Chapter 184 - 589-603

Chapter 589 - Fight!

Athan and Lady Fu hurridly arrived there to see Zorgia holding off two Evagon-grade beasts while the Jourgan and Koinshi were holding off another two Evagon-grade chaos beasts.

These four chaos beasts looked the same with a thick and big serpent body with four wings. They had dark green scales with a golden pattern.

Midrokin Serpent chaos beast.

The two Midrokin serpents that Zorgia was holding back were at the peak of Evagon-grade, while the other two Midrokin serpents were weaker.

On the other hand, Tiana and all others were entangled with a Bat-winged Demon Doe chaos beast which was their task.

Athan and Lady Fu hurridly arrived on their cloud of chaos with super-fast speed.

Lady Fu directly went to help Zorgia while Athan first glanced at Tiana and others for a brief moment before looking at the two Midrokin serpents fighting against Jourgan and Koinshi.

To finish that fight quickly, he used his Gaze of Void on the two chaos beasts, which stunned and suppressed them. This allowed Jourgan and Koinshi to kill the two defenseless beasts.

*Hissssssssss.....*

Sensing the death of their companions, the other two Midrokin serpents increased their aggression. However, Zorgia and Lady Fu fought calmly and gradually injured them.

Athan told Jourgan and Koinshi not to join that battle and instead ordered them to go and check out their surroundings.

Afterward, Athan observed the battle between Bat-winged Demon Doe vs. Tiana and others.

Tiana and Avelia were using genome skills to disrupt Bat-winged Demon Doe while others took that chance to inflict injuries on it.

However, even though Bat-winged Demon Doe was an early-stage Evagon-grade beast, its attacks were still powerful, and it also had its Evagon-domain, which troubled Tiana and others.

"It's releasing that power again! Everyone, prepare your defense,' Tiana shouted as she saw the patterns on the bat-wings of that chaos beast pulsing with a red glow.

All of them were injured to a varying degree, with Arcued even losing his left leg and other injuries.

Avelia hurridly released her Disruptive Ray genome skill. Still, the beast had already tasted that attack and hurriedly dodged it before flapping its bat-like wings one time to release its large attack as a devastating blood-red wave filled with countless black slashes released all around it.

When that beast released this attack the first time, they couldn't defend against it properly, and all of them were injured severely.

So, Sen, Linci, Shiromi, Tealery, Arcued, Theo, and four Nimpere brothers hurridly grouped up after hearing Tiana's warning and were ready to deploy their defense together.

All of them were wounded, but they didn't let it bother them and focused on the battle. If they couldn't concentrate and fight properly due to pain and injuries, they would have either died or been seriously injured by now.

That's why Athan let them do the training of suffering pain and injuries before.

"Haaaaaaaa!" The four Nimpere brothers loudly shouted as they superimposed their defensive order technique, Plazaric Dome.

Sen, Shiromi, Linci, Arcued, and Theo also deployed their defensive order techniques to make multiple defenses around them.

On the other hand, Tiana and Avelia activated their Geno Frames as mystical full-body armor covered their body.

Tiana and Avelia became very powerful after being covered in their respective Geno Frames: Night Kindred and Teronic El Zerald. They even ignored the effect of Bat-winged Demon Doe's Evagon domain and started raining attacks on the chaos beasts with their order techniques and soul attacks.

Soul order techniques were the only thing that supported them because their other attacks did not make much impact on the beast's powerful physical body.

So they had planned to kill the beast by annihilating its soul.

The beast was not new in early-stage Evagon-grade but was close to its breakthrough, so their first opponent was very tough.

All defense put on by Sen, Linci, Shiromi, Arcued, Theo, and Nimpere brothers was broken before they were attacked by the red wave that injured them more but not as much as before because of their timely defense this time reduced the incoming impact by a lot.

Arcued's eyes gleamed as he was ready to dash one more time with his scythe and break the soul defense of chaos beast because only he was capable of doing that because of his unique soul physique that had the power to steal enemy's soul defense (power) and increase his own.

But Tealery stopped him and wiped the blood on his head before slapping him, "Stop being reckless!"

Shiromi frowned and said, "Wait for us to ready our attacks and match our timing. After you break the soul defense, we will release our soul attacks at the same time."

Sen and Linci nodded, "We informed Tiana and Avelia about it, and they will make that opening for Arcued to go reach the chaos beast."

*Crackles...*

"My speed is fastest after I combine my technique and physique's power with the cloud of chaos. I will take Arcued there," Theo spoke as he stood on his cloud of chaos while covered in a lightning beast with red patterns.

"We are ready!" The Nimpere brothers shouted with determination as they started to prepare.

After a minute, Tiana and Avelia told them to execute the plan.

*Zoooooooooom...*

Theo took Arcued with him as Arcued gathered his soul power on his soul scythe.

The Bat-winged Demon Doe was entangled by Tiana and Avelia as Theo and Arcued arrived there with fast speed.

"Aaaaaaaaa....," Arcued shouted as he slashed his scythe on the chaos beast's body.

*Hrooooooo...*

The beast cried in pain as the scythe passed through the body because it was a soul scythe and directly attacked the beast's soul.

Right after that, other soul attacks of Sen, Shiromi, Linci, Tealery, and four Nimpere brothers arrived, and Theo also released his soul order technique.

Seeing that, Athan nodded in satisfaction, 'They can only defeat Evagon-grade beasts using their soul power for now. But they should be able to do that without using soul power after reaching Zen order grandmaster and getting a higher level of order force and chaos force.'

Athan decided that he would forbid them to use their soul energy after they breakthrough to Zen order grandmaster because he didn't want them to be reliant on their powerful soul and wanted them to become powerful in every way.

Chapter 590 - Unfinished Business.

Lady Fu and Zorgia also killed the two serpents shortly after Tiana and others killed Bat-winged Demon Doe chaos beast.

Sen, Tiana, and others were resting on the barren ground as Lady Fu and Athan were healing them.

Zorgia repaired the large formation that he put in this area. Athan ordered him to put it here after they found the Bat-winged Demon Doe chaos beast for the first battle of Tiana and others. After all, without the formation, It would be hard for Tiana and others to fight due to the chaotic atmosphere and wild, chaotic powers.

So this barrier was constantly blocking the chaotic atmosphere and powers of this area so that Tiana and others could fight the beasts without additional trouble from other chaotic powers here.

When the Midrokin serpents arrived, zorgia and the other two elders hurriedly went out of the formation barrier and blocked them lest they break it.

"Athan~ Why don't we go out for a month to take some rest?" Sen asked as she arrived behind Athan and hugged him, pressing her melons on his back.

Lady Fu agreed and said with a smile, "They've been training for a few years here now, so it's better to go out from his chaotic atmosphere for a month or two."

Athan nodded as he planned to go out for two months for some rest. After all, It's not wise to constantly stay here and train in this brutal environment because it will have adverse effects and decrease their training efficiency. But after getting a breather and some freshness outside, their training speed can be increased.

With a smile, Athan announced, "Let's go to Heaven's Tranquility. This time, we will enjoy the most expensive package."

Hearing that, everyone cheered happily.

Internally, Athan's eyes gleamed, 'It is also time to complete that unfinished business.'

...

After a few days, they went straight back towards the exit portal and left the special-grade chaos phenom dimension before activating the camouflage formation and hiding the portal again.

This was the personal entry and exit portal of Dean Lenix and Head Zangrel. As for how other people enter here? They must have found other portals leading to this special-grade chaos phenom dimension that is more special since it has a path leading to upper-chaosverse as well.

After ten days of traveling, Athan told Lady Fu to pause the flying ship and gathered everyone in the central hall of the ship.

"I am going to separate from you all to finish an unfinished business," Athan said before he looked at Lady Fu and Zorgia, "You two will stay with them and guard them in Heaven's Tranquility."

Athan's eyes turned cold as he continued, "Last time, two rats trespassed in our area, and nobody noticed them. The staff of Heaven's Tranquility knew about it for sure, but they didn't stop them. Anyway, I killed those two rats since I caught them, but this time, I am not there for some days, so nothing like that must repeat."

Zorgia raised his eyebrows and said, "I heard that old coot's two sons died Heaven's Tranquility as well...So it was young master Athan's work."

"Where are you going, Athan?" Avelia asked with a pout, "We want to spend time with you in Heaven's Tranquility."

Tiana and Sen agreed.

"Sigh...I feel lonely," Eldest's brother muttered as he looked at ninety degrees in the sky.

The other three brothers followed as they sighed as well while Theo coughed and leaned back on the couch.

Athan smiled wryly and said, "I will be back after some days, so don't worry."

"Athan, you should take Jourgan and Koinshi with you wherever you are going. I know you don't need protection but think of them as errand boys. After all, if you want to do some small things, you can order them," Lady Fu said after thinking for a moment.

"Yes, young master Athan! Please take us with you!" Jourgan and Koinshi shouted with fervor. Staying close to Athan and doing things for him will only have benefits for them. Who knows, he might use his magic on them and elevate their soul to help them break through?

Athan thought for a moment and nodded, "One of them is fine. You two decide who will come with me," Athan looked at Jourgan and Koinshi after saying that.

Zorgia wanted to go, but he didn't say anything because he knew Athan wouldn't allow it. He and Lady Fu had tasks to become guardians of Tiana and others in Heaven's Tranquility.

However, after five minutes, there was no decision since both wanted to go with Athan.

With a frown, Athan created a coin using his voidpulse and did a coin toss after explaining the rules.

"Heads," Jourgan.

"Tails," Koinshi.

*tink....*

"Its tails," Athan said after looking at the coin. He then looked at Tiana, Avelia, Sen, and others before saying with a smile, "You all go there first; I will arrive after a few days."

"Be careful, Athan," Tiana couldn't help but utter this with worry.

...

A smaller flying ship is left from the bigger flying ship.

Inside the small flying ship that was five meters long and three meters wide, Jourgana was controlling the ship while Athan sat down on the couch.

This ship looked like a pirate ship, and it was open with a barrier around it so Athan could see the scenery as well.

"Go to the nearest big town," Athan said as he took out a contact card.

