The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

Chapter 643 Infinit Energy, Unbreakable Defense

A few years later, The Shadow Void Ship returned to The Skj?ldrún Stronghold.

"The transportation was too inefficient," Maximus complained.

Taking a few years just to go back was a massive waste of time.

"Have the other top prodigies arrive in the stronghold." Returning to their residence, Maximus ask Liam.

He had set the rule that when the dark beast numbers reached the warning line, all personnel away must return to the stronghold.

"They already returned. Most of them were out, trying to reduce the number of dark beasts," Liam reported.

"Tsk, it's still too late,"

Looking at the map, hundreds of billions of dark beasts had already formed a wave, charging forward to The Skj?ldrún Stronghold.

"Recall all of them, prepare to defend."

Without resting a single moment, Maximus hurriedly mobilized the stronghold to prepare. Experience more on empire

Soon, a few months later, under the solemnness of the beast wave, a hundred billion dark beasts surrounded the stronghold, coming from all directions.

Feeling the chaotic miasma and the bewitching dark energy amplifying their fear, their hearts were in turmoil.

"We are finished!"

It might seem like they had the advantage, having trillions in number compared to a mere hundred billion dark beasts.

However, a large dark beast group had a suppressing effect.

The more their number, the thicker the chaotic miasma, making them stronger than normal.

With a hundred billion tier-10 dark beasts amplifying each other, their strength became comparable to a tier-11 feral dark beast.

Facing an equivalent to a hundred billion tier-11 feral dark beasts, even their trillions of numbers paled in comparison.

Even Maximus's family would take a few minutes to kill such a tier of dark beast, much less the others.

This was not the worst part.

The worst part was the suppressive effect of the heavy, chaotic miasma and dark energy.

Feeling their power stagnant and their path of law sluggish in response, they felt helplessness and despair.

"Why haven't you been killing dark beasts? We told you the more their number, the faster they grow!" one of the secret prodigies complained.

While he was fighting those tier-11 dark beasts, these inferior talents dared to be lazy.

Like a virus, these dark beasts grew more vigorously the more their number.

"Hmph! How dare you blame us? If you hadn't been selfish and helped us, how could it reach this point?"

"That's right! Most of you left the outer area. How could we clean up the dark beasts alone?"

Although less than a billion left the stronghold to hunt deep in the dark domain, it was more than enough to push the final nail in the coffin.

Bringing most of the top talents with them, the trillions who remained could barely kill a few million dark beasts every day.

Without a team leader, their efficiency dropped to a freezing point.

Hearing this reason, the top talents in the stronghold fell into silence.

Indeed, part of the reason such a large beast wave formed was because they left the stronghold and let the others fend for themselves.

What they didn't think was that in just a few decades, such a large dark beast wave would be formed.

The plan they had in mind was to come back every few hundred years, then clean the outer area periodically.

Who knew these inferior talents were too incompetent?

Meanwhile, Maximus, who had already expected the early breaking point of the stronghold, leisurely chatted with Liam.

"How much energy is left in the stronghold?"

"It should be enough to last a few years of siege."

"Tsk, not nearly enough. It seems I have to make up for the shortfall,"

Unlike the others, who were nervous about the beast wave, Maximus was quite calm.

As long as The Skj?ldrún Stronghold stood firm, a mere tier-10 dark beast wave was nothing.

Although The Skj?ldrún Stronghold they were in was a mere replica, as a top architectural wonder, its defense was no joke.

However, to support such defenses, an enormous amount of energy was needed.

By absorbing the free void energy and converting it to origin energy, it could run by itself autonomously.

Unfortunately, in times of emergency, it required active support.

With how poor these talents were, this job could only fall to Maximus.

It seemed the Overlords also expected this and consciously constructed an energy core array.

They even strengthened the energy consumption mechanisms to make up for the defense.

As for the dark beast wave passing their stronghold to breach the entrance to the Aeon Plane, it was impossible.

Like moths to a flame, these dark beasts couldn't resist the blinding brightness of the stronghold.

Holding trillions of delicious high-energy bait, these mindless dark beasts could only charge at the stronghold.

Unless the stronghold collapsed and they all died, the Aeon Plane wouldn't be breached.

"A few decades should be enough to clear this beast wave," Maximus calculated.

"How much would that cost?" Liam muttered in a daze.

With a hundred billion dark beasts attacking at the same time, the energy consumption would be enormous.

At the highest estimate, the stronghold might consume hundreds of quintillions of units of origin energy per day to defend.

Converted to crystallized causality, it would cost hundreds of millions.

As the housekeeper, Liam knew the ins and outs of the family.

He remembered that their family had about 250 billion Ether Forge devices.

Producing only about 65 quintillions of units of origin energy every day, they would be in deficit for a while.

"Don't worry about the cost. Just defend the base well," Maximus said nonchalantly.

Possessing the Dimensional Physique, Maximus didn't concern himself with the cost.

Much less so when it merely involved origin energy.

Looking at his dimensional space that could barely contain his reserve, he had no worry.

The number of his Ether Refiner devices was not nearly enough to refine all the origin energy he produced into strands of causality.

As a result, all the extra origin energy was dumped into his dimensional space.

Taking in countless units of origin energy, his dimensional space even showed signs of collapse.

Fortunately, he had enough ultimate materials to stabilize the space.

With so much origin energy, Maximus didn't care if he supported the base for thousands of years, much less a few decades.
