Chapter 351 - Mighty Existences?

After Athan and others returned to their room, Athan once again started training.

" Hey, Athan! You should not have a problem reaching the target within five years so why don't you take a rest and talk with us? Let's get to know each other more. "

Hearing that, Athan opened his indifferent eyes and looked at Sen. His gaze went to the one particular thing that set her apart from humans: Her beautiful reindeer-like horns that suited her light-peach colored hairs and gorgeous face.

' Why would some people have these features? Is it because of their ancestor's bloodline or something else? '

He wanted to know about this and also why would silver plate produce cloudly flowers of different colors according to strength.

Although he was not too curious but instead of them asking questions about him, He took the initiative and asked them about those two things.

Hearing the questions, Sen smiled and said, " These horns...They are slightly related to bloodline but not entirely. You should know that creation of universes is one of the orders of Chaosverse, right? "

Athan nodded as he knew about it.

" Just like that, There are other such orders that are responsible for many things. According to the myths, These orders are set by mighty existences. The silver plate used to test body strength is inscribed with a set of order that measures physical strength of whoever that hit it. Those measure levels being colorful flowers. This order was also set by a powerful existence according to myths. These orders are like mechanism that runs many things.

My parents were pure humans, but my father acquired these horns during the training of a body order method. So, when I was born, I also had two tiny horn buds that grew like this as I got bigger.

Of course, chaotic beasts can take humanoid form once they reach a very high level, and their children are born as a humanoid with body traits of their parents. If they find human or other race partners, their body traits will be passed to their children. There are also many races like humans with their own unique features. You might also acquire special features like horns or tails while getting stronger in the future because everything is possible in Chaosverse. Some also have innate physiques that are very powerful, just like you, Athan.

Also, If you love someone, disregarding whatever race that person is, you just make that person your partner. That's why there are many people with mixed and unique features—for instance, Arcued. "

Hearing that, Everyone looked at Arcued, whose ears also twitched. But he didn't open his eyes and focused on training.

Sen continued, " Arcued's parents were exactly like him, but his ancestors were likely a human and a demon fang race. With so many people that literally everyone has their unique features, there are no such things as race discriminations in Chaosverse that lower worlds experience. Chaos, Order, Might, and Ability. These four things decide your existence and worth, Not your race. "

After Sen finished speaking, Celesti said to Athan with a grin, " Sen spoke a lot. Now it's time to tell us about yourself, Athan. "

Athan knew it was coming, but he was prepared, " There's nothing much about me. I was born in a universe and ascended to Chaosverse. I also have no family left in the world. That's all. "

Hearing that, Sen snorted and said, " Humph, I don't believe that. You look like you have some story behind you. "

Athan shook his head indifferently, " Whatever story I had is already over. Alright, now I am going back to training. "

He then closed his eyes and started comprehending the final level of the Harmony of Giant body order method.

He didn't speak about Tiana and Avelia because they would then pester him about them and ask various questions.

Seeing that, Others smiled wryly.

Sen pouted and said, " What a bummer. "

.

.

Days passed, and after twenty days, Athan finished comprehending the final level of Harmony of Giant.

But right after he did that, His body core shone as the Dawn-Break fruit's energy that was surrounding the core moved.

A bit of it entered inside the core, but despite such a small amount of energy entering his body core, The result of that was terrifying.

Instantly after the small amount of fruit energy entered the body core, The body produced a ton of blood-colored chaotic power that started to course throughout his body.

The others in the room directly looked at Athan as his body turned entirely red and gave off a powerful body aura.

Athan's body cells started to get refined by this chaotic power as they expanded after refinement.

Noticing this, Athan opened his eyes and instantly summoned his full body armor over his body.

Because if he didn't, then his clothes would be ripped apart. His body became four-meter tall, but he suppressed it from getting any bigger and stood up before walking out of the room and going to the top floor of the ship.

After arriving there, He didn't hold back anymore as his body started to expand as he became a twelve-meter tall giant.

He then started to exercise to consolidate his body strength.

Sen and others arrived here at this time.

" So Athan trained in Harmony of Giant, hmmm...This order method is a painful one. " Sen spoke with an awful expression because she knew that this method was too painful.

Erina nodded, " Indeed. But its body chaos trait is very powerful and will help him more as he gets stronger. Also, I heard that there is a pair order method for this Harmony of Giant? "

Sen nodded as if she remembered something, " Ahh...Yes. Condensation of Tiny order method. Athan can train it later since the requirement to start training in this body order method is to have the chaos trait of Harmony of Giant chaotic power. Once the chaotic traits of these two chaotic powers are in one person's body, They are combined to become one very powerful body chaos trait. But...

To train in the Condensation of Tiny order method is even more painful. It is also difficult because it's of a higher level than Harmony of Giant; He can only start to practice it after he breakthrough to Orderic Catastrophe.

Erina nodded, " But the main problem should be to get his hands on the scroll of the Condensation of Tiny order method. "

" That wouldn't be a problem if he managed to pass the final test of Chaos Monolith Hills. "

Chapter 352 - Grand Auction-1

Athan, Drizzly, Roselion, Celesti, Erina, and Shish descended from the flying ship near Gelamix Town and walked into the town.

Sen said farewell after telling him that they will meet very soon.

.

.