"Yes, young master Athan," Koinshi nodded.

On the other hand, Athan contacted Dean Lenix.

Dean Lenix--, "Hoho, Athan. It's been a while. So? What business do you have?"

Athan--, "How is it going for Mike and Qerin?"

Dean Lenix--, "Oh them? They are participating in the Rift battle and are doing good so far."

Athan--, "Rift Battle? When did it start?"

Dean Lenix--, "It started shortly after you all went to train in the special-grade CPD. The Rift battle will be over after three more years, and they are sure to progress rapidly after that."

Athan--, "Good. Anyway, I called you to tell you that I am going to complete that unfinished business. You don't need to come with me but handle the news when it starts to spread."

Dean Lenix--, "Unfinished business? Oh, that business. Well, One of the brothers has broken through to High-stage Evagon-realm, so do your planning by taking that into account."

Athan--, "Got it."

Chapter 591 - Zinger Town

Zinger Mole Region.

Zinger Town.

Athan and Koinshi entered this one of the largest regions in the Midgard continent, and it was under the territory of Jade Star Organization.

Both of them left their flying ship and walked into a large bustling town.

"I need some clothes," Athan said while walking.

Koinshi nodded and instantly walked to some people and asked them about the stores that sell clothes. Naturally, no clothes were normal clothes here as all of them were created with mystical properties and had some form of defenses enchanted on them.

Athan doesn't need to wear clothes like other people because of his void robe, which grants him the best assistance and a cool outfit. However, He wanted to change his appearance a bit before going to finish his business.

While Koinshi gathered information, Athan continued moving on the bustling street as he walked silently with his closed eyes. Naturally, he could still observe everything with his soul sense, but there was a tiny little bird voidling on his shoulder and another flying on top of him as he observed everything through their eyes.

The town was luxurious as it had large and tall buildings with significantly varying styles. Each of them had its own unique style, like one of the buildings called Plum Inn occupied fifty square meters area and was entirely made up of some kind of wood. In contrast, another building was made up of some kind of dreamy blue crystal structure with light grey mystical metal and looked like an armory shop. That was varying the buildings were in this large town.

It was a long time since he entered a bustling town.

He continued to walk aimlessly for a few minutes before Koinshi arrived with the information.

"Let's go, young master Athan. The store you want is a bit deeper into the town," Koinshi said as he led Athan deeper into the town.

While walking, Koinshi said, "There's also a grand auction event that will start three days later. It's one of the biggest auctions in the Midgard continent."

This town and this region were one of the more bustling places in the entire Midgard continent.

It makes sense since it is under the Jade Star Organization, which is no less inferior than Great Bridgade Palace, Chaos Monolith Hills, and such forces.

"Three days?" Athan muttered before nodding, "Alright. We'll go there."

After twenty minutes of walking, they entered a high-class store that screamed luxury. Even Athan was impressed with all types of outfits that the store displayed outside on mystical projections attached to the building.

Sarani's Mystic Fashion Shop. The store was a large building with ten floors, and it had projections of fabulous, beautiful, bad-ass, etc., types of outfits on a large screen for other people to see from the outside.

Both of them entered inside the large store that displayed outfits on clothes. All people here looked high-profile, and Athan easily sensed much Zen order grandmaster's aura and a few Evagon-realm aurae as well since none of them were suppressing it to hide them at all.

"You can custom-order your outfit here as well, and it will be ready in just a day," Koinshi said with a smile, "Sarani's Mystic Fashion is the best one entire Midgard continent, and it has its branches in all towns here."

A man wearing staff clothes saw new customers as he walked to Athan and koinshi before asking with a polite smile, "Do you prefer a custom order or want to pick one of our designs here?"

Other people also noticed, and some people at upper-floors also sensed Koinshi and Athan, mainly because of Koinshi, since he is a powerhouse at Mid-stage of Evagon-realm.

"Custom-order," Athan answered as he thought that he might as well get a custom-order since he is staying here for grand auction."

The staff man turned his gaze from Koinshi to Athan, and after that, he glanced at their feet, 'It seems like the young man is the main one while this powerhouse is some kind of guardian to him. Must be an heir of a powerful family.'

He then nodded and told Athan to follow him as they all the way to the 4th floor.

The 4th floor was filled with many tiny rooms that looked tiny from the outside but were bigger inside.

Athan and Koinshi entered through to door leading to room.no 46 and arrived in a seven-meter long and three-meter wide hall. There were many materials displayed on the walls, along with pieces of paper on the tables in the hall.

"You can choose the material for clothing you want and also the additional effect from these pieces of paper. As for design, you can draw it on that board," The staff man said.

He then politely smiled and said, "If you want the assistance of a designer to brainstorm a good design for your outfit, then we can arrange for that as well. But it will cost one hundred high-grade chaos stones per thirty minutes."

"No need," Athan said as he walked to the board and picked up the brush as he started drawing the outfit and filled its colors.

He didn't want to become too stylish as he just drew a simple robe reaching his knees with pants and a belt. He filled black and white color with metallic sheen on the black belt. He drew some simple squaric design patterns on the robe to not make it look bland, but that's all.

The staff man rubbed his chin and nodded, "Simple but cool-looking. Well, since you are not too keen on the style, then you won't need to spend much time on selecting the material as well, I guess."

Athan didn't bother looking at the materials and just said, "Just pick up a material that feels fluffy and comfortable internally. As for outside, make it look exactly like what I drew."

"Alright," The staff nodded before asking, "What about the enchanting effect? We even have effects that can match up to Evagon-realm's power level, but they are one-time and very expensive."

"Add an enchantment that can defend against high-grade Evagon-realm powerhouse's attack one time."

"Cough...high-grade?" The staff man was surprised a bit, "That will cost...two hundred thousand high-grade chaos stone. It can block the full-powered attack for five seconds at most, but if the incoming attack still hasn't been consumed by the power of the shield, It will break. However, the impact and effect of that attack will be significantly reduced by then for sure."

Hearing that, Athan and Koinshi raised their eyebrows.

"It's fine. Add it," Athan said after thinking for a moment, 'I'll just make copies of it with my voidpulse after understanding its structure.'

"Tell me the total cost and give me your contact number. After finding a place to stay here, I will give you the address, and you can deliver the outfit there," Athan said as he sat down on the couch.

"Right away!" The staff man excitedly went out of the room and came back after ten minutes. He told Athan about the material they had chosen for the outfit and the defensive enchantment effect with a fawning smile.

"The total cost will be two hundred and fifty-six thousand high-grade chaos stone," The staff concluded before giving Athan a contact card and told him to contact in that card and give their address so they can deliver the outfit there.

After paying for the high-grade chaos stones, Athan and Koinshi left the store.

"Shall we go find an Inn or hotel now?" Koinshi asked after leaving the shop.

"Let's go the silver wing's branch first as I want to deliver some voidling-zoids," Athan said. Since he was not consuming any voidpulse and abyssal darkness while comprehending, the Void Grotto had produced thirty thousand some voidling-zoids.

"I'll quickly ask about its location," Koinshi said as he left while Athan started walking on the large street.

Athan had the contact card to summon the delivery man of Silver Wing, but there was a rule that they must only use it when they were not in any town. If they are in any town, then they will have to visit the Silver Wing's brach for the delivery.. After all, they have access to literally every single piece of an area in the entire Midgard continent due to their signature technique, the Infinite Bridge Plexus.

Chapter 592 - Wine

Athan and Koinshi went to Silver Wing's branch after Koinshi found its location.

Athan had put those thirty-thousand-something voidling-zoids in storage and delivered it to Dean Lenix.

After putting the delivery, He contacted Dean Lenix and told him about it.

...

"Hahaha," Dean Lenix loudly laughed before he told his peers that were sitting in this floating pavilion, "A new batch of voidling-zoids has arrived, and it numbers more than thirty thousand."

After saying that, he stood up and said with a smile, "I will have to prepare for its sellings, so I will be going for a while once I get the delivery."

"So that silver wing delivery will come here? In that case, why don't you sell us some? We have heard about it but never used it," the Jade Star organization leader spoke.

"Yeah, let's see how powerful those things are. The selling of those things was so low that no trace of it can be seen nowadays."

Dean Lenix thought for a moment and nodded with a grin, "Alright, I'll sell each one of you a set for thirty thousand high-grade chaos stones. But if you want to buy more, then you will have to come to Void Pavilion in our Chaos Monolith Hills and line up."

Everyone was speechless, but thirty thousand high-grade chaos stones were not that much to them, so they agreed.

...

On the other hand, Athan and Koinshi found the best hotel to stay in since Athan didn't need to worry about money as he currently had more than 4 million high-grade chaos stones, and more will arrive because of those thirty thousand voidling-zoids.

Hotel Dream Paradise.

After booking the room, which costs five hundred high-grade chaos stones per day, Athan contacted the shop and told them the address to deliver the outfit here.

"Young master Athan, If we want to enter the VIP booth in the auction, then we will have to buy the ticket of it in advance," Koinshi said.

Athan nodded as he handed over a ring to Koinshi that he had prepared while he was storing voidling-zoids to another ring in his void region, "There are five hundred thousand high-grade chaos stones in it. Pay for all our expenses from it. And go buy the slot of VIP booth in the auction."

Koinshi took the ring and nodded before he left this exquisite giant room of the hotel.

After Koinshi left, Athan didn't stay but left the room as well as he started walking in the wide lobby towards the top floor.

The hotel was filled to brim with people, and he went to the top floor since there was a bar there and he wanted to drink some fine wines.

After a few minutes, He arrived at the bar and saw that many people were enjoying themselves as they ate and drank at the different tables while the beauties danced on the stage and musicians played music with their instruments.

Since Athan was alone, He went to the stool bar and said to the bartender, "Give me your best wine."

The bartender was a bit stunned, 'Best wine?' However, he saw that Athan simply turned around after saying that.

He observed Athan and thought, 'His clothes are strange but cool, and he is alone here. However, his aura is that of zen order elite, so I can't guess if he is rich enough to afford the best wine here.'

After thinking for a few moments, The bartender shook his head, 'Well, if he can't afford it in the end, then he will have to pay for it in one way or another. I'll just do my job and give him the best wine.'

