Chapter 676 - Better Solution.
"I will help you as much as I can, Athan," Lily said with determined eyes before she faintly smiled, "the only purpose I had was to meet you, and it\'s completed. Now I don\'t know what to do, so...can I accompany you on your journey?"
"Brother Athan, let\'s stay together from now on like before," Mimi spoke with puppy eyes, "pretty please?"
Lucky, Skylord, Lucent, DeathKnight, and Silvestra also looked at Athan. They had stayed with Mimi and Lily for many years and also wanted their Master to stay with them like before.
Seeing them, Athan smiled and patted Mimi\'s head, "alright. Let\'s see your sisters and others together."
"Yey!!"
"Athan, I have added you in the control holder of this Ark space as well. Now you can enter here and leave at will as long as I am a hundred meters near you," Lily said with a smile before she sighed, "If I could give you the entire control of this Ark of Exordium and make you its Master, I would have done it since you were its previous Master but...I am not strong enough to remove its ownership yet."
"No need. I don\'t need any external factors to rely on," Athan shook his head before speaking with sharp eyes, "from now on, I will only use powers that belong only to me and only use things that I create."
He then stood up and said, "now I\'ll go outside and finish my unfinished business."
Athan had felt the familiar connection with the ark space since he was once its owner. So, he left the ark space with a thought as he appeared inside the ruined palace.
"Yo, what are you all discussing?"
Everyone had formed a circle and were talking, so suddenly hearing the devil\'s voice scared the shit out of them.
They all looked at Athan warily before Dreevindo stepped up towards Athan.
"Ahem, Athan. We have found a solution, and with it, you will get more than you want," Dreevindo openly said before he sounded transmitted to Athan, "ATHAN! This solution is actually feasible, and you will like it more!"
Suddenly, Lily also appeared, causing everyone to get startled and wary again.
However, she didn\'t say anything and just stood beside Athan, making her stance clear.
"Interesting," said Athan with a faint smile before he asked, "so? What is the solution? You do know that I need to devour two souls at the candidate level."
"cough...the solution is very good," Lingardim spoke with a cough before looking at the pixie-fairy Orchos Celestial, Aby.
Aby flew in front of Athan and stopped five meters away from him before she took out a mystical glowing orb.
"This glowing orb is created with my genome power. It\'s a pure soul manifestation origin orb," Aby said before she smiled, "the plan is that every single candidate powerhouse here will give 5% of their pure origin soul power and infuse it into this orb."
"This orb will perfectly mold those pure origin soul power, and the benefit you will from it will surely outweigh two entire souls of two people here."
"How is it? Pretty good, right?" Dreevindo said with a smile.
"Humph, you can be as content as you want while you are here," Celestial Sirius spoke with a cold snort, "once you come to Orchos Firmament, I will not let you live."
"Start counting your days and enjoy while you are here," said the Bunny Celestial woman as well before she and Celestial Sirius disappeared.
"Forget about them. Since we found a solution for you, then I hope you can stop with your carnage," Lingardim said with a wry smile.
"Sure," Athan nodded with a grin, "I want to see every single of them here take out 5% of their pure origin soul power and infuse it into the orb."
"No problem, no problem, hahaha," Dreevindo said as he laughed loudly, "although it will damage their soul a bit, they can recover it in five years easily and can speed up the process with peak-grade resources since it\'s just 5% for them. But for you, it\'s a lot."
The other candidate-level powerhouses hurridly nodded with some sweat on their faces because they were more than willing to lose 5% of their origin soul rather than their life.
Athan internally nodded as he actually felt that this solution they found was great. He would definitely benefit more from this.
Afterward, all powerhouses came one by one and poured 5% of their origin soul power.
One by one, they came and left with a painful expression as losing their origin soul power is literally like cutting a tiny piece of their soul.
After ten minutes, all fifty-one powerhouses finished participating in this.
Aby then floated towards Athan with the orb that had now turned colorful from initial white.
"Athan, it will take some time before this orb can perfectly mold these soul origin power into one-"
"No need," Athan interrupted Aby as he took the orb and directly devoured it before saying, "I can refine them."
After saying that, he disappeared and entered inside the ark space.
Lily also disappeared and entered inside as she saw Athan sitting crossed-legged on the ground.
"Meow~I can feel Master\'s soul getting stronger again. This time, it\'s way more than before," Lucky spoke as the cute white cat floated in front of Athan.
"Well yeah," Lily nodded with a wry smile, "he is absorbing soul origin power of fifty-one candidate level powerhouses. Although it\'s 5% from each one, the total is 255%."
After ten minutes, Athan opened his eyes as a satisfied smile appeared on his face, \'although I need to stabilize a bit, my soul has successfully reached its limit for now. Hmmm, now I need to stabilize first and come up with my own path.\'
"Lily..." Athan spoke before he suddenly remembered something and looked at Mimi and Huarin sitting together at the table not too far away.
"What happened, brother Athan," Mini asked with a happy grin. She was really happy that her brother Athan was together with her again and got her memories of him that she was lacking.
"Nothing," Athan shook his head with a smile. However, he sent an important sound transmission to Lily.
\'Lily, you said that Mimi\'s parents didn\'t tell her about their revenge plan and removed some of her memories, right?\'
\'Yes,\' Lily nodded before she asked, \'what happened? did you want to know something? If so, you can ask me because Mimi\'s parents told me everything. Before dying, they left messages, telling me their entire situation. However, their only wish was to let Mimi live a happy life.\'
\'I want to know about Mimi\'s enemies. They live in Orchos Firmament, and they might find us as well. However, I want to know about them because...they are also my enemies,\' Athan replied as a cold gleam passed through his eyes.
\'Your enemies?\' Lily asked with doubt.
\'You were not alive at that time, but when I returned to Earth after ascending to Chaosverse, the Earth\'s situation had drastically changed.. Billions of people died, and among them were my uncle and aunt,\' said Athan before he gritted his teeth slightly, \'the culprits behind that situation were Mimi\'s enemies because they found Mimi\'s parents\' trail and arrived at there.\'
