The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God - Chapter 634 The Coup, Etheric Order
Filled with shock at their discovery, they couldn’t wait to band together and confront Liam.
“Leader! Did your father possess the legendary Holy Physique, Dimensional Source?”
Looking fearfully, they clenched their fists as if ready to attack Liam if they didn’t hear a satisfactory answer.
“You dare to band against me?” Liam muttered in amusement.
He never thought one day he would face a coup.
Looking at the group controlled by their anger and greed, Liam could only blame the dark energy for amplifying their desires.
“Leader, tell us clearly—is this rumor true?!”
“Yes…”
“What?! It’s true?!”
“The Shadowcrest family really possesses the Holy Physique!”
“I see! I see now—everything makes sense!”
From the talents from the Devourer Faction to the Dimensional Alliance, all of them were shocked.
They didn’t expect the Shadowcrest family to really have someone with this fabled physique:
The ability to produce limitless energy.
From origin energy to strands of causality, those who possessed such a physique could be infinitely richer—or at least, that was their thought.
Thinking they exchanged over a hundred billion crystallized causality in just a few thousand years, they couldn’t imagine how much more wealth they possessed.
Suddenly, they also thought the dark beast they painstakingly killed was exchanged for such resources.
Breathing heavily, they looked at Liam with red eyes.
The slightest dark energy in their bodies seemed to erupt, consuming them with greed.
“You—how dare you defraud us of our money?!”
“You already possess the Holy Physique of the Aeon Plane; couldn’t you just help us?”
“As a fellow being of the Aeon Plane fighting the Dark Disaster, instead of helping, you still have the guts to exploit us?!”
“How dare you… How dare you!!!”
“Arghhh!!!”
With the Dark Energy eating away their reason, they brandished their weapons, attacking Liam in anger.
“Interesting! Really interesting!” Liam laughed with cold eyes.
Watching a hail of attacks about to fall on him, he began to mobilize his physique and path of law.
Looking coldly at the crowd, he muttered, “Kneel!”
With an order, the space seemed to shake as almost all the crowd knelt.
“This—”
Feeling the suppressive power preventing them from moving, most of them sobered up.
“What is this power?!”
“I-is this the strength of the Shadowcrest family?”
However, some who were deeply influenced by dark energy were still struggling, looking at Liam like he was their mortal enemy.
“Arghh! Let us go, you greedy monster! I’ll kill you!”
“Let go!”
“Silence~”
With another order, their mouths were sealed shut.
Looking at Liam with bulging eyes, they couldn’t move or say anything.
“Now that’s better.” Liam smiled slightly.
After multiple enhancements, his ultimate physique went from Etheric Echo to Etheric Order.
Coupled with the advancement of his path of law to the Ocean of Law, most of the mob could be suppressed with his word alone.
As for those top talents, they were on the sidelines quietly watching the show.
Too rich to feel the greed of the poor, they only felt excitement hearing that the Shadowcrest family had someone possessing such a legendary physique.
Fully sober and uninfluenced by the dark energy, they knew their own weight.
Remembering Maximus, who possessed the Holy Physique and could go toe-to-toe with Zar, how could they use numbers to force him to do something?
As for those primordial candidates of the Dimensional Alliance, they had long known about this information.
They even had a floor of their own in the Tower of Knowledge, bought by their families and sects.
Instead of joining the fray, trying to get something for nothing, they preferred to brag about these secret prodigies.
“Hehe, you don’t know the feeling of cultivating with unlimited origin energy~,” Otto laughed, looking condescendingly at the man before him.
“Don’t brag! You’re just a first mover! Once this competition is over, I’ll ask my family to negotiate with Maximus,” George Lockhart muttered, unconvinced.
If the Sterling family was the richest family in the Dimensional Alliance, then the Lockhart family was the richest family in the Devourer Faction.
Owning most of the extraordinary mines in the Aeon Plane, their wealth could even rival that of the Overlord organizations.
If not for their weak strength and inability to protect most of their wealth, they would probably be the richest in the Aeon Plane, not just among various families and organizations.
The Lockhart family’s unique ability allowed them to mine resources unreachable by others.
Forbidden places, special realms, even areas outside of the Aeon Plane could be mined.
If not for the explicit warning of the Overlords, they could even turn the Primordial Origin Realm into their mining ground.
As for what this mysterious ability was, even the Overlords were puzzled.
Those with Lockhart family blood seemed able to bypass all restrictions and bans, directly teleporting to lodes of mines, farms of elixirs, birthplaces of treasures, and so on.
Perhaps in the future, they could even directly pick an ultimate treasure from the most treacherous place with a simple walk.
While the primordial candidates were bragging about their experiences in the Tower of Knowledge.
The farce before Liam was finally contained.
Mobilizing his power to give them pain they would never forget, the greed amplified by dark energy dissipated without a trace.
Looking at their miserable state, Liam only snorted.
Luckily, his father had predicted this would happen and sent his brother and sister away on a trip.
Otherwise, given their character, a bloodbath would rain and drown the Skjǫldrún stronghold for the first time.
“Now that all of you have woken up, it’s time to receive your punishment…”
“What? Another punishment?!”
Feeling the pain in their bodies, they couldn’t help but shudder.
If this was not the punishment, then what was?!
“Hmph! Don’t worry, I wouldn’t be that violent. You only need to pay a little fine of 10,000 points.”
“10,000 points?!” Hearing this, the pain in their bodies seemed to dissipate in an instant.
After fighting for almost ten thousand years, most of them hadn’t even saved hundreds of points, much less enough to pay such a huge fine.
“Heh, you’ll have to pay whether you like it or not. Otherwise…”
