The Tale of the Void Emperor

Clear Lake Region, Lemeanor Clan.

Gerian was talking with a man on a mystical screen that floated in front of him.

This screen was not electrical or digital. But instead, it looked like a blue cloudy square frame made up of some kind of energy.

While talking, He seemed to have sensed something and said something to the man on the screen before waving his hands, making the screen disappear.

After a few seconds, The doors to the hall opened, and two men came inside. These two men were the same ones who went in search of Qerin.

" Clan head. We found traces of young miss in a higher axiom universe near the universe you pointed us to first. "

Gerian abruptly stood up from his chair and commanded, " Lead the way, Now! "

" But clan head...If you leave the clan, trouble might crop up here. "

Gerian calmed down before speaking, " You don't have to worry about it. Nothing will happen while I am away. Now lead the way. "

The two men didn't say anything else after that because they could only trust their clan head, who is the sole real protector of the clan. If he said that there would be no problem, then there won't.

The three of them left the clan, and after coming out, one of the men opened a grey-colored portal. The portal was not perfectly round, but it looked like a grey-colored flame whirlpool.

Afterward, The clan head entered first before followed by the two men. After that, the portal disappeared.

Shockingly, The place they appeared at swamp region on the small planet in the Griza star sector.

This swamp region was none other than where Qerin first appeared and where Mike found her.

Gerian couldn't wait to find her daughter and followed her trail everywhere on the planet before finally stopping at one place.

This place was where Athan opened the wormhole.

" Clan head. We were also confused that the trail abruptly ended here. "

Gerian nodded with a serious face, " I can see that. "

He then cut his finger to take out a drop of his blood before it started to burn in light blue flames.

Gerian closed his eyes while the blood was burning. He was using the blood connection between him and his daughter to find her location.

After a minute, he opened his eyes and spoke, " You two can go back to the clan. I will return with my daughter. "

The two men nodded and paid respect to Gerian before one of them opened the same portal as they left the place.

Seeing that they left, Gerian muttered, " Let's hope that the will of this universe is not stiff. "

.

Gerian teleported into outer space before making a vertical cutting motion with his left hand, which was the only hand remaining.

With this cutting motion, A crack in the space appeared so deep that it looked like an infinite abyss.

But this crack only lasted for a second before it disappeared, and an entity appeared before Gerian.

  The entity was made up of white sparks with blur body features. Its height was 5.3 ft, smaller than Gerian, who was 6 ft in height.

" Man who has learned the order in the chaos. What is your purpose here? " The entity spoke in an utter indifferent voice.

" Since you have developed sufficiently and even created a thing like Roumbra Blood war as a trial to make the beings here strong, I suppose I shouldn't just break into that trial dimension to take a person out. "

Hearing this, the entity asked in the same indifferent voice, " You will damage the dimension if you forcefully break into it. I will open the passage to that dimension. But don't damage the dimension. "

Gerian nodded, " Thanks. "

The entity didn't pay any heed to Gerian after that as it simply waved its hand to open a portal and disappeared. 

Gerian entered into the portal and disappeared.

  ...

Tiana and others were still inside the second-level battlefield and were fighting & surviving.

Qerin was currently fighting against a giant winged panther who had two heads. It was pitch black with shining green patterns on its body.

But suddenly, She saw appearing in front of her and was badly startled, " Dad? "

The panther who was behind the person that appeared directly disintegrated into smoke.

Gerian sighed a big relief when he finally saw his daughter in the flesh, " Qerin...I finally found you. You are the only one left now. Your mother...she.."

Qerin panicked hearing about her mother, " What happened to my mum? "

" Your mother...is no more. " Gerian didn't want to keep his daughter in the dark and told her the truth. When one gives others false hope, they have to continue doing so until the truth will eventually turn up. At that time, The pain and grief will multiply. So it's better, to tell the truth about such things.

Qerin broke into tears and wailed. She knew the murderers as vengeance filled her tearful red eyes.

Gerian caressed her daughter's head for a while to calm her down. He knew the pain that was going through Qerin.

After a while, Gerian asked gently, " It's been a bit more than two years since you are here. Why didn't you return to the clan? I am sure you could do so with the chaos porter I gave you. "

Qerin wiped her tears as she spoke with a hiccup, " I...I wanted to get stronger and reach the peak of this universe before returning to the clan. I neglected my training before but no more. Also..." Pausing here, Qerin spoke with a hate-filled voice, " I will not forgive those two clans. I will destroy those two clans even if it's the last thing I do. "

Gerian sighed, seeing the state of his daughter, and shook his head, " You don't have to worry about revenge. I am already planning to destroy them. Now return with me to the clan. I will do my best to train you and make you powerful since you have decided to get strong. "

Hearing about returning to the clan, Qerin shook her head and said, " I will not return now. I want to train here in this dangerous place and become strong with my own power. I...also have found my life partner here and trustworthy friends. We will also return to the clan after becoming the strongest in this universe. "

Gerian appeared trouble by her daughter's decision, " You can also get strong faster at our clan than here with the resource I have collected. I...can't and don't want to leave you alone in such an unfamiliar and dangerous place when you are not even that powerful. Also...you have to forget about your life partner because..."

Qerin was startled hearing about the last part, " Why?! Why do I have to forget about Mike? No way! "

She raised her voice a notch because she couldn't accept forgetting about Mike.

Gerian was perplexed because he had betrothed her daughter to the man she always admired. But seeing her current state, It seems that she is no longer interested in him and instead fell in love with the one called Mike.
