Chapter 294 Preparation To Return
Just as Skye began to question what had suddenly happened.
She saw Maximus looking at her with a smile.
"Congratulations on your advancement…"
"Maximus!" Skye jumped in surprise.
"How is your strength?"
"I'm much stronger now!" Skye waved her fist, eager to fight.
"Haha, you're indeed stronger."
Maximus felt the teeming energy inside Skye and was a little shocked.
Compared to his ever-expanding domain and his invulnerable soul and body.
The energy that Skye possessed was immortal.
According to the simulation of his domain.
Skye's body and soul, although not invulnerable, were immortal.
No matter the damage or cause, they would always regenerate in their perfect form.
Her attacks, whether physical or imbued with energy, were also immortal and could never be cured or repaired.
It was like an attack at the level of causality.
Of course, this was not invincibility.
Skye only possesses the power of law, which is the lowest level of law.
Higher levels of energy, like the essence of law and the origin of law, can easily invalidate these unique features.
However, at the same tier, no one could match Skye.
No matter how talented they were—unless they possessed a higher form of energy, they would be no match.
It might look quite tasteless as Skye was already invincible at the same tier.
However, these kinds of features are quite suited for Skye as she likes all kinds of crazy training.
Like Maximus, Skye's tasteless advancement feature was the cause of their low-level physique.
Although it's at the ultimate level, it has limited effects at the high tier.
"How long have I been in seclusion?"
"It's been long enough," Maximus said, gently hugging her.
"Then do you miss me?" Skye asked, blinking her eyes.
"I miss you every day," Maximus said, kissing her neck.
"You!" Skye blushed in embarrassment.
"What's wrong? Don't you miss me?"
"Ah, I miss you too," Skye said, looking into his eyes.
"Then…"
"Ah!"
...
Soon, a few months passed, and everything settled down.
Maximus also got ready as they were about to return to the Etherium realm.
He called all his family members, including his wives, children, in-laws, and grandchildren.
They all stopped what they were doing and attended the family discussion.
"Have you already prepared everything you need?"
"We will return to the Etherium realm in a few years," Maximus started.
"That… Dad, can I stay here?" Lux suddenly asked.
Maximus didn't answer and just looked at him.
"Dad, doing business in the Etherium realm is a bit lackluster."
"Furthermore, I'm doing very well with my business now," Lux explained.
Indeed, doing business in the Etherium realm was like playing house.
There is no technical content at all.
Success relied on either having a wide range of connections or super strength.
The Etherium realm, especially the Arcane continent, was already divided among various forces.
No matter how good or successful one was, there wasn't much to gain.
Lux had had enough of that place.
Even with his dimensional physique and knowledge.
If it weren't for the help of his father, he wouldn't have had a chance in that realm.
However, in the abyss, everything was in chaos, and every place presented an opportunity.
With the right manipulation, he could earn big and achieve his ambitions.
Even without his father's help, Lux was confident he could make it big in this chaotic environment.
"Hmm, then you can stay here," Maximus finally nodded at Lux's insistence.
Lux really had nothing to do in the Etherium realm.
It was better to stay here and train further.
"What about the others? Who else wants to stay here?" Maximus asked, seeing the others looking at him, unsure of what to say.
"Dad, I want to stay here with Ella," Max said nervously.
"Reason?" Maximus inquired.
"The Etherium realm is too peaceful and lacks challenges," Max said straightforwardly.
"Approved," Maximus didn't hesitate and quickly approved.
"And me!" Lyla stood up, seeing that her brother had succeeded in persuading their father.
"Lyla?!" The others looked in shock at Lyla.
"Why? It's too dangerous here," Maximus said, not wanting Lyla to stay.
His daughter was different from his sons.
They were like his padded jacket, he didn't want them to get hurt.
"It's much more fun here," Lyla pouted, observing her father's strong reaction.
"So?" Maximus still didn't agree.
"Me too, Dad. I want to stay here," seeing that Lyla had not achieved a positive result, Cyra spoke up.
"Why?" Maximus sighed in frustration.
Cyra was usually silent, but when she wanted something, she was quite stubborn.
