The Tale of the Void Emperor

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON??"

Morax shouted on top of his lunges as he saw his grand palace getting destroyed.

Sweat fell like a waterfall from his face as he sensed many terrifying auras on top of him.

'How many Fear plane powerhouses are there?' Morax thought with fear.

He had actually hidden himself in the secret passage and suppressed his aura to the maximum.

...

On the other hand, Athan looked at Cronia and moved toward her.

Nia and Hojun were trembling intensely while looking at Athan.

They didn't know why Athan suddenly became so powerful. As for those voidlings?

HOLY HELL. 

Each of them exuded a fearsome Fear plane aura from them.

By now, the sound of chaos and crying was reverberating outside on the large island.

"Where is Morax?" Athan asked in a deathly cold voice while looking at fearful Cronia.

"H-he should be in a meeting, but I don't know where he is right now," Cronia swallowed her saliva before speaking truthfully.

She couldn't sense any overwhelming aura from Athan, but Athan looked very scary right now.

On top of that, the creatures he summoned were as powerful as her, according to the aura they exuded.

She didn't know what the was state of the this grand City of Morax right now, but it was safe to say that...The City of Morax and Morax himself wouldn't exist after today.

"Lead me there," Athan spoke plainly while looking at Cronia.

"R...r-right away," Cronia spoke as he saw intense killing intent and coldness in Athan's eyes.

"As for you two...," Athan turned to Nia and Hojun, "just stay here until I am done turning this city into a dead zone and locating Morax."

Nia and Hojun involuntarily shivered and nodded.

Afterward, Cronia started walking as she left the room while Athan followed her.

"Go faster!"

"O-okay...," Cronia nodded as she started flying instead of walking, and Athan also followed up.

"Do you...do you really have to kill everyone in this town?"

"Everyone must die," Athan spoke indifferently, "It is a necessary sacrifice that I need."

"What if Tiana and Sen really died and you failed to save them?" Cronia asked as she slightly glanced at Athan.

But right after she asked that question, Cronia felt intense suffocation.

Athan's eyes turned darker as his soul pressure burst out and suffocated Cronia.

"S-sorry, please f-forgive me," Cronia spoke tremblingly as she truly felt fear from Athan right now.

"Start moving," Athan spoke as he stabilized himself and his soul.

"I p-pray that nothing ever happens to your family," Cronia spoke while wiping away the sweat from her face.

...

After arriving in the meeting hall, Athan saw that there was no one there and looked at Cronia coldly, "useless trash."

After saying that, Athan released a mouth made from pure darkness of nothingness from him and devoured Cronia entirely. 

He kept her soul alive and imprisoned it inside a black cage of nothingness as he would not give her and Morax an easy death.

Afterward, he closed his eyes and spread out his powerful soul sense to every corner of this island.

...

All Arbiter powerhouses that were subordinates of Morax were the first ones to be slaughtered by voidlings.

Afterward, they killed the rest of the subordinates of Morax in the palace one by one before the whole grand and giant palace was empty of living souls.

"Master told us to kill every single person in this city," Taezin spoke with red eyes as lightning crackled around him.

He unleashed his true form as he became a giant 100 meters tall monkey with even large bo staff and pointed it in the sky before conjuring dark clouds.

"I will aid you," Eleos spoke as his eyes glowed goldenly. Eleos wouldn't get angry usually, and he needs to feel anger to release his offensive powers. However, Atha's anger greatly influenced him as he triggered his wrath mode. 

Combining their powers, a new profound technique was released, Soul Guiding Heaven's Wrath. 

Approximately a million lightning bolts were released from the dark clouds hovering above the island before they hit every single person on the island directly as if guided by their soul presence.

Their souls were not destroyed because Athan didn't want to make needless sacrifices. As such, their souls successfully "died" in a way but not truly as they went to the cycle of life and death, onwards onto their new life somewhere.

...

'Found you...,' Aren opened his eyes after he spread his soul sense in the entire island. 