Athan was looking at all the people as a strange feeling welled in him that he couldn't describe.

There were all kinds of people here with mixed body features, like different kinds of horns, tails, multiple limbs, unique body structure, etc.

He couldn't imagine that such a reality was true where there were multiple universes and even more unique worlds above that in his first life.

'I wonder how is Earth doing?' Athan suddenly had this thought, but he threw it away the next moment, 'I have no connection with that place anymore...'

"Here is our best wine. Enjoy. However, I must remind you that it cost five hundred high-grade chaos stones for one glass."

Hearing the words, Athan turned around on his stool and grabbed the glass before turning around once again, ignoring the bartender's words.

Seeing that, the bartender was a bit speechless, 'Well, seeing his reaction, I guess he can afford it.'

Athan drank a large sip every now and then as he allowed himself to get drunk and let the effect of the wine affect his brain.

After finishing one glass, Athan would order another one, and just like that, he continued to drink while observing the dance, people and listening to the music.

Meanwhile, Koinshi had encountered a little trouble because all one thousand VIP rooms were full. However, he wanted to acquire one for Athan, so he found information about some people who bought the VIP rooms and bought the room from one of them by paying one hundred thousand high-grade chaos stones.

"Phew, finally acquired one after ten hours," Koinshi sighed a relief. The normal price of the VIP room was ten thousand high-grade chaos stones. However, the VIP room indicated status, and Koinshi also tried to get the earliest number. In the end, he only managed to get room.no ten because the top ten refused, and they were all Evagon-realm powerhouse like him.

"However, young master Athan won't be angry that I spent one hundred thousand high-grade chaos stones for that, right?"

After thinking for a moment, Koinshi denied that since he knew that Athan was wealthy because of his voidling-zoids and one hundred thousand high-grade chaos stones for room no. Ten shouldn't be a waste.

He returned to the hotel with a token but failed to find Athan in the room.

"Eh, where did he go?" Koinshi thought. He took out the contact card of Athan, but after thinking for five whole minutes, he decided to contact Athan.

'Let's hope I am not disturbing young master Athan.'

Chapter 593 - Zangeer

Athan was drunk in the bar as he stood on the stool.

The bartender was quite nervous because Athan had already drunk fifty glasses of wine in ten hours, and that's 25,000 high-grade chaos stones.

'Holy crap, he can pay that much, right? Or is he lost in a drunken stupor, so he continuously orders wine glasses regardless of his capacity?'

Athan was reliving his memories of his uncle and aunt in his drunken state as they had raised him since he was a little kid.

When he went to Earth that day, he didn't even cry, or he did? Anyway, he felt that he didn't feel enough remorse because of his unstable mental state at that time.

He knew there was someone behind the devastating state of the Earth, but he didn't know who that person was, and he didn't feel that it was worth it to waste his time finding them. Naturally, he still doesn't want to waste his time finding it out because once he becomes powerful enough to have this entire chaosverse in his grasp, he will make sure to find the perpetrators.

Suddenly, Athan received contact and took a look at the card, 'Koinshi?'

He took out the card and told him that he was on the top floor of the hotel.

"I'll come down once im done," after saying that, Athan put the card away and turned to the bartender, "you got any other wine? even better than this?"

"Umm...this is the best one we have," the bartender replied with a weak smile.

"Fill this up then," Athan said plainly.

The bartender nodded as he took out the bottle and filled the glass.

"Yo, I heard what you said just now, hahaha. You want a better wine, right?"

Suddenly, a man who looked to be in his late twenties, human appearance but with two sharp, pitch-black horns and a tuxedo suit outfit, sat on the stool right next to Athan. This man had a mysterious pair of black and purple eyes with a strange symbol in them.

The bartender seemed to have recognized him and was surprised.

Athan turned to the man whose aura indicated that he was at the peak of Zen order grandmaster. However, Athan felt that this man was hiding something beneath that grandmaster's aura. However, he was not interested in that, so he didn't pry deeper.

"Give me the price," Athan said.

The man smiled widely and said, "If you can walk three steps after drinking one glass of it, I'll give it to you for free."

Hearing that, Athan's indifferent gaze left the man as he turned around and picked up the glass that the bartender filled up.

The man raised his eyebrows, 'Ignored?'

Athan took a large gulp before saying unhurriedly, "you don't get to decide my course of action. No one gets to decide that. If you want to sell that wine, then speak the price."

Hearing that, the man was speechless while the bartender wondered, 'It looks like this young man doesn't recognize

A group of five people, three women and two men, sitting at a table a bit far away, were looking at Athan and the man. One of the men there had a similar appearance as the man sitting beside Athan.

"Why did your big brother go there, Azkil? From the look of things, that person doesn't even recognize Zangeer." A beautiful lady wearing a dark emerald dress asked. She looked even more attractive as her skin also had a light emerald hue and had long light green eyelashes.

Azkil frowned and shook his head, "I don't know. Maybe my brother saw something in that guy? After all, he was born with the blessing of our Rudral Ancestor and got those mystical eyes. But It's leaving a bad taste in my mouth that the other person didn't appreciate my brother's goodwill."

Another man who had a buffy body with brown crystal skin spoke with a laugh, "Then go and teach him a lesson. He is just at zen order elite."

However, right after he finished speaking, everyone sitting at the table felt a chill. They saw Zangeer looking at them with a smile for a brief moment before looking back at Athan.

'Bunch of idiots,' Zangeer thought as he took out a bottle and an exquisite glass. He filled up the glass with his special wine and said, "Here you go, man. The best of the best wine."

Athan turned around as he looked at Zangeer and then at the glass filled up with black wine that looked a bit transparent and had white sparks that appeared and disappeared constantly.

As he picked up the glass to drink, Zangeer spoke in a low voice, "I have to warn you that only Evagon-realm powerhouses can handle the effect of that wine. So if you fail to handle it, you will probably faint for a few months."

Athan paused for a brief moment before he started taking large gulps of the wine and finished the glass in a few seconds.

"Best indeed," Athan muttered as he closed his eyes and drowned himself in the overwhelming effect of that wine.

Even his soul was affected, but Athan didn't let his abyssal darkness clear off the effect let it remain as his entire being drowned in this heaviness and unique pleasure.

A few desires were birthing in him at this moment as well.

On the other hand, Zangeer confirmed his speculation as he stood up with a faint smile on his face, 'It looks like that brief vision my eyes saw was not my imagination or something. He is indeed a monster in disguise. Well, I guess the heir of that mysterious powerhouse shouldn't be judged based on outer appearance.'

He then stood up and started walking towards the table as his smile turned into a cold expression. He looked at his brothers and others before saying, "Idiots. Don't go courting death randomly, or you won't even know how you died."

Zangeer knew about Athan because he had seen the mirage crystal that his father got. However, his brother didn't see that crystal, so he didn't know about it.

Only top echelons got those mirage crystals, and most of them just mocked the Ursh'in clan after that. Although they were indeed surprised by that powerful entity Void Emperor, they couldn't sense his power through the mirage crystal, and if he was that powerful, he couldn't stay longer in the lower-chaosverse and had returned in the end. The top echelons of organizations and families here had solid connections with the upper-chaosverse, so they were not that mindful of Athan.

Zangeer was surprised to see Athan here and approached him for a little test after finding that his eyes couldn't exactly work on Athan.

...

Fourteen more hours passed without Athan realizing it as he was still drowned in the effect of the wine.

But the delivery of his outfit arrived and Koinshi called Athan again.

Athan removed all effects of the wine before he paid the money to the bartender and left.

After arriving in the room, Koinshi handed him a rectangle glass box with fog in it, "Here is the outfit, young master Athan."

Athan nodded as he took the case, opened and took out his outfit before he started studying it.

Chapter 594 - First Item, Azure Dream.

Two days passed, and it was time to go to the auction, but Athan had yet to study the outfit completely.

"Young master Athan, it's time to go," Koinshi arrived and said before handing him a storage ring, "This storage ring contains 21 million high-grade chaos stones and a hundred thousand low-grade chaos stones."

Athan nodded as he put on his new outfit for the first time in two days, and ...it indeed felt comfortable.

"Not bad...," Athan muttered as it was actually more comfortable than his void robe. After all, his void robe was just a type of energy outfit with superpowers. But this outfit was meticulously created with comfortable materials and a crafting process for the comfort of the wearer.

Anyway, it was not like the effects and powers of his void robe would be disabled if he wore something over it.

Athan looked in the mirror and thought for a moment as he got an idea. He combined his void robe into this outfit by putting a faint veil of void robe's outline over it.

It looked ten times cooler now.

"Let's go," Athan said as he waved his hand over his face as his void mask also appeared before he started walking towards the door.

Koinshi followed behind Athan, and this time, he kept a half step behind Athan so that others could perceive that the one important is Athan, not the Evagon-realm powerhouse.

Both of them left the hotel and arrived at the grand auction that was who knows how big from inside even though it looked only fifty square meters from outside.

After all, just VIP booths were in thousands.

There were multiple entrances into this giant building, and each entrance had a mystical veil that indicated that it was a portal leading to a bigger space than what is shown from outside.

After entering the entrance, they arrived in a large corridor with tens of the staff members lined up, and all those who had VIP booth tickets went to them while other people who didn't have VIP tickets entered into another portal gate.

After Koinshi handed over the ticket to the staff lady, the lady led Athan to a corridor filled with doors and entered one of the portal doors.

From that there, they arrived in a floating pavilion, which was their VIP booth.

There were four couches, tables, and other things available in this open-air pavilion.

But most importantly, the scenery outside was truly awesome.

This whole area was entirely on a large land on thick white clouds. There was a giant stage in the middle, and five thousand pavilions were high above the cloud, lined in a circular pattern.

There were tens of thousands of seats surrounding the stage, and people were coming here through several portals that appeared in the sky.

The first five rows around the stage had couches, while the further rows had chairs. But all of them looked comfortable to sit on.

The lady that arrived here with Athan stood on the side and said with a polite smile, "I will be staying here to assist with all kinds of matters related to bidding. If you want to order some food or drink, you can tell me about it as well."

