The Tale of the Void Emperor

After going through the portal, Athan found himself in a hall with artistic wooden walls and wooden furniture. 

There were three exquisite red wooden desks in the hall. People working behind the desks gave papers or some strange stones to other people who came to them after talking about something. There were also two big doors beside the exit door that seemed to lead somewhere.

Reikent took Athan to a desk before he smiled at the girl who was standing behind the deck, " How are you, Remi? "

Remi's attention was on a paper on the desk, and when she heard Reikent, She raised her head and spoke in an unenthusiastic way, " Mhmm. What do you want, Rei? "

Remi's height was 5.4ft, with one rough pink horn on her forehead and medium size bust. She wore frock-like clothe that had the same design and color as the other two staff in the hall, which indicated that this light green and red design with leaves and tree patterns clothes were the uniforms of this Youhan Tree organization.

Reikent then told her about Athan and 1-star special guest contract. Hearing all that, Remi looked at Athan with a doubtful look. She didn't display as much shock as Wulsen and Melony. 

She then took out a token from below the desk and gave it to Athan by throwing it towards him before speaking in the same lazy voice while looking at Reikent, " Executive will return in an hour. "

" Hahaha. Thanks, cutie. I got it. " 

Afterward, He took Athan to the exit of the hall. While walking, Athan asked, " Are we inside a tree? Judging by the name of the organization and the design of the hall and furniture..."

" Yep. Youhan Tree organization is a giant tree. Youhan Tree is a mystic-type treasure. The three main leaders who are best friends founded this organization after finding the seed of this Youhan Tree in a Chaos Phenom Dimension. Chaos Phenom Dimensions ( CPD ) appear once in a while; some stay permanently and some temporarily. You will be entering the CPD that is under the control of our organization soon. Now come on, Let me show you your place. "

After leaving the hall, Athan was slightly shocked. Reikent expected this expression of Athan and explained with a grin, " That hall was inside the pocket space branch, and there are other halls in the branch, but your place is in a different pocket space branch, and we will be going there. "

While walking, Reikent told more about Youhan Tree.

" There are three hundred branches of the Youhan Tree, and each tree branch is a pocket space. These pocket spaces of each branch are inter-connected. The token is key to your Abode and access to portals that will allow you to teleport to other pocket space branches after getting permissions. "

Athan nodded with an impressed expression. In front of him was a vast internal system of the tree as wooden paths were built inside the tree's trunk, leading to different tree branches.

" Let's go. I'll show you the way to your abode. It's not far from this branch. "

They walked for a while on the wooden road and arrived in front of a door of another branch.

Reikent opened the door, and Athan could see a vast place with a sky through it. Both of them entered and arrived in a land filled with green grasses and plant life everywhere. There was also sun in the sky.

' How...wonderful. ' Athan thought after he realized that this vast space was just one of the branches of this giant Youhan Tree. 

" There are nine other wooden abodes in this pocket space where other 1-star special guests live. You have to be careful because every single of them is more powerful than you. Your adobe is behind that mountain and right beside the waterfall. It's a good place, and you will definitely like it. "

Athan nodded while looking around. He didn't see any other abodes which means that they were at another place in this vast space.

" You can fly, right? We have to get past that mountain, so let's just fly over it. "

" I can. "

Athan released wind law energy from below the soles of his feet and levitated himself. Seeing this, Reikent nodded with a smile, " Let's go. "

Athan saw Reikent flying towards the mountain and followed him. But while flying, he noticed that Reikent wasn't using any wind or any other energy. He couldn't feel any type of energy around Reikent either, ' Strange...'

And as expected, His wind energy law is suppressed here and he could not use it as powerfully as he could in the universe. Their intensity became considerably weaker here.

After flying over the mountain, Athan saw beautiful scenery and an abode. Seeing the wooden abode made him remember how he and Tiana built the wooden house on top of the tree when they entered the Myriad Stars Academy.

The waterfall and river on one side and his abode on the other side of the land. There were trees and plants in the front and behind his abode.

After landing, Reikent and Athan entered inside the small-looking abode that turned out to be big internally.

" There are three rooms and a hall. You can cook food outside the abode by starting a fire if you want to, but people generally buy food from Food specialists. "

Saying this, Reikent sat down on the wooden sofa before taking out a plate. The plate had beautifully prepared meat with seasoning and veggies on top of it.

He cut one-fourth piece of it with a spoon and fork and gave it Athan before speaking with a grin, " Don't think that I am stingy. This piece of cooked meat is expensive, and you won't be able to handle it even if I give you all of it. "

Athan looked at the small piece of meat on top of the fork and then at Reikent, who still had that grin on his face.

" Come on. I am surprised you are holding back after smelling its aroma. Even if you are not hungry, You will feel hunger after smelling it. "

Athan gulped because that was true, ' Damn...' He felt his mouth getting watered. 

Nodding with a plain face, Athan took the fork and ate the small piece of meat.

Reikent looked intently at Athan after he saw Athan eating the piece and was prepared to save him. He knew that even this small piece of meat was too much for newly ascended beings, and he gave it to Athan because he wanted to test him a bit.

On the other hand, Athan's entire body turned red as he felt very hot inside him. His blood started to boil, and he felt explosive strength inside him. His blood vessels were expanding, and his muscles were on the verge of exploding.

But Athan hurriedly activated the white orb's power as it shined a bit and started to calm his body nerves and absorbed the blood power from meat to adjust his body.

Reikent was surprised when he saw Athan returning to normal.

Athan felt that his body became at least thirty percent stronger than before with just that piece of meat and was shocked. Previously, His body couldn't get any stronger even if he refined his body with new Law energies by combining different law powers when he reached the 10th-star body level. But now...It became stronger after eating that piece of meat.

" Hahaha. Good good. But you won't get another piece. " Reikent laughed and spoke after seeing that Athan completely turned normal and his body got stronger.

" Executive Terek will be coming here soon. Until then, Let me tell you more about the Chaosverse. "