The grand auction should start in ten days. It starts twice a year and one time after every Penta regional tournament.

That's why Drizzly decided to go to Gelamix Town instead of returning to the Dosflame region.

Athan and others went to Roselin's shop and settled there since it was also a house.

Athan thought that Roselin would also want to buy the fruit, but when he asked about it, She shook her head with a wry smile, " Nope. If celesti became a winner like you in the tournament, Then I would've bought that fruit, but since she did not, then there's no point. She can slowly progress as she doesn't need to hurry to get strong. Instead, you should sell them in the auction and use that money to buy something that can aid in your training since you need to reach the target within five years. "

.

.

Celesti, Shish, and Erina decided to roam the town and invited Athan to tag along. But, Athan rejected them and started training.

He had finished comprehending and grasping the final level order of Aegis Starwood two days ago on the flying ship. Now, He just needs to saturate the essence core and make the fourth leaf of clover vivid by infusing chaos force inside the essence core of Aegis Starwood order ken.

He asked Roselin if he can train inside that pocket space dimension where the gravity was very high, and Roselin readily opened the portal for him.

Drizzly was also there and said with a smile, " You can train without any disturbance. After nine days, I will come there to pick you up for the grand auction. "

.

.

Athan entered inside the portal and arrived at this barren land with high gravity. But obviously, he didn't feel anything this time.

After all, His body strength is currently two realms higher than when he came here previously.

He activated chaos matrix and transformed his legs into Lightning dust before flying deep in this place.

After a while, He arrived at the place where a black rock was standing tall, and he also knew that the effect of higher gravity was due to this rock.

Athan walked towards the rock, and just when he entered the five-meter radius of the rock, He felt a very powerful gravity.

' Great. ' Athan nodded as this was perfect.

While on the ship, He didn't fully consolidate his body and just stabilized it because he wanted to finish comprehending and grasping the final level order of Aegis Starwood.

Since he knew that they were returning to Roselin's place, He figured that gravity here should speed up his consolidation process.

' If I just stand here without doing anything for five days, Then my body will be consolidated automatically due to this gravity pressure on the body. Meanwhile, I'll start comprehending and grasping the order of this method. '

Athan took out a scroll and opened it as its name appeared.

5-star body order method, Heavenly Stream pressure.

He knew that he wouldn't make much progress in just ten days, but it was better than doing nothing. His subconsciousness would infuse chaos essence into essence core to progress in that while his main consciousness can comprehend this 5-star body order method.

' But before that, I'll check out my new body chaos trait. '

The body core of the harmony of giant already disappeared after he got its chaos trait when he was consolidating his body in the flying ship.

He activated the chaos trait as he became a 12-meter tall giant. In addition to being able to make his body bigger, he can actually consume and infuse them into his body to make it stretchable.

' Let's see its limit. ' Thinkin of this, Athan infused some chaos force into his hands.

His giant hands started to stretch long as he infused chaos force, but he didn't stop that and infused more chaos force to see how long he can stretch it.

After a few seconds, His hand stopped stretching after becoming six meters long.

Athan took his six-meter long hand backward before punching forward with full power.

*Swoooosh...*

He also made a chop with this longhand into the ground, but the cracks didn't appear on the ground as the soil at this particular part around the black stone was very tough and condensed due to the constant high pressure of gravity.

He then shortened his stretched hand and decided to infuse chaos force inside his hand and feet ringers, and even neck as he found that he can also stretch any single part of his body.

' I can stretch my body, but it is still stiff since the bones and other structures just extended and bigger longer...hmmm, If I can also make my body elastic as in like a rubber, then I might be able to stretch this body even more, and it will become more flexible and more powerful. '

He could stretch his body and its part, but it was still stiff and not elastic like rubber like the fictional character he knew in his previous life at Earth.

But he felt that there should be an order method about body chaotic power like that too. He also knew from Sen that there is an order method that complements the Harmony of Giant, but from the name, It didn't seem like he could make his body elastic like rubber after training in that.

' According to Sen, I'll easily find this Condensation of Tiny body order method if I managed to get into Chaos Monolith Hills. Perhaps...I can also find a body order method that has the power to make my body elastic-like rubber there? '

After that, Athan didn't think about it as he will find out about that after passing their final test on so-called testing grounds.

He closed his eyes and used his soul sense on the scroll of Heavenly Stream Pressure as he started to comprehend and grasp the initial order of this body chaotic power.

Chapter 353 - Grand Auction-2

Celesti, Erina, and Shish were returning to Roselin's shop. In the past many days, They roamed the town and had fun.

" Why would brother Athan always think about training? He deserves some rest and enjoyment after winning the tournament. "

Hearing what Shish said, Celesti nodded and said with a sigh, " True. After returning here, He is always training. Sigh...Anyway, Today should be the time he comes out. "

They returned to the store, and Drizzly also soon arrived and entered the portal to call Athan back because the Grand Auction will start after twelve hours, and since Athan wants to sell things, He better do that first.

.

.

Roselin, Celesti, Shish, and Erina were waiting for them. After Drizzly and Athan came out of the portal, They went out of the store and started moving towards the location of the Grand Auction in the town while walking amidst the busy streets.

After a while, They arrived at the location and saw a twenty-meter tall building known as Fronva Gale Building.

