Soon, in the span of a few hours, Fen, baster, and Readius managed to destroy hundreds of outpost city bases.


    Together with their clones, millions among them advance from tier 3 to tier 4.


    Looking at the projection map, just as they were about to continue attacking, they saw an enormous number of enemies charging at them.


    "Tsk, attacking at full force this soon?"


    Such a dense number, even if they were given the heart of a leopard, they could only flee.


    "Retreat!"


    Retreating like a tide, they returned to the Etherium Base in victory.


    "How was your harvest?" Maximus quickly met with the three.


    "Not bad, not bad!" basterughed like he had won some big money.


    "Although killing is exhausting, the harvest is not bad," Readius said, suppressing his smile.


    "Maximus, you should also join. Although the benefits may not be much, it will at least make you stronger," Fen advised.


    Now, all their clones that managed to get into the void battlefield had reached tier 4 realm.


    If they controlled all the clones to attack, it would beparable to a tier 5 or 6 powerhouse.


    "I''ll get on with itter," Maximus nodded in understanding.


    "What are you going to do now?"


    "We''ll secure the origin essence we got, then continue to attack."


    Earlier, when the enemy decided to attack them at full force, they were not scared.


    They just didn''t want the loot they had gotten to fall into the enemy''s hands.


    The winner takes all; all the energy they have would, of course, all fall into the enemy once they were killed.


    They first wanted to secure the energy they had gotten to their clones hibernating in the Etherium Base before heading to another fight.


    Going to the core of the base, they open a solid box-like coffin made of tier-10 materials.


    Inside were their dormant clones, waiting to receive the origin essence they harvested.


    This way, even if they identally died, their true bodies in the Etherium Realm could still receive their harvest.


    "This is interesting. Can you pass it? Can others also?" Maximus asked, seeing what they were doing.


    "No, we can only do this because our clones have the same origin. The excess power we absorb would disappear once we reached the peak of tier 4 realm," Fen shook his head.


    If they could transfer the power they absorb, there would not be millions of individualsadvancing to tier 4 realm but hundreds of millions of them.


    The void battlefield seemed to treat this battle as a game.


    With each kill, the loot would be evenly distributed based on contribution.


    As leaders, their contribution to the battlefield was iparable, making the energy they absorbed enormous.


    However, because they couldn''t pass it around, they became a leak that was wasting the precious experience points of the battlefield.


    "It''s better than nothing."


    While they were passing the origin essence they absorbed, Maximus tried to look at what it was made of.


    Unfortunately, besides seeing that it was an energy made of the same origin, he couldn''t pierce its essence.


    "If only Lilith were here..." Maximus thought.


    After they had passed all the origin essence they hadabsorbed, they began gathering for another wave of attack.


    "It''s toote."


    Looking at the projection map, various scattered outposts of the Blood Ragnarok Realm began converging to the center.


    "Tsk, they were too alert..."


    ...


    Meanwhile, a little earlier, after the seven Ragnarok went with full reinforcements, they only saw an empty battlefield.


    "How dare they!" In anger, their killing intent red up.


    "How did they attack us without anyone noticing? It''s like they know our moves like the back of their hands," the Radiant Ragnarok mused.


    "Maybe it is. I can feel the ce is full of ''eyes''; it seems to be watching our every move," the Juggernaut Ragnarok frowned, feeling ufortable.


    "Then we just have to look for it!" the Crimson Ragnarok said, ring his aura around.


    Thousands of kilometers, millions of kilometers, billions of kilometers...


    As his aura spread, the Crimson Ragnarok didn''t find anything.


    "It must be invisible!"


    Trying all their skills, they only grew angrier and didn''t find a thing.


    If Maximus knew what they were doing, he would onlyugh.


    Using normal means to find the micro-surveince bots was impossible.


    These surveince machines were his painstaking masterpiece, and he was still improving it when he had time.


    A single micro-surveince bot was only a few thousand attometers in size.


    Furthermore, because Maximus used pure technology, they didn''t emit energy simr to magic, which one is usually familiar with.