The lady looked beautiful and had a curvy body. She was a humanoid with light pink skin and two dark pink curvy horns and a tail.

The VIP booths had a special kind of runic ward, which made it absolutely private from prying eyes from outside.

They could see everything about the stage clearly from this booth, but a screen displayed only the stage set very closely inside the pavilion as well.

There was a slate in the middle of the table with a brush beside it. The lady explained that they could write their price on the slate, and it will be projected in a hologram manner in large size from the top of their pavilion, indicating that no.10 VIP booth had bid this price.

After half an hour, every single seat and VIP booths were filled up as the auctioneer arrived from the bottom of the stage. Two dreamy blue portals also appeared on the stage.

The auctioneer looked humanoid, but he had a dark green head and tentacles on his chin along with two light green antennas on his forehead.

"Welcome to the grand auction, everyone! My name is Geren, and I will be showing you exciting and valuable items today that will make you spin your head around. So without further ado, let's start with our first item."

From a blue portal, a jade case the size of an adult man's arm appeared.

Geren took the jade case and directly opened it. Right after he opened it, a large projection also appeared on top of the stage that magnified the jade case and its content.

"Everyone! Your eyes are not playing tricks! Our first item, the item you are seeing is indeed the pair of beautiful eyes from Azure Dream chaos beast!"

An uproar immediately as the first item turned out to be extremely precious.

Koinshi was surprised as well and turned to Athan, "Young master Athan, this pair of eyes from Azure Dream chaos beast is indeed extremely powerful. They are both a type of physical and soul eyes, and once you implant them in your eyes, you will receive the talent of those eyes, and since your soul will also be connected to those eyes, it will empower as well."

Koinshi's gaze went to the pair of eyes as he continued, "More importantly, there's a chance to acquire the soul physique, Azure Dream Soul physique as well."

After that, Koinshi's gaze turned grave as he said, "However the Azure dream chaos beast is a king-grade chaos beast, and the implant process is hard as the first thing you have to do to make them yours is by infusing your soul energy and soul sense into it. After you do that, The power of the eyes will suck your soul into the unique dreamscape of the eyes. In there, you will have to comprehend its power quickly before the power of those eyes kills your soul."

"But once successful, you will have almost 100% chance to reach Chaos king-realm as long as you do not die," The staff lady said with a smile after Koinshi finished speaking.

Chapter 595 - Koinshi's Answer. Entering HT Again.

"Two million high-grade chaos stones!"

"Bugger off! Three million high-grade chaos stone!"

"Three-point five million high-grade chaos stones!"

Numbers were projecting from the VIP booths along with their loud voices as the auctioneer stayed silent.

"Do you want to buy it, young master Athan?" Koinshi asked respectfully.

Athan was thoughtful. On the one hand, he didn't need such a thing for him or others with him because he believed that they could break through without external support. The power of this eye was pretty interesting. Still, the downside was that its power would remain the same even if the user eventually surpassed chaos king-realm unless someone could increase the power of those eyes with some means like mutating it with other eyes or other powers, etc.

There was also the risk factor related to this eye, so the price gradually slowed down after it hit 4 million chaos stones, which many considered was its real value.

Athan knew that the first item is usually a very attractive and valuable one, while the following items wouldn't be as impressive until they reached mid-way of the auction and then at the end of the auction.

Athan turned to the staff lady and asked, "Do you know about other items that are more valuable than those eyes?"

The lady smiled apologetically and said, "The information of such items is not disclosed, but I know information about other lower-valued items that are to be auctioned after this pair of eyes."

Athan shook his head as he didn't want to know about them.

'An Evagon-realm powerhouse calling him a young master? How strange. Even in top-class families here, all evagon-realm powerhouses are either family or clan heads and elders. They wouldn't call their head's son a young master since they are relatives as only servants would call them a young master. Hmmm...I don't think there's any family here with Evagon-realm servants,' The staff lady thought as she curiously looked at Athan and Koinshi, who had a servile attitude towards Athan.

"Four point four million high-grade chaos stones by VIP 645! Anyone else? Come on, it's your chance to break through and get a superpower to beat your enemies!"

The auctioneer saw another projection lighting up from pavilion no. 329 and smiled, "VIP 329 has increased the bid by two hundred thousand more! Good job. So? Anyone else? Four point six million one time! Four point six million two times! Fou-"

The auctioneer saw another projection with five million and smiled widely, "Five million by VIP 10!! Now, this is what I was talking about! Five million one time! Two times! And...Three times!"

"Congratulations, VIP 10!!"

Claps reverberated in the open-air in-the-sky auction venue.

The auctioneer closed the jade case with the eyes and put it into the blue portal.

On the other hand, A blue portal materialized in pavilion no. 10 as Athan saw the jade case coming out from it.

The staff lady was shocked that Athan bought it in the end by directly bidding 5 million.

Koinshi's eyes became hot as he looked at the jade case, but he didn't act out of order and stayed respectful.

Athan opened the jade case as he looked at the pair of dreamy and beautiful eyes that were too big for the human head. However, according to Koinshi, once one can make these eyes theirs, their size will be adjusted to the person who mastered Azure eyes and survived in its dreamscape.

Athan turned to Koinshi asked with a faint smile, "Do you want this pair of eyes?"

Koinshi was stunned to hear that.

"However, if you decided to accept these eyes, then I will not give you my blessing," Athan continued.

Koinshi suddenly calmed down and smiled before he shook his head, "I don't want the eyes."

Looking at this exchange of talk, the staff lady was dumbfounded, 'Why would he want a blessing of a zen order elite over these powerful eyes? What the hell?'

Athan put the jade case inside his void region and looked back at the auction.

The following items were not of much value, and Athan was not interested in them.

Three hours passed with only boring items as Athan shook his head and turned to the staff lady, "Bring your best wine and food."

After saying that, Athan waved his hand as he gave her a storage pouch containing thousand high-grade chaos stones as a tip as well.

The staff lady happily opened the door and disappeared to bring some food and drinks.

...

On the other hand, Tiana and others arrived at Heaven's Tranquility, and since it was Drizzly's first time here, she was shocked and awed after entering the barrier and seeing a large vortex that reached all the way to the sky.

The Nimpere brothers were here for the first time as well, so they were also shell-shocked.

"You are saying that one can go to the upper-chaosverse through that? But it looks so dangerous," Drizzly said as she looked at the vortex.

"Yep, that's why only those who have broken through to Evagon-realm can go to upper-chaosverse through that path," Lady Fu said with a smile.

Afterward, everyone walked through the starry stairs and reached the three mystical palaces that were situated beside each other and connected.

After entering the palace, Tiana chose the best package for everyone. Lady Fu didn't need to pay since she was a member here, while Zorgia and Jourgan paid their own cost.

Drizzly, Tiana, Avelia, Sen, Shiromi, Linci, Tealery, Arcued, Theo, and four Nimpere brothers: Thirteen people. So Tiana paid 1.3 million high-grade chaos stones from the 3 million that Athan gave her.

A staff lady arrived shortly after as she led them to their first destination to relax and refresh.

Naturally, many men's eyes gleamed since this group of people contained beautiful ladies. Still, none of them dared to look more than one second after sensing the terrifying aura of Lady Fu and Zorgia.

Many people were shocked that Lady Fu broke through to the High-stage of Evagon-realm as well and felt that the game became interesting as they knew about her past.

Chapter 596 - Zangeer's Shock.

Half a day passed before the auctioneer brought out an interesting item again.

It was an egg of a legendary chaotic spirit.

However, Athan was not interested in that, so he passed up on this. Chaotic spirits can act as chaos beasts to aid in the fight, but their main use was their second ability to transform into armament form for their master and boost their soul power.

As the chaotic spirit always has the same realm as their master, the boost one can get from their chaotic spirit is powerful as their soul power becomes almost twice as powerful, so it's crucial in combat.

But Athan's chaotic spirit was already unique and possibly surpassed legendary grade because it was mutated by Primo's aura. This means that in the future, Athan's chaotic spirit can become even more powerful.

One more day passed as the auction neared its end, but Athan didn't like any of the so-called powerful items.

Now it was time for the last item as a large cauldron appeared from the blue portal.

The cauldron was two meters in height, and its body was dark bronze with golden patterns and four legs.

Seeing it, Aren became uninterested again since he had nothing to do with the cauldron.

The cauldron was sold for five point four million high-grade chaos stone. It supposedly became the best cauldron in the entire Midgard continent since it naturally made cauldron in a special-grade CPD and had the power to grow itself as its master continued to use it. Naturally, its master also needs to progress to make it stronger.

"Let's go," Athan spoke plainly as he stood up and left the floating pavilion from its portal doors.

They arrived back in the large building in Zinger Town and started walking towards the exit.

"Where are we going now, young master Athan?" Koinshi asked as all of their business in this town ended and felt that Athan would resume completing his unfinished business that he didn't have a clue about.

Athan didn't say anything as he just continued to walk and exited the building. Koinshi didn't ask a second time as he just respectfully followed Athan.

Athan continued to walk in the street in a daze as if he was thinking about something.

While walking, his gaze landed on a bar and entered there as he ordered some wine and drank it for two hours before leaving the bar saying to Koinshi, "Our next destination is the territory of Gardues clan."

"Gardues clan?" Koinshi was surprised but nodded, he knew about the Gardues clan, but they were not as powerful as their Ursh'in clan. There was also a rumor that the Gardues clan here was not that valued by the main clan in upper-chaosverse.

"Athan?"

Athan and Koinshi paused as they turned around and saw Zangeer smiling at them.

Athan narrowed his eyes and spoke, "I don't remember telling you my name."

"Eh, but I know from a certain mirage crystal," Zangeer said before he approached them, "I saw you in the auction hall as well, but since you wore a mask at that time and you had this new outfit, I didn't recognize you."

"What do you want?" Athan asked plainly.

"Hahaha, nothing. I am just bored, so I don't know if I can accompany you? Of course, only if you don't mind," Zangeer spoke with a loud laugh.

On the other, Koinshi was startled, 'Zangeer Viombra. Why does he want to accompany young master Athan?'

