Chapter 618 - Atmospheric Body Realm
Athan's training for everyone to endure pain proved to be extremely useful because the path of body order ken in Zen realm and further is very tough and painful.
So everyone made rapid progress, and after three years, all of them reached the 3rd stage of the Atmospheric Body Realm, which is called, Physical Body Armament Manifestation.
Athan had reached the 3rd stage in just one year because he was already at the peak of the 1st stage of the Atmospheric Body realm, Physical Body Force Manifestation, and he progressed faster than others.
However, he had to stop after reaching the peak of the Atmospheric Body realm because he needed to ascend to the upper-chaosverse to break through to the next body realm.
...
In the 1st stage of Atmospheric Body Realm, which is called Physical Body Force Manifestation, people can manifest their physical body's strength in the form of aura. This aura is known as physical force, and getting hit by a punch conjured by that aura is the same as getting hit by the real powerful punch of that person's arm.
More importantly, with this physical force, all of their body order techniques' strength increases twice or more fold in strength.
The physical force of a person who just entered the 1st stage of the Atmospheric Body realm is 100 FP (force points). However, they need to increase their FP by strengthening their body more, which is only possible by comprehending and grasping body chaotic powers. To break through to the 2nd stage, Physical Body Cloak Manifestation, they need to have 1001 FP.
The more powerful, broad, and profound body chaotic power would allow people to strengthen their bodies more and progress faster, but the difficulty is also hellish.
However, Athan and others decided to grasp the most powerful body chaotic powers present in this special-grade chaos phenom dimension to progress faster.
Athan grasped a body chaotic power with 723 order sets in it, and he named it Melfecrux Divine Devil. This directly increased his FP to 1348, and he broke through to the 2nd stage, Physical Body Cloak Manifestation.
As its name suggests, once they break through to the 2nd stage, A cloak manifest from all of their cumulative body chaotic powers. This cloak increases the strength of their overall physical body by 50% directly. On top of that, their stamina, injury recovery, blood recovery, all organs, every single body-related thing, gets a significant boost.
Additionally, all of their body order techniques automatically become 50% stronger with the presence of this cloak. People can already fly without using order force or chaos force once they are breakthrough to Atmospheric Body Realm due to the Physical force. But after reaching the 2nd stage, they can fly faster and better with no chaotic atmosphere resistance blocking them.
One of the reasons this realm is called the Atmospheric Body Realm is because the chaotic atmosphere bends to their powerful bodily strength.
Naturally, the special-grade chaos phenom dimension is a different story, but after reaching the peak of this realm, they can also move unfettered in the special-grade chaos phenom dimensions.
The 3rd stage is Physical Body Armament Manifestation, and as its name suggests, once they break through to this stage, an entire full-body armor is manifested with all of their body chaotic powers' capabilities, all offensive and defensive capabilities. This increases their physical body's overall power by 100%. This armament also has another very powerful use; they can basically imprint their body order technique in this full-body armament to execute them faster, and their effects also increase tremendously.
Athan grasped two more body chaotic powers with 700+ order sets in them and reached the peak of the Atmospheric Body realm in just one year. Currently, his FP was 4215.
Besides Athan, others took a total of three years to grasp three-body chaotic powers with at least 650+ order sets in them and reached the peak of Atmospheric Body Realm as well.
Naturally, after Athan reached the peak of Atmospheric Body Realm, he started creating Body order techniques in those two years. On top of creating two powerful Body order techniques, he tinkered and practiced with his old body techniques.
He modified and upgraded his four stances of destruction and Archanid's Demon Web to a whole new height and power.
Naturally, he also changed their names. The Four Stances of Destruction turned into The Four Steps of Obliteration.
And Archanid's Demon Web turned into Araneae's Doom Nexus.
...
At this time, Athan and others were having a small break, and their appearances were different than before.
All of them had different-looking ethereal cloaks behind them, and their clothes were vastly different and more cool-looking. Those clothes were their armament, and those armaments also had a second form in which they could turn those clothes into solid full-body armor to provide a robust defense. Naturally, the cloth form still provided other boosts like physical strength, high recovery, body order technique boost, etc. However, turning them into solid armor form will increase their defense tremendously, and they can also manifest this same solid armor to their Order Eidos.
More importantly, if they have an armor they bought or custom ordered, they can infuse it in their armament. However, this armor will only display its defense capabilities in armament's solid full-body armor form.
"I finished counting. My current FP is 3774," the fourth brother of the Nimpere brothers said with a grin.
"Noooooo!!!," the second brother loudly cried because he had a bit less FP than the youngest.
"Hehe, second brother, you have the lowest FP among all of us. You lost the bet," the third brother taunted with a grin.
"Fine, fine, I will bear the brunt of the next chaos beast's attack when we go hunt," the second brother said with a resigned expression.
He knew that he would be seriously injured and would have to suffer pain because they were obviously going to hunt Evagon-grade chaos beast.
"Argh, this is annoying! Why can't we break through to the next Body realm here?" the second brother said with frustration.
"Alright, let's not waste time and go for the hunt," Theo said with a grin, "don't worry, Second bro, you will surely become more powerful after surviving the brunt of Evagon-grade chaos east's attacks, hahaha."
Chapter 619 - Evagon-1
Time passed as everyone trained and took occasional breaks.
From now on, their only goal was to break through to the Evagon-realm and ascend to the upper-chaosverse as soon as possible.
Everyone had already enhanced their Order Eidos until it reached a breakthrough point three years ago already, but they had paused it to train their body order ken.
Now that they have reached the peak of the Atmospheric body realm and also taken a break, they triggered their breakthrough and reached the Zen order Grandmaster realm.
This realm mainly was about soul enhancing because they need to comprehend various soul chaotic powers to make their soul stronger and create soul nuclei which is the requirement to breakthrough to Evagon-realm, and it's also the main thing needed to form Evagon-domain.
The thing was...Tiana, Drizzly, and others had soul power comparable to people who are in high-stage Evagon-realm already.
Athan is even more freak because his soul power was already in numbers that only Chaos King realm powerhouses could produce.
As such, everyone formed their soul nuclei in just a month and started doing the final step to breakthrough to Evagon-realm.
The final step was to connect their soul nuclei to their three Essence order cores. Once the connection is formed, they could officially trigger a breakthrough to the Evagon-realm. However, the breakthrough process is quite challenging.
Once they start the breakthrough, they will be surrounded by a life-threatening field around them with unique energy inside the field. This unique energy is known as the Evagon force. Using this force, they will have to form their Evagon-domain. One would only complete the Evagon domain if one perfectly infuses the three unique chaotic powers into a proper domain with soul nuclei as its core. This is only possible if they already have a proper connection between soul nuclei and three essence order cores.
Naturally, there is another way to break through to Evagon-realm, which is to connect their soul nuclei with their Heart order core. Athan and others had already formed their Heart order core when they reached the peak of the Atmospheric Body Realm. However, this method was extremely dangerous, more so because they were in the special-grade chaos phenom dimension.
Nine out of ten people die when they try to break through to Evagon-realm using this second way because if they failed to form their Evagon-domain on 1st try in this method, they would die.
However, in the first method, they can try a second time if they fail to form their Evagon-domain on the first try. However, the difficulty and danger would increase on the second try.
And if they fail on the second try, then they can give it a third try as well. However, that's the limit. If they fail in 3rd try as well, then they wouldn't get 4th try because...they would 100% die on the 3rd try if they failed.
Suppose Athan and others used the 1st method and broke through. In that case, they can still create another soul nuclei after breaking through to Evagon-realm and connect it to their Heart order core to make another Evagon-domain related to their body chaotic powers. After all, once they break through to Evagon-realm, they can get access to this Evagon-force, which would produce from their Order Eidos and is used to activate and maintain Evagon-domain. This Evagon-force also acts like enhancement energy. Basically, they can infuse it in their order techniques to give them a powerful boost.
Since Athan and others trained in both Essence order ken path and Body order ken path, they can have two Evagon-domains.
Anyway, though the 2nd method was dangerous, Athan went ahead and used that method to breakthrough to Evagon-realm.
He connected his soul nuclei with his Heart order core as a horrifying atmosphere formed around him within ten kilometers. Palpitating and destructive chaotic powers filled the ten-kilometer zone that seemed to have been separated from the space of the special-grade chaos phenom dimension.
Unlike in the first method, where they can directly get access to Evagon-force from the breakthrough zone, this method doesn't do that. Instead, one must get constantly hit by these horrifying chaotic powers, and only by doing that would they receive Evagon-force into their body. After all, the Evagon-domain of body order ken is quite different, and the method to form is also different.
The Essence order Evagon-domain is turning one's surroundings into their domain filled with their essence chaotic powers where they can bring out more than their full power and suppress their opponents. In their own domain, the space is theirs, and their order techniques are also buffed. They get an overall boost in their power.
However, the Body order Evagon-domain is evolving their Physical body force, Physical body cloak, and Physical body Armement to a whole new degree using Evagon-force.
Activating Body order Evagon-domain makes that person an unstoppable force of chaos. They are not suppressed anywhere because of their powerful body, not even in the opponent's essence order domain.
Their body order techniques are also enhanced to several degrees, and their defense is like a hyper-cosmic cockroach since they have superior healing power, superior physique body defense with high stamina recovery, etc., powerful body aspects. It's very tough to kill people with Body order Evagon-domain.
People with only Essence order Evagon-domain will have to be more careful against people with only Body order Evagon-domain. If both break each other's defense and land a powerful attack, the person with Body order Evagon-domain is less hurt and can counterattack faster.
However, in this realm's peak and onward, soul energy is essential and how one can use their soul powers in tandem with their other body or essence order technique is of utmost importance.
From this realm onward, the most powerful techniques are those that combine soul order techniques with body order and essence order techniques. These techniques are known as Arma'hin Order techniques.
The weakest of these techniques are peak Eve-grade, while the proper Karma'hin techniques are King-grade techniques. They are harder to learn and master but worth so much as it makes one very powerful. So if one can learn an Arma'hin order technique while being in Evagon-realm, their battle power can get a significant boost. It's like having a powerful trump card.
...
Athan was getting hit by horrifying chaotic attacks while receiving Evagon-force in his body.
