The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 233: The Beginning and The Plan

" I miss Athan...I wonder where he is right now? "

" Probably second layer. With all the advantages we have over other people, with Athan having the best ones, The unlimited energies and the special space, He is sure to advance faster than us. "

" Say, Tiana, will we meet him in the second layer? We are close to reaching the peak of the trinity source plane and will be able to break through in two or so months and reach the Law Idol Plane. "

Tiana nodded with a longing expression, " I\'m sure we will meet him in the second layer. Even with his advantages, he can\'t possibly jump to the first layer so fast. "

Avelia also nodded with hope as her eyes lit up, " Right. Then we should continue and find some trials or dungeons to get the rewards. I can\'t wait to meet him. It\'s been almost three years since we were together. "

...

Tiana and Avelia met each other a year ago, and since then, they were moving together because people are allowed to team up in this layer.

Two and a half years ago, When Athan entered the chambers of dooms, He could enter with his team, but since he was alone, Two random people joined instead.

Even now, Athan is stuck at that place filled with darkness and cooped up in the special space as he constantly filled up the third branch of his genome tree.

Inside the special space...

Athan eagerly looked at the third branch of his genome tree that was almost 100% filled.

" Just a little bit..." Athan muttered as he extracted the final amount of geno power required from the whirlpool as it got directly absorbed by the third branch and filled up the tiny corner of the branch.

*Shine...*

The third branch lit up in a mysterious purple glow, just like the first and second branches but...this time, one more thing happened.

Right after the third branch lit up, The entire genome tree also started to lit up, and more shockingly, The Ark, Which was silent until now, trembled intensely.

Athan was suddenly filled with the feeling of uneasiness, but he didn\'t know what to do. He simply had no power or knowledge regarding this mysterious genome power and the Ark.

The Ark suddenly left Athan\'s soul realm and appeared outside in the special space.

Athan looked at the Ark as It started to let out a strange sound.

Mimi noticed this instantly as she also arrived there.

The feeling of uneasiness inside Athan was growing as he hurridly asked Mimi, " Do you know what\'s going on? "

Mimi shook her head, " I don\'t know, guardian brother. "

Just at this moment, A purple whirlpool grew big inside his soul realm and disappeared before it came outside with intense pulling force that only applied to Athan.

In just one second, Athan was sucked inside the purple whirlpool and disappeared.

The Ark shined in even more black light as it spread to every corner of the special space before...nothing left.

The mountains, the houses, Athan\'s altar spirits, Mimi, everything...disappeared.

...

Inside one of the higher axiom universe...

In the dark space that spanned to unknown length, A dark globe was present. It was mixed with space itself, and without any powerful detection or special abilities, no one would discover it.

The dark globe was not of planet size, but only the size of a 10-kilometer radius.

Though inside the dark globe was a different scenery. There were beautiful plains of grass, tree, and mountains with water bodies such as ponds and waterfalls.

It didn\'t look like this space had a size of just a ten-kilometer radius.

At one of the waterfalls where beautiful arrays of flowers were present, A house was built near the coast of the river.

A man and a woman were sitting crossed-legged just outside the house on a shining mattress with inscribed patterns. Their features looked similar to humans, but they were of a different race.

The man and woman both had a gemstone on their forehead, just like Mimi.

The man suddenly opened his eyes as if he sensed something and said to his wife, " Kelly. It\'s time. That human soul has completed its purpose. "

Hearing that, The woman named Kelly opened her eyes with a bright smile on her face, " Really?! We can finally meet our daughter again. "

The man also smiled and nodded before standing up and stretching his right hand forward as he made a slashing motion with his hand.

Instantly, Everything started to fall apart and disappeared. The dark globe also disappeared as the man and woman appeared in the black expanse of the space.

After that, The man closed his eyes as he seemed to be using some kind of ability using his soul.

