The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

Chapter 279 Abyss Monarch

?Tick~

Tick~

Tick~

Looking at the countdown before them, they felt a sword hanging over their heads.

If they join the Shadow Hunter Guild, their future will be secure.

No need to think anymore; they just needed to work hard.

Not joining the guild meant they could get away with their money.

Following that, they needed to work for the rest of the crystal merits for their advancement.

They had to cross nine circles of hell to have a chance to be promoted to tier 8.

Thousands of years of impending uncertainty, fighting life-and-death battles just to succeed.

Tick~

As the countdown fell to zero, their hearts seemed to stop as they unconsciously tapped to join the guild.

Pack~

Pack~

Pack~

Looking at the 100 percent click rate, Yve couldn't help but clap in excitement.

This is a massive guild contribution points!

"Tsk, fooling newcomers is indeed profitable," Yve thought inwardly.

Looking at the gloomy crowd without excitement, Yve couldn't help but cheer them.

"Alright! Don't be too gloomy,"

"The stronghold is already finished, so there should not be much work!" Yve explained.

Truthfully, the Shadow Hunter Guild is not really black.

It's up to you to work hard.

If you want to earn more, then you have to put in more work.

If you want less, then you can be lazy.

If you're a genius or have some unique talent, then you can have both.

Like the stage set before him, as a master of psychology, the pressure this newcomer faced was in his plan.

The solicitation of one of their own, his persuasion, and finally, the heart-wrenching countdown.

Using his specialty, he already fooled many newcomers for the guild, thus earning him many guild contribution points.

Looking at these cute newcomers, he couldn't help but shoo them quickly and welcome the next batch.

"Alright, stand up and rest; we will go to the purgatory layer. Next, you need to be ready."

"As for your payment, you can get it at the bank."

...

Kelvin walked out of the Guild headquarters like a dead man with no purpose.

He was still reminiscing about whether his choice was right or wrong.

Walking to the bank, he quickly cashed his salary and returned to his residence.

Inside, looking at the mountain pile of crystal merits, the gloominess from before was replaced with a smile.

Lying on the hard rock crystal, he felt like he was dreaming.

This is his hard work for decades!

This pile of stones that can give him billions of years more life!

This is a drug that can keep many fighting, even to death!

"So what if I work hard?!" Kelvin screamed inwardly.

...

Soon, a few days passed, and a heaven-defying operation unfolded.

Under various tricks and temptations, a weird scene was staged.

Of the ten million individuals sent by various guilds and organizations, only a few thousand remained.

This operation went unnoticed until the remaining thousand reported what happened to their guilds.

...

In an unknown place:

The guilds and organizations that sent manpower to Maximus were in a gathering.

"Damn! That unscrupulous, evil-hearted man is indeed hateful," one of them couldn't help but complain, using all the bad words he could think of.

Hundreds of thousands of manpower just vanished in an instant; who wouldn't be angry?

Various industries under their care were already in shambles due to the lack of manpower.

Previously, they could still rely on splurging with money to fill this hole.

They thought of sacrificing a bit for a huge profit in the future.

Who knew that they shot themselves in the foot and earned nothing?

How could they still plug their industry with money, knowing it would never be filled?

Isn't that a fool's errand?

As for the resources they would get with the departure of Maximus.

How could they still have the energy to do that without manpower?

"This Maximus is indeed insidious..." one just shook their head with a sigh.

They were only a bunch of second-rate and third-rate organizations.

Their backers were only one or two apex sovereigns who had recently advanced.

It was nothing in front of Maximus, who dared to fight with the top powers in the Abyss realm.

Furthermore, what Maximus did was legitimate; he didn't use violence or anything of the sort.

Maximus only used an atomic bomb called money.

If they wanted, they could also perform such a mind-boggling operation and part with some money.

Unfortunately, they didn't have it, as that evil being corrupted them from it.

Now, their warehouse is filled with all kinds of rare resources, waiting for manpower to use and build some money-making ventures.

Sadly, the manpower they were waiting for never returned.

Thinking of it, they couldn't help but grit their teeth, wanting to launch a war with the Shadow Hunter Guild.

"Do you think we have a chance?" one of them asked knowingly.

"Damn, that evil being have a dimensional merchant backer!"

