The Tale of the Void Emperor-Novel

Chapter 434: Power Spike, Wilderness Connect-2

Currently, Athan's eyes were red, and he was trembling intensely. His eyes balls were moving up-down-left-right rapidly, and blood was coming out from his eyes.

' What the hell is going? This kid won't die, right? ' Green Genie thought as he sweated while watching Athan.

Athan himself was trying his best to stablize himself. He could solve this trouble easily if he removed his soul connection to the thousands of voidlings but no...He didn't want to give up.

' I...have to do something. I have to grasp this...' Athan couldn't think straight, but he knew what to do.

' My body...the brain...It will not last long. '

Athan remembered the words of green Genie that he would be observing him and instantly created a thin film of abyssal darkness around him.

' Huh? Why did he cover himself in that black barrier? Hmm...Does he not want me to see his state? ' Green Genie thought after seeing Athan covering himself inside a small black barrier.

Inside the barrier, His body was convulsing due to his highly unstable brain, while his soul was glowing a bit due to something he was trying to do right now.

He was trying to grasp the connection. He doesn't know why, but seeing his consciousness splitting in thousands and his soul working at super high speed, he felt immense pressure, which caused him to sense the strange connection related to Abyssal Void of Fabrication.

' I-I....H-hav-e to prepare...'

A few seconds later...

*Splattt...*

Athan's head exploded, and his soul exited his body.

His soul, which looked exactly like him in appearance, was also trembling constantly like a TV not getting a signal.

Voidpulses released from his soul towards his headless body before creating a new head there.

After all, He knew about his body the best, so recreating it with voidpulse was not even an effort.

But he didn't go inside his body and stayed in soul form because he was very close to grasping something important.

...

An hour passed just like that when suddenly, The green Genie appeared in the sky with a terrifying face as he looked at the black barrier created by Athan.

' WHAT THE FUCK, WHAT THE FUCK, WHAT THE FUCK!! W-I HAVE TO....NO, BEFORE THAT, I- '

Suddenly, His terrified face turned into one of intense confusion, ' Was it my imagination? I definitely felt extreme danger a moment ago. It was like this dimension was going to get destroyed. But...that threat suddenly vanished? What's going on? '

Inside the black barrier...There was another barrier that Athan just created. This barrier was a mix of white and black.

Athan was still in his soul form as he made a motion of wiping sweat from his forehead, ' Phew...If I was a single moment late, Even I don't know what would've happened. '

' But...I am very close to grasping that strange feeling. ' Thinking of this, Athan continued doing what he was doing for the past thirty minutes.

' Hehehe...' A chuckle left his mouth( Soul's ), which formed a devilish grin as the soul glowed with black and white before...scattering into tiny pieces.

He literally shredded his soul into pieces and died. The scattering pieces of his soul wandered inside the black and white barrier, and at this current moment, Athan had technically died.

But...His will, his instinct were alive in those scattering pieces of his soul.

With the power of Abyssal Void of Darkness and his will and instinct on those pieces of his soul, They gathered together before becoming a complete soul.

And right after that, His soul started trembling as an unbelievable pain coursed throughout his soul.

Athan endured with pain silently, with his expression not changing a bit. But the exhaustion on the soul was immense.

After all, what Athan was doing right now was practically killing himself by scattering his soul, and...this feat was impossible for anyone else to do. No one would do something ridiculous like this to their own soul because it would be suicide.

But Athan had circumvented his death with the Abyssal Void of Fabrication and his own powerful will and instinct that he could " instinctively " control even after " dying ".

Naturally, there were risks. If someone attacked Athan's soul while he did that, then he would instantly die unless someone/something protected him from the attack.

If someone else destroyed his soul, he would die, but if he did that himself, he wouldn't die right away.

After stabilizing his soul, Athan once again scattered his soul to try to solidify the strange connection again.

...

Basically...

When green Genie felt the threat of destruction, It was the moment when Athan gathered his soul after scattering it many times and finally solidified the strange connection he felt due to his Abyssal Void of Fabrication.

When the strange connection was solidified, Athan had a magical feeling, and...a tiny mark appeared on his soul's forehead. The mark looked like a raindrop, but it was white with black patterns.

At that time, A tiny wisp of Abyssal Void of Fabrication that was unlike what Athan possessed produced from that mark. That tiny wisp was no threat to Athan, but it was to everything else, and Athan realized that. So, he instantly created the black and white barrier to isolate its effect from spreading destruction before merging that wisp inside his soul.

After that, the solidified connection disappeared instantly, and the mark on his forehead also vanished.

So right now, He once again tried to solidify the connection because he couldn't properly check it previously.

His scattered pieces of soul gathered together to be a complete soul, and once again, his soul silently cried after it formed with intense trembling.

' I...can endure this just like I've been doing. I will endure it so that I don't have to endure anything else. ' His will was indomitable as he stabilized his soul. But...he felt disappointment.

He felt disappointed as he couldn't sense the connection anymore, which means that he couldn't solidify it anymore to research it.

' Hmmm..I'll try later when I get an opportunity and sense that connection. But for now, I should absorb my gains properly. '

He then entered inside his naked body that was lying on the ground with a new head that was the same as previously.

His body was naked because after he left his own body in soul form, the void outfit and void mask vanished along with the void region too.

After all, That was all part of his soul.

After properly merging with his body once again, the void outfit and mask once again appeared as he stood up and stretched his body.

All he did previously and took risks benefitted him immensely. First, He had now mastered his splitting consciousness into thousands, and he could observe details and scenery through thousands of windows that were his Voidlings-Bee.

After all, He was scattering his soul and merging it together, which enabled him to do multi-tasking at another level.

Naturally, there was a limit, and it depended on his soul strength. For now, He could split his consciousness into simple forms 6000 times. So those 6000 split consciousness into those 6000 bees would observe everything through bees, which he could observe concurrently.

Athan resumed his connection with bees as he observed everything without feeling any kind of discomfort or annoyance.

' As for my soul...Let's see how much stronger it became after all of this work on it. '

Athan took out his Superficial Battle Power token before turning his soul into the second form ( the normal soul form ). He then tested his soul strength after creating the veil of golden spark and using a simple soul attack on it.

Athan looked at the token and smiled widely, ' It looks like the risk was worth it. '

24,670 Superficial Battle Power, Chaos Warrior.

" Time to continue with the event, Hahaha. " Athan removed the barriers around him as the green Genie saw Athan safe and sound with a calm but confident smile on his face.

' Just what the hell happened inside the barrier? '

Well, It's better for green Genie that he doesn't know what Athan did inside the barrier; otherwise, all of his common sense would be thrown out of his brain's window.

Athan noticed the green Genie, but he just nodded at him with a smile before moving towards the first location of the hidden monolith.

After arriving there, he carefully observed a moss wall on a boulder with his soul sense while moving towards it.

' Found the first one. '

Athan removed the moss and saw the monolith sticking into the boulder as he put his black card on the slot and scanned it.

After that, he moved in the southwest direction since he already found another monolith hidden behind a waterfall.

Green Genie was observing everything since this whole wilderness was he himself.

' Humph, It's time. I actually forgot about changing the climate after an hour due to the strange actions done by this kid. '

Suddenly, Athan felt many of his bees dying, and the place where he was standing suddenly had an earthquake as he fell down into a sudden ground hole forming below his feet.

' Athan, was it? Let's see how you overcome my traps, Gagagaga. '

But the next second, Blue Genie was tongue-tied as Athan levitated back onto the surface using his chaos matrix-Chaos Body-Lightning Dust.

' This is just the start, lad. '
