The Tale of the Void Emperor

[ A human race member has displayed exceptional performance in 4th layer, Boss-zone battlefield against an Elite Boss and has won High-grade magic inheritance. ]

The people in all layers were dumbfounded.

" What the hell? Another human got high-grade magic inheritance! Since when it was easy to achieve exceptional performance against Elite boss. "

" Indeed, People would curse their rotten luck when they have to fight Elite boss because many people die fighting against them. And here, two humans actually performed exceptionally. "

" Humph, So what? It takes years to learn this high-grade magic inheritance. "

...

Mike had trounced the Giant tree boss with his Geno frame, and he was dumbfounded but also excited when he got the rewards.

Especially, The high-grade magic inheritance: Great Axe of Duality Magic.

He couldn't wait to see how this unique type of high-grade magic will turn out.

...

Four days passed as Athan only focused on filling up the third branch of his Genome tree while his Jigen persona and altar spirits fought the natural disaster beasts that provided primordial force.

Today, The ape beasts that hatched from the egg finally stopped absorbing the primal and genesis energy. Its height was currently a hundred meters tall and looked savage instead of cute.

There were also some changes in its appearance. Its body that had only pure snow-white furs now had other light orange furs alongside the snow-white furs. Two deadly-looking fangs grew out of its mouth like a sabertooth tiger but on a bigger scale.

Two orange-colored wings with silver patterns also grew out from its broad back.

After it stopped absorbing the energies, the ape gradually became smaller as it shrank itself to a 2-meter giant ape with less inherent savageness.

Athan noticed some changes because the ape was already bound to him. Opening his eyes and seeing the ape, He was surprised by its new appearance but more with its strength.

Shaking his head, Athan muttered wryly, " Five days of continuously absorbing primal and genesis energy in large amounts. No wonder..."

Of course, it wasn't as strong as Athan or general people who have reached the third stage of the Spirit Astride Plane. But it was still slightly more powerful than his altar spirits.

Athan could feel with his connection that this beast was balanced in power and attribute-wise. 

He didn't what kind of abilities it could currently use, though he would know soon. But for now, He will have to come up with a good name for it.

Athan sized it up, which made the ape a bit confused.

" Hmmm...From now on, Your name is...Silvestra. "

*roar...*

Silvestra roared happily.

...

Currently, Athan's Jigen persona was fighting against a frog. However, this frog was a bit annoying because It could split itself into many and even use confusing wave attacks from its antenna. 

Currently, hundreds of frogs were flying in the sky while releasing wave attacks from all directions. They all looked the same, with white lining patterns on their dark gold skin and a bright gold antenna on each of their head.

" Ahh! So annoying. Their attacks are causing me headaches. "

Skylord's irritating voice rang out as it turned into its full form and used its breath attack: Cataclysmal Destruction.

*hdrooooo....*

The frogs that were the target of this power-breath attack shined as they resisted the attack but were still slowly disintegrated into nothing.

Skylord and others were shocked by their defense, " What the heck...They could resist my breath attack for 2 seconds before being destroyed! Aren't they a bit too tough? "

If it was one powerful natural disaster beast, then Skylord could understand it being able to resist its attack for more time. BUT these frogs were part of the giant frog, and they could still resist its attack, which contained all kinds of pure offensive attributes for two seconds.

" Hey Skylord, Your speaking is turning a bit similar to Masters. "

Hearing what Lucent said, Skylord instead laughed, " Haha, of course. I am just like Master. Powerful and mighty, unlike you two. "

DeahtKnight was speechless while Lucent gave humph and turned into its full form being revealing a smug expression, " You are most powerful? Haa...Keep dreaming! Watch me destroy these frogs. "

Lucent roared and used its third ability: Nightmare of the Dawn.

A bright light shined from it that covered all the frogs as they got stunned.

*Plop...plop...plop...*

But shocking after a few seconds, they started to burst into white lights...In just several seconds, They could see not a single frog around them.

Athan received the primordial force, which means that the natural disaster frog monster was dead.

Skylord and DeathKnight were slackjawed, and even Lucent was dumbfounded.

Athan nodded with a smile and said, " The splitting was a bad idea for that frog. It severally weakened its mind and soul defense by splitting up, which was perfectly countered by Lucent's specialty. "

" But Master, I didn't even get a chance to display the main power of my third ability. They just died with a minimum amount of attack on their soul and mind. If I knew this, I would've used my normal soul and genesis energy attack instead of wasting my energy using Nightmare of the Dawn. "

Lucent appeared down as it wasted all of its energy due to using Nightmare of the Dawn in a vast area.

" Don't worry. You can recover that naturally in a few hours, but here, take the menima crystals and recover them now. Now listen, Your new friend, Silvestra, will fight alongside you all from now on, so get along with him. "

After that, Athan, who was inside the special space faraway, sent Silvestra to the location of his other self ( Jigen persona ) and altar spirits after telling him the same thing he said to his altar spirits.

Silvestra couldn't speak properly like his altar spirits for now, but he could understand everything spoken by Athan.

While Athan's Jigen persona, his altar spirits, and Silvestra continued their adventure, Athan inside the special space was trying something. 

To check how much primordial force he needed to temper his body thoroughly, He tempered his right arm with the primordial force gathered so far.

The primordial force looked slightly dark brown while giving off a brown glow. It was gathered in the source core inside his soul body's chest.

Athan controlled it as he took out the primordial force from the source core and moved it internally towards his arm. With just one thought of Athan, the primordial force turned aggressive as it started to temper the cells of his right hand by getting absorbed inside his bones, skin, and blood.

He continued to take out the primordial force from the source core to temper his arm.

After half an hour, All of his primordial force was gone while half of his right arm was thoroughly tempered. From his right arm's elbow to his hand was thoroughly tempered.

" Urgh...It looks like it will take a long time to temper my whole body. "

Athan muttered, and after thinking for a moment, He decided to do a simple calculation and created a bar with genome energy. The bar displayed 0% currently. After that, He connected this bar to his source core.

Now, This bar will be filled up as he continued producing primordial force and also gathering primordial force by defeating the natural disaster beasts.

100% of this bar will indicate that he had gathered enough primordial force to temper his whole body thoroughly.
