The pressure on Maxwell's shoulder was really heavy.
Even though he gained the starlight powers and the country's royal qi of fortune, the pressure on him was still quite heavy.
Especially the words Devil Monarch Skysoul said to him.
It was very clear…
Devil Monarch Skysoul did not place those two powers in his eyes at all. It was another way of saying he had no fear whatsoever. Otherwise, when those two types of powers were being infused into Maxwell's body, Devil Monarch Skysoul would've broken the transmission already.
Since he didn't break it, it proved that Devil Monarch Skysoul was not afraid of it one bit.

The first light of dawn could be seen in the eastern direction.
The beginning of a new day!
People started appearing on the streets with sleepy expressions. The majority of them stayed up all night since they couldn't sleep.
There were also quite a few people monitoring Maxwell.
They were afraid he would run away!
Maxwell understood that if he were in others' shoes, he too would be afraid of something like that happening.
More and more people gathered in the main square.
There wasn't a single person who wasn't shocked when they saw medicinal pills piled up high like a mountain.
"Adam!"
"Please issue all 50,000 palace guards a Profound Burst Pill. You and Constantine will command them. Remember that if the pill needs to be used, have everyone use it together and not one by one whenever they feel like. Otherwise, it'll be difficult to display their collective strength," said Maxwell in a serious manner.
Adam had changed into a General's armour and was kneeling on one knee. He then shouted, "I have received the order!"
Immediately after…
He went off to gather up the Royal Palace Guards.
Constantine reacted slowly before rushing after him.
Maxwell then continued saying, "Godfrey, there are still 10,000 Profound Burst Pills and 100,000 Healing Pills. Issue them out in appropriate quantities, but remember to only give them to martial artists at the Spirit rank or above. As for the martial artists below the Spirit rank, have them hide at the rear."
The devil fiend army was too strong, so the martial artists at the Spirit rank were ants to them.
But…
They had no other choice, so they could only gather the remaining usable martial artists.
Godfrey was copying Adam with one knee on the ground. He then said solemnly: "I have received the order!"
He then quickly withdrew.
Maxwell looked at Blindman Dale and said, "Blindman Dale: I didn't have you play the battle song yesterday. Today, your mission is to allow every warrior in the Capital City to be able to hear the battle song Never Say Never."
Blindman Dale was faintly stunned, then anxiously said, "Dragon head, the musical ensemble of the royal palace is familiar with the battle song now. They'll be fine without me. I wish to head to the front lines since the others are there as well. You can't leave me behind to be their conductor!"
How could he tolerate it when he saw Constantine and the others all become Generals leading their own troops?
Maxwell's voice lowered in seriousness: "Do you really think it's that simple to play the battle song? Do you think your only task is to play the battle song? You still have to protect the royal palace. Arianna, Lilith, Brenda, and the others also need your protection."
"Humph!"
"Like I need protection."
Upon hearing that voice…
Arianna, Lilith, Lois, and even Brenda appeared while dressed in full battle gear.
Valiant and heroic!
What an awe-inspiring appearance!
The appearance of the four girls immediately caused a commotion. Maxwell's brows twitched in anxiety as he said, "What are you girls doing? Didn't I tell you to wait at home patiently? What are you doing running out here?"
"We are citizens of the Evans Kingdom as well. We also want to make some contributions to the Capital City."
"We aren't that much weaker than the warriors here!"
"That's right, big brother. I can already control a bit of my powers now, hee hee…" Brenda looked exceptionally cute in a small steel cap and a small wooden sword.
But…
This place will become a battlefield!
One couldn't kill their enemies by being cute.
Maxwell rolled his eyes. From the looks of things, these girls will be refusing to leave, so he could only bitterly smile. "Fine. Blindman Dale, make some arrangements for the musical ensemble. Once the array protecting the city is broken through, immediately start the battle song. I won't spare you if I can't hear the song playing. Once you've made the arrangements, protect… uh, well… I mean, follow the girls in killing our enemies."
"I've received the orders!"
Blindman Dale grinned. When he looked at all these beautiful sisters-in-law, Blindman Dale revealed his yellow-stained teeth and said, "All my sisters-in-law, would you like me to first play a song for you?"
"Scram!"
"Scram!"
"Blindman Dale, why do you have to play a song? My ears cannot handle it anymore, hee hee…"
Blindman Dale chuckled before quickly leaving.
Anything that could be arranged had been arranged.
Everything that could be used was used.
Maxwell had turned every resource he had into their most useful form, so now they could only wait!
Wait for the one day to be up!
This was a painful process, yet it was filled with expectation.
Maxwell looked up at the sky with his brows locked. He had been thinking since last night on how to level up the War Leader System to level 5. But no matter how much he thought about it, contributed to the Capital City, or made the martial artists worship him, he was unable to level up the War Leader System.
Most likely with his current strength…
Maxwell was really unsure.
Transforming into Devil Sovereign, releasing Myriad Devil, adding on the Extreme Divine Pearl, the starlight powers, the royal qi power, all these powers added together, and he still might not be Devil Monarch Skysoul's opponent. The only thing that can compete with that devil is the Heavenly Sword!
The flying sword that existed only in legends!
A Heavenly Sword that no one has seen, but truly does exist!
"Screw it!"
Maxwell frowned and said to himself, "Fight it out first! If that doesn't work, I'll figure something out later. My head's going to explode from thinking about this for so long."
He really wanted to raise the War Leader System to level 5.
Then…
Once Devil Monarch Skysoul appears, he would directly slash him apart with the Heavenly Sword.
Beat him up, get out of work and then wait for the loot explosion!
Now that would be awesome!
But… the War Leader System didn't give him any hints on how to level up! Maxwell felt powerless, as if he were looking at Lord System's expression to gauge how he should act.
Immediately after…
Maxwell threw out all distracting thoughts and waited for time to pass.

"From the look on his face, it seems like he wants to fight it out with Devil Monarch Skysoul."
"I was worrying the whole night that he would join Devil Monarch Skysoul's army. It looks like I was worried for nothing, hahaha… This kid is definitely going to die, and the Capital City is about to turn into a dead city with a river of blood running through it!"
"This kid managed to drag out another day on his last breath, but still has to die in the end. A bumpkin will always be a bumpkin; no matter how much he struggles, he is still a useless bumpkin. He wants to turn things around? Then just become a dead bumpkin then, hahaha…"
The sounds of mockery and ridicule were once again heard coming from the void.
Maxwell coldly sneered up at the air and said without holding back: "You bunch of old bastards, just wait for me. Don't let me see you next time, or else it'll be the day of your death!"
His rage was burning up now!
They were like flies buzzing around you all day and night, easily irritating you to the max.
If they were here in front of him right now, Maxwell wouldn't care about whatever Devil Monarch Skysoul and would kill them directly and talk later.
A bunch of cold laughter echoed in the void.
Also at the same time…
The sky changed drastically as devilish flames flared. The huge figure of Devil Monarch Skysoul appeared in the sky as he said, "Time's up!"
