The Tale of the Void Emperor

"So these are the sources of powers here," Athan nodded, "alright. Once we are done with this fighting game, take me to one such place."

Dreevindo smiled wryly hearing that request of Athan that was akin to a decree.

"I will take you but don't cause too much trouble. Let's end this game peacefully so I can also fulfill your wishes without obstacles."

"Obstacles…," Athan muttered before he remembered those two Orchos Celestials, "those two Orchos Celestials will come after me."

"Cough…well, don't call us Orchos Celestials here," Dreevindo said with a weak smile, "just call us by our names."

Athan raised his eyebrows, but then he nodded and asked, "so? When will they make a move on me?"

"Hahaha, don't worry about that. They can't do shit to you," Dreevindo said while laughing loudly.

"Why?" Athan frowned in doubt.

"Well, you are the most powerful here, and you will definitely take first place. When that happens, Limbark Empire will surely put importance on you. So…hehehe," Dreevindo grinned and continued, "They can't do anything to you."

"I see, then I have to make sure that I don't take first place and perform poorly," Athan said while nodding his head with a straight expression.

"What! No, no, no, no, no! What are you smoking?" Dreevindo jumped in shock and said hurriedly.

"I want you to take first place! My benefits are attached to this :(, "Dreevindo said with a sad expression, "don't worry. I will make sure that they target you after the game is over. So please…take first place."

"How will you do that?" Athan asked while raising his eyebrows before smiling, "anyway, since you can do that, then first take me to some source of powers here so that I can find a way to improve myself more. After that, you can bring that Sirius and that bunny ear woman to me so I can devour their souls."

"Alright! Leave it to me," Dreevindo said while patting his chest, "I will definitely bring the food to you!"

Internally, Dreevindo sighed relief and also felt a headache about this situation, 'damn! What is going to happen now? I have a premonition that this devil will surely raise a commotion.'

…

Soon, all candidates passed through the golden membrane after finishing their transformation and successfully ascended to Orchos Firmament.

"Woah! This…this is so refreshing!"

"My blood is churning, and my cells are dancing in joy with each inhalation in this atmosphere."

…

"Athan," Lily arrived beside Athan and spoke with a smile, "hehe, there is a huge surprise inside the ark space. It completely transformed, and its atmosphere became even better than in this place. More importantly, the orchos energy in the ark space is better than here."

"Hmm, I guess it finally unlocked its true powers or a part of its true power now that we are at the place where it came from," Athan said with a nod.

"Our powers really transformed. The inner space remained the same, but our chaotic powers transformed and condensed into ethereal cores," Huarin said, "It seems that we can use our powers through cores in a different way but don't know how."

At this moment, Dreevindo flew into the sky and spoke loudly to attract everyone's attention, "everyone! The three objects in your inner space are the source of power that you cultivated while you were in Chaosverse. They have become catalysts that will give you powers, so infuse them into your soul!"

"Once you do that, you will be able to use your chaotic powers here but in a different form. Also, using it here won't require order energy or chaos energy anymore. Instead, it will require your soul energy and vigor energy of your body."

"Start doing that, and once everyone is finished with the process, we will leave."

Everyone started infusing the three ethereal objects into their soul while Athan absorbed the wild orchos energy from the atmosphere by inhaling it before gathering it inside his void region.

After a while, everyone was finished with the process. They discovered a newfound power inside them.

Also, everyone received mystical enlightenment, so they hurriedly sat down crossed-legged and entered into meditation.

Lily and Huarin also sat down and focused.

Lily had one more thing inside her, and it was a relic that looked like a golden statue of a bird. The bird looked similar to a Pheonix but also a bit different. The bird had red and blue crystalized feathers and a third eye on its forehead.

However, Lily didn't know how to use it right now, so she just let it remain near her soul.

The only ones standing were Orchos Celestials and...Athan.

By now, all orchos celestials knew that Athan was an anomaly.

The pixie fairy, Aby, arrived beside Athan and asked curiously, "Athan, where are you from? Are you from 6th or 7th Lerento of Orchos Firmament?"

"Humph, there's no way he is from there," Sirius spoke with a snort, "he is just an abnormal guy. Probably some higher being experimented with him and created him."

"Hehe, then he is probably a defect piece of trash that was thrown in Chaosverse," said the bunny ears woman ruthlessly with a grin.

'Athan! They are trying to provoke you so that you attack them. If that happened, they can legitimately fight back with all of these witnesses present and won't be punished even if they kill you,' Dreevindo hurridly said to Athan through sound transmission.

Athan nodded as he figured as much when they suddenly started provoking him instead of attacking him.

Athan raised his eyebrows and grinned, "you want to kill me, right? Come on! I am standing here."

"Hehe, you won't get another chance, you know?" Athan said with a sneer, "I will definitely take first place, and once that happens, you won't be able to touch me."

While saying that, Athan soul transmitted to Dreevindo using his soul sense and spoke, 'Dreevindo, it's your turn now. Finish the deal.'

Dreevindo was internally startled before he suddenly understood Athan's plan and grinned internally, 'good, good, good.'
