Holding on to the hope they had, all the powers of the Planar Chaos Region began to repair the barrier with all their might.

Using their strength, they hastened the conversion of chaos energy into a form that the barrier could absorb.

The Overseers even began to use the myriad energy they had saved over the years, rapidly repairing the barrier.

Soon, before the Chaos Destroyer could launch its second attack, the barrier was restored to its pristine condition.

Boom~

Withstanding the attack, instead of gloom, light filled their eyes.

"It seems its attack has weakened!"

"No, it's because the barrier has grown stronger!"

"How could the barrier suddenly become stronger?"

"It's the will! It's the power of will! The power of will began to move according to the people's wishes!"

Before they knew it, the dormant neutral will that had been empowering everyone was transferred to the barrier, enhancing it.

This gave them an extra breath of space. Slowly, they collected their calm as they watched the Chaos Destroyer continue to attack.

"Haha, that's it! We can stand here for millions of years, and the barrier wouldn't break!"

"It's definitely stronger than an origin dark beast. Is this creature really at the Tier 14 realm?"

"Probably. Since it can crack the barrier in one hit, its strength is beyond our imagination."

Unable to look directly at the Chaos Destroyer, they could only estimate its strength based on the damage it had caused.

As for the Overseers, they had long been trembling in fear.

If not for the faint hope that Maximus had a solution, they would have long left this place.

"We should be able to hold on for a while…"

As the barrier stabilized, allowing its restoration speed to catch up with the Chaos Destroyer's damage, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The only problem was the enormous consumption of chaos energy.

Earlier, even with the full force of the dark beast tide, they could last for thousands of epochs. Now, they probably wouldn't even last a hundred million years.

"When the hell are you going to come out, Maximus? We're relying on you for this one…"

Meanwhile, deep in the Aeon Plane, Maximus, who had been in seclusion all this time, finally grasped something.

With the will of all beings united into one, it seemed to become a key, unlocking the inspiration that could allow him to merge all the Archons of Law.

"Condense!"

Not letting the opportunity slip away, Maximus controlled all the Archons of Law, merging them into one, creating the Myriad of Maxim, the ultimate path!

As their Archons of Law trembled, seemingly welcoming their ruler, all the powerhouses outside couldn't help but pause and turn toward the Aeon Plane.

"Here, finally here!"

"Damn! This movement… What is he doing?!"

Feeling their Archons of Law slipping out of control as they flew toward the Aeon Plane, instead of restraining it, they simply watched, waiting for what would happen next.

Soon, with tens of thousands of different Archons of Law revolving in the Aeon Plane, the anticipation in their hearts continued to build.

Little by little, as if an explosion was about to erupt, they unconsciously held their breath in silence.

Suddenly, as if all the laws began to coalesce, a sharp sound rang in their ears, and a blinding light erupted across the Chaotic Void.

Soon after, slowly opening their eyes, they saw the man they had been waiting for, Maximus Shadowcrest, majestically floating in chaos as if he could face any enemy around.

"You've waited long enough. Leave the rest to me…"

Like the decree of a god, the moment they heard it, they accepted it as fact, celebrating in happiness as if the dawn were about to break.

Going to another side of the barrier, Maximus faced off with the Chaos Destroyer.

"Who are you? Are you the guardian of this place?" the Chaos Destroyer spoke into his mind.

"You can speak?"

"I am the being of chaos, capable of anything and everything. Now speak, are you the guardian of this place?"

"So what if I am? What do you want to do?"

"Give me the child of doom, and I will leave this place intact!" the Chaos Destroyer said, as if granting him an amnesty.

"Hand you the child of doom? Hah! How about you hand me your head, and I'll let you leave!"

"It seems you wish for death!"

Not bothering to exchange more words, the Chaos Destroyer attacked.

Disintegrating the very chaos itself, Maximus watched as the claw of destruction descended upon him.

"Not so close..."

Without fear in his eyes, Maximus met the attack head-on, mobilizing all the power of the Myriad of Maxim.

Like two giant suns colliding, the entire area began to be devastated by the blunt force of their clash.

"It seems I can tie with it!"

Seeing his attack perfectly block the Chaos Destroyer's, Maximus felt more confident.

However, without giving him time to think, the Chaos Destroyer continued its assault.

Quickly replenishing his energy, Maximus defended once more.

Boom!

As another explosion rocked their exchange, the dark beast seemed to sense the danger and began to diverge.

One after another, as Maximus continued to block the Chaos Destroyer's attacks, it grew impatient.

"Why! Why must you stand in my way?!"

Going berserk, the intensity of its attacks increased, giving Maximus a harder time.

However, instead of despair, the smile on his face widened.

"Haha, so this is a Tier 14 being! A being of chaos!"

"Foolish guardian, to desecrate this chaos being, I'll end you and everything related to you."

"If you can't defeat me, don't spout any empty words! A chaos being? Hah, more like a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered!"

Defending against the Chaos Destroyer's attacks, Maximus slowly began to adjust to his newfound strength.

A hundred years, a thousand years, a million years…Aas they fought on, Maximus began to grasp the power of the Myriad of Maxim.

"Now, let's see if a chaos being can withstand an attack combined with the power of will…"
