604-617

Chapter 604 - Terror

Feigan saw Zangeer taking out the bottle and pouring a bit of it on the glass in front of Athan. Afterward, Sahara and Feigan saw Athan stretching his hand and drinking the peg in one go before closing his eyes.

"Yo, you are giving him THAT wine? are you kidding me? How long will it take him to get sober after this? A month?" Feigan spoke with a dumbfounded expression.

But after a second, his face turned perverted as he said to Zangeer, "hehe, Zangeer. Since he is dead drunk now and won't wake up anytime soon, how about we visit that pavilion in Dreamy Night Deep Blue? You saw how beautiful that girl was, right? hehe, maybe we can have some fun If she is just his-"

Suddenly, everyone in the pub became sober as they felt their life-threatened and soul suppressed. A chill infused in the atmosphere as the music and dance stopped.

Zangeer and Sahara panicked as they looked at Athan, whose current state had become entirely different than a second ago. His dreadful cold eyes were locked onto Feigan, who was trembling like a piece of cloth amidst a tornado.

"Athan! H-he was just joking," Zangeer has lost his cool for the first time. Even though the pressure from Athan was not directed at him, he still felt overwhelmed. He hadn't even felt this from his mother.

Athan turned to Zangeer before speaking in a voice that Zangeer felt came straight from hell, "speak one more word, and you will die along with him."

At this time, everyone in the pub was looking in Athan's direction.

The executive manager here, Gaurlis, was also sweating bullets behind the stage, and even though he wanted to interfere, he didn't dare to. The threat he felt from Athan was something he had never felt before in his life.

He hurriedly called Elk, the head executive manager.

"H-head, a dangerous fellow has entered here, and...he is likely going to kill someone," Gaurlis didn't dare speak from his mouth as he just conveyed his thoughts using soul energy through the contact card.

Elk was startled, but when she heard Gaurlis saying that the dangerous fellow was in the pub, she raised her eyebrows, 'Athan is also there, and if Gaurlis felt such danger, then it should be from Athan for sure.'

Elk--, "Ignore him and just do other things."

Gaurlis--, "O-ok understood."

"It looks like Gaurlis is really shaken," Elk muttered as she cut off the contact and shook her head with a weak smile.

Indeed, Gaurlis was thankful that Elk didn't tell him to take action. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he looked at Athan standing in front of Feigan, who had already kneeled on the ground and was trembling.

Only Feigan could know how difficult it felt even to kneel. He was feeling such an overwhelming terror on his soul that he couldn't even speak even though he wanted to beg for his life.

'Is this how it feels to face death?'

Athan put up his right leg before covering it in a black aura of abyssal darkness before he turned to Zangeer and said, "unfortunately, he was not joking, and the thing he said warrants death in my court."

What happened next shocked everyone as they felt a soul-stabbing chill.

They saw Athan putting his leg on the head of Feigan before the black aura on his leg covered Feigan and...started eating him.

The intense trembling of Feigan's body indicated that he was feeling immense pain, but not a single scream left his mouth because...he couldn't scream.

There was pin-drop silence in the entire area except for the slight sound of the ocean near them.

The black flame-like aura silently devoured Feigan, not leaving a single trace of his body and soul.

"Lucky fellow, his soul gave in and died before he could feel the full extent of pain," Athan muttered before he went back to the stool and looked at Zangeer, "fill the glass."

Zangeer gulped with nervousness as he smiled weakly and wiped the sweat as he took out the bottle of wine and filled it with glass.

Athan nodded with a faint smile as he picked up the glass and emptied it before closing his eyes and resting his head on the counter table again.

Everyone in the pub looked at each other with terrified eyes, and they all had only one question.

WHO THE HECK WAS THAT?

However, they sighed a relief as the threatening feeling due to the immense soul power radiating from Athan disappeared.

"Should we continue?" someone whispered.

Athan suddenly opened his eyes and said with a confused expression, "why did you all stop? start the music and enjoy."

Everyone heard that and became less cautious as the music and dance started again.

However, one thing was sure that they would never forget this day of their life.

This act of Athan led many things in motion even though he didn't intend to.

First, the three dark daggers assassins were also in the pub because after arriving here, getting the location of Athan, they directly arrived here. Heck, they just entered the pub five minutes ago.

But right now, they were leaving while cursing the one who up the task to assassinate Athan.

"There is a strict rule in our organization that if someone feeds us false information on the target and leads our members to death, we will assassinate the one who put up this task," the dark dagger member at the peak of Evagon-realm said coldly.

"Let's go back and report the situation before killing the bastard who put up this task."

...

On the other hand, Zangeer, Sahara, and the other three had gathered together and discussed the matter of Feigan's death.

"His clan should've gotten the information of his death due to his soul slip. Did they know that Feigan was coming with us at Heaven's Tranquility?" Zangeer questioned as he looked at Zakus.

Zakus shook his head, "nope. He and I were training at Cursed Valley under curse master Reil when we received your contact. So they will go there and ask the curse master Reil about Feigan first. They don't know I was with him, or they would have contacted me by now."

Lemon glanced to the left and looked at drunk Athan before saying to Zangeer with a pout, "who is that friend of yours? how can he be so powerful?"

Chapter 605 - Happenings.

"What kind of power was that? It didn't exude any kind of...readings. It was silent and silently consumed that person," Kronel muttered as he was sitting amidst the clouds with a dilemma.

Since Elk told him to observe Athan himself if he didn't believe in her words, he went to the pub incognito and observed Athan as well.

He was indeed shocked at the soul power of Athan but even more so at that black ethereal flame-like power which felt very strange to him.

"Damn! How can he have such soul power when he is just a zen order elite?"

...

Another half a day passed as Athan was still waiting for the killers to appear.

But who will tell him that he scared them away already?

The assassins were scared off, and Kronel also erased thoughts of needlessly antagonizing Athan just for the sake of testing him.

However, Zakus got the contact from Feigan's father after half a day, and he was looking at Zangeer and others with a hesitant expression, "what should I do now? Should I pick up the contact and tell him the truth?"

Zangeer and others looked at each other as they also didn't know how to proceed further.

Zangeer thought for a few moments and said, "Zakus, you talk with Feigan's father while I talk with Athan about this matter."

Zakus nodded as he accepted the contact and started talking to him while Zangeer went towards Athan and sat on the stool beside him.

"Ahem...Athan. That Feigan has a family, and his father is a high-grade Evagon-realm powerhouse. We Ju-"

"Tell him that if he wants revenge, then I'll send two peak Evagon-realm powerhouses to erase his whole family. If you want them to die, you can keep them in the dark. But if you want them to live, then convince them in your way. The choice is yours," Athan said without opening his eyes.

Zangeer was speechless but nodded as he stood up and went towards Zakus, 'Well, Feigan was the eldest son but not the only son. If he cares for his family, then I should be able to convince him.'

Zangeer couldn't care less about other people here except for Sahara. They were only friends in the name. They were not like...die for each other type friends.

He took a contact card from Zakus and started talking with Feigan's father.

...

Melker was waiting for news of the assassination attempt. Frankly thinking, he felt that it wouldn't succeed because he didn't think that Mr. Horeinsen was bull shitting. But he still wanted to try.

"It's been a day now. They should have started their assassination already," Melker muttered.

He continued to wait, but after three hours, he saw Judas appearing with a weak smile on his face, "we failed."

"Oh...well, I was not expecting to succeed in the first place," Melker said as he nodded.

"That's not how we failed," Judas said with a sigh, "the pawn I used to put up this task died as well, and from the information, he was killed by dark daggers for providing false information."

"Hmm?" Melker raised his eyebrows in surprise, "what false information?"

"That Athan...he actually possesses soul power that's at the peak of Evagon-realm or...possibly higher," Judas said with a wry smile, "what do we do now?"

Melker closed his eyes for a few minutes before he spoke coldly, "issue another task about killing all of his companions. Also, prepare to go to upper-chaosverse right after issuing that task. I suddenly feel uneasy staying here."

*BANGG!*

A loud bang resounded as Melker and Judas were startled.

Melker hurriedly stood up before a person arrived in the hall and said with panic, "we are under attack!"

"Who is attacking us?" Judas questioned with a frown.

"Its...It's the Ursh'in clan. They brought two of their battleships and are fully intending to destroy us entirely."

Melker's heart turned cold while Judas was also shocked, "why are they attacki-"

Judas didn't finish speaking as he already knew why. He had seen that mirage crystal, so he knew that the entire Ursh'in clan should be under Athan's command.

However, they didn't expect that Athan would openly dare to attack them like that. Something like this hasn't happened here in a very long time.

"Master Melker, what do we do now?" Judas spoke as he was also panicking now.

Melker thought for a few moments before he sighed and said, "one must learn to retreat and bid for the right time. Tell everyone to escape in their own way or surrender."

"What about us?" Judas hurridly asked.

"You, Galio, and Forb are coming with me to upper-chaosverse. It's time we settle down there with our business," Melker said before his eyes turned cold, and he continued icily, "there will surely come a day when I can let that Athan feel the same pain as I felt and take revenge. "

...

Athan had left the pub two hours ago and was enjoying his time with Tiana because Elk told him that the people who came to kill him left Heaven's Tranquility.

