The Tale of the Void Emperor-Novel

Athan didn't know what happened, but he could feel that Efyeed was alive and was probably at the AVOF realm.

'Nevermind. Efyeed can't help me much right now, so it's better that something good happens to it after going there,' Athan thought before he looked at Reigen and Limbus, who were in slumber.

They were still digesting, absorbing, and adapting to Athan's soul power and voidpulse boost that he gave them.

...

After four hours of waiting, Athan finally saw Dreevindo arriving in front of him.

Athan could feel power fluctuations around Dreevindo that he had never felt before and was curious.

"Ahem, the party is ready," Dreevindo said with a cough as he sat down at the table across Athan.

"Party?"

"Athan, do you have the confidence to survive amidst fifty-plus candidate-level powerhouses?" Dreevindo asked with a serious expression.

Athan turned silent before he grinned, "in my experience until now, the one thing I am certain of is that...fear rules powerful people. Especially...powerful people who are ambitious."

Athan leaned back on the chair as he continued, "since they have ambitions and dreams they want to complete, they fear death. When they have you all as guaranteed and guider of their dreams, they especially fear death even more."

"Hahaha," Athan laughed as he looked at Dreevindo and spoke, "you Orchos Celestials must have shown quite a lot of sweet dreams to those candidates, right?"

Dreevindo showed a speechless expression before he smiled wryly and nodded.

"Then it's simple, let's go to the party," Athan said as he stood up.

"Don't kill too many. Just kill enough to have your fill. After all, if this blows up more than expected, then my life at Orchos Firmament will become miserable," Dreevindo said as he stood up and opened a portal for Athan.

"Don't enter right now," Dreevindo stopped Athan from entering before he spoke with a serious expression, "For all other Orchos Celestials and candidates, I have removed you from my candidate position. You practically enemy of everyone right now."

Athan raised his eyebrow as he faintly understood the Dreevindo's plan, "so you created a butcher party to butcher me? But in fact, it's a party for me to slaughter them?"

"Hehe, yep," Dreevindo grinned as he showed his white teeth. However, he became severe the next second and spoke, "however, you have to be careful of a candidate. She goes by the name of Lily, and her title is Divine Aurora Lady."

"Oh?" Athan was surprised to see Dreevindo taking a candidate highly, "what's her deal?"

Dreevindo narrowed his eyes as he showed a far-looking expression as if recalling some things and spoke, "she is very mysterious, and just like you, her existence also supersedes normal beings here. However, although I can't feel your source of existence or power, the Divine Aurora Lady is definitely from Orchos Firmament and...from a rather powerful origin at that."

"She can disappear and appear at will, and we can't even sense her. As for her strength...," Dreevindo sighed as he continued, "you can negate all powers here while she can adapt to everything thrown at her. Just from pure physical body power, she is more powerful than you. As for her essence power and genome power, they are way more powerful than any candidates here! However, your black power is rather mysterious, so I don't know what will happen if you both clash."

"Interesting...," Athan muttered and nodded before saying, "tell me when do I need to enter the portal? After how much time will you finish your flowery speech at the party?"

Dreevindo smiled wryly before saying, "ten minutes."

"Fine," Athan nodded.

...

At the Grand Chaos City, the biggest city in the top layer of Chaosverse...

This city didn't have an owner as all shared it. If one has name owners, then they were all Orchos Celestials because they created this city.

In the largest hall of this city, many candidates were present with their Orchos Celestials.

They were sitting in their own type of chairs in this empty but heavenly-looking hall filled with only decorations and exquisite designs.

All candidates were in either group of 2 or more except.

However, one person was sitting alone in the corner with an excited but nervous expression on her face. There was a barrier around her as well, such that none could see her clearly, but everyone knew that she was the scary Divine Aurora Lady.

A slim man was standing behind her, outside of the barrier.

'Athan...That Orchos celestial candidate was Athan,' Lily thought with an eager expression.

Lucky came out from the Ark space and sat on Lily's shoulder before saying, "Meow~They are definitely talking about master. I believe it."

Lily nodded before her expression turned cold, "all these people want to kill him, heh? I will never let that happen."

"If only we could find him right now, we can directly go there. However, since that Orchos Celestial has already planned to trap him by calling him here, we will wait here and save him," Lily said with determination.

"Meow~~We shouldn't underestimate master! With the faint link we all have with master, we can feel that he is very powerful."

Lily nodded before she worriedly spoke, "he is indeed very powerful since he can kill these candidates easily. However...with so many of them here, won't it be rather difficult?"

At this moment, Dreevindo appeared in the all and attracted everyone's attention.

"Everyone! The tiger will be coming here soon," Dreevindo shouted.

"What tiger?" Celestial Sirius spoke with a snort, "with so many of us here; I want to see how he can escape from here alive."

"Is the barrier and all those formations ready?" Dreevindo asked.

Hearing him, many candidates and Orchos Celestial nodded.

"The moment he enters this hall, ten sealing formations will activate, and ten supreme-grade barriers will surround the formation zone. All those formations and barriers are also included with the amount of energy we are allowed to use here," Celestial Sirius spoke with a ruthless expression, "I want to see how he can escape this predicament."

Hearing that, Lily's palm sweated, but she was also ready, 'Athan....'
