The Tale of the Void Emperor

"Geez, what should we do now?" Dreevindo said before sighing.

"Are they all really dead? But I don't think Athan would kill them," Roserin spoke with a frown.

"Should we visit him?" Yok asked.

"Uhh...let's wait for now and see what he does after gathering all those people."

...

Days passed as people got the news that Void Bringer wanted everyone to gather at Chaos Monolith Hills.

Other 6th and 7th grade organizations in different chaos zones in the 3rd layer were hesitant about going there. However, another news spread after five days which changed their mind.

If they didn't come, then Void Bringer would visit them.

However, all of them were scheming and had contacted the 2nd layer to ask for the help of Chaos Sovereigns using their connections.

...

Today was the deadline, and many powerhouses had gathered at Chaos Monolith Hills.

Lithen wanted to cry but had no tears to spill.

He had specially made a large territory for this gathering and hoped that they don't bring destruction to his Chaos Monolith Hills if a large fight broke out.

"Fuck! So many powerhouses...," Lithen muttered as he stayed in his palace with an anxious expression.

"I heard Chaos Sovereigns are there as well....damn, those are disasters in this 3rd layer. If one of them released their Sovereign Territory here, my organization would be destroyed...T-T."

Sovereign Territory was an upgraded form of Domains, and one would acquire them once they broke through to Chaos Sovereign realm.

"Lithen...even their fart would kill many, but there's no use worrying over it. Nothing is in our control right now," said the sub-leader of Chaos Monolith Hills as he entered the hall.

"Sigh...I just don't want this organization to disappear just because someone got angry. How stupid would that be? To be destroyed for such a stupid reason," Lithen sighed sadly.

...

After a day, all powerhouses, from chaos Monarch to chaos Sovereign, were waiting in the large hall. Those Paragons and Sovereigns were from the 2nd layer, while the Monarchs were leaders of 6th-grade organizations in this 3rd layer.

There were five Chaos Sovereigns in the hall, and they sat on five majestic thrones.

"Where is the so-called Void Bringer? Don't tell me he ran away after finding out that we have come here."

One of the Chaos Sovereigns sneered.

However, right after he finished speaking, everyone saw someone descend from the sky in this open hall.

Athan looked at everyone before stopping his gaze on the five beings.

"You really came here, hahaha. Great," Athan said with a laugh as he started walking towards them.

A field of light grey mixed black and white streaming energy formed around Athan as he started walking. He didn't give any threatening feeling to others as they couldn't sense any power around Athan.

Well, because the power around Athan was outside of their scope.

Seeing Athan coming towards them, one of the Chaos Sovereigns snorted and pointed his hand towards Athan. This person looked like a pure human man in his late twenties wearing a luxurious robe.

"Who are you, and what is your purpose? I want to know why you killed those Paragons of organization. Depending on your answer, I will choose what kind of death punishment I should give you," said the Chaos Sovereign pointing his hand towards Athan.

Athan walked in front of him and just stood a meter away from the hand before he smiled and spoke, "what makes you think that you can give me death punishment? What if...I am far more powerful than you?"

"Hahaha, stop kidding! As long as our lives are in danger, we can sense it. We can get premonition for danger. All Chaos Sovereigns have this special chaotic Intuition, which is like a blessing from this Chaosverse. But we don't feel any threats from you, hehe."

"Indeed. Whatever ability you are using to mask your power to keep up this bluff is useless."

Two other Chaos Sovereigns spoke one by one loudly, and hearing them, all other people in the hall sighed relief and felt hope.

The smile on Athan's face was gone as he shook his head and stretched both of his hands to sides, "I don't have time to waste. So please...die and give me your soul."

*Swoooooooop....*

The five sovereigns felt a heavy hit on their soul and went dizzy. Their mind and soul felt heavy, and they finally felt...threatened.

However, it was too late as a field of abyssal darkness trapped them.

"HAAAAAAAA!" one of the Sovereigns shouted loudly as he burst out with his power.

However, a mass of darkness suddenly swallowed him from the field, and he...disappeared.

The mass of darkness then went towards Athan and entered inside his body.

"Shssssssss..."Athan looked at the other four Chaos Sovereigns and put his finger on his lips, indicating for them to stay silent.

"Stay still if you don't want to become my food."

*Silence...*

'W-what happened? How did he kill Orpaz that easily?'

'What should we do?'

The remaining Chaos Sovereigns looked at each other with intense fear in their eyes. They fucked up.

Athan currently possed a lot of Abyssal darkness, and he didn't know how powerful he was right now.

He had decided to stop wasting his time and just focus on his own power right now. Naturally, he also needed to strengthen his body, which he will do after ascending to the 2nd layer with his usual method. As for his soul, he will be direct with its progression: Devouring more powerful beings' souls.

After scaring the five Sovereign into not doing anything, he looked at all other people in the hall and spoke, "I killed one Chaos Sovereign...it was easy."

"I can kill all of you easily as well. If I kill you, you won't even go into Choasverse's cycle because I would devour your soul as well."

Hearing the cold, hellish words, the crowd had despair in their eyes.

"P-please spare us. We will do anything you say."

"I beg you; please spare me."

"I will not kill you all as long as you do one thing," Athan spoke unhurriedly in a cold tone.

The Chaos Sovereigns hurridly spoke that they were willing to do anything as long as he spared them.
