The Tale of the Void Emperor

"Fuck...fuck...fuck...w-what is going on?"

"How can he kill a chaos paragon that quickly? He...he seems to be devouring them."

"I DON'T KNOW! NOW FUCKING RUN!"

Athan killed the second Chaos Paragon by devouring him whole. He refined their soul using his soul energy and then absorbed them to increase his soul power.

"More!"

Athan flew by cutting through the chaotic space, and arrived at the third Chaos Paragon.

Athan used Gaze of Void to suppress the powerhouse and disable him before devouring him as well.

The fourth human-like paragon powerhouse that looked like a busty woman with three dark-purple fluffy tails was also devoured.

The Chaos Monarch powerhouses at the further started conjuring chaos portal in hope to escape.

However, Athan saw that and consumed half of his soul energy as his eyes gealed terrifyingly and suppressed everyone's soul as they were disabled and lost their will.

"Don't think about escaping...," Athan coldly muttered as he started devouring everyone's soul one by one.

...

At this time, the entire third chaos layer was in an uproar...

People in all those organizations noticed that their leaders and other important powerhouses had their soul slips broken into pieces.

Soon, the news about dying passed to each other, and they knew all those who were keeping an eye on that strange being (Athan) were dead.

Elena and Gaarshil also heard the news and were shocked to the core.

"Athan killed those chaos monarchs and paragons as well? This...how strong he is actually?"

Gaarshil and Elena were shocked.

Lithen also heard the news and came running to the Crow family to talk about Athan.

...

In the next few days, Athan's notoriousness increased as he broke into Jukran Vampyre Clan's territory and devoured all the remaining top powerhouses to feed his soul.

He then visited two more top organizations in this chaos zone and cleaned their powerhouses as well.

However, after that, all other top organizations were deep-rooted with fear and practically ran away.

Athan actually didn't plan to visit any more organizations since his soul's hunger was satiated for now.

People didn't know who this being was, but they called him Void Bringer due to his infamy. That was because wherever he visited, nothing remained. He also completely devoured people as nothing remained of them; not even a spec of their soul could return to chaosverse's cycle.

Hence, the news about this infamous being called Void Bringer spread everywhere, even to the other chaos zones in this 3rd layer of Chaosverse.

...

After a few days, Athan arrived at the territory of Plum Blossom Valley and stood in front of their large gates.

Athan's appearance had spread everywhere, so when the people at the large gates saw Athan, they were struck with intense fear.

Athan looked at the guards and spoke indifferently, "lead me to your master."

"Y-y-yes, sir."

A human man looking in his early thirties spoke while trembling. He had black tattoos on his body and a single horn on his forehead.

He felt relief that this person didn't directly kill him as he turned around before flying deeper in this large land filled with mountains and valleys.

Athan followed the person while other people at the gates who stayed behind looked at each other while sweating buckets.

"W-why is he here?"

"I don't know..."

"I think I can guess. He should be here for...revenge. You remember how Izarin Monarch announced that our Plum Blossom Valley is going to submit to the new rising power, Void Empire?"

"Yeah. But...wait! This being is said to come out of a cocoon that devoured the island bubble where people of the Void Empire stayed. He literally killed everyone in that island bubble, so after knowing that we had submitted to Void Empire, he is here to...destroy our organization?"

"Indeed..."

"Should we escape now?"

"I am leaving."

"Wait! At least...let me inform Izarin Monarch that the strange being who killed all those chaos paragons and monarch powerhouses is here and is looking for him."

...

Izaron monarch was informed that the being was coming here, but he didn't escape as many others thought.

However, he was still sweating and nervous as he walked to and fro in the palace hall.

"The appearance is the same. He is really Athan. However, why did he kill his own companions by devouring the entire island bubble? Or...

"Is there some other thing behind that, and his companions are not dead? Since he could kill chaos paragons easily, letting none of them escape, he must have the same power as a Chaos Sovereign. Then...

"He also must have some means to store living beings in his inner space like Chaos Sovereigns, right?"

Izarin was muttering to himself and speculating things positively as he hoped that Athan was not here to kill him.

He really wanted to run as well, but he didn't think that he could escape. That's why he decided to take the risk and stay here.

"I-I'll go towards him. He should have known that I must already have received news of him looking for me. So, it's better that I go to him instead of staying here," Izarin nodded to himself as he left the palace hall.

...

Athan was flying deeper into this territory while following the still nervous guard. On the way, Athan and the guard had encountered people, but all of them were scared shitless and ran away.

Suddenly, he saw a portal conjuring a kilometer away from him as Izarin came out from it.

"Master Athan!"

Izarin flew in front of Athan and bowed deeply. His voice contained fear and hope both.

"Get up."

Izarin looked at Athan with a respectful expression and spoke, "what orders do you have for this servent?"

Athan glanced at the guard leading him until now, and he spoke, "you can go now."

"T-thank you," the guard hurriedly nodded before he left.

Afterward, Izarin and Athan arrived in the main personal palace of Izarin.

"I want you to spread the news that the so-called Void Bringer, who is me, wants everyone to come at Chaos Monolith Hills."

Izarin was shocked and got nervous. He hesitated for a moment before asking, "a-are you planning to kill everyone once they gather?"

Athan shook his head wryly before saying, "of course not. I am not hungry anymore. Anyway, go and spread this news. I want everyone to be there after ten days."

...

On the other hand, two 3rd grade organizations in the 2nd layer of Chaosverse had a discussion.

These two 3rd grades organizations were the ones who sent their chaos paragon powerhouses to the 3rd layer for investigation after hearing about a strange cocoon.

Now that the powerhouses they sent were dead, they were concerned about this matter.

So after gathering more intel, they found out that the one who killed their members was a strange being called Void Bringer and also heard about this being's notoriousness.

"Since he called everyone to gather there, let us visit there as well. Humph, I want to see this rampant person myself," the Chaos Sovereign of Mist Illusion Palace spoke.

Hearing him, the Chaos Sovereign of Myriad Ghost House nodded, "I will come with you."
