The Tale of the Void Emperor

A month passed as Athan already mastered the Initial-level elite essence order technique, Myriad Crystal Motile Cannons. 

This technique didn't have levels, and even though it was complicated, Athan's comprehension had increased a notch after his soul boost, so he managed to master the technique in fourteen days. After all, techniques are easier to learn than methods. But still, Athan's speed was monstrous compared to geniuses here as they also take one-two month to master Initial-level elite order techniques.

Since this was an Essence order technique, He had to learn the complex order sets and form them inside his void region using his order force so he could release them afterward. 

' With this technique, The voidlings will become more powerful. ' Thought Athan as he waved his right hand and conjured a Voidling-Razor Wings Eagle.

But on top of that voidling was a hexagonal crystal with a height of 40 centimeters and a width of 20 centimeters,

The crystal was shining with dark blue and light blue sparks, and it was wrapped around the eagle with a crystal chain that Athan created.

Normally, the Myriad Crystal Motile Cannons technique is used to create multiple crystal cannons with different chaotic power natures so that they can aid the user in battle by releasing different nature of chaotic powers that the user possesses.

For instance, Athan has two offensive nature of chaotic powers: Lightning Dust and Force of Glittering River. Now he can create multiple crystal cannons with the nature Lightning Dust and Force of Glittering River.

The crystal cannon's structure is created with a set of order forces that releases the chaotic powers in condensed form with two additional after-effects: Splash blast and Penetrative Shot.

Athan can decide which type to choose while preparing the technique inside his void region.

When Athan saw this technique, he got an idea to use these techniques with his voidlings. He just had to do a simple modification that was very easy: Energy absorption.

Generally, The crystal cannons float around the user, and the user has a link with it from which he/she can provide chaos force to the crystal to release cannon shots. For instance, If Athan would have to provide chaos force to the crystal cannons so they can release cannon attacks of lightning dust and force of the glittering river.

The range is 30 meters; if crystals are 30 meters away from the user, the user can't provide chaotic force.

But Athan decided to put that link on his voidlings, and while forming voidlings, he decided to conjure a small crystal inside their body that can contain chaos force.

With that, His Voidlings can have more firepower, and he can use them in many ways. This way, The Voidliongs can first attack using these crystal cannons, so their original energy of abyssal darkness is consumed less, and they can stay in battle for a longer time.

As Athan looked at the final product, He received a signal from his crystal card inside his storage ring and took it out.

He infused his soul sense into it and saw that the notification was about this month's reward, and he also remembered that he had yet to check the rewards he got in the past year.

Athan called out to Sen, who was practicing her technique by sparring with Shiromi and asked about the Curiazat Fruits.

" Oh, those fruits? They can basically speed up the coming of catastrophes by a bit, but their main function is to consolidate your Orderic Codex. After all, with each phase passing, we need a lot of time to consolidate our Order Eidos. " Sen explained with a happy expression.

" I see..." Athan nodded before thinking, ' My order Eidos has formed, but it's only consolidated for about 30% right now. Also, It's been three months since the first Body order catastrophe. I wonder when I will get my second body order catastrophe...'

In the past year, He received thirteen catastrophes in total, and twelve of them only consisted of initial phase catastrophe that slowly formed his Order Eidos. Before leaving there, He thought he would only need four catastrophes, but he was wrong as the final completion of Order Eidos progressed at snail's pace and required twelve catastrophes to survive until his Order Eidos formed.

Right after he passed through that phase, He entered body order catastrophe since his body strength had already reached the purple realm 1st step. After entering that phase, A body order catastrophe directly appeared from the atmosphere to attack and kill him. Naturally, he survived that, and he got mystical chaotic energy after passing the catastrophe that refined his body to make it stronger.

But It's been three months since that time, and the 2nd body catastrophe has yet to appear. He knows that everyone has a different situation while in the orderic catastrophe phase, so he could only wonder about his situation and can't make a solid guess.

According to the general knowledge, Athan knew that it takes six months to two years for the coming of catastrophes in the Body order catastrophe phase.

And the timing of those catastrophes can be sped up by eating those Curiazat Fruits. The effect of fruits varies from person to person as the yare natural resource of Chaosverse. They are basically called catastrophe callers.

Athan took out all eight Curiazat fruits and ate them one by one.

Theo glanced at Athan with speechlessness and muttered, " Dang..."

After eating those eight fruits, Athan easily consolidated his Order Eidos. There was still 56% of fruits' energy left, which can help him consolidate his Order Eidos once it receives another upgrade after he survives another catastrophe. 

He waited for the catastrophe to come, but after waiting for thirty minutes, there was no sign of any catastrophe coming.

Theo, Arcued, and others were also dumbfounded as by now, Theo also told them that Athan ate 8 Curiazat fruits.

" What's going on? Those were Curiazat fruits, not cabbages, right? Why his catastrophe didn't come even after eating eight of those? " Shiromi asked with doubt.

Hearing that, others nodded in agreement as Sen spoke with a wry smile, " Indeed. I think with eight fruits, Athan might be able to call two catastrophes. " Looking at Athan, she continued, " That was your intention, right? "

Athan nodded with a slight frown on his face, " Even if my catastrophe was supposed to come in 2 years, Those eight fruits should've been enough to call one catastrophe. "

" Humph, I think that the world is trying to stop Emperor's advance, His Order Eidos was also not formed at all when he broke thought, and now the coming of his body order catastrophe are also taking their time. " Arcued snorted before looking at the sky, " But they can't stop his advance! "

Shiromi, Sen, Tealery, and Theo became speechless for a moment before Sen spoke, " So guys, Let's go eat something delicious together. I haven't eaten for a while now. "

" Good Idea. "

" Let's go. "

" Athan, you are coming with us too, right? "
