The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 236: Who is Athan?

" Tiana...I'm feeling very uneasy. "

" Me too...I feel like something happened to Athan. He...should be safe, right? "

Avelia and Tiana were sitting under a tree as the white gold energy was healing their injuries. They just came out after clearing a dual-mode dungeon, which was the most dangerous experience for them until now.

Even while fighting, They had uneasy feelings sprouting inside them.

Tiana grabbed Avelia's hand as her eyes turned into one that displayed total faith in Athan, " No matter what happens to him. He will be fine. I believe in him. "

" Mhmm...He will be fine. He is blessed with good things, and I'm sure he can handle himself. "

...

Sadly, Even though he was " blessed " with good things, His bad luck also increased. This increased tip towards bad luck was the consequence of him getting a second chance at life. His soul should have returned to the core of the universe, be washed a new and breath life into another living thing. But all that didn't happen due to the interference of Mimi's parents.

What a good coincidence for Athan that he got a second chance at life. He was happy and wanted to become strongest and also wanted to have revenge if possible.

He also got many extraordinary and mysterious things like the black whirlpool, Special space, etc., which helped him get stronger quickly.

But he knew that nothing was under his control. He got powerful things and advantages, and he also knew that he would have to face the consequences for that...but before he was prepared, here he was, In the darkness that was slowly eating away his powers into nothingness.

Athan's head and the body floated into the absolute darkness.

But he was not dead. He was alive and had consciousness. He could see the cracks above him that slowly got far from his sight. The helmet and armor, which was his geno frame, still covered his head and the body, but he could feel that his geno energy was slowly consuming.

" Why...why this happened? Mimi said she didn't know anything about what would happen after filling up the third branch, and she didn't sound fake. What went wrong? " Athan's eyes were filling with despair as he thought about how all of this happened.

Indeed, Mimi didn't know anything, and she even cried for Athan. Though Mimi's parents knew that it would be tough for Athan to survive here, it was not impossible since everyone gets a fair chance where he appeared after being sucked into the whirlpool.

It's just...he met someone who is destined to be a great person in the future. Maybe it was his destiny or Athan's destiny that led him in this situation.

" Is...t-this the end for me? " Athan couldn't help but cry. Tears fell off his face as he remembered the pain he had suffered until now to get strong. Even though he had good things, He also suffered unimaginable pain right from the start to get this far.

" Tiana...Avelia, I want to meet them. But...I can't...right? Why...WHYYYYY..."

*Shatter....*

" NO..NO...My powers...NOOOOOOOOOOO!! "

His Unima core shattered, and his energy realm was destroyed by the power of purple chains that seeped inside his body and started to destroy everything.

" WHYYYY! WHY DID I GET THE SECOND CHANCE? JUST TO GO THROUGH THIS JOURNEY OF PAIN AND HOPE....Before...before finally ending up here? Arghhhhhhhh...."

A soul tearing headache occurred as his genesis realm collapsed and the purple power of chains started to devour his soul.

*Silence.....*

The cracks created by the apparition of the purple monarch also disappeared as Athan simply turned silent and gave up. He was not dead yet, but....He would soon die. There was no way out for him now, and he knew that.

' ...Nothing...It looks like everything is gone. I am left with nothing...Perfect. Nothing I had was mine in the first place, except the pain and hope to make my own destiny and never to be controlled by others...hehe. What a joke. '

The darkness around him, which scared him to madness and despair before...was not as scary to him now, ' Just like this darkness...this darkness...filled with nothing. How similar to the current me. '

His soul body was currently tearing apart in the most painful way by the purple power of chains, but...He felt nothing.

But the tears once again filled his eyes because he truly lost the last hope he held before getting this second chance.

' So...I won't ever meet my parents after I die too...right?? Will I just...turn into nothing in this darkness? '

At least if he died in his first life, where he held the belief that he would meet his parents after dying, he wouldn't be in this much despair. But after getting a second chance, seeing a vast world and knowing about even vaster worlds, The supernatural powers, etc., and Finally, this darkness in which...he would turn into nothing. He knew that he wouldn't meet his parents now. He would just...die in the most horrible way possible, with not even a spec of his soul left.