The staff was also keeping an eye on them, so Elk later found out that those three assassins entered the pub as well before Athan killed Feigan.

After leaving the pub, Athan commanded Zorgia to go and destroy Melker's place and kill him possible.

Athan was too lazy to go there personally as he wanted to enjoy himself with others for the next two months before resuming their intense training in the special-grade chaos phenom dimension.

If these enemies he left alive here proved to be some trouble later, he would feel that it was worth it to let them live. That's why he also spared the Gardues clan.

...

"So is it my turn now, eh?" Tiana said with a smile as she sat on Athan's lap as both of them were taking a bath in the hot spring.

Athan smiled as he knew guessed why Avelia and Sen had disappeared.

"Since I am last, then you will have to spend more time with me," Tiana said with a pout.

"Hahaha.. As you wish, your highness."

Chapter 606 - Departing, A Short Stop In A Town.

After spending some time with Tiana, she was also exhausted and tired cause of the intense battle with Athan. So, she, Avelia, and Sen were sleeping in the Dreamy Night Deep Blue's pavilion while Athan went and met up with others.

Athan knew that it would take several days before Tiana, Avelia, and Sen finished with the process of completely absorbing his yang energy to nourish their body and soul. As such, he spent the following days with others and had fun.

Days passed as everyone enjoyed playing games like fishing, gambled in casinos, and had peace and relaxation in different facilities.

Just like that, their two-month break was over, and it was time to leave for the harsh training.

...

After everyone boarded the flying ship, Athan went into a separate room and called Zorgia for some talk.

"Zorgia, you have a son, right? what is he doing right now?" Athan asked as he leaned back on the couch.

"My son is training to breakthrough to Evagon-realm right now," Zorgia said respectfully.

"Sit down," Athan said as he gestured Zorgia to sit down since he was standing.

Zorgia wondered why Athan called him here as he sat down on a couch across from Athan.

"I am planning to give you push that will allow you to breakthrough to Chaos king-realm," Athan said unhurriedly.

"R-really?" Zorgia was excited, but then he suddenly frowned and said, "but if I breakthrough, then I will have to leave and go to upper-chaosverse."

Athan nodded before saying, "I know, but that only applies here. If you break through in that special-grade chaos phenom dimension, then you can stay there as a chaos king-realm powerhouse. Until I and others are ready to go to upper-chaosverse, you will have to stay inside that chaos phenom dimension."

"As you wish," Zorgia bowed and spoke with excitement still in his voice. He knew for a fact after hearing the talk between Dean Lenix and Athan that whatever Athan is going to do to him would benefit him greatly in the long run rather than just helping him break through to the chaos king realm.

"Also, you can send those two elders back to your clan. Since you will be coming with me, your clan would need some forces as well after the show we made two months ago," Athan said.

"I am terribly ashamed to have let that Melker escape," Zorgia said with some shame even though he knew that Athan didn't mind that failure.

"Leave it. I already told you that it's fine," Athan waved his hand and spoke carefreely. He then stood up and left before saying, "you should go to your clan and finish the matter there before coming to the special-grade dimension. I will use my abilities on you at that time."

"Thank you very much, young master Athan," Zorgia spoke with gratefulness as he followed Athan to leave the room before he left the flying ship and went to his clan with the two elders.

On the other hand, Athan arrived in the hall where everyone was sitting and said to Drizzly and Shiromi with a smile, "Tronel and others have arrived at Chaos Monolith Hills and are now their official members."

Hearing the news, Drizzly and Shiromi were very happy.

"I hope they arrive at the upper-chaosverse later as well," Shiromi said with a smile.

Drizzly nodded with a broad smile as well, "we will be together again at that time."

"They will surely come to upper-chaosverse not long after we go there. After all, I have used my abilities on them," Athan said with a grin.

"Athan, let's stop by a town and buy some things. Since we won't be coming out before breaking through to Evagon-realm next time, we can take some break in there while training and have fun once in a while for relaxation," Avelia said.

"Big brother, can we send some things to our family in the Vaiklaid continent as well? We four brothers have won some resources in the gamble, but since we don't need it, we want to send them to our family," the eldest Nimpere brother said.

"Sure, I'll tell Lady Fu to stop by a big town on the way. We can buy some necessary things, and you can also deliver the things you want," Athan said with a smile as he stood up and went towards the main cabin where Lady Fu was staying.

After telling her about the plans, he asked, "did you finish your matter completely or not?"

Lady Fu looked at Athan before she smiled and shook her head, "not completely, one person is still alive, but I couldn't find him. Anyway, I already killed the main culprit, so it's fine. Your tasks are important than him since you have practically given me the lifeline and an opportunity to take revenge for my family."

"Well, you can just put a bounty on him if you want to. I'll give you the money for it," Athan said.

"Nah, he is not worth it," Lady Fu declined the offer before saying with a grin, "he will still suffer because he will always live by hiding from now on."

...

After talking with Lady Fu, Athan returned to the hall as he asked about their progress and their state soul. After these two months of break and the progress of transcendence, they should be progressing faster once they start their training.

After an hour, the flying ship stopped outside a big town as everyone left and roamed the town to buy various things. Avelia mostly bought ingredients and seasonings for the food. While others also bought things they wanted.

Sen even bought a portable house, saying to Avelia and Tiana that they could take a break in there once in a while during training, making both of them speechless.

On the other hand, Athan was with Linci and Shiromi in some street as they wanted Athan to choose an accessory for them.

After choosing the powerful accessory with Evagon-level protection ability for them, he remembered something and took out a jade box.

"Something powerful... soul-related is in it. What is inside?" Shiromi said with curiosity in her voice.

Linci agreed as she also felt it.

Athan smiled and gave it to Shiromi before saying, "I bought it in the auction, and I think that it will be the most suitable to you considering the nature of your soul physique."

Linci took out the contact card at this moment as she seemed to have received a contact.

"What!?"

Athan and Shiromi looked at Linci, who shortly put away the contact card and said with a frown, "It was Palace master Raigia from Chaos Monolith Hills. He called me to inform me that my father contacted them and wants to talk with me."

Linci looked at Athan and said with some hesitation, "Athan, I...can I go there?"

"Of course, you can," Athan said as he made a chopping motion on Linci's head, "to make it faster, Lady Fu will take you to Chaos Monolith Hills herself while we wait here in this town."

After saying that, he called Lady Fu right away and told her about the situation.

Lady Fu arrived there shortly and took Linci away while Athan called everyone and told them to gather at the Pixel Resort to wait for Lady Fu and Linci after they are done buying their things.

Chapter 607 - Linci's Situation. Bad News.

Linci's father--, "Linci, We sent Rofelto there with a miraculous stone that could cure your mother of your power. But Lenjas family put conditions to marry you to Rofelto before using that stone on your mother and I agreed. However, after hearing no news of Rofelto for some time, three butlers of Lenjas's family descended to the Midgard continent with Rofelto's soul slip and...right after they entered there, his soul slip was turned into ash. You know what that means, right?"

Linci was currently with Dean Lenix, Lady Fu, and Hill master Kledris, who knew about Rofelto's death but was kept shut by Dean Lenix.

The four of them were inside a spacious room, and there was a half-meter square plate on the table with runic patterns. They were talking with Linci's father, who was in upper-chaosverse, through that square plate. It was a product of Runic Artist.

'It looks like the cat is finally out of the bag,' Keldris thought.

Linci took a deep breath, but just as she was going to speak, she sent Dean Lenix a voice transmission, 'send Keldris out.'

Dean Lenix looked at Keldris, and voice transmitted, 'alright, your job is done here, and that chaos oath you took is null now. Go back to what you were doing.'

Keldris bowed and left with some dissatisfaction because he wanted to stay and listen to their talk.

After Keldris left, Linci said, "father, Rofelto met me and showed me that stone as well. He decided to test that stone, and it indeed worked but not for long because that stone seemed to have a capacity that he or you all were not aware of, and once it reached its limit, the stone broke and blasted, killing him in the process."

*Crackk...Boom..*

Dean Lenix and Linci heard the sound of something breaking and a loud boom from the other side and looked at each other with surprise.

Dean Lenix weakly smiled and said, "it looks like the head of Lenjas family is with your father,"

Linci nodded as she decided against revealing the truth after learning of this.

She wanted to tell her father about Athan and how she had found the solution to her mother's problem, but since Rofelto's father was hearing right now, she didn't want to speak any of that.

As such, she asked about her mother's condition.

Linci's father--, "her condition...it's getting worse. Anyway, just stay there and don't come to upper-chaosverse because with her worsened condition, even if you are in upper-chaosverse, your strange power might affect her, and I don't want to take that risk."

He cut off the contact right after that while tears appeared in Linci's eyes.

Dean Lenix sighed as he felt sad for this girl who her own family alienated. Lady Fu also sighed and hugged Linci before saying, "It's ok, dear. Since her condition is worsening, you can tell Athan to speed up to breakthrough to Evagon-realm. You both can go there first to save your mother."

"I-*sniff* I also care for my mother. It's not like I want to harm her," Linci couldn't help but cry.

Linci cried a lot because she was reminded of her situation in her own family after spending good times with Athan and others.

Right now, She honestly believed Athan and others to be her family because she had experienced many first times with them. On the other hand, she was kept in an isolated box in her home in upper-chaosverse right after birth.

