Dimensional Keeper: All My Skills Are at Level 100

Chapter 1678 A Talk with Isabella!

Maxʼs eyes immediately brightened slightly afterward.

”Haha, that is actually a very good idea,” he admitted while nodding.

Although such a method sounded somewhat ruthless, Max still understood its necessity clearly.

A secret organization like theirs absolutely could not afford betrayal from within.

Fear was sometimes the most effective method of maintaining loyalty.

Especially during the early stages while their foundations remained weak.

The more Max thought about it, the more he felt Julieʼs suggestion was extremely useful.

Then suddenly, another idea surfaced within his mind.

The Dimension of Soul.

With the authority he possessed over souls now, Max realized he could potentially create something similar himself.

If future members willingly allowed it, he could directly place a soul mark upon them through the Dimension of Soul.

That soul mark could remain dormant normally without affecting the target at all.

However—

The moment someone attempted betrayal, the soul mark could instantly activate.

At that point, their soul would collapse directly from within.

And once the soul shattered—

Death would become inevitable.

”Alright,” Max said while looking toward Julie with a faint smile appearing across his face. ”We will proceed according to your plan.”

A thoughtful light gradually appeared within his eyes afterward.

”If things truly unfold the way you described, then the Cosmic Ascension Conference might become the perfect opportunity to expand our force rapidly.”

After all, the Cosmic Ascension Conference gathered countless monstrous geniuses from across the Divine Realm. If he could truly display overwhelming talent there and make his name resound throughout the younger generation, then attracting talented individuals afterward would naturally become much easier.

Max slowly nodded to himself.

”In that case,” he continued calmly, ”I will do everything possible to stand out during the Cosmic Ascension Conference.”

The confidence within his voice was extremely obvious.

Then Max looked toward both Jonathan and Julie once again.

”Make sure the two of you arrive at the secret domain tonight at midnight,” he said seriously. ”I will be waiting there personally.”

Jonathan immediately nodded.

Julie also agreed calmly afterward.

With everything already settled between them, there was no reason to continue remaining inside the underground area any longer.

Soon afterward, Max turned around and began walking away from the hidden prison tunnels.

Meanwhile, Jonathan and Julie silently watched his departing figure thoughtfully.

As for Max himself, he quickly left the underground prison area completely and headed back toward the mansion assigned to the Black Dragon Clan.

After leaving the underground prison area, Max soon returned to the mansion assigned to the Black Dragon Clan.

The atmosphere throughout the mansion was noticeably lively because many disciples were still discussing the results of the Smelting Trial and preparing for the banquet that would be held later that night.

However, Max paid little attention to those conversations.

The moment he entered the courtyard, his gaze immediately found Lucia and Isabella speaking together nearby.

”Isabella,” Max called out calmly. ”Come meet me alone in my room for a moment.”

The moment those words were spoken, Lucia immediately narrowed her eyes suspiciously.

”Alone?” she repeated while looking between the two of them carefully.

A strange expression gradually appeared across her face afterward.

Meanwhile, Isabella herself looked slightly confused as well.

However, before Lucia could begin questioning him further, Max calmly added, ”There are some important matters we need to discuss.”

Lucia stared at him silently for several moments afterward.

Clearly, her curiosity had already been completely aroused.

Still, after a brief pause, she eventually let out a helpless sigh.

”Forget it,” Lucia muttered while waving her hand dismissively. ”I still have some matters to deal with anyway.”

Even though she remained suspicious, she ultimately chose not to interfere further.

Soon afterward, Lucia left the courtyard while Isabella quietly followed Max toward his room inside the mansion.

After entering the room, Isabella immediately looked toward Max curiously.

”What happened?” she asked directly.

Max did not waste time afterward.

”I recruited two more members into the force,” he explained calmly.

Isabellaʼs eyes immediately brightened slightly after hearing that.

”Jonathan and Julie?” she asked almost instantly.

Max smiled faintly afterward.

”You guessed correctly.”

Then his expression gradually became more serious.

”They will officially enter the secret domain tonight at midnight.”

A thoughtful look appeared across Isabellaʼs face after hearing that.

Then she nodded lightly.

”That timing should work perfectly,” Isabella replied calmly. ”I already finished constructing a basic conference room inside the secret domain earlier.”

Hearing that immediately caused Max to smile slightly.

”Good,” he said while nodding.

Then suddenly, Max extended his hand toward Isabella.

”Now,” he continued calmly, ”extend your hand for a moment.”

Isabella blinked in confusion after hearing that.

Clearly, she did not understand what Max intended to do.

However, trusting him completely by now, she still slowly extended her hand toward him without questioning further.

The next instant, Max activated the Dimensional Sovereign Body silently.

Invisible dimensional power immediately gathered around his fingertips while faint spatial ripples spread throughout the room.

Then Max lightly touched Isabellaʼs palm.

A moment later, a mysterious silver-blue rune slowly began forming upon her hand.

The rune radiated faint dimensional fluctuations while intricate spatial patterns continuously shifted within it like flowing space laws.

Several seconds later, the rune completely stabilized.

Only then did Max withdraw his hand calmly.

Meanwhile, Isabella immediately lowered her gaze toward the strange rune now engraved upon her palm.

Her beautiful eyes instantly filled with curiosity.

”What exactly is this?” she asked while carefully inspecting the rune.

Max calmly explained afterward.

”This is a dimensional passage rune.”

His gaze gradually became serious.

”The rune acts as an access point connected directly to the Dimension of Genesis.”

Isabellaʼs eyes widened slightly after hearing that.

Then Max continued explaining calmly.

”If you channel your Divine Essence into the rune, it will automatically open a portal leading directly into the secret domain.”

A faint smile appeared on his face afterward.

”In other words…”

”You can now freely enter the Dimension of Genesis whenever necessary.”

After hearing Maxʼs explanation, Isabella lowered her gaze toward the dimensional rune on her palm once again.

Faint silver-blue light continued flowing quietly through the intricate patterns engraved upon her skin while subtle spatial fluctuations spread from it continuously.

The more she sensed the rune carefully, the more astonished she became.

Because she could clearly feel that the rune was genuinely connected to another independent space entirely.

This was far beyond ordinary spatial transportation methods.

Eventually, Isabella slowly nodded.

”This will be extremely useful,” she said honestly while a faint smile appeared across her face.

Her eyes gradually brightened slightly afterward.

”With this rune, communication and movement between members of the force will become far easier and much safer. Even if we are scattered across different places in the future, we can still gather inside the secret domain whenever necessary.”

A thoughtful expression appeared on her face afterward.

”And more importantly,” Isabella continued calmly, ”nobody outside the force would even know such a hidden domain exists.”

The more she thought about it, the more valuable the Dimension of Genesis seemed.

A completely hidden independent world capable of serving as headquarters for their growing organization was something many major forces throughout the Divine Realm would desperately desire.

Meanwhile, Max simply smiled faintly after hearing her words.

Clearly, Isabella had immediately understood just how important the Dimension of Genesis would become for them in the future.