The Grand Auction is going to be held inside this building.

Roselin smiled and said, " Let's go. I have already bought the tickets. " She then handed the tickets to them.

After Erina received the tickets, She looked at Reselin and asked seriously, " Sister Roselin, can you please tell me how much this ticket cost? The old lady clearly told me to pay for my own ticket so I won't back down. I know the tickets of this auction are expensive and limited. "

Roselin was going to reject but seeing the resolve of Erina, She shook her head wryly and said, " Ten mid-grade chaos stones. "

Athan was shocked hearing the cost of the ticket, and he also took out ten mid-grade chaos stones before handing them to Roselin, " I know how valuable mid-grade chaos stones are, so don't reject, please. "

Pausing here, He grinned and said, " I am going to be rich soon, so really, There's no need to reject. "

Roselin smiled wryly and accepted his ten mid-grade chaos stones before giving them to Drizzly, " Drizzly paid for you, so I am giving them back to her. "

Athan nodded at Drizzly with a serious expression.

Drizzly readily accepted the stones with a grin, " Yeah, yeah. You are already richer than me, so I'll accept these. "

Afterward, Everyone went inside the building.

After entering, Drizzly said to Roselin and others, " You all go to the main hall first. Athan and I will go there after selling his things. "

" Alright. "

Roselin nodded as she led Celesti, Shish, and Erina towards the Main Hall.

On the other hand, Drizzly and Athan walked in front of a table and asked the staff, " We want to sell some things and also auction some valuables. "

The staff was obviously a beautiful lady with a tight dress and appealing figure. She smiled at them and said, " Sure. I will call the appraiser right away. But do mind that only valuable items are allowed to be put in this grand auction. The appraiser will decide if your items are worth to be put in this auction. If not, you can just directly sell them to us. "

Drizzly nodded as she knew that, " I am aware. Would you please call the appraiser? We want to be done with this before the auction starts. "

" Sure. Wait a minute. We have many appraisers available just for this occasion. "

The lady did something behind the big table, Likely pressing a button or something that singled the appraiser to come here as, after a minute, Another beautiful lady arrived. She had a single silver horn protruding from her forehead and had emerald hair.

" Hello, My name is Kunshi, and I will be appraising your items. But before we get to the business, can you tell if your item contains big things like some flying artifact or are there only small items like pills, weapons, etc.? "

Drizzly smiled wryly and answered, " Only small items. "

They were not rich enough to afford big flying ships like Sen's master, Ayurin.

" Alright. Follow me, please. "

Drizzly and Athan followed her into a room where there were two sofas with a table in between them. There were also few drinks in transparent glass on the table.

Kunshi sat on the other side of the sofa while inviting Athan and Drizzly to sit on the sofa in front of her, " Sit here, please and take your items. "

After Drizzly and Athan sat down, Athan took out fourteen storage rings and seven storage pouches.

Seeing this, Kunshi's lips twitched slightly, but she maintained her smile while thinking internally, ' Are they hunters? It's been a while since I had to appraise the items of hunters. '

Drizzly noticed the slight change in her expression and chuckled before speaking, " We are not hunters. Athan participated in the recent grand Penta regional tournament and was one of the winners. "

" Ohh..." Kunshi revealed a surprised expression before looking at Athan. She knew that this time, many Penta regional tournaments were mixed to become a big one because of a big shot from Chaos Monolith Hills, and only the best of the best were the winners.

At this time, Athan separated three storage rings and pushed them towards Kunshi before saying, " This one contains 1-star to 5-star scrolls, this one includes 1-star to 3-star pills, and this ring contains a bunch of 2-star equipments of various grades. "

Kunshi nodded with a smile as she took the rings one by one and used her soul sense to check the contents.

After ten minutes, She put the last ring back to the table and took a deep breath before saying professionally, " As you must have known, These items can't be put into the grand auction. But I have appraised their values. Some of the weapons were damage, and armors had holes and cracked, but many of them were perfectly fine. The pills are untouched, so they are in perfect condition. According to my appraisal, the contents of these three rings are worth 958,400 low-grade chaos stones, including the storage rings. "

After saying that, She looked at other storage rings and storage pouches, " Those should be empty, right? Do you want to sell them too? "

" Yes. "

Kunshi then appraised the remaining storage rings and storage pouches, " They are of different sizes. After appraising them, These empty rings and pouches are worth 124,500 low-grade chaos stones. "

After that, She looked at Athan and asked, " Any more things to sell? "

Athan nodded as he finally took out the main dish.

A Dawn-Break fruit.

Seeing the fruit, Kunshi's eyes shined as she recognized the fruit instantly.

" A Dawn-Break fruit. They are rare. " Saying this, She smiled at them and continued, " This item is definitely worth to be put into our auction. "

" Anything more? "

" Nope. That's it. "

" So, would you like to sell the items I appraised and put the fruit in the auction? "

Athan looked at Drizzly, who nodded. After all, Drizzly should know about the prices better than him.

" Yes. We want to sell these items and put the fruit up for auction. "

Kunshi smiled brightly and said, " Great. "

She took off one of the rings from her finger and put it on the table, " Your total is 1,082,900, but this ring contains 1,100,000 low-grade chaos stones—sixteen thousand one hundred bonus on this excellent business deal. "

Drizzly internally snorted because she knew that, They would definitely earn more by re-selling those items. After all, That's how it works.

