The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God - #239 - 239 Crystal Merit Conversion
In Netherlux Mansion:
Maximus was in the bath, relaxing as he thought about his next plan.
Currently, Tintin is still in hibernation.
Maximus can only set his goal first, as he lacks precise information about the Abyss realm.
First is the crystal merits.
He needed to collect enough of them to be promoted to tier 8 and properly return to the Etherium Realm.
Second is the Abyss source.
He needs to gather as much of it as possible.
His freedom of system points depend on it.
Third is merging various domains and special physiques to return to the Etherium Realm discreetly.
For now, these three are his immediate goals.
After listing his goals, he turned his attention to the crystal merit.
Earlier, when Maximus got his hands on it, he felt a unique kind of fluctuation.
Without opening his domain, he couldn’t investigate it deeply, so he didn’t bother to study it earlier.
Now, looking at the unique piece of crystal in front of him, Maximus was lost in his thoughts.
Scanning with his system, it only gave a brief description.
[Crystal Merit: Crystallized purified Abyss origin.]
Without an in-depth explanation.
Maximus could only spread his domain and deeply study the crystal merit in his hand.
Indeed, like the description, the merit is like the Etherium Realm World’s Origin Energy in crystallized form.
However, the crystalized Abyss Origin is of a higher tier.
If Etherium Origin Energy had over a thousand strands of particles.
Then Abyss Origin Energy had over a hundred thousand of them.
This should be why one can quickly be promoted without worrying about the lack of foundation.
Usually, no matter the intensity and pureness of energy, it still needs to be absorbed and processed.
However, with Crystal Merits and the help of Etherium Realm World’s origin, everything works like a miracle.
Maximus then tried to absorb the crystal merits and was a little shocked.
Using his Origin Domain, he easily absorbed the Crystallized merit.
It seemed to melt in his body like water.
Thinking about its further implications, Maximus couldn’t help but be excited.
Originally, Maximus was still worried that his weirdness would be exposed.
Once he got out, he needed the help of the World Origin to absorb the crystal merit and advance to tier 8.
Given his current state, the crystal merit he needed is enormous.
It is almost comparable to the promotion needed from tier 8 realm to tier 9.
Now that he can absorb crystal merit on his own.
He can have more maneuverability and better hide his secret.
Suddenly, a wild thought came to him.
Since he can absorb crystal merit, can he also create it?
“It seems possible,” Maximus concluded after a bit of thought.
With his system that can easily absorb all kinds of energy and his Origin domain, his idea had a huge chance of feasibility.
Now, he only needs to know how the World Origin converts Abyss Origin to crystal merit.
While Maximus was in the bath, thinking of how to study how the World Origin converts abyss origin to crystal merit,
Skye confidently came in without wearing any clothes.
“Can I join in?” Skye asked.
“Sure,” Maximus also didn’t react as if it was normal.
Every strand, cell, and particle of Skye’s body was already imprinted in his mind.
So what’s the shame of seeing her in a birthday suit?
As the saying goes, physical appearance is just a manifestation of mortal desire.
With his current power, he can construct the most beautiful physical body according to his taste.
However, such a boring thing, of course, was not in his interest.
What he cared more about was the unique personality, the purity of the soul, and the will to do things.
Physical appearance and the system points are just bonus additions.
“What’s your plan next?” Skye asked, confidently sitting next to him.
“Hmm, fight and kill abyss monsters, I guess?” Maximus thought and said.
“Then wait for the annual trade three months later,” he added
“Oh~ Finally, some blood.” Skye licked her lips.
Abyss is really her favorite training place.
She can fight and kill to her heart’s content without worrying about casualties and destruction.
Soon, the two finished bathing and went to sleep or meditate.
Throughout the bath, they only flirted, barely touching each other’s skin.
Maximus was also patient, enjoying the process.
…
The next day:
Maximus and Skye geared up, ready for their first day of battle.
Walking to the gate, the guard greeted them with a smile.
“Newcomers?”
Their appearance was already well-known in the end town.
As it only had tens of thousands of people, all of them basically knew each other.
The reason the guard is so polite is because of Maximus’ arrogance.
Renting one of the most expensive residences in the End Town without blinking an eye.
