The Tale of the Void Emperor

Gokez couldn't even sense the attack, so he was shocked at seeing the palm in front of him, 'HOW!? IT CROSSED SPACE! No...If it crossed, I could still sense space fluctuation, but...how come it appeared directly in front of me then?'

One can think extremely fast then how their body reacts. So Gokez displayed his disbelief but couldn't conjure a proper defense to defend himself.

However,? the palm didn't move forward to hit him, and it dispersed into a blast as the shockwaves sent Gokez flying.

"Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

Gokez spewed a mouthful of blood before he hurridly used his Genome energy and Orchos energy to defend himself from the shockwaves that caused him immense pain and turned obliterated his skin.

He hurriedly used his energies to put out the energy of Abyssal Blood Crystal, 'What the heck is this energy?! T-this...It's way too powerful!'

After a few seconds, he finally managed to put out all of that energy from the surface of his body, but his expression turned dire, 'It consumed a lot of my energy just to put out that much surface energy. It looks like Froech, and I can't handle him on our own.'

Froech also came out of the island, but he had a maddening expression on his face as he dashed towards Athan with full power.

Destructive green lightning and a giant clock avatar appeared over him as he put his hands together and pointed towards Athan, "DIEEE!!"

The needle inside the click started spinning as it made a full round from 1 to 12.

Right at that moment, a giant kilometers big vertical symbol conjured in front of Froech's hands.

Twelve green lightning giants with lightning tridents in their hands spawned from that symbol and shot towards Athan at a fast speed.

Many people had gathered at this time and were watching this grand battle from afar.

"That's Deadsea union's Froech. It seems like he already used his most powerful ability, Clockwork of Lerdenty Death."

"Indeed, those giants are no joke. They will fucking rebuild themselves until you destroy the core inside their body that is constantly moving at lightning speed."

"He is one of the most powerful in 2nd patch Legendary powerhouses here."

"Froech, we should retreat for now," Gokez said as he arrived beside Froech.

Froech looked at him coldly, "are you joking? He killed my son! Use your everything and assist me."

"Look at him! He is underestimating us and just standing there with his eyes closed!" Froech spoke with anger.

"Fine," Gokez spoke as he gritted his teeth and used his most powerful attack as well. He also looked at Mirenda and spoke something as she left.

His eyes shined first, and then his body as sharp, glowing dark purple patterns appeared all over his body.

After a second, a vortex of dark purple flame conjured around him as it got bigger and bigger before reaching five hundred meters big. Inside the vortex were countless symbols that were glowing with faint golden light.

Seeing that, the surrounding people that stood kilometers away started speaking again.

"It's over. Gokez used his Hollow Kernal Vortex. Simply by the offensive power of their attacks, Gokez has the edge over Froech. "

"Indeed, but that vortex is a one-shot attack while Froech's ability is more annoying. Probably most annoying among all 2nd legendary powerhouses here. Those giants will keep getting powerful once destroyed because their energy would condense even more after each destruction."

"Well, they also get smaller after each destruction from their one-kilometer giant sizes, so it's easier to destroy their core as well. But before that happens, his opponent fails to survive."

"That person facing them is really too much underestimating those two. Even if he is at the peak of 3rd patch Legendary path, he will suffer some injuries."

"Nah, his body was almost brought to ruin before you arrived here, so at least, his body is not comparable to optimal body strength that people who have established themselves at 3rd patch legendary path possess."

On the other hand, Athan had been indeed standing with his eyes closed when his Corporeal Execution failed.

He was optimizing and analyzing why his Corporeal Execution failed.

However, before he could perfect his Corporeal Execution, he saw some potent auras coming towards him and opened his eyes.

"Interesting. Full powered attacks of 2nd patch legendary powerhouses," Athan muttered as he nodded. However, he noticed that the woman of their group had disappeared, 'let's hope she went to bring reinforcement.'

Afterward, he focused on the twelve giants coming at him while exuding full of overwhelming power and a vortex that seemed to be preparing something inside it.

"This could turn on myself if I tried to absorb their energy," Athan murmured before he decided to defend against them instead of using those attacks' energy to try refining his body.