Athan looked at those fine 4-star weapons and their weapon order techniques slate inside his void region but he didn't want to sell them as he had other uses for them.

Chapter 354 - Grand Auction-3, One Food Dish Caused Chaos.

In the vast hall of the auction, There were at least two thousand people.

There was a big stage in the middle of the hall, and seats were arranged around this stage in a pyramid structure.

Additionally, At the very top, There were VIP rooms.

Athan, Drizzly, Roselin, Celesti, Shish, and Erina sat in the top three-bottom three format in the hall's local seats.

Celesti, Shish, and Erina sat in one row, and Athan, Drizzly, and Roselin sat in the second row on top of them. They were sitting in the middle rows of seats in the hall.

It was also almost time for the auction to start after two minutes.

Soon, The stage in the middle of the hall moved with some mechanism as a round gap appeared in the middle of the stage. The gap was filled by a floor that moved from the underground to the stage with a middle-aged man standing on it. His appearance looked refined and gentlemanly as he wore a suit and boots and looked pure human without any additional body features.

He had a polite and refined smile on his face as he swept his glance around the stage and half bowed with one hand behind his back, and one stretched forward, " Everyone! Welcome to the Grand Auction of the Toragale region. "

He then straightened his back and laughed before speaking, " I hope to empty your pockets before you all leave the auction. So, Let's get started without wasting any more time. "

*clap...*

The man clapped as a gap appeared in the stage in front of him before it was filled by another floor that moved from underground to the big stage.

This time, A large table appeared with many wooden boxes of different sizes on it.

" Let's start with some appetizers. "

The man opened the first small box and took out three pill bottles that contained one pill in each one.

" These three bottles contain a perfect quality 5-star pill. They are 5-star pills known as Furious-Break pills. They are used to make your pet chaos beast stronger and help it breakthrough to become a 5-star chaos beast. For your information, This pill only guarantees a breakthrough if your chaos beast is at the peak of the 4-star stage. "

" Alright. Each bottle will be sold separately, and their starting price is 300,000 low-grade chaos stones. Each increment can not be less than 10,000 low-grade chaos stones. "

Hearing the price, Athan was speechless. And this was just starting price. He didn't know what will be its final price.

" I bid 350,000 low-grade chaos stones. "

" 400,000. "

" 410,000. "

" 800,000! "

Hearing this, Everyone looked at the VIP room no.32 and shook their heads.

The auctioneer waited for a few seconds, but none of them bid anymore, " That's it? I am disappointed. It looks like you didn't come here with filled pockets. This is about getting the honor of buying the first item in this Grand Auction! "

His gaze was particularly aimed towards the VIP rooms as he said those words.

But they had no effects since no one bid anymore. Smiling wryly, He started closing the bid, " Going once! Going thrice! And...Sold! Congratulations on getting the honor of buying the first item in this grand auction, Room no.34. "

Afterward, Another gap appeared on the stage behind him, and he just dropped the bottle in that gap.

" Alright! Now onto the next bottle of Furious-break pill. "

...

Athan was surprised by the final bid and asked Drizzly, who was sitting beside him, " Is that pill really that expensive? "

Drizzly chuckled and nodded, " It is expensive because it's scarce. Generally, 4-star pills are not that expensive, but if those pills are hard to come by, then their price increases. "

" Oh...So that's the case. " Athan nodded as he understood the logic behind scarce things becoming expensive.

The next two bottles of Furious-break pills were sold for 760,000 and 740,000, respectively.

Afterward, The auctioneer opened the next box, and instantly, hot steam released as soon as he opened the box, and a mouth-watering fragrance swept through the hall as if someone blasted a bomb of fragrance.

*gulp...gulp*

*Growl!...Growl!...Growl! *

*gulp...gulp*

*Growl!...Growl!...Growl! *

People literally gulped, and their mouths got watered. Their stomach literally growled as the various stomach rumbling sound echoed through the hall. Athan was no exception, ' What kind of food is that? '

The auctioneer carefully took out a white glass dish with exquisitely prepared food on it. The dish was not that small and was slightly big. The meat was exquisitely prepared with some green veggies and toppings. There were also other small things like beans and soup cups on the dish at the side.

The food dish was covered by a mystical bubble with five small holes, and this mouth-watering fragrance was coming out from those holes.

The auctioneer put the dish on the table before he covered his mouth with a fist and fake coughed," Ahem...I'll keep it short and simple. This dish was prepared by a 6-star mystic chef that arrived here today. Let's start the bid and finish the deal before I can't hold back myself from eating it. "

" 100 Mid-grade chaos stones! "

" Go away, Beggar! 300 mid-grade chaos stones! "

...

Athan was dumbfounded seeing the crazy bids. His throat was dry, and his mouth was filled with saliva simply after he smelled the fragrance. Turning his head, He looked at Drizzly with a " what the fuck " expression.

Drizzly smiled wryly before she also held back her saliva and said, " This is to be expected. After all, The highest mystic chef in this entire Toragale region is 5-star and suddenly hearing about a food dish prepared by a 6-star mystic chef is mind-blowing. Know that there is a significant difference between a 5-star chef and a 6-star chef. "

Athan nodded because he had already seen the effect Just from the fragrance of this dish that affected the entire large hall. He could feel his guts crying for the food. The thing was that, When he tried to cover himself with chaos force and even order force to block the fragrance, It didn't work. The mystical fragrance bypassed his barriers and still wafted into his nose.

