The Tale of the Void Emperor

Dreevindo was shocked.

'What's going on? That fist had the same property as that of his unstoppable black power! And it's...it's more powerful than the last time I saw it!' Dreevindo thought with a shocked expression as he could feel his energy rapidly depleting as those scary-mouthed wisps tried to destroy his barrier.

'And these wisps...also has the same power. Fuck, with his current strength, he is already on par with people at Orezin-stage,' Dreevindo thought as some beads of sweat fell from his forehead.

'How much strong will he become now that he arrived here? Huu...this shiver...is it fear or excitement about Athan's future? No matter the case, I must not make him my enemy.'

"Sigh...Athan, what the heck are you?" Dreevindo asked before he shook his head, "whatever, I know you don't know as well."

Athan looked around as he paid no heed to Dreevinddo's words, "doesn't this place look barren? You said we will directly arrive at the avenue where your game is going to be held."

"Eh, yeah. But this is the first Lerento of Orchos Firmament, and we have no business here," Dreevindo said before he looked in the sky with a grin, "we will have to go to the second Lerento."

"Tell me what is Lerento before I throw another punch at you," Athan said plainly, "just for your information, that was not my full power."

"Cough...chill, chill. Lerento means firmament layer. The whole Orchos Firmament has seven firmament layers. The first one is too weak for us," Dreevindo said with a smile, "after all, it's not like those Chaos supremes will have to start from 1st stage after ascending to Orchos Firmament."

Athan nodded before he narrowed his eyes, "you said fragments of an Absolute Trasncedence Mythos actually created the Chaosverse, and this so-called Absolute Transcedenec Mythos is the most powerful level known in this Orchos Firmament, right? Then..."

"Hahaha, what you are thinking is right. Naturally, even though the Chaosverse is created by accident, and it's from the level of the most powerful being known here, you all actually haven't seen the true extent of the Chaosverse," Dreevindo said.

"Mhmm, that should be natural," Athan nodded, "since it's from the so-called most powerful, ants like you, me, and others living in the Chaosverse can not solve its mystery."

"Correct," Dreevindo nodded before he smiled wryly, "well, that's why we can't use our full power there. The will of that Chaosverse has imposed orders itself about this."

"So? What is the true goal of gathering those chaos supremes?" Athan asked as a gleam passed through his eyes, "I assume you are going to bind them thoroughly."

Dreevindo smiled wryly and shook his head, "don't look too deep into it. We indeed have a goal, but...it's not too important in the eyes of big wigs."

"The simple reason behind our recruitment is that...as long as you showed potential and promising future, we will support you until you become an Atomix-stage being and give you the chance to travel to the core of that Chaosverse."

"Oh?" Athan raised his eyebrows as he asked, "travel to the core and then...try to get the true power of Order and Chaos of that Absolute Trasncedence Mythos being?"

"Indeed! Hahaha," Dreevindo nodded and laughed, "those people have gone once became a chaotic being and also understood swallow rules of Order and Chaos. So if they go there after becoming more powerful, they might manage to acquire the true order and chaos."

"Alright, I understood the whole thing now," Athan nodded plainly and said, "it's a completely useless thing to me. Anyway, I am not a chaotic being, so It has nothing to do with me."

"Hey, hey! You should at least finish this game, okay?" Dreevindo said with puppy eyes.

"Fine," Athan nodded, "however, tell me about the levels of strength here and its power structure as well."

Dreevindo nodded with a grin and spoke, "it's not too troublesome. The main path to make people as a whole stronger is simple. It's...evolving using the myriad natural genome catalysts and genome relics."

"Stop! I am not going to use those whatever genome catalysts or relics like others," Athan said in a sharp tone, "I will become strong in my own way. So, skip that thing and tell me about the power sources here."

"Also, what about the genome power? What is its place here?" Athan asked.

"Eh...," Dreevindo smiled wryly before saying, "genome power is a side path to boost your battle power. Genome realms come into existence when a being becomes an Absolute Transcendent Mythos. That being will forever leave the Orchos Firmament, but the genome realm will pass down the power of that being so that others can use it and progress."

"I see," Athan nodded, "now what about the main path?"

"Cough...basically, you evolve your body using an Evolution Method until you hit the limit and then invoke a genome catalyst or a genome relic from the power of this world to breakthrough that limit and gain more power and abilities," Dreevindo said as he waved his hand and conjured a chalice.

The chalice looked mystical as it was shining crimson with golden patterns.

"This chalice is the recent genome relic that I invoked when I broke through to Atomix-stage," Dreevindo said with a grin, "it's just an image, so you are not feeling the power from it, though."

"How are these relics and catalysts invoked? What is the basis behind their creation?" Athan asked with a curious light in his eyes.

"Well, they are invoked naturally by you once you hit the limit of your evolution. After invoking them, you can absorb them to acquire powerful abilities and breakthroughs to continue to evolve. Of course, you don't get abilities directly, but you have to comprehend the crux of the relic or catalyst and shape those abilities," Dreevindo said.

"Anyway, the stages of the evolution from the top to the bottom, go like this," Dreevindo said as he waved his hand and projected an energy scroll that showed the stages.

Pel-Evolution. Seeding stage.

Beej-Evolution. Budding stage.

Wrux-Evolution. Growing stage.

Raisor-Evolution. First complete rise stage.

Peel-Evolution. First complete fall stage.

Atomix-Evolution. Transforming existence stage.

Epic-Evolution. Becoming an Epic stage.

Disaster-Evolution. Emerging as a Disaster stage.

Legendary-Evolution. Turning into a forever etched Legend stage.

Mythos-evolution. Absolute Transcendent Mythos, Reaching Apex and becoming a Myth.

"All those chaos supremes will be at Raisor-evolution stage when they finish their transformation," Dreevindo said with a grin as he put the scroll away.

...

On the other hand, Lily was also shocked as her transformation was completed. With her transformation, the Ark space also entirely transformed as if it suddenly gained a soul. The space of the Ark space was filled with a powerful atmosphere that was similar to the one in Orchos Firmament but this one in the Ark space was even purer and more powerful. The orchos energy also became absorbable and everything became lively.

Mimi jumped in joy from her sleep and took a deep breath, "I feel like I returned to the home, hehehe."

However, she looked outside and saw that Lily was still in the Chaosverse, climbing the stairs.

Lily noticed that and sent a message to Mimi through soul sense, "we will reach there soon.. Just wait for a few more minutes."