Koinshi knew that the Viombra family was one of the most powerful families here...even more powerful than their Ursh'in clan, and Zangeer was the gem of that family valued by both the family here and in the upper-chaosverse. The moment he breakthrough to Evagon-realm, he will be called to upper-chaosverse.

"You want to accompany me? Are you sure?" Athan spoke with a curved lip, forming a small smile.

Zangeer didn't hesitate and laughed while nodding, "I am sure."

"Suit yourself," Athan said as he turned around and started walking.

Zangeer started walking beside Athan and asked with a wry smile, "Can't you at least tell me where are you going?"

"Nope," Athan said.

Zangeer was speechless, but he then shook his head with a grin, "Alright, no problem. Since I said that I would come, then I will. This Zangeer doesn't fear anything," pausing, he coughed and continued, "At least nothing in this Midgard continent."

The three of them left the Zinger town before Koinshi took out the flying ship.

But seeing it, Zangeer took out his own flying ship that was bigger and faster, "Let's go in this one. It's better and faster so you can reach to your destination early."

Athan had no problem, and the faster he finished his work, the better. So he and Koinshi entered Zangeer's ship.

Zangeer sat across Athan on the couch inside the ship's central hall and asked, "Well, now can you tell me where we are going?"

Athan picked up the wine cup and took a sip before saying, "We are going to the Gardeus clan's territory to meet them."

Zangeer raised his eyebrows, and his eyes flickered with shock because he knew some insider information about them. Some people have killed their clan leader and Munvald as well, so the current Gardues clan was hiding in their shell. The head of Great Bridgade Palace had created a protective formation around their giant floating residence while they continuously trained through the CPD portals they had in their giant palace residence.

"Do you know what happened to them? Anyway, I might as well tell you that their clan leader was killed and Munvald as well. So, now they have closed themselves and will not let anyone enter inside. If you going there for some business, then you can turn back now."

Athan smiled as he took another sip from the wine glass and said, "I was the one who killed Munvald and his father. Now, I am going to settle them as well. Well, that was my plan before I arrived at Zinger town, but...my mind has changed now as I have some different plans for them."

*tink....*

Zangeer dropped the wine glass in shock, which didn't break but produced a tink sound and snapped him out of his thought.

"What the....are you serious?"

Chapter 597 - Going To Gardeus Clan.

Zangeer was shocked, but Athan didn't comment further and just closed his eyes while taking some sips from the wine glass.

After some time, he asked, "How many days until we reach our destination?"

"Probably three days with my ship if we don't encounter any atmospheric trouble on the way," Zangeer answered after thinking about it for a moment.

...

Three days passed, and they also didn't encounter any trouble on the way as they arrived at the territory of the Gardeus clan.

The three of them left the ship and flew towards the barrier after Zangeer put this ship away.

"How are you going to break this barrier? Head Zangrel from Great Bridgade Palace sets up this formation barrier, so it should be quite powerful," Zangeer asked with doubt as he looked at Athan.

Athan didn't answer and just walked forward as he arrived close to the barrier and covered his hand in abyssal darkness before creating a giant hole in it so they could go inside.

After the three of them went inside, Athan took back the abyssal darkness around the border of the hole he created, so the gap started to repair itself and become complete after a few seconds.

Zangeer was shocked and asked, "What was that black power? It looked similar to what I saw in that mirage crystal...don't tell me both have the same level of power?"

Koinshi snorted and said, "Zangeer, don't you think that you are asking a bit too much?"

Zangeer realized that no one would tell their secret, but he just got too curious about it and couldn't help but ask.

Athan's gaze was on the large palace as three of them were flying towards it when suddenly, powerhouses at Zen order grandmaster and an Evagon-realm powerhouse at early-stage left the palace with a grave expression.

They saw the trio as the youngest brother, and the current second head of the Gardues family, Luzard, shouted towards Athan, Zangeer, and Koinshi, "What do you want? Why are you here?"

Koinshi and Zangeer stopped, but Athan continued flying towards them as a smile formed on his face and said, "Relax. I am here with the news of the one who killed Ruzald and Munvald."

Koinshi hurriedly followed Athan seeing that Athan continued. Zangeer also moved after thinking for a moment, 'Anyway, they won't attack me seeing my identity, and even if they do, I have the means to save myself.'

Hearing Athan's words, Luzard was stunned before he asked gravely, "Who are you, and how do you know about the perpetrator?"

Athan had activated his void mask's power and converged all of his aurae, so Luzard didn't know Athan's strength, and even if he tried to pry in Athan, which he didn't yet, he wouldn't be able to check Athan's strength due to void robe as well.

Zangeer also noticed this and was curious, 'What is he planning to do?'

"Why don't we go inside and talk? Surely we three won't do anything to you, and you can just keep a close eye on us and attack if we do something strange," Athan said.

"Zangeer...what is your purpose here?" Luzard looked at Koinshi with some caution before turning to Zangeer and asking with a frown.

Zangeer shrugged and said, "I am just accompanying this guy here, so I am not here to do anything particularly."

Luzard turned to Athan and nodded, "Alright, let's go inside. I want information on the perpetrators who killed my brother and nephew. We are willing to pay for that price as well."

...

After a few minutes, everyone could be seen sitting in the hall. The current head of the Gardues family, Juzald, sat on the main chair while Luzard sat on another chair beside it. Athan, Koinshi, and Zangeer sat on the couches in front of them.

Juzald was meditating, but his brother called him, saying that some people arrived with crucial information.

He had a solemn expression on his face as he asked, "Can you tell us about the perpetrators? You don't have to worry about the price."

"Sure, sure," Athan nodded with a smile as he picked up the teacup and took a sip.

After that, he looked at Juzald and said, "The perpetrators are none other than," Pausing there, he looked at Zangeer, "That Zangeer over there and his family."

"What the fuck?" Zangeer was stunned before he hurriedly looked at Juzald and Ruzald, "Don't listen to his nonsense. We didn't do anything. Do you think I would have arrived here if that was the case?"

Juzald and Luzard were also stunned, but they didn't act instantly because they had their doubts as well. After all, the Rudral family wouldn't set their sight on the puny Gardues clan.

They wouldn't dare to act directly as well because they were sure that Zangeer must possess life-saving means and could get out from here. Moreover, If the Rudral family indeed did it, then they wouldn't have been alive until now.

Athan turned to Zangeer and asked with a grin, "Then who killed Ruzald and Munvald?"

Zangeer was speechless, "What the hell are you thinking?"

"Hahaha, it's fine. You can tell them the truth. After all, that's why I am here," Athan laughed and spoke as he looked at Zangeer before he narrowed his eyes as a grin formed on his face, "Surely you aren't worried about me?"

Zangeer wryly smiled as he didn't know what is Athan thinking, but he still turned to Juzald and said with a cough, "ahem, so according to what I know, the one who killed Munvald and Ruzald is this guy."

He pointed at Athan after saying that, who had a carefree expression on his face, but his eyes had a bit of excitement. He smiled while looking at Juzald and Luzard before saying, "Yep. That was me."

Both Juzald and Luzard were dumbfounded, and they still had doubts because why would the killer himself come here and confess unless...he was here to finish them off after all this time?

*Shuaaaa...*

Both brothers stood up as they activated their evagon-domain, blasting the palace in the process and creating defense around them.

Other people in the palace were alarmed, but most people were inside CPD, so they didn't notice anything.

Chapter 598 - What The Hell Are You Thinking?

"Sit down!" In a low but deep voice, Athan spoke, "If I wanted to kill you, I would have done that long ago."

"Oh, and head Zangrel also didn't inform about anything that happened here to the main clan in upper-chaosverse," Athan said.

"What!!"

This sentence visibly shook Juzald and Luzard.

'Is he telling the truth? What the hell is going on?'

' I don't know. Head Zangrel indeed told us that he would inform the main clan about it and instructed us to stay inside and bid our time.'

Juzald and Luzard talked to each other with their soul sense while cautiously looking at Athan and Koinshi.

Athan saw that they were still cautious and had their defenses activated, so he decided to finish the matter early, "well, I was here to inform you about the truth. The reason head Zangrel didn't inform anything to upper-chaosverse is because I threatened him not to do it."

Hearing that, Zangeer was shocked while Luzard and Juzald gulped in nervousness. They wanted to take revenge, but they knew that they were still weak. Someone who can threaten head Zangren and keep him from doing something is definitely not someone they can mess with right now.

With a somewhat bored expression, Athan spoke, "At first, I was planning to kill you all and rob your clan, but I decided to have a change of plans just a week days ago."

"W-what are you planning to do with us?" Luzard spoke with a slight tremble.

Athan grinned and said, "Nothing, you are now free of worries about being killed, and you can also inform your main clan in upper-chaosverse about me. Anyway, It's destined that I will have tons of enemies in the upper-chaosverse."

Zangeer listened and became extremely speechless.

Luzard and Juzald looked at each other with suspicion and doubt before they looked at Athan.

Juzald had a gnawing question in his mind, which he asked solemnly, "Can you tell us why did you kill Munvald and Ruzald?"

Athan's eyes turned cold as he spoke icily, "Because that Munvald set his eyes on someone he shouldn't have. So, I killed him, and his father was out for revenge, so I also ended his suffering. If you two want to avenge your brother and nephew, then you can attack me right now."

"N-no..." Luzard shook his head repeatedly.

They were still not strong enough to see through Athan, so they would be only courting death if they attack him right now, is what they felt.

"Let's go. We are done here," Athan said as he turned around and started walking out of the palace.

Luzard and Juzald watched their backs but didn't attack. They didn't have the guts to attack.

...

Inside Zangeer's ship, Athan first informed everything he did and said here to head Zangrel and Dean Lenix.

So if by chance some people from the main Gardues clan arrive here, which actually had a very low chance of happening according to head Zangrel, but if they arrived and asked Head Zangrel, he can say that Athan threatened him to set up this plan by planting a chaos curse in him.

Head Zangrel--, "alright, I understand. However, why the sudden change of plan? You could just finish them and be done with the matter."

Athan--, "nah. I needed a target after going to upper-chaosverse to start my plan, so I decided to make the main Gardues clan that target. I will tell you about it when the time comes."