The injuries and pain didn't bother him as he fully committed himself to forming his Body order Evagon-domain.
Chapter 620 - Evagon-2
Prev ChapterNext Chapter
Tiana, Avelia, Sen, and others watched Athan, who was leisurely enduring those chaotic attacks with a peaceful expression. They couldn't see what was happening inside Athan's body. Still, they knew that this process would wreak havoc inside their body even more and would cause hellish pain and suffering.
Right now, Athan had a slick, dark-golden demonic-looking armor with red and purple patterns. It looked devilishly slick and majestic both. There was a cloak around him as well, and this combination made him look badass, especially with his fluttering light grey shoulder-length hair and his divine carved face with those two mysterious symbolic eyes.
"Mhmm, he has succeeded. His breakthrough is almost over," Zorgia said with a nod.
Zorgia is someone who has trained in both the Essence order path and Body order path.
Actually, most of the people stuck at the peak of Evagon-realm would start training in body order ken and reach the peak of Atmospheric Body realm as well. After reaching the peak of Evagon-realm using Essence order ken path, it's more easy to create Body order Evagon-domain with almost no chance of failing as long as one is willing to endure the hellish pain.
Tiana and others looked at each other with determination as they seemed to have made up their mind.
Although Athan broke through using this risky method, which is not really risky for him but a walk in the path, he didn't force others to do the same as him.
He told them that they could breakthrough using any method they wished.
However, seeing Athan breaking through with the 2nd method, they all decided to do the same.
Naturally, none of them had a chance of failing as long as they were willing to feel the pain they had never felt before.
"I am going with the same route as Emperor! Period," Arcued shouted with determination.
"Alright, then let's start now!" Sen said as she flew away and started her breakthrough.
However, Tiana stopped others and said, "do it in two batches. Sister Drizzly, Sen, Avelia, Shiromi, Tealery, and I will break through first. Afterward, you six can start your breakthrough."
Theo and others nodded as they decided to go with Tiana's plan.
...
Athan finished his breakthrough soon and saw that others also started the second method breakthrough.
"Good," Athan nodded with a smile.
"Well, how can they back away after seeing you?" Lady Fu said with a smile.
"Hehe, we are finally going to upper-chaosverse very soon," Theo said with some excitement, "I wonder if I will be able to find my ancestor there?"
"Become strong and spread your name far and wide; this way, you can find your ancestor easily," Athan said with a grin.
"Hahaha, that's right," Theo laughed out loud as he understood.
"Emperor, I heard you have some kind of plan once we ascend to upper-chaosverse?" Arcued asked with curiosity.
"Eh, it's not that much of a plan but a decision," Athan said with a faint smile, "we are going to have some trouble up there, and our journey won't be smooth sailing. However, only with such difficulty can we progress faster and get better."
"Oh, big brother told us about making our own organization up there, is it related to that?" the eldest brother of the Nimpere brothers asked.
"Exactly, we will have to get resources on our own because it's our organization. It's unavoidable that we wreak some havoc there and make enemies," Athan said, "the world structure of upper-chaosverse is quite different than here."
"How is it? Since big brother went there, you must have found about it," the second brother asked.
"I got some rough information. Our first target is to find an island bubble. Those islands there are as big as an entire region here. They are called islands because all of them are inside a chaotic bubble, and they float in the space of chaosverse. They look small from the outside, only a couple of kilometers in size. However, once we go through that bubble, a vaster chaotic world comes into sight," Athan said.
"What's the importance of those islands? Since you mentioned them, they ought to be important...I guess," Theo asked.
Athan nodded with a faint smile before saying, "there are more things than just islands there, but these islands are going to be our first priority. We have to find an island bubble, enter inside, conquer it completely and build our base there. These island bubbles are roaming all the time, but once we conquer it and control its core, we can use it as our mobile base."
"Do they contain valuable resources?" Arcued asked.
"Yep, all those islands are filled with resources that we can sell or use. There are large trading posts everywhere, and it's some sort of hub where all beings, either lone wolves or from organizations, interact with each other," Athan said, "I haven't seen a trading post yet. Still, they are sure to be impressive from what I heard."
Shaking his head, Athan continued, "anyway, these islands are most accessible among other myriad things there for starters like us to get resources and progress. Naturally, even though they are most accessible, It's not going to be easy to conquer those islands."
Athan had told Linci's mother about his route, and in response, she said to him that he should start with those islands if he wanted to make his own organization.
"How developed it is? I mean, Is upper-chaosverse more advanced than lower-chaosverses? For instance, the Great Bridgade Palace here has access to the entire Midgard continent, and they can go anywhere they wish and also provide such facility to others," Theo asked with curiosity.
Athan wryly smiled and nodded, "I only took some glimpse, but...upper-chaosverse is way more advanced. Like...way more."
"I can't wait to go there! Damn," Arcued pumped his fist in excitement before he turned to the left side, "let's go, let's go, it's time for us to start our breakthrough."
Others also nodded as they saw Tiana and others returning after a successful breakthrough. They had suffered injuries and pain, but right now, they looked perfectly fine and with an even more powerful aura exuding from them.
After Arcued, Theo, and four Nimpere brothers left, Athan said to Tiana and others, "we have formed body order Evagon-domain only. So now it's time to form the Essence order domain as well.. Afterward, we will ascend to upper-chaosverse."
Chapter 621 - Ascending.
Dean Lenix and Head Zangrel had already returned back to upper-chaosverse and broke through to chaos king-realm.
They were more powerful than general chaos king-realm because of Athan's blessings on them. Their souls were getting stronger every day, having qualitative strengthening. They were not chaotic beings anymore but slowly turning into void beings.
Today both of them had met up in a hub plaza in upper-chaosverse. The plaza spanned several kilometers as it was like a floating city.
Inside a random pub of this plaza, Lenix and Zangrel was sitting in front of each other at a table.
"So Athan and others are ascending today?" Zangrel asked.
"Yep. You gathered the information that Athan asked for?" Lenix nodded before asking back.
Zangrel nodded before he curved his lips, "so we are really joining his organization. Heh, I wonder how our journey will go from now on?"
"I don't know, but joining Athan seems more exciting and rewarding to me," Lenix said with a grin.
At this time, four people arrived towards them.
Seeing them, Lenix and Zangrel exchanged glances, 'they are the people that Aren talked about.'
Indeed, they were none other than Tamiril, Yoha, Gouken, and Foujir. They were beings of the Starling Demon clan, which is affiliated with the House of Vora organization.
"Should we leave now, senior?" Tamiril arrived and said respectfully. She had more progress in the Chaos King realm than Lenix and Zangrel. Still, Lenix and Zangrel had broken through to chaos king-realm in the essence order and body order path both. In comparison, Tamiril was a chaos king powerhouse in Essence order path only.
Athan had also informed her that Zangrel and Lenix are in higher positions than her, and she ought to be respectful to her.
[A/N: Soul order path is the main requirement, so I am not mentioning it at every point. It's either (soul + essence), (soul + body), or (soul + essence + body).]
On the other hand, Yoha, Gouken, and Foujir were still at the peak of Evagon-realm. Foujir was given neo-vortex flower after much discussion, but he failed to break through to chaos king-realm with it.
"Did you meet Athan when he arrived in upper-chaosverse some time ago?" Lenix asked Tamiril.
"Nope. But he contacted me at that time and told me about participating in the general event. He then told me to meet up with you two before going towards the event avenue," Tamiril said.
"Eh, is he planning to join that event?" Zangrel spoke with a stunned expression on his face.
Lenix nodded with a wry smile, "I just hope that he doesn't cause much trouble there and attract bad eyes."
After saying that, he stood up and said, "anyway, you five go to the event venue while I go and pick them up at the ascension platform dome in Chaos Monolith Hills. They should be arriving there any time now."
...
At this moment, Athan and others were inside the cosmic path as they were ascending to the upper-chaosverse.
All those people who are part of any organization can ascend to the chaosverse through their organization's cosmic path portal. Naturally, after going through that, they will be tested and will be given several choices and positions. Generally, new Evagon-realm beings with no background are sent to harvest, mining, etc., to gather resources in island bubbles controlled by the organizations in a safer environment. In turn, these organizations would provide a safe place for them in the upper-chaosverse and a chance to grow up within a better environment.
These newly arrived Evagon-realm beings' position and their treatment depend on several tests conducted on them by their respective organizations.
However, they can also leave the organization and fend for themselves. But to do that, they must participate in a regular large-scale event. Those without background but with ambition would choose this path. In comparison, some would climb higher with the help of organizations. Naturally, they also have to work for the organization in this case.
Both ways have a chance of dying, but the first option has a higher chance of dying because they wouldn't receive any protection from the organization or place to stay after finally leaving the organization and that too by participating in a slightly brutal regular large-scale event.
In this event, they will have to find at least three Evagon-grade natural resources and give them to the organization before they are allowed to leave.
This regular event is large-scale because it is held within a force-treasure dimension and shared among ten nearby organizations—all people who ascended to upper-chaosverse through these organizations and want to join other organizations or roam solo or with their group would have to participate in this large-scale event, find at least three evagon-grade natural treasures resources, and submit them to their respective organization's post at the venue of this event.
However, there is also an opportunity in this event that people can search for more treasures and get points after submitting them to their organization. They can buy other resources or currency with a discount with these points. Naturally, none of them can steal the resources they find in this force-treasure dimension. If they tried, they would be found out and receive harsh punishment.
...
"Ahem, so we are going to participate in this large-scale event and...steal the resources?" Theo asked with a wry smile.
"We have arrived," Drizzly said as she pointed at the large silver-blue portal.
After going through that portal, they will arrive at the ascension zone of Chaos Monolith Hills.
"You all will not steal; only I will steal. Now let's go," Athan said with a grin as he entered through the portal first.
Tiana and others also entered through the porta as they arrived on a large platform with seven other portals that looked similar to the one they came from. The entire platform was covered in a dome, so they were basically inside a specific place of this main Chaos Monolith Hills organization.
There were not many people here. The other seven portals were silent, and a man was sitting on a chair at the exit of this platform dome. Seeing so many people arriving, he was a bit surprised.
'Which lower-chaosverse branch are they from? Oh...their auras are...hmmm, it looks like this batch is quite talented.'
