The Tale of the Void Emperor

Gaarshil looked blankly out of the window while his brother just stood behind him without saying anything.

However, both brothers' eyes went wide when they saw someone on the other side of the window.

It was ATHAN! And he was bathing in his own blood...quite literally.

"W-what is he doing outside? courting death?" Benil uttered with shock.

He knew that this kid was at the peak of Zen order elite from his exuded aura. 

"Brother, who is that kid? Benil asked Gaarshil, wanting to snap him out of his thoughts as well.

Gaarshil looked at Athan with complicated eyes as he sighed. Lenix told him everything through sound transmission when he was in the room. He knew that Athan was the only reason why his wife recovered, and the berserk power of his daughter got under control was also because of him.

"Elena is cured because of him," Gaarshil said.

"What! How?" Benil was truly dumbfounded, "He is...wait," Benil tried to probe Athan deeply but failed, "I can't see through him even though he is just zen order elite."

Gaarshil nodded as he knew that Athan was as simple what he externally showed.

"But why is he injuring himself by going outside? His physical body is clearly very weak," Benil said with a frown.

"Go and talk to him. Remember, he is...our important guest," Gaarshil said before he stood up and left the room with hesitating footsteps.

However, upon reaching the door, he turned back again and sat down with a sigh. 

Benil shook his head as he internally sighed. He can't say anything in this matter. 

Once the entire matter regarding Linci reached Elena, she...would definitely get angry, and her wrath was not something anyone could endure. However, he held a hope that Elena wouldn't take action in haste.

He then left the room and went towards Athan.

This entire Crow House was a large floating castle on a tiny island with three giant sections. Deep below this floating castle was ground and greenery, but they were vastly different and...very powerful.

Athan was soaking in this dangerous atmosphere that was twice as worse as the special-grade chaos phenom dimension.

The strings of order sets were rapidly connecting as he was combining the five chaotic powers he comprehended in the special-grade chaos phenom dimension in the Midgard continent.

The 3rd mini-chaotic world was rapidly producing and becoming perfect each second as Athan combined and modified the five chaotic powers to create a new one.

Those five chaotic powers were mostly related to extreme control. Among them, two chaotic powers were status-type offense and control mix, while the other three chaotic powers were pure control as their order sets were full of control-type characteristics and properties.

"Nyaa! Master, I guess it's time you take a step ahead in your mastery of Abyssal Void of Fabrication," Primo flew around Athan excitedly because Primo could feel that Athan managed to grasp more of Abyssal Void of Fabrication in that room.

Now he just needed to start this enlightenment of AVOF and upgrade his soul.

Athan nodded with a grin as a black and white aura oozed out from his body, slowly covering him. His soul was in the same process as it was shining brightly with black and white aura while also sparkling with black and white motes inside the soul's body.

But Athan paused and took back all aura as he turned to his left side and saw Benil. Seeing him, Athan thought of something and asked when Benil had just arrived in front of him, "do you have a quiet place in this castle?"

Benil was going to speak, but Athan asked him the question before he could do that. Still, he answered first with a nod, "we indeed have such a place. Do you want to enter into meditation?"

Benil guessed because he felt that Athan might want to do that.

"I Indeed need to enter meditation," Athan nodded indifferently before saying, "please lead me there and don't let anyone disturb me, or I won't be responsible for their deaths."

Benil was speechless, but he fake coughed and nodded as he put on a smile, "I'll lead you there. Follow me,"

Both of them entered the castle's open lobby where a garden was and entered the barrier. A barrier also covered this entire castle, but it was a very strange barrier. Athan could easily pass it as he had already done that, and only after leaving the barrier did he understand its function.

The atmosphere outside the barrier was horrendous but inside the barrier was energetic, calm, and peaceful.

Athan followed Benil back into the castle as they entered through giant castle gates.

After walking for a while, Benil led Aren in front of a room and said with a smile, "behind this door is a meditating ground of one of the peace dimensions. A door-shaped portal will be visible to you once you go inside, and you can come out here anytime you wish from there."

After saying that, Benil opened the door as one could see a bright and lively scenery filled with nature like grass, trees, mountain, rivers, etc., and finally two bright suns that showered everything with their gentle light and aura.

Athan nodded as he entered inside and found a large tree before sitting under it.

After a minute, Athan was covered in a mystical black and white cocoon. Black and white sparks pulsed on the cocoon while a mysterious grey aura flowed all around the cocoon from left to right, top to bottom, and crisscross.

Primo flew around the cocoon with excitement. Not just him but all the voidlings at that mysterious place were also excited as they sensed's their master gaining more mastery and understanding over Abyssal Void of Fabrication.

"Nyaa, I hope master can reach at least 7% for now. Hmmm... never mind, 6% is fine as well since he will likely reach 10% after breaking through to Evagon-realm based on what I sensed from his comprehension of AVOF," Primo excitedly muttered. Primo knew that Athan was getting and grasping the idea more and more in the Zinger town.. So Athan just needed to piece it together, which he did in Elena's room to get 6th percent of AVOF's understanding and grasp it.