Head Zangrel--, "fine. Anyway, if you want any aid or information, then inform me."

Athan--, "sure."

...

After seeing Athan putting the card away, Zangeer asked curiously, "what is your plan?"

Athan glanced at him and didn't answer, but instead, he asked, "what type of connection do you have in upper-chaosverse?"

Zangeer grinned and said, "my father is chaos king-realm powerhouse, my grandfather is chaos lord-realm powerhouse, and my great-grandfather is a chaos saint-realm powerhouse."

Athan was a bit speechless and asked, "what about mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother? Are they air?"

"Eh...," Zangeer was dumbfounded and then wryly smiled while shaking his head, "My great-grandmother is no more, but my father and grandfather have multiple wives, and their strength varies from evagon-realm to chaos king-realm. My mother is an evagon-realm powerhouse and is the current head of family here."

After saying that, He looked at Athan and said with a grin, "I said this much, so now it's your turn. Tell me about your family."

"No," Athan refused and asked, "Are you planning to come to Heaven's Tranquility? Because I am going there."

Zangeer was once again speechless at the refusal of Athan, but he didn't press on it and muttered, "Heaven's tranquility...," he nodded and said, "sure. It's been a while since I last went there. Hahaha, let's have some fun."

"Alright," Athan said before he closed his eyes with a wine glass in his hand, "Also, don't ask me anything until we reach Heaven's tranquility."

"Boring...," Zangeer muttered as he also picked up the glass of wine and drank some before he thought about something and took out a contact card.

...

After five days on the speedy ship of Zangeer, they arrived at Heaven's Tranquility.

After leaving the ship, Athan informed Lady Fu that he had arrived here and told her not to tell Tiana, Avelia, Sen, and others about his arrival yet.

"Yo Zangeer, you finally arrived."

Three women and two men approached Zangeer as he, Athan, and Koinshi left the ship and walked towards the entrance.

Athan looked at Zangeer because from their tone; it seems that Zangeer invited them here, and they were waiting for him.

The five people who approached Zangeer also threw curious glances at Athan since currently, Athan had his mask on with his outfit covered by outlines of the void robe.

Feeling Athan's gaze, Zangeer turned to him with a grin and said, "Since we were going to Heaven's Tranquility, I decided to call my friends as well."

Athan nodded and didn't say anything as he started walking towards the entrance.

Chapter 599 - Athan's Plan.

"That new friend of yours is quite strange, not even staying for a greeting exchange," Tonlis, one of the three girls in the spoke.

A man looking in his late twenties looked at Athan's back while saying, "Who is he, Zangeer? I have never seen him in high-level parties where all top clans and families gather. But then again, his face was covered, so I don't know. But if he was from a top clan or family, he should know us."

Zangeer looked at all of them with a grin on his face and said, "If you see his face, you will get a huge shock."

"Why?"

The five people got curious.

"Secret. Well, if he removes his mask, then you will know," Zangeer said with a beam, "Now let's go."

...

After entering inside, Athan paid two hundred thousand high-grade chaos stones for the top-rated package for him and Koinshi.

Zangeer and others also paid one hundred thousand high-grade chaos stones each.

"You can go your own way from now on since I am going to meet up with my companions," Athan said plainly before he took out a contact card of Lady Fu and started talking.

"No way! The only reason why I am here is that you wanted to come here. Don't worry, We will be in different places in each facility but will move together," Zangeer said with a cheeky smile on his face, "The bar here is top class in the entire Midgard continent."

...

At this time, Drizzly, Tiana, Avelia, Sen, Linci, Shiromi, Telaery, Arcued, Theo, and four Nimpere brothers were inside a water world with different types of large water pools. Some were dark blue waters, some crimson red, some light green, some black.

These pools were very large as each pool was approx two square kilometers big and had many different fun facilities deep within each pool.

Deep within each pool was a new space filled with various water rides, water pipes with different games, and such.

Naturally, each of those water pools had beneficial effects on one's body and soul.

At this time, Tiana, Avelia, Sen, Drizzly, Linci, Shiromi, and Tealery were in the silver-black pool that had a beauty effect on skin and hair. All of them were deep within that pool, sitting on chairs while observing colorful fishes swimming around them. Naturally, their clothes had changed from their usual attire to bikinis.

"I am going for one more hyper ride; who is coming?" Sen spoke with a grin as she stood up and asked.

"Me, I want to change to a different pool after that ride as well," Tealery said.

"I am also coming; let's go," Drizzly and Linci also stood up.

"Have fun," Tiana said with a smile as she, Avelia, and Shiromi decided to stay.

There were two other ladies on their left side sitting in chairs on the ground, and there was a silver-black waterfall on their right side. Naturally, all of this was underwater. The waterfall was coming out from an oval hole from the light brown earth wall.

Avelia stood up and decided to have some refinement under the waterfall as it was basically an enhanced version of this silver-black pool.

They had already done that before, but Avelia decided to do it a second time since she felt comfortable under that.

Avelia went inside the thick waterfall before sitting down crossed-legged.

'Alright, I'll pick Avelia first,' Athan thought as he moved behind the waterfall. After learning their location from Lady Fu, he has been here for some time now and waiting for one of them to separate as he decided to have enjoyment with Tiana, Avelia, and Sen, one by one.

Right after entering this world of different water pools, he activated his void robe and mask's power and used the order technique to make him invisible to the naked eye the entire time.

So nobody noticed when he entered this silver-black water pool.

Looking at Avelia's bare back with a string of her two-piece bikini, Athan slowly moved forward and bent down before whispering in her ears and quickly blocking her mouth with his hand so she didn't let out any sound startlingly.

"It's me, darling."

Avelia was surprised as she turned around and saw Athan before whispering, "Why are you being secretive?"

Athan smiled and first kissed her on her lips before saying, "I am going to spend time with the three of you one by one. Let's go."

Avelia smiled happily as she locked her arms around Athan's neck and climbed on him. Her two-piece bikini was aqua blue, which revealed her white skin, long legs, and sexy cleavage. After climbing onto Athan by locking her hands around his neck, she pressed her chest forward as her lips met Athan's.

Athan also grabbed her back before both of them kissed for a while.

"Let's go," Avelia whispered as she also activated order technique that made her invisible. But since her aura still could be sensed if someone tried, Athan used his void robe and void mask's power on her as well since both of them were physically sticking to each other.

They got out of the silver-black pool without anyone noticing before they started flying in the sky.

Avelia was looking at Athan as her love for him poured out, "Athan...I love you. I think my memories actually returned, at least most of the part where I spent time with you."

"Oh? That's good." Athan was surprised before he smiled, and he got his face closer to Tiana's and rubbed his nose before kissing her.

"Athan, hug me tightly," Avelia spoke as she closed her eyes and hugged Athan's tightly.

Athan smiled gently as he also tightly hugged her; Athan summoned his cloud of chaos as both of them laid down on it and just stayed in a tightly hugging position, soaking in each other's embrace.

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be alive, Athan," Avelia muttered as she remembered her days of fear when Munvald was following her.

"Everything is fine now," Athan said as he caressed her back.

"Oops, I mistakenly opened the strings of your bikini," Athan said with a grin.

"You naughty boy, It looks like I have to punish you."

Chapter 600 - Dreamy Night Deep Blue

Athan and Avelia were lying on the cloud of chaos beside each other as the cloud flew in the sky.

Some people noticed and tried to use their soul sense, but they met an unsurmountable resistance and obediently gave up before minding their own business.

Avelia was sleeping while hugging Athan with her head on Athan's chest.

"Mom, this is Athan...," Avelia muttered as she seemed to be having a dream. She had a lovely smile on her face.

Athan just let her sleep and didn't wake her up. They both had a passionate battle for two hours, and it was intense, so she was tired.

Athan's white fluid seemed to contain powerful energy, and it was nourishing Avelia's whole body, mind, and even soul. The effects were potent, which required full function of her body and soul, so she was tired after the battle.

Athan put his hand on her forehead before he checked the progress of transcendence, "Four more years...Hmmm, after these two months of rest, they would feel an increase in their comprehension and training speed."

He then took out the contact card of Lady Fu and asked, "Where is the best place to sleep in this place? It should be most comfortable, relaxing, and peaceful."

Lady Fu--, "meet me outside of the portal gates of water pools world."

Athan--, "alright."

Athan controlled the cloud of chaos as it made U-turn and went towards the giant exit gates of this water pools world.

He used some voidpulse to cover Avelia in clothes and created a barrier of soul energy and abyssal darkness around her so that no external factors could disturb her.

After arriving at the exit gates, he carried Avelia in princess-carry style before the cloud of chaos disappeared from under his feet as he exited through the gates.

Lady Fu was waiting there within her own emerald two-piece bikini with ruby patterns while crossing her arms.

"Let's go," Athan said to Lady Fu before he looked at Avelia gently.

Lady Fu looked at Athan for a moment before she nodded with a wry smile, "Follow me," internally, she thought, 'No reaction, huh? I am not less beautiful than his women.'

Lady Fu was indeed beautiful. She had that big sister vibe while her looks put her in the early thirties age, according to Earth standards.

After walking for ten minutes, Athan's gaze went past the bubbly butt of Lady Fu, but he didn't have any thoughts about it. In his mind, he was thinking of picking Sen next and going to another facility.

"Oh yeah, where are we going?" Athan asked.

Lady Fu spoke without looking back, "We are going to Dreamy Night of Deep Blue facility. It's a world filled with starry skies, and the pavilions there are the best with the most comfortable sleeping beds and exotic flowers that have effects of calming and enhancing mind and soul if one hasn't been enhanced by them already.

"Naturally, it's a special place, so only those who have bought a luxury package of one hundred thousand high-grade chaos stones can access it, but still there will be additional fees of five thousand high-grade chaos stones per day for staying there."

"Oh?" Athan was surprised at the expense since they had already paid 100,000 high-grade chaos stones per day, "then I guess those effects of flowers will be truly good."

Lady Fu nodded, "The whole world is filled with Evagon-grade plants and flowers, and they need constant nourishment as well. The atmosphere will make your whole body exude comfort and relaxation by entering there. On top of that, you can order food and drink from the menu in the pavilion free of cost."

