The Tale of the Void Emperor

Monarch Yokki had a grave expression as he could neither feel threat nor any good thing towards the strange black and white egg with streams of white and black energy whirling around it.

After thinking for a few seconds, he shook his head and spoke, "I am not going to check that thing out."

"Well, let's just attack it from afar. It looks like an egg, so I doubt it would attack us back."

Someone spoke, and many people accepted that suggestion.

"Ahem, Saint Minjel, since you proposed this, why don't you launch an attack towards that egg?"

"Hahaha, sure. Hey Terry, move forward that ship and launch an attack. Use the BBC canon since it's the most powerful in our arsenal."

"Roger, father!"

*BOOOOOOOOM....*

A black cannon with grey and white patterns on it hurled towards the egg at a breakneck speed and hit it.

However, when the cannon came into a range of 1 meter from the egg, it...disappeared.

"Huh? What happened?"

"The cannon disappeared before hitting the egg."

*BOOOOOM....*

Someone else launched another cannon, and this time, it was a laser beam cannon.

However, the laser beam that continuously beamed towards the egg also couldn't go past 1 meter of the egg as it was disappearing from thereon.

"It's of no use. Nothing is going past the one-meter radius of that egg."

"Screw it, I am going back. There's nothing for me to do here."

"Wait, that void emperor or whatever will be coming here, no?"

"Yeah, the news should have spread to him that we held his companions as hostages."

"Let's wait for some time then."

Many forces waited for a while before the Great Bridgade Palace's master informed them that Athan had disappeared from there when he got the news.

So, everyone felt that he was on the way and waited for a day, but nobody showed up.

After waiting for a day, the forces started to return to their bases as nobody wanted to waste more time.

...

"What happened? Why are Athan and Linci not answering? My contact is not reaching them at all," Elena spoke with intense worry on her face.

Gaarshil had a grave face as he seemed to be talking to someone through a contact card.

After a while, Gaarshil ended the contact and looked at his wife before saying in a grave tone, "the island bubble that Athan and others conquered disappeared, and now there is a black and white egg floating amidst chaotic atmosphere."

Hearing that, Elena was startled and spoke, "that's not an egg but Athan in cocoon form! I saw him in that cocoon form before when he first arrived here. I and Linci both saw him like that."

"T-this...," Gaarshil made a hesitant face. Still, he finally spoke after a second, "people are saying that the cocoon devoured the entire island bubble. They tried to attack the cocoon, but all attacks couldn't go past one meter of it as they strangely disappeared."

"W-wait. Y-you said Li...Linci and others were inside the island bubble, and then it disappeared? No...No...," Elena became fanatic as disbelief was plastered on her panicking face," Athan wouldn't do something like that. I am sure they are safe. They ought to be s...safe!"

"I also figured that the cocoon was likely related to Athan. Don't worry; I also think that everyone is safe. Athan can't kill his companions because they are his family," Gaarshil spoke with conviction.

...

Days passed as many kept an eye on the cocoon. Elena and Gaarshil had to bear pressure from Chaos Monolith Hills and other organizations because they knew that their daughter was affiliated with Void Empire.

However, Elena put up a strong front against Lithen. She told him that the cocoon is none other than Athan, and if he doesn't want to regret being born, he better not do anything stupid because Athan will come out even stronger. Naturally, Elena didn't know, but she had no choice but to put up a strong front.

As short-tempered as Lithen was, he didn't move recklessly. This was because some Chaos Monarch powerhouses also attacked the cocoon later, and their attack also disappeared at a one-meter radius from the cocoon.

Taking this into account and what Elena said that Athan would come out even stronger, Lithen decided to shield the Crow family.

A month passed by, and then another...

However, all forces still focused on the cocoon, and some big shots from the 2nd layer also descended to check out the cocoon after organizations in the 3rd layer spread the news there.

Five Chaos Paragon powerhouses arrived and attacked the cocoon but the result...were the same.

Athan's soul was getting stronger inside the cocoon, and his understanding of AVOF increased gradually as well.

A total of three months passed by before a crack finally appeared on the cocoon.

Efyeed, Reigen, and Limbus, who were all inside Athan's void region, could only watch Athan's soul brightly lighting with black and white as Athan's soul body revealed unique patterns on it and a symbol on his forehead.

They finally saw Athan opening his soul's eyes that gleamed with black and white.

...

"Hey, that cocoon is cracking!"

"What?! Fucking retreat as soon as possible! Hurry up."

Even the five Chaos Paragon powerhouses retreated as they looked at each other with a grave expression.

"It is not a treasure since something is definitely coming out of it."

"Should we call our Chaos Sovereigns here?"

"Look! A hand came out! T-this...it seems like a human hand but filled with strange black, white and grey patterns."

...

Athan broke the cocoon entirely as he came outside. Afterward, the broken cocoon broke down into black, white, and grey particles before merging within his soul.

His void robe became more stylist with more patterns, a black flamy-like cloak with lapis blue patterns behind him materialized additionally, and a mask on his head.

The cloak was really strange as it actually created a black field around Athan sparkling with very faint lapis blue sparks.

Athan looked at the powerhouses several kilometers away from him indifferently before speaking, "Reigen and Limbus, become my wings."

"I am hungry," Athan muttered as his soul felt hunger, hunger for more soul power.