However, she still remembers the warmth of her mother as she embraced her while being hurt by her power. She wanted to feel that again, even if it was the last thing she would do before dying.

For half an hour, Lady Fu consoled Linci and said, "let's return now. Athan will definitely save your mother."

"Mhmm...," Linci nodded with some redness in her eyes.

...

Lady Fu and Linci arrived at the Pixel resort where Athan had booked one of the lobbies. Everyone was sitting on different couches and talking.

When they saw Lady Fu and Linci arriving, they stood up as it was time to leave. However, once they looked at Linci, they all knew that something was wrong.

"What happened, Linci?" Athan asked with a frown and a cold light in his eyes.

Lady Fu sighed and answered, "the condition of Linci's mother has worsened. I thi-"

Before she could finish, she was interrupted by Avelia as she hurridly said to Athan with a worry-laced voice, "Athan, you...I think you should break through to Evagon-realm early and save her mother."

Tiana, Sen, Drizzly, and others also nodded.

Linci had pleading eyes as she looked at Athan. She believed that Athan would keep his promise.

Athan approached Linci and patted her head before saying with a smile, "no need to wait until I breakthrough to Evagon-realm. Let's go right now."

"But...unless you breakthrough to Evagon-realm, you can't pass the omnipresent barrier between all lower-chaosverses and the upper-chaosverse," Lady Fu stated with a weak smile.

Athan snorted before saying with a smile, "There's no harm in trying. Lady Fu, wait here for Zorgia before taking everyone to the special-grade chaos phenom dimension."

Tiana smiled gently and said, "go and come back after saving her mother. I know that no barrier can block you if you want to go somewhere."

Athan smiled and nodded as he grabbed Linci's hand flew out before conjuring his cloud of chaos.

"There's should be a way to go to your house in upper-chaosverse since you arrived at Chaos Monolith Hills directly from there, right?" Athan asked.

Linci was currently moved to tears, excited, and felt turbulent waves in her heart. She also believed that no barrier could block Athan, and she just couldn't wait to save her mother.

"Y-yes...*sniff*," Linci wiped the tears and said hurriedly, "Dean Lenix can directly open the cosmic path leading to my house in the upper-chaosverse using a device in Chaos Monolith Hills. It's mostly used to replace Evagon-realm staff from main Chaos Monolith Hills in upper-chaosverse to here. The device is connected to all families affiliated with Chaos Monolith HIlls as well."

"Good," Athan nodded with a smile as he looked at Linci and promised, "we will definitely save your mother."

Chapter 608 - Shock And Disbelief. Joy And Excitement.

Athan flew towards the Chaos Monolith Hills at full speed of his cloud of chaos arrived there after an hour.

After learning of Athan's intention, Dean Lenix nodded and opened the cosmic path leading to the upper-chaosverse before saying, "I'll tell the Crow house to allow this comic path activation to their house. Also, I am coming with you as well."

They were inside a special hall in the central hill palace, which only Dean Lenix and three hill palace heads could access. There was a runic disk in this hall, which dean Lenix activated and a portal manifested inside that runic disk. There was another person in this hall, a middle-aged man, and he was one of the three hill palace heads called Arkhen.

The portal looked like a whirlpool with an unending path filled with silver and blue sparks.

"Arkhen, stay here and activate this device when I contact you from upper-chaosverse," Dean Lenix said before he turned to Athan and Linci, "let's go."

Dean Lenix, Athan, and Linci entered the portal as they appeared in a starry path filled with silver and blue force moving forward.

Athan was feeling a bit of pressure while Linci and Dean Lenix were fine. Linci was okay because this path wouldn't affect a person born in the upper-chaosverse and those who reached Evagon-realm.

They walked in this magically cosmic path for ten minutes before Athan saw a whirlpool portal that looked the same as the one from which they entered in this cosmic path.

However, he also felt more pressure and a barrier before that portal.

"Athan, this...is the barrier. Normally, people born into lower-chaoserverse and even lower would have to reach Evagon-realm to pass this barrier. However, you might be able to breach it if you cover yourself in your mystical black power," Dean Lenix said.

Athan nodded as he entirely covered himself in the abyssal darkness, "you two go first. I will just dash through this barrier because if I simply walk, It will rapidly consume my abyssal darkness, and I might get stuck since this barrier seems like it has infinite energy."

"It indeed has infinite energy, and It will instantly recover any damage to it in less than a millisecond," Dean Lenix said.

"Alright, I'll be going first," Dean Lenix said as he entered the portal first and disappeared.

Afterward, Linci looked at Athan as her eyes were filled with worry and her expression was anxious, "Athan, I...should I really go there? Father said that my mother's condition has worsened, so my presence in upper-chaosverse might trigger this power in her soul and flare-up."

"Nyaa! Don't worry. I will be able to sense your mother instantly once I go there and extract all Netherly frost from her body," Primo said as the cat stood on its hind leg and pounded its chest confidently with its cute paws.

"Don't worry and go. We will save your mother," Athan nodded and said with a reassuring smile.

Linci bit her lips and nodded with a smile. She trusted Athan and Primo.

After Linci entered the portal, Primo went inside Athan's void region before Athan dashed through the barrier.

*Swoosh...*

*Chreeeeee...*

Dean Lenix, Linci, and two more people were there on the other side in a hall.

Those two people were two middle-aged men, and their aura was at the high-stage Evagon-realm.

Both of them were the servants of the Crow household, and their job was to receive guests and keep a lookout on the cosmic path.

"This...Dean Lenix, you didn't inform me that young miss Linci was also coming. Master Crow will get angry if he hears about it," one of the servants spoke.

Linci's face had turned cold and indifferent after arriving in this suffocating place that was her...home. However, there was also a spark of hope and anticipation in her eyes.

The two servants kept a distance from Linci and looked at her with fearful eyes.

"Are we waiting for one more person?"

Right after this servant finished speaking, a person appeared from the portal...fully covered in blood with only a thin layer of skin that seemed to have just built up.

One could see several damaged bones and organs as well.

"Athan!" Linci shouted with worry as she dashed towards Athan, "t-this..."

The two servants were shocked to their core and were especially dumbfounded when they saw the person's aura.

'What the hell is a person at Zen order elite doing here? How did he pass the barrier since he...was clearly not born in upper-chaosverse.'

The two servants looked at each other in confusion.

A bright white layer covered Athan's entire body before turning into the clothes he had worn previously. The blood covering his body was gradually disappearing as well as he patted Linci's head and said with a smile, "I'm fine."

However, no one noticed except Athan that Primo had already left the hall.

Suddenly, everyone felt a suffocating pressure except for Athan, as a middle-aged man with a solid and overbearing temperament arrived in the hall through the open doors of this palace.

Seeing him, the two servants directly bowed and said, "M-master Crow. We didn't know young miss Linci was coming as well. Please forgive us."

Dean Lenix also bowed and said hurriedly, "Master Crow, we have found the cure for Mrs. Elena."

Linci turned to her father as her face became void of any expression, "let's go, Athan."

Linci's father was first surprised because Athan was clearly within two meters of Linci, but he was unaffected by her power. Everything around her was peaceful as there was no sense of coldness and deathly chill.

He was still finding it hard to believe the words of Lenix, but he remained silent and just observed the strange young man, which was failing to see through.

Suddenly, Primo entered inside the hall and started laughing, "Nyahaha. Master, I extracted all Netherly frost from Linci's mother. She is now completely fine."

"M-master Crow! Master Crow! A miracle happened! M-madam Elena suddenly regained her consciousness! We are also not feeling any coldness from her!"

A person entered the hall while shouting excitedly!

Linci trembled as she looked at Primo and Athan before making a dash towards the hall's doors with tears in her eyes.

On the other hand, Master Crow's whole body shook before he disappeared as he left the hall as well.

Chapter 609 - Soul Stabbing Cries.

When Linci entered the room where her mother was staying, the servants there instantly became fearful.

But Linci didn't look at them and just stopped two meters away from the bed of her mother.

Her mother was sitting on the bed with confusion as her mind was still in a blank state. After all, she had been unconscious for so many years.

Linci had tears in her eyes as she looked at her mother. She was happy but she was also anxious because she was afraid that her mother wouldn't recognize her. After all, the first and last time Linci met her was when she was just a year old baby, and all this time, her soul was affected by Netherly frost.

Linci slowly walked towards her with anxious footsteps. Elena's gaze also turned to Linci as the confusion in her eyes intensified for a moment. But only for a moment as she felt very familiar with the young lady in front of her. Suddenly, something clicked in her mind as tears appeared in her eyes.

Her gaze turned gentle as she softly said with a smile, "oh my. The little girl has become so big now."

"Mother!" Linci dashed forward to hug her with tears streaming down her cheeks.

But seeing that, the servants instantly panicked.

They saw Master Crow appearing in the room, but...the servants were confused because he just stood there and didn't stop Linci...well, not that he could if he tried, but still, they were confused as to why he didn't say anything.

"My dear, why are you crying so much?"

Everyone looked at Linci as she tightly hugged Elena while crying her heart out.

"M-mo-*sniff* mother..."

Tears continued to stream down Linci's face. All the grievances she felt in this house since she was small were leaving through her loud crying as she kept calling out her mother and saying sorry to her while hugging her tightly.

