The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 411: Athan\'s situation, Shiormi\'s power.

" Athan...these are the rings we\'ve collected. "

Athan nodded as he took all of them before using his soul sense to check their contents.

\' After that fight, Only 15001 chaos stones remained. It looks like I\'ll need a lot of chaos stones if I want to continue fighting without worrying about running out of energy. \' Athan thought as he took all of the chaos stones from the rings and transported them into his void region.

It was really a close call when he confronted the last two people because he had almost run out of chaos stones. His current order force and chaos force are qualitatively better, so he needs to consume many chaos stones to recover them. Though it was different if he consumed mid-grade chaos stones, he didn\'t want to waste mid-grade chaos stones on simply recovering his energies.

After taking low-grade and mid-grade chaos stones from the rings, He gave those rings back to Arcued and Tealery, " If you find any useful things from these rings, then take them and make yourself stronger if even a bit. "

" This...."

Tealery and Arcued looked at each other before looking at Athan as they revealed some hesitation.

Athan frowned and shook his head, " I don\'t need them. If you want to be useful to me, then don\'t let go of any chance to get stronger. "

Hearing that, Arcued was the first one to turn resolute and even spoke to Tealery as they took the rings and started searching for the useful things in them.

Athan silently nodded before he looked at his own stash.

\' 874500 Low-grade chaos stones and 4060 mid-grade chaos stones...It looks like If push comes to shove, I\'ll have to use mid-grade chaos stones to recover energies to succeed in my plan. \'

Suddenly, Athan\'s face changed as he sat down crossed-legged.

Inside his void region, Catastrophic Codex was churning rapidly with sparks and an aura of black and dark pink.

Outside....On top of Athan, some cracks appeared in the space as black and dark pink chaotic power in the form of a lizard appeared.

The lizard had a black body with dark pink patterns. It opened its mouth and released its two thick pink tongues towards Athan to attack him.

Athan was still sitting with his eyes closed, but he had sensed danger and instantly used his chaos matrix to turn his body into Aegis Starwood chaos body.

A slight crack appeared on his body, but this attack\'s power was not as strong as the monsters he defeated.

Athan grabbed the tongue before opening his eyes and looked at the monstrous lizard made from chaotic power.

He snapped his finger with another hand as several explosion points appeared and blasted the lizard into sparks of black and pink.

Those black and pink sparks entered inside his void region before going towards the Orderic Codex.

Athan then infused those sparks with the small bean that had a small white vine coming out from it.

*crack...*

After the sparks were infused into the bean, A second small vine was produced from the bean.

" Athan! What happened? "

Tealery spoke as she arrived in front of Athan, and Arcued also followed with a bewildered expression, \' That was...a catastrophe, right? but....\'

" Nothing happened. I just experienced my second catastrophe. It was a bit powerful than the first one but not enough to damage me. ", Athan nonchalantly stated, and he stood up.

Tealery frowned slightly and spoke, " It\'s strange. I\'ve never heard of anyone experiencing their second catastrophe just after twenty days of their first catastrophe. It\'s said that the more excellent you are, the more catastrophe you have to experience. "

Athan nodded as he had heard this a long time ago, But he was not worried about catastrophe blocking his path. No matter how powerful catastrophes he has to experience, He will just destroy them.

But he had a slight doubt, so he asked, " What do you have in your Orderic Codex? "

Hearing the question, Tealery and Arcued were a bit confused, but they still replied, " Naturally, We have our Order Eidos within it. "

\' As expected...\' Athan thought and then looked at Arcued, " Come here for a moment; I want to check your Chaos region. "

Arcued walked towards Athan and kneeled without hesitation before bowing his head.

Athan was speechless, but he didn\'t say anything and put his hand on Arcued\'s head before entering his soul sense inside Arcued.

He saw that inside Arcued\'s chaos region; There were two codexes and a chaos curtain just like he had, but the Orderic Codex of Arcued was different than his Orderic Codex.

Arcued didn\'t have a bean inside his Orderic Codex but a white humanoid person who looked exactly like Arcued. There were some small patterns of order on this white humanoid person.

\' Indeed. This is the order eidos. While on the other hand, I have a frigging bean. It looks like I will have to pass many catastrophes to produce order eidos from the bean first. Those small vines from bean should create my order eidos as long as I continue to destroy the catastrophes that come to destroy me. \'

After assessing the situation, Athan left Arcued\'s chaos region and removed his hand on top of Arcued\'s head.

" Let\'s continue with our journey. There\'s nothing wrong with me except that I\'ll have to pass those catastrophes often. " Athan spoke while moving.

Arcued and Tealery nodded as they followed Athan while splitting up the loot from the ring.

...

Shiromi was currently hidden behind a tree as she looked at the strange hill.

Due to her soul physique, She could sense something peculiar about that hill.

But she also felt a slight danger, and that\'s why she was checking out the hill while hiding.

She closed her eyes as she used her soul power to form a white spirit bird with a part of her consciousness in it.

The white spirit bird flew towards the hill and searched the hill before finding a small hole that seems to lead deeper into the hill.

\' Strange...There\'s definitely something inside the hill. Could it be one of the hidden methods to earn points? \' Shiromi thought as she controlled the spirit bird to go inside the hole.

After a minute, Her expression changed slightly as her lips curled into a smile, \' As expected. \'

But suddenly, She saw three people coming at the hill and checking it out.

They seem to be speaking something, but Shiromi couldn\'t hear anything because they spoke inside the chaos force barrier.

\' It looks like one of them also found something peculiar about the hill. But...I can\'t let them have it. \' Shiromi thought as her eyes turned cold.

She thought about assassinating them by using her soul power and made a plan.

\' Purgatory soul demolition. \'

She had been practicing this soul order technique that only those who had passed their soul phase of orderic catastrophe can practice.

It cost her a fortune, and even Youhan Tree had to pay to get it, but their gamble paid off because even though Shiromi had not gone through her Soul catastrophe to make her soul stronger, She could still use this powerful soul order technique due to her unique soul physique.

There was a slight disadvantage since she would experience some mental pain, and her soul energy would be depleted by 80%...But it was worth it.