' What kind of power is this? ' He wondered as he thought about the occupations, and his interest was sparked. He knew that there were so-called order occupations in the Chaosverse, and they required more than just hard work to acquire.

Roselin shook her as she looked at the VIP rooms, who were bidding fiercely for just one food dish, and spoke, " Even if we have money, We can't buy it because a 6-star food dish can even kill me and Drizzly due to the power it contains. So, It's only for those powerhouses in the VIP room. Regardless of the mystical effect of this food, those VIPs will fight for it. "

Chapter 355 - Grand Auction-4 Master Ayurin Fooled Them?

In VIP room no.3, Sen was looking at the Food dish as she held back the saliva from coming her.

Even her master, Ayruin, was slightly affected as she couldn't help but get hungry.

" Say, Master, are you going to buy this? "

Ayurin looked at Sen and smiled before slightly tapping on her head, " Even if I buy it, you can't taste it because it's too powerful for you. I had eaten a food dish from a 6-star mystic chef a long time ago, and that had helped me greatly in my training. But due to my current strength, This food dish will have minimal effect on me. "

Sen nodded in understanding, but she still asked, " But don't you want to taste it? Just from its fragrance, I feel like its taste will be otherworldly. "

Ayurin looked at the dish and nodded as she agreed with Sen, " Indeed. Let's see. If the price is below 2000 mid-grade chaos stones, Then I will bid it for 2000 mid-grade chaos stones. If someone bid more, then I'll give up. "

Sen suddenly remembered something and chuckled, " If Elder sister Valeria was here, she would definitely buy it. "

Ayurin also chuckled hearing that and nodded, " Indeed. If Valeria was here, She would definitely buy it regardless of the bid. "

The VIPs were fiercely bidding, and the bid reached the price that made many people feel that they were dreaming.

" 800 Mid-grade chaos stones! "

" Fuck it! I'll increase it by 200. I bid 1000 Mid-grade chaos stones. "

There was a silence for a brief moment, but soon, the next bidder appeared.

" Fuck off! 1200 mid-grade chaos stones. "

" 1350 mid-grade chaos stones. "

The bids visibly slowed down, but it was still slowly going up.

After a minute, It reached 1500 mid-grade chaos stones.

" 1530! "

" 1570! "

" Screw it! I am going all in—1700 mid-grade chaos stones. "

*silence...*

This time none of them bid for a while. After all, there should be a limit, and these VIPs also wanted to buy more important things.

The auctioneer also spoke as he could not hold back, " Alright. Since I can't hold back anymore, I'll start. One thousand seven hundred mid-grade chaos stones for this food dish by a 6-star mystic chef, Going Once! Going Twice! S-"

" 1800 mid-grade chaos stones. "

A calm voice came from VIP room no.3.

The auctioneer felt like crying because there was such a heavenly dish in front of him, but he could not eat it, " Stop tormenting me, please! One thousand eight hundred mid-grade chaos stones, Going Once! Going Twi-"

" 1810 mid-grade chaos stones. "

A voice came from another VIP room.

The auctioneer felt like cursing, but he held back and spoke, " Anyone else? Room. 3? Hurry, please. "

Shish couldn't help but laugh, " Hahaha, This auctioneer is funny. Look at his expression. "

" 1900 mid-grade chaos stones. "

Suddenly, someone bid from another VIP room beside the room. no3.

But right after that, Ayruin from VIP room no.3 once again bid as she went all out, " 2000 mid-grade chaos stones. "

The auctioneer took a deep breath and adjusted his face before saying, " Two thousand mid-grade chaos stones, Going Once! Going Twice! Sold! "

Right after that, He carefully took the food dish in his hands and put it back into the wooden box with inscribed patterns.

After that, He put the box into a gap that appeared on the stage while muttering in a way that his voice echoed through the hall, " Tormenting me like this...I better tell them to put some poison in the dish before giving it to the winner of this bid. "

The audience laughed hearing that, and Ayurin and Sen, who were in VIP room no.3, were speechless.

Naturally, It was a joke.

Afterward, The auctioneer opened boxes that were 5-star pills and types of equipment like weapons and armors.

Soon, He opened a last-second box that was not that big.

Seeing the item he took out, Athan, Drizzly, and others straightened their backs.

" It's the Dawn-Break fruit, Athan. "

Hearing Celesti, Athan nodded and said with a faint smile, " Let's see how much it fetches. "

At this time, The auctioneer took out the fruit that was put in a glass container and said, " This is a rare Dawn-Break fruit! It can greatly aid in your physical body training. This fruit will greatly benefit you if you are aiming to increase your strength in a short time for some important event like...the announcement made by Chaos Monolith Hills!! I am sure whatever their final test is, This fruit will benefit significantly in increasing your strength, and your chance of passing their test will increase. The starting bid is 200 mid-grade chaos stones, Increment can not be less than ten stones. "

Hearing this, Drizzly, Roselin, and Athan looked at each other in shock.

" If the starting bid is 200 mid-grade chaos stone..." Roselin muttered but didn't continue as she shook her head while smiling wryly.

