Taking out countless Ether Devices created by the Order of Maxim over the past hundred years, Maximus slowly merged them into the Aeon Plane.
Like a breathing apparatus, they gave the Aeon Plane multiple outlets, allowing it to absorb chaos energy and convert it into plane origin.
As if injected with a stimulant, the Aeon Plane's speed, density, and expansion multiplied with each embedded Ether Device.
"It seems they're not useless after all…" Maximus's eyes lit up, observing the Aeon Plane's reaction to the Ether Devices.
Over the years, the Ether Devices had become obsolete.
Though they could produce origin energy, it was far less than what he could harvest from chaos grass.
As for reconfiguring them to generate myriad energy, it was too complex, and the effort far outweighed the benefit.
Even if he could create such a device, it wouldn't be as convenient or fast as directly killing a tier 13 dark beast.