" Honey, That soul wouldn\'t have removed your brand from the Ark of Exordium after he activated it, right? "

Kelly spoke out her concern regarding their plan. Denkris shook his head with a stable smile as if everything was under control, " Don\'t worry, I can still sense both of my brands. We needed a human to activate the Ark and a weak human at that so that he can\'t erase my brands. That\'s why we ran to the lowest universe and picked a random soul there. There is no way he can remove my brands from the Ark. Mimi should\'ve urged that human to fill the third branch of the genome tree, which is the condition to call back the Ark and....I have already called it back. "

Right after he finished saying that, A space tear appeared from which the Ark came out.

The genome power was not something that just anyone could use, But there was a shortcut to access that power to start train in it, and it was the Ark of Exordium.

The will of this universe was internally crying in pain as its core was forcefully torn open. The will of this universe looked like a middle-aged man. He was observing the couple with eyes that were only filled with one thing. FEAR.

The couple knew about this, but they didn\'t give two hoots to the will of this universe. Instead, Kelly had a somewhat guilty expression as she sighed, " I still feel bad to deceive Mimi about this. What will we answer when she asked us to explain all of this? Like what happened to his so-called guardian brother, whose mission was to protect her? "

Denkris steeled his face and said, " We didn\'t have any choice. Only our innocent Mimi can earn his trust, and he would believe in her. " Suddenly, hate started to fill his eyes, " Don\'t forget that only with the Ark of Exordiam can we have a chance to take our revenge on the Fiorel Star Empire that destroyed our clan. We managed to acquire the Ark of the Exordium, but that stupid condition that only humans can activate the Ark was our real block. "

Kelly nodded and sighed, " The previous owner must be a human. That\'s the only explanation for that condition. Anyway, Since the Ark is activated, Let\'s hurridly enter inside. I want to meet my daughter. "

After they got the Ark, They were constantly pursued by the forces of the Fiorel Star Empire and Druiworent Empire, so Denkris and Kelly had to run while not being able to use the Ark of Exordium since they couldn\'t activate it.

They hurriedly started to plan such that their daughter could be safe at some other place and also figure out a way to activate the Ark while they attract the attention of the forces of those two empires.

So they descended to the lowest universe and picked a weak human soul from it after thinking of this whole plan.

Inside the special space...

Mimi, Lucky, Lucent, DeathKnight, Skylord, and Silvestra were panicking after Athan disappeared.

Mimi started crying, " Mama and Papa didn\'t say that something like this would happen. What should I do? It\'s my fault that my guardian brother disappeared. "

" I can\'t sense any sort of connection with Master!! " DeathKnight suddenly shouted after he noticed that his connection with Athan disappeared.

" What!...Y-you are right. I also can\'t sense any connection with Master. "

Lucent and Skylord also cried out, and Silvestra also failed to sense the soul connection it had with Athan.

At this moment, Denkris and Kelly appeared inside the special space, which was in reality known as Ark Space. The moment they appeared, The whole atmosphere of the Ark space changed tremendously as primal energy and all other kinds of energy ceased to exist. Instead, something more powerful permeated the air.

" Mimi, my daughter! "

Mimi, who was crying, suddenly looked up with a shocked expression that was soon filled with happiness, " Mama and...papa? How did you appear here? "

But her look soon turned into a sad one, " But...I did as you told me, and the guardian brother disappeared. What happened to him? "

Kelly\'s expression turned unnatural, but she still formed a smile, " Don\'t worry, Your guardian brother is safe. He had fulfilled his mission to protect you and now is at a place where he can get stronger to protect you better.? "

" Oh..." Mimi\'s worries were swept with that as she soon introduced her friends to her parents joyfully. She had total faith in her parents.

Lucky, Skylord, Lucent, and others were also relieved after hearing the explanation about Athan.

" So Master was sent to another place to get stronger? Phew...I almost thought he died since I couldn\'t sense my connection to him. "

Denkris internally thought as he wished good luck to Athan, \' Don\'t blame me, kid, I gave a second chance to such a weakling like you for this purpose. I hope you can survive in that place for my innocent daughter who...might forever wait for you. \'
