The Tale of the Void Emperor

Athan saw people of the great five races after leaving the palace.

They were in groups of two and three and stood on the sides, with their total number being twenty-one. Looking at the surrounding, Athan felt that they were in a valley. The land was barren, and the mountains on both sides were also barren without any greenery in sight. The rocks and mountains were dark browns.

When other Lord-level beings saw Athan, They revealed a surprised expression and started speaking amongst themselves.

One of them walked towards Athan.

" So the human race finally has a Lord-level powerhouse? " A Branzol race man walked towards Athan and scrutinized him while rubbing his hand over his own giant gold-bronze protruding belly.

Athan glanced at him for a second before he continued walking forward. He just wanted to finish his business here and quickly go to the chaosverse. He had no plans to interact with anyone here.

Shortly after, Black and other humans also exited the place. 

Black and Fang had the same type of expression as they left the palace; Joy. 

After coming out through the palace door, Both of them went to a side and sat down crossed-legged.

" Huh? Why are human ants here too? Don't you know that you can't stay here if you aren't in the Lord plane? are you courting death? " 

Hearing that, Athan turned around and saw that Black and Fang were sitting crossed-legged right after coming out from the palace, and the other three stood around him as if acting as their guards.

Athan narrowed his eyes and felt that they are going to break through by making connection with the source dimension.

But the situation of the other three wasn't good. They were feeling pressured and were sweating.

The three of them looked at Athan with a plea and spoke to him telepathically.

They all basically said the same thing: they were having difficulty controlling their energies here and feeling suffocation and pressure.

Athan understood that reason and nodded, " Go back, I'll look after them until they break through. "

It was likely because the atmosphere of this place was too much for them as they were still not in Lord plane. On the other hand, Fang and Black had reached a peak in Law idol plane and just needed a breaking point which they got after they arriving here.

Athan returned and moved to where Black and Fang were sitting and stood there with his back facing them.

Suddenly, Athan sensed a commotion ahead.

Athan saw five people coming, two women and three men. They all looked old.

These five people were the true leaders of the five great races.

The leader of the Terred race, who was a woman, looked at Athan with narrowed eyes and revealed a surprised expression. After a second, The other four also showed a surprised expression.

The leader of the Dision race, who was small in height with wrinkled dark blue skin, spoke in a gusto manner despite his size, " Everyone, Prepare for the last time. Today, We will finally reach the chaosverse! "

Hearing that, Everyone was surprised, and when they looked at their great lords of respective races, who nodded their heads towards them, They were overjoyed and confused at the same time.

" What do you mean, great lord? Did you find a way to overcome that problem? Is that true?"

" This...is a bit unbelievable. Great lords, you have suddenly told us to prepare but are you sure we can do it this time? "

Athan was also a bit confused, but he figured that Elenex must have informed them about him.

" Silence! The creator told us that today, That human would solve our long-lasting problem and that too without any casualties during the process. "

Hearing the word " Creator" Everyone shut their mouths and started getting excited because if the creator said so, then the problem will definitely be solved today, but...they still felt surreal about the human part and looked at Athan with skepticism.

Athan knew that the creator they mentioned was none other than Elenex.

" Shall we move now? ", The leader of the Crysax race, who was another woman, asked Athan.

But Athan shook his head, " Wait. We'll go after the two behind me finish their breakthrough. "

Many revealed displeased faces because they felt a lack of trust from Athan. Many thought the same thing, ' It's not like we are going to interrupt their break thoughts by attacking them. '

But the leaders of five races didn't mind it and nodded.

" Can you let me take a look at the thing that will help us solve the problem? " Though, The Grakil race leader smiled and spoke something that confused Athan.

" Hunken! "

" Hunken! " 

The other four looked at the leader of the Grakil race, Hunken with a displeased expression, but Hunken just snorted in response, " What's wrong with asking to take a look? If this human can use that thing, then I also certainly can. "

Athan didn't know what they were talking about because he didn't receive anything from Elenex. Elenex just said to him that, He could solve the problem with his power after he reaches there. 

" I think you have some misunderstanding. Elenex didn't give me anything that can solve the problem. "

Hearing that, The five leaders were startled and appeared confused.

" But...Creator said that a human would come here to solve the long-lasting problem and showed us your appearance.  "

Athan nodded plainly, " True. But he didn't give me anything. "

" Are you saying that you will solve the problem with your own ability? " Hunken asked with a bewildered expression, and he even felt stupid himself for asking this question, but the response got from Athan made him feel like he was dreaming and wanted to wake up.

" I didn't say that, but that's the case. " Athan nodded.

" You are someone who came out from the ongoing Roumbra blood war after breaking through to Lord plane, right? How can you solve the problem that we weren't able to solve for so long? "

Athan frowned because he was tired of their bull shit and just closed his eyes without answering them.

The leader of the Grakil race gritted his teeth seeing Athan's behavior but held himself back from impulsively attacking.

Everyone turned silent and looked at Athan and then the leaders, who seemed to be slightly confused.

The leaders assumed that creator gave something to the human named Athan, and with the use of it, They can finally solve the problem because they obviously can't believe that a human can accomplish the feat which is taking them many millennia with his own power.

The grakil race leader looked at a buffy grakil race member to his left side and told him something telepathically.

The buffy grakil race member nodded and walked towards Athan with a serious expression.

When he was ten meters across Athan, He spoke with his heavy voice, " Lord Athan, Allow me to test your might. "

Right after saying this, Two dark green lasers shot out from his eyes, but the target of these two lasers was not Athan but the two behind him.

Athan didn't even open his eyes and just moved his two fingers. Inside the void region, The space core and mystic core shined briefly along with the white threads connected to them.

Two small portals appeared in front of the laser at that instant, and another two appeared right in front of the eyes of buffy grakil race members.

" Aaaaaa...Damn! "

The buffy grakil race member screamed briefly before cursing as his eyes were pierced by his own lasers. Everything happened in an instant, and he didn't expect this kind of move from Athan.

The Dision race leader appeared slightly shocked seeing this move of Athan.

But Athan didn't just plan to end things here and opened his eyes. His eyes gave a brief black shine and the space core, mystic core, and time core shined briefly along with the white threads connected to them.

" Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh....W-what the hell is this? STOP IT! Aaaaaa...."

This scream was not from the buffy grakil race member but the leader of the Grakil race.

On the right hand of Hunken, A black flame-like aura appeared and started to devour his hand.

The other four leaders were shocked seeing the right hand of Hunken just disappearing without not even leaving anything behind. The aura seemed to be feeding on his own energy and spreading to his body.
