The Tale of the Void Emperor

Athan gave them five minutes to think carefully as he simply looked at them carefreely while leaning back on his throne.

"I...I am willing to co-operate with you."

"Me too."

"Even if you are not an Anarchy Lord, you possess the same level of power since you managed to defeat that avatar of Anarchy Lord Nixin," Vinery said as her eyes showed some hesitation before she buckled up and spoke with determination, "we will work with you, but I hope you can use your strength to bring us some benefits as well." 

"As long as I am satisfied, then I can help you. Since you decided to work for me, I won\'t treat you badly unless you do something that irks me," Athan said with a grin, "now start telling me about this world."

"Atha...um," Vinery spoke but paused as she remembered that Athan was called void emperor in Orchos Firmament, so she decided to go with that, "Void Emperor, we should discuss this at my palace in the city instead of doing it here."

"Fine, let\'s go," Athan said with a nod before he asked, "do organizations station their people here to recruit people who come from lower worlds?"

"Yes," Vinery nodded, "there are other worlds like Orchos Firmament under Okulus Zone. People from those worlds arrive here in Ascendecy Area of Okulus zone, so organizations of Okulus zones have their people here to recruit them."

"I see. Well, then, let\'s be on our way," Athan said before thinking, \'I can sense Lily and others, but for now, I shouldn\'t interact with them and let them settle down since many organizations should be here to recruit them.\'

...

When Athan arrived at Outrious Expanse, the woman Staercia, who had the power of Infinite Void of Absolute Stasis, observed Athan along with the other five beings and saw the whole thing before she entered into the Origin AVOF realm.

"Your beloved Master and companion, Athan, is finally in the Outrious Expanse, hehehe, do you want to meet him?"

Everyone suddenly heard this voice and saw a large projection of the woman inside Origin AVOF realm.

"Athan is here? What do you mean?" Tiana asked with a frown. She still didn\'t know the existence of Outrious Expanse like others. Even the voidlings didn\'t know since they were inside the origin AVOF realm the whole time since their birth.

"He is in the Outrious Expanse," Staercia smiled before she told them about the world and everything for half an hour before finally revealing her goal of coming here.

"Now that you know about the Outrious Expanse and that Athan is here. I am planning to send you all out. Naturally, you will become core members of different forces under my rule and won\'t be allowed to meet Athan."

"But...he can come to look for you as I slowly remove the isolation field around you."

"However, with the isolation field around you, he won\'t be able to locate you, and it\'s up to me who to reveal to Athan first among you," Staercia said with a grin.

Hearing that, Tiana and others were startled but also hopeful.

"Can we also go outside?" 

"Yes, yes, we want to go outside and meet our Master."

The voidlings started speaking as they were excited to meet their Master.

"Nope, you can\'t," Saercia said while shaking her head, "you can only go out once Athan integrates this origin AVOF realm in his void region. If I let you out right now, you all will be hunted by Fear plane powerhouses."

"Nyaaa! Why must we be hunted? We will hunt them instead!" Primo said with an angry hiss.

"Silly cat, you can\'t hunt them. You have the same level of power as them, but their numbers are greater, and they have profound techniques to beat you easily. You are new beings birthed by the thoughts of your Master and his influence on his AVOF realm. You all haven\'t matured yet to have your own profound techniques of that level."

"As for you all," Staercia looked at Tiana and the group before waving her hand, "It\'s time to go out and become stronger on your own under my different organizations. I will reveal one of you to Athan after a year."

"What about the second person?" Linci asked, "when will you reveal the second person among us to Athan?"

Staercia smiled and shook her head, "I haven\'t decided that, sweetie. It\'s up to Athan\'s progress and how he moves."

"Now off you go," Staercia waved her hand as Tiana, Avelia, Sen, Shiromi, Linci, Drizzly, Tealery, Arcued, Mike, Qerin, Theo, Nimpere brothers, dean Lenix, dean Zangrel, Zorgia, Tamiril, Yoha, Foujir, and Gouken disappeared.

After they left, all voidlings gathered together and looked at Staercia.

"Those who have resonated and planted the source seed of your power in them should occasionally aid them through your connection with them to increase their progress," Staercia said.

The voidling Phor, who looked like a Phoenix but with explosive red-orange various bombing patterns on its body, spoke with a snort, "we will do that even if you didn\'t say that."

A humanoid voidling with five silver blades at his waist and looking like a samurai spoke, "would you remove this isolation around our realm so we can contact Master and aid him like before as Primo and Taezin did?"

Staercia narrowed her eyes before she smiled, "fine. However, your powers will be limited to the same level as your Master\'s. And...

"If you reveal the truth to your master, I will kill him and his companions, got it?" 

Staercia\'s voice became several degrees colder as she finished her sentence, making every voidling shiver a bit.

"For the sake of your Master, you should seal your lips about certain things," Staercia said with a smile.

"Humph, fine," Taezin said with a snort, "but I swear my Master will spank your ass once he is able to do so."

"Hahaha," Staercia chuckled as she started to turn faint, "if he reaches my level, then sure. I will give him a chance to do that."