However, the man looked like a guard, turned his head outside the exit, and saw Lenix arriving.
Athan and others also saw Dean Lenix entering.
"Hahaha, perfect timing! Now let's go and finish the procedure here before going to the event venue," Dean Lenix said with a loud laugh.
Chapter 622 - Mechatrons. Event.
"Since you all don't want to stay in the organization, we don't need to conduct your tests to determine your potential, talent, treatment, and position," dean Lenix said as he led Athan and others in spacious corridors.
The entire base of this Chaos Monolith Hills organization was very vast, and they saw many kinds of people. Suddenly, they saw five p...people? Never mind, they saw five beings walking as they seemed to be moving in Athan and other's direction.
Those five beings looked like mechanic lifeforms, and they exuded such a threatening aura that it made everyone suffocate.
They looked like those robots in the transformers movie but more techno advanced and powerful.
They exuded their haughty aura without reserve.
'Mechatron beings from Descron clan? what are they doing here?' Dean Lenix thought with an internal frown and hurridly informed everyone, 'don't provoke them or do anything to attract their attention. Just move silently.'
Tiana, Drizzly, Avelia, Sen, and others didn't even need to be informed of such a thing because they were feeling palpitation just by looking at them.
Athan was curiously looking at them as even he felt a slight threat from them. Even dean Lenix sounded fearful of them. But Athan was not intimidated by them like others.
"Humph, how haughty. If Rimexor were here, he would have turned them into scraps," Primo said with a snort.
"Who is Rimexor?" Athan asked even though he guessed that Rimexor was likely a true voidling like Primo.
"Rimexor is a robot at our home. Unlike these ten-meter giant robots, Romexor is just one meter tall but very powerful," Primo said.
"Is he more powerful than you?" Athan asked with a faint smile.
"I-...Nyaa! I am more powerful because I can beat him, Nyamph," Primo said with a pout.
The five robotics beings left as everyone sighed a relief.
"Who were they, dean Lenix?" the eldest brother of Nimpere brothers asked with curiosity.
"I only know about their clan. They are the most powerful bunch in this cosmic chaos zone. I am just as surprised as you regarding their visit to Chaos Monlith Hills because, in their eyes, this organization is like a puny ant they can crush any time," dean Lenix said while shaking his head.
"They are indeed the most powerful beings I have encountered to date except for three people," Athan said with a nod.
"What! You just ascended to the upper-chaosverse, so how come you already know people more powerful than them?" Dean Lenix asked with a dumbfounded expression. Even though Athan arrived at upper-chaosverse before this, he stayed in the Crow house the entire time in his previous visit.
"Hahaha, I have intertwined with powerful beings since my re-birth," Athan said with a laugh before a grin surfaced on his face," anyway, it's going to be interesting because those robots are likely going to be our first major enemies here."
Hearing him, everyone became speechless while dean Lenix wiped some sweat from his forehead, "ahem, you can do that but...not too early. Let's get some more powerful, shall we?"
...
Dean Lenix led everyone to meet a person who seemed more powerful than Dean Lenix and told him that they were leaving the organization instead of continuing.
Hearing that, the lady with rose head and roots as limbs gave out thirteen tokens to Athan and others before saying as the horizontal pair of rose petals that looked like lips moved while her beady white eyes blinked on her flower-shaped head, "Lenix, since you are with them, I assume they are from the sub-branch of organization you supervised in one of the lower-choasverses."
"Yeah," Lenix nodded with a smile.
Hearing that, the rose-head lady narrowed her beady white eyes before saying, "then why don't you convince them to stay? all of them look like a talented bunch with high potential."
"Eh...well, I tried to convince them, but they don't want to stay, sigh. It's such a loss," dean Lenix shook his head with regret.
Tiana, Avelia, and others looked at each other seeing dean Lenix's acting, and barely surpassed their laughs.
"Fine, fine, go and lead them to the event venue," the rose-head lady said to Lenix before she turned to Athan, Tiana, and others before saying, "yo kiddos, if you want to return to the organization, you are always welcome."
"Sure," Tiana nodded with a polite smile.
Afterward, Dean Lenix led everyone to another place that was filled with portals. This place was crowded as many people came and went through the fifty-some portals in this large hall.
They entered through one of the portals and arrived at an even more crowded place.
"Super boost potions for sale! It will help you out in the most crucial moment to turn the situation around! Use it to kill the opponent off-guard or collect natural resources from the habitat of a powerful chaos beast."
"King-grade items that can be fully accessed by Evagon-realm! 50% off for first fifty customers! Only seven customers are left for this deal! Hurry and buy them."
...
"This looks like a market," Sen said with a speechless expression.
"Hahaha, true. But you don't need these items. Let's register your tokens so you can dive straight into the force-treasure dimension. After finishing the matter here, you all can go meet Linci."
"Yep, hehehe," Athan nodded with a grin, "I also need to empty this powerful resource zone."
Hearing that, dean Lenix looked at Athan with wide eyes, "you....you are not really planning something that will cause havoc and attract attention, right?"
"Don't worry, I don't think anyone can discover what I put inside my void region," Athan said with a faint smile, "I decided to participate in this event mainly to gather some initial funds for our organization hehehe. I am going for a looting spree and come out with everything right under their noses."
"Nyahahaha, let's go! It's going to be fun because the great I, Primo, will be sniffing out valuable resources," Primo maniacally laughed as it flew around with excitement.
Dean Lenix wiped some sweat as he smiled weakly, "just make sure that you don't get discovered. This event venue is under the watch of those Mechatrons, and they...are not easily fooled."
"Relax," Athan said as he patted dean Lenix's shoulder with a faint smile, "let's go and register our tokens first."
Chapter 623 - Power Sensors. Event-1
"There's not much in the registration process. You all just have to pass the entry gate portal that leads to the force-treasure dimension with the token, and you will be registered. If you don't have a token on you when you try to enter, you will be kicked out in the next instant and investigated," dean Lenix said.
As such, Athan and others went to the event venue, which was a large ground with a big gate portal. There were ten large booths on this ground and tons of people coming in and out of the portal gate.
The ten booths represented ten organizations of this Chaos Division called Tertek chaos division. There are many such chaos divisions in this Mronzil Cosmic Chaos Zone.
The ten organizations and powers of this Division are as follows: Chaos Monolith Hills, Great Bridgade Palace, House of Vora, Boundless Pavilion, Millenium Frost Demon Clan, Plum Burning Palace, Amber Flower Mountain, Peach Blossom Valley, Urgan'zil Clan, Jukran Vampyre Clan.
Four of those ten organizations are 6th-grade: House of Vora, Millenium Frost Demon Clan, Peach Blossom Valley, and Jukram Vampyre Clan. The remaining six are 7th-grade organizations. Meanwhile, the Descron clan of Mechatron beings is a 3rd-grade organization.
The lowest grade is 10th-grade, but the highest is not 1st-grade.
...
"Lord Athan!" Tamiril and the other three people from the House of Vora bowed towards Athan with a respectful gaze. Yoha, Foujir, and Gouken had anticipation on their faces.
"Hahaha, Athan. I have gathered the information that you wanted. But I guess you want to finish the matter with this event first, eh?" said head Zangrel with a loud laugh.
Zangrel, Tamiril, and the other three were waiting here for Athan to arrive and walked towards them as soon as they entered the event's large venue.
"You four, wait here with head Zangrel and dean Lenix until we finish the matter with this event," Athan said to Tamiril and the other three.
"As you wish, lord Athan," Tamiril and the other three nodded and said respectfully.
"Before entering, let's buy you power sensors. They are not 100% accurate, but it's better to have them than not," dean Lenix said as he led Athan and others towards a shop building on this large ground.
"What are power sensors?" Theo asked.
"It's a device that can let you see the battle power of anyone you see. I also have it in my eyes," dean Lenix said with a smile.
...
After entering the shop, Athan paid 1.3 million high-graded chaos stones to buy thirteen low-tier power sensors. The power sensors looked like a tiny nail-sized cube, and they needed to infuse their soul energy in it before taking it near their left or right eye, whichever they preferred, after which the device would enter in that eye.
After everyone finished activating the device, they started using it on each other.
Sen looked at Shiromi and saw a digitized panel that only she could see appear in her left eye.
[Human]
-969,490 battle power.
"Hey Shiromi, you got 969,490 battle power," said Sen with a grin before asking, "What about me?"
Shiromi looked at Sen and...
[Mutated Human]
-961,789 battle power.
"Ahem, you are a bit lower than me. You got 961,789 battle power," said Shiromi with a smile.
"You can check your own battle power; just direct your soul sense to your own body from outward," dean Lenix said.
"So? who has the highest battle power among us? Naturally, except for big brother Athan," asked the Eldest brother of Nimpere brothers before saying," by the way, I have 940,880 battle power."
"I have 942,390. Eldest, I am higher than you, hehehe," said the fourth brother with a snicker.
"Humph, these are just numbers. You also need wits while doing battle, and this device doesn't display that," the eldest brother spoke sagely with an indifferent expression.
"I have 952,450 battle power," Theo said.
"I have 988,880," Tiana said with a smile.
"Oh...you are just one thousand higher than me, Tiana," said Avelia with a wry smile.
"I have 998,740 battle power," said Arcued while scratching his nose.
"I have 965,450 battle power," Tealery said as she elbowed Arcued, "dang, you might have the highest among us, I think,"
"Way to go, brother Arcued," said the second brother of Nimpere brothers while grinning, "anyway, I got 891,110 battle power, meh."
"Geez, sister Drizzly got the highest among us, actually because...I can't sense her soul power," said the fourth Nimpere brother.
"What about you, Athan?" asked Drizzly as she shot a curious gaze towards Athan.
Athan wryly smiled and shook his head, "same as you. Can't sense my battle power."
Everyone looked at Athan to check his battle power, but...
[Unknown being, base human]
-Battle power is not measurable.
"Well, I can see Athan's battle power," dean Lenix said with a faint smile, "the power sensors you got are low-tier, and if the person you are trying to scan has 1m+ battle power, the power sensor won't work. But my power sensor is better, so I can see that Athan has 1.8m of battle power.
