The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God-Chapter 748: Distribution of Benefits

"90% of our harvest? Are you kidding us?"

"This is too much! This is exploitation!"

"If we gave that much to you, we'd be fighting for nothing!"

Hearing Maximus's quote, the Absolutes quickly protested.

Although the void outpost and the energy it used came from Maximus, they would still be on the losing end.

Firing the main gun of the void outpost wasn't just a matter of aiming and shooting.

To fire a shot powerful enough to kill a tier 12 dark beast, they needed to use the essence of their path as the "shell" for the shot.

Without it, it would take even more energy to form a blast strong enough to kill a tier 12 dark beast.

Essentially, they'd be firing off their own power, burning away the essence of their path with each kill.

Without the replenishment of merit from the Aeon Plane, regression wasn't the worst outcome; their path could even disintegrate from over exhaustion.

Even though 10% of the harvest could cover the cost, gaining nothing from their hard work was too much.

"Oh, I didn't make it clear~" Maximus teased with a smile.

"What I meant was: for all the lower dark beasts the void outpost kills, including tier 11 dark beasts, I'll take 90% of the harvest."

"But for tier 12 dark beasts that you assisted to kill, I'll only take 50%."

Anchoring to a high price then lowering it, the Absolutes didn't know what to complain.

Initially, they'd never agree to such a losing deal.

Though killing lower-tier dark beasts didn't cost them much…

After all, they were the ones in charge of the void outpost, guiding and protecting it toward the enemy.

Getting only 10% for that effort would've been an insult to their status as Absolutes.

However, with Maximus's little trick, it didn't seem so bad.

After all, unless it was an absolute-level primal dark beast, it wasn't very useful to them beyond a few harvestable materials.

Although they could still gain merit, it could only enhance their spirit, strength, and energy.

For their path of law to grow, they needed to kill higher-tier dark beasts for the Aeon Plane to reward them with merit that strengthened their path.

So, even if they earned less money, being able to keep 50% of the harvest that improved their path of law was more than enough.

"We agree to your distribution method."

"I also have no further comment. 50% works for me."

"What about those powerhouses that need to board the void outpost? Do we have to pay them out of our own pocket?" one of the Absolutes asked, hoping to save some money.

After all, with only 10% income from all the hassle, they were reluctant to pay those powerhouses below them.

"No need for that. From the 90% of my cut, I'll distribute 40% to the rest who contribute."

"This—"

Hearing that, the Absolutes couldn't believe their ears.

Was this really Maximus—the same Maximus who nearly scammed them out of every profit?

How could he care so much about those powerhouses, enough to give up 40% of his harvest?

"I'm not evil. How could I not reward the heroes who took up arms to protect the Aeon Plane?"

Maximus was never stingy with rewards. As long as it was beneficial, he wouldn't hesitate to give what was needed.

If the Absolutes needed the merits from the lower-tier dark beasts, Maximus would've even lowered his cut further to help them progress.

Unfortunately, only merit from higher-tier dark beasts was effective for their path.

Thus, instead of wasting it on them, he would rather distribute it to the rest.

Hearing Maximus's words, the Absolutes couldn't help but feel moved.

Maybe Maximus wasn't as ruthless as they thought.

Soon, after discussing more details, the Absolutes set out, competing to take control of the void outposts.

"We, the Interdimensional Council, claim the first void outpost. We shall name it the Ruler's Void Outpost."

Regulus, along with Lennox and Aeolus, quickly secured one of the void outposts.

Despite over a million years of tireless work, they had only managed to produce 15 void outposts.

With not enough to go around, the Absolutes began fighting over who would claim each one.

"This one will be renamed the Time and Space Void Outpost!"

"Ours will be called the Virtual Void Outpost!"

"Hehe, the Void Beasts shall occupy one."

"The Zerg will also take one!"

"This one shall be marked by the Abyss."

Soon, following the Interdimensional Council's lead, all the overlord forces with at least three Absolutes in their ranks took over a void outpost.

Seeing the nine remaining void outposts, the rest of the Absolutes couldn't help but hurry.

Knowing they couldn't claim one alone, the top families and organizations from the Dimensional Alliance and the Devourer Faction began to unite, dividing the remaining void outposts.

Soon after the brief struggle, the Absolutes boarded their assigned void outposts.

Looking at the void outpost and then at each other, they couldn't help but feel emotional.

"After this, I'm going to focus on building a void outpost for my own family!"

"Hah, what a disgrace. This is the last time I share anything with you lot!"

"Hmph! If you don't want to be here, then leave!"

Sharing a void outpost felt as uncomfortable as being disgraced by a mortal.

If not for the merits they could earn by killing the tier 12 dark beasts invading in the first wave of the Dark Disaster, they wouldn't be able to stand each other at all.

"Alright, time to go. Let's see if these void outposts even work," Maximus said, cutting off the rising argument.

"That's right! Let's see if they're as powerful as you claimed!"

"If they don't work, we'll be expecting compensation!"

"Idiot, if they don't work, we'll be buried inside a dark beast's belly!"

Having built the void outposts themselves, of course, they were only joking.

They tested them in simulations and just needed real combat to prove it.

"Then good luck. I'll be waiting for your safe return and a bountiful harvest," Maximus said, sending them off with a blessing.

After watching them leave, he returned to the newly improved Shadow Void Ship.

With time and a few ultimate treasures, the Shadowcrest family's ship had become a beast in its own right.

With Wanderer and Eternal Voyager boarding, the ship began powering up.

"Host, are you ready to go?" Wanderer asked ceremoniously.

"Hmm, let's go. Let's see if this Dark Disaster is really as fearsome as they say."
