Having acclimated to the power of the myriad laws, Maximus began to infuse it with the power of will.
Filled with the overwhelming power of belief and wishes of every being behind him, Maximus clashed once more with the Chaos Destroyer.
Boom!
With a shockwave larger than before, the chaotic void began to tear apart, sending a backlash that continued to devastate the area.
Meanwhile, receiving the attack, the Chaos Destroyer was visibly stunned, as a dent appeared in its sacred body.
Unlike other Chaos Beings, the Chaos Destroyer had never been struck by anything lower than itself.
"How dare you!"
Humiliated that a mere tier 13 guardian dared to desecrate its body, the Chaos Destroyer erupted with even greater power.
"It seems the power of will truly works!"
Though it was just a dent, it gave Maximus hope.
Damaging the enemy meant it wasn't invincible and could be killed.
With a surge of fighting intent, Maximus faced the Chaos Destroyer's next attack.
This time, instead of receiving it, he dodged and counterattacked!
Bam~
Like an ant stepping on its face, the Chaos Destroyer couldn't wait to swat it away.
Seizing the opportunity, Maximus gradually led the Chaos Destroyer deeper into the chaotic void, away from the Central Chaos region.
Though the Chaos Destroyer noticed, it didn't believe Maximus could do anything to it, continuing to pursue him in fury.

Soon, after millions of years of exchanges, Maximus and the Chaos Destroyer had finally left the range of the Planar Chaos Region and entered the endless chaotic void.
"Now, I can focus on the battle," Maximus smiled, having lured the Chaos Destroyer far away.
Earlier, although he could dodge most of its attacks, to avoid damaging the Central Chaos region, Maximus had to block it instead.
Even his own attacks had been somewhat restrained, not wanting to cause the place any collateral damage.
"I admit you have some merits. But how long can you last? Can you fight for millions or even billions of epochs?" the Chaos Destroyer said calmly.
It acknowledged that Maximus' power, combined with the Myriad of Laws and the power of will, was formidable.
However, despite a slight disadvantage in power, it held a crushing upper hand in terms of endurance, vitality, resilience, and toughness.
Having existed since the conception of chaos, the Chaos Destroyer barely understood the concept of time.
Even if it fought for millions of years or billions of epochs, for the Chaos Destroyer, it was merely entertainment in the passing of time.
Even with its goal, the child of doom, was gone, the Chaos Destroyer had nothing to lose.
"Trillions of epochs? Hah! You overestimate yourself! An epoch! It would take only an epoch before I have the power to kill you!" Maximus declared with determination.
Though his current attack barely dented the Chaos Destroyer, and his endurance quickly running out, he wasn't without a chance.
All this time, even while fighting the Chaos Destroyer, Maximus had been nurturing his physique, the Plane Source!
Like a missing piece to a puzzle, it was the only light Maximus could see that might tip the balance to his victory.
With the Myriad of Maxim, the Power of Will, and two Plane-Level Physiques, he would have the power to wound the Chaos Destroyer.
For now, Maximus could only rely on the beings of the Planar Chaos Region to supply him with power as he fought for time.
"Hmph! Stubborn creature! Let's see how long you can keep up this charade."

In the Central Chaos Region, with the Chaos Destroyer gone, silence fell over all beings.
However, instead of feeling relief, a heavier burden weighed on their hearts.
Their patron was still fighting for his life; the battle wasn't over yet.
While Maximus fought the tough battle, they too had duties to uphold.
Looking at the dark beast returning to attack them, there was no longer fear or despair, only resoluteness.
"Now, it's our turn to support the one who supported us before. Carry the burden, move forward with spirit, and fight with all our will!"
"The fight won't end until our Hero returns!"
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
Charging toward the dark beast, the Archons and Overlords alike intensified their attacks.
Every bit of myriad energy they could send to Maximus increased their chances of survival.
The others, with weaker strength, weren't idle either.
Knowing their belief and will could help, they began to create and educate one generation after another, imparting countless legends and raising Maximus' name to new heights.

Meanwhile, deep within the tide of dark beasts, Lazarus remained hidden, having long noticed the arrival of the Chaos Destroyer.
"I didn't expect its power to be stronger than I thought," Lazarus thought in shock, recalling the image of the Chaos Destroyer.
He felt that facing such a creature made even escaping impossible.
However, what surprised Lazarus more was that someone could keep up with it!
"Maximus Shadowcrest! What a monster! Is he even an entity born here?"
Mastering the Myriad of Laws had taken Lazarus an incalculable amount of time and effort, yet he still didn't fully succeed.
Yet Maximus did it so easily, in just a short amount of time at that.
Along with it, he even unified the Planar Chaos Region and promoted the power of will, causing a new revolution.
Feeling deeply inferior, Lazarus' mind began to fill with chaotic thoughts of destruction.
Fortunately, having mastered the power of the Origin Dark Beast for millions of years, he quickly calmed his mind.
"No matter. You can play with the Chaos Destroyer first. Once you're both weak and tired, I'll have my chance…" Lazarus thought deeply.
However, feeling his current strength, he chose not to wait idly. Instead, he turned his attention to the dark beasts around him.
Devouring one dark beast after another to strengthen his source of darkness, Lazarus decided not to stop until he wiped out all the Origin Dark Beasts around him.
It could be said that in this battle, whether good or evil, the dark beasts that once brought despair to everyone had now become their main source of power.
