The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

Chapter 430  Last Floor

Virtual Tower, 161,802nd Floor.

Learning from the previous round, before Maximus ascended to the next floor, he put up the Dimensional Barrier of the World Tree.

Similar to the previous floor, the guardian's strength was overwhelmingly powerful, freezing space and time to a standstill.

In just a glance, Maximus felt the horror of facing the guardian.

From the previous ten billion to a hundred billion magnitude of power, this was already the peak strength of a powerhouse mastering a river of law.

Such overwhelming strength made Maximus feel that even a genuine Tier 11 powerhouse would kneel before it.

As Maximus looked at the guardian, it too seemed to gaze back at him.

"Hmm? Is it sentient?" Maximus thought, puzzled.

Recalling the behavior of the previous guardian, who had scrutinized him similarly, Maximus cautiously held his breath.

As it slowly approached him, Maximus couldn't help but hold his breath.

"You..." A heavenly voice pierced his mind, nearly tearing through the dimensional barrier.

"This is the end..." With suppressing pressure, the guardian pointed a finger slowly towards him.

This time, Maximus saw the true power it wielded.

With time and space tearing at the concentrated essence of law the Dimensional Barrier of the World Tree slowly cracked like glass

Seeing the Dimensional Barrier couldn't last longer Maximus didn't hesitate and activated his ultimate origin ability.

"Origin Explosion!" He thought internally.

10x... n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

20x...

30x...

50x...

80x...

100x...

150x...

200x...

300x...

Over 120 billion magnitudes of power surged through Maximus's body, almost tearing it apart.

Noticing his body was on the verge of destruction from such pressure, Maximus quickly turned his attention to the guardian.

"Not yet. This is just the beginning."

Punching through the guardian's stomach, it flew into the void and disintegrated upon reaching an unknown distance.

Cough~

Exiting his hyper state, Maximus coughed wildly, feeling unbearable pain throughout his body.

His Origin guarded by crystal will, now showed noticeable cracks due to immense pressure.

"Is this the limit of my body?" Maximus smiled wryly.

His Origin was damaged and the amalgamation of will stored in his body depleted, facing the guardian of the next floor left him uncertain.

Analyzing the rules of the place, Maximus calculated that the next floor's guardian would possess at least a trillion magnitude of power.

Compared to his modest 400 million magnitudes of power, he was severely outmatched.

A trillion magnitudes of power was something only a Tier 11 powerhouse mastering the ocean of law could possess.

Facing a being only below the Overlord in their plane of existence, defeat seemed inevitable.

Fortunately, there was a silver lining.

Although the guardian possessed a power that surpassed limits, it could only utilize the essence of law.

No matter how powerful it was, it was still an inferior energy.

Testing the tolerance limit of the Dimensional Barrier of the World Tree, Maximus calculated that even if the enemy possessed a trillion magnitude of power, it could still be blocked for a brief second.

To defeat the next floor's guardian, he only needed to achieve a 3,000x Origin Explosion and attack.

The problem was, that even if he had the energy to reach such magnitude of power, his body simply couldn't handle it.

With just a 300x Origin Explosion, his body was already on the verge of breaking down.

Thousands more, and he would die instantly.

Maximus didn't know if this virtual realm could resurrect him if his Origin was directly destroyed.

While there hadn't been any instances of anyone dying in the Virtual Realm, Maximus didn't want to be the first.

If he relied on his immortality, however, Maximus didn't know how many epochs it would take before he could be resurrected.

Weighing the pros and cons, Maximus called out the thing that was watching him.

During his fights, Maximus noticed that something was always watching him.

Especially on the higher floors, this scrutinizing gaze became more and more relentless.

After calling out, a blob of fire suddenly appeared before him.

"Who are you?" Maximus asked.

"I am the administrator of this place. You may call me Zero," it replied.

"Zero? The Origin Spirit of the Virtual Realm?" Maximus asked in shock.

The Origin Spirit was the highest level of spirit in their plane of existence.

Like Ships Spirit, Jixie Fairies, Token Spirits, Treasure Spirit, every other species of spirit was beneath it.

Although Zero was unknown to many, given his interactions with the Sterling Family, how could Maximus not know the core of the Virtual Realm?

"Oh, you know of me?" Zero said impassively.

"Anyway, why have you called me?" Zero asked, not wasting any time.