" It looks like Master Ayurin got us good. Even though we didn't know about this fruit when you showed and didn't know their real price, but..." Drizzly also shook her head wryly.

Athan suddenly felt a contact card activating and took it out before speaking.

" Sen? "

" Athan. I called to tell you that my master didn't fool you about its price. But the Auction increased its price by hyping it up due to the coming event announced by Chaos Monolith Hills. This Grand Auction is one and only in this entire Toragale region, so other winners and important people are here. They would want their relatives to pass the final test of Chaos Monolith Hills, and the auction took advantage of this fact. That's all. "

Athan understood hearing about this and nodded before replying, " Alright. Thanks for contacting us about this. "

" Hehe. You will greatly benefit if it sells at a high price. My master estimated that it would be either around 600 or 700 mid-grade chaos stones. Anyway, Don't forget to treat me to a good meal at the Star Dew Restaurant after this. "

After saying that, Sen cut off the contact.

" Who was that? "

Athan looked at Drizzly and told her about what Sen said to him through the contact card.

" I see. If that's the case, then it's understandable. "

Drizzly and Roselin nodded after hearing the explanation.

" Now it remains to see how much this fruit will sell for. "

They focused on the bids as they were increasing rather slowly.

" 380 mid-grade chaos stones. "

" 390 mid-grade chaos stones. "

" 410..."

" 440..."

" My last bid, 500 mid-grade chaos stones. "

*silence....*

The auctioneer swept his glance before speaking, " That's it?! Alright! It looks like the people are rather stingy. Anyway, I'll once again remind you that this can increase your chance to enter Chaos Monolith Hill!

It's Chaos Monolith Hills which is on the same level as other Ancient powers like the Great Bridgade Palace and Boundless Pavillion. This could be once in a lifetime chance for those who meet the requirement to take their test.

After all, Who knows when they will hold this kind of recruitment process again? "

" 510 mid-grade chaos stone. "

" Humph, Even without your speech, People understand the importance of joining an Ancient power. 550 mid-grade chaos stones. "

Athan, Drizzly, Roselin, Celesti, and others were internally hoping that the bid increases even more.

Chapter 356 - Grand Finale, Mind-blowing Phenomenon.

[ A/N: By the way, I suggest reading the two new auxiliary chapters I published. You will gain much clarity of the story and status of Athan after reading that. I will also be updating them as the story progresses. ]

----------

" 580 mid-grade chaos stone for this extremely rare Dawn-Break fruit! Going Once! Hey, hey, This is a rare chance, and this fruit came in a timely manner for those aiming to join Chaos Monolith Hills. You won't get another chance like this in the next five years. Going Twice! And...Sol-"

" 600 mid-grade chaos stones! My final bid. "

Hearing that, The auctioneer smiled and looked at VIP room no.7, " Alright! That gentleman up there bid 600 for this fruit! Anyone else?...600 Going Once! Going Twice! Sold! "

...

" Hahaha, Brother Athan! That's double the fruit's original price. You've struck it rich. "

Shish excitedly spoke. Celesti, Drizzly, and others were also smiling.

Athan nodded with a faint smile, " Timely Windfall. I'll see if I can buy something useful with the 600 mid-grade chaos stones in the auction. "

The auction continued for hours after that as many powerful and valuable items were auctioned one by one. For instance, Accessories with powerful effects, Eggs of rare chaos beasts, and two epic grade chaotic spirits, An item appeared that could increase the order base, but its price was way out of Athan's budget.

Near the end, Every single thing was sold for the price of 10,000-20,000 mid-grade chaos stones.

" Finally! It's time for the grand finale. "

The auctioneer clapped as the tables were swapped from underground as the floor moved, and two wooden boxes with silver inscribed patterns appeared.

The auctioneer walked towards the big wooden boxes that were two meters tall and one and a half meters wide.

He took out two rectangle papers with weird patterns inscribed on them with black ink and stuck them to the boxes.

After a second, The paper and the patterns on the box shined for a few moments.

After they stopped glowing, The auctioneer floated in the sky, opened the boxes with his hands, and took out two paintings.

But he didn't grab onto the canvas of painting but a transparent blue-colored square barrier that covered the two paintings.

After he put them properly on the stage one by one, He stood beside the paintings and took a deep breath before saying, " Many of you must be confused about these paintings. After all, things like these paintings are rare and generally would not appear in weaker areas like ours. "

" Hurry up and remove the barrier! I can't wait to see a glimpse of their power. "

Hearing this shout, Many people were confused and looked at VIP room no.4.

The auctioneer smiled and looked at VIP room no.4, " Please have some patience, sir. Even though only you VIPs will fight for this painting, It's my duty to give its introduction to the audience. "

" Anyway, These paintings are mainly for those Zen Order Grandmasters as it will help them breakthrough and also acquire a mystical, wonderful, and powerful chaotic power.

Now onto its introduction, You all must be aware of how we train using order scroll, right? These paintings are similar to order scrolls but very high leveled and mystical. These two paintings are two unique worlds themselves, and once Zen Order Grandmasters infuse their order force inside the paintings, They can experience its true wonders. For now, Let's just have a glimpse of the painting's power. Whatever happens next, don't panic and stay calm. "

Hearing this, The audience became even more confused.

