The Tale of the Void Emperor-Novel

Chapter 401: Rules and Start-1

Sen removed herself from Athan before aiming a surprised glance at Arcued, " So what's the deal, huh? How did you manage to reach Orderic Catastrophe? "

Arcued grinned as admiration oozed from his eyes. Though before he could speak, Athan elbowed and glared at him.

Seeing this, Arcued sweated a bit before he cleared his throat, " Ahem...It's a pretty long story, so I'll just say one thing. The reason I managed to break through is thanks to Athan. "

Sen, Tealery, and Shiromi somewhat guessed that it should be Athan who helped him. But they were still surprised to see Arcued here because it was virtually impossible to help others breakthrough when even someone at the level of Ayurin can only slightly assist them and can't guarantee a breakthrough.

...

They settled the place and started to talk about some things since they had nothing to do.

" Master told me that your physique should be from out of this world. More specifically, she speculated that you must have received innate power from the upper Chaosverse. "

Tealery and Shiromi were surprised.

" Well, If that's the case, then it should explain why his physique is more potent than general unique, innate physiques here. " Tealery spoke after nodding as she looked at Athan.

Athan stayed silent as he just smiled and changed the subject.

" What's with this people gathering? It seems like they are bored. I don't see any conflicts or fights. Which means that it's not allowed here, right? "

Athan asked some questions as he looked at the surroundings.

" Yeah. Fighting is not allowed here. This place appears vast, but there's a barrier. You see those people standing far away at the edge. That's the limit. You can't go past that. " Shiromi spoke while pointing in the north direction.

The barrier is approximately two kilometers radius big. All people are within this two kilometers meters radius area.

Arcued asked curiously, " I don't feel restricted and can access my powers. So how exactly is fighting not allowed? "

" Well, some people must have fought, and their fight showed the consequences. What was that? The consequences that can quiet everyone down and cease conflict must be a most likely disqualification. They would be kicked out if they fight, right? " Athan guessed.

" Correct. We also didn't see it, but those four clowns spoke so much to us in the past three months, so we know some things despite arriving late. " Sen answered with a chuckle.

...

Athan and others spent three days without doing much.

But finally today, a giant portal opened in the middle of this grassland, and twelve people arrived from it. All twelve of them had worn the same type of clothes with minor differences in design.

One could see a symbol on their garment at the position above the elbow and below the shoulder on their right arm. This symbol appeared alive as it displayed six hills in 3D painting form with clouds and birds moving on top of them.

Among the twelve, Only three people looked like ordinary humans without any additional body features. Two of them were ladies with beautiful and elegant appearances, while the third human was a tall, buffy, and bald man with blue eyes.

The other nine were humanoid but of various mixed races. Among them, three were women and five men.

Athan recognized a person from that group floating in the sky. That person was the envoy who arrived at the tournament where he participated.

The beautiful human lady who floated in the middle of the group of ten came forward as she swept her glance at the people below.

" Warriors of Chaos who gathered here from the three continents. This testing ground is established at the intersection of these three continents, but it's within a unique dimension. But before we begin the test, I will inform you of some rules and facts. "

" We held a total of twelve regional tournaments in these three continents and gave out six-hundred black cards. And well..." Pausing here, The lady swept her eyes on the ground before speaking, " Only four hundred-sixty one arrived here. "

The lady then smiled as she waved her right hand...

*Swoooooosh...*

A monolith appeared with fifty golden brackets carved on it. It pulsed with energy and mysteriousness.

" Some of you might have guessed what it this. But I'll tell you in simplest form. These fifty golden brackets are for fifty people. Which means...Among you all, only fifty people will come with us to the Chaos Monolith Hills. "

*Rumble!!...*

Her words caused a major commotion at two places. The first place was here where all participants were shocked, nervous, angry, etc., since only fifty of them will pass.

The second place was right outside of this unique dimension. It was a vast barren land, but currently, It was filled with people.

There was a giant leaderboard floating in the sky with four-hundred sixty-one names. There was also a huge twenty square meters screen of cloud, and there were a hundred sections on the screen.

But currently, these sections seem connected as they displayed the twelve envoys and the lady speaking about rules as a whole.

" Ahem..."

The lady fake coughed that rumbled across the grassland as everyone quieted down.

" Only fifty people will win among you and join the Chaos Monolith Hills, but that's not the final count. If your performance is exceptional, then we may select more people. We are flexible. As such, Hardworking people with a formidable will are appreciated more when they are already talented. "

Hearing that, Everyone cheered, and they became even more motivated.

Previously, Those who were away of their own ability were affected internally since only fifty people were going to be selected. But hearing what the beautiful lady just said, A newfound resolve was ignited within them.

The lady clapped with an otherworldly smile and attracted everyone's attention, " If you want this big sister company after joining Chaos Monolith HIlls, then you better work extra hard. If your performance is extra exceptional, then I'll let you join my Roseblade Hill faction. "

A mystical aura released from her body that made her look even more gorgeous.

All men's eyes revealed heart as they looked at the " big " parts of the big sister. She had natural light blue wavy hairs with beautiful eyes and face, so most men were smitten.

The four colorful clowns looked at each other with fire in their eyes, ' Brothers. Forget about the girls here. We will woo the beautiful big sisters after joining Chaos Monolith Hills! '

' Yeah!! We won't give up. Let's aim higher. Who knows how many girls here will be selected? So it's better if we work on this thing after entering Chaos Monolith Hills. '

' First and Third, you two are right. Let's do it! '

' Three idiots, We need to win before that, so let's focus on winning. We don't even know the format of the test. '

...

Tealery, Sen, and Shiromi looked at Arcued, who was slightly affected.

After that, they looked at Athan but saw that he had an indifferent expression on his face.

' Athan is different indeed. '

The other eleven envoys had a weak smile on their faces. The other human lady who had crimson hair and looked like a cold beauty shook her head, ' Although she motivated the competitors but...sigh. '

Moving a bit forward, She spoke in a loud voice, " Now listen carefully as I'll explain the rules of the test. "
