The Tale of the Void Emperor

"The first Void Frame is perfected while the other two needs some more work into it..., Hmmm, I also need to create Void Arts suitable to each of the three void frame modes later," Athan muttered as he stood up for the first time in the four and a half years.

Although his internal body structure has completely changed, his outer appearance had only some little changes.

His height had increased a bit, his body was perfected to the extreme with fine muscles, and last but not least, there was a tiny ✧-shaped gemstone on his forehead.

The gemstone had tiny sparks of black, red, and white present inside that caused a whole new mystical look to appear on Athan.

'It looks like everyone is outside right now,' Athan thought as he spread his soul sense around but didn't find anyone.

"Anyway, it's time to do some testing," Athan muttered as he stretched his body a bit and formed a chopping motion with his right hand before...cutting off his left hand from the wrist.

However, blood didn't gush out uncontrollably, and instead, the tiny red tissues tendrils rapidly fixed the hand. The blood and tissues moved on their own rapidly re-attached themselves before his hand became how it was before.

"The normal recovery is working fast as expected."

Afterward, Athan cut off his right hand from the wrist again, but this time, he also entirely obliterated it using abyssal darkness. Naturally, his abyssal darkness wouldn't hurt him usually, but he can also make it injure himself if he wants it. This was in his control.

After his hand was obliterated, The Void Crux started working as it rapidly extracted some voidpulse, which spread through the Void Empowerments veins and recovered his obliterated hand in a second.

Athan could do this previously by using voidpulse himself, but now...the process was automatic. This recovery was now one of the jobs of his new organ, Void Crux.

Afterward, Athan went behind the mountain range and flew even further before stopping.

He currently had 4 Abyssal Blood Crystal produced and consumed two of them to activate his 1st Void Frame: Extremity Drifter.

Instantly, the gemstone on his forehead glowed, and for a brief moment of less than a second, Athan's body lit up with countless tiny tendrils that glowed with white, black, light blue, and red.

*Swooohs...*

His entire body's structure changed internally, his cells transformed, and two unique pairs of blinking wings appeared behind his back. These wings were obscure and blinking, with dreamy sparks of lapis blue, black and white.

These strange wings didn't have a solid shape, but...to put it into words, they looked digital. They were flapping while blinking rapidly from existing and non-existing. However, the power they contained was tremendous.

Athan created this Void Frame based on his Void cloak and came up with other things using voidpulse. It was finally completed, and its structure was imprinted in his body, and its activation was in his brain.

The gemstone on his forehead was that new organ, and from the brain, it spread to every single part of his body and merged with the cells through its countless tiny tendrils, which can transform his body structure to the respective Void Frame imprints that he had spent so much time constructing.

"Let's see...," Athan muttered as the wings flapped a bit irregularly than useless and...

*Blink!*

*BOOOOOOOOM....*

Athan disappeared from his location before appearing several kilometers away.

This was not all; This Void Frame didn't just provide wings but also transformed his body into a deadly weapon.

His body was already very strong right now because of the enhancement of two Abyssal Blood Crystals. However, Athan could take extremely fast actions with this current body structure.

Taking a deep breath, Athan took a normal karate stance before...

*BOOOOOM...*BOOOOOM...*BOOOOOM...*BOOOOOM...*BOOOOOM...*BOOOOOM...*BOOOOOM...* Krrrrrr...*

He threw a bit more than ten thousand punches at extremely fast speed in just two seconds, causing a slight distortion in space and producing weird sounds and unimaginable heat.

If Athan did this in a universe, the space would literally shatter. However, the space of this Ark of Exordium was powerful as it didn't even fracture a bit. But the space here still bent and distorted due to the powerful speed and force of the Athan's punches.

Not just his hands, but every part of his body could take any actions at an extremely fast speed.

...

After thirty minutes, the effect of two Abyssal Blood Crystal wore off, and his Void Frame: Extremity Drifter was deactivated as his body returned to normal state.

"Once I combine the power of this Void Frame with a powerful Void Art...," Athan spoke as a grin etched across his face.

"However, producing those Abyssal Blood Crystal is tolling on my body. I need to stock a lot of meat to recover my stamina and blood if I want to gather a stock of Abyssal Blood Crystals," Athan muttered before he left the ark space with thought and appeared outside.

"Aaaaaaaaaa!"

Athan was dumbfounded as he arrived in a room where Lily and Huarin were lying on their stomach on two different beds as two girls with cute furry ears who had strange, gentle flowing energy around their hands massaged their backs.

Hearing the scream of two massagers, Lily and Huarin raised their heads and saw Athan just two meters away from Lily's left side.

"Athan! Y-you...you finished your meditation?"

Lily and Huarin hurriedly covered their backs with energy as Lily asked with a slightly red face.

"Ahem...," Lily composed herself as she didn't mind Athan looking at her everything. However, Huarin was a bit embarrassed.

"Since you are here, why don't you experience their massages as well? Hehe, This is the best massage parlor in the entire Chaosverse," Lily said with a chuckle.

'Lily! Weren't you paying attention to Ark Space?' Huarin sound transmitted to Lily with a peevish voice.

'Tee-hee, sorry, sister Huarin. I really wasn't paying attention inside the Ark Space,' Lily replied back, 'how could I do that while enjoying such a good massage?'