"My power sensor also displays more information, and since Athan had bared himself open, the power sensor has captured that the majority of his battle power is due to his soul power. You all also have very high soul power for someone who just entered Evagon-realm. After Athan used that ability on us, all of our soul power had increased drastically."
"But1.8 million battle power? what the hell...I think current Athan's soul power should be even higher than Dean Lenix," Theo muttered with disbelief.
"Indeed, it is," Dean Lenix nodded with a wry smile, "Athan, the people with highest battle power in the force- treasure dimension have at most 1m battle power. So...Ahem, don't go too wild inside," dean Lenix said with an exasperated expression.
"I'll see how it goes," Athan said with a grin before he started walking towards the large gate portal, "let's go, everyone."
"Hahaha, it's time to wreak havoc and spread Emperor's name far and wide," Arcued spoke while loudly laughing.
Chapter 624 - Event-2
"GIVE IT TO ME!" Arcued shouted as he chased a man with a shark head and bird wings.
Aruced had his signature scythe in his hand, and the shark-head birdman was scared out of his wits at being chased by Arcued.
"Psycho bastard, stop chasing me already! You've been fucking chasing me for a whole day now! Given your strength, you can easily collect more Evagon-grade natural resources here!" said the shark-head birdman.
Arcued had an angry expression as he spoke while chasing, "I will not give up chasing you, and once I catch you, you are going to die!"
"Stop dreaming, Psycho! By now, you should have realized that your speed is slower than mine. You can never catch me," said the shark-head birdman while sweating internally, 'how long is that bastard planning to chase me?'
The matter at hand was that Arcued finished killing a chaos beast in a cave. Still, before he could take the evagon-grade natural treasure in the cave, this shark-head birdman arrived and stole the treasure.
The difference between them was 1 kilometer right now.
Arcued had an order technique that could hit 1 kilometer away, but...after arriving at upper-chaosverse, all of their order techniques and powers were suppressed to an extent.
Arcued's soul sense could easily sense ten kilometers around him when he was in the Midgard continent. However, after arriving here, that distance barely passed 1 kilometer.
Another day passed, but Arcued still chased that shark-head birdman and didn't let him out of his sensors.
"Psyco!! I am telling for your own sake! Leave me alone and search for other treasures! By now, you would have found three more natural resource treasures with your strength."
...
"Why is Arcued still inside? Everyone aside from Athan should be able to come out since we only need to submit three resources and be done with this event," Tealery asked with doubt.
"I also don't know, and unfortunately, our contact cards don't receive calls inside," Theo said with a wry smile.
"It's been three days since we entered the event, and we all came out yesterday after submitting three treasures. Given that, Arcued should be done with his work considering his strength as well. But...could he have met some accident?" said the eldest Nimpere brother.
"T-this...no," Tealery shook her head repeatedly before saying," nothing can happen to Arcued. I am sure he is fine."
"Yeah, he should be fine," Theo nodded.
"If you want to earn some easy money, then let's go to the central plaza in the nearby trading post. We can go there through the cosmic teleportation portal," said dean Lenix.
"Yeah, let's go," Tiana nodded, "Athan will take more time inside the force-treasure dimension because of his plan."
"We four will stay here and wait for lord Athan," Tamiril said.
"Alright, then let's go, Lenix. These kids are already quite powerful, so they might be able to complete some challenges of Evagon-rank and earn low-tier ken-stones for starter, hahaha," head Zangrel said with a loud laugh.
...
Inside a certain location in the Force-treasure dimension...
Athan was moving carefreely, and he had also activated his void robe and void mask so no one could sense his aura or gauge his battle power. Naturally, he was playing a wolf in sheep's skip.
In these three days, he had gathered fifteen Evagon-rank natural treasures. Naturally, he didn't submit them but put them inside his void region.
"Primo, where's the next location with high energy readings?"
"Nyaa, It's straight ahead in this direction," Primo said while pointing the tiny paws in a direction.
"Let's go! Our goal is to collect thousand natural treasures," Athan said with a devilish grin on his face.
"Nyahaha, let's go!"
After a while, they arrived at the location sensed by Primo.
"Master, there's a big boy inside this mountain, and the treasure is also inside," Primo said.
"Big boy? How big is that boy?" Athan said with an interesting expression before he extended his soul sense below as his lips curved into a small smile, "Well, well, the boy is indeed quite big."
Athan flew right on top of the mountain as his right leg started shining.
Silver-gold patterns with dark brown vein-like designs instantly became visible on his right leg as he decided to execute the second step of Death, Death by Hell Shred.
Afterward, the leg started burning in dark-red hellish flames.
"Nyaa, Master, I doubt this attack would damage that big boy below that much."
Athan faintly smiled before saying, "I know. I can apply the applications of my order techniques in abyssal darkness, which is far better than simply using abyssal darkness to attack directly. However, I don't want to kill the big boy down below yet."
Instead of simply using abyssal darkness to attack directly, he can condense it into a ball and use it like a condensed orb of abyssal darkness, which would obviously deal more damage. Just like that, order techniques are far more complicated mechanics that brings out even more power from chaotic powers than simply using them directly. So Athan can bring out even more damage from his abyssal darkness if he used it in his order techniques.
That's why he focused more on order techniques instead of chaotic power's effects. All of the body chaotic powers he chose are absolute strengthening that upgrades his body's overall strength.
"Anyway, I want to check my body strength because the big boy down there seems like it might be able to push my body to the limits," Athan said as he moved his leg in a down-cut motion.
From his leg, tremendous physical force in the form of the order technique, Death by Hell Shred, released downward.
The attack was a two-meter-long slash that was spinning with dark-red flames around it.
The slash hit the mountain and pierced it as it continued below while melting the mountain.
*roarrrrrrrrrrrrr....*
*crack...*
Suddenly, the whole mountain broke apart as a giant that was two thousand meters tall came out from the mountain.
It had a single large horn and a single large eye.
"It's coming."
The monster waved its large right hand, which started shining with red-gold patterns towards Athan to attack.
Seeing it, Athan activated turned his Body Armament into solid form and also activated his Body order domain, Absolute Tyrandrin.
*BOOOOOOOOOM...*
The large slap hit Athan as some cracks appeared on his body armament, but they healed rapidly before Athan tried to stop the forceful motion of his body that was pushing him to the side due to the slap.
Athan gritted his teeth as his expression slowly turned into a large grin because he finally stopped the power of this monster's slap.
The monster looked at the ant with confusion, 'It managed to diffuse my power?'
Suddenly, it felt a slight stinging pain because Athan penetrated both of his hands into the large palm of the monster.
"Big boy, get ready to fly," Athan said as he exerted all of his physical body's strength and also consumed a majority of his Evagon-force to exert his Body order domain's power.
"Arghhhhhhhhhhh," Athan shouted as he exerted all of his power, his body turned fifty meters tall giant, before turning into 5 centimeters small in an instance.
His physical power instantly increased by many folds as the monster felt an immovable force on itself.
Athan then flew high while carrying the giant monster who struggled but to no avail.
Two people nearby saw a giant chaos troll flying in the sky with a dumbfounded expression, "What the fu..."
"S-someone is fuking forcefully pulling that troll! Damn, who the hell is that?"
Chapter 625 - Having Fun. Target Of 1000.
"Release me!" the troll roared with a bit of fear in his voice. He was getting scared of this tiny ant-like being that was pulling him into the sky.
"Release you? Hahaha, sure," Athan said while laughing loudly.
The giant looked downward before his eyes almost popped out of his sockets, "don't release me! I am unable to fly! Don't release me!"
Athan grinned as he started exerting more force because he...wanted to spin the giant.
"Urgh...this is going to be tiresome," Athan muttered as he slowly but surely spun the giant.
One round...
Two round...
....
"S-stoppppppp," the giant cried loudly as his struggles were futile. If he were thrown like this...he would really break all of his bones, and his organs would be displaced.
The two people looking at this scene were speechless and looked at each other.
"Why is he doing this?"
"Who knows? But that looks fun. If I had such a high physical strength, I would want to lift this giant troll and throw him. Oh right, maybe he was ambushed by a troll previously? those bastards are hard to sense unless you infuse your soul sense deep underground."
"Yeah, their one-powered slap will definitely turn our body into powder if we are not strong enough."
At this time, Athan spun the giant many times and gathered a strong motion.
"Off you gooo~~," said Athan as he released the powerful grip of his physical force and hands from the giant troll's arm.
"NOOOOOOOOO!!"
On the other hand, the two speechless people looked up and saw...the giant troll passing by from the top of their heads.
"What a madman. I don't think that Shubargu can lift a giant troll and throw it like this."
"Yeah."
...
Day 7 since Athan entered the force-treasure dimension.
*BOOOM...*
Currently, he was playing against a rather powerful person here.
He couldn't sense the battle power of this guy, which meant that he was at the peak of Evagon-realm, and his battle power surpassed 1 million.
Naturally, this event was only for Evagon-realm people, so there was no way chaos king-realm powerhouse could enter here. This also means that Athan...was invincible here.
At this moment, he had activated his Essence order Evagon domain and was playing against this guy who had a serious expression on his face.
The person looked human with only two additional body traits: his demonic horns and a dark-red-green tail.
'Damn, who this guy is? I am feeling a rather high threat from him...Hmmm, should I escape?' thought Shubargu.
"Nyaa, master. How long are you going to play with this guy? Haven't you tested your Myriad Tinkers domain already?"
"I have, but he is slowly pulling out because he is sensing a threat from my soul."
"What do you want to do with him, master?"
"I feel like he is a good fighter and talented. His Essence order evagon-domain is not losing out mine," Athan said with an interesting expression.
"Well, of course. He is at the peak of Evagon-realm while you are at the early stage of Evagon-realm. He is not using his full strength because he is cautious of you, Nyahahah."
"Hahaha, I know. That's why it's interesting. I guess I will use him to finish our target early. We have only gathered 200 some Evagon-natural treasures while our goal is 1000," Athan said with a grin.
*shua...*
Suddenly, the colorful world around that was filled with small, large, and different sizes of crystals along with colorful sparkling raging rivers.
This entire world was filled with all chaotic powers that Athan comprehended and was given its unique structure.
However, this evagon-domain actually started cracking because the person fighting against Athan started using his full power. Shubargu also activated his body order domain since he also trained to max in his body order ken path and essence order ken path.