" Drizzly, Do you know what this is about? "

Athan asked Drizzly if she knew something about the paintings, but she also shook her head with confusion, " Nope. But Zen Order Grandmasters are two entire orders higher than even the strongest person in our region. So these paintings are definitely a big deal. "

" Look, The barrier is disappearing after that auctioneer stuck another two papers on the first painting's barrier. "

Athan and others looked in the front as they saw dreamy blue barriers around the first painting disappearing.

Before the barrier fully disappeared, The auctioneer spoke one last time in a serious voice, " This first painting's name is Astral Deep of Starry River. Now, Whatever happens next, do not panic and stay calm. The phenomenon will only last for a minute, and try to see its wonders instead of panicking. "

Athan saw the last spec of barrier disappearing, and right at the moment when it happened, Everything changed.

The scenery literally changed in front of him as the auction hall disappeared. Instead, He found himself in a Mystical place that was filled with glowing blue starry rivers flowing everywhere around him.

He saw beautiful fishes with starry blue wings flying amidst the rivers. There were many different kinds of beautiful fishes, both big and small, and with different colors of glowing blue shades.

Athan looked around, but there was no one around him. Everything was a starry blue world around him with many things that were in various shades of dreamy blue color.

Suddenly, He saw a river coming at him with many fishes.

Athan put his hands in front of him instinctively but then realized that this must be an illusion, so there was no need for it.

' But what a realistic illusion, I can clearly feel that the atmosphere has changed, and I am also feeling energized. '

At his moment, The river came crashing onto him and...swept him along with it.

Athan was shocked as he got washed up along with the river, and he could clearly physically experience it, ' What's going on? Is it...not an illusion? '

He could feel fishes hitting him and the starry water of this river that took him along with its flow.

*Crackle...*

Suddenly, Athan saw starry blue clouds and lightning bolts appearing in the starry blue sky.

His expression turned grave because those beautiful-looking starry blue lightning looked like the most dangerous thing he had seen aside from that space filled with abyssal darkness where he died.

But right at this moment, The scenery changed once again as he found himself sitting in the auction hall, without moving even a bit from his seat.

Uproar appeared in the auction hall as people started talking about what just happened.

Chapter 357 - Returning To Dosflame Region.

The auctioneer covered the starry blue world painting filled with rivers, clouds, fishes, etc., in a blue barrier using the paper inscribed with black patterns.

But before he could continue speaking, Those VIPs start bidding.

" 50,000 mid-grade chaos stones. "

This first voice came from VIP room no.1 that was always silent and didn't bid on any previous item.

Hearing the price, The audience turned dead silent, and then the heated bidding started.

" 55,000..."

" 58,000..."

Sen's master, Ayurin, also started bidding, " 62,000 mid-grade chaos stones. "

" Master, What is that painting? "

Hearing the question of Sen, Ayruin smiled, " It is something that will help me breakthrough. "

Sen pouted and said, " Can you tell me more about it? I had never seen a world like that blue painting showed me. It was truly mystical. "

Ayurin chuckled and shook her head, " That was not even that world's true self. The world that everyone here saw was just created by the slight aura exuded from the painting after the barrier was removed. But, the real world of that painting is terrifying. "

Pausing here, Ayurin shook her head with a wry smile before continuing, " Unless you are a Zen Order Grandmaster, You will instantly die if you experience the real world of that painting. "

Sen was shocked to hear that.

Ayurin patted her head and spoke with a gentle smile, " There are many secrets in this Chaosverse. You have just started your journey, and to be honest, What you've known so far is not even 1% of the real Chaosverse. "

Sen snapped out of trance and asked confusedly, " Real Chaosverse? "

" Yep. Real Chaosverse. If you managed to get into Chaos Monolith Hills, you might be able to go to real Chaosverse sooner than me. "

Sen became even more confused, " I don't understand. Is master trying to go to the Real Chaosverse? "

Ayurin wryly smiled because it was too soon for Sen to know about such things. But, she still told her briefly, " These so-called Ancient powers like Chaos Monolith Hills, Boundless Pavillion, etc., have their main bases in the real Chaosverse. That's why I am saying that you might be able to go there in the near future despite not becoming as powerful as me. "

" Wait...wait, Master. What and where exactly is the real Chaosverse? "

" That's a secret for now. But, you will later know about it after entering the Chaos Monolith Hills. For now, Focus on getting stronger. "

After saying that, Ayurin bid one more time, but the price was getting higher and higher, " 74,000 mid-grade chaos stones. "

" VIP room no.3 has bid 4000 more. The price has reached 74,000 for this first painting! Anyone else? "

After a brief silence, VIP room no.1 finally bid a second time as a deep voice rang out from the room.

" 80,000. "

And so, the bids continued.

" 84,000..."

" 88,000..."

Previously, Those VIPs made an increment of 2000. But now, it actually increased as they started to add at least 4000 mid-grade chaos stones every bid.

...

While the bidding continued, Some people stood up and started to leave.

" Let's go. There's nothing to see anymore. "

" Indeed. I'll look around in the shop opened by this auction and see if there's anything good. "

" Sigh...That's the only choice. I couldn't get my hands on anything I liked in the auction. "

Roselin also stood up and said, " Let's leave too. Now it's only a VIP show. "

Drizzly nodded and stood up before saying to Athan with a grin, " Let's go and eat at a good restaurant here before we leave for Dosflame region and returned to our organization. "

...

