The Tale of the Void Emperor

The joker-like being was looking at Tiana and others as he fell into thought. After a moment, he muttered, "Hmmm. First, I will select the best one out of them and then sell this information to some other Orchos Celestials. Anyway, since I have masked them, others won't be able to sense them," said the Joker before he started laughing.

"I really need to thank that shorty. If I didn't keep a close eye on him and found his trace here with my specialty, I wouldn't have stumbled upon these individuals—Hehehe, who would've thought that I would find such a bunch in this corner?"

Suddenly, the joker-like being made a 'ops' sound and disappeared before he arrived at the very top of this large plaza suspended in the chaotic space.

"You bastard, Yok! You will not take advantage of me!" Dreevindo appeared beside Yok, the joker-like being, and shouted angrily.

Yok displayed a boring expression and started picking his ears," how boring. Stop showing false bravado, shorty. You knew I was tracking you but did nothing about it. You led me here on purpose. Anyway, don't spill out your presence and tell others that we are here."

Dreevindo's angry face turned into a grinning one as he smacked the belly of Yok, which caused Yok to shoot far away, faster than the speed of light. Dreevindo also disappeared after that.

...

On a certain location filled with purple and black frost mountains, Yok and Dreevindo appeared on top of a small mountain.

"Did you try to recruit any one of them yet? If so, did that person join you or reject you after seeing your nasty short ass?" Yok said while grinning.

Dreevindo displayed a proud expression on his face as he spoke, "I am already trying to recruit someone and....he is the best one out of those bunch. You didn't see him because I masked his presence before you arrived there by tracing me."

"Damn! So you picked the best one already? How better he is than the rest?" Yok asked enviously.

"Way, way, way better, hahaha," Dreevindo spoke while grinning from ears to ears.

"Sigh. Alright, alright. Now tell me, why did you let me trace you and lead me there? What is your purpose?" Yok spoke while narrowing his beady eyes with a black border around them.

"You should have already guessed my intention, but I'll state it anyway," said Dreevindo with a faint smile, "we...should co-operate when the festival starts. I have already given you a present for our happy co-operation."

Yok started fiddling with his finger and scepter as he spoke unhurriedly, "Rexie also asked me to co-operate, you know? I think...I would have a better chance with her given our compatibility."

"Oh? Well, fine then. Goodbye," said Dreevindo with a grin and turned around as he created a portal door in front of him and started walking towards it.

"Wait, wait, wait! Yok hurridly blocked Dreevindo's path while curing internally, 'damn shorty, making me anxious like that. Why is he so carefree like that? What is his trump card?'

"Hmm? What's the matter? You should co-operate with Rexie, you know? As you said, you both have better compatibility," Dreevindo said while raising his eyebrows.

"Don't be too hard. Humph, I already found those talented individuals and can tell others about them," Yok said with a snort.

"Feel free," Dreevindo said as he nonchalantly waved his hand, "anyway, none of them will join you without asking their leader, and...you don't know about this leader, but I do. Yep, yep, yep, you guessed it right. The one I am trying to recruit is their leader. I observed that bunch since they arrived in the upper-chaosverse because, fortunately, I was searching in that area and noticed them.

"At first, I observed them without much importance after they entered that force-treasure dimension, but I was surprised by the power they displayed despite being early-stage Evagon-realm beings, especially their soul power. However, their leader..." Dreevindo spoke as he shook his head with a wry smile.

"Their leader what? Is he that amazing?" Yok asked as he was burning with curiosity.

"Yep, he is a monster and keeps another monster by his side. I can't believe that they noticed me when I tried to focus on them. You know what? If that person becomes my candidate, then...hehehe, I think my winning chances will increase by many folds," Dreevindo said while grinning.

Yok turned silent as he fell into thought, 'the shorty certainly isn't farting from the mouth judging by his confidence. Did he really find such an amazing person? Wait...'

"You said that their leader was also in that dimension...so that means he is also Evagon-realm being? What the hell? An Evagon-realm being managed to discover you?" asked Yok with a doubtful expression.

"Eh...actually, that person managed to faintly feel that he was being observed, but the monster he keeps by his side clearly discovered me," Dreevindo said while nodding.

"Who is that monster? How does it look like?" Yok asked as he narrowed his eyes.

Dreevindo narrowed his eyes back and said with a grin, "I will not tell you that. Anyway, that monster seems to be serving that person and listens to everything he says.

"Fine, fine. Let's co-operate. I really want a talented candidate from that bunch," Yok said with a weak smile.

"Good, good, good," said Dreevindo as he patted Yok's fat belly, "you bastard, did you eat another Cosmic supreme beast? No wonder I felt your aura weaker than I met you a hundred years ago. How were you punished? tell me, tell me."

Yok snorted as he turned away to keep Dreevindo's hands from touching his belly, "I was lightly punished because I didn't kill it completely before eating it. I created another chaotic life egg and put a part of its soul in it. Now stop pestering me because I want to observe that bunch and pick the best one out of them."

After saying that, Yok left.
