The Tale of the Void Emperor

Linci frowned when she felt Athan entering the mixed color lightning water pool.

' Is he really not affected by my power. ' Her heart started to beat faster when she thought of it, but she still couldn't believe it.

Finally, she opened her eyes out of curiosity and...

" W-what is going on?! Y-you...what are you doing? "

Linci stuttered as she was shocked to find that the power releases from her body flowed towards Athan as if attracted by him and disappeared right before they reached him.

All those dark blue wisps just disappeared right before reaching Athan.

" Nyahahaha. See, Master? I can absorb her power easily. " Primo spoke like a kid with a proud face as he absorbed the dark blue wisps while floating before Athan.

Athan nodded at him with a smile before replying to Linci, " I told you that your power wouldn't work on me. "

After saying that, he closed his eyes and started to absorb the Blitzer Pool's power inside his body.

The chaotic yellow, blue, and red mixed lightning water in this pool was a type of energy from a chaotic power that refined and strengthened their physical body.

Athan absorbed it inside before spreading it throughout his body to refine and strengthen it.

On the other hand, Linci didn't know how she should feel about this. The sight in front of her was so unbelievable that her mind went blank.

' What is going on? How is he able to do that? How...is that possible? ' This felt like a dream to her.

Even though her father was not strongest in Upper Chaosverse, He still came around somewhere middle level in strength in Upper Chaosverse, but even he could only stay for 15 minutes around 2 meters of her.

So how could Athan, a person at Orderic catastrophe, actually absorb her power? 

Linci closed her eyes and thought, ' I must be dreaming. '

After a while, She opened her eyes only to find the reality that she was indeed not dreaming.

At that moment, she felt something churning inside, and her heart beat faster.

*pattter...crack..*

Athan opened his eyes hearing the sound, and raised his eyebrows when he saw that Linci stood just a meter away from him with a nervous expression.

Linci moved her eyes around in nervousness before finally speaking after taking a deep breath, " A-Athan...C-can you help me? I...No, I mean, can you help me s-seal this power? "

" Seal? " Athan repeated with a questioning tone.

Linci's eyes turned slightly red as if she was remembering, and she tried her best to hold back her tears before speaking, " Yes. This power is like a curse for me. I-I can't even my mother because of it..." 

Pausing there, she took a deep breath to calm the various emotions inside her before speaking, " After giving me birth, My mother was fatally injured by this power, and my father barely saved her, but she is still in a blank state and can't move. In her case, I can't even go near 10 meters of her because this cursed power contaminates her soul, and if I go near her, the leftover power that contaminated her will become active and flare up...and if that happens, s-she will die. " 

Taking another deep breath, Linci continued, " My father went to many mighty people, but they couldn't save her because her soul was contaminated, and they couldn't separate it from her because if they did that, she would truly die. So...can you try and see if you can seal the power inside me? If you can do it, then you can surely save my mother too. Please, Athan...Ca-"

" Sure. "

" What?! " Linci couldn't believe what she heard.

Athan grinned and leaned back before speaking, " I will help if I can. Or what? Am I supposed to reject you and demand something in return for help? "

Linci blankly nodded because she thought that Athan would sure demand something like any normal person would do. 

" Hahaha. " Athan laughed out loud before looking at Linci and grinning, " After hearing you, I had a feeling sprout inside that I hadn't felt for a long time, and it made me realize something..." Athan shook his head while smiling at the end as he remembered his uncle and aunt.

" Will you really help me? " Linci once again asked with disbelief in her voice.

Athan casually smiled and turned nonchalant, " No need to ask a second time. But before that, I still need to see if it's possible to seal that power. "

Linci nodded as she actually couldn't help but cry. She has lived in despair all this time because she saw no hope in saving her mother and do anything about her power.

At this time, Primo also turned happy that Master decided to help Linci and laughed. 

" Master...Can I show myself to this girl? " Primo asked with round sparkly eyes.

Athan smiled faintly before speaking carefreely, " You can make such decisions yourself. If you feel like you want to show yourself to someone, then you can do it. "

Primo was moved before thinking internally, ' Master, I am here to meet you and also to assist Master in any form and way I can. So, I will only show myself allies of Master. '

Primo then turned around and flew towards Linci's right side before revealing his existence.

On the other hand, Linci saw that the direction of her power absorbed changed as it went to her right side and disappeared there.

Right at that moment, she heard a childish voice, " Hehehe, Hello miss. " 

" Ah!..." Linci was startled as she looked at her left side and saw a mysterious cat looking at her while floating there.

" You...my power.." Linci became confused and looked at Primo and Athan repeatedly...like what the heck is going on? 

" Nyahahaha, I will remove your confusion right away. " Primo laughed before jumping onto Athan's shoulder before continuing, " My name is Primo, A name given by my Master, Athan. I am a unique existence known as Voidling, born by my Master's thoughts. You can say that he is my creator—a reason for my existence. "

Linci was shocked as she felt that mystery around Athan suddenly increased.

" Anyway, come here and let my Master touch you so he can check if it's possible to seal your power. " Primo spoke.

Hearing that, Athan was speechless while Linci blushed. But she didn't hesitate and moved near Athan before showing her back to him.

" Umm...Be careful because once you touch me, the power will burst out. " Linci spoke in a nervous tone.

" Nyahaha, don't worry. Master doesn't need to spend his energy on that since I can easily absorb your power. " Primo spoke after floating in front of Linci and laughed.

Athan stretched his hand and touched her bare part below the neck area on her hand.

And right at that moment, a bust of dark, cold aura and dark blue wisps came out.

But Primo snorted as all those power got absorbed into his body.

" Ehh...Why are you turning so red? " Primo asked while looking at Linci, who was blushing like crazy.

Linci was blushing because she has never been touched like this. At most, she did handshakes but that's because she takes initiative to it and only does handshake for one second. That way her power won't directly flare out.. But right now, It was the first time that someone touched her for more than a second, and feeling a strange sensation like this.
