Ignoring the crowd and Zar, Maximus quickly made his way to his family.
"Husband!"
"Maximus!"
"Father!"
"Grandfather!"
Hearing their voices, seeing them safe and stronger than ever, Maximus heaved a sigh of relief.
Despite only a thousand years passing outside, countless epochs had elapsed for them within the trial.
He could endure it, but he didn't know if they could.
Seeing them energetic and unhard, Maximus couldn't help but smile warmly.
After a brief reunion and inquiring about their well-being, his children quickly explained the situation.
"Hmm? That guy defeated Paragon?"
Looking at Zar, still staring at him with burning intensity, Maximus felt intrigued.
Over a hundred thousand tis amplification, yet Zar stood as if it was nothing.
Even Maximus could only sustain such a state for a dozen seconds at most.
"Interested now?" Zar grinned.
For the strong, the chance to fight another powerful opponent was irresistible.
Unless one lacked confidence or courage, no one would back down from such a confrontation.
"Dad, let the world see why you're called the Supre Primordial Candidate!" Max clenched his fists excitedly.
The rest of his family also cheered, eager to witness how far their father's strength had grown.
As for losing? That thought never crossed their minds.
To them, Maximus was invincible.
From childhood to the present, they had never seen their father defeated by anyone in the sa realm.
Looking at their eyes brimming with admiration, Maximus couldn't bring himself to refuse.
"Then watch beat the bad guys…"
Striding toward the arena, the crowd from the Dinsional Alliance and the Devourer Faction parted silently.
Passing by Paragon, Maximus paused.
"Be careful. He's strong," Paragon warned.
"Is that so?"
Jumping into the arena, he faced Zar, whose power remained amplified over a hundred thousand tis.
"Your body is strong," Maximus remarked casually.
"Catch my fist first!"
Without further words, Zar lunged, his fist hurtling toward Maximus at full force.
Thud!
Catching the punch effortlessly, Maximus smiled.
"It's impolite to attack soone while they're speaking."
Watching the scene, the crowd gasped.
This very punch—powerful enough to overwhelm Paragon, their forr No. 1 prodigy—had been stopped as if it were nothing.
Feeling provoked, Zar twisted his body, aiming to land a kick.
Unfortunately for him, Maximus didn't budge.
Like an immovable iron wall, he caught Zar's leg with ease.
"What an impolite cub,"
Muttering the words, his power was instantly amplified a million tis, hurdling Zar to the ground.
Boom!
The impact created a massive, seemingly endless ravine.
The crowd fell silent, suffocated by the sheer pressure of what they had just witnessed.
"This—"
For just a tenth of a second, Maximus's attack felt like an Absolute's.
Though brief, it was enough to make their hearts stop.
Even Nyx and Sira, who were initially uninterested in the fight, turned their attention to the scene.
"Not bad…" Maximus murmured, feeling satisfied with his control.
His contract with the Supre Law of Origin allowed him unparalleled mastery over his Origin Explosion technique.
In the past, while he could instantly switch between his normal state and explosion state, there was still a delay of a few seconds.
Furthermore, the greater the power amplification, the longer the preparation required.
But now, his mastery had reached a new peak.
After forming his contract, Maximus could now control his million-tis amplified state, switching it on and off in just a tenth of a second.
With about three seconds before his core of origin would reach its breaking point, Maximus could unleash the sa devastating attack up to 30 tis.
After a long silence, Zar slowly stood up, wiping the blood off his face.
"You're good~."
This ti, Zar finally got serious.
Unlike Paragon, Maximus didn't just counter Zar—he suppressed him in strength, the one thing Zar took the most pride in.
"Co on, I'll entertain you a while longer,"
"Heh, then you have my thanks…"
As Zar walked toward Maximus, his power began to soar exponentially.
From the previous hundred-thousand-tis amplification to two hundred thousand, then three hundred thousand—Zar's strength seed to have no limit.
"Just how strong is your core of origin?" Maximus thought in fascination.
Maintaining such a power boost without any visible weakness or damage amazed him.
The potential in Zar's body seed imasurable.
It was like an Overlord's body, capable of absorbing limitless power, as though pouring a bottle of water into a dam the size of an ocean.
As Zar reached Maximus at arm's length, his power peaked at a staggering million tis amplification.
Without tricks or hesitation, Zar stretched out his hand, aiming to land a single, decisive punch.
"NOW DIE!"
"As do you,"
Not backing down, Maximus also clenched his fist, throwing a punch to et Zar's.
BOOOOM!
With a clash of their fist, an explosion of energy instantly rippled across the arena.
As the shockwave spread, everything in its path began to disintegrate, ceasing into existence.
"Not good!"
Feeling the crushing pressure of death, the crowd began to panic.
No one had expected watching a fight between Tier 10 individuals could be deadly.
Though this was the Virtual Realm, the sense of looming death was far from false.

Desperately trying to escape, the crowd watched in horror as the wave of energy advanced, ready to pulverize them.
"Noooooo!"
Just as they scread in despair, a massive hand appeared, encapsulating the destructive energy and halting it in its tracks.
As the chaos subsided, the crowd, trembling and gasping in fear, turned their gaze toward the source.
Standing there was a figure they all recognized: Elvian Nexus, the Overlord of Virtuality.
"It's the Virtual Overlord! We're safe!"
anwhile, Maximus and Zar remained locked in place, their fists still connected, their eyes gleaming with mutual respect and intent.
Before Zar could attack again, an invisible force restrained him, binding him in place.
"Now, now. I can't allow further chaos in my territory."
"It's you! Elvian Nexus! Let go of !" Zar growled, struggling against the invisible hand.
Unperturbed by Zar's protests, Elvian turned toward Maximus with scrutiny.
"It's ti we formally et; I'm Elvian Nexus, Overlord of the Virtual Realm."
"Maximus Shadowcrest." He simply said.
"You bastard! Let go! I'm not done fighting!"
"Do you still want to continue?" Elvian ignored him, turning to Maximus.
"No. I think I've already shown enough…"