Why did his daughters want to leave him one by one?
His heart couldn't take it.
"I want to train myself," Cyra said straightforwardly.
The Etherium realm is really too peaceful like heaven.
It's full of rules and regulations that protect everyone.
It's only a good place for learning not for development.
"Is there anyone else?" Maximus neither agreed nor denied but asked the others.
"I-I want to be with my sister," Lydia said in a small voice.
Lyla and Lydia had long been inseparable, like twins.
So it wasn't surprising that even the gentle and peace-seeking Lydia wanted to stay in this dark place.
"Me too, Dad; my wives need to train for a while," Liam, the wife slave, said helplessly.
"Oh."contemporary romance
"Anymore?"
"I want to stay too, Dad, so I can watch over my sisters," Lily said after a bit of thinking.
As a big sister, although Lily didn't want to stay in this dark place, she couldn't just let her sisters be alone.
"Hmm."
"So, Max, Ella, Lyla, Cyra, Lydia, Liam, Amara, Elysienne, and Lyla."
"Uh, us too, Grandfather!"
"Martin and I want to stay!" Silvan hurriedly said.
Silvan and Martin possessed a battle-type physique and needed to constantly fight to unleash their potential.
Furthermore, they were influenced by their uncle Max and were quite warlike.
"So, Silvan and Martin too," Maximus nodded.
Maximus had already accepted the fact that his children didn't want to be with him.
Looking at their faces, as if begging to let them stay, Maximus sighed.
"Alright, you can stay..."
"Yay!"
"Thank you, Dad!"
"You're the best!"
"You're the most handsome father ever, Dad!"
"BUT!" Maximus suddenly said, making them nervous.
"You must make your safety your first priority."
"I don't want to hear any news of you getting hurt."
"Otherwise..." Maximus didn't continue, but they understood.
They would either be forcefully dragged by their father back home.
Or their father would take revenge and vent his anger on their enemies who hurt them.
Either way, they understood what their father said was all for their own good.
Although he was a little controlling at times, they could feel that they were loved and being cared for.
"Don't worry, Dad, we will take care of ourselves," Lily said, standing up to hug him for reassurance.
"That's right, don't worry about us!"
Lyla, Lydia, and Cyra joined their sister and comforted their father.
"Hmm..." Maximus hugged back, a little comforted.
It was still his daughters who knew how to take care of his old father's feelings.
As for the boys, they already had their wives and no longer cared for the old him.
After settling who was staying and who was returning, Maximus began to assign them tasks.
Liam would be in charge of all the things that needed to be managed, whether it was in the guild, the stronghold, business, etc.
Lux would also help him but would mainly take care of money-
related matters.
Max's only task was to protect.
Whenever his siblings, nephews, and others were being bullied, he only needed to respond.
As for the girls, they were given free rein.
Maximus only requested that they be safe and happy.
After all, Maximus could only pamper his daughters, not hurt them.
As for his in-laws and grandchildren, Maximus also didn't assign them anything and just advised them to be safe.
His in-laws, Amara and Elysienne, were already as strong as an apex sovereign, so he didn't need to worry.
Ella also had her grandmother as her backing.
Whoever hurt the granddaughter of one of the top forces in the world would surely suffer without him doing anything.
As for his grandchildren, with their uncles and aunts watching over them, they should be safe.
After settling everything in his family, Maximus went to Malgron.
...
In the Battle Axe Bar, Maximus booked the entire bar, hoping to talk to Malgron.
"What took you, a busy man, here?" Malgron asked with a smile.
Besides their first meeting, Maximus never went to him if there was nothing important.
"I'm about to return to the Etherium realm," Maximus said straightforwardly.
"Oh?"
Malgron got interested and took out a precious Tier 10 wine that he was reluctant to drink.
As for Tier 11?
Even if he could afford that, he wouldn't be able to drink it.
Just the Tier 10 wine was already so strong that it could punch him in the face.
What's more for a Tier 11 wine?
Still, thinking of that taste, he couldn't help but drool.
"I remember that you are from the Curse Continent."
"Is it about the play that little nerd set?"
