The Tale of the Void Emperor

"Psycho bastard, stop chasing me already! You\'ve been fucking chasing me for a whole day now! Given your strength, you can easily collect more Evagon-grade natural resources here!" said the shark-head birdman.

Arcued had an angry expression as he spoke while chasing, "I will not give up chasing you, and once I catch you, you are going to die!"

"Stop dreaming, Psycho! By now, you should have realized that your speed is slower than mine. You can never catch me," said the shark-head birdman while sweating internally, \'how long is that bastard planning to chase me?\'

The matter at hand was that Arcued finished killing a chaos beast in a cave. Still, before he could take the evagon-grade natural treasure in the cave, this shark-head birdman arrived and stole the treasure.

The difference between them was 1 kilometer right now.

Arcued had an order technique that could hit 1 kilometer away, but...after arriving at upper-chaosverse, all of their order techniques and powers were suppressed to an extent.

Arcued\'s soul sense could easily sense ten kilometers around him when he was in the Midgard continent. However, after arriving here, that distance barely passed 1 kilometer.

Another day passed, but Arcued still chased that shark-head birdman and didn\'t let him out of his sensors.

"Psyco!! I am telling for your own sake! Leave me alone and search for other treasures! By now, you would have found three more natural resource treasures with your strength."

...

"Why is Arcued still inside? Everyone aside from Athan should be able to come out since we only need to submit three resources and be done with this event," Tealery asked with doubt.

"I also don\'t know, and unfortunately, our contact cards don\'t receive calls inside," Theo said with a wry smile.

"It\'s been three days since we entered the event, and we all came out yesterday after submitting three treasures. Given that, Arcued should be done with his work considering his strength as well. But...could he have met some accident?" said the eldest Nimpere brother.

"T-this...no," Tealery shook her head repeatedly before saying," nothing can happen to Arcued. I am sure he is fine."

"Yeah, he should be fine," Theo nodded.

"If you want to earn some easy money, then let\'s go to the central plaza in the nearby trading post. We can go there through the cosmic teleportation portal," said dean Lenix.

"Yeah, let\'s go," Tiana nodded, "Athan will take more time inside the force-treasure dimension because of his plan."

"We four will stay here and wait for lord Athan," Tamiril said.

"Alright, then let\'s go, Lenix. These kids are already quite powerful, so they might be able to complete some challenges of Evagon-rank and earn low-tier ken-stones for starter, hahaha," head Zangrel said with a loud laugh.

...

Inside a certain location in the Force-treasure dimension...

Athan was moving carefreely, and he had also activated his void robe and void mask so no one could sense his aura or gauge his battle power. Naturally, he was playing a wolf in sheep\'s skip.

In these three days, he had gathered fifteen Evagon-rank natural treasures. Naturally, he didn\'t submit them but put them inside his void region.

"Primo, where\'s the next location with high energy readings?"

"Nyaa, It\'s straight ahead in this direction," Primo said while pointing the tiny paws in a direction.

"Let\'s go! Our goal is to collect thousand natural treasures," Athan said with a devilish grin on his face.

"Nyahaha, let\'s go!"

After a while, they arrived at the location sensed by Primo.

"Master, there\'s a big boy inside this mountain, and the treasure is also inside," Primo said.

"Big boy? How big is that boy?" Athan said with an interesting expression before he extended his soul sense below as his lips curved into a small smile, "Well, well, the boy is indeed quite big."

Athan flew right on top of the mountain as his right leg started shining.

Silver-gold patterns with dark brown vein-like designs instantly became visible on his right leg as he decided to execute the second step of Death, Death by Hell Shred.

Afterward, the leg started burning in dark-red hellish flames.

"Nyaa, Master, I doubt this attack would damage that big boy below that much."

Athan faintly smiled before saying, "I know. I can apply the applications of my order techniques in abyssal darkness, which is far better than simply using abyssal darkness to attack directly. However, I don\'t want to kill the big boy down below yet."

Instead of simply using abyssal darkness to attack directly, he can condense it into a ball and use it like a condensed orb of abyssal darkness, which would obviously deal more damage. Just like that, order techniques are far more complicated mechanics that brings out even more power from chaotic powers than simply using them directly. So Athan can bring out even more damage from his abyssal darkness if he used it in his order techniques.

That\'s why he focused more on order techniques instead of chaotic power\'s effects. All of the body chaotic powers he chose are absolute strengthening that upgrades his body\'s overall strength.

"Anyway, I want to check my body strength because the big boy down there seems like it might be able to push my body to the limits," Athan said as he moved his leg in a down-cut motion.

From his leg, tremendous physical force in the form of the order technique, Death by Hell Shred, released downward.

The attack was a two-meter-long slash that was spinning with dark-red flames around it.

The slash hit the mountain and pierced it as it continued below while melting the mountain.

*roarrrrrrrrrrrrr....*

*crack...*

Suddenly, the whole mountain broke apart as a giant that was two thousand meters tall came out from the mountain.

It had a single large horn and a single large eye.

"It\'s coming."

The monster waved its large right hand, which started shining with red-gold patterns towards Athan to attack.

Seeing it, Athan activated turned his Body Armament into solid form and also activated his Body order domain, Absolute Tyrandrin.

*BOOOOOOOOOM...*

The large slap hit Athan as some cracks appeared on his body armament, but they healed rapidly before Athan tried to stop the forceful motion of his body that was pushing him to the side due to the slap.

Athan gritted his teeth as his expression slowly turned into a large grin because he finally stopped the power of this monster\'s slap.

The monster looked at the ant with confusion, \'It managed to diffuse my power?\'

Suddenly, it felt a slight stinging pain because Athan penetrated both of his hands into the large palm of the monster.

"Big boy, get ready to fly," Athan said as he exerted all of his physical body\'s strength and also consumed a majority of his Evagon-force to exert his Body order domain\'s power.

"Arghhhhhhhhhhh," Athan shouted as he exerted all of his power, his body turned fifty meters tall giant, before turning into 5 centimeters small in an instance.

His physical power instantly increased by many folds as the monster felt an immovable force on itself.

Athan then flew high while carrying the giant monster who struggled but to no avail.

Two people nearby saw a giant chaos troll flying in the sky with a dumbfounded expression, "What the fu..."

"S-someone is fuking forcefully pulling that troll! Damn, who the hell is that?"