Thinking of the dimensional weapon that can seal their throat, the idea that was just budding extinguished.

They thought that the dimensional merchant provided the heaven-defying weapon as a guarantee to protect Maximus.

"So there is nothing we can do?"

"We can just swallow our loss..."

They could only sigh in helplessness.

...

In the Shadow Hunter outpost:

After a month of preparation, the stronghold was finally ready to fly to the Purgatory layer.

"Eternal Voyager set sail!" Maximus muttered.

[Eternal Voyager: As ordered, host!]

[Stealth activating...]

Soon, the stronghold barrier dimmed as the stealth capabilities activated.

[Deactivating outside support facilities...]

Various contraptions and aesthetics on the side of the stronghold curled up.

[Energy activation...]

The stronghold core began to work in overdrive, absorbing the abyss aura and converting it into its energy.

Magic crystals on the side also began to dissipate, providing more energy.

[Checking for vulnerabilities... none]

[Transmission in process...]

[Please select a direction...]

A rough map appeared in front of him, marking each layer and dangerous areas.

"Target... Purgatory layer."

...

In the Depths of the Source Layer:

A majestic abyss architecture stood tall, like a natural world formation.

Below were countless elite and lord-level abyss beings, training and interacting like a civilization.

"Commander... $%#&29 disappeared," a lowly elite-level abyss monster reported to his commander, a lord-level abyss monster.

"$%#&29 disappeared? Was it destroyed?" The lord-level abyss monster muttered.

However, it seems that the elite-level abyss monster didn't have enough intelligence and just stood in a daze.

Seeing his subordinate standing stupidly, the lord-level abyss monster hurled in anger and blew it up.

"Useless..."

Tapping on a weird quartz, the lord-level abyss monster quickly borrowed a bit of power from the abyss and checked $%#&29 before it disappeared.

"Weird..." The lord-level abyss monster scratched its head in irritation.

$%#&29 seemed to disappear out of thin air without being destroyed by the abyss.

"Tsk, what bothersome beings..." The lord-level abyss monster complained as he couldn't think of a solution.

With no other choice, the lord abyss monster flew up to the top of the majestic castle, the home of the monarchs.

...

In the Monarch's Castle:

Four monarch-level abyss beings were sitting in a circle, discussing someone.

"How is it? Did you find that vermin?" Nyxalos, one of the abyss monarchs who possessed the power of nether, asked.

"No, that vermin was too cunning. After destroying one of our army camps, he will quickly hide," Drekthar, the monarch of earth and fire, couldn't help but complain.

What they were talking about was Malgron, the vermin that appeared countless epochs ago.

Initially, they were on an easy mission devouring a tier 9 dimension when suddenly a lunatic came to them.

Killing and destroying, that vermin called Malgron went on a rampage as soon as he arrived in the abyss.

At first, they didn't care about this.

So what if Malgron went on a rampage and destroyed a part of the abyss?

Just a little energy from the void was enough to recover it.

Who knew they were hugely mistaken?

That vermin seemed to be bored with destroying alone.

He went to look for some 'high-quality prey,' damaging their interests.

This was their army to devour a tier 9 dimension.

They couldn't just sit and let it be killed.

With fury, one of the five monarchs, Shadrik, went to find and kill this anomaly.

Unfortunately, it seems that they severely underestimated that lunatic.

After sleeping for a few million years, they hoped to receive good news.

However, what they received terrified them.

Shadrik, the monarch of Frost, died without escaping.

How could a lowly being with puny tier 9 strength kill one of them?

Mobilizing their 'ship,' the abyss realm, they learned that this vermin they didn't bother with at the start was an all-out genius.

Possessing an ultimate physique and ultimate technique, even two monarchs were no match for him.

Fortunately, there were four of them remaining.

Killing such a vermin should be easy.

Who knew that this vermin was quite slick at hiding?

Even before they set up an ambush, this vermin seemed to have a terrifying sixth sense of the future and escaped ahead of time.

Even if they mobilize the whole abyss realm, they can't trap or even stall this vermin for them to kill.

Until now, countless epochs later, exhausting countless methods, they still had no progress.

They can only hope to swallow that damn tier 9 dimension sooner to show this vermin some color.