Athan walked into the room with Dean Lenix as well. Dean Lenix stopped at the corner, but Athan walked beside Linci's father and softly spoke, "what do you see in that girl? A monster? A devil? A disaster?"

Linci's father clenched his fists as he looked at his daughter and his wife.

"Can you see the pain and grievances you gave her since she was a child now? or are you still blind?" Athan continued.

"The love you have for your wife and her situation blinded you so much that you inflicted so much pain to flesh and blood of your wife, your daughter. Do you realize that now or not?" Athan continued before he sighed.

"Brother Gaarshil! I heard th-....Linci? wh-what's going on?" A middle-aged man suddenly entered the room and called out to Linci's father, Gaarshil. But he was startled and shocked at the situation in the room.

On the other hand, Gaarshil's body shook, and his eyes trembled at every word of Athan and the cries of Linci as they were stabbing him like a knife to his heart.

He could feel the emotions of Linci that she was letting out now, which he had ignored all this time. He had refused to see his own daughter right after she was born and had ignored her entirely as he put all of his focus and effort on saving Elena. However, a flood of regret was washing over him right now.

"Daughter...," Gaarshil muttered, but suddenly, he felt killing intent from beside him as he turned to look at Athan and saw his cold eyes looking straight at him.

"You...do realize that you have no right to call her your daughter...right? Stupid old man," Athan spoke icily.

Gaarshil's body shook as he turned his face to the mother and daughter. A single tear rolled down his cheek before he clenched his fist tightly and disappeared.

"Brother Gaarshil?" Benil muttered before he looked at Athan and frowned. He didn't know who this kid was and why did have the guts to speak such things to Gaarshil. However...he also had no choice but to agree with Athan.

All of them feared Linci and treated her like a cursed child. But now...as they looked at Linci hugging her mother while not a single ounce of her berserk power left her body, they were both shocked and relieved.

He also left the hall and went after Gaarshil.

Athan swept his glance at the servants before speaking, "Everyone, out."

After saying that, he left the room as Dean Lenix also followed him.

The four maids and two butlers were dumbfounded and wondered why that stranger was giving orders to them, but...they obeyed it and left the room as well, leaving the mother and daughter alone. After all, they were affected by Linci's cries as well.

Elena was also shedding more tears as she caressed Linci's back while tightly hugging her.

Even though she didn't know what happened while she was unconscious, She could understand everything from the heartbreaking cries of Linci that were filled with pain, grievance, a hint of despair, and relief as Linci continuously apologized to her.

"I am fine now, dear. I am very much fine now," Elana's voice cracked as she said. The intense emotion of her daughter affected her as she felt a lump in her throat.

...

Linci eventually fell into sleep in her mother's embrace. Elena put Linci on her lap and carefully looked at her now-grown daughter with a gentle smile on her face while caressing her head.

Linci had the best sweet smile on her face while she was sleeping. She was relishing in all the love she had missed since she was a child on her mother's lap.

"Linci...just what did you experience until now that made you cry like that?" Elena spoke with a saddening voice while her eyes shone with a cold light.

She would never forgive the ones who put her daughter in such misery.

...

Gaarshil was in another room as he just sat blankly on a couch while gazing at the outside world through the window. The outside was dark and filled with colorful, chaotic waves and stars.

The flood of regret washing over him as he watched his daughter carefully for the first time made him realize the huge mistake he had made.

"Brother....," Benil arrived in the room and sighed as he saw his brother's state.

Chapter 610 - Time To Up A Step.

Gaarshil looked blankly out of the window while his brother just stood behind him without saying anything.

However, both brothers' eyes went wide when they saw someone on the other side of the window.

It was ATHAN! And he was bathing in his own blood...quite literally.

"W-what is he doing outside? courting death?" Benil uttered with shock.

He knew that this kid was at the peak of Zen order elite from his exuded aura.

"Brother, who is that kid? Benil asked Gaarshil, wanting to snap him out of his thoughts as well.

Gaarshil looked at Athan with complicated eyes as he sighed. Lenix told him everything through sound transmission when he was in the room. He knew that Athan was the only reason why his wife recovered, and the berserk power of his daughter got under control was also because of him.

"Elena is cured because of him," Gaarshil said.

"What! How?" Benil was truly dumbfounded, "He is...wait," Benil tried to probe Athan deeply but failed, "I can't see through him even though he is just zen order elite."

Gaarshil nodded as he knew that Athan was as simple what he externally showed.

"But why is he injuring himself by going outside? His physical body is clearly very weak," Benil said with a frown.

"Go and talk to him. Remember, he is...our important guest," Gaarshil said before he stood up and left the room with hesitating footsteps.

However, upon reaching the door, he turned back again and sat down with a sigh.

Benil shook his head as he internally sighed. He can't say anything in this matter.

Once the entire matter regarding Linci reached Elena, she...would definitely get angry, and her wrath was not something anyone could endure. However, he held a hope that Elena wouldn't take action in haste.

He then left the room and went towards Athan.

This entire Crow House was a large floating castle on a tiny island with three giant sections. Deep below this floating castle was ground and greenery, but they were vastly different and...very powerful.

Athan was soaking in this dangerous atmosphere that was twice as worse as the special-grade chaos phenom dimension.

The strings of order sets were rapidly connecting as he was combining the five chaotic powers he comprehended in the special-grade chaos phenom dimension in the Midgard continent.

The 3rd mini-chaotic world was rapidly producing and becoming perfect each second as Athan combined and modified the five chaotic powers to create a new one.

Those five chaotic powers were mostly related to extreme control. Among them, two chaotic powers were status-type offense and control mix, while the other three chaotic powers were pure control as their order sets were full of control-type characteristics and properties.

"Nyaa! Master, I guess it's time you take a step ahead in your mastery of Abyssal Void of Fabrication," Primo flew around Athan excitedly because Primo could feel that Athan managed to grasp more of Abyssal Void of Fabrication in that room.

Now he just needed to start this enlightenment of AVOF and upgrade his soul.

Athan nodded with a grin as a black and white aura oozed out from his body, slowly covering him. His soul was in the same process as it was shining brightly with black and white aura while also sparkling with black and white motes inside the soul's body.

But Athan paused and took back all aura as he turned to his left side and saw Benil. Seeing him, Athan thought of something and asked when Benil had just arrived in front of him, "do you have a quiet place in this castle?"

Benil was going to speak, but Athan asked him the question before he could do that. Still, he answered first with a nod, "we indeed have such a place. Do you want to enter into meditation?"

Benil guessed because he felt that Athan might want to do that.

"I Indeed need to enter meditation," Athan nodded indifferently before saying, "please lead me there and don't let anyone disturb me, or I won't be responsible for their deaths."

Benil was speechless, but he fake coughed and nodded as he put on a smile, "I'll lead you there. Follow me,"

Both of them entered the castle's open lobby where a garden was and entered the barrier. A barrier also covered this entire castle, but it was a very strange barrier. Athan could easily pass it as he had already done that, and only after leaving the barrier did he understand its function.

The atmosphere outside the barrier was horrendous but inside the barrier was energetic, calm, and peaceful.

Athan followed Benil back into the castle as they entered through giant castle gates.

After walking for a while, Benil led Aren in front of a room and said with a smile, "behind this door is a meditating ground of one of the peace dimensions. A door-shaped portal will be visible to you once you go inside, and you can come out here anytime you wish from there."

After saying that, Benil opened the door as one could see a bright and lively scenery filled with nature like grass, trees, mountain, rivers, etc., and finally two bright suns that showered everything with their gentle light and aura.

Athan nodded as he entered inside and found a large tree before sitting under it.

After a minute, Athan was covered in a mystical black and white cocoon. Black and white sparks pulsed on the cocoon while a mysterious grey aura flowed all around the cocoon from left to right, top to bottom, and crisscross.

Primo flew around the cocoon with excitement. Not just him but all the voidlings at that mysterious place were also excited as they sensed's their master gaining more mastery and understanding over Abyssal Void of Fabrication.

"Nyaa, I hope master can reach at least 7% for now. Hmmm... never mind, 6% is fine as well since he will likely reach 10% after breaking through to Evagon-realm based on what I sensed from his comprehension of AVOF," Primo excitedly muttered. Primo knew that Athan was getting and grasping the idea more and more in the Zinger town.. So Athan just needed to piece it together, which he did in Elena's room to get 6th percent of AVOF's understanding and grasp it.

Chapter 611 - Elena

While Athan was in the upper-chaosverse, Lily and Huarin were ready to ascend to the lower-chaosverse.

...

In the past few years, Lily and Huarin trained together in Ark space as Lily also increased Huarin's talent with Ark of Exordium's power.

Although both of them had long qualified to ascend, they stayed for a while and sorted out everything for Dream Palace.

"Lily, do you know how chaosverse looks like?" Huarin asked with curiosity.

"Nope, but we will see it soon," Lily said with a smile, "let's go now. The portal is open."

They were in front of a giant vortex, and there were other people here as well since there was a large city built around this vortex.

Unlike the Elenex universe, this universe's people had already started ascending to chaosverse for a long time.

After they went through the large vortex, they arrived in a new world that was completely different from the universe. They couldn't feel laws or spirit energy in the atmosphere at all.

However, before they could look around properly, five people surrounded them and started introducing their organizations, the benefits of joining them, etc.