"Let's end the play here," Athan murmured as he waved his hand and deactivated the Evagon-domain to save the remaining Evagon-force.
Seeing that, the Shubargu was stunned and confused. However, he almost pissed his pants the next second because he saw Athan throwing out a fist-sized dark black orb with a 1-meter light black film around it.
Seeing it, he felt his life threatened, and the moment that orb entered his Evagon-domain, his domain started to break apart.
"Nyaa! this order technique is really suitable for abyssal darkness. It has tremendous pulling force, breaking down waves, and disruptions. With the unstoppable nature of abyssal darkness which will devour everything, enemy's domains are going to get shredded and devoured easily," Primo said as he flew around Athan.
Indeed, after three seconds, Shubargu had to deactivate his evagon-domain to save his evagon-force, and without thinking twice, he turned around and ran away.
However, Athan shook his head with a smile as a cloud appeared below his feet, and a cloudly scarf appeared that went around both of his hands and behind his neck.
Although Athan's speed had become a lot slower in the upper-chaosverse, his speed was still faster than Shubargu as he passed by him and appeared in front of him.
Athan's current cloud of chaos was at full fledge level 7, which only chaos-king powerhouses can use.
"Don't run; it's useless. Also, no need to be scared because I don't feel like killing you, and if I don't feel like doing something, I don't do it," Athan said with a nonchalant smile.
"Y-you....you are cheating! You are clearly above Evagon-realm, so how did you manage to enter here?"
"Hahaha, I am at Evagon-realm. Didn't you see that my evagon-domain was even weaker than yours?" Athan said with a playful smile.
Hearing that, Shubargu was stunned, "oh yeah...W-wait...but how?"
He was getting more confused, and seeing that, Athan took out hundred voidling-zoids balls and gave eight balls to Shubargu.
"Infuse your soul energy in it and work for me. Your job is to gather Evagon-rank natural treasures and give them to me. If you don't do that, you are going to die," said Athan as he let out the entirety of his soul presence with a gleam of black and white glowing in his eyes.
Seeing that, Shubargu felt primal fear deep within his soul, a kind of fear that he had never felt before. He felt that...death would not be the least of his concern if he didn't obey the person in front of him.
"You can call me Athan. What about you?" Athan said with a grin as he sensed that he succeeded in roping the person to join him....albeit, a little bit forcefully.
Chapter 626 - Strange Dwarf.
*gulp...*
Shubargu gulped in fear while flying.
'Damn...these things are so convenient and powerful. However, he only gave me eight to control while giving me the help of other ninety-two,' Shubargu thought as he looked at a total of hundred voidlings who were flying around him.
'Can he really control all of them even though he is already pretty far away?' Shubargu wondered as he looked at the voidling around him.
*roar....*
Suddenly, a giant three-headed bird with three different chaotic heads appeared. Its aura was at the high stage of Evagon-grade.
However, before Shubargu could attack, the ninety-two voidlings released their attacks all at once, covering a large area as they rained on the three-headed giant bird.
*BOOOOOOM...KREEEEEE...CRACKLE....*
Not even the bird's trace remained.
*gulp...*
"So he can really control them even though he is far away," Shubargu muttered as he wiped some sweat on his forehead that appeared when he saw ninety-two voidlings attack at the same time.
Suddenly, he heard Aren's voice from one of the voidling, "I will not waste attacks of voidlings like because they will run out of gas fast that way. From now on, only a few of them will aid you according to the situation. Now start moving fast and gather the resources."
"Y-yes, sir!" Shubargu hurriedly spoke.
...
Somewhere in this force-treasure dimension, at the top of a large mountain...
Athan was sitting crossed-legged with his eyes closed.
He sent Shubargu with his voidling to gather treasure while he decided to power up his body more using Chaos Matrix.
He hadn't used chaos matrix to transform his body for a while now.
First, Athan removed all other chaotic power catalysts from his chaos matrix since he didn't need them anymore.
Afterward, he used Aarang chaotic power and created its catalyst before putting it in the first slot of the chaos matrix.
He then started channeling the chaotic energy of Aarang chaotic power from the Aarang chaotic world into the catalyst, which began to refine, enhance, and transform his entire body fundamentally through the chaos matrix.
His body was glowing in colorful lights, and various types of weapons were protruding from his body. Red and light brown Lightning cracked on his body as multiple patterns of dark grey, purple, blue, dark blue appeared on his body.
Athan was undergoing a total fundamental transformation, and his body was getting stronger each second. After the transformation is finished, he can transform his body into Chaotic Body: Aarang chaotic energy form.
"I wonder if I can use my Physical body Armament and Essence order main in chaotic body form?" Athan muttered as he was observing his own body's transformation.
"Hmmm?" Athan looked up suddenly as he felt that he was being observed. However, he was at the top of the mountain, and the sky of this dimension had nothing but chaotic powers flying everywhere.
He extended his soul sense upward, but he sensed no presence.
"Strange...was it my imagination?" Athan muttered before shaking his head, "nope. I don't believe it should be just my imagination."
"Nyaa! Master, you didn't imagine things," said Primo as he came out from Athan's void region and looked upward.
"A fucking disaster is observing us right now!" Primo spoke with utmost seriousness.
Hearing the seriousness in Primo's voice, Athan was shocked after a long time. He knew that Primo was a higher existence being, and he had never seen this lively cat this serious.
"Geez, so you can indeed...sense me sensing you, hahahahah."
Athan heard a strange voice coming out of nowhere that ended with a rapid, loud laughing.
Suddenly, Athan sensed something behind him and burst out with all of his abyssal darkness and attacked behind him.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch...hey, hey, hey, what the hell? how can you hurt me?"
Athan saw a meter tall dwarf, but it had drco-bat wings and wore a luxurious outfit embedded with colorful gems and patterns.
This dwarf also wore black goggles, and right now, he was jumping around because abyssal darkness was stuck to his body.
However, Athan could feel that his abyssal darkness didn't hit the dwarf but was blocked by an invisible barrier around him. The dwarf was providing his power to the barrier to waste abyssal darkness and stop it from reaching him.
Athan could also feel that the strange being in front of him had immense power and felt a clear threat of death upon himself after a long time.
"Shaaaaa," Primo hissed with alertness as its eyes gleamed lapis blue, black, and white.
"Chill, chill, cat! No need to be so cautious of me!" the dwarf hurridly spoke as he had finished removing all abyssal darkness around him.
"Who are you?" Athan spoke with a serious expression.
"Ahem. First, tell this cat to stop glaring at me. I sense a power in it, which can threaten me. As much as I feel disbelief at sensing my self-threatened, it's true. And this truth is a bit exciting," the dwarf said with a grin, showing his thick-white teeth.
'Hmm...he is not here with any malicious intent,' Athan thought before telling Primo to calm down but still be cautious.
"So? Who are you?" the dwarf asked with a grin.
"Shaaaaa! That's our question," Primo hissed angrily.
"Hahahaha, fine. I will introduce myself first. I am one of the major Orchos Celestials: Dreevindo, the Curasiour. Now your turn, who are you?" said Dreevindo while laughing, "anyway, you two are rather strange and caught my eyes, so here I am."
"I am Athan, and this is Primo," Athan said plainly.
"What?!!! Y-you...that's all?" Dreevindo had a shocked expression on his face as he spoke, "I want to know your background!! You two are very strange, strange beings. I've never seen someone like you two before. So I want to know who you truly are, smh!"
"I am your father! Now kneel," Primo hissed angrily.
"Fuck this cat! Why it's so rude?" Dreevindo shouted back angrily as well.
"Primo..., relax."
"Nyaaa...I-ok, master," Primo said as its fluffy tail curved downward.
Athan looked at Dreevindo and spoke slowly but seriously, "I have no background.. I just ascended from lower-chaosverse to here. Now you tell me, what is your purpose for coming to me?"
Chapter 627 - Dreevindo
"Umu umu, I see," said Dreevindo while nodding, "so you have no background? But the power you wield is strange. It's not chaotic! It's not Genome power as well. Strange, strange, how strange."
Dreevindo then narrowed his eyes while looking at Athan. It was as if he was inspecting Athan's body.
"Your body is strange is as well! How can you transform your body into a chaotic energy body like that? Strange, and interesting," Dreevindo said while sweeping his glance on Athan's body that was currently in the form of Chaotic Body: Aarang chaotic power.
"What about you, shorty? Tell us about yourself more, humph," Primo said with a snort.
"Geez, this cat is annoying. Even if I am short, I am one of the strongest beings here! Humph, to make you understand more thoroughly, there are a total of seven realms above Evagon-realm-"
"Booooooo, If I were here with my true self, I would pulverize you in a second! Humph," said Primo while flying around Dreevindo, "If you do anything funny, I will forcefully channel my true self's power here, so...don't even try."
"GEEEEEEEEEEZ, I already said that I am not here with malicious intent! I am just here to have some fun!" Dreevindo shouted while glaring at Primo.
"Nyaaa! You never said that you were not here with malicious intent! Yo-"
"Primo...," said Athan as he looked at Primo, "calm down. He is not here with malicious intent, and since you can channel your true power, he won't do anything that will result in his death."
"Nyaa! Master, you have failed to notice, but this shorty has put a strange barrier around us in a large area!"
"Hey, hey, hey! That's called pre-caution! Anyway, the barrier is not for you, smh," Dreevindo said with a scoff.
"Then why did you put up that barrier?" asked Athan with a frown. He didn't sense any barrier and could not perceive it even now.
"I put up that barrier so that other Orchos Celestials won't notice my actions and especially won't be able to notice you," Dreevindo said with a grin, "since I saw you first, I am going to recruit you...Aa-umm, ahem, at least, I will try to recruit you."
"Anyway, let me continue to where I left, first," Dreevindo revealed a sagely expression as he started speaking, "After evagon-realm comes chaos king realm. After that, chaos lord realm, chaos saint realm, chaos monarch realm, chaos paragon realm, chaos sovereign realm, and chaos supreme realm. However, my strength is above of even chaos supreme realm, hehehe."
"Nyaa!!! But I am above you, and my master is above me! YOU GET IT?" Primo loudly shouted.
