Chapter 620 Elimenation Round
Three years later, after the long wait, the Dimensional Competition was finally about to begin.
Looking excitedly, they suddenly felt an overlord aura descend.
"This aura… Overlord Ascelon!"
Even without a clear look at the man, the dominating authoritative aura of the Overlord of the Interdimensional Council was easily recognizable.
Silencing the crowd, Ascelon didn't waste any time and quickly explained the rules.
Within the Scattered Void Domain, all contestants would be randomly dispersed and divided.
Each Scattered Domain would hold an elimination battle.
After being sent to the battlefield, one would only be able to get out when they surrendered or when only 10% of the contestants remained.
Otherwise, they would have to continue killing each other.
Aside from that, there were no other rules or even a time limit.
After briefly explaining the rules, Ascelon left, leaving a countdown above them.
Feeling the pressure dissipate, the crowd fell into a frenzy discussing the competition.
"So it's a battle of survival…"
"We only need to hide until there is only ten percent remaining."
"There is also no time limit. Then how long do you think this battle would last?"
"That's right. Without a time limit, we can just hide ourselves. What kind of competition is this?"
Instead of being relieved about the simple rules, they became doubtful, thinking it was a trap.
"It doesn't matter. We should know what is happening as we get into the battlefield."
Instead of thinking of various conspiracies, they should think better about how to survive and be one of the last 10% remaining.

Meanwhile, Maximus also began talking to his family about various precautions.
"If you meet those four, don't be stubborn and quickly escape. If you can't, don't hesitate to surrender."
Among the participants, the only ones who could match his strength were Sira, Nyx, Zar, and Paragon.

Although he was confident he could defeat them, his family was another matter.
"We know that. You don't have to worry too much!"
"That's right. This is only the elimination round. How could we be careless?"
"Anyway, be careful…" Maximus said one last time.
Looking at the countdown, they began to wait in anticipation.
[10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1…0…]
As the countdown ended, a light warped around their bodies, forcibly teleporting them to the Scattered Void Domain.

Landing on the battlefield, Maximus quickly surveyed the land.
"Hmm? Tier 12 formation?"
Just a brief look and he quickly noticed the Tier 12 formation warping around the land.
"What is this for…"
Studying the array, he quickly noticed its similarity with the Ashura Realm.
"To strengthen one with killing!"
The array seemed to absorb all of an individual's essence, then amplify and feed it back to the killer.
This amplification is the main part.
Amplifying an individual's essence was much more powerful than absorbing strands of causality.
Strands of causality merely boosted and filled one's energy.
On the other hand, this essence strengthened physique, potential, and the very origin foundation of an individual.
As long as there were enough bodies, one could even enhance their physique to Origin-grade.
There was also no worry of one advancing to the Tier 11 realm accidentally.
The array suppressed and ensured one would stay at the Tier 10 realm.
The excess essence energy would merely increase one's magnitude of power.
According to the array, this power amplification was infinite.
It was even possible for one to reach trillions or quadrillions of power.
"This array… How magnificent."
Seeing such an array, Maximus could only marvel at its complexity and magnificence.
It seemed to border the realm of a Tier 13 array, manipulating even the rules of the Aeon Plane.
"Those Overlords really invested a lot this time."
Just a rough look and Maximus saw multiple ultimate Tier 12 materials used in the array, not to mention the effort and work put into creating such a masterpiece.
Suddenly, while he was studying the composition of the array, an attack came from behind.
Thud~
"Hmm? Not bad. You just came in time."
Crushing the helpless attacker, Maximus observed how the array operated.
"I see, I see! That's ingenious!"
Seeing such a masterpiece of an array, Maximus had long forgotten he was in a competition.
Besides the four peak talents of the Aeon Plane, Maximus didn't care about anyone else.
Even if all of them came at him, Maximus wouldn't bat an eye.
As for the array enhancing an individual that could threaten him?
It could only enhance an individual's magnitude of power to a quadrillion at most—and that's only if one could kill most of the competitors.
After millions of years of preparation, Maximus's magnitude of power had already reached a quadrillion.
Plus, with his path of knowledge and origin explosion, he didn't fear anyone.
Forgetting about the trial, Maximus continued to investigate the array.
Peeking into the essence of the tier 13 realm, a mere trial was nothing.

Meanwhile, on another battlefield, Maximus's family was on a killing spree.
Noticing even their path of law increasing with each kill, they couldn't hold back their excitement.
They calculated that, with enough lives, they could even enhance their path of law to the Ocean Level.
"Sister, this is too bloody~" Lydia complained.
"Don't complain. This is our chance to catch up with Father~ Hehe, maybe we can even surpass him," Lyla muttered with a smile.
"It's still bad. We shouldn't rely on the lives of others to advance." Serene also went pale with all the killing.
"Can't we just wait quietly? We don't have to be so barbaric!" Asha nodded in agreement.
Thanks to the power of destiny, the Valkyries—Lily, Lyla, Lydia, Serene, Cyra, Asha, Maya, Maxine, Lila, and even Lexi, the daughter of Lux—were all together.
Initially, Asha wanted all her family to stay together. Unfortunately, the interference of the Overlord was too strong.
Hearing her sisters' complaints, Lily rolled her eyes.
"Alright, stop being dramatic. Don't you notice the array protecting the origin of those we killed?"
"Huh? It really is. They seem to be encapsulated by an array," Maya nodded in confirmation.
"What does this mean? Anyway, I'm getting hungry. Can we eat first?" Maxine didn't care and drooled, thinking of something to eat.
"Cousin, be serious," Lexi quickly dragged Maxine, sensing the seriousness of the atmosphere.
"Oh~"
