As another hundred thousand years passed, feeling his physique and will reached perfection, Maximus began to stand up.
"Are you ready to go up, Maximus?" Zar asked, noticing he had risen.
During those years, Zar still couldn't catch up, stuck at the 161,800th step.
Even Atlas, who later caught up, only reached the 161,801st step.
The last three steps were simply something that wasn't passable.
"It's time. The origin dark beast is about to arrive. Can you handle it?" Maximus sighed.
Though he wanted more time, with the origin dark beast approaching, he had no choice but to end the trial early.
"No worries, it's just a dark beast. I can handle everything!" Zar said confidently.
In his mind, he even imagined defeating the origin dark beast before Maximus finished merging with the throne of the Aeon Plane.
Didn't that mean he was stronger than Maximus?
"Leave it to us, teacher. Just focus on merging with the throne of the Aeon Plane," Atlas said with equal confidence.