He looked below and descended into the ground while the abyssal darkness was destroying it. 

It was easy to find a powerful soul when Athan searched for him as it was obvious that the most powerful aura belonged to Morax.

On the other hand, Morax suddenly felt an intense threat to his life.

'Fuck, fuck, fuck!! Why is this happening??!' Morax thought with anger, frustration, and helplessness.

He took out his Comm crystal and tried to contact some of his friends who were Fear plane powerhouses but failed.

Suddenly, he looked upwards and saw the ceiling of his underground chamber getting destroyed as a man descended, covered in a black aura with grey symbols behind him that had white and black streams chasing each other.

"Who are you?" Morax asked while trying to maintain his composure! 'I can't gauge his strength since I feel no aura from him...who the hell is he?'

He could sense several Fear plane auras on his island, but this person that appeared in front of him was not one of them.

Athan's eyes burned with anger as he looked at Morax, "so you are the one who drove Tiana and Sen to kill themselves...you...you..."

Athan was trembling due to anger because he was still haunted by the possibility of Tiana and Sen's death when he thought about how they killed themselves.

Morax frowned, 'what the hell is he talking about?'

"I don't know what you are talking about, but I never planned to kill Tiana and Sen. Instead, they would benefit by becoming my concubines and gain reaches and power," Morax said with a snort.

"Are you with those several Fear plane powerhouses roaming in my city?" Morax asked, but suddenly, his eyes glowed as he released a trip-edge beam from his eyes. The beams were golden and had three energy plates around them with faint black and red patterns.

However, his eyes popped out of his socket the next second because those beams couldn't even touch Athan.

"DIEEE!" Morax released even more power from his eyes and continued releasing the beam, but they were blocked by something that was one meter away from Athan.

The beams were literally absorbed into nothingness.

"Did they agree? DID THEY?" Athan asked with red eyes, ignoring the beam.

Morax stopped his attack as his eyes showed impressed shock. But hearing Athan's words, Morax's ego kicked in as he spoke with a dark face, "it doesn't matter. Their No or Yes doesn't matter because I already decided."

*Thud...*

'Huh?' Morax's mind turned blank as his knees bent, and he kneeled on the ground.

His soul was utterly suppressed to the max, and he couldn't even think straight for a second before the fear finally kicked in as he looked at Athan.

"Y-you...Nihility Lord?" Morax's trembling voice rang out as he looked at Athan with extreme fear. 

Morax had seen and felt the true power of two beings of the Nihility council, and their soul pressure was in the same realm as the one exuded by Athan right now.

Athan stretched his hand forward and executed <Voracious Doom Pull> as he forcefully pulled Morax's soul out of his body and grabbed it with a white projection hand that Athan conjured using voidpulse.

"P-please spare me! I am begging you; please spare me!" Morax begged as his soul cried. 

His soul looked the same as him but with a strange robe filled with eccentric and profound patterns.

"You will have a fate worse than death; I will make sure of it," Athan spoke with gritted teeth, "and everyone will witness it."

"NOOOOOOOOOOO! PLEASE NOOO!" Morax cried in despair and begged.

"Your Yes or No doesn't matter to me," Athan coldly uttered before he put Morax in the same cage as Cronia.

Afterward, Athan created a recording device according to his comprehension and understanding by using voidpulse before infusing everything he did and observed into them.

He then flew out of this underground chamber and left the palace.

"Master!"

All voidlings had returned to their miniature form as they arrived in front of Athan.

"Infuse your memories in this device such that other people can see what happened here and what you did," Athan said to voidlings.

"Roger, Master!"

All voidlings nodded as they infused their memories of what occurred here into the device.

Afterward, Aren closed his eyes for a moment before he consumed more Voidpulse and created many copies of the first recording device.

Afterward, he called Nia and Hojun outside of the palace before he waved his hand and removed the darkness barrier around the island.

The scenery outside of the island was a bit different since many people had gathered and more were coming.
