The Tale of the Void Emperor

It's been two days, but Athan was still focusing on creating his thing.

By now, Dean and others had left, but another wave of Athan's news spread throughout the Midgard continent.

[ The miracle genius Athan has finally ended his enlightenment in which he shockingly stayed for a year and came out as an 8-star Runic Artist! IN JUST ONE YEAR. This is the fastest a person has ever progressed in any order occupation, not just Runic Artist. ]

[ One more thing is that he seems to be creating something, and even many 10-star Runic Artists couldn't figure out what was he creating. It seems like he is creating something brand new, and we can't wait to see that invention. ]

...

At this time, the thing in front of Athan had changed from being a creature that looked like a tiger into a round black & white orb with golden patterns.

"Athan was also infusing that cold power of your inside that thing too, right Linci?" Avelia asked with curiosity as she looked at the orb in front of Athan.

"Yeah," Linci answered while nodding as she looked at the orb.

At this moment, the orb glowed with intense golden light for a brief moment before it started shrinking.

The orb that was the size of a normal-sized tiger turned into a thumb-sized orb.

After that, Athan finally opened his eyes as a faint smile lingered on his face along with excitement.

"He is finally done," Tiana said with a smile.

Athan turned around and laughed out loud as he looked at Tiana, Avelia, and Linci.

The three girls approached Athan and asked with curiosity about the thing he was creating.

"Big brother! We missed you." 

The four Nimpere clan brothers also dashed towards Athan as they stood respectfully on the side and bowed, "Thank you for the great opportunity. We brothers have acquired powerful innate physique, and we will not let Big brother down and find suitable wives for us using it."

Silence...

Athan, Tiana, and the other two looked at the four brothers with a speechless expression before everyone burst out laughing.

"Let's go, brothers! Now that we have finally greeted our Big brother, we will go train hard in CPD to make our physique powerful and impress the beauties."

"Yeeeaaah, let's goooo...."

Afterward, the four Nimpere clan brothers prepared to leave.

"Wait," Athan stopped with a grin as he threw the thumb-sized orb towards them.

The eldest brother caught the orb, "This..."

They knew that it was their Big brother's creation and must be valuable but didn't know why he would give it to them.

"This is the prototype of the thing that I aim to create. It...shall be known as Voidling Zoid. To use that thing, you will have to infuse a bit of your soul energy and soul sense into it to establish a connection with it."

The four Nimpere clan brothers looked at each other and gulped before the eldest asked, "What does it do, big brother?"

"Hahaha, find that out yourself. Since you are going to a CPD, then use it for hunting chaos beasts," Athan answered with a laugh.

"Thank you very much, big brother!" The four brothers thanked Athan with excitement as they wondered what kind of thing Athan created and flew deeper into the cloudly land.

"What exactly is that thing, Athan? You called it Voidling Zoid, so it is some kind of voidling? How powerful is it?" Tiana asked with curiosity.

Avelia and Linci also nodded as they looked at Athan, seeking his answer.

Athan faintly smiled and said, "That's not the final product as I need to improve a lot in that, but...hehe, that thing is powerful enough to kill a Zen order Elite and capable of fighting against Zen order Master."

"Wait...you are saying that with this thing, other weaker people who are at any orderic catastrophe phase...can use that thing to kill a Zen order elite and fight against a Zen order master," Avelia asked with a shocked expression.

"Not just you, but now others as well?" Linci asked with a follow-up the same question with shock on her face.

"Hahaha, correct! For now, I have two blueprints in mind: Voidling-Zoid and Voidling-Mecha Zoid. The latter is a bit difficult, and it will take time to do it, but I will complete the former soon," Athan spoke with excitement as he laughed and continued, "I just realized that my power could be utilized as an ultimate support power as well. Hehe, I can't wait to complete my first Voidling-Zoid."

"Sure, but that can wait. We have waited for a long time, so we want to spend some time with you." Avelia said with a pout.

"Of course, that's my intention as well." Athan gently smiled as he held Avelia's hand.

Tiana smiled warmly as well.

On the other hand, Linci blushed a bit as she said, "Umm...Then I will go since I have some work to do regarding crafting."

After Linci left, Athan, Tiana, and Avelia also flew deeper into the cloudly land before they entered a high-grade CPD for the duration of one month by paying 500 monolith credits.

...

On the other hand, The Nimpere clan brothers entered inside a mid-grade CPD for training.

This mid-grade CPD was known as the Garden of Blood Root, and there were chaos beasts up to peak 6-star grade, which means that they were equivalent to people at the peak of the orderic catastrophe phase.

After entering, they directly fought with Bloodthirsty vine chaos beasts and cursed their luck for encountering two peak 6-star chaos beasts.

All of them glowed colorfully as they were also using the innate physique they got through Efyeed, but that power was still in the growth stage and was not matured to their level.

"Big brother, let's hope your creation can beat those beasts. Otherwise, we will have to run away in front of that treasure." The eldest brother muttered as he badly wanted that high-grade material Symphioning Blade Grass but couldn't take it because of Bloodthirsty vine chaos beasts.

He then infused his soul energy and soul sense into the thumb-sized orb before it shined brightly.

After the brief glow, the orb expanded and changed form as it became a badass-looking tiger with two cannons on its back, black glowing teeth, and vein patterns of yellow-brown and dark blue on its body.

Eldest could feel a connection with that strange beast, and without wasting time on being surprised, he used the connection and commanded the beasts to attack the chaos beasts.

*Roar.....*

The voidling-Zoid moved with exceptional speed as it appeared in front of the most powerful chaos beast in the group.

The two cannon on its back pulsed with a terrifying aura before a bust of Netherly frost was released.

Right after that, the Tiger dashed in front of another beast as it swiped its claw that sparkled with yellow-brown lightning and dark blue at the chaos beast.

*Chreeeeeee...*

The chaos beast was shredded and died.

Afterward, the Tiger opened its mouth and released a sharp beam of black aura that turned into a sword and sliced the remaining chaos beasts with it.

"Sword wielded by the mouth of a beast? That's new!" The youngest brother shouted in excitement as he was also a sword user.

"That sword exudes a similar aura to the black power of big brother. No wonder those beasts died instantly."

"Scary...how did big brother make something like this? He can sell those orbs at a very high price considering their power. Also, weak people will have more safe adventures."

"Don't forget about those words of big brother. He said that this is an only prototype, which means that this thing is still not complete."

"Damn!!"

The four brothers sucked in a breath of cold air.
