Chapter 1000 A grim meeting
( One month later )
A full month passed by since Max took in the seed of destruction and in this one month Max suffered a lot to tame the power of the seed.
The seed of destruction kept filling Max's brain with malicious thoughts wrapped under the pretext of the greater good and it became incredibly difficult to resist its temptations especially when Max's personal goals aligned completely with what the seed wanted him to perform.
The seed asked him to destroy the Aurelius clan, reminding him as to how the Aurelius clan was a snake in waiting and how by allowing them to exist Max was inviting problems for Kremeth in the future.
By destroying the Aurelius clan, not only could Max eliminate all future problems for Kremeth, but he could also gain a few dozen levels in a single day!
Not only could his soul vessel be expanded, but its quality could be improved too and all this could be achieved without much effort if only Max tapped into the power of the seed and used it to punish the criminals.
After spending a month under the influence of the power of the seed, Max realised that his mana channels and ability to conduct energy had improved by 10%.
The seed was constantly destroying his energy pathways, flooding them with destruction energy and slowly improving its composition as it made a natural recovery.
This was precisely what Rudra wanted Max to do, although to a much greater degree and once the seed felt this ambition it kept pestering Max to delve deeper and deeper into its powers so that he could achieve this goal much faster.
Max knew that the more he used the seed for its power, the stronger its voice would get in his brain as until he managed to suppress the seed and its power in full, he could absolutely not use it.
" I won't give in... I don't wanna lose my mind and tether between the edge of sanity and insanity.
No matter how long it takes, I will defeat the will of the seed and only then shall I use it" Max said with conviction as he decided his path for once and for all.

( Meanwhile at the Rajput Capital )
Asiva, Anna, Hazriel and Mira sat together in an awkward informal emergency meeting regarding Max.
The four of them dreaded the very thought of having to hold this meeting, not because they disliked each other, but because the topic of this meeting was so grim that the four of them hoped that the day to discuss it would never come.
" Max has gone into secluded isolation just like Rudra did before him... according to the queen he's trying to tame some great power.
However, I somehow feel like this is the end of the road for him.
He has already become a monarch and is undoubtedly following Rudra's footsteps to become a celestial.
Although, I don't want to say it
But soon we might be like Ruby and Naomi who don't have their husband in this world" Anna said as she tried hard not to cry, however, her voice still choked up at the end.
" Sometimes I don't understand his motivations.
I've supported him forever and will continue to support him in whatever he decides, however, if I were in his shoes then this is where I'd stop.
He's already the strongest in the universe.
He has four beautiful wives.
He has there beautiful children
He is an uncle of talented kids
He is the king of the vampires and the Supreme Lord of the universe.
He has completed life
But instead of enjoying it he's chasing even greater heights and that's something I can't relate with.
In his place, this is where I would have stopped" Asiva said as she did not understand why Max kept pushing himself to attain greater heights when he already had everything that there was to have.
" How long do you think before he ascends? I'm not ready to separate with him just yet, I've been alone for thousands of years and have only recently found happiness...
I-I can't" Hazriel said as her voice choked up and the others rushed to give her a hug.
Everyone understood exactly how Hazriel felt but there was nothing that they could do about it.
Nobody had enough of Max, all four of them were secretly trying their best to get his attention or make him notice them more, however, there was no question that Hazriel was hit the most.
" I thought I would never love someone as much as I love Max. However, once my child was born I realised that maybe she's someone I will love as much as I love Max, maybe even more.
Even if Max ascends and leaves us all behind, I'm okay with it now.
I've made my peace.
I married the man I love and had a child with him, that's enough to go on for a lifetime" Mira said as she presented her views on children and being happy.
" Sister Hazriel you must get pregnant too. You must convince him to give you a child when he comes out of seclusion as only by having a child will you find fulfilment even after he is gone" Asiva agreed as she realised that even with Max gone as long as Kremeth was around she would probably be okay and happy.
But while the three of them had kids, Hazriel had no one except for Max and her brothers who secretly hated her now and hence it was important that she got pregnant at the first chance possible.
At first Hazriel did not wish to rush into such things, however, after this meeting between the wives today, she made up her mind on getting a child as she realised that with Max possibly being gone, only a mini Max running around would keep her occupied and happy.