    "Enough of this! Just attack the Etherium Realm directly. If they all die, no matter what tricks they are ying, it''s useless!" the Inferno Ragnarok said in anger and killing intent.


    "That''s right. Why are we wasting our time here? With our numerical superiority, we could crush the Etherium Realm into a pulp!" the Tempest Ragnarok quickly agreed.


    "These two stupid idiots," the gue Ragnarok mocked.


    "What do you mean?!" The two looked at the gue Ragnarok in anger.


    "No matter how high our numbers are, if they can see us, they can easily set up a trap on the way to our march. If we divide, on the other hand, they can attack us one by one."


    "Furthermore, with the killing that just happened, they should have umted millions of tier 4 elites. In front of such power, no matter how strong we are, we would be drowned."


    "This-" Hearing the gue Ragnarok''s conclusion, they couldn''t help but be shocked.


    "Then we''re doomed, are we?"


    "No, not yet. They can see our every move, so what? Given their strength, they couldn''t do much to us."


    "I see, so we just wait like this? Aren''t we too useless?" The Inferno Ragnarok muttered.


    "Well, it''s just you. I''m d you realize your worth this early!" the gue Ragnarokughed.


    "Damn!" The Inferno Ragnarok had enough and lunged at the gue Ragnarok.


    While the two were fighting, the Radiant Ragnarok thought of a countermeasure.


    "We''ll investigate how they are ''seeing'' us. We can''tunch an all-out attack. In the meantime, strengthen the security, make sure that this never happens again."


    With a n in hand, they quickly converged their space, looking for the method the Etherium Realm used to ''see'' them.


    ...


    Meanwhile, The people of the Etherium Realm went on full force to mine resources.


    All the processed stock that was with them was quickly being depleted.


    From potions, consumable training supplies, spiritual food, building materials, even the most basic spirit crystals were about to be gone.


    If they didn''t want to degrade and always be in peak condition, they had to mine resources outside the Etherium Outpost.


    Seeing the Blood Ragnarok Realm shrink its head, they didn''t worry about any attack or ambush.


    All they needed to do was mine, mine, and mine some more until they could no longer fill it into their storage spaces.


    …


    At the same time, in the Blood Ragnarok Outpost, they also noticed the fast-depleting supply.


    In the past, looking at the ever-flowing storage of resources, they didn''t need to worry about anything.


    Now, even eating for a day is bing a problem.


    Not wanting to lose before the full-blown war started, the seven Ragnarok ordered their people to spread toward the surrounding areas and look for resources.


    Unfortunately, Fen, Readius, and baster were waiting for this.


    Once the enemy began to spread, they formed a small army, ambushing, harassing, and killing all the lone groups that couldn''t get reinforcements on time.


    The seven Ragnarok expected as much.


    With such surveince capability, the enemy could easily fight them in guerri warfare.


    They also couldn''t gather more people to mine, which would only cause the enemy to gather arger number, causing more casualties.


    The only thing they can do now is wait until they crack the ''eye'' above the sky.


    ...


    A yearter, with augh thundering the void, the seven Ragnarok were finally able to identify the method the Etherium Realm used to monitor them.


    "I didn''t expect this little device could monitor us. Furthermore, looking around, they were all over the ce," the Juggernaut Ragnarok muttered, pinching an invisible particle in the air.


    "What a clever design. Aren''t we fighting a magic-based domain? Why is there such an advanced technological device here?" the Crimson Ragnarok felt speechless.


    "Maybe they bought it?"


    "Impossible. If those from the Mechanical Alliance sold this thing, they would be boycotted by the Dimensional War Committee the next second," the Radiant Ragnarok denied the im.


    As the top organization leading in technological advancement, they knew the Mechanical Alliance had surveince like it.


    Not only is it more advanced and smaller, but it''s also more undetectable by any means.


    The Radiant Ragnarok had heard that they use this technology in the main battlefield against the void beasts, Zerg, and the Abyss.


    Mapping the entire void, they could micromanage the battlefield, using the weak to defeat the strong.
