The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 190 - Stage Breaker



Athan waited for a minute for crystal king kong to turn into smoke and reveal the reward. Meanwhile, he looked at the back of his hand as the blood mark finally started shining.

[ Congratulations! You have completed the challenge and filled up the blood mark. ]

[  The reward is a random soul quirk and enough soul source to use it. ]

Athan was surprised at this reward because it was a really grand reward. The main thing was the soul source. If he didn't receive a soul source, then just like before, He would have to use his own soul source, which would decrease the size of his soul body when they used their soul quirk [ Soul Birth ]

Athan entered the special space after receiving the soul quirk and sat crossed-legged as he looked through it.

" Soul quirk...Soul Burst," Athan muttered as he found this quirk interesting. This was not an attack-type soul quirk but enhance type soul quirk.

He can sacrifice a certain amount of his soul source and get overall enhancement. His senses will become extremely sharp, His physical body will also get stronger, and his energy attacks will also become stronger. In short, All of his aspects will become stronger in proportion to the soul source he sacrificed.

He looked at the golden blob floating inside his soul realm, which was the additional Soul source he got. Looking at that, Athan guessed that if he incorporated that soul source in his main soul body, It could increase by twenty meters.

" Hmmm...Should I let my main soul body absorb it or keep it for now? "  Athan was in a dilemma, but after thinking for a minute, He decided to absorb it.

" I doubt I will ever use this soul quirk unless the situation is really dire, but in that case, I can go inside the special space...At least I won't be obstructed from entering the special space in this world though I don't know about Chaosverse. " Athan muttered, but then he shook his head and thought, ' No use in thinking about it now. '

He then recounted his to-do list, which wasn't that long since he only had one thing to do: mastering his Framework Art, and he already did that. He looked at Tiana and others as he didn't know how long it will take them to finish comprehending a complete Rule.

" Well, Let's take a look at the thing I got from King kong. "

Unlike other powerful beasts he encountered previously, This king kong didn't drop any stone inscribed with magic but instead dropped an Egg. 

He was dumbfounded when he got an egg from a monkey, but he accepted it easily since Lucky was also from an egg.

' Hmm...Will it hatch automatically, or should I give it some energy. ' Athan thought for a while and got an idea.

' Will I get a response, though? ' Athan thought as he went outside.

" I'll start with speaking in a low voice. " Muttering this, Athan let the egg float in front of him and spoke, " How to hatch this egg ? "

' No response, huh? ' Should I speak louder? ' Athan thought for a few moments and decided to speak in a loud voice since it's not like he would lose anything by speaking in a louder voice....except that he would look like an idiot if someone saw him.

Taking a breath, Athan shouted, " HOW TO HATCH THIS EGG ? "

...

...

Speechless, Athan waited for a minute and finally gave up. Although he knew that chances were low, He at least hoped that the voice that speaks inside his head would tell him how to hatch the egg.

He then put the Egg inside the special space while he stood outside as he was going to do one more thing.

" Stage Breaker! "

[ You have initiated Stage breaker. You will ascend to the 4th layer of this Roumbra blood war dimension if you can pass it. ]

A door appeared in front of Athan that slowly opened. The door was a wooden door with its borders covered in sparkling silver energy.

Athan smiled and didn't feel that his decision was wrong. In this layer, There were no more challenges for him and others. He could trounce several people of the peak-Ruler plane, even without using his genome skills.

He wanted to fight in more dangerous and challenging situations, and they could only be found in the above layer.

Athan moved forward and entered inside the door.

After a brief moment, He arrived at a hall with a badass statue in front of him.

Athan looked at it and muttered, " Well...This is indeed cool. "

But his face suddenly changed, and he jumped backward. After going through the door, he appeared in the middle of the big hall, and the door also disappeared, so there was much space for him to jump backward.

The statue opened its eyes as the Two metallic blue and red-looking gauntlets expanded and became cannon that stood atop the back of his hand. The two blue and red wings on its back also expanded and turned into eight blades.

Several metallic sounds appeared as a magnificent armor covered its body that was already covered in blue and red armor.

Athan was dumbfounded as he muttered, " This thing looks just like a Mecha. "

Suddenly, The mecha floated as a blast of energy released behind its back and dashed towards Athan.

" Come on! " Athan bumped his fist together as he activated all of his Blood Magic instantly, and with a flap of his wing, He dodged the attack.

The mecha didn't waste any time and aimed both of its fists towards Athan as two energy shots released from the cannons.

Athan was surprised as he sensed a similar type of energy as conceptual energy, which was mixed with several intents but a more powerful version of it.

He stood there and let himself hit by the energy shots. 

*muffled...*

Athan was pushed back, but he was not injured, " Well, This might be easier than I thought. "

*Swoooosh*

He dashed towards the Mecha with a speed that was faster than Mecha and instantly released Crimson Claws before he arrived beside it.

The Crimson Claws hit the Mecha's chest as the Mecha was slightly damaged, but the Crimson energy seeped inside the Mecha. After arriving beside the Mecha, Athan punched It by powering up his Blood Magic: Slaughter Covenant. 

*BOOOM...*

The Mecha has directly blasted away, but Athan didn't slow down and flapped his blood wings, Blood Magic: Unbound Covenant, and appeared before it could hit the wall of the palace and directly punched its chest.

*BANGG...*

The punch of Athan cracked open its chest armor as it was embedded into the floor of the Palace.

Right after that, Athan used his Blood Magic: Demolition Covenant.

*BEEEEEEEM...*

The three laser beams directly bore three holes in Its chest.

[ Congratulation! You have completed the Stage Breaker. The door to the 4th Layer will appear in 3 seconds. ]

[ 3 ]

[ 2 ]

[ 1 ]

...

Athan saw a door appearing in front of him, which looked the same as the door that appeared when he started Stage breaker and started walking towards it.

After entering the door, He saw his surroundings and was dumbfounded.