If not for Maximus's potential and power, Zero wouldn't have even bothered attending to Maximus personally.

"Could the Virtual Realm still resurrect me even if my Origin is destroyed? What about treasures?" Seeing that Zero was straightforward, Maximus immediately asked.

"This is the Virtual Realm. Everything here is virtual and was only generated."

"You were only sustaining damage in reality because my master willed it so."

"In this trial, you don't need to worry about your existence."

"As for treasures... for your achievements, I will make an exception."

Hearing Zero's explanation, Maximus heaved a sigh of relief.

Especially regarding treasures; otherwise, Maximus would feel at lost sacrificing the World Tree.

"Thank you for your consideration, Lord Zero," Maximus said respectfully.

"Hmm, it doesn't matter. I look forward to you passing this trial," Zero said as it vanished without a trace.

With Zero's assurance, Maximus began to prepare for the last floor.

Firstly, he replenished and healed his body.

Taking various Tier 11 potions he had prepared, it took Maximus a few months to fully recover.

"Next..."

Looking at thirty thousand Etherguns, Maximus began to reconfigure them.

Each Ethergun could unleash 100 million magnitudes of power.

If he could harness this energy and feed it back to himself, Maximus would have no worries about the lack of energy to fuel his Origin Explosion.

Thirty thousand Etherguns spewing out 100 million magnitudes of energy each moment totaled over 3 quadrillion energy units!

Amazed by this idea, Maximus busied himself for several years reconstructing the Etherguns.

"I'll name you Etherfusion," Maximus muttered after some thought.

Looking at the Etherfusion in front of him, with a long tube as thin as a thread, he couldn't help but smile.

Each of these tubes could feed energy back to him, harnessing his unlimited energy.

Unfortunately, due to the lack of time, there were various shortcomings.

Firstly, the Etherfusion had to be directly connected to him to function.

To increase efficiency and decrease delay, Maximus had to imbue it directly to him.

Secondly, because it wasn't directly linked to his Origin, there was some loss of power and a slight delay.

Of the 3 quadrillion magnitudes of energy, only a thousandth could pass through his Origin.

There was also a delay of a few nanoseconds, further reducing the boost it could provide.

Nevertheless, it could supply him with 1.5 trillion magnitudes of power at full capacity, more than enough to defeat the last floor.

Connecting tens of thousands of wires the size of threads into his body, Maximus felt a bit uncomfortable.

"I'll definitely fix this later..." Maximus thought with a frown.

"Next floor..."

...

161,803rd floor.

As soon as Maximus ascended, he quickly reinforced the dimensional barrier to its full capacity, urging the Etherfusions to start working.

Feeling an abundance of energy coursing through his body, Maximus immediately activated his ultimate origin ability to harness even greater power.

Meanwhile, the guardian had learned from the previous mistakes.

Without delay, it attacked Maximus with full force.

Fortunately, Maximus had anticipated this.

In a fraction of a second, time seemed to freeze as Maximus maneuvered the dimensional barrier to deflect the incoming attack.

However, just as he anticipated its attack would shift, the guardian adjusted the position of its strike.

Seeing the attack change direction, Maximus swiftly adjusted the dimensional barrier once more.

Changing its target again and again, the guardian had no choice but to concentrate more power, aiming to destroy the World Tree.

In these milliseconds of anticipation and counterattack, the guardian lost its aim, managing to strike only Maximus's shoulder.

Meanwhile, having prepared his attack and feeling trillions of magnitudes of power coursing through his body, Maximus smiled.

"Goodbye..." Maximus murmured as the energy concentrated in his mouth.

Boom!

With a ray of destruction, the virtual space trembled as if experiencing an earthquake.

The entire Virtual Realm also suffered a momentary lag, causing countless losses.

Financial losses, information losses, and even lives were lost due to erroneous coordinate transfers.

With the masses panicking, some wondered if a titled abyss creature was attacking the Virtual Realm.

Fortunately, Zero quickly suppressed the phenomenon, restoring normalcy before further losses occurred.

Zero explained that the Virtual Master had attempted something that briefly disrupted the Virtual Realm.

With Zero's announcement, most calmed down, believing it was a false alarm.

As for the losses, they can only blame themselves for their bad luck, never considering it the Virtual Master's fault.
