The Tale of the Void Emperor

"Primo? Taezin?" Athan was pleasantly surprised.

Both of them came out of the void region and appeared outside in their miniature form.

Vinery and Rovin were surprised to see a monkey and a cat appearing out of nowhere.

"What happened? Why did you suddenly disappear, and I also couldn't contact you or make a solid connection with AVOF realm," Athan said with a frown.

"Oo...Oo...It's all because of that woman," Taezin said as he made some angry monkey sound.

"She isolated AVOF realm after taking Tiana and others' souls," Primo said angrily.

Athan was stunned before relief flashed in his eyes, "So they are all alive somehow, right? Nothing happened to them, right?"

Athan's voice contained anxiety as he wanted this confirmation.   

"They are fine...but not fine both," Primo said with some hesitation, "basically they are in that woman's hands, and she got some plans."

"Master...nothing is in our control right now," Taezin said with a serious expression as the monkey slammed his bo weapon on the ground, "master, you must get strong and spank that woman's ass."

Athan didn't show any obvious hostility towards that woman because he didn't want to take such risks. She was far more powerful than him and didn't know the extent of her power.

At this moment, the baby-butterfly also came out from the void region with a shy and excited expression, "Master."

Athan noticed this baby girl butterfly voidling that looked like a tiny demon with pink skin and horns with colorful butterfly wings, but since she didn't come out of the void region with Primo and Taezin, he left her alone to confirm some matters with Primo and Taezin.

"Hehe, I also met Master finally. Master, I named myself Pixilot. Is it good?" Pixilot said with a nervous expression. She hoped that Athan liked this name because she got it from Athan's own influential thoughts.

"Pixilot," Athan smiled and nodded, "It is indeed a good name and suitable to you."

"Yey!!" Pixilot cheered with an extremely happy expression before she became a bit embarrassed and spoke, "ahem. Anyway, I am here to help Master with my power, which is known as Bard of Myriad Dreams."

"Yes, Master. Pixilot's power can increase the training speed of Master," Primo said with a grin.

"Oh? That's good, Pixilot," Athan said with a smile, "I will be relying on you then."

"Hehe," Pixilot grinned ear to ear as she was extremely happy to hear that.

"Void Emperor, who are these three?" Vinery asked with a wry smile while thinking, 'damn...these three creatures have even more powerful auras than me. Don't tell me they are also in Anarchy plane?'

But she was happy nonetheless because the stronger Athan is, the better her chances of survival are. From what she knew, that Anarchy Lord Nixin will definitely want to kill Athan, and if he succeeded, he wouldn't spare her also. But with the addition of these three creatures, she felt that Athan could win against that Lord Nixin as long as he became slightly more powerful.

The one Athan fought previously was just Lord Nixin's avatar, and his full strength was way above that, so Athan needs to get stronger to defeat Nixin.

"We are Master's Voidlings! You better stay respectful to Master, or I will put this bo stick in your back hole and expand it," Taezin said with a snicker as the mischievous monkey looked at Vinery.

Vinery felt a chill running down her spine as she tightened her buttocks before smiling wryly, "I don't dare, I don't dare. We owe a huge favor to Void Emperor as he had opened our eyes and guided us to the right path by not trusting that bastard Nixin."

"Primo, Taezin, and Pixilot, you three stay inside the void region for now," Athan said.

"Roger, Master!" Primo said as he, Taezin, and Pixilot disappeared.

"Now, back to our main point," Athan said as he looked at Vinery, "first, I want to get back my companions. I can sense their locations, and they are a bit far away, not in this city."

Athan pointed at the general direction, which was northwest, "they are in this direction, but not in your city."

"They should be in the Yoloshi City then," Vinery said with a nod, "in that direction, the Yoloshi City is the closest to our city, and if some organization recruited them, they should be there."

"Then let's go, and you come with me," Athan said as he looked at Vinery and stood up, "On the way, I want to test some things."

Vinery hesitated for a moment before she stood up and nodded, "alright."

"Rovin, manage the palace and city until I come back. If something happens, then contact me," Vinery said to Rovin before leaving with Athan.

Both of them left the palace on a flying chariot that was Vinery's vehicle.

On the way, Athan thought, 'the method to make my body strong should be the same. I just need to get powerful vitality resources. Oh, and that heart is slowly but surely increasing my fundamental physical strength.'

"Do you know about that Vitality Spectrum Zone in Orchos Firmament?" Athan asked Vinery.

"Oh, that...yes," Vinery nodded with a smile, "That zone resulted from a Mystic-grade beast's death. The Unbound Vitality Spectrum Heart is a manifestation of its power that was related to Vitality."

"It should be able to increase your physical vital power to the same level as me...I mean, at the same level as Mystic-plane powerhouses eventually," Vinery said.

Athan nodded before saying, "if we encounter any of those Labyrinth you spoke about on the way, then stop there because I want to enter inside one."

"As you wish," Vinery said while thinking, 'Hmm, I knew he would enter inside one, but I can't let him enter inside Anarchy-grade Labyrinth. It's better if we encounter Mystic-grade one.'

...

While Athan was on the way, Lily, Mimi, Huarin, and Dreevindo were going under competition in their new organization.

Basically, it was a resource gathering competition in a Mythic-grade Labyrinth and then the battle of the top ten.

"I hope Athan is fine, sigh," Lily said with a worried expression, "He said if he got out of the trouble, then he would come to us since he can sense our location."

"Don't worry, sister Lily," Mimi said with a smile, "brother Athan will definitely come here. He may be on his way here."

"Indeed," Huarin and Dreevindo nodded.

"Knowing him, he should have already made some slaves as he did to us," Dreevindo said with a grin, "You also know that his strange powers are really strong. We are proof of it."

"Indeed. We got such a large boost that we resonated with powers quickly and even awakened our profound talent in one day, entering Anemon Mythical-stage," Huarin said with a smile, "if we got this strong, then Athan would be even stronger."