"Naturally, it would be free of cost," Athan laughed and said.

After another five minutes of walking, they arrived at the gates leading to Dreamy Night of Deep Blue.

They entered through the gates before Athan was truly impressed just by the beauty of this night world which was not completely dark because of the colorful flowers. Additionally, the starry skies showered everyone with a gentle blue light.

Athan removed the abyssal darkness barrier from around Avelia and found an instant reaction from her body as she snuggled in comfort.

The staff guide arrived with them after they entered here and led them to the unoccupied pavilion.

On the other hand, Lady Fu left as she returned to water pools world.

Athan entered the pavilion, which had a transparent roof with some kind of barrier that let the blue light from the starry sky enter inside the pavilion. There were flowers inside the pavilions with magical properties that enhanced the mind and soul that Lady Fu talked about.

After putting Avelia on the bed as she slept comfortably, Athan left the pavilion before locking it.

"Sir, this is the key card of this pavilion. There is also one key card inside for the madam," The staff man spoke as he handed a key card with a no. A97 to Athan.

Athan took the keyboard and nodded before he remembered something as his face turned cold.

He rapidly flew around the pavilion and created a border around it of a five-meter radius with the pavilion as the center.

The border was burning black as he had used abyssal darkness. He wanted to create a barrier, but it would block the effects of the facility, so he didn't do that.

Afterward, he created ten tiny voidling birds as they perched on top of the pavilion covering all 360-degree views surrounding the pavilion. He then consumed to voidpulse and created a wooden notice board.

[ Do not cross the border. ]

After doing that, he turned to the staff man and spoke in a cold voice, "You see that border? It can be easily passed if someone flew over it, but make sure that nobody does that."

The staff man smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry. Nobody dares to make ruckus here, and without a key card, even Evagon-realm powerhouse can't break into that pavilion that is enchanted with powerhouse defense and has emergency defensive formation."

"Oh really?" Athan smiled coldly and said, "Do you remember those two sons of a peak Evagon-realm powerhouse? They peeked on other women and even forced themselves on them sometimes. I wonder how they got access to the facilities?"

Hearing that, the staff man gulped and sweated a bit as he said weakly, "T-that case won't happen again. Those two are already dead as someone killed them mysteriously."

Athan looked at the staff man as his expression turned deadpan, while his icy voice rung in the staff man's head as if it came straight from hell, "If...If anyone dared to enter that pavilion, then no one from Heaven's Tranquility will live. I will turn the entire Heaven's Tranquility into a wasteland. Do you understand? Tell that to your boss as well. But make sure that no one enters there."

"I-I understand, sir," the staff man repeatedly nodded as his goosebumps rose, and he felt unknown fear.

"Good," Athan patted the man's shoulder before he flew away and left the Dreamy Night Deep Blue.

The staff man took some deep breath before he came to his senses and looked at the pavilion before turning around, "Who the heck was that person?"

When he reminded himself of the threat, he couldn't help but ridicule Athan a bit, "turn Heaven's Tranquility into a wasteland?" the man shook his head as he continued softly, "There's a saying that one can antagonize any organization here but Heaven's Tranquility."

"Anyway, that person indeed seemed serious and scary both. Should I inform an executive manager about it?" The man wondered. He obviously can't contact the boss but can only reach out to the executive managers with his position.

After thinking for a moment, He decided to tell this information to the executive head as he took out the contact card and relayed everything to him that Athan spoke here.

The executive on the call said, "Did that person wear a mask, a strange robe, and his hair was light grey?"

The staff man was surprised and said, "Yep, that description matches his appearance. But he didn't wear any mask."

"Meet at upper left-wing."

"Right away," the staff man said before he put the card away and wondered, "What is it about?"

However, he indeed left and arrived at the upper left wing, which was the area for the staff.

He arrived in a hall but was surprised to see the boss sitting in the central chair.

He hurriedly bowed and greeted him.

Afterward, the person standing beside the boss showed an image to the staff man and asked, "did that person look like this?"

Looking at the image, the staff man hurridly nodded, "That's him! He looks exactly like that."

Hearing that, the boss had a gleam in his eyes as he smiled. He looked to be in his late twenties, a relatively young appearance.

"Tell Melker that I have found the person who killed his sons."

At this time, A beautiful lady with an indifferent expression arrived and said, "Kronel, I would like to advise you against doing that. Since you have seen that mirage crystal, you should know that Athan has quite a phenomenal backing."

Kronel, the boss of this Heaven's Tranquility grinned and said, "It's indeed because of that that I want to pit him against Melker. Anyway, my father is a saint-realm powerhouse as well and from what we inferred from the crystal, that void emperor is deducted to be saint-realm as well. Even if he is one realm higher than saint-realm, it doesn't matter."

Elk shook her head and left while wondering, 'Melker was told to forget about this matter after that prophesy done by Mr.Horeinsen.. However, I don't know if he will still remain silent after learning of his sons' killer.'

Chapter 601 - Kill Athan?

Melker was sitting in his palace with his eyes closed. He just got the news from Kronel about his sons' killer and was thinking about what to do.

He had considerable trust me Mr.Horeinsen, so he knew that a certain level of risk was involved in this matter.

"Judas!"

Melker spoke, and right after that, a man in his forties appeared with a simple white gown.

He arrived in front of Melker and bowed, "master Melker."

"Give me your opinion," Melker said in a plain voice.

Judas fell into thought for a few moments before he said respectfully, "master Melker, our little business in upper-Chaosverse is protected and supported by Kronel and his clan. So..., judging by his nature, he wants to test Athan using us. We also have to take some kind of action now that we know the identity of the killer."

"Mhmm," Melker nodded and fell into thought for a minute before he finally spoke, "hire dark daggers for assassination. They will do the work in Heaven's Tranquility."

Hearing that, Judas was stunned, "Inside Heaven's Tranquility?"

"Naturally," Melker spoke with cold eyes, "since Kronel wants me to test Athan, he will also allow assassination to happen in his place. I'll talk to him regarding that. Tell the dark daggers to come in as normal customers; I'll pay for all costs."

...

Two hours later, Athan and Sen were enjoying themselves in the Amberil Hot springs with geysers. This facility had ten layers of hot springs that also act as geysers.

There were many spots of hot springs geysers. Athan was sitting while leaning his back against the wall in one of the hot spring spots while Sen was sitting on his lap.

Sen's hands were busy massaging Athan's dragon while Athan's hands were massaging the soft and juicy melons of Sen.

Suddenly, countless bubbles appeared in the hot spring before it shot up like a geyser.

"hahaha, it's fun," Sen laughed as she and Athan both flew up on a hot spring geyser and passed through a membrane as they appeared in another hot spring with different relaxing effects on the body.

The scenery also changed as they appeared in a hot spring surrounded by small greenery and cute mortal animals like deer, bunnies, pandas, etc.

Sen and Athan enjoyed as they passed eight more layers while flying up on geyser and enjoyed different hot springs before finally having a passionate battle at the topmost layer of the hot spring.

Sen was tired after the intense battle as her body and soul were nourished by Athan's yang energy.

He used some voidpulse to create her clothes and carried her to the Dreamy Night Deep Blue.

When he arrived at his pavilion, he saw six people standing out of the border, 'What are they doing there?'

They were none other than Zangeer and his friends.

Zangeer turned around as he sensed someone flying towards them and saw Athan, "yo, Athan. Look at this pavilion, hahaha. It's interesting. I wonder what the person who did this would do if someone passed through the border?"

The other five people with Zangeer also turned around and saw Athan. All of them were surprised to see a woman in his arms.

"Who is that, Athan?" Zangeer asked with curiosity in his voice

Athan was a bit speechless, but he shook his head and passed by them before entering the pavilion.

Seeing that, the other six people were dumbfounded.

Athan put Sen in bed before he came out of the pavilion. He looked at Zangeer and said with a small smile, "I am the owner of this pavilion, and I created this border."

Hearing that, Zangeer and others were not much surprised since they guessed as much when Athan entered the pavilion.

Zangeer raised his eyebrows and asked, "So...what will you do if someone crosses the border?"

"Death," Athan spoke plainly in an indifferent voice.

Zakus, one of the Zangeer's friends, who looked to be in his late twenties, spoke with a snort, "fights are not allowed here unless you want to offend Heaven's Tranquility, and here you are, talking about killing," Zakus turned to Zangeer and said while shaking his head, "this friend of your is really talking big despite being a Zen order elite."

Suddenly, everyone looked on the left side and saw someone flying towards them. The presence they felt was a powerful one, very powerful.

"Peak evagon-realm?" Zangeer muttered as his eyes glowed slightly.

After a few seconds, they could clearly see the person.

"Mrs. Elk. What brings here?" Feigan, another friend of Zangeer, spoke with a smile.

Elk had her usual indifferent expression. She nodded towards Zangeer's group before turning to Athan, "Athan, we need to talk privately."

Hearing that, Zangeer and his friends were surprised.

Athan sensed some urgency in her voice, so he nodded and turned back as he entered inside the pavilion while Elk followed him inside.

Zangeer and the other five looked at each other.

"Should we go inside as well?" Feigan said, "since he is your friend, he wouldn't mind it, right?"

Sahara, the girl who knew about Athan, said with a snort, "idiot, Mrs. Elk said she wanted to talk privately with Athan. Anyway, what do we do now, Zangeer?"

Zangeer had a smile on his face as he felt that something interesting might happen, "let's wait for them to come out."

...

Inside the pavilion, Athan and Elk sat at a table.

"what do you want to talk about?" Athan asked as he took a sip from the teacup.

Elk glanced at the two young ladies on the bed before looking at Athan and said, "you will be attacked in a day or two."

Hearing that, Athan was surprised before he smiled faintly and asked, "why do you know that, and for what reason do you want to inform me of this?"

Elk's indifferent expression broke down into a small smile as she said, "just extending some goodwill.. The one who is going to attack you is Melker, whose sons you killed the previous time you came here."

Chapter 602 - Accompanying Death With Athan?

