The Tale of the Void Emperor

One by one, Athan cleared all floors of the Pagoda, and after an hour and twenty minutes, he successfully cleared the 10th floor.

[ Congratulation! You have successfully cleared the Sky Force Pagoda. ]

Actually, there was a record of clearing the whole Pagoda, but Athan took his time to use his techniques and practice. That's why it took him one hour and twenty minutes.

After he came out from the Pagoda, he directly went towards the Hill Palace of Dean Lenix.

...

Dean Lenix wore a surprised expression as he asked, "I thought you would break the record."

Athan sat down on the couch in front of him and shook his head with a smile, "I took my time to clear it since I wanted to test a few things. Anyway, did you covert the reward from pagoda into Kuriazak fruits?"

"I already sent a person for that job, and he should be coming here with the fruits in five minutes," Dean replied.

...

Five minutes soon passed, and a middle-aged man appeared in the palace hall.

He looked at Athan with a curious glance before handing the Dean a storage ring.

"Good. You can go now." Dean Lenix said to the middle-aged man who left.

"Here, There are a total of seventy-two Kuriazak fruits. Let's see how far you can reach with these fruits," Dean grinned as he handed the ring to Athan.

Athan took the ring with a wry smile, "Let's hope it's enough to let me pass the body catastrophe phase."

Afterward, Athan left the Hill palace and returned to Newcomer's Abode.

He didn't go to Efyeed but stayed on the hill next to it and started eating the fruits.

After he ate eight fruits, A catastrophe arrived with the destructive wind that started assaulting his body.

But he easily survived it, and his body also received a boost.

'I wonder how many catastrophes I need to pass before I breakthrough from the Body catastrophe phase to the Essence catastrophe phase?' Athan wondered while eating more fruits to call another catastrophe.

All people had to experience different catastrophes in each phase before reaching their desired level of strengthening to break through.

As for how many catastrophes Athan needs to pass before his body becomes an orderic body? No one can know this beforehand.

Orderic body is a kind of status that one gets. It means that their body has become perfect and in tune with the order. Once that happens, They can house a stronger order force and chaos force in their chaos region.

Athan soon experienced another catastrophe after he ate eight fruits and easily passed it as well.

...

Several people soon noticed continuous loud sounds and arrived to see that Athan was experiencing catastrophe every ten or so minutes.

"How did he get so many Kuriazak fruits?"

"Who knows? But those catastrophes are not even bothering him in the slightest. Sigh...How can he remain indifferent with those injuries on his body? His face isn't even twitching in the slightest."

"I've been wondering about that exact thing when I saw him the first time at the Arena. He is a monster."

Several new recruits were attracted to this place as they watched Athan going through consecutive catastrophes.

...

Athan went through a total of nine catastrophes, and fortunately, after he survived his ninth catastrophe, Athan clearly felt changes happening to his Order Eidos and his body.

Several dreamy light blue and white patterns appeared all over his body and also on the body of Order Eidos, which looked exactly like him but with different skin since it looked like hazy blue with order patterns all over the body.

Athan closed his eyes as he felt the increased generating of order force in his Orderic Codex, and more importantly, his body started to strengthen a lot.

With all those things strengthening, His Body chaos traits naturally became stronger. After all, the strength of the Body chaos traits is connected to his physical body's strength.

After thirty minutes, the process was finished, and Athan opened his eyes as he felt his newfound body strength.

He took out an SBP card and infused his soul sense into it as his new Superficial Battle Strength appeared.

[ Superficial Battle Power: 42670 CW ]

Athan was surprised to see the increase of twelve thousand, but it was expected since he went through nine catastrophes one by one and passed the whole phase in one go.

But he still can't train in Initial-level elite order methods since he had already asked Dean Lenix, and he told Athan that since Athan already meets the required comprehension ability, He only needs to pass Essence order catastrophe to start practicing in Initial-Elite methods.

"Still need fifty-eight thousand more battle power before I can create my faction. Hmmm...," Athan went towards Efyeed with a thoughtful expression as he was thinking about what to do next besides the case of the Avelia.

He looked at Avelia and Tiana, who was meditating and smiled before looking at others.

...

Several days passed as Athan and others would train and practice with each other while Mike and Qerin didn't waste time and sat down under Efyeed to get unique physiques.

Tiana and Avelia were not in a hurry, but that's because Tiana wanted to accomplish Athan's wish first.

She felt sad whenever she thought of the situation of Athan as how everyone forgot his existence and what he had to suffer.

Sen, Shiromi, and others told her how Athan wouldn't even feel the slightest pain no matter how serious the injury was and was indifferent to every suffering. Hearing all that, Tiana couldn't help but cry.

Avelia also heard them, and she also felt heartbroken despite not remembering Athan.

All these days staying together with him, Avelia was feeling more and more loving towards Athan.

"Avelia...I think you already know your feelings for Athan. You must be confused, but you don't doubt that those feelings are fake, right?" Tiana said with a serious expression as she looked at Avelia.

Avelia was blushing, but she still nodded, "I don't think these feelings that make my heart race are fake."

Hearing that, Tiana smiled widely and said, "Good. Then it is time. We always wondered about the shadow we saw several years ago in our dream, right? Although it stopped at that time. But we also found some strange laps in our memories. "

"Indeed..."Avelia nodded.

"Then It's time to fill up those gaps and see the memory of the person that was, is and, will remain most dear to us," Tiana spoke with a lovely smile.