"Eh, we are not interested in joining any organization right now," Lily said with a smile as she waved her right hand, "bye."

After that, she and Huarin entered the Ark space and started moving.

There was an extremely tiny dot blended into the atmosphere. Even if powerhouses searched it with all their power, they wouldn't be able to see this tiny dot.

This tiny dot had a mystic space power around it such that even though it was present in chaosverse's, it was not present in this exact plane at the time because the Ark had a special dimension around it.

Not even powerhouses in the upper-chaosverse would be able to sense the Ark moving around them.

After entering the Ark space, Lily started moving it with her while seeing everything outside.

While moving, she turned to Mimi and asked, "Mimi, since we are in chaosverse now, can you come outside?"

Mimi shook her head and said, "nope, I still can't go outside. I could go out in the universe, but it would damage it. However, If I go outside right now, I will be attacked instead and forced to leave chaosverse."

"Oh, I see...," Lily nodded before she turned to Huarin, "sis, what do we do now? do we join any organization?"

Huarin and Lily had nulled their Master-disciple status years ago when Huarin found out about Lily's progression speed. But their bond was deep since they had stayed together for years and were just like sisters. Huarin was still more experienced even though she was not as powerful as Lily.

"Nyaa, I can't sense master here," Lucky said with a sad voice.

DeathKnight, Silvestra, Lucent, and Skylord were also disappointed.

Mimi nodded and said with a wry smile, "we ascended to a different lower-choasverse, that's why. But, no worries, all lower-chaosverses are connected to one Upper-chaosverse. That's the real chaosverse; It's boundless!"

"Lily, the person you want to find might reach upper-chaosverse sooner or later, or he might be already there, so our only goal should be to get strong ourselves and ascend to upper-chaosverse as well," Huarin said with a smile.

"Yes," Lily nodded with determination.

"Then let's roam around in Ark and gather some information first," Huarin said after thinking for a bit, "we will have to find a place that can allow us to progress fastest."

"Gotcha, let's do it!" Lily said with some excitement as she flew the Ark and fished for information. She was motivated to train more and more to reach the upper-chaosverse and meet Athan there.

...

On the other hand, Linci and her mother, Elena, had already spent a day together as Linci talked about her time after meeting Athan and how he changed her entire world.

Elena looked at her daughter with a gentle gaze as she talked about Athan.

"It looks like my baby girl has found her love," Elena said with a chuckle as she looked at Linci, who had turned beet red after hearing her.

"Hehe, Mother also married your father because we loved each other," Elena said with a smile as she patted Linci's head.

"Linci...you said you met Athan ten some years ago, right? but what about before that?" Elena asked as she hugged Linci before continuing, "your cries told me your suffering, but I don't know the reason that caused you that. Tell me, precious...what happened?"

Linci shook her head with a smile and said, "who can do anything to me when I had such a...berserk power inside me? If anyone dared to come close to me, they would suffer, not me."

Elena sighed and said, "fine, I will find out what happened myself. I am sensing that you avert your gaze every time I talk about your father and become unnatural. So I will ask him myself."

"I also want the memories of you when you were a little baby from your father because I didn't have that chance," Elena said with a smile as she let out of powerful soul sense and called Gaarshil to come into the room.

Gaarshil was still in that room with an undeciding and hesitating expression before he heard Elena's voice in his ears.

Benil also slightly shook because he sensed her sister-in-law's soul presence.

He saw Gaarshil leaving the room with an expression filled with regret and self-loathe.

...

Elena and Linci saw the room of their room opening as Gaarshil entered.

Elena sensed something off when she looked at Gaarshil's expression and frowned.

"Dear, you don't seem to be happy even though I finally awoke from my deep slumber," Elene said with a frown.

Gaarshil's body shook as he looked at Elena. He was happy, very happy that his wife was finally saved, but...

"Sigh, you...were not in a deep slumber. You were dying..., but you are okay now....okay, so I am indeed happy," Gaarshil spoke in a weird way as he slightly glanced at Linci as pain and regret filled his eyes.

Elena frowned and looked at Linci as she saw that Linci's gaze directed towards Gaarshil was not the one like how a daughter would look at her father.

Elena felt as if someone suddenly pressed a heavy boulder on her chest as she guessed something. She knew her daughter's berserk power was powerful because she was the first victim of that, but...she didn't want to believe that Gaarshil took that path because of it.

"Show me!" Elena sharply said as she stretched her hand towards Gaarshil.

An ethereal soul avatar left Elena's body before it grabbed Gaarshil's head with her two hands.

Gaarshil didn't resist as Elena read and watched everything he experienced after Linci was born.

Well, it was not like he could resist Elena's power because she was way more powerful than him.

She was the most powerful existence in the entire Crow household. She was a genuine Chaos Saint realm powerhouse!

Naturally, only Gaarshil, Benil, and some of the close relatives of their knew of Elena's true strength.. After all, She was a daughter of a prominent family but had run away and married Gaarshil since they loved each other.

Chapter 612 - Dark Days.

After a while, Elena opened her eyes as her soul avatar entered back into her body.

She looked at Gaarshil with an unbelievable expression. She hurriedly turned to Linci and said in a crackling voice, "L-linci...if you are my daughter, then please....please show me your memories."

She has to do this because...she didn't find many memories of Linci except for when Linci was born when she searched Gaarshil. What more, the cold exchange she saw between them left her bewildered.

Elena hugged Linci and used her soul power to read Linci's memories.

She saw herself hugging Linci after she was born while trying to resist the cold power from her body. At that time Elena was also shocked but her daughter was more important to her as she wanted to fill her with motherly love. This moment was important because Linci was a newborn true chaotic being and her soul was developing. Anything she experienced at that moment would be carved into her soul and affect her entire life.

So if she showed scared, fear, or such expression to Linci and exuded such intent from her mind, Linci would capture it instinctively. She can't put Linci away at that time. So...she cradled Linci with the gentlest smile and spoke with her, gave her name, and gave her the warmth to make Linci comfortable. She exuded her motherly love to the fullest until she was finally frozen.

While that was happening Gaarshil was shouting in worry and panic while seeing Elena slowly freezing. But Elena prevented him from moving with her power.

After Elena was frozen, Linci started crying but Gaarshil turned mad-worried about Elena.

At that time, when Gaarshil looked at crying Linci, he was filled with resentment as he felt that she was a cursed child.

Nobody could go near them because if they do, they would feel a deathly chill to their soul and would be attacked by the strange frost power.

Gaarshi then separated the floor around Linci and controlled the cut-off floor part without touching or getting close to Linci as he took away Linci while she cried and flayed her hands towards frozen Elena. She was just born and was getting her thoughts together but her mother and her love were carved in her soul.

But Gaarshil had only Elena in his mind at that time as he put Linci the furthest possible from Elene and put in her the furthest room before sealing it with several barriers. He then hurriedly made his way back to Elena to check her condition.

As Elena was a Saint-realm powerhouse, she endured for more than half an hour while cradling Linci and resisting the Netherly frost with all of her power until she ran out of her power and got frozen. After she was frozen, she was still trying to resist the frost using all of her soul power from killing her soul.

On the other hand, After finding that Elena's soul was seriously injured and she might die in a day, Gaarshil hurriedly sold all valuables and treasures to buy a powerful Stasis artifact in hope that he would unfreeze Elena later by asking aid from Chaos Monarch powerhouses or even Chaos Paragon powerhouses if he must.

He also bought tons of soul recovery natural treasures so that they can provide aid to Elena.

And indeed, her soul stop dying since no more additional Netherly frost was affecting her.

However, he had completely put Linci out of his mind as his entire focus was on Elena.

So Linci continued to cry in the dark, isolated room covered by several barriers before she was exhausted and fell asleep. Many days passed as none of them came to Linci as she just stayed in that dark room. She would cry after waking up as she wanted to meet her mother and sleep after getting exhausted.

She was getting weaker day by day as she needed some nourishment as well. Even though she was a chaotic being, she still needed nourishment as she was just a newborn.

After half a month, two maids entered the room fearfully. Linci was crying but she stopped crying after seeing them and stared at them while letting out baby sounds and flaying her hands towards them.

However, seeing Linci flaying her hands, the two maids hurriedly ran back. Linci was confused before she started crying again.

After a minute, the two servants entered the room again and hurriedly put the nourishment jades on the floor before controlling them and putting them beside Linci.

Linci felt comfortable in her body as the jades released energy to nourish her body. However, she longed to meet her mother and she didn't like staying in this room all the time.

A month passed by as Linci would dream of Elena holding her every day as that was the only thing that kept her sane.

Her soul had developed in a month as she started to speak and walk, as different maids would fearfully enter every day and talk to Linci from afar.

They would give Linci food, clothes, and other things from afar and after a year, one of the maids went near Linci as she felt pitiful for her but just when she entered within two meters of Linci, she started to feel a deathly chill to her soul and felt coldness coming from Linci's body as the maid fearfully ran away.

Linci had spent everyday people looking at her like she was a monster and their gaze would be filled with fear.

After a few years, she saw a man entering the room, devoid of any expression while exhaustion oozed out of him. Linci didn't know who that man was but he started shouting to Linci as he screamed, begged, and asked her if she knew a way to save Elena.

