Chapter 856: Partial Plane Will
Chapter 856: Partial Plane Will
Holding Eshka in his hand, Maximus turned toward Etheria, examining the aftermath of the Amalgamation of Will.
“Hmm? It mutated?”
“You noticed. This energy was really wild…” Etheria smiled wryly.
The Amalgamation of will, unlike the power of law and plane origin, was like a wild card.
Though strong, its effects were unpredictable.
Just moments ago, after giving birth to Eshka, under the overflowing will of countless beings, Etheria managed to replace a part of the Aeon Plane’s will!
From a dimensional will, Etheria began to evolve into the will of a plane!
This might be a mere transition, but unlike a dimensional physique transforming to plane level, there was no precedent for such a phenomenon.
In all the existence of the Planar Chaos Region, not a single plane was ruled by a conscious will.
This was different from a dimensional will becoming a plane master.
Instead, she was directly replacing the plane’s will!
Although Etheria’s integration with the Aeon Plane was only partial, it still shocked Maximus.
“It seems you’re going to usurp my throne in the future,” he teased.
“Isn’t it just like the past?” Etheria smiled, reminiscing.
Just as before, when Maximus became the dimensional master of the Etherium Realm, Etheria was the dimensional will.
“Haha, it seems this Amalgamation of Will is truly a miraculous power…” Maximus smiled with interest.
Turning the impossible into possible, though its direction was unknown, if he could master it, it might rival the power of myriad energy!
Unfortunately, as he looked closer at Etheria, his smile faded into a frown.
“Can you handle it?” Maximus asked with concern.
Peering into her mind, he saw the murmurs of countless beings, like a curse, constantly ringing in her head.
Though she had become the partial will of the Aeon Plane, she had no control over its power and could only passively accept it.
“I’m fine, don’t worry. I’m a dimensional will on the verge of becoming a plane will. How could this stump me?” Etheria said nonchalantly.
As a dimensional will, what hadn’t she experienced?
Weren’t these just the murmurs of seemingly endless beings? How was this different from before?
Though a bit distracting, with some focus, Etheria could live her daily life as normal.
“If you say so. But tell me if you encounter any problems later.”
“Alright…”
Having checked everything that needed checking, Maximus took Etheria and Eshka back to their home.
—
Etherium Realm, Shadowcrest Castle:
As soon as the three teleported inside, they were swarmed by the entire family.
“Is this our fifteenth child? How cute!”
“I thought it would be a fierce devil. Who knew it would be a fluffy little angel?”
“Little ancestor, come to my arms~”
As they chattered nonstop, Eshka became overwhelmed and burst into tears.
“Wahhh! Wahhh!”
Her cries seemed to cast a shadow of doom, making everyone’s power suddenly turbulent.
“This little ancestor…”
Feeling the power of doom cling to their bodies, a dark premonition flashed through their minds.
“Alright, baby, don’t cry. They’re just happy to see you,” Etheria comforted.
“Wah?”
Hearing her mother’s soothing voice, Eshka abruptly stopped, looking around.
Sensing the same affinity as her mother and father, Eshka giggled and reached out.
Hearing the laughter, they quickly come to their senses, looking at the little freak in Etheria’s hands.
“This little child… how powerful…”
Looking at Eshka, they couldn’t help but feel a complex wave of emotions.
They were already at the Overlord realm, having condensed the peak absolute of law. How could a mere child affect them?
“Mother, may I?” Unlike the others, Asha felt only boundless curiosity for her little sister.
“Here, take care of your sister.” Seeing it was Asha, Etheria readily handed over her child.
While Eshka was the child of misfortune and doom, Asha was the child of luck and destiny.
Though Eshka had a remarkable physique, Asha was stronger.
“Who’s the naughty baby?” Holding the little one, Asha couldn’t resist pinching her cheeks.
“Whaah—”
Just as Eshka was about to cry, a plug seemed to suddenly appear in her throat.
“Heh~ Crying is bad,” Asha teased.
Looking into her sister’s eyes, she knew Eshka was just acting spoiled.
With teary eyes, Eshka gave Asha a cute look.
“That doesn’t work on me~”
Although the power of doom could amplify one’s misfortune.
For Asha, who had nothing but luck, it was like trying to set an invulnerable rock ablaze.
“Bah~ Baah~ Bahh~”
“You want me to give you to Mother? No way!”
“Bah! Bah!”
Seeing cuteness and communication wouldn’t work; Eshka started to act up, smacking Asha’s shoulder, trying to escape the devil’s clutch.
“Nope~ From now on, you’ll be following this sister!” Asha didn’t know why, but she felt a close connection to Eshka.
Like her favourite doll, she couldn’t bear to put her down.
“Wahh!~” Turning toward her father and mother, Eshka sought help.
“Father, Mother, leave this cheeky baby to me.”
“Hmm, take care of your sister,” Maximus agreed with interest.
Having witnessed the power of doom, Maximus had initially felt helpless.
Yet, as soon as Asha held Eshka, her power seemed to vanish.
As if meeting its nemesis, the power of doom became a powerless mouse under the claws of a mighty cat.
Suppressing Eshka’s power of doom, the others finally had the chance to tease her.
Swarming Eshka, they began to tease her until she gave up.
Lying on her sister’s shoulder, she stared at the sky blankly.
Wasn’t everyone supposed to serve her?
Wasn’t she this family’s little ancestor, meant to be treated with utmost respect?
How dare they play with her like she was a doll?
What about those voices and promises from when she was in the dark?
Giving up, she let everyone play with her.
Meanwhile, as his family enjoyed little Eshka, Maximus turned his attention to the chaotic void.
“The formation of the dark beast tide has accelerated…”
Initially, the Aeon Plane had a few million years before it would be fully swarmed by the dark beasts.
But as soon as Eshka was born, the dark beasts seemed to receive a sudden boost, multiplying at an insane speed.
“The power of doom is truly fearsome…” Still, instead of worry, Maximus wore a broad smile.
Eshka’s appearance might be a curse to others, but to Maximus, his daughter was a guiding light sent to him.
With the power of the true path, everything around him was nothing but beneficial.
Last time, it was Nero who pushed him toward perfection in the Overlord realm.
Now, with Eshka… Maximus could only wonder what kind of divine assistance his daughter would bring.
