The Tale of the Void Emperor-Novel

"Don't worry; I will go there as well. But before that, I want all of you to submit to me and work for my Void Empire. Once we have become stronger, we will leave from here. Hehe, who knows, you might want to come with me at that time," Athan said with a faint smile.

"And what makes you think you can make us submit to you?" said Lithen while narrowing his eyes. The reason why he kept his temper in check and didn't attack was that he couldn't see through Athan at all. Otherwise, he would have ordered everyone to attack the bunch of people in front of him and kill them.

"If someone way more powerful than you tell you to choose death or life, what would you choose? Simple answer, right? The same thing is happening here," Athan said with a smile, "If you don't want to die, then submit. I will not use you like slaves or anything but will use your resources, your knowledge, and everything else to make ourselves stronger."

"But are you someone way more powerful than us?" Lithen said indifferently, "Aside from you, everyone is a chaos lord."

Athan smiled and stood up from the chair before saying, "let's go out and find out how strong I am."

*Crack...BOOM...*

Athan directly flew up and broke the ceiling of the hall before going out and flying in the sky.

'Reigen, cover me,' Athan said to his chaotic spirit, which had finished absorbing his soul abilities as well.

A twin-headed long-neck dragoon materialized behind Athan before transforming into a solid draconic armor with two gauntlets of lapis blue and crimson red in Athan's hand.

Limbus was a unique chaos beast that only had a cloudly body, so it remained in wings-shaped form for Athan to aid him in flying along with an additional pair of draconic wings of Reigen.

Limbus and Reigen both were mutated by Primo's Lapis lagoon power and Athan's soul abilities.

On the other hand, Lithen gritted his teeth and flew out through the hole created by Athan, 'bastard broke my hall. However...it was made out of tough materials and a runic formation to reinforce its structure such that even chaos saints need to attack more than once to break it, but he...I didn't sense any order or chaos energy when he attacked...what the hell?'

Seeing Lithen coming out, Athan spoke with a grin, "come on, attack me with your full power."

"What?!" Lithen was startled along with everyone else who also came outside to watch the battle.

"Tiana...I don't want to see Athan getting mutilated, " Avelia said with a pained expression, "I know he won't feel any pain and recover faster too but...sigh."

Tiana shook her head and spoke proudly, "Avelia, It is our duty to watch him. We are his wives, and...we are not to avert our gaze from him, no matter the situation he lands himself into. After all, we are his everything."

Sen, Shiromi, Linci, and others looked at Tiana, who was looking lovingly at Athan.

Other people of Chaos Monolith Hills were also attracted. After all, it's not every day that they would see someone making a hole in the hall of the most prestigious Hill palace of Chaos Monolith Hills.

"You telling me to attack you with full power while you...just stand there undefended?" Lithen asked with a somber expression. He was already convinced that Athan was far more powerful than him just by hearing that statement.

"Indeed. I will not use any order energy or chaos energy," Athan said with a grin, 'Not that I can use them in the first place.'

"Alright," Lithen nodded as he expanded his saint-domain and took out a spear before pointing it at Athan.

Seeing it, Athan hurridly spoke, "stop! Wait for a second."

"What?" Lithen was confused.

Tiana and others were also confused.

However, Athan coughed with a wry smile while telling Reigen, 'Reigen, turn into your first form and stay with Tiana and others.'

The draconic full-body armor was removed from Athan before a two-headed lagoon dragon materialized beside Athan.

"Sorry, master, and thank you," Reigen bowed before flying towards Tiana.

"You too, Limbus," Athan said, "don't worry. I will use two of you when I want to go on full offense mode. But for now, stay put."

"Sorry, master," Limbus spoke after emitting its signature whistling sound. Then it turned into a cloud with sad crystal eyes and flew towards Tiana.

However, Athan didn't fall down because a golden cloud materialized below his feet.

"Uu...Uu...I got you, master," Taejin spoke with a grin.

"Thanks," Athan nodded with a smile towards Taejin before he turned to Lithen, "alright, you can start now."

Lithen nodded and pointed his spear at Athan again.

The spear gathered chaotic dark and green lightning around it before a burst of white with colorful sparks released from it like a supernova towards Athan.

"There it is! The famous order ability of master Lithen! Supernova Strike."

Someone spoke loudly.

Athan could easily dodge it because his body reactions were beastly right now. His brain could easily process the incoming speed, and he could move his body accordingly as well. However, he didn't move and took a simple stance with his right hand stretched backward and punched.

Athan did all that in a second as his punch hit the supernova strike.

*BOOOOOM....*

Athan was inside the saint domain of Lithen, but with that punch, the domain broke into pieces while the supernova strike was sliced from the middle.

Lithen was forced back several meters as the shockwave of Athan's punch reached him.

The chaotic power gathered around his spear was diffused like someone blew a candle flame and doused it. Lithen couldn't even use his most powerful attack about throwing the chaotic spear after the Supernova strike as he just floated there with a dumbfounded expression.

Even Athan was surprised as he didn't think that his normal physical punch contained that much power.

His clothes were shredded, but his void robe still remained, so he was not naked.

"You...T-that was only pure physical force?"

"Yep," Athan nodded with a grin, "that was not even my full strength, so...if you want to continue and have a taste of my real punch-"

"No....No need," Lithen repeatedly shook his head while sweating bullets.
