"Boom!"
A loud sound was heard in the sky.
"Boom!"
A loud sound came from inside Maxwell's body.
The two powers disappeared. The inside of Maxwell was like the power of the sea, as it churned and smashed against the shores. He had never felt such power before, so he was extremely excited.
He gently clenched his fists.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The space around his body started distorting before exploding with power. Traces of terrifying black lines appeared, as if space were being shattered.
"Too strong!"
"The two powers have fused perfectly!" Maxwell ecstatically rejoiced.
Indeed…
One was the Evans Kingdom's fortune that had been amassed for ten thousand years, so how can it not be powerful?
The other one was the power of the stars seen in the sky, so how can it not be powerful?
These two powerful forces fused and entered Maxwell's body. His own strength had been increased at an unprecedented level, so how can it not be powerful?
These two powers were enough to make anyone cry in amazement!
Maxwell was excited to the max.

Outside the Capital City.
Devil Monarch Skysoul was observing from the void. His expression sank slightly as he sent out his spiritual sense to transmit a voice. "Kid, I gave you a chance, so I hope that you will value it. Do not make any foolish decisions."
"This will be the only chance I'm giving you!"
"A mere country's royal qi of fortune and an incomplete starlight power aren't things I put in my eyes. In the ancient world, these two energies were of no concern to people. You shouldn't be thinking of having a chance to fight with me, because you are still too weak!"
The voice entered Maxwell's mind.
Devil Monarch Skysoul's voice was very calm.
He was advising Maxwell not to do anything stupid.
Only following him is the only choice that will lead Maxwell onto a brighter path.
This was also a warning to Maxwell that his newfound powers were not worth mentioning in his eyes! When comparing yourself to me, you are practically beyond weak!
Maxwell was naturally clear on this, so he only faintly smiled without saying anything in response.
He just kept working frantically on the leftover spiritual herbs.
His speed was much faster than before.
The medicinal pills had also become more effective than the previous ones.
This was the enhancement he received from the starlight and royal qi powers.
Devil Monarch Skysoul closed his eyes, retrieved his spiritual senses and said to himself: "I hope you will make the correct choice, otherwise…"
"Devil Monarch!"
"Why are you treating a human with so much favour? There's not a single good human out of them all! If it weren't for that sinister and despicable human, we wouldn't have been imprisoned in the Devil Sealing Array for over ten thousand years! Humans are not good things!
"The words of General Dork Devil are true!"
Humans are more terrifying than the ancient black cave. You give them an inch, and they will try to take a mile. This kid has some abilities, but he's only at the King rank; he isn't qualified to accompany Devil Monarch in traversing the world."
"That's right! For a human that's as weak as an ant, having Devil Monarch give him a chance at living is already considered his greatest honour. Having to think about it is practically a rejection, which is considered a huge insult!"
All the devil fiend commanders couldn't understand their monarch.
They have followed Devil Monarch Skysoul for many years and have never seen him pay so much attention to a human before.
Devil Monarch Skysoul couldn't describe it either; he just somehow saw in Maxwell a shadow of an expert from the ancient world. He also appreciated Maxwell's character – his unyielding attitude, his leadership ability, even his overbearing arrogance- and he was not alone.
That's why the thought of having Maxwell follow him grew in his mind.
But…
Devil Monarch Skysoul had his own bottom line.
He had given Maxwell one day to think it over. It would be best if Maxwell agreed the next day; otherwise, everything in the Capital City will disappear.
Devil Monarch Skysoul's eyes turned cold as he said, "When we were inside the Devil Sealing Array, I once said that I would kill every human in this world. Today, that kid surprised me and made me want him to submit to me. It doesn't matter if he agrees tomorrow or not because there's no need for the Capital City to continue existing!"
He had made a firm decision.
Whether Maxwell agreed to join him or not, the Capital City will forever disappear from this world!
All the devil fiend commanders had cold expressions, but they started laughing with excitement.

Deep into the night.
The entire Capital City was silent.
There wasn't even the sound of dogs barking.
It was so quiet that it was scary.
Maxwell had finally finished refining that mountain of spiritual herbs. Looking at the large pile of medicinal pills next to him, he said, "I hope I can at least save some people tomorrow."
Around this time…
Several human figures appeared above the main square.
Godfrey, Constantine and the others had returned.
"Boss, we've placed all the items according to your instructions," said Constantine. When he noticed the large pile of medicinal pills next to Maxwell, he then mumbled in shock: "Boss is truly the Boss; only with his abilities can he concoct so many medicinal pills in such a short time. He's too awesome."
The others also tried to hide their expressions of shock.
Adam could sense a powerful force of royal qi coming from Maxwell. It was even stronger than his father T
Arthur. He then recalled the golden light that surged into the sky, and joy filled his heart. He then said: "Maxwell, you… This is really great!"
"It's the Old Senior that thinks highly of me."
"I will definitely not let him down."
Maxwell replied with a serious look.
These two powers have greatly helped him, so he was incomparably grateful in his heart.
Immediately after…
Maxwell said, "Do you guys have enough Profound Burst Pills on you? If you don't, take some more. Tomorrow will be a fierce battle, and we might all die. That's why you cannot hold back your strength in tomorrow's battle. Just let everything out to your heart's content. And there's no need to do things by our old rules of knocking them half dead, just kill as many of them as you can!"
Constantine grinned foolishly as he rubbed his hands together. He then said with an expression like he couldn't wait any longer: "I can finally let it all out tomorrow. Last time at the Great Alliance, I still hadn't used my full strength yet. And this past month, I have finally absorbed all the blood essence of the Ten Thousand Beast Lineage you gave me. Boss, watch the good show I'll be putting on tomorrow, heh heh…"
Before Godfrey could speak, his Hulk Sword was already ringing. Godfrey faintly smiled and said, "The reason I came to the Capital City was to challenge all the experts on the Sky Rankings. My target is the world's strongest sword expert – 'Holy Cloud Sword' Fela! He became famous through the Sky Rankings, and I will too. I will definitely defeat him and become the world's number one swordsman!"
Blindman Dale took off his banjo and revealed his yellow-stained teeth with a smile. "All my fellow fierce men, should I play a song for you?"
"Scram!"
"Get out of here!"
"Hahaha…"
"Hahaha…"
The five of them started laughing.
They were all laughing openly and brilliantly.
This kind of feeling was too great!
They will struggle together; kill together; cry together, and laugh together.
Living and dying together!
Now that's brotherhood!
Maxwell desperately cherished this feeling of brotherhood.
Soon after…
Maxwell had them all go back to rest up so that they could fight with all their strength tomorrow.
He also left the area.
He arrived at a particular elegant courtyard in the royal palace.
It was brightly lit in the middle of the courtyard.
Arianna, Lilith, Brenda, and Lois were all waiting for Maxwell…