' Why...do I deserve this? What did I do wrong to deserve this? '

The genome energy ran out, which caused his geno frame to disappear.

The heartbeat of his body was getting slower and slower while Athan was losing consciousness.

Athan's face, which was filled with tears and despair, formed the saddest smile possible, ' At least...people will remember me. '

' Sorry, Uncle and Aunt, I really wanted to meet you again and let you know that I am not dead. But it seems that I can't now. '

' Avelia and Tiana...Will they wait forever for me? Aahhh...How selfish of me to think something like that. '

' It's time...but...I am unwilling to be erased...'

' but...I also can't do anything. It looks like there's no...third chance. '

' Is there anything that comes after turning into nothingness? If so....'

' sigh...Maybe...turning into nothingness is not bad too...No pain, no hope, nothing. haa...what a...life it will be. '

The terrifying darkness everpresent in this place of nothingness consumed his bare body and head, which displayed his face that had changed into another expression from despair at the last moment.

...

At the same time, shocking and despairing things happened everywhere.

In the third layer...

Avelia and Tiana were traveling while sitting on a giant beast that looked like a manta ray. This giant manta ray-like beast had light pink and dark patterns on its body and had eight eyes and two giant antennas.

Both Avelia and Tiana, who were talking to each other, suddenly stopped talking as confusion filled their face.

" Athan...we are talking about Athan, right? " Tiana spoke with confusion and doubt.

Avelia had an uncertain expression on her face, " Yeah...Athan...But who is he?? "

Tiana shook her head, " I also don't know...Who is he? And why were we talking about him? "

Avelia and Tiana were scared because of this strange phenomenon. According to them, They had no recollection of this person called Athan. They have never met him or seen his face, so why were they talking about him?

" Sister Tiana, Let's not talk about it anymore and continue. We will ask for more details about this person called Athan when we meet up with Qerin and Mike. "

...

At the same time, Mike was fighting against a beast in the third layer and was thinking about how he would catch up with his bro and he gotta work hard for it but he suddenly stopped as a blank face appeared on his face.

The beast took this chance to attack Mike as Mike snapped out and barely dodge but he was still injured. Without holding back, Mike used his geno skill and finished off the beast before he sat down with an intense frown on his face.

" Bro...Who is my bro? His name is Athan but...Why I can't remember him? What the fuck is going on? "

...

In the legendary sector...

Senior Rishen was meditating on a beautiful mountain when he suddenly snapped his eyes open.

His eyebrows started to crease as a deep frown appeared on his face, ' Athan...Athan...Who...is this Athan? I am sure something is wrong here. '

He decided to do divination regarding this name, but he couldn't find anything. Such a person didn't exist according to this divination. The hazy imagine of Athan in his mind also disappeared entirely after a few seconds.

...

Inside the Ark Space...

Mimi was happily riding on the back of Skylord, " Giggle...You can't catch us. Hahaha..."

" You are cheating! You are empowering Skylord so that he can run fast. That's cheating! Just wait for master...Master? "

Lucent spoke in an upset tone, but at the end, his face turned into a confusing one, " Hey hey...Skylord, DeathKnight, and Silvestra...We have a master, right? But...why I suddenly can't remember him? "

DeathKnight frowned hard and nodded, " I'm sure we have a master, but...I also can't remember him or how he looks like. "

Mimi had a curious expression on her face as she asked, " What are you all talking about? "

" Mimi...You know our master, right? Your guardian brother. " Lucent asked with a hopeful expression.

Mimi showed a thoughtful and then a confused face before she shook her head, " guardian brother...I think I have a guardian brother, but I also can't remember him. "

Everyone who knew Athan...even Mimi's parents, Athan's uncle and aunt...Every single person...forgot Athan. The image of Athan's in their mind, their experience with him. Every single thing regarding Athan ceased to exist inside them.
