The Tale of the Void Emperor

"Wow! What a great dimension. Uu...Uu, master, can I eat some of those chaos beasts?" Taezin.

"If you won't attract the forceful recall, then sure. Just protect me by eating against any chaos beast that attacks me so I can peacefully train," Athan said with a grin.

"Uu..Uu.., master. I just scanned this entire dimension, and there is a being way more powerful than general beings here," Taezin said.

"Oh? Let's go there then. This is supposed to be a saint-grade dimension, and since you said that there is a being way more powerful, then...that being should be a powerhouse from outside."

Taezin led Athan towards the location of the powerful being while concealing their aura completely.

Athan could conceal his presence to nothingness with a void mask so no one can feel him through scan unless they see him with their own eyes. At the same time, Taezin was a higher being that no one could see unless Taezin wished to show his appearance to them.

The Izarin Monarch was a powerhouse in the chaos monarch realm. He was here in this Warren-dimension to gather resources for the organization and train.

Nyntiel and the other two didn't inform the Izarin monarch about Athan entering inside because they felt no need. They believed that Athan would die sooner or later.

After all, they didn't think that Athan could live after encountering the leader of Peach Blossom Valley.

...

Alas...they didn't know that Izarin Monarch was probably having the worst day of his life.

"W-who are you? STOP!! S-stop! Please..., "Izarin Monarch shouted with pain as his body was fully beaten up.

His fear-filled gaze was directed at the tiny monkey that was not even a meter tall.

He was bounded by slim golden silk, and that thing caused him to be totally powerless. He could not move or use any of his power. After that, he was beaten like a rugged cloth by that tiny monkey.

"Who are you?" Athan asked.

"I-I am Izarin, the leader of Peach Blossom Valley," Izarin hurriedly answered. He knew that his young man was the master of that fearful tiny monkey.

"I see...Nice to meet you. I am Athan," Athan said with a smile, "after three months, I am going to visit all ten organizations in this chaos zone and make them submit to me. If you submit it to me right now, I will give you some special reward later. You have three seconds to decide."

"I submit! I fucking submit! Please, don't beat me anymore. I can't even heal my injuries, and the pain increases every second. My soul is also suffocating because of that gaze from monkey...," Izarin Monarch literally cried while speaking.

"Oh? Hahaha, good decision," Athan said with a laugh, "so you are ready to become my servant, right?"

"I am ready, ready!" Izarin Monarch nodded hurridly before crying in pain.

After settling Izarin Monarch to guard him, Athan started training while Taezin ate chaos beasts. Of course, Taezin was paying attention to Athan as well because Taezin could observe the entire dimension and go anywhere in a second.

...

After Primo messaged everyone, Tiana and others gathered together inside the island bubble. Mike and Qerin also had returned after accompanying that strange human lady Orchos Celestial for a month and were just a bit behind others in progress. However, they were working extra hard to catch up.

"Nyaa! Master gave me a lot of voidlings before leaving to train at another place, so I will divide it among you," Primo said.

"All of us are close to reaching the peak of the king-grade realm. I think we can break through to chaos lord realm after three months," Tiana said.

"Hey, Athan also said that we will go out after six months. Does that mean...he knew that we could breakthrough in six months?" Sen asked with a surprised expression.

"Nyaa! He speculated that based on your comprehension ability and resources here! After his EVOF got to 10%, all of your soul also received a boost since the master is connected with you all. That's why your comprehension power is better than before. All of you are now true void beings, but since you don't have broken bodies and connections like the master, this chaosverse will not cripple you."

"I see..." Tiana nodded. She then looked at everyone and said, "Before we dive into training. Let's enter into the chaos phenomenon that our team found. That will be a good opportunity to grasp and create some order abilities to increase our combat power."

"I was about to say that we need to search for a chaos phenomenon since order abilities are absolutely necessary to increase our battle," dean Lenix said.

"Then let's go right away without wasting any time!" Arcued said with determination.

...

Two months passed by in a blink of an eye as everyone spent two months inside the chaos phenomenon.

"Hahaha, Athan is going to be surprised seeing our abilities. Anyway, Avelia, you nailed it with that chaotic space ability! That should be the most powerful order ability among us," Sen said with a laugh.

"Everyone, I am going to use my 2nd order ability; it's support type. Can you tell me how it feels?" Shiromi said as she consumed half of her soul power and targetted everyone.

Suddenly, everyone felt a layer of defense on their soul and an attack boost as well.

"This...we can also share our vision? how long is its effective range, Shiromi?" Tealery asked.

"I can't say since we haven't tested it. But it should be several hundred kilometers at least. Also, the string attached to your soul is because of this ability. That string is yours now, and you can consume it to boost a single order ability's attack or defense aspect," Shiromi said with a smile.

"But...we lost some of our soul energy as well. It seems to be related to the string," Theo said.

"Yep. I obviously can't boost you all with my soul power alone. However, as long as you accept this order ability's buff from it, the order mark it works with will consume a bit of your soul energy to create that string. Since everyone's threads will be connected to each other through me, we can share our vision."

"So this order ability is like a middle-dealer with a function to buff everyone with their own soul power; it's really useful," Head Zangrel said with a grin.

"Alright, since each of us has at least two order abilities now, we should continue with our training for a month before Athan comes back."

...

The entire chaos zone was peacefully and chaotically moving as always. However, the ten major organizations here didn't know that...a storm was coming.

Athan was brutally training himself to make his body stronger while Tiana and others were aiming to reach the peak of chaos king realm in a month.

Elena and Gaarshil were waiting for the date to arrive as well since Athan had told them about his plan.

"Only five days are left before the date set by Athan," Elena said as she sat together with Gaarshil.

"Mhmm, I'll leave after two days according to the plan and visit the master of Chaos Monolith Hills," Gaarshil said.

"Don't irk them too much if they are not willing to believe."

"Got it."