Linci was scared because she was five years old at that time and was confused and scared as to why this man suddenly started shouting and screaming like that.

Linci didn't know anything but she still uttered the words of wanting to meet her mother.

Gaarshil took out her and let her meet Elena but the situation didn't improve. Gaarshil blamed Linci and told her that she caused all of this. In the end, Gaarshil decided to start the training of Linci to make her powerful in hope that she might be able to control her berserk power after getting stronger in the future and save Elena

After that short meeting of Linci with her unconscious mother, Linci continued to stay in isolation as she was taught about training on how to comprehend order sets, how to break through, etc, by different people. During this time, many were injured since Linci was training and they had to demonstrate their power as well, which ended up attracting Netherly frost.

Her days got worse after that but she was still determined to become stronger, control her power, and save her mother. Linci took a cold and indifferent stance towards people after that because all of them either loathed her or were scared of her.

To Linci, Elena and her warmth, love and those moments she spent with her mother were everything and kept her going.

Eventually, she was thrown to lower-choasverse because Elena's condition was not improving and Gaarshil didn't want to risk it because, from the reports, Linci hadn't managed to control the slightest bit of the berserk power in her.

...

Elena was crying as she experienced those dark days of Linci herself.

Chapter 613 - A Month.

Prev ChapterNext Chapter

Seeing Elena like that, Gaarshil felt pain as well. However, his eyes had turned determined as he walked towards Elena and kneeled.

Elena turned to Gaarshil and looked at him with tear-filled eyes before uttering, "why?"

"Why didn't you understand my stubbornness when I was holding Linci after she was born?" Elena's voice was filled with pain, anger, and disappointment in her husband.

Gaarshil kneeled and dropped his head as his eyes also dropped tears. He regretted and loathed himself now, but...past can't be changed.

So now, he wanted to be punished. He wanted punishment!

He himself felt that he deserved to be punished. As such, he kneeled like that and spoke in a hoarse voice, "Elena...Linci..., I am sorry."

Elena wiped her tears as she sighed and turned to look at her daughter.

Linci saw her mother looking at her and said to her softly, "I...need you but not him."

Since she was small until now, she had done everything by herself, with no one to help her. She endured all of that just to save her mother and stay with her.

"Mother, we will live together from now on, okay? Promise me," Linci said in a pitiful voice.

Elena couldn't help but let out some tears as she hugged Linci and repeatedly nodded, "of course, we will stay together."

"When my family comes to upper-chaosverse, we will live with them together. We don't need to stay here," Linci said with a happy smile as she thought about the future, "Athan will become very powerful and even rule over everything here. We will stay with him."

Gaarshil's body trembled as he thought, 'will I not even get a chance to repent?'

Elena showed helplessness, but she understood her daughter's mentality. There was this lively glow in her eyes when she talked about Athan, Sen, Tiana, and other people whom she didn't know and hadn't met yet.

Elena knew that besides herself, the only family Linci considered were those people. They took her out from despair and showed her a new world—a world where Linci could live happily and in comfort.

"Sure, my precious. We will live together with them," Elena said as she caressed Linci's back gently.

Gaarshil felt pain in his heart hearing that.

Elena was angry with her husband and even felt like beating him, but...she loves him as well, just like how he loves her and did everything he could to save Elena all these years. She actually wanted her daughter to feel the care of her father and mother that she had been missing out on since she was a child.

However, when Linci asked about that promise, she also couldn't say no to her. But she still had time to make things right because Linci also mentioned that besides Athan, all other people were still at the peak of the Zen order elite, which means that it would take time for them to come here.

'She is more attached to Athan...I have to talk to Athan and tell him to convince Linci,' Elena thought before she smiled at Linci and said, "why don't you introduce Athan to your mother? he is here, right?"

Linci's eyes instantly turned bright as she hurriedly nodded.

"He..."

Elena and Linci turned to Gaarshil as he opened his mouth to say something. His gaze landed on Linci, but Linci directly averted her gaze from him as it turned cold.

Gaarshil didn't feel anything in the past when Linci looked at him like that. Right now, however, he felt as if a knife was stabbing in his soul seeing his...daughter like that.

He closed his eyes before speaking hoarsely, "Athan...he seems to be meditating and doesn't want to be disturbed."

Hearing that, Linci turned to Elena and said, "then we shouldn't disturb him. We will wait until he comes out."

"As you wish," Elena said with a smile as she patted Linci, "come with me. Let me cook some special dishes for my daughter."

Elena grabbed Linci's hand as she led her outside the room while speaking with a gentle smile, "I am going to feed you by my hand since I didn't get that chance when you were small."

Gaarshil slowly stood up as he sighed and returned to his room.

...

Days passed as Tiana, Avelia, Sen, Drizzly, Shiromi, Tealery, Arcued, Theo, and Nimpere brothers trained and broke through to Zen order Master.

The final requirements to break through to Zen order Master were to have three complete mini-chaotic worlds with three unique chaotic powers and a total of 3000 zen order sets.

Naturally, they longed to surpass that amount of zen order sets before completing their third mini-chaotic world and creating their third unique chaotic power.

So once they finished their third chaotic world and perfected their third chaotic power, they triggered their breakthrough and fought against a chaotic phenomenon that appeared to kill them.

However, all of them survived and defeated their respective chaotic phenomenons as they received a large boost in their strength. Their Order Eidos was enhanced significantly, which enhanced their order force, and their curtain of chaos and soul were also enhanced.

At this moment, Avelia was cooking the food while others helped her since they were taking a break after breaking through to Zen order Master.

"It's been a month since Athan went up," Theo said in a voice that contained slight worry.

"Humph, nothing can happen to Emperor," Arcued snorted, "I can somehow feel that Emperor is getting stronger."

Although everyone had absolute trust in Athan, they were still a bit worried. After all, Athan went to the upper-chaosverse, which is said to be the real chaosverse. The lower-chaosverse and this special-grade phenomenon are like child's play there, according to Lady Fu and Zorgia.

"Don't worry, young master Athan has the legacy of Void Emperor. Since Void Emperor is likely in the upper-chaosverse, nothingness can happen to young master Athan," Zorgia spoke with conviction.

But hearing him, Tiana, Avelia, Drizzly, and others looked at each other with some speechlessness.

Only they knew that Void Emperor was not Athan's predecessor, but....Athan himself.

Chapter 614 - Athan Out, Elena's Wish.

Inside the peace dimension, the cocoon started cracking before it dissolved entirely in a second, revealing Athan with his usual get-up. Naturally, the outfit he wore was destroyed as only his Void robe and Void mask remained, but he waved his hand as a patch of white covered his body before it turned into the same outfit he bought at the Zinger town.

"Nyahaha, master! You really succeeded in progressing your AVOF to 7%," Primo excitedly flew around before sitting on Athan's shoulder.

Athan nodded with a faint smile as not only did his understanding of AVOF reach 7%, but his Black orb and White orb also upgraded as he could now recovery his abyssal darkness faster and produce Voidpulse faster.

However, the main thing that changed was his soul, which was the source of his Abyssal Void of Fabrication. He also got an idea, and from that idea, he got an epiphany to create something with his voidpulse.

He had already named it but had yet to work on it. The new power he will be working to create has a simple name but...powerful uses.

"Primo, since I got that idea, then can you check if some changes started to happen in that mystical realm of AVOF where you were born?" Athan asked with slight curiosity. Previously, when he worked on creating voidlings, the mysterious realm of AVOF started producing powerful voidlings based on his subconscious thoughts, so it might do the same this time.

Primo closed his eyes for a few moments before saying while shaking his head, "Nyope, nothing has started yet. But I can feel that something is happening with the realm. However, it's minor."

"Maybe it's because the master has yet to start creating it? Anyway, what is it?" Primo asked curiously.

"I named it Esoteric Void Glyph," Athan said with a grin, "I only have the general gist of it for now, so I will start working on it later. Basically, I need to create the same path as Runic Artist, but I am going to use voidpulse as the main application to create what I have in mind, the esoteric void glyphs. I have imagined their use to be quite useful, so I'll see how it goes in the future."

"Master wil definitely succeed!" Primo shouted.

...

Afterward, Athan arrived outside and called Linci using the contact card.

Linci--, "Athan! Did you finish your training session?"

Athan--, "Yep, just came outside from that peace dimension."

Linci--, "Okay, you wait there, I am coming."

"Nyaa, Linci sounds very different. Even I could feel how happy and cheerful she sounded," Primo said while sitting on Athan's shoulder.

Athan nodded with a smile as he also felt happy for her, "her mother was her entire world since she was small. So naturally, she should be very happy right now."

After ten seconds, Linci arrived there and told Athan to meet with her mother as she and Athan went to the dining hall.

Linci said that they would talk while eating her mother's delicious dishes.

After a while, Athan, Linci, and Elena could be seen sitting at the medium-sized dining table while eating.

"Thank you, Athan, for helping my daughter and saving me," Elena official thanked Athan with a gentle smile, "without you, I wouldn't have reunited with my daughter."

"It's fine, hahaha. I felt like wanting to help Linci, and so I did. Anyway, this little guy did everything, not me," Athan said with a beaming smile as he pointed at his shoulder.

Hearing that, Primo flew away from Athan's shoulder before going in front of Elena.