"I get it, I get it, you stupid cat! Sigh...Now please, let's get onto the real business!" said Dreevindo while sighing.
"Listen, I will make it short and simple for you to understand the realms above Evagon and then give you an option. You can accept it or not; it's your choice," Dreevindo said as he looked at Athan.
Athan nodded as he felt that the situation became interesting. He never expected to meet such a powerful being.
"First, in Evagon-realm, you basically enhance your domain to the limit and, in the end, merge them to make your own chaotic dimension. To do that, you need to comprehend a particular order, which is about forming the chaotic dimension. This requires a powerful soul and comprehension. Once you finish forming that chaotic dimension, you can break through to chaos king realm."
"I know how about Evagon realm and what to do in it to trigger the breakthrough," Athan said as he nodded.
"Alright, the next realms are pretty straightforward. Must you be surprised by their names as well, right? Because they are like positions, hehehe." Dreevindo said while grinning.
Athan nodded in agreement. After Evagon-realm, the names became like statues: King, Lord, Saint, Monarch, Paragon, Sovereign, and Supreme.
"In upper-chaosverse, you will not find any chaos method scrolls. Nope! This is real chaosverse, and everything is chaotic here. Each person has to find their own way to get strong after reaching the chaos king realm. So even getting stronger is chaotic," Dreevindo said with a smile.
"Then what are the realms for?" Athan asked with doubt.
"Eh, It's actually like this. Once you have 10,000 Order marks. Wait, I have to start before that. Ahem...actually, after you reach chaos king realm, you gotta start comprehending true chaotic powers. These true chaotic powers have order marks that you must comprehend to control and master the respective chaotic powers."
"You must roam in various chaotic dimensions to search for resources, treasures, experience the chaotic phenomenons that will aid you in your path or help you create order abilities.
"You don't know how unique the treasures and such things are of chaos king-grade and onward since you are currently in this dimension, which only has Evagon-grade treasures. Anyway, that aside. Once you have 10,000 Order marks, you will become Chaos Lord. One hundred thousand order marks, and you will become Chaos Saint. One million order marks, and you will become a chaos monarch."
"However, there is a bit of change after that, and you will know that eventually. The main thing to focus on will your order ability. There will be no more order techniques in the chaos king realm and further; instead, there will be order abilities. You will know all of these eventually. So, for now, I will tell you about my main business here: the recruiting thing."
After saying that, Dreevindo took out a brush, "since you walked on the path of Runic Artist, I will give you my token in this brush's shape. There is a little function to this brush as well; it will lead to you the chaotic phenomenons that will aid you to progress in your runic artist path."
Athan took the brush and was surprised at its profoundness before he put it inside his void region and looked back at Dreevindo, "what is all this recruit thing about?"
"Hehe, there is a bit of politics at the very top, and I want to recruit you as my candidate. Ahem, I am actually taking a risk because I can only recruit two people. Other Orchos Celestials can also pick two, and many of them had managed to recruit powerful chaos supreme beings. Still, I am recruiting you and have yet to decide who to pick as the second. Ok, bye. That's all for now. I will come again later for your answer."
*poof!*
"Nyaaa! That bastard just disappeared without telling us the whole thing!"
Athan nodded as a grin formed on his face while his eyes showed excitement, "I don't know why but I feel that the journey ahead is going to be extremely exciting."
"Nyaa! That's for sure! After all, master is going to rule 'em all!" Primo danced with excitement.
"Alright, Primo. You look around from here while I finish my chaos matrix training. My initial plan is still the same: leaving after gathering 1000 Evagon-grade treasure for our initial start-up of the organization and then...conquer a chaotic island-bubble."
...
While Athan was training, Shubargu was collecting resource treasures for Athan.
On the other hand, Tiana, Avelia, and others were making pretty money by completing challenges at the Evagon-challenger zone in this large trading post plaza.
Chapter 628 - Power Up
'Hmmm, since he touched that brush, he is masked from other Orchos Celestials...for now because these guys are rather strange, and I don't know if they will unmask themselves. That cat definitely sensed the barrier mask, but I hope it is smart enough not to remove it,' Dreevindo thought as he returned to his Cosmic Orchos Palace.
"Yo Dreevindo! Did you go out just now?"
Dreevindo looked at the stick-slim human in front of him and said with a snort, "I went to water my flowers at Hurbillin Cosmic Garden. Anyway, why are you here?"
"Hahaha, I just wanted to inform you that I finally managed to recruit a rather strange being after trying for many years. You know, I have rather high hopes for her."
"Oh? Who is that being? Since you have high hopes, then does that mean she managed to establish Cynrailic Orchos Genome?" Dreevindo asked with a curious expression.
"Nope, she is not even chaos Supreme being yet, so she can't do those things. But hehehe, she is rather talented and...got some cool powers," the stick-slim human said before he waved his hand and conjured a hologram-like image.
"This is her."
The image was of a beautiful young girl with blue-black hair. She wore a gorgeous long-sleeved dress, and her eyes were dark blue with light brown iris and a tiny lotus-like symbol in them.
If Athan saw her right now, he would instantly recognize her because...
She was none other than...Lily!
...
"Master, that shorty has put a strange kind of barrier around you. From what I can sense, it is masking your presence from certain types of powers," Primo said as he sat on Athan's shoulder.
"Hmmm...I indeed felt something when I touched the brush, which should be how I got this strange barrier masking my presence. Anyway, I don't want to get distracted by beings like him so let's keep this mask. There's no need to remove it," Athan said after thinking for a bit.
...
Afterward, Athan continued the training of his chaos matrix as he also added Shaliot chaotic power to it and added another Chaotic Body Transformation under his belt: Shaliot Chaotic Body.
He then added Myrcist Chaos Power in the matrix and did the same as he gained Myrcist Chaotic Body as well.
After doing that, Athan flew towards Shubargu since he could track him using his voidling-zoids.
Athan didn't hurry there as he collected natural resource treasure on the way.
...
Day 10 since Athan entered the force-treasure dimension.
Today, he caught up to Shubargu and also collected 124 Evagon-grade resources on the way. He gained these many because he decided to go all out and summoned 500 voidling zoids and he also looted every person on the way.
Currently, Shubargu was just ten kilometers away from him and seemed to be fighting against a horde of powerful beast company. The voidlings around him had dwindled to 32 voidlings from the initial 100.
"Well, he should be able to handle this so I don't need to hurry," Athan muttered as he was observing the large-scale battle through the eyes of the voidlings there while leisurely flying on his cloud of chaos.
Suddenly, he sensed four people two kilometers to his north-west and flew towards them with his army of 500 voidlings.
"Life or resource treasures? Choose in three seconds," Athan spoke indifferently while looking at four people. Three of them had a unique humanoid + beastly appearance, while the fourth one looked human without any additional beastly features.
The four people almost pissed themselves sensing the overwhelming aura from Athan as well as the five hundred voidlings behind him.
They hurriedly took out their resource treasures that came in different forms like plants, flowers, fruits, stone slabs, etc., and asked fearfully, "c-can we leave now?"
Athan waved his hand as he put all of the treasures inside his void region before saying in a cold tone, "you never met me and I never met you. I also didn't ask for your treasures. Understood?"
"U-understood, understood,"
"Good kids," Athan nodded with a smile as he left.
Seeing him leaving, the four people looked at each other and sighed a huge relief.
"Who the hell is that? Shubargu was already terrorizing enough, but this new person is several levels above him."
"Gieh, you have a better power sensor than us. Did you see what his battle power was?"
"Uhh....nope. My power sensor's limit is 2 million, but it didn't display anything, saying unable to measure."
'What the hell? How can an Evagon-realm being possess two million-plus battle power? Fuck! He is definitely cheating and is a chaos king who had disguised himself. Let's report this to the council outside!' the human said telepathically to his three companions.
'We can do that but he had a mask so we don't know his real appearance. By chance he removed his mask and changed his get-up, we won't be able to recognize him.'
'We'll think about that later! First, let's report this to the council.'
...
After a few minutes, Athan got another natural treasure from a giant tree occupied but two median-stage Evagon-grade beasts. After another minute, he arrived at the location where Shubargu was fighting.
Shubargu also sensed overwhelming force behind him and was shocked, 'W-what the fuck? He still has so many of these strange creatures he calls voidlings?'
After Athan arrived there, he commanded all of his voidlings to attack while he went for the main boss that was giving Shubargu a bit of trouble as well.
Athan dashed towards the giant winged frog with two heads. It had a solid scaly outer layer and also had essence chaotic power swirling around it.
This peak-stage Evagon-grade beast was definitely on the verge of breaking through to become a king-grade chaos beast.
Athan activated his Body order evagon-domain while activating his new chaotic body mode: Hybrid Chaos.
His legs turned into Myrcist chaotic power energy body, his chest turned into Shaliot chaotic power energy body, while his hands turned into Aarang chaotic power energy body.
His cloak and Armament-solid armor form retained themselves even after Athan changed his body structure.
Seeing the power exuding from Athan's body, Shubargu was dumbfounded, 'What's going on? How come he changed his body into a chaotic power structure? H-how is that possible?'
*BOOOOOOM...*
Athan first kicked the using his body order technique, Hyper Bolean Kick, which released a chaotic whirlwind filled with shredding effects and other defense-breaking effects. Additionally, since his legs were that of Myrcist chaotic power, Athan consumed some chaos force when executing the attack, which produced ten crystals inside the whirlwind.
After the Hyper Bolean Kick's whirlwind hit the giant frog, the crystals surrounded the frog and displayed their effects.
Seeing this, Shubargu was once again dumbfounded.
*Swoooooosh....*
After releasing his kick-type order technique, Athan turned his entire body into Aarang chaotic power and dashed towards the frog's head with his full speed as he exploded with all of his powers.
The ten crystals didn't hinder the giant winged frog that much, but in that short time frame, Athan smacked himself in the head of the frog with his full power and...blasted it.
*BOOOOOM...*
The frog's head exploded, and after that, his body disintegrated as well.
Chapter 629 - Happenings.
Shubargu looked at Athan to sense his battle power but failed, which confused him, 'previously, I saw that his battle power was 1.8 million. However, it should be higher because his body aura is on a whole different level than when I met him the first time. Still, his overall power shouldn't have gone above 5 million, which is the limit of my power sensor. Hmmm, then why I can't sense his battle power?'
