Chapter 898: The Power of Will
Chapter 898: The Power of Will
In the Endless Chaos, Maximus, who was fighting the Chaos Destroyer, was on the verge of defeat.
Receiving attack after attack, his body and origin kept breaking apart.
If not for the endless energy produced by his physique and sent by the beings of the planar chaos region, he would have been doomed long ago.
“Is it really over for me?”
“Haha. Die! Die! Die!”
Feeling its surging strength as it continued to fight Maximus, the Chaos Destroyer knew victory was near.
Continuing its rampage, it slowly eroded Maximus’ power.
Feeling pain all over his body as the never-ending attacks kept coming, Maximus felt his consciousness about to fade.
“No! Never give up! I can kill this beast!”
Forgetting even his reason to fight, Maximus only knew he had to kill the Chaos Destroyer before him.

Meanwhile, in the Central Chaos Region, after hearing the news from the Shadowcrest Family, every Archon began to panic.
Though it seemed like a prosperous time had come, it was nothing more than a floating sandcastle.
Once Maximus failed, they would all go down with him.
Helping the Shadowcrest Family come up with a solution, they began using the power of will to try all kinds of methods on Lazarus.
Lazarus, who had transformed into a dark beast, was like a miniature version of the Chaos Destroyer.
With the same invincible power, path of destruction, and seemingly immortal body, they thought a method that could work on him would also be effective on the Chaos Destroyer.
Concentrating, they delved deeper into the power of will.
Although they didn’t know how the Shadowcrest Family would relay their results if they succeeded, they had no time to worry about that now.
Though their connection to Maximus wasn’t as close, holding the same thread of fate of destruction, they slowly felt it was about to snap.
Pressed for time, they even let go of all the dark beasts, letting them attack the barrier as they concentrated on experimenting with the power of will.
However, failure after failure, no matter what they did, it was ineffective.
Lazarus seemed truly invincible, immortal, and unable to be killed by anything.
Feeling despair as the shadow of doom approached, even the unaware beings from all planes began to sense something was wrong.
Hearing the news that their Hero was about to be defeated, they refused to accept it.
Though despair filled their hearts, they clung to their belief like a flicker of hope in the darkness.
“We will not lose! Our Hero will win!”
“We will not lose! Our Hero will win!”
“We will not lose! Our Hero will win!”
As the chant spread, more and more voices joined in, infecting others with their determination.
Hearing the resounding chant of belief, all distances, the void, and all obstacles seemed to vanish, as a raging fire ignited in everyone’s hearts.
Whether mortal, noble, star, or mighty powerhouse, they looked to the sky and chanted.
Chanting their belief and will until their voices grew hoarse, it seemed their collective force finally reached the Archons, who were delving into the power of will.
“The Power of Pill! The Power of Will! It’s not an individual power, but a unity of everyone’s belief!”
“Hahaha, I got it! The power of will is not just one, but everyone.”
“I see, I see!”
Enlightened, the Archons exchanged knowing glances.
United by the same belief and will, they combined their powers into one, molding it into an unstoppable attack against the seemingly unkillable Lazarus!
BOOM~
Incinerated by the combined power of will from all beings in the planar chaos region, Lazarus’ recovery power seemed to fail.
Little by little, his dark beast body began to collapse, vanishing from existence.
Soon, looking at the serene scene before them, everyone was dumbfounded.
Although they knew the combined power of will was strong, it had never been this earth-shattering.
Lazarus, whom they had tried to kill countless times, just died silently before they could even react? Is this the true power of will?
After the shock, joy followed.
If this worked with Lazarus, then could it also defeat the Chaos Destroyer?
Even if it’s not entirely effective, it should be enough to repel it.
“Quickly! Relay the information to Maximus!” Tiara said, turning to the Shadowcrest family.
“We… we can’t…” they suddenly said.
“What do you mean?!”
Panicking, their initial joy quickly turned to worry.
“Normally, we could easily contact our husband with just a thought, but when we tried now, there was no response…”
“No response? Does that mean he—”
“No! My father is still alive and fighting!” Eshka yelled, defending him.
“Then what happened?”
“We don’t know. It seems the power of the Chaos Destroyer got stronger, or there’s some interference on the battlefield preventing us from sending a message.”
“This—what do we do now?”
Unable to reach Maximus, they began to feel despair.
If they had to deliver the message personally, they would need to enter the endless chaotic void.
After so long, they felt the fluctuation of the battle growing fainter, meaning the distance between them was increasing.
No matter how fast they were, the way things were going, it would be too late before they could deliver the message.
“No, there’s one thing we can do,” Etheria, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.
“What is it? What can we do?” the others asked urgently.
“It’s the power of will. As the pioneer of will, as long as the traction is strong enough, it should be able to reach him…” Etheria muttered with a light in her eyes.
The power of will is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. Coupled with its connection to Maximus, as long as they release a strong enough wave of its power, it should reach him.
“The power of will?”
Suddenly, as if struck by thunder, everyone quickly understood what she meant.
Unite the power of will, relay the message to Maximus with their firm belief.
“We hope for our Hero to return… We hope for our Hero to win…”
Slowly chanting, as if singing a chorus, everyone’s voices slowly united as one.
Forming a massive tide of will, it began to radiate faster and faster, propagating into the endless void!
“We hope for our Hero to return… We hope for our Hero to win…”
