The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God

Chapter 472: Wanderer’s Return

Landing on the 7th dimensional void ship, Maximus didn't have time to admire the colossus ship.

He immediately used the Seal of Truth, deducing Wanderer's position non-stop.

With the special elder token given by Iris, Maximus was unhindered in his search.

A few hours later, Maximus arrived at a large workshop with mechanical bots moving around fixing a giant ship.

The ship had the shape and the theme of the final design iteration he created for Wanderer.

"Trespassing is not allowed. First warning!" the alarm blared, warning him.

"It seems you've forgotten me... Wanderer," Maximus said emotionally.

Wanderer had been in a lower dimension when he created him.

Tier 9 dimensions and above shared the same time axis as the void.

However, in lower dimensions with incomplete laws, time was inconsistent—either too fast or too slow.

"Recouping the database. A familiar entity was found. Passing the information to the main server..."

Hearing its voice and seeing his matching face, the entire workshop began to heat up as enormous amounts of data were being processed.

"Identity image passed, mana frequency passed, spirit frequency passed, emotional frequency passed, origin frequency passed..."

With a loud sound, the workshop suddenly transformed as a humanoid machine slowly walked toward him.

Thud!

"I finally found you, Master!" Kneeling before him, the humanoid figure said seriously, with a touch of emotion.

"Wanderer, welcome back..." Maximus muttered with a smile.

"Wanderer successfully completed your last order. Please proceed to give me the next task."

Maximus's last mission for Wanderer was to survive and, if possible, reunite with him.

"Your next mission? Hahaha! It's time to go home with me. There's a lot you need to do." Maximus laughed happily, patting Wanderer's current form.

"Go back?! Heh! Mechanical creatures can only stay in the Mechanical Alliance!" A voice suddenly interrupted their reunion.

"Higal! I, Wanderer, am a free mechanical creature, not bound by the Mechanical Alliance's rules, and I am free to go wherever I wish!" Wanderer stood up, protecting Maximus.

Through years of wandering in the void and staying with the Mechanical Alliance, Wanderer had already reached the Tier 11 realm.

Facing an elder of the Alliance, who was also Tier 11, Wanderer was not afraid.

"Wanderer! You should know you would fare better following me," Higal said with a dark expression.

"My mission is to serve my master and nothing else," Wanderer said.

When Maximus created Wanderer, he installed the most crucial modules: Growth and Origin.

Wanderer had a growth module that allowed it to study and improve itself.

Wanderer also shared an Origin generated from Maximus's own, which is why, despite all the years, Wanderer would always remain loyal to Maximus.

"That means if you can't protect your master, you will be mine!" Higal muttered, suddenly attacking Maximus.

"Not on my watch!" Wanderer said as his eyes turned red, blocking Higal's attack.

"You're just a mechanical creature. You can't block me," Higal smiled mockingly.

If not for his interest in Wanderer's miraculous creation, he wouldn't have bothered wasting his time talking to him.

Finally losing patience with such an uncompromising and unintelligent mechanical creature, Higal decided to just disassemble Wanderer after taking him down.

As for Maximus's special elder token from the Immortal Palace Sect, Higal didn't give it a second thought.

Believing that Maximus, who was barely in the Tier 9 realm, could not possibly possess a real token.

Meanwhile, Feeling the pressure, Maximus wanted to quickly escape.

However, thinking of his sons and Wanderer still depending on him, Maximus gritted his teeth and prepared to mobilize the Shadow Elder.

As Higal's attack was about to land on him, the Shadow Elder, hidden in Maximus's shadow, appeared, launching a surprise attack on Higal.

"A shadow creature?" Higal frowned, stopping his attack to block the Shadow Elder.

"Give him a pincer attack," Maximus ordered coldly.

Since he couldn't escape, they would just have to kill the enemy.

Higal was just a Tier 11 individual who hadn't mastered the River of Law.

With two Tier 11 individuals on his side, Maximus believed killing Higal should be possible.

"Hmph!" Frowning, Higal began to fight back, mobilizing the armaments of the dimensional void ship.

As the commotion grew, the 7th-dimensional void ship issued blaring alarms as the Mechanical Alliance fleet came to a halt.

They were in the chaotic void zone, where even the slightest disturbance could cause dangerous turbulence.

Alerted by the commotion, one of the Supreme Commanders, Levon, living on the 3rd-dimensional void ship, appeared.

