The Tale of the Void Emperor

Athan was started at the actions of Lily and soon heard her voice inside the Ark space, "Athan…You should be well aware of my feelings now. However, I will not make you uncomfortable after this. I know you have more important people in your life, like Tiana, Avelia, and others. But…

"I want you to know that you are most important to me, and I can do anything for you…anything."

…

Outside, Lily entered her blessed house and started training. She didn't pay attention inside Ark space after speaking because she didn't want to see Athan's expression or reaction.

On the other hand, Athan was turned silent, and his eyes displayed a bunch of emotions before finally, a sweet smile appeared on his face.

He remembered Tiana, Avelia, Sen. All of them had the same type of gazes as Lily when they looked at him. Eyes filled with unconditional love.

He was not dense and knew that he also couldn't bear to lose any of them. They have supported him in times of need, and they will support him through any trouble; he was sure of that.

After thinking for a moment, Athan decided to do something.

He first created a bubble using Voidpulse, a bubble that can contain a thought message. With Athan's current mind power and comprehension, he could easily create something like that using voidpulse, which can turn into anything with sufficient understanding.

After creating the bubble, he put a thought message inside the bubble and sent it outside the Ark space.

After doing that, Athan closed his eyes and focused on absorbing soul power, breaking his body's limit, and making it stronger by using the Unbound Vitality Spectrum Heart.

'Hmm…after absorbing ten or twenty of those souls, I should initiate the boost for everyone connected to me.'

On the other hand, the bubble floated around Lily, but she wasn't aware of it since she had entered deep meditation.

…

While Athan, Lily, Huarin, Mimi, and Dreevindo were training…Tiana, Avelia, and others had also finished their weapon designs and would soon get them so they could start training to make progress in the power inside them and cultivate it to a higher level.

Currently, they were all sitting and talking while waiting for the weapons to be completed.

Other voidlings were still far away and doing their own things, refusing to meet with Tiana and others before meeting their Master first.

Only Primo, Taezin, and The Book were with Tiana and others.

"Oo…Ooo…Master had finally finished the AVOF origin portions he had accumulated and baptized himself, " Taezin said with excitement.

"I was trying to contact him during that because while baptism is in the process, there is a solid connection between Master and this AVOF origin realm since this realm would constantly provide its power to Master during Baptism," Primo said before sighing.

"So? It didn't work?" Shiromi asked as she bit her lips.

"Nope. Master was also trying to contact me but failed," Primo said with a sad expression, "I am sure it's because of that person who brought all of you here."

"Any idea when will we be able to meet Athan?" Tiana asked with longing in her voice and eyes.

Everyone missed Athan, especially Tiana, Avelia, Sen, and Linci.

Shiromi missed Athan as well, and after separating from him for this long, she realized that she indeed had feelings for Athan. She also missed Samira and others who were in the lower-chaosverse.

"I really have to scold Athan if he takes too long," Drizzly said with a snort.

"Yes, please do, sister Drizzly," Avelia said with a smile, "You are like his elder sister, so that he wouldn't do anything to you. But he might spank us if we scold him."

"I can't wait for that spank…sigh," Sen said with a sigh.

"Hahaha…"

Everyone laughed hearing that.

"Ahem, according to what I grasped using my power and research. Once Master Athan reaches 75% in his understanding of the AVOF realm, this entire realm will merge in his void region, and we will be able to meet him," The Book said as its pages flipped.

"Really?" Tiana said with sparkling eyes, "what is Athan's current status in progress?"

"55%"

Hearing that, everyone was pleasantly surprised.

"However, It will likely take many years to reach that point according to what I speculated and calculated using Master's current speed. But no worries. You will not know how time passed once you start your training," The Book said.

"We have to get strong enough to support Emperor!" Arcued said with fire in his eyes.

Dean Lenix nodded with a somber expression, "whoever put us here is obviously a very powerful existence, and there should be more than one of such existence. The one who put us here doesn't seem to be Athan's enemy but wants him to progress fast for some reason."

"Indeed," Zorgia spoke as he nodded, "Athan was very powerful and is powerful. However, once he catches up to the origin of power, he will face enemies that are on par with him."

Everyone nodded.

"At that time, we can't allow ourselves to become his burden but must become his strength," Mike said with a serious expression, "I would rather die than put my brother in danger because of me."

The Book looked at everyone and spoke, "we voidlings are there for Master, and…you all naturally have higher potential than us because you can have multiple powers of us voidlings. First, you should master the current powers you have, and then we plan more later."

"Oi three idiots! The weapons are ready!"

A loud shout came from the other side of the mountain range.

"Nyahaha! Let's go, everyone! It's time to start training. Those doofuses are refusing to meet you right now, but I have a good plan such that they will have to meet you without any choice," Primo said with a grin.

…

Time passed as everyone focused on training and getting stronger.

After one and a half years, Athan absorbed 30 Everlasting Legendary souls' refined soul origin power and rapidly increased his soul power to a new height.

Currently, his soul power was the strongest in the entire Orchos Firmament. However, Athan felt that his soul still hadn't reached its limit.

But before absorbing more, he decided to initiate the boost to all void beings.

…

Right when Athan initiated the boost, where all void beings would get a huge soul boost from him, Lily, Mimi, Huarin, and Dreevindo opened their eyes and felt it.

Overwhelming and Pure soul power was directly entering their souls and growing them rapidly.

Lily opened her eyes with shock as she felt her soul rapidly getting stronger.

But after a second, she saw a bubble hovering around her, "What's that?"

She touched the bubble, and it instantly burst before she heard Athan's voice in her head.

After hearing Athan's words, Lily's body trembled.
