The Tale of the Void Emperor

Time passed as hours turned into days, days into months, and months into years...

Athan stayed true to his word as it's been ten years, but he was still in his cocoon form, trying to understand the Abyssal Void of Fabrication completely.

Seeing that, those six beings were also happy and were eagerly waiting for him to reach 100%.

Those Fear plane powerhouses wanted to meet Athan, but they didn't dare to disturb him.

...

Tiana and others were slightly agonized for not being able to soak in Athan's presence and couldn't help but wish Athan to take a break in the middle and spend time with them.

But they didn't approach him because they knew that Athan was doing this for their sake.

Life is unpredictable, and if another such danger fell on them that was outside of Athan's ability to handle, then it would be devastating. So, he wanted to reach the Apex before enjoying his life with others to the fullest.

Unlike some of those six beings who are bored, Athan will finally live the life he wanted after becoming the apex being.

Bearing this anticipation and excitement of finally living a free life without any danger, Athan was working hard.

...

After another five years, Athan finally reached 90% of AVOF. His soul became even more powerful, and a strange thing happened where his soul was infused with a huge amount of AVOF power.

When that happened, the other six beings felt a link and immediately understood that Athan reached 90% in AVOF.

"It's soon...hahaha," Reilei woke up from his slumber and laughed in excitement before going back into slumber again.

The other five powerhouses were holding events or doing minor interference in the Outrious expanse to pass their boredom.

Their desires were minuscule, so they sent their clones to lower worlds for fun and to complete others' desires to pass their boredom.

Staercia also created a clone, a clone of a human woman, and sent it to the place where Athan was born, the Earth.

Except for Lifa and Reilei, other beings were doing something similar by sending their clones to the lower world for enjoyment and such as they had been doing this for eons now.

...

"Please...let me go..please," the souls inside Athan's AVOF realm were begging for mercy while being eternally tortured.

Morax, Cronia, Rolaxin, that prince from Orchos Firmament, and some more souls were being tortured inside the AVOF realm.

They were punished even more brutally now that the entire AVOF had a section called Abyssal Purgatory in it.

It was a black-red pond with creepy white motes everywhere. The soul inside was broken down into tiny pieces before recovering perfectly.

The breaking down process lasted for a year as they would suffer the pain of them cutting into pieces without dying for a year before recovering again and going through the same process for a year again.

...

Life was currently sitting on her soft nature throne made of beautiful and lively flowers, vines, etc., on top of a giant tree's branch in the land of Outrious Origin.

"Should I do it? Or not? What if I failed to light up the symbol after doing it?" Lifa muttered in a dilemma.

She looked at the realm inside her body, which was full of life, filled with lively and beautiful ethereal animals.

Her power, Omni Life of Fantasia Animation, allows her to blow life into anything, even if it's a dead thing like a table, a rock, or such things. She can create living beings that she has seen with her power, and naturally, she can also suck the life from living beings.

Naturally, her realm of OLFA also had a will, like how Athan's AVOF realm has a mystical will that adheres to Athan's thoughts and makes changes due to his influence.

However, Lifa wanted to do something outrageous because of the weird feeling she was having.

She...wanted to kill the will of her OLFA realm.

Because she felt that her will was also included in the weird sense of uneasiness that she was sometimes having when thinking about lighting up all symbols.

After staying blank for a whole day in thought, Lifa's eyes became sharp as she decided to do it!

"Levias...," Lifa muttered as she looked at the vast world that was her realm and called out its will.

A beautiful maiden with a full-of-life aura wearing a cute but gorgeous dress appeared. She had long hairs of mixed stands between light blue and light green.

"Yes, Master?" Levias smiled gently and asked as her odd blue and green eyes sparked with gently light.

"Sorry," Lifa muttered as she waved her hand and burst out with her power to kill Levias.

"Ahhh!...W-what are you doing, Master?" Levias asked with confusion.

*Staachh!*

Suddenly, Lifa's hand was shot backward as the supernova of the blast she released towards Levias was nullified.

'T-this....what's going on?' shocked, Lifa didn't know what happened, 'how can she resist my power? Wait, no...she didn't exude any power but my power...t-this...what is going?'

"Master? What happened?" Levias arrived beside Lifa and hugged her, "if you are worried about something, then tell me, please. I will do my best to help you, Master."

"Levi...," Lifa muttered with some guilt in her eyes and smiled weakly, "sorry. It seems that I was not in the right mind."

She had been with Levias for eons; how can she think of killing her? This damn mind!

...

Time passed as Athan continued comprehending the AVOF.

Tiana and others waited for Athan as they missed him and wanted to finally live their lives peacefully with Athan once he was finished.

Those six beings also waited for Athan to reach 100% fast so they could finally light up those seven symbols in the land of Origin to find out the grand secrets.

Ten more years passed, as now Athan was at 96% of understanding.

Today, those Fear plane beings once again arrived to meet Athan after waiting for 25 years.

Naturally, they wanted to meet Athan but also wanted the so-called rewards. They didn't believe that a person of Athan's status, a mighty Nihility being, would go back on his words.
