The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God-Chapter 749: Into the Heart of Disaster

Exiting through the gap in the void between the inner area of the Aeon Plane and the Dark Void Domain, Maximus let Wanderer take the ship toward the Skjǫldrún Stronghold.

Although the dark beast was still in the middle layer of the Dark Void Domain, it would only be a matter of time before they invaded the outer domain.

Upon arriving at the Skjǫldrún Stronghold, the powerhouses inside instantly recognized the ship.

"It's the Shadowcrest family!"

"They arrived so quickly. Did they anticipate the surge in dark beast activity?"

"It must be! This surge of dark beasts is different from before!"

Stepping out of the shadow void ship, they began greeting Maximus and his family.

"At ease. We're here this time to tell you to retreat," Maximus warned, then briefly explained the situation.

"The first wave of the dark beasts?!"

"We're at the forefront of the dark beast wave?!"

Listening to Maximus's explanation, they couldn't help but be shocked.

A little longer, and they might have been buried in the Dark Void Domain.

Although the Skjǫldrún Stronghold was known as a defensive bastion of the Aeon Plane, what they stood on was merely an imitation.

This was also why Maximus told them to return.

Unlike the modified void outposts created by the Absolutes and countless powerhouses, the Skjǫldrún Stronghold only had defensive capabilities.

In front of the dark disaster wave, its attack and auxiliary abilities were severely lacking.

Even the influence of the dark energy alone was enough to force these powerhouses out.

After warning them and sharing the entrance to the sub-void where the Etherium Realm Void Region was located, Maximus and his family continued their journey.

A few months later, the shadow void ship reached the edge of the middle layer of the Dark Void Domain.

"How dangerous do you think the dark disaster is, Father?" Max asked curiously.

Although he was eager to fight the dark beasts, hearing about their fearsome reputation still made him a little wary.

"Just turn on the virtual map and see for yourself," Maximus suggested.

Because they had gone to the Skjǫldrún Stronghold first, the Absolutes had arrived before them.

Curious, they asked Wanderer to open the virtual map projection.

To have better coordination, each void outpost was equipped with a top-tier 12 monitoring array, scanning a wide area.

As the virtual map projection appeared, their expressions turned to shock.

"How could this be?!"

"Is this the dark disaster?!"

"Too terrifying!"

Even just looking at the map, which had turned red due to the number of dark beasts, they couldn't help but turn pale.

It wasn't that the void dark outposts or the absolutes weren't killing enough.

In fact, in the projection, sections of dark beasts were being cleared every second.

But as each second passed, another wave would take their place.

Like an endless tide, it seemed they were engaged in a meaningless struggle.

Worse still, the projection showed dozens of tier-12 dark beasts scattered together with thousands of absolute-level primal dark beasts.

Just imagining they would soon face such a disaster made the fear grow in their hearts.

"Calm down," Maximus said, releasing a wave of Plane Origin over them.

It seemed the influence of the dark energy was worse than he expected.

Even at absolute level power, the negative thoughts in their hearts like fear and despair, were being amplified.

While the Plane Origin was taking effect, Maximus asked Wanderer to activate the maximum defense of the shadow void ship.

Freed from the influence of the dark energy, clarity quickly returned to their minds.

"What happened?"

"How could we be so afraid of the dark beasts?"

"Tsk, a bunch of bugs nearly scared me to death."

"The influence of the dark disaster is truly terrifying…"

As they calmed down, a solemn atmosphere settled over them.

The influence of dark energy was the first danger of the dark disaster.

With large numbers of dark beasts, the concentration of this energy would only increase.

Exposed to it without a strong will, even elites could become mindless beasts, attacking everything in sight.

"How do those powerhouses handle it, Father? Do the outposts also have such powerful defenses?"

Because they'd been focused on reinforcing the source of knowledge, they didn't know much about the development of the void outposts.

"Hmm, don't worry about them. As long as they're inside the void outposts, they don't have to fear the influence of the dark beasts," Maximus reassured them.

The greatest function of those void outposts wasn't to kill tier-12 dark beasts, but to serve as safe havens against the overwhelming numbers and corruption of the dark disaster.

As long as Maximus didn't fall and the Aeon Plane didn't collapse, they would be safe no matter what came.

Having a secure base was essential during a dark disaster.

Even the most powerful overlords would eventually get exhausted after battling endless waves of enemies.

Unaffected by the dark energy, they soon passed through the barrier separating the outer and middle layers of the Dark Void Domain.

Upon arrival, the roars of countless dark beasts began to echo all around.

"Wanderer, Eternal Voyager, don't engage for now. Turn on stealth mode."

Maximus's mission wasn't to fight the dark beasts, but to observe their movements and get a clearer picture of their strength.

Activating stealth, the roaring dark beasts lost their target and turned their attention back to the nearby void outposts, bursting with energy.

Once the shadow void ship's stealth system stabilized, Maximus told Wanderer to steer toward the core of the Dark Void Domain.

But as they got closer, a tier-12 dark beast appeared to sense their presence, circling the area, searching.

"Take aim and fire. Let's see the difference between a normal dark beast and a tier-12 one," Maximus ordered with interest.

Since this dark beast wouldn't let them pass, it could only become a subject for his experiment.

Controlling the ship's main gun, thousands of units of Plane Origin and countless strands of causality were quickly consumed.

Locking on the tier 12 dark beast, the shadow void ship fired.

Bang!
