After Athan passed through the catastrophe and made some progress in forming his Order Eidos, he continued to watch the strange power coursing through his body.

After four hours, Athan saw that the power finally refined his entire body as he felt his body get stronger. He could additionally feel one more thing inside his body. It was like gained an organ that he could control as if his limbs. 

But, he couldn't see the organ physically because it had merged entirely into every part of his body. Naturally, Even though he could not physically see it, He could sense it easily and even use it. He also knew the name of this power.

Vymporic Cerulean Body Physique. He really gained a unique, innate physique. But it was a body physique. 

But Athan was surprised to find that this body physique was actually not bad. It turned out to be powerful than he expected.

He had seen people with unique innate physiques, Soul physique people were rare, but he had seen them in the test too. They were powerful, but none of them was a match for his power, which was obvious.

But this body physique he acquired...he felt that it was the most potent physique he had seen.

' Did this tree deliberately allow me to comprehend a more powerful unique physique's phenomenon? Vymporic Cerulean...It's indeed mighty and extremely useful. ' Thought Athan as he looked at the chaos enlightenment tree that was still caressing him with its soft and lush emerald vines.

Athan could actually feel his body get slightly more robust as the vines caressed his body.

The tree started swaying more lively when Athan looked at its trunk, and something happened.

A part of the trunk's surface glowed before some strange symbols appeared on it. 

Athan narrowed his eyes as he looked at those symbols, and right then, he felt some thoughts entering his mind from those symbols.

' Hello, mysterious being. I want to form a contract with you. '

Athan was a bit startled when he heard those thoughts inside his mind and looked at the Chaos Enlightenment Tree's trunk where It formed the symbols.

' Contract with me? But why? ' Thought Athan as he directly asked the tree verbally, " Why do you want to form a contract with me? "

Hearing Athan's question, The tree swayed more, and the symbols on the trunk changed once again, and the number of symbols also significantly increased. 

Athan once again sensed thoughts coming from those symbols as they entered his mind.

' The person who brought me here from Upper Chaosverse is already dead, and I am no longer bound here. But I can't move on my own, and none of the people here can form a contract with me because they are too weak. You, on the other hand, are very mysterious. I can feel a strange power from you and...also a chance to improve myself with you. '

Athan raised his eyebrows after receiving those thoughts, ' This tree...It will be a good asset if I can have it. But I need it to clarify some things. '

" What will happen once we form a contract? " Athan asked about the contract first since he doesn't know how and what will happen. Will he actually be able to take the tree with him? But how?

The symbols on the trunk changed before Athan received the thoughts from them.

' Once we form a contract, I can stay inside your chaos region and move with you. But I don't know if your current chaos region can house me. I choose you because you are a very mysterious being, unlike anything I sensed before. I don't know if the current you can house me inside you, but even if you can't right now, we can still form a contract, and you can pick me up later when you can. '

The symbols rapidly changed once again as Athan received more thoughts right after that.

' I see an unknown future with you, and I want to see that because I am totally bored here. If I could move on my own, I would've left ages ago. Please form a contract with me and take me with you, O' mysterious being. '

Athan thought for a moment before laughing out loud, " Hahaha, Alright. Tell me how to form the contract with you. Also, I can probably house you right now. "

The tree swayed excitedly as if happy with Athan's response before changing the symbols once again.

Athan received the thoughts, and right after that, the tree's trunk glowed before a hole appeared on it, and a colorful orb appeared from it.

' This is my soul orb. You can put a drop of your blood and some soul energy in it to form the contract. '

Athan nodded with a smile as he walked towards the colorful glowing orb and put a drop of his blood on it before infusing a big of his soul energy in it.

Athan used his original soul energy that was black with a white border and white sparks inside it. He was not intending to hurt it and could control it perfectly since gaining a 5% of understanding of the abyssal void of fabrication. 

Since he did not intend to hurt it with his soul energy, It instead benefitted the tree.

' Aaaaahhh...'

Athan directly heard the scream of the tree inside his head since both formed a connection after he put his drop of blood and soul energy in the soul orb.

He was startled hearing the scream and hurriedly asked, " What happened? "

The tree swayed violently, and the fairies merged back into the tree.

*meow....*

Athan didn't receive any answer, but Primo jumped on Athan's shoulder before meowing.

Primo's eyes shined as it looked at the tree and spoke excitedly, " Nyaa...The tree is mutating because of the input of your soul energy. Hmmm, Its core slightly changed, but nothing major happened...for now. "

Athan caught the word and asked while raising his eyebrows, " For now? "

  Primo nodded, " Yes, Master. For now, The soul energy inputted is not enough to trigger major change. Currently, The little bit of soul energy you gave to its soul orb triggered a mutation and will change it so that it can evolve in the future. "

" What If I give more of my soul energy to it right now? "

' No, Master. I need time to mutate my soul orb and make it such that it can accept your strange power in the future. If you give more of it right now, I'm afraid that some mishap will happen to me. '

Athan received the tree's thoughts before Primo could answer.

'Master, my real name is Efyeed. Now I will enter your chaos region, so please remove that strange forcefield around your body. '

Athan nodded as he deactivated the power of his void robe. Right after that, the whole tree shined and entered inside the colorful soul orb.

The soul orb then went towards Athan's chest before entering inside him. Athan guided the soul orb inside his void region before it turned into the giant tree that it was outside.

' Ehh...Master. This place...doesn't seem like a chaos region. ' Efyeed was shocked as it spoke in a startled voice.