At this time, Athan turned to Shubargu.
"Check it now," said Athan as he looked at Shubargu with a faint smile, "you got a high-quality power sensor, right? You should be able to measure my battle power now since I removed my obscure veil."
The obscure veil is his void robe's ability that prevents anyone from prying into him and not letting any aura spill out from within his void region.
Athan didn't name it before and just called it an effect of his void robe, but recently, he named this ability, Obscure Veil.
Shubargu looked again and spoke after gulping, "Power sensor is displaying 2.1 million battle power. 1.3 million soul power, 385k body power, and 315k essence power."
"I see," Athan nodded before he grinned, "how many treasures you gathered?"
Hearing that, Shubargu hurriedly took out a storage ring and passed it to Athan.
Athan looked at the storage and inspected it before he nodded, "good but not your work is not done yet. The target is one thousand, and so far, I got a total of 448 natural treasures."
"Y-you shouldn't cause too much ruckus. The council will know about you pretty soon and...I don't know what will happen after that," Shubargu said with some hesitation.
Athan narrowed his eyes before he grinned, "how many resource treasures do I have?"
"You have Fou-"
"Three," said Athan as his expression turned deadpan, and he asked again, "how many?"
Shubargu gulped before he spoke fearfully, "T-three."
"Good. Now go with these five hundred voidlings and increase the speed of gathering resources," Athan said as his expression returned to the faint smile.
He waved his hand, and the voidlings went towards Shubargu and...surrounded him.
Shubargu wanted to cry out loud because of his...tight situation, 'why this demon have to target me of all people? Fuck me and my bad luck.'
...
After Shubargu left, Athan descended and sat down crossed-legged under a large tree.
"Nyaa! You can't hold back anymore, master?" Primo asked with a happy smile.
"Well, the sooner I finish it, the better," said Athan with a faint smile as he closed his eyes and entered deep meditation.
After a few seconds, black and white aura oozed out of him and slowly started covering him.
In a minute, A cocoon formed around him with eccentric black, white, and light grey patterns.
Primo sat down on the cocoon like a loyal guard, and licked its paws," Nyaa! Master should reach 10% in his progress of AVOF after coming out of the cocoon. Hmmm, this might bring qualitative transformation to his void region."
Primo fell into thought and started murmuring," Should I bring 20% of my power here or call another voidling's avatar here like me with 1% of our power? Oh wait, after the transformation, I can get 10% of my power and call another voidling with 10% of its power as well. Mhmm, this is a good idea."
...
While Athan was inside the force-treasure dimension, Linci received a mysterious guest again.
She had been seeing this rose-crystal lady every few months.
At this time, Linci was in the peace dimension, meditating while her mother was beside her, preparing food for her.
However, there was another being beside Linci. This being looked strange as she had a strange crystal body and looked like a female. She had colorful crystal petals, primarily red, blue, and purple, on her body. Her dress was also the same colors, and there was also a crown on her head with red, blue, and purple gems.
"Little lady, did you make your decision yet? This opportunity won't come by so often," said Roserin, one of the major Orchos Celestials.
Linci shook her head and transmitted her sound to Roserin, 'I told you that I will make my decision after consulting this with someone.'
The strange thing was that Linci's mother couldn't see Roserin. Naturally, she also couldn't hear the word spoken by Roserin out loud.
"Who is that someone?" Roserin said with a sigh. She always got the same answer despite telling Linci the benefits of becoming her candidate and how she would progress faster.
Linci smiled sweetly before saying, "he is very special to me. That's all you need to know."
"What is his name? I already told you that I couldn't find him just based on his name, so there's no need to be cautious of me. I won't do anything to him even if I find him," Roserin said with some speechlessness because Linci had never told her the name of that someone special.
"Nope," Linci adamantly denied.
"Eh? What nope, Linci?" Elena turned to Linci after hearing her sudden outburst.
Linci wryly smiled and shook her head, "nothing. I was just thinking something and said it out loud."
"Alright. Anyway, your father will also come here today so...Umm, if you can then try to speak with him. Of course, only if you want to," Elena said with a smile before she focused back on the cooking.
...
"Woohoo...I got a lottery! So many talented individuals gathered at one place, hehehe. However, even though I already created a masking barrier around all of them, I can only take two as my candidates, and I already have a chaos supreme powerhouse as my candidate."
At this moment, a Joker-like figure was floating on top of Tiana, Drizzly, Avelia, and others as they sat across a large table and were eating food. Dean Lenix and Head Zangrel were the ones who brought them here after they finished all challenges available for Evagon-realm beings.
The joker had a fat belly, tiny legs, and had a red-tomato nose.. He also wore a two curvy cap and had a colorful scepter in his right hand.
Chapter 630 - Yok And Dreevindo
The joker-like being was looking at Tiana and others as he fell into thought. After a moment, he muttered, "Hmmm. First, I will select the best one out of them and then sell this information to some other Orchos Celestials. Anyway, since I have masked them, others won't be able to sense them," said the Joker before he started laughing.
"I really need to thank that shorty. If I didn't keep a close eye on him and found his trace here with my specialty, I wouldn't have stumbled upon these individuals—Hehehe, who would've thought that I would find such a bunch in this corner?"
Suddenly, the joker-like being made a 'ops' sound and disappeared before he arrived at the very top of this large plaza suspended in the chaotic space.
"You bastard, Yok! You will not take advantage of me!" Dreevindo appeared beside Yok, the joker-like being, and shouted angrily.
Yok displayed a boring expression and started picking his ears," how boring. Stop showing false bravado, shorty. You knew I was tracking you but did nothing about it. You led me here on purpose. Anyway, don't spill out your presence and tell others that we are here."
Dreevindo's angry face turned into a grinning one as he smacked the belly of Yok, which caused Yok to shoot far away, faster than the speed of light. Dreevindo also disappeared after that.
...
On a certain location filled with purple and black frost mountains, Yok and Dreevindo appeared on top of a small mountain.
"Did you try to recruit any one of them yet? If so, did that person join you or reject you after seeing your nasty short ass?" Yok said while grinning.
Dreevindo displayed a proud expression on his face as he spoke, "I am already trying to recruit someone and....he is the best one out of those bunch. You didn't see him because I masked his presence before you arrived there by tracing me."
"Damn! So you picked the best one already? How better he is than the rest?" Yok asked enviously.
"Way, way, way better, hahaha," Dreevindo spoke while grinning from ears to ears.
"Sigh. Alright, alright. Now tell me, why did you let me trace you and lead me there? What is your purpose?" Yok spoke while narrowing his beady eyes with a black border around them.
"You should have already guessed my intention, but I'll state it anyway," said Dreevindo with a faint smile, "we...should co-operate when the festival starts. I have already given you a present for our happy co-operation."
Yok started fiddling with his finger and scepter as he spoke unhurriedly, "Rexie also asked me to co-operate, you know? I think...I would have a better chance with her given our compatibility."
"Oh? Well, fine then. Goodbye," said Dreevindo with a grin and turned around as he created a portal door in front of him and started walking towards it.
"Wait, wait, wait! Yok hurridly blocked Dreevindo's path while curing internally, 'damn shorty, making me anxious like that. Why is he so carefree like that? What is his trump card?'
"Hmm? What's the matter? You should co-operate with Rexie, you know? As you said, you both have better compatibility," Dreevindo said while raising his eyebrows.
"Don't be too hard. Humph, I already found those talented individuals and can tell others about them," Yok said with a snort.
"Feel free," Dreevindo said as he nonchalantly waved his hand, "anyway, none of them will join you without asking their leader, and...you don't know about this leader, but I do. Yep, yep, yep, you guessed it right. The one I am trying to recruit is their leader. I observed that bunch since they arrived in the upper-chaosverse because, fortunately, I was searching in that area and noticed them.
"At first, I observed them without much importance after they entered that force-treasure dimension, but I was surprised by the power they displayed despite being early-stage Evagon-realm beings, especially their soul power. However, their leader..." Dreevindo spoke as he shook his head with a wry smile.
"Their leader what? Is he that amazing?" Yok asked as he was burning with curiosity.
"Yep, he is a monster and keeps another monster by his side. I can't believe that they noticed me when I tried to focus on them. You know what? If that person becomes my candidate, then...hehehe, I think my winning chances will increase by many folds," Dreevindo said while grinning.
Yok turned silent as he fell into thought, 'the shorty certainly isn't farting from the mouth judging by his confidence. Did he really find such an amazing person? Wait...'
"You said that their leader was also in that dimension...so that means he is also Evagon-realm being? What the hell? An Evagon-realm being managed to discover you?" asked Yok with a doubtful expression.
"Eh...actually, that person managed to faintly feel that he was being observed, but the monster he keeps by his side clearly discovered me," Dreevindo said while nodding.
"Who is that monster? How does it look like?" Yok asked as he narrowed his eyes.
Dreevindo narrowed his eyes back and said with a grin, "I will not tell you that. Anyway, that monster seems to be serving that person and listens to everything he says.
"Fine, fine. Let's co-operate. I really want a talented candidate from that bunch," Yok said with a weak smile.
"Good, good, good," said Dreevindo as he patted Yok's fat belly, "you bastard, did you eat another Cosmic supreme beast? No wonder I felt your aura weaker than I met you a hundred years ago. How were you punished? tell me, tell me."
Yok snorted as he turned away to keep Dreevindo's hands from touching his belly, "I was lightly punished because I didn't kill it completely before eating it. I created another chaotic life egg and put a part of its soul in it. Now stop pestering me because I want to observe that bunch and pick the best one out of them."
After saying that, Yok left.
Chapter 631 - Unintentional Destruction.
Because of pressure, Shubargu moved with godspeed and hurridly started collecting and stealing treasures.
Things were getting out of hand. Many people were aware of Shubargu's strength, but they didn't know how he got that large army of strange beasts around him.
...
"Sir, there is a person inside who is higher than Evagon-realm but managed to enter inside with some means. He-"
"Shut up! The portal gate can detect if the person is in Evagon-realm or higher! Before you, six people came and reported the same thing. He wore a mask and had an army of strange beasts by his side, right?" one of the enforcers of the council said with an angry expression.
