The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 430: A Certain Moment.

Max treated Athan to some food as they both ate for half an hour.

The food energized them and had some buff-like effects on them. For instance, Their body healing slightly increased, and their mind became more focused and active. Naturally, these effects were temporary and were not ground-breaking.

But suddenly, Everyone in the lobby paused for a moment before hurriedly taking out their black cards.

Max also did the same as he infused his soul sense into his black card to know the notification they all received.

[ The previous All-time high record of Hold the Fortress has been broken by Linci Crow. The current highest score has become 112,500. ]

" Dang...It looks like she is re-attempting all events to break the previous all-time high records. "

" Yeah, I guess she was not serious when she did events in her first attempt. "

...

Athan didn't know what was happening since he didn't receive any notification on his black card, but he guessed the situation from the people talking to each other.

" Hehehe, Athan. Will you break her record once again? It looks like today will really be a lively day. Two monsters breaking records left and right. " Max spoke after laughing.

Athan just faintly smiled as he took the cup of wine from the table while leaning on the chair carefreely.

Frankly, He just wanted to finish the events and meet some higher-up of Chaos Monolith Hills to ask about Great Bridgade Palace.

" By the way, Why do you keep wearing that mask? I want to see your face if you don't mind. " Max took this chance to ask this.

' He wouldn't reject this request, right? We even had a meal together, and it was on me. ' Thought Max as he looked at Athan with a smile.

Athan glanced at Max while drinking the wine and shook his head, " Nope. I've decided not to remove the mask until a certain moment arrives. "

" A certain moment? " Max repeated with confusion before asking, " When will it arrive? "

Athan emptied the glass of wine and put it on the table before speaking with a laugh, " Well, I don't know. But I wish it would come sooner than later. "

...

Several minutes passed by in silence as Athan had his eyes closed while waiting for his turn.

Max wanted to speak but didn't know where to start.

But suddenly, A slight commotion happened in the lobby.

Linci came out from a gothic-styled door with a plain expression, devoid of any emotion on her face.

Several people instantly created distance from her as She walked towards the exit.

Linci had an indifferent look on her face since she was used to this situation. People would flock towards her seeing her beauty and try their luck, but none of them would be able to stay for even one minute near her. After that, they would avoid her as if she was some sort of plague.

But as her gaze swept past the lobby, she paused her footsteps. Changing her direction, She walked towards one of the tables where two people sat.

Max's face changed as he started to sweat and stood up from the table. Meanwhile, Athan still had his eyes closed as he leaned on the chair leisurely.

" Congratulations, Athan. "

Athan opened one of his eyes and saw Linci before he smiled, " Thanks, You too. "

Linci faintly smiled and nodded, " Good luck with the next events. "

A Simple, Short, and brief exchange.

She then walked towards the exit before leaving the event lobby.

Athan also closed his eye once again.

It was silent in the lobby for a few moments before everyone started to talk to each other furiously.

Max sat down on the table once again as he looked at Athan with curiosity, " Do you know her, Athan? Since you two broke the record of Slaughter in Space one by one, You might have met her in the lobby there, right? "

" Yep. " Athan spoke without opening his eyes or moving his head.

" Do you know about her condition? Sigh, It's truly a pity. She is such a beauty, but..." Max sighed as he shook his head.

" Anyway, What do you know about her? Currently, All I know is that her origins are mysterious, and a higher-up of Chaos Monolith Hills brought her here from somewhere. " Pausing there, Max put up a barrier around them and spoke, " I know a piece of inside information since A Hill Decon is my relative here. "

Athan opened one of his eyes as he looked at Max, " Inside information about what? Her? "

Max nodded as he grinned, " Yep. I heard from my uncle that she is actually from Upper Chaosverse. Her family is related to the main headquarters of Chaos Monolith Hills in the Upper Chaosverse. "

" Mhmm..." Athan nodded as he opened both of his eyes before grinning, " I am more interested in Upper Chaosverse. What do you know about it? I heard from someone that it's actually a dangerous place. " A gleam passed through his eyes as he asked this.

" Well, It's indeed more dangerous than here. But It's a much more mystical place. The rules and order that are created here are actually from beings of Upper Chaosverse. It's considered the real Chaosverse, while this one here is pocket Chaosverse created by powerful existence for those who ascend here from Universes. "

Athan raised his eyebrows in doubt at that, " But I heard that the earliest people here learned everything by themselves after arriving here from universes? "

Max unhurriedly nodded with a smile, " That's true. But everything is set up by powerful existences, just like how Universes were created from an order set of Chaosverses. This place is also full of order sets from powerful existences, which makes it a stable place.

The earliest ascenders first arrived here, found a way to get stronger by observing chaos phenomenons continually, and created their paths by unseen guidance from ancient organizations. It's just like how things gradually happen in higher-axiom universes after It's Universe Will gain sentience and full control of the power of laws. Those wills of universes indirectly help the beings birthed there get stronger with unseen guidance. "

" I see..." Athan nodded as he thought for a few moments about it.

He then asked if he knew anything important about Upper Chaosverse.

But Max helplessly smiled and shook his head, " I don't know much about it except some useless things. Anyway..."

" I plan to survive until I hit the limit here and go to the Upper Chaosverse to see a new world and experience its thrills. Hahaha. " Max spoke with a smile before laughing.

*Keech...*

Suddenly, Athan felt a signal from his black card took it out before standing up.

" It's time. " Saying this, Athan walked towards one of the gothic-looking doors from which a person just came out.

" Good luck, Athan. "

' I...don't need luck. ' Athan thought as he entered the gothic door.
