Ten years later…
Hundreds of Absolutes and thousands of Masters of the Ocean of Law arrived at the Skjǫldrún Stronghold.
"Is this the replica of the Skjǫldrún? As expected, it can easily resist a dark beast wave this strong!" Marcus, the Absolute of Chaos, the strongest Absolute, and the founder of the Ashura Sect, muttered with interest.
"It should not be that strong; it must be the massive supply of energy keeping the barrier intact," Weis, the Absolute of Alchemy and the founder of the Alchemy Alliance, deduced.
"Look at the chanical weapons. Tsk, tsk, they’re comparable to the Dinsional Blaster! I wonder which genius created these?" Atreus, the Absolute of chanics and the leader of the chanical Alliance, said in admiration.
"Stop dawdling. Let’s go inside first," Reed, the Absolute of Ti and the strongest lone Absolute, urged impatiently.
Not delaying any longer, they blasted the dark beasts before them, clearing a large patch of void as they leisurely landed in the stronghold.
"It’s the Absolutes! They are here!"
"Finally, the reinforcents have arrived! We survived!"
Looking on in admiration, they felt the darkness in their sight clearing away.
After another ten years, the dark beast wave had already reached a magnitude of 8.
With such a concentration of dark beasts, besides the Masters of the Ocean of Law, no one could deal any damage.
If not for the impenetrable barrier of the stronghold, they might have long been buried in the void.
Seeing the reinforcents arrive, it was as if they were given another lease on life.
"Welco to the Skjǫldrún Stronghold. I didn’t expect you to arrive so quickly," Lennox greeted with a smile.
"With such a party, how could we be missing?" Marcus said with thick fighting intent.
Rembering the Dark Disaster they faced in the past, he couldn’t help but look forward to the chaos.
Perhaps this could be his chance to beco an Overlord.
"Alright, enough chit-chat. Take us to the leader of this stronghold. We want to recommission it," Reed said impatiently.
Dragged here against his will, Reed wanted to end this farce as quickly as possible.
Recommissioning the stronghold would allow them to go deep into the dark void domain without worry.
These tier 10 dark beasts in the outer area were not their priority.
Leaving the thousands of Masters of the Ocean of Law and a few Absolutes should be enough to fully defend this place.
"Recommission the stronghold? I don’t think that’s possible."
"Hmm? Who are you?"
Seeing the man beside Lennox, they asked in question.
"I’m the leader of the Skjǫldrún Stronghold, Liam."
"So it’s you. Hurry and give us control of the stronghold."
"I don’t think that’s possible…" Liam still shook his head.
"What do you an?" Reed frowned, releasing pressure on Liam.
The other Absolutes also felt disrespected, looking at Liam coldly.
They were here to clear the dark beast wave, not to babysit these prodigies.
"I don’t an disrespect. I’m just telling you that it’s impossible for anyone besides the Shadowcrest family to take control of the stronghold."
"You?!"
Feeling the pressure from all sides, Liam remained unmoved.
These Absolutes still hadn’t registered with the stronghold.
According to the stronghold protection chanism, they were treated the sa as the dark beasts.
This ant that even if they attacked him, they would first have to face the stronghold barrier.
Dubbed the strongest defensive architecture, even as a replica, the stronghold should be able to withstand a few of their attacks without any problem.
"Shadowcrest family?"
Different from the others, hearing the word Shadocrest Family, most of the Absolutes from the Dinsional Alliance felt enlightened.
"So that’s it! Are you the son of Maximus Shadowcrest?"
Weis, who had been wondering where the massive energy protecting the stronghold from the dark beast invasion was coming from, also thought of the reason.
"Yes…"
"It’s you, hahaha. Then you can just take care of the stronghold!"
With Maximus behind him, it was better for Liam to remain the stronghold leader.
Who knew if Maximus would still take care of the stronghold’s defense once another beca the leader?
For such a useless title, they didn’t dare to offend such a man.
"What about those chanical cannons? Who created them? Can you tell ?" Atreus asked in excitent.
Since Liam was the leader of the stronghold, he should know the creator of those chanical cannons.
Seeing them in action firsthand, he felt amazed.
From the structure, he knew they could easily be mass-produced.
With such a breakthrough in chanical weaponry, Atreus couldn’t help but feel excited.
"It’s my father. Why?"
"Your father?! Is he also the one who created that unique runic language? Can you take to him?"
Such a unique runic language—much less Atreus, even Weis beside him felt interested.
With just a glance, they could see the endless energy flowing through the runes.
"Sure, I’ll organize a banquet to accommodate all of you." Liam smiled without much pressure.
anwhile, the others who were still dissatisfied with Liam had already fallen silent.
With the reaction of the Absolutes from the Dinsional Alliance, how could they still act rashly?
Asking for more information, they also ca to understand the unique prestige this so-called Shadowcrest family held.
Hearing that the founder of the Shadowcrest family, Maximus Shadowcrest, possessed the Holy Physique and Dinsion Source, they felt dumbfounded, then excited.
As the top powers of the Aeon Plane, they knew the importance of energy.
Being able to control the inexhaustible energy of the Aeon Plane—not to ntion resisting the dark beasts, just helping them advance to the peak, the Overlord realm was beyond valuable!
As long as Maximus grew a little stronger, their chances of advancing would also skyrocket.
Looking at Liam, their gazes softened, searching for an opportunity to get closer.
Reed, who had questioned Liam harshly, also quickly apologized.
"I’m sorry for my ignorance. It seems the stronghold is better in your hands…" Reed said sincerely.
Although second only to Marcus in strength, Reed’s thirst for advancent was the greatest.
To reach the Absolute realm, he could do anything.
Whether it ant becoming the most hated man or facing the wrath of the Overlords, he didn’t care nor fear anyone.

In the face of an opportunity, he could disregard anything, much less a useless pride and superiority.
"It’s nothing…" Liam nodded, not taking it to heart.
"Let’s go. I’m sure you’re tired from your journey. Let the Skjǫldrún Stronghold entertain you for a while."
