Going to the Source of Knowledge with Asha and Lila, Maximus quickly reunited with his family.
"You're back? How did the experiment go? Did it succeed?"
Seeing Maximus return, they were a bit surprised. Knowing his nature, he usually wouldn't stop until he completed whatever he set his mind to.
"Yes, it's done. The Production Machine for the Ring of Origin is finished."
"That's great! Now you don't have to work so hard anymore!"
"It's been tough on you, Father. You finally created an alternative."
Hearing of Maximus's success, his family sighed in relief.
Watching Maximus generate countless Rings of Origin like a numb machine deeply worried them.
How difficult it must have been to repeat the same task, over and over again, for hundreds of thousands of years without rest.
Unlike them, who were merging with Seeds of Path into the Source of Knowledge, Maximus wasn't gaining any insight or advancement from the work.
He was simply grinding, endlessly, like a machine.
