As Maximus slowly walked forward with his whole family in tow, all individuals, regardless of their strength, unconsciously stepped back, forming a path for them.
Maximus's aura was so overwhelming that they even forgot to breathe.
Like a sleeping beast, an invisible fear gripped their hearts, urging them not to wake it up.
Soon, while they were in a daze, Maximus took the first step toward the throne of the Aeon Plane.
Bang!
His feet suddenly stuck to the ground as he endured a fire fiercer than hell.
"Is this the trial?" Maximus asked, turning to the shocked crowd.
"Each stair bears the weight of all beings, amplified by each entity of law."
"To ascend to the throne above, you must walk all the way up."
Hearing the entity of origin explain the rules, the powerhouses behind finally reacted.
"You! Maximus, how could you be so strong?" Zar said, speaking up as he reignited his suddenly extinguished fighting spirit.
