Taking out countless Ether Devices created by the Order of Maxim over the past hundred years, Maximus slowly merged them into the Aeon Plane.
Like a breathing apparatus, they gave the Aeon Plane multiple outlets, allowing it to absorb chaos energy and convert it into plane origin.
As if injected with a stimulant, the Aeon Plane’s speed, density, and expansion multiplied with each embedded Ether Device.
"It seems they’re not useless after all..." Maximus’s eyes lit up, observing the Aeon Plane’s reaction to the Ether Devices.
Over the years, the Ether Devices had become obsolete.
Though they could produce origin energy, it was far less than what he could harvest from chaos grass.
As for reconfiguring them to generate myriad energy, it was too complex, and the effort far outweighed the benefit.
Even if he could create such a device, it wouldn’t be as convenient or fast as directly killing a tier 13 dark beast.
He had thought the Ether Devices would be retired, outdated, and decommissioned, but now they seemed to have found their perfect purpose.
Like suction cups, the Ether Devices began to suck out the chaos energy around massively boosting the Aeon Plane’s expansion and evolution.
Satisfied with the results, Maximus quickly merged the remaining Ether Devices and moved on to the top architectures.
From the Atrium of Law, Plane Armageddon, Skjǫldrún Stronghold, Shadowcrest Castle, Space-Time Lab, Zerg Hive, and more, all the top architectures, from one to ten thousand, were blessed one after another, simultaneously ascending with the Aeon Plane’s evolution.
Each will soon become a unique feature of the Aeon Plane, holding endless potential for attack, defense, and countless other uses.
As for the Shadow Void Land and the Tower of Chaos, Maximus set them aside.
The Shadow Void Land and the Tower of Chaos were already influenced by chaotic laws.
Integrating them with the Aeon Plane’s power would limit their growth and inclusiveness, which would be counterproductive.
Though he remained their controller, these two architectures were reserved for everyone against their ongoing struggle against the dark beasts.
Soon, after merging all the top architectures into the Aeon Plane, Maximus turned to various treasures.
These treasures were collected from across the Planar Chaos Region.
Each possessed unique properties that could benefit the Aeon Plane, that Maximus ordered the collection of every one before.
Though they might not help the Aeon Plane immediately, they would gradually enhance its origin, nourishing its growth and evolution.
Furthermore, Maximus deduced that these unique treasures could enable the Aeon Plane to create a greater treasure, one that could surpass all others.
By absorbing the essence and strength of these treasures, the Aeon Plane might one day produce something unrivaled in all the chaos.
After pouring all the treasures in his possession into the Aeon Plane, Maximus turned to the final piece, one that could either elevate it to new heights or shatter it entirely.
"The Amalgamation of Will... I wonder how it will react with the Aeon Plane."
After studying multiple archons of law, Maximus was beginning to decipher the power of the Amalgamation of Will.
At first, he thought it resembled the power of law, only more chaotic and unpredictable.
But upon deeper analysis, he realized this energy wasn’t even born from chaos!
Though lower in quality and strength, its uniqueness rivaled Chaos Energy and Dark Energy.
An independent force, separate from the chaos that creates everything and the dark energy that destroys everything: the Amalgamation of Will, the collective will of all beings, a power that could empower everyone and everything.
Indeed, its strength lay not in creation or destruction but in empowerment.
From a thin stick, it could empower it to become a towering tree that encompasses everything.
Unfortunately, the will of all beings is inherently chaotic and destructive. Without guidance and unification, it often diminishes or even destroys the very thing it aims to help.
Selfishness, laziness, cruelty, corruption, lack of control, cowardice, jealousy, every being inherently possesses more flaws than virtues.
Fortunately, whenever Maximus used the Amalgamation of Will, he was the one guiding it.
Gathering all the admiration, respect, gratitude, awe, affection, honor, and obedience, Maximus only have the positive will directed toward him when he used its power.
He had never faced issues wielding it before.
Even when Etheria used it, the Aeon Plane was already unified under his leadership, resulting in a positive outcome.
His plane-level ability, True Path, also guided everything toward what he deemed the perfect destination.
Otherwise, the consequences of Etheria using the Amalgamation of Will would not something he could easily resolved.
Taking a deep breath, Maximus focused with unprecedented concentration, weaving the Amalgamation of Will into the fundamental origin of the Aeon Plane.
Though dangerous and unpredictable, he believed it was his only chance against the coming threat, the Chaos of Destruction.
Using the Aeon Plane as an anchor, he planned to connect the will of every being in the Planar Chaos Region and use its power to tide against any disaster.
Patiently weaving the good, bad, and neutral wills, Maximus created distinct sections for each.
He planned to use the good for precise evolution, the neutral for general amplification, and the bad for destruction and attack.
Soon, slowly but surely, Maximus began reconfiguring the veins of the Aeon Plane with the Amalgamation of Will.
After working for thousands of years, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and eventually millions, Maximus finally succeeded.
"It’s done..." he muttered with a smile. Discover more novels at novèlfire.net
The Amalgamation of Will surged in quantity, yet remained restrained, proving his work a resounding success.
Confirming its stability, Maximus finally took time to observe the Aeon Plane as a whole.
"It seems a long time has passed..."
From the Aeon Plane’s evolution until now, Maximus calculated that roughly five million years had elapsed.
The Aeon Plane was now a qualified tier 13 plane, filled with dense energy concentration, completeness of law, and a size surpassing most tier 13 planes.
Moreover, its growth was far from over.
At its current pace, the Aeon Plane could match the quality of the Overseer’s Planes in at most a hundred million years.
"The Aeon Plane has finally ascended to be worthy of our home..."
