Looking at the Etherforge Reactor before him, a smile appeared on his face.

"The resources of the empire would finally be free..."

Although Maximus was rich, with hundreds of quintillions of dimensional coins in his bank, the cost of raising an empire was still significant.

Initially, the Moonlight Empire only had trillions of people and not much expenses.

A few billion dimensional coins equivalent to a few quadrillion crystal credits were enough to run his empire for years with a lot of surpluses.

Maximus even had the budget to build extravagant things for the entertainment of his family.

Now, with tens of quadrillion citizens, the budget didn't multiply by tens or hundreds of times but increased a billionfold.

Maximus needed to pay about a quintillion dimensional coins every year out of his own pocket just to run the empire.

The Empire is being built from scratch.
