The Tale of the Void Emperor

" Mike, Everyone...I want to say something. "

Hearing the nervous voice of Qerin, Everyone looked at her.

Qerin's hands were balled in nervousness as she spoke, " Um..I-I actually recovered my memories when I fainted But...at that time, I was not ready to say anything because I...I am not from this world."

Hearing this, All of them were shocked, and Mike asked confusedly, " What do you mean by not from this world? "

Qerin nodded as she took a deep breath before saying, " I am from a higher world than universes, known as Chaosverse. Our clan was sneak attacked by two other clans in the Clear Lake region of the Chaosverse. Hence, my father had to open a dimensional portal to send me away hurriedly, but at the last moment, The dimension portal was attacked. My protective amulet was used up, and my Chaotic spirit died to save my life, and instead of the intended place, I arrived in this universe, exactly at the place where Mike found me first. "

Athan and others were even more shocked to hear about this information as they've never heard about Chaosverse. Athan thought of something and asked, " Could it be...The passage that is connected to all Legendary sectors leads to Chaosverse? "

Qerin shook her head and said, " I don't know. I was born in the Clear Lake region, and later I knew about other things like...my great-grandfather was from a universe, and he arrived at the Chaosverse with his strength and built a clan there. Other clans are the same. Their ancestors came to chaosverse and built a foothold there with their strength and created clans and organizations. "

At this time, Mike asked with nervousness, " So...do you have a way to leave this place and go to your world? Are you...."

Qerin interrupted Mike and said with a smile, " Don't worry, Mikey, I will always be together with you, and I am sure my father will accept us. " She paused for a bit as she said with determination, " Also, I do have a way to leave this place and go to the Clear Lake region...But I finally decided after thinking for a long time that we should work together and get stronger before meeting my family.

I wasn't that serious in practicing before, but from now on, I will not slack. I can tell you that the peak of power in the universes is starting line in Chaosverse, so we should reach the peak of power in this universe first. "

Hearing this, Athan thought that his guesses were right, ' Mimi and her parents are likely from this so-called Chaosverse...then where is the earth planet? Is it in this universe or another universe? Hmm...I guess it is likely from another universe because this universe has faint elemental energies even in the lowest level sectors and their planets, while Earth had none...as far as I know. '

He wanted to go there, but he doesn't know if he can and...If he went there one day, will his uncle and aunt be alive?

On the other hand, Mike and others nodded with serious faces hearing such mind-blowing words from Qerin. If being strongest here was the startline in the world where Qerin came from, then...their journey will really be tough.

Athan decided to put this higher world thingy in the back of his mind, clapped his hand as he brought everyone's attention, and said, "Qerin, we will definitely support you when the time comes. But right now, Let's focus on things that are on our plate. We still have a long journey to become the most powerful in this universe. "

Avelia squeezed her fist and said with a tough expression, " I also have to take my revenge, and for that, I will become powerful in this place. " She then looked at Athan and thought that if it wasn't for him, She wouldn't be getting powerful this fast and even get this golden opportunity.

On the other hand, Tiana smiled and said, " Let's start with our to-do list. Athan is the only one who has comprehended a complete rule. Avelia, Qerin, and Mike haven't comprehended a complete rule but have mastered their Framework Art. While I..." Tiana shook her head with a wry smile and said, " I have neither comprehended a Rule nor mastered my Framework Art. It looks like I'll have to put in double efforts, or I will be left behind. "

...

Afterward, Everyone started training.

Tiana, Avelia, Qerin, and Mike started with comprehending a complete rule. Normally, it was hard to comprehend a complete rule; however, They had aid from the magic core, making it easy to comprehend a Rule related to their magic, just like how Athan comprehended a Blood-related Rule from his Blood Magic of Versatile Covenant.

While they were comprehending Rule, Athan was practicing his Framework Art: Crimson Impaler.

Inside his Energy realm...

First, The Unima core was in the middle. It never moved from its position. Its job is to provide Primal energy, but Athan knew there was more to it since the primal energy he got from the unima core was twice as strong as a normal primal energy. AND...It could also let him comprehend the magic spells instantly...This was a very baffling matter in a way, but he didn't want to waste time dwelling on things that were far above his current level. He also guessed that the magic mentioned by Mimi and the magic he got were two different things.

Mimi only said that Unima core was necessary to use powerful magic; she didn't say it could let them comprehend the magic instantly.

Now, Besides his Unima core that was staying in one place, There were three other things.

Magic core of blood magic and magic core of lightning magic.

These two cores were orbiting around the Unima core while having a small river of their magic energy around them.

The Blood magic core had blood-red energy surrounding it, while the Lighting magic core had lightning blue energy surrounding it.

Both had the same magic energy capacity, and Athan had no way of increasing that capacity for now.

The last thing inside his Energy realm was a dark blood red orb. This orb stayed outside of the range at which the two magic cores were orbiting around the Unima core.

Athan focused on it and started practicing the Crimson Impaler Framework Art. He entered the primal energy inside the orb, and in turn, The orb released its framework energy that started to spread throughout his body.

Athan followed the information he got when he received this orb. He controlled the energy that was spreading throughout his body and started to refine his body with it.

Athan had given the orb the maximum amount of primal energy he could at once, and in turn, the orb gave him enough energy to refine his whole body one time.

Refine here means that this Framework energy will strengthen his body by being absorbed into all of his body cells and making them stronger. One round was enough to strengthen all of his body cells one time by the Framework energy of Crimson Impaler Framework Art. This process of all of his cells getting stronger was painful because trillions of cells would release painful waves throughout his body when the Framework energy strengthens them.

But he had to continue this process until the released energy from the orb can not refine his body anymore.

Athan continued this process constantly while enduring as he had no problem running out of Primal energy to provide to the orb.

After he refined his body ten times, The orb's energy finally could not refine his body anymore.

Athan opened his eyes as he felt a lot more powerful than before, " If I wear my horned crown on top of this...I doubt I will be damaged by the people who are at the peak of the Ruler plane. "

After briefly checking his physical strength, He moved onto the " Art " part of the Framework Art.

The orb inside his Energy realm started trembling as Athan started the final but toughest process of mastering the Framework Art.

The orb was trembling more and more as cracks started to