"Stop!" he said, freezing time and space.

Feeling his body freeze, Maximus grew nervous.

"What happened here?!" Levon asked coldly.

"Supreme Commander, we have a trespasser pretending to be an elder of the Immortal Palace Sect. I thought I could easily take him on, but I didn't expect a shadow creature guardian and a traitor was on his side!" Higal hurriedly accused.

"Hmm?"

Hearing this, Levon looked at Maximus's special elder token.

Feeling the aura of Iris, his frown deepened.

There was no way to fake the aura of a Tier 11 individual who had mastered the River of Law, much less someone who had mastered the Ocean of Law.

"How do you know Iris? What is her relationship to you?" Levon asked seriously.

Hearing this, before Maximus could answer, Higal was already sweating profusely.

He knew Iris was one of the Supreme Leaders of the Immortal Palace Sect.

Hearing the Supreme Commander ask such a question meant Maximus's pass was real, and he was doomed.

"I-I'm her friend..." Maximus said uncertainly.

He didn't know what his relationship with Iris was.

A potential talent? A friend? Maybe Iris just had a good impression of him?

"A friend? Are you kidding me?" Levon said, thinking he had heard the most absurd thing.

Iris was the coldest woman he knew.

Even among female friends, she had few, much less a man with such weak strength.

If Maximus could be a friend of Iris, could it be that he had a chance to make her his partner?

The Supreme Commander thought absurdly.

Just as he was about to interrogate Maximus further, a heavenly aura suddenly descended before them.

"I-Iris?!" Levon muttered in a daze.

"W-what are you doing here?"

"I'm just here to protect my friend..." Iris said, placing her hand on Maximus's shoulder and releasing her pressure.

Feeling challenged, Levon unconsciously increased his pressure, clashing with Iris.

As space trembled, the laws surged, and the chaotic void began to stir.

Maximus was still in a daze, feeling Iris's touch.

Feeling the softness and smelling her fragrance, Maximus's heart surged with the void.

With his impulse about to take over, Maximus's self-defense mechanism kicked in as various words and images flashed in his mind, calming him down.

Maximus had already learned his lesson with Iris and didn't want to experience it a second time.

Not wanting to cause a scene, he had set up a defense mechanism for the moment he was about to fall.

Maximus guessed that Iris must have mastered a special ocean of law about enchanting or something along those lines..

Otherwise, he didn't believe he would be charmed and act like a lovesick boy just because of her beauty.

As various thoughts flashed through his mind, Levon finally realized something was wrong and hurriedly withdrew his pressure.

If their clash continued, the dimensional void fleet would fall into disarray, causing immeasurable losses.

"I'm just asking this friend of yours some questions. I mean no harm," Levon apologized.

Besides the potential chaos their battle would cause, Levon had no confidence in fighting Iris.

Although they were both Tier 11 and had mastered the Ocean of Law, their strengths were vastly different.

A force is considered top-ranked not because of its wealth, massiveness, accumulation, resources, etc., but because of its power.

The Immortal Palace Sect, second only to the Asura Sect, wielded enormous power.

The Mechanical Alliance had only risen in the last few trillion epochs.

Although they had a heaven-defying liquid solution that could quickly train up large numbers of Tier 11 individuals, it was inferior to the Immortal Palace's foundational manual.

With their power difference, Levon had no confidence in winning, even if he called the other supreme commanders.

"Oh, you're just asking questions? Is that true?" Iris asked, turning to Maximus.

"It's true..." Maximus nodded, not wanting to offend a Supreme Commander.

"Then what are you doing here?" Iris asked with a hint of complaint.

Maximus hadn't gone to the Immortal Palace realm for over a decade, which Iris found a little irritating.

Feeling the special elder token she had given Maximus issuing a distress signal, she hurriedly teleported to this place.

"I wanted to retrieve my mechanical companion," Maximus said, pointing at Wanderer.

"Is that all?" Levon commented, glaring hatefully at Higal.

Just for a Tier 11 mechanical creature, he had offended this witch? How much chaos did he want to cause?

"So, Levon, do you have any opinion?" Iris asked superficially.

"It's not up to me to decide. Although I'm the Supreme Commander, I can't give my people to whomever I want." Levon said hardheadedly.

Rolling her eyes, Iris patted Maximus to finish his business quickly.

"Wanderer, It's time to go home."

"As you wish, Master!"
