The Tale of the Void Emperor

"Cough, cough....what the hell happened?"

"We are under damn attack! Get ready to defend and retaliate."

"But I don\'t see anyone attacking us! What\'s going on?"

Athan arrived in front of them since he was far away when he attacked, and everyone started to suffocate due to the faint pressure that Athan intentionally released.

He found the leader and waved his right hand\'s palm, Corporeal Execution!

*BOOM...*

The leader\'s body was destroyed before Athan pulled his soul into his void region and put it under torture, just like the other soul of that person from Orchos Firmament who threatened him.

Everyone was dumbfounded seeing their leader dying instantly.

"Please let us go!!"

"Don\'t kill us, please!"

"Yes, yes! We will become your servants and do anything you say to us. So, please don\'t kill us!"

Athan raised his eyebrows before he grinned, "so none of you want to take revenge for your leader?"

"Screw him! We are all bound by interest! We followed him because he was a schemer and had great connections to powerful people."

"Yeah, yeah!"

"Please don\'t kill us; we will work for you! We can do all types of work. You can use us to do dirty deeds as well so your name won\'t be sullied."

Athan shook his head before waving his hand, "I don\'t need you."

*Swooooooooosh....*

A powerful shockwave with a black aura hit them before they were killed into nothingness.

Afterward, Athan left and arrived back at the Upper Chaosverse.

He first Yone, Tronel, and others as they were now powerful Chaos Paragons.

Inside one of the Palace, Yone, Tronel, Samira, and Aakerin were talking at the table and were startled when Athan suddenly appeared in front of them.

"A...Athan?" Yone stood up with a dumbfounded face.

Athan smiled and nodded.

"Hahaha!" Yone loudly? laughed as he patted Athan\'s shoulder and said jokingly, "I thought you forgot about us."

"Athan, you\'ve changed considerably since we last saw you," Aakerin said with a smile, "You look taller and muscular than before you."

"I\'ll call everyone," Tronel said with a grin, "Linci\'s parents are here as well. Actually, they have created a separate organization, and we are working with them."

"Btw Athan, we suddenly received a huge boost some fourteen years ago. That should be your doing, right? Hahaha, since then, we\'ve been making progress by leaps and bounds, and in just fourteen years, we went from Chaos King to Chaos Paragon."

"Indeed," Aakerin smiled with excitement in her eyes, "our souls and comprehension ability are increasing each day as we increase our limits by breaking through. The only limit we have is the resources."

Athan smiled and nodded, "well, you still have a long way to go, but I will be waiting for you at the top."

"What is the top? You found it?" Yone asked with curiosity.

"Not yet," Athan shook his head with a wry smile, "however, above this place is Orchos Firmament and Orchos Firmament is actually a tiny part of a vaster, more powerful world called Outrious Expanse."

"Once people breakthrough from Legendary and reach a higher state of existence, they go out of Orchos Firmament and into Outrious Expanse," said Athan with a smile, "I am going to Outrious Expanse in a month since I have reached the absolute limit of strength in Orchos Firmament."

"Damn! I wonder how powerful you are right now," Yone punched Athan as he spoke with a wide grin.

At this moment, Chunshi, Joza-Eile, Leib, Samira, and Linci\'s parents arrived with Tronel.

"Athan! Did you...did you find Linci?" Elena asked with hesitation.

Athan turned silent for a second before shaking his head. Seeing that, Elena\'s face became increasingly worried.

"Don\'t worry," Athan spoke with determination, "I will find them soon. I feel like I am very close to them."

Gaarshil looked at Athan as he nodded with a somber expression, "we trust you."

"Athan, we heard about that incident," Samira spoke with a severe expression, "however, we believe that you can save them. We want to meet Shiromi as well, so you better save them all."

Chunshi, the eldest sister type, arrived in front of Athan and hugged him before saying gently, "I know you\'ve also been missing them since they are obviously very important to you. We don\'t know your inner struggles, but we will always believe that you can do anything that you set out to do. So you will definitely save them."

Athan closed his eyes for a moment before he opened them and nodded with a smile, "of course. I will save them. No matter where they are, I will reach there at any cost."

Leib, Joza-Eile, Yone, Linci\'s parents, and others talked with Athan as Athan also told them about some things regarding Orchos Firmament before leaving after half an hour.

After five days, Athan arrived back at the place where Lily had stationed the Ark in the 6th Lerento of Orchos Firmament and entered inside the Ark space.

After entering, he saw that all four of them were far away from each other than a vast amount of profound forces were gathered around her as they sat crossed-legged amidst those forces and floated.

"It looks like they are still breaking through," Athan muttered before he also decided to close his eyes and further comprehend the AVOF through the connection in his soul.

In the past fourteen years, he had made 3% progress on top of perfecting his body and other things. So he was now 58% understanding of AVOF.

...

On the other hand, Tiana, Avelia, Sen, Shiromi, Linci, Drizzly, Tealery, Arcued, Qerin, Mike, Theo, Nimpere brothers, dean Lenix, dean Zangrel, Zorgia, Tamiril, Yoha, Foujir, Gouken had finished training in the first stage of their powers.

"Nyaa! Since you all have learned the first level in your respective powers, then now it\'s time...battle! You all have powers but have yet to create techniques tailor-made for you. But you will have to create them yourself," Primo said with a wide smile.

"Hehe, for that, we will go to the battle zone! That\'s also where we voidlings fight all the time and create techniques suitable to us," Taezin said with a wide monkey grin, "our bodies are different and how we course energy through them is also different, so you can\'t learn our techniques. You have to make techniques yourselves."

"Once you all create a single technique that can bring 150% power from your raw power attacks, we will move to the 2nd level," The Book said before a pair of glasses appeared on its page, "I will be measuring the power of your techniques. It can be attack-type, defense-type, mystic-type, or any kind of technique; I can measure if they are 150% of your basic use of power or not."

Tiana and others listened carefully before nodding their heads.

"Let\'s go! I am going to create the most powerful offensive technique so I can erase anyone blocking our Emperor\'s path!" Arcued said with fervor.

"Cough...mind if we brothers make some seducing techniques? We really need them, right brothers?"

"Right, right."