Linci could see Primo, but Elena couldn't, so she was confused, "who?"

"Nyahaha, it was me, Primo!"

Elena was shocked as she saw a cat appearing right in front of her and almost attacked instinctively.

'W-what? How come I couldn't sense this cat? Wait, this cat...,' Elena got even more shocked when she found how unfathomable this little cat was.

Seeing the mischievous Primo, Athan coughed and helplessly smiled while Linci chuckled.

Primo flew around Elena while speaking, "Nyahaha, even though I helped, but I did it because my master said so."

Elena was a bit doubtful as she looked at Athan and asked, "you are this...being's master?"

Athan nodded with a faint smile before saying wryly, "It's a bit mischievous."

Elena nodded as she saw Primo flying towards Linci and sitting on her shoulder now as both of them talked.

"Athan, Linci told me that you weren't born in upper-chaosverse but still managed to arrive here with that strength. Something like this hasn't happened before," Elena said to Athan with a smile, but that was just external talk because while she was speaking that, she also telepathically said to Athan using her soul sense, 'Athan, I would like to talk to you regarding Linci.'

Athan was a bit surprised but went along with her before asking, 'what is it?'

'You and your friends are her family now. She is very attached to you and told me that she and I would stay with you once you all come to the upper-chaosverse. I also agreed with her because I couldn't say no,' Elena said.

'Well, of course. Nobody in her position would want to stay in this house,' Athan said as he nodded internally.

'Right. But, Gaarshil very much regrets his actions now, and even though I am still angry with him, I want him to repent and make up to Linci. He also wants to do that, and for that, I hope you can convince Linci to stay here. Give us enough time until you all come to upper-chaosverse. Until then, I want to try making my family whole if possible,' Elena said in an almost pleading tone. She knew that only Athan could convince Linci.

Elena loved her daughter, and even though she was angry with her husband, she...also loved him. Gaarshil and Elena loved each other strongly, and that strong of Gaarshil towards Elena was also the reason for his past mistakes.

So Elena wanted Linci to understand what a father figure is and also wanted Gaarshil to become and act like a parent towards his daughter, which he also wanted.

Chapter 615 - Descend, Breakthrough! Athan's Game.

"Athan, come here soon! I will also train here and reach Evagon-realm when you ascend here with others," Linci said in a cheerful tone as Athan, and Dean Lenix stood in front of the cosmic path portal that led back to the Chaos Monolith Hills in the Midgard continent.

Athan smiled at Linci and nodded, "sure, hahaha. See you later."

'Thank you again for convincing Linci, Athan. Have a good and safe journey to Evagon-realm down below,' Elena said telepathically.

Athan nodded towards Elena before entering the portal.

Dean Lenix bowed towards Elena as well before entering the portal.

Gaarshil was not present in this cosmic portal room, but he was still watching everything.

All in all, he only felt grateful towards Athan for saving his wife and daughter both and also giving him a chance to repent to his daughter.

...

After returning to Chaos Monolith Hills, he directly went outside the central hill palace and triggered his breakthrough to Zen order Master realm.

Fifty meters around him suddenly changed into a terrifying chaotic atmosphere, causing many people to get attracted.

"Woah, that's Athan! I haven't seen him for a long time now."

"Athan? You mean THAT Athan?"

"Geez, he is undergoing a breakthrough to Zen order Master realm already. I was from the same batch as him, but I just entered Zen order Elite realm two years ago."

"Sigh, I just want him to sell his voidling-zoids again. I used to have a batch, and having them made my life easier."

"Me too."

"Me too."

...

Athan was being attacked by slashes, whips, and other various attacks by different chaotic powers within fifty meters around him.

Colorful blasts occurred constantly, but Athan had a boring look on his face as a thin film of Abyssal darkness prevented any of those attacks from harming him.

"He is still as perversely strong in his level as always. I wonder what his current true strength is?"

After thirty minutes, the breakthrough was complete as Athan let the mysterious force of Choasverse enter his void regions so that It could upgrade his Order Eidos and Chaos curtain. His soul also got bigger and stronger as he now had a higher soul energy reserve and more speedy soul recovery.

After he was done breakthrough, Athan looked at the people around and grinned as he thought of an idea.

Athan waved his hand as a hundred meters around his area, and the sixty-something people in it recovered in a sparkling colorful dome that expanded out from Athan as the center.

Many different shaped colorful crystals were floating everywhere inside the dome as they sparked and pulsed with power.

Everyone inside the dome panicked, and they felt threatened.

"W-what the fuck is going on?"

"It..It's the doing of Athan! He has always been a madman! What is he planning to do?"

"Relax," Athan's voice reverberated, "As long as you all stay inside the dome for the next thirty minutes and be my testing subjects, I will give each one of you two sets of voidling-zoids.

I will not force you to bind them like I used to have done in Void Pavilion, so it's up to you if you want to use them for yourself or sell them to earn wealth."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes sparkled as they got excited.

Seeing that, Athan grinned and continued, "During the test, you all will receive some injures, but I will heal you to brim before leaving. Also, those injuries won't be life-threatening, so don't worry."

After saying that, Athan swept his glance across all people inside the dome and said, "Those who want to leave, raise your hand in ten seconds! After ten seconds, I will start the test."

"Oh, by the way, the voidling-zoids' batches you all will receive after the test will be considerably more powerful structure-wise, and their lifespan will also be longer than the voidling zoids I sold in the past," Athan finished with a juicy bait.

Everyone looked at each other as they were excited, and none of them wanted to leave.

Many more people had gathered outside the dome as well, and hearing what Athan said, they also wanted to enter the dome and participate in the test.

"Athan! Please let us inside too."

"Lord Athan, please give us this chance as well."

"Please!"

"Supreme Delta Hyper Lord God King Athan-sama, please let me enter!"

*siiiiiii....*

The entire area turned silent as everyone looked at the person who said that last line.

Even Athan was speechless at that level of ass-sucking.

After a second, everyone started laughing out loud.

"Bruh, hahaha."

"Bahahaha, holy shit! My dragon a-s can't stop laughing out loud!" A half-dracowit humanoid person loudly said while laughing.

Everyone was laughing, and Athan also had a smile as he said loudly, "alright! I will open multiple gaps in the dome and let more people inside until hundred people have gathered inside the dome."

"Woohooo, let's go! I am coming, my voidling babies!"

"Let's go fast before the dome closes! It won't take long before it's filled!"

After ten seconds, Athan closed the dome as a hundred people gathered inside the dome.

"This dome is a basic application of my unique chaotic power that I created for my third mini-chaotic world. Those colorful different-shaped crystals will release different kinds of attacks and impair you in all possible ways. Feel free to resist them with your power," Athan said with a grin as he snapped his finger.

*shuaaaaa....*

Suddenly, the snowflake-shaped blue ice crystals with purple patterns released a burst of cold to freeze and slow everyone, light green flower-shaped crystals with pink patterns released vines with pink petals that caused everyone's order force to get jumbled and hard to control.

There were other flower-shaped crystals but with lavender and orange patterns as they released a burst of powder that spread in the entire dome, making everyone dizzy, weak, and fatigued.

There were seven more of such different shaped and colorful crystals as they released all kinds of effects that trapped and weakened everyone inside the dome.

Athan still left out two types of crystals as they only released destructive attacks, and he didn't want to injure them seriously.

This entire dome was his third unique chaotic power that he had just used basically by spreading in out and creating a dome. Athan felt that this power was a truly unique chaotic power of his because he had decomposed all structure of the existing five chaotic forces he comprehended and entirely created a unique chaotic power from them and gave it a particular use of applications to show all of their control-type and offense-type characteristics, which were none other than those differently shaped colorful crystals.

The dome itself was also a crystal and had characteristic of one of the full control chaotic power he comprehended and had the effect of releasing chaotic magnetic waves that would interfere with their order techniques. This chaotic magnetic wave only affected chaos force and order force.

Seeing the result of his new unique power, Athan was truly satisfied, "now I only need create a perfect order technique to use this chaotic power to its full potential. Oh yeah, I still have to name the chaotic power..."

Athan looked at the people struggling inside the dome and said, "After five minutes, I will create four opening gates, and everyone can leave through it. However, the last person to leave will get a special reward."

[A/N: Ahem...A minor event! You all already know roughly the kind of chaotic power that Athan created.. So, suggest your name for this chaotic power in the comment section, and If It's better than the one I thought of, I will pick it. Let's see how powerful you have become after reading my and many other novels!"

Chapter 616 - Myrcist

[A/N: Ahem...I think yall had a misunderstanding regarding the minor event. The name suggestions I got were great...as they were suitable for order technique but not for the name of this new chaotic power xD. The name of this new chaotic power should be one word long since it's that kind of name. For instance, Athan's first unique chaotic power is called Aarang. The second unique chaotic power is called Shaliot. As such, the third one should be something like that, a unique name. Still, thanks for the suggestion, and to make them worthwhile, I'll tell Athan to create a dome-type order technique suitable for this chaotic power.]

------

People were still struggling inside the dome and were being tortured by the fifty-something crystals. Naturally, the variations of the crystal inside were only 10, but there were many crystals of those ten variations.

Many thought about attacking the crystals, but their attacks went past them as if those crystals were just mirages.

