The Tale of the Void Emperor

"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.