Maximus can be said to be super rich and powerful.
“Yes,” Maximus and Skye nodded.
“Have you gotten a Crystal Merit Converter?”
“Hmm.”
After registering their residence in the outpost headquarters, they were given a Crystal Merit Converter.
It was the portable device, blessed by the Etherium World Origin, to convert abyss origin to crystal merits.
“Then you are free to go. Be careful out there.”
…
Walking out of the outpost exit,
They were greeted by a dazzling barrier that kept abyss monsters kilometers away.
With Maximus’s eyesight, he noticed a large cluster of abyss monsters banging the barrier and being disintegrated by it.
The other people who just got out were also nonchalant, as if it was a norm.
“Do you want to go together or separate?” Skye asked.
“Separate,” Maximus answered without thinking.
Although he wants to flirt more with Skye, fighting is fighting, and you can’t get distracted.
Skye also agreed on this.
Being together is fun and a little safer, but their harvest may not be much.
Skye can’t also unleash all of her strength with others around her.
“Alright.”
As they got near the barrier, the abyss monsters seemed to smell some meat and became more ballistic.
Fortunately, they were only low-tier cannon fodder abyss monsters.
Releasing a little pressure, the abyss monster around a few kilometers was crushed into a pulp.
Taking out the crystal merit converter, an energy beam came out, condensing and purifying abyss origin energy until it crystallized.
“A few thousand?” Maximus calculated, counting his harvest.
“It’s as usual. If you want to earn big, you can kill high-tier abyss monsters,” Skye said, seeing Maximus not satisfied with what he got.
“I know.”
“Oh~ Then let’s see each other again later!” Skye just nodded and flew out, choosing her destination.
Maximus, on the other hand, frowned.
He felt that not all the abyss origin was converted into crystal merits.
“I wonder how it is created,” Maximus thought as he played with a Crystal Merit in his hand.
“I’ll know after killing some more…”
…
A month later:
“Finally, I got a glimpse of it!” Maximus muttered excitedly.
This month, besides fighting abyss monsters.
He observed and studied how the World Origin converts crystal merits.
After a long time, he finally got a glimpse of it.
Looking at his system, he couldn’t help but smile.
[Crystal Merit Conversion: Initial (0/1 trillion)]
More importantly, it’s not expensive to upgrade, unlike the Amalgamation of Will and his special physique.
Furthermore, the system points he saved for three years, hoping to create the follow-up cultivation manual for his tier 7 guild members to entice them to the abyss, are still not spent.
Meaning, he still had over 5 trillion system points!
Tapping on his system, he quickly put system points to Crystal Merit Conversion.
[1 trillion life points…]
[Crystal Merit Conversion: Proficient (0/2 trillion)]
[2 trillion life points…]
[Crystal Merit Conversion: Expert (0/4 trillion)]
Soon, a rush of knowledge was quickly transmitted into his mind.
With the activation of the quantum body and various other mind acceleration domains and unawakened physique,
Maximus processed the newly transmitted information in just a few minutes.
“Huh~”
Although such a huge amount of information was overwhelming, it was also satisfying to learn everything quickly.
Then he tried condensing a crystal merit from the abyss monster that he just killed.
Looking at the crystal merit that he had just condensed, a smile appeared on his face.
“Equivalent to 7 crystal merits,” Maximus estimated, feeling the magnitude of energy within the crystal.
“It seems that the world origin is indeed cheating,” Maximus smiled wryly.
Usually, the cannon fodder that he just killed is only about zero point something.
However, after he converted it himself.
Even with most of the abyss origin dissipating, he got the equivalent of 7 crystal merits.
Meaning that most of the energy converted by the world’s origin is eaten by it.
It only leaves them some scraps and residue, like feeding a dog to continue fighting.
Of course, he also understands this.
The Etherium Realm World Origin only instinctively did this to better itself and fight, or at least slow the abyss realm.
Even then, thinking of all the abyss monsters he killed during the month and only earning a few million crystal credits.
He couldn’t help but feel at a loss.
“But now there is no need to make the world origin a middleman,” Maximus smiled at such a thought.
Although most of the Abyss Origin is wasted because he only had Expert mastery, it’s still better than being robbed by the world’s origin.
