That's how long it took Max to completely get the destructive aura leaking from his body under control.
With a resilient mind and an unyielding will, Max managed to slowly discern the desires that were placed in his mind by the seed of destruction from the voice of his own consciousness.
Becoming immune to the seed's trickery, slowly but surely Max managed to get his mindset return back to normal as he was not overwhelmed with the constant desire to destroy things and beings around him.