"Damn! Why are these chaotic powers so powerful? I am at the peak of zen order grandmaster, but this unique chaotic power is much more complicated!"

"Could it be that he comprehended chaotic powers that are normally used by Evagon-realm powerhouses?"

"Most likely."

"The only good thing is that his chaos force, from which he used his unique chaotic power, is still at the level of someone who just broke through to zen order master."

"Yeah, that's the reason why I can remove constraints on myself by using my power but still, I am struggling as a Zen order grandmaster because of this high-quality chaotic power. He really combined his chaotic powers well to create such a perfect structured new chaotic power."

"I think I got an idea from this as well. I'll work on it after finishing here. Anyway, only we Zen order grandmasters can last longer here. The others are already leaving."

"Let's see who becomes the last one standing."

...

After Athan finished his little game to test his new chaotic power, he gave everyone who participated the promised rewards, and the last person to leave got 200,000 high-grade chaos stones as an additional reward, making everyone else envious.

After that, he met up with Dean Lenix and talked for a bit before leaving as he conjured his cloud of chaos and started flying towards the location of the special-grade chaos phenom dimension's entrance portal.

While flying, he was doing three things simultaneously.

First, a part of his consciousness was focused on flying. Another part was comprehending the next level of the cloud of chaos, and the last part was inside his third mini-chaotic world, Myrcist.

[Myrcist chaotic power]

-This chaotic power has a proper structure in the shape of crystals.

-Ten Crystals structures filled with ten different chaotic effects.

--->1. Lavenfrost crystal: Continuous chaotic freezing with petrifying effect. The frost of this effect has purple patterns as well, which will lower their defense after the enemy wears off the ice and petrification from their body.

--->2. Devil-Blossom Crystal: Releases bursts of powder that will have the effect of making everyone dizzy, weak, and fatigued.

--->3. Floret-Vine Crystal: Continuously conjures powerful binding vines to nearby enemies to trap and weaken them.

--->4. Blitzer-Rime Crystal: Releases chaotic ice-blue lightning that paralyzes and leaves frost marks on enemies, making them more prone to freezing.

--->5.Dream-Shatter Crystal: Releases a strange chaotic wave to confuse and affect the mind of enemies, causing them to birth depressive feelings.

--->6.Rage-Blood Crystal: Reacts to all kinds of liquid with lifeforce inside them, and once any of such liquid comes into five meters of its rage, it will release tiny blood motes and trace to the source of that person and induce mindless rage within them.

--->7.Lungus-Metal Crystal: Releases chaotic lasers towards the enemies, and if they block it with their power or if the lasers hit an enemy directly, a piercing metal bar will conjure where the laser hit and try to pierce the enemy further. An extreme offensive characteristic.

--->8. Reflection Bend crystal: With the presence of these crystals, It can link to other crystals and make them invisible while creating their fake appearances to confuse enemies.

--->9. Reactive Explosion Crystal: This crystal will release tiny light orange orbs with red patterns that will explode upon impact on the enemy or their attacks, releasing very powerful condensed chaotic bullets. If those bullets bleed enemies or are blocked by barriers, they will react and explode to deal more damage and shred their defense.

--->10. Magento Orch Crystal: Releases strange chaotic magnetic waves that only affect order force and chaos force. It will jumble the enemy's control over their chaos force and order force, making it harder for them to attack.

...

Athan was using his order force inside the Myrcist chaotic world and creating its essence order core. In Zen order master realm, He has to create Essence order core of his mini-chaotic worlds as the first stage.

The essence order cores would be the heart of their respective chaotic worlds, and it's such a complicated process because It must be formed in such a way that it encompasses everything and still leave room for improvement.

For instance, if Athan wishes to modify the chaotic power to add characteristics of new chaotic power he comprehends in the future, or if he wants to remove some characteristic or change chaotic power's structure, he should be able to do it. That's the work of the Essence order core. Naturally, this core has another important use in the following realms.

Athan decided to make Essence order core of Myrcist chaotic power first because it is the best out of his three chaotic powers right now. He had created it by creating his own structure of this power in the form of crystals and...more importantly, this chaotic power was very annoying, and it would obstruct people even higher level than his once he created a perfect order technique suitable for this chaotic power.

...

After a day of flying, he finally reached the entrance and stopped both of his training.

He was 10% done towards making Essence order core of Myrcist chaotic world. He wanted to do it fast, but the tricky thing about it was that he couldn't use order force from chaos stones to do this work.. He must use his naturally produced order force from his Order Eidos to form it.

Chapter 617 - Three Years Progress.

After Athan entered the special-grade chaos phenom dimension, he contacted Lady Fu to ask about their location and flew towards there.

After arriving there, he saw that everyone was sitting crossed-legged and were training to form their essence order cores of their mini-chaotic worlds.

Athan first kept his promise and blessed Zorgia with his soul power.

After he did that, Zorgia instantly burst out with a powerful aura and hurriedly flew away several kilometers away to start his breakthrough.

"So he is really going to breakthrough to Chaos-king realm, huh?" Lady Fu muttered in amazement.

Athan grinned and said, "I can see that you are also getting powerful day by day. It won't be long until you reach the peak of Evagon-realm."

"Yep. I also won't be obstructed because of your power which fundamentally changed and powered up my soul to make it a very high-quality soul. I felt like something changed, and I got a slight boost a while ago as well, but I don't know the reason for that."

"Nyahaha. It's because Master made progress in his power as well. Because of that, everyone who he upgraded received a small boost to their soul," Primo spoke while laughing.

"Oh? You mean...you made progress in your strange black and white power?" Lady Fu asked with a slight shock, 'Geez, that power was already strong, but he made more progress in it?'

"Yeah," Athan nodded, "anyway, I am also going to start training now, but I will also keep a lookout with you."

Athan could now do multitask at the next level but only four instances. For example, he could comprehend three things concurrently while doing something else entirely. He had basically created separate able consciousness and assigned them their jobs. This was the power of his high-quality soul.

In more vivid detail, there was three mini Athan-shaped consciousness were floating inside his void region.

One of the small Athan went inside the cloud of chaos and started comprehending its next level. The other small Athan started making a plan about his next essence order technique. And the third Athan was training inside Myrcist chaotic world to form its Essence order core.

...

Days turned into months and months into years as everyone made rapid progress.

In the first year, everyone finished forming their three Essence order core. Athan's cloud of chaos reached the next level as it surpassed Lady Fu's cloud of chaos and became as strong as Dean Lenix's cloud of chaos.

In the second year, Athan decided to hold practice sessions to sharpen their use of Order techniques and combat ability.

Everyone learned new order techniques and practiced hard against powerful chaos beasts in this special-grade chaos phenom dimension and also by sparring against each other seriously.

Athan did less of those training, but he created one hell of an order technique. It was a dome-type order technique that made use of all three of his unique chaotic power.

Impediment Doom-Dome of Crystalline Confinement.

The dome had strong defensive capabilities of his Shaliot chaotic power so that no one trapped inside could leave easily. The internal border structure of the dome was carved with many order patterns that each could release powerful attacks and blockages of his first, second, and third chaotic power, while there were many crystals of his Myrcist chaotic power inside the dome that were also carved with additional order sets to release different offenses of his 1st chaotic power, Aarang, on top of their original uses.

This order technique required a huge amount of order force for obvious reasons, but he can use it as long as he has high-grade chaos crystals, and he had those a lot.

Since everyone finished the 1st order stage of the Zen order master realm and also trained and practiced their order techniques and combat ability, they resumed their training in the 3rd year.

The 2nd order stage of Zen order master required everyone to enhance their soul to meet the breakthrough requirement, but everyone's souls were already powerful and were of higher quality than regular people. So they easily met the requirement and triggered the breakthrough to reach the 3rd order of Zen order master.

In the 3rd order stage, everyone needs to enhance their Order Eidos with their soul energy. The Order Eidos is the core of their powers since they contain every order set, pattern, etc., they comprehended. Without it, they would lose their order force, their chaotic worlds would be destroyed, and the benefits they receive from their order occupation would be lost as well.

They need to continue enhancing their Order Eidos until it reaches its breakthrough point and upgrades it.

Once they do that, they can also breakthrough to Zen order grandmaster.

The upgraded Order Eidos is something very powerful. First of all, It will tremendously enhance their order force and will also upgrade the chaos curtain to produce a more powerful chaos force.

Second, they can now use Order Eidos Avatar to superimpose on their soul to provide more defense and power to their soul.

Third, They can also take out their Order Eidos Avatar outside and use order techniques through it. This essentially doubles their powers. However, only confident people do this because if their Order Eidos gets destroyed, they would be a disaster.

Naturally, it's not that easy to destroy one's Order Eidos as people can take it back instantly.

...

Everyone spent their entire third year enhancing their Order Eidos and finally reached the breaking point as they could now trigger their breakthrough to Zen order Grandmaster anytime.

However, Athan told them to hold back.

"Alright, we will pause in the path of Essence order Ken for now because it's time to enhance our physical bodies. I want all of us to reach the same level of power in the path of Body order Ken as our Essence order ken," Athan said as he looked at everyone.

"Yep. Getting powerful in the path of Body order ken will also allow us to strengthen our Order Eidos. So, we can use it outside more often to increase our overall combat strength," Shiromi said with a smile.

"Alright, let's get started."
