The Tale of the Void Emperor

After entering the city, Athan started walking towards the fort. It was tens of kilometers far, but he continued walking at his pace while observing everything.

"Sigh...," Athan sighed as he missed Tiana and others, "I will get you back soon...wait for me."

His expression turned determined as he eyed the fort and muttered, "I have no problem with you, but...you will have to die for me."

...

After walking for a long time, he finally arrived at the fort, which was surrounded by thick walls filled with runic wards and runic formations.

There were powerful Sovereign guards at the gates who sat crossed-legged on mystical platforms near the large gates—seemingly training but guarding at the same time.

"What do you want?"

One of the four guards opened his eyes and questioned Athan seeing Athan walking towards the gate.

Athan paused and spoke plainly, "I want to discuss a deal with Qetalin Supreme."

After saying that, Athan released his powerful body aura.

Sensing the body aura, All guards became dignified.

'What a thick physical body pressure...'

The four guards looked at each other as if they discussed something internally before one of them looked at Athan and spoke, "what sort of deal?"

'Since Chaos Supremes are aware of Orchos Celestials, then I guess I'll try to lure this one using it. Let's hope it works,' Athan thought before he looked at the guards.

"The deal is not something that the likes of you are allowed to know. Just tell Supreme Qetalin that...It's about candidate thing," Athan spoke before he snorted.

After saying that, he turned around and started walking while speaking, "I am staying at Walizru Inn in the city. Come there to call me when Supreme Qetalin is ready to meet me. Oh...and tell him that he will get a chance to meet one directly and receive pointers as well."

Hearing such ridiculous words, the guards were dumbfounded.

"What the heck was blabbering? Supreme Qetalin receiving pointers from someone?"

"I don't know. However, he seemed pretty serious and didn't seem to be trolling, so...I think we should at least pass on this information."

"Alright."

...

Supreme Qetalin was not in the fort but outside meeting with the other two Supremes. They talked about a new Chaos Phenomenon in the top layer and decided to go there for training.

Suddenly, Qetalin got a contact, and after a few moments, he stood up and bowed towards his friends before saying, "I have some urgencies, so I will have to leave. We will fix the date after a day."

After saying that, he directly conjured a portal and left.

Seeing him in such a hurry, the other two were dumbfounded.

"What happened?"

"Who knows..."

...

Athan had just reached the Inn when two guards caught up to him and called him back.

"Please come back with us. Supreme Qetalin wants to meet you."

The other people nearby were surprised to see that the guards of the fort especially came running to invite someone instead of contacting the person through a contact card.

Well...they didn't know that Athan didn't give them his contact card.

On the other hand, Athan was surprised, but he nodded and followed the guards back since things were going his way.

Right when Athan nodded his head, a portal appeared beside the guards.

This portal was a bit unique as Athan could see that a man was wearing a red-gold design robe sitting on a sofa in a hall at the other side of the portal.

Athan walked towards the portal without hesitation and entered inside.

Walking towards the Supreme Qetalin, Athan revealed his body aura deliberately to show his strength. He knew that this Supreme Qetalin had a powerful body than even him, which is why he had to make this mission natural to succeed.

Seeing Athan entering, Qetalin stood up from the sofa and nodded with a smile, "Although I have my suspicions, I'll let you speak your part. I hope you are not joking around because...you won't live alive from here otherwise."

"Also...remove that mask because I don't see faceless people," spoke Qetalin with an overbearing smile.

Athan walked towards Qetalin as he waved his hand in front of his face, removing the mask.

While walking towards Qetalin, Athan smiled and spoke, "my name is Athan...I am already a candidate of an Orchos Celestial, and I was tasked to find another candidate because of the unique powers I have from the Orchos firmament. You have to agree to a test held by Orchos Celestial with other people I have selected."

Hearing this, Qetalin's hopes increased by a few notches, "what kind of test? Also, you said we would receive pointers as well?"

"I will tell you about the details now, so let's hope we can reach an agreement in this deal," Athan spoke with a faint smile as he stretched his hand towards Qetalin for a handshake.

'He probably needs some resources and treasures in exchange for giving me a chance...Hmm, if he is telling the truth, I can give him the resources and treasures he wants, or maybe he wants revenge? since Orchos Celestial can't interfere in our affairs.'

Thinking rapidly, Qetalin nodded, stretched his hand towards Athan, and made a handshake.

However, a second later, Qetalin's smiling expression froze. His eyes slowly changed into ones filled with disbelief and fear.

"How...easy," Athan muttered as he didn't stop the handshake.

He looked at Qetalin and spoke with a wry smile," I guess I was overthinking. You Chaos Supremes are pinnacle beings, and seeing me, whose power clearly exudes lower than you, why would you have your guard up? In your own territory at that, right? heh..."

"W-why?" Qetalin asked while sweating. He was confused and panicked right now while fear of death loomed over him and his...soul.

The moment he shook hands with Athan, a powerful and unique burst of soul power hit him and shook his soul before he realized that the strange beastly mouth floating in front of his soul could kill him in a moment.

A black aura released from Athan as a giant beastly mouth materialized behind Qetalin, ready to eat him whole any second.