"B-but...he was so much more powerful than any Evagon-realm we met! My friend here has a power sensor of 2 million battle power, but he couldn't measure that person's battle power."
"Hmm? Are you sure that his battle power was higher than 2 million?" said the enforcer while narrowing his eyes.
"W-we are not sure, but my power sensor has a 2 million limit, and it still displayed 'unable to measure' when I tried to scan his battle power."
The enforcer fell into thought before he clicked his lizardly tongue, "fine, you all can return now. I am going to send a team to investigate inside. You see that board?" the enforcer pointed at a large whiteboard before he continued, "draw his appearance on that board."
...
Ten more days passed, and Tiana and others were still roaming everywhere in the large country-like trading post.
"It's been almost a month; when will Athan return?" Sen asked as he rested her head on the table with a sigh.
"Well, he said his goal was 1000, so...it might take some time. However, he should be returning soon because he can always use his army of voidlings to speed up his work," Shiromi said with a smile.
"Yeah," Tiana nodded.
"Hello, ladies and gentlemen."
Suddenly, everyone was shocked to see a Joker-like being appearing on top of the large table they sat at.
Dean Lenix and Head Zangrel were also shocked because they couldn't sense his presence. But they and all others felt that this... funny-looking being was extremely unfathomable.
"My name is Yok, and I have been observing you for a while now. However, you all didn't display much of your capability and roamed around having fun. So, hehehe, accompany joker for a little test. Don't worry; I will reward you for taking your time, so...Let's go!"
*Poof...*
Suddenly, Tiana, Drizzly, Avelia, and all others disappeared, including Dean Lenix and Head Zangrel.
The nearby people were surprised.
"Hey, I am pretty sure that a large group was sitting at that large table, but...they suddenly disappeared."
"Yeah, I didn't sense anyone powerful there but guess a master was hidden among them. Must be a chaos saint if he managed to teleport like that."
"Indeed."
...
"Sir, we didn't find the person according to this appearance but...we found a strange thing there. We found a strange cocoon."
"A cocoon?" the enforcer asked the investigation team leader.
"Yes, sir. That cocoon smelled really dangerous, so we didn't dare to get close to it."
"We have removed all chaos king-level things and beasts from that force-treasure dimension, but you all still felt afraid of that cocoon while being peak chaos kings?" the enforcer narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Yes, sir. Something is very strange with that cocoon," said the investigation team leader with a weak smile.
"Lead me there," the enforcer said as he felt the need to see that personally.
...
After half an hour, the enforcer and the other four people of the investigation team arrived at the location and saw a strange cocoon with eccentric black, white, and light grey patterns on the ground under a tree.
Light grey mist was swirling around the cocoon, and one could see a waterdrop-shaped symbol on the cocoon, with black and white chasing each other inside that waterdrop-shaped symbol.
"Strange...I am also feeling fear. T-this...did you all try to extend your soul sense towards that cocoon?" the enforcer was shocked before he asked the investigation team.
"No, sir. We didn't dare to extend our soul sense there. We got a clear life-threatening feeling when our soul senses were halfway towards that cocoon," said the investigation team leader.
*crack....*
Suddenly, they heard a slight crack and involuntarily trembled.
A dark and white aura spilled out of that crack, and right after that, the space around the cocoon started to become unstable.
*crack...*
*CRACKKKKKKKK...*
The first crack was of the cocoon, but the second crack made the enforcer and the other four almost piss their pants.
"Leave! Leave! Tell everyone to leave! FAST!" the enforcer shouted before he hurriedly left, 'I have to use the large-scale announcement device fast.'
The investigation team also left because they also saw what had just happened.
The foundation of this fucking force-treasure dimension got...crumbled into pieces.
"Hurry up! It's just a matter of time before this dimension is destroyed! FUCK!"
The entire dimension trembled! Chaotic mountains, rivers, jungles, etc., started to crack and break.
"Nyaa!" Primo had jumped off the cocoon after hearing the first crack.
After a minute, the cocoon cracked more and more before it entirely crumbled and revealed a naked Athan.
However, Athan waved his hand as his void robe, and void mask appeared on his body.
"Hmmm? What's going on?" Athan was surprised at this destructive sight around him.
"Nyahaha, master. This dimension is being destroyed since its core crumbled," Primo laughed and said.
"Because of me?" Athan asked with a wry smile.
"Well, yeah. The abyssal darkness spilled out from the cocoon bore immense pressure around here and cracked it, but the core of this dimension had auto-recovery, so it tried to recover the damage and fix the space. However, preciously because of that, the core was overwhelmed by the abyssal darkness and crumbled into pieces. Now with the core to support the function and foundation of this dimension, it's getting destroyed."
Hearing that, Athan was speechless, "well, that spilled out abyssal darkness was not in my control since I was still not awake at that time. Otherwise, It wouldn't have damaged the space around here."
But Primo snorted hearing that and blamed the core.
"Nyah! The core was stupid.. If it didn't try to recover the space instantly, I could just take abyssal darkness before it damaged more space around here."
Chapter 632 - Out
"Well, let's grab Shubargu and take treasures from him before this whole dimension completely collapse," Athan said as he hurridly detected Shubargu's location through the voidlings around him and conjured his cloud of chaos before speeding away in a direction.
...
Shubargu was shocked at the destruction around him as well, 'what the hell is going on? Why is everything collapsing?'
*swooooooooooosh....*
"Yo, how many treasures have you collected?"
Shubargu saw Athan standing on a golden-red cloud and smiled weakly, "this dimension is collapsing, and you are worried about the resources? How do we get out?"
"Don't overreact and hand over the resources," Athan said carefreely as if the destruction in the surroundings didn't concern him.
Shubargu sighed and took out a storage ring before giving it to Athan.
Athan emptied the storage ring in his void region before returning it to Shubargu, "hop on the cloud, we are getting out. The exit is far, but my cloud is very fast."
"You'll take me there?" Shubargu was stunned but became happy as well. He hurriedly jumped on the large cloud.
*swooooooooooooooosh...*
Athan sped up towards the exit, and on the way, a loud voice reverberated everywhere, telling everyone to leave.
However, there was no need for that voice's reminder because everyone was rushing towards the exit after seeing the destruction around them.
Shubargu was praying internally not to get discovered that Athan had more than 1000 resource treasures. However, he sighed a huge relief when no alarms rang after passing through the portal gate.
After coming out, Athan looked at Shubargu and gave him ten voidling-zoids, "this is your reward for the work you've done. You already know how to use them."
After saying that, Athan let Shubargu leave while he contacted Tiana using the contact card.
However, a frown surfaced on his face when Tiana didn't pick up the call.
'What's going on?' amidst doubt and confusion, Athan contacted Avelia but failed. He then contacted everyone one by one, but none of them picked up the call.
After failing all contacts, Athan's face became extremely dark, 'something is wrong...'
"Master, they...I can't find them," Primo said with a sad expression. But suddenly, his expression lit up, "wait, since master's got qualitative transformation after getting 10% understanding of AVOF, your void region can hold 20% of my strength."
"20%?" Athan was shocked, "that's a big difference. Hmmm, but it's understandable. My void region finally transformed into a more solid dimension with a proper structure. Now it's a light grey space, but previously it was black."
"Yep, so I can bring 20% of my strength and still stay inside your void region without damaging it," Primo repeatedly nodded with excitement, "and my lapis lagoon is a mystical power of connection, cause, effect, and space matrix so I should be able to find out everyone with 20% of my power."
"Alright, how long will it take you to bring more of your power in your current avatar?" Athan asked.
Primo didn't answer but closed its eyes for two seconds and opened it again before smiling with its cat face, "done."
Athan also trembled a bit because he felt a slight pressure in his void region right when Primo opened his eyes. However, this pressure disappeared almost instantly, 'It should be because of the brief connection that Primo might have made with his original self.'
"Good, now start searching," Athan said to Primo with a solemn expression. If anyone dared to harm them, then even he didn't know what he would do.
"Stop, stop, stop! Geez, chill, relax, calm down. Your companions are safe and sound. Yo cat, no need to blow this up."
Dreevindo suddenly arrived and said while wiping the sweat from his face.
"Where are they?" Athan asked with a dark expression on his face.
"Eh, relax. They are currently in a test designed by another Orchos Celestial. You don't have to worry since we are not allowe- Ahem. Anyway, you don't need to worry. Even though they are taken for a test, they will come out after a month, with all of them probably reaching chaos king-realm.
"Chaos king realm in a month?" Athan was startled.
"Why are you shocked? You can do that as well. It's not that hard since you bunch have high comprehension. You just need to enhance your evagon-domains to the max, which is just a matter of having resources.
"Once your evagon-domain hits the limit of enhancement, you need to comprehend the order marks that will allow you to combine all mini-chaotic worlds into one, along with your evagon-domains, and turn them into a chaotic kingdom, thus entering chaos king realm. After that, your real journey will start.
"You already have a bunch of resources, while your companions won't have a shortage of any resources in that test. The difficult part is comprehending and grasping the chaos marks that will allow you to build the chaos kingdom. And since you bunch got high comprehension ability, it's easy-peasy lemon squeezy for you all," Dreevindo spoke with a grin.
"I want to see them first," Athan spoke with a frown.
"Fine, you can see them. Here you go," said Dreevindo as he waved him and showed a hologram live feed of Tiana, Avelia, Sen, Shiromi, Drizzly, and all others, including Dean Lenix and Head Zangrel. All of them were on different small islands and sat in meditation.
"They are currently inside an illusion created by Yok, who is an Orchos Celestial like me. This is the first part of the test. Anyway, the entire test will finish after a month, so no worries," Dreevindo said with a smile as he waved his hand to make the mystical hologram disappear.
After Dreevindo finished speaking, Primo disappeared from his sight, "where did the cat go?"
However, after two seconds, he saw the cat appearing on Athan's shoulder and started licking its claws, "Nyaa! No worries, master. Nothing will happen to them as long as this Primo is alive."
'What did this cat do? I couldn't sense anything. Geez, I knew something was wrong when I arrived here. This cat is clearly way stronger than twenty days ago. This kid...He seems to have changed as well after coming out of that strange cocoon. Just who....or what is he?'