'I still have 48 Abyssal Blood Crystal's worth of energy running through my body. Let's see how much is consumed to nullify and destroy those most powerful attacks of those two 2nd Legendary patch powerhouse,' Athan thought before he executed Sanctuary of Void and Void Predatory.

...

"I'll keep accumulating power in my vortex while you attack first," Gokez spoke to Froech.

Froech nodded, "I have used all of my energies in this attack, and I will need an hour to recover. But we have to kill him before that."

Those twelve giants reached Athan before attacking with their weapons.

*Roarrr!!*

The giant lightning tridents struck Athan's Sanctuary of Void while Athan had already closed his eyes, not paying attention to the attack.

Everyone watching was speechless.

"Yokan, your brother Athan won't die because of his arrogance, right?" Yekin asked with a weird expression.

Yokan's face turned red before he puffed his chest and replied, "no way! Brother Athan isn't arrogant at all. I have seen him for a few months and never saw any arrogant behavior from him."

"Then what is that?"

"That is simply because brother Athan is...confident. Those two can't do anything to him. It...It is a natural behavior of a lion towards a tiny toothless lizard. You get it now?"

Well, even though Yokan fired shots without knowing. But what he said was indeed the truth.

Right after those giants struck their overwhelming attacks on Athan, the crystal inside the barrier reacted as twelve laser beams shot towards those twelve giants.

However, those beams only destroyed a part of their body before they were rebuilt. The mass of those giants was big, so those lasers couldn't entirely destroy them.

Those lasers were indeed powerful, simply unstoppable. Even if those giants were hundreds of times tougher, the result would be the same. However, they were bigger in size. It was a matter of "mass," so those lasers couldn't destroy them entirely along with the core—quality vs. quantity.

They became smaller, but their attack power increased.

The same thing happened over and over again as it lasted for forty seconds.

Those giants turned 3 meters tall from the initial one-kilometer size while Froech also revealed exhaustion, and the clock on top of him started to turn faint.

"Damn! All stored energies were condensed, and I even controlled them myself, but that barrier isn't breaking," Froech spoke with red eyes.

"I have accumulated a lot of energy in my Ruin Star in the vortex; it's a potent one-point blast attack, so that barrier will definitely break and kill him," Gokez spoke with hope.

"Do it!"

At this moment, Athan also opened his eyes and faintly smiled, "playtime over. But you might as well finish your attack. I want to see it."

Gokez's face turned dark as he put his palms together and clapped loudly.

"Geez, I had never seen Gokez accumulating this much power in Ruin star in the vortex before because nobody gave him that chance. Also, his power is especially effective on defenses."

"That person is going to die."

...

The vortex had become a lot smaller from its initial 500 meters size and was now just ten meters big.

However, there was a star inside the vortex with terrifying ruin power and eccentric patterns on it.

The symbol exuded a sharp and ruination aura along with soul power.

When Gokez clapped, the vortex turned horizontal, and the star appeared in the mouth of the vortex before it shot towards Athan at lightning speed.

The star hit the barrier before exploding in a blinding dark purple flare with a sharp golden aura.

Everyone eagerly awaited the result as the supernova-like glow subsided.

"What the fuck?"

"It looks like we were the ones underestimating the true powers of that person."

Gokez and Froech looked at each other with a shocked expression before looking back at Athan with a dire face.

"Nope, don't think about running," Athan said with a smile as he exploded the sanctuary of void and completely destroyed those smaller 12 giants, causing mouthful blood to spew out from Froech.

'Run!' Froech said telepathically while gritting his teeth.

However, the next second, a palm appeared in front of him.

Corporeal Execution.

*Shaaaaaaaaa...*

Silence...

The palm hit Froech, and his body turned into dust before disappearing.

'W-what?' Froech thought with confusion.

Yep, Froech. He didn't die. However, his body was obliterated while his soul remained perfectly intact.

Athan said with a grin, "It was quite hard in this soul energy part since my source energy contains it, but I managed to do it."

Naturally, Froech couldn't escape because his soul was now bound with chains and couldn't escape.

"Now come here," Athan beckoned with his hand as those chains glowed, and Froech's soul disappeared before appearing inside Athan's void region.

"P-please let me go," Gokez kneeled in the air and started begging.