"Interesting. Well, it was fairly easy to tell it was me since the place those two last trespassed was the place where my people and I stayed," Athan said with a grin, "after looking at the mirage crystal, it should be easy to guess that I killed them."

"And you did it without anyone knowing, so when your people took chaos oath, they indeed didn't lie," Elk said as she wryly shook her head, "but I wonder how did you escape chaos oath."

Athan just smiled and changed the topic as he said, "Anyway, as long as my people are not attacked, this place is fine. But if something happens to them, then your boss and this Heaven's Tranquility will be no more."

Athan's demeanor changed as his face turned cold, "protect my people for your and this Heaven's Tranquility's well being. As for any attacks on me? I'll take care of them myself," a smirk formed on Athan's face as he continued, "things like that are exciting...hehe, let's see how they are going to attack me."

Elk was silent for a moment before she nodded, 'I'll keep an eye out on your people. However, I doubt anything will happen to them as two peak Evagon-realm powerhouses are watching over them, along with two mid-grade Evagon-realm powerhouses. So the target is likely you."

She didn't know why Athan was so confident of dealing with the enemy on his own, so she couldn't help but ask, "how will you deal with them? They will likely send Evagon-realm powerhouses and your current stren-"

Suddenly, she stopped talking as cold sweat started to form on her face, 'W-what the hell is this soul pressure? How strong is his soul? Is he a chaos king-realm powerhouse? But...chaos king-realm powerhouse can't stay here. Wait...the aura he exuded before was of the peak of Zen order elite. Damn, what the heck is going on?'

She herself was at the peak of Evagon-realm, but she didn't think that she could resist Athan's soul power for more than a few seconds if he used any soul techniques on her.

Athan put the teacup down and said with a faint smile, "you can go now and if you become aware of my enemy's movements, then tell them my location. I am sure you and your staff have eyes everywhere in your own turf."

Elk nodded as she stood up and left before saying, "alright."

After she came out, she directly flew away without looking at Zangeer and his friends.

Elk wanted to inform of her discovery of Athan's power to Kronel because if Athan wished, he could indeed kill them in this place where there is an absence of chaos king-realm powerhouse. Naturally, Kronel had defensive measures to defend against chaos king-realm powerhouse, but as Athan said, he could bring considerable destruction and death to others if provoked.

'Nothing must happen to those people who came with him...' Elk thought as she left the dimension of Dreamy Night Deep Blue and flew straight towards Kronel.

While moving, she informed of executive managers under her and told them to keep track of Athan and his people.

They couldn't pry onto their privacy while they were in any facility, but they could keep track of which people were in which facility.

...

On the other hand, Athan left the pavilion and saw that Zangeer and his friends were still there.

"What do you want?" Athan asked as he moved towards them.

"Hahaha, I don't want anything, but how about we go to the top-class pub here? I'll also share that best wine that you tasted in the Zinger town," Zangeer said after laughing.

"Sure," Athan nodded with a smile.

"Eh?..." Zangeer was surprised because he thought that Athan would reject him, but since he agreed, he smiled and said, "haha, alright. Let's go."

Sahara walked to Athan's other side and said, "hey Athan, do you have some of those voidling-zoids with you? I want to buy them."

"Me too," Baoshi, Lemon, Feigan, and Zakus also said at the same time as they had heard about it and wanted to try them out. Baoshi and Lemon were the other two girls in the group. They seemed to be twins because they had similar facial and body features of two tiny horns and a tiny slim red tail. The only difference between them was their hair color.

Athan smiled and took out six sets of voidling-zoids before giving them to everyone.

"What about cost?" Zangeer asked as he received a set as well.

Athan carefreely waved his hand and said, "no need. After all, you all are already accompanying death by staying with me."

"hahaha, brother Athan really likes to joke," Feigan said with a laugh.

Baoshi and Zakus also laughed, but Zangeer and Sahara laughed nervously because they felt that Athan was not joking. Especially since they knew his identity.

Zangeer sound transmitted his voice to Athan, "ahem, can you tell me what do you mean by accompanying death by staying with you?"

"Apparently, some people are going to attack me, and they are likely mid to peak stage of Evagon-realm. Anyway, it's not a big deal, so let's just have some fun at the pub," Athan said back in the same manner with a grin.

Athan was going to accompany Tiana and enjoy her, but after hearing that he would be attacked, he decided to change his plans.

Zangeer was speechless as he informed Sahara of the same thing while moving towards the pub on the top floor after leaving the dimension of Dreamy Night Deep Blue.

As everyone took a shortcut to the pub through wormhole lift towards the top floor, Sahara sound transmitted to Zangeer, "let's just go and see how it turns out. We two have absolute protection against peak Evagon-realm powerhouses for ten minutes, and those four idiots also can block one attack of peak Evagon-realm powerhouse with their safety charms if we are caught up in cross-fire. Anyway, once those attackers know our identity, they won't dare to attack us."

"Alright," Zangeer said as everyone entered the big portal gate and arrived at the pub situated at the beach. Some people were sitting at bar counters to drink while others sat at tables to drink and eat. Some others were dancings and enjoying the music.

"Woohoo, let's go.." Zakus and Lemon cheered as they went to the dancing zone and started vibing with others.

Chapter 603 - Elk's Hunch.

"Master Melker, I have hired three dark daggers. They have already entered Heaven's Tranquility and will execute their plan tomorrow," Judas said as he arrived in front of Melker in the palace.

Melker nodded before remembering something as his eyes turned cold, "does he have any family members? If he has, then kill one or two of them so he can also feel the pain of losing his loved ones like me."

Judas nodded and said, "from the information we got, he arrived at Heaven's Tranquility alone, but he has some companions, and they arrived there earlier than him. He has some connections with Lady Fu as well. Should I hire another dark dagger to kill one or two of his companions?"

Melker frowned and said, "doesn't he have any blood-related family members?"

"I'm afraid not," Judas shook his head.

"Forget it then. Anyway, make sure that nobody can track our activities and make the connection of those dark daggers with us," Melker spoke sternly.

"Rest assured, master Melker. I have used a pawn to hire those dark daggers from that organization. We have no connection with the assassination of Athan Void," Judas said with confidence.

However, those two didn't know that Elk had already ratted them out.

...

"Why did you that?! Are you out of your mind?" Kronel stood up from his seat and angrily shouted as he looked at Elk.

Elk was indifferently standing in front of Kronel and was not affected by his outburst as she spoke, "Kronel, your father sent me here to look after you and to make sure that you don't make any rash decisions."

"Bah! What can happen to me in this place?" Kronel scoffed as he sat back down and looked coldly at Elk, "why did you do that? give me a solid reason."

Elk's right eye twitched before she spoke, "to prevent the destruction of Heaven's Tranquility and...your death."

"Are you fucking playing with me?!" Kronel couldn't control his temper as he cursed. He was at the peak of Evagon-realm, which was the highest possible strength allowed here. Moreover, he was on his own turf, so how could he believe that there were chances of him dying here?

Suppose he was really sieged by all peak stage Evagon-realm powerhouses of the Midgard continent, which was impossible in the first place. Still, in that case, he could escape since the ascension to upper-chaosverse was right on top of him and connected to his Heaven's Tranquility.

Even though he couldn't activate defensive props of chaos king-grade here due to restrictions, he had no fear no one could use power equivalent to chaos king level.

"What kind of power here can kill me? NONE! but you still went there and spilled the beans."

Elk looked at Kronel and sneered, "need I remind you about that girl from Crow clan? if you went there and attacked her, you would die."

"That...that's a different matter!" Kronel was stunned before he snorted," she can't actively use her power, and it only comes out if someone attacks her or get close to her."

"But that's the proof that there are powers here that can kill you." Elk said plainly before she narrowed her eyes, "that Athan is giving me bad vibes from the start, and that's why I didn't press the matter of Melker's sons' death previously. You know what? Even after I told him about the attack on him, he took it extremely easy and is just waiting for attackers.

"Because...," Elk paused as her expression turned grave, "he has the power to kill Evagon-grade realm powerhouses despite being at zen order elite. I have felt his soul power myself, and it's even more powerful than mine."

Hearing that, Kronel was stunned before he started laughing, "Elk, Elk, Elk...you don't need to make such excuses after spilling the beans. You k-"

"Why don't you wait and observe? Ask Melker about how he will attack Athan and wait for it," Elk interrupted Kronel as she dropped this before turning around and started walking. Before leaving the hall, she said, "see for yourself how powerful that Athan is. After that, you can thank me."

Kronel frowned as he cooled down and sighed. Afterward, he fell into thought, 'It's true that Elk wouldn't do anything that would cause loss to me and Heaven's Tranquility. However,...'

After thinking for a moment, he contacted Melker and asked him about the detail of the attack.

After talking with Melker, he stood up and left the hall while muttering, "three dark daggers. Two at mid-grade Evagon-realm and one at the peak of Evagon-realm."

A grin formed on his face as he thought, 'Let's see if you are right or wrong, Elk.'

...

Half a day has passed since Athan arrived at the pub with Zangeer and his friends.

Athan had already informed Tiana, Lady Fu, and others to go to a facility where everyone could stay close to each other. That way, Lady Fu and Zorgia can provide better and quick protection for them.

"Hahaha, Athan. Are you already drunk? Hello? can you see me?" Zangeer waved his hands in front of Athan, who was dead drunk and lost in his thoughts.

Sahara arrived and sat on the stool beside Zangeer before ordering a drink.

"Hmm? you gave that wine to Athan?" Sahara asked with doubt as she looked at Zangeer and how he was calling out to drunk Athan, who was not responding.

Hearing her question, Zangeer nodded with a grin, "I am fairly sure he can resist the effects, but he is not doing that and is deliberately allowing himself to get affected."

"Eh...really? That wine is really strong as it can even affect Evagon-realm powerhouses, but Athan is still a Zen order elite. I don't think he can resist the effects."

At this time, Feigan walked towards them, and it seemed that he was drunk as well.

"Yo, Zangeer. Eh? this new friend is already dead drunk, it seems, hahaha," Feigan laughed loudly.

"Humph, you are no different," Sahara said with a snort.