Athan, Drizzly, Roselin, Celesti, Shish, and Erina left the building, but they saw someone familiar standing with crossed hands at the entrance.

Sen saw Athan and others coming out and walked towards them with a smile, " I knew that you would leave auction soon. So, I also left early and waited here. "

She then looked at Athan and grinned, " Yo, Rich-man Athan. It's time for a treat. "

Celesti and Erina looked at each other and chuckled.

...

They all went to the Star Dew Restaurant after walking for a while.

The restaurant had three floors and was quite big with artistic building design. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was peaceful and calm with the serene fragrance of natural mystical pot plants.

After sitting at the dining table, Athan looked at the Menu and was slightly stunned for a moment.

' Hmmm...It's manageable. So the price and food are categorized by the order base of the people. '

In the Menu, he saw categories like Tier-1 order base, Tier-2 order base, Tier-3 order base, Orderic Catastrophe-Phase 1, Phase-2, etc...

Under those categories, The foods dishes were listed.

Athan took this chance and asked about Drizzly and Roselin's strength.

Drizzly casually said, " I am at the Phase-3 of Orderic Catastrophe. "

" Same here. " Roselin smiled.

...

After an hour, Everyone came out with satisfied faces.

" Hehe, That was a good meal. Thanks, Athan. Anyway, I'll see you later at the final testing grounds of Chaos Monolith Hills. Good luck and Bye. "

Sen left after that while Athan, Drizzly, and others returned to Roselin's shop first.

From there, Drizzly and Athan said farewell to Roselin, Celesti, Erina, and Shish.

" Brother Athan. I wish you good luck in your future endeavor. I believe that you will definitely pass no matter how difficult their test is. " Shish spoke with utmost faith.

Celesti, Roselin, and Erina also wished the best for Athan.

Afterward, Athan and Drizzly went out of the town by walking. After exiting the town, Drizzly summoned her chaos beast that practically started whining while also glaring at Athan.

But with no other choice, It had to obey Drizzly and let Athan sit on it.

" Humph. " Beodroke could only snort.

While flying, Drizzly asked, " So? How much did the food cost? You refused to show us the bill, but I could guess from the dishes we order that it must have been a lot. "

Athan faintly smiled and said, " Not as much as I expected. The total was 148,000 low-grade chaos stones. Anyway, Earning money is easy, so no worries. "

" Yeah, yeah. It's easy for you. Mr. Athan. "

Chapter 358 - Celebration! Hidden Dragon Troupe, Gathered!

Drizzly and Athan finally returned to the Youhan Tree organization after ten days of traveling.

But the atmosphere of the organization appeared different to Athan. It was more jovial, and he even saw people celebrating while walking with Drizzly towards their Hidden Dragon Troupe's base inside the Youhan Tree.

Drizzly appeared to have guessed something and smiled and said, " It looks like she returned with good news from her side too. "

" Who? Also, did some good things happened to the organization?"

Athan asked with confusion.

" Yep. You will know soon. The rest of the members should be gathered there already. "

...

Athan and Drizzly went through their base's pocket space branch door and saw an ongoing celebration.

All members of Hidden dragon troupes were gathered at this time.

Yone, Tronel, Chunshi, Joza-Eile, Aakerin, Leib, Samira, Drizzly, Shiromi, Athan.

After entering, Drizzly smiled and congratulated Shiromi, " From the looks of things, You won the tournament too. Congratulations, Shiromi. "

Shiromi was a pure human, but she was the most beautiful here. She had long, beautiful white hair and dreamy blue eyes that also had shades of white inside her iris. Her skin was fair, also like a marsh mellow, and there were two pink shades on her cheeks as her mood was currently happy and festive. Her height was 5.8 ft, so she was a tall beauty and cut out a perfect and gentle figure.

She wore a white dress with blue and emerald designs with exquisite patterns. A happy and cute smile formed on her face after hearing Drizzly, " Thank you, sister Drizzly. "

" Hahaha. Everyone, Let me formally introduce you all to our newest member. "

Yone walked forward with a glass of wine in his hand while laughing before he introduced Athan to the rest of the members.

" You've already met Tronel, Chunshi, Eile ( Joza-Eile ), Aakerin, and Leib when we went for that mission. "

Yone smiled and said before he looked at Samira, " That's Samira. She is the wild big sister of our group and almost as strong as Tronel. Also, She is overprotective of our cutest member Shiromi. "

*Clank...*

A glass came hurling towards Yone and hit his head before it broke and covered him in the wine, " Humph, Who are you calling wild big sister? That title goes to Chunshi, not me. "

Samira was also beautiful with dark-peach-colored skin and a sexy figure. She had long light brown hair and similarly brown eyes. She was not a pure human as she had a tail and tiger-like fluffy ears.

Yone wryly smiled as he wiped his face and said to Athan, " Well, You got the prime example of the wild big sister. "

Others laughed out loud while Samira felt speechless before smiling wryly. She looked at Athan and smiled, " Don't listen to Yone. He just likes to spout rubbish. Anyway, I heard about you from others, Athan. Welcome to our family. "

Afterward, Yone pointed at Shiromi and laughed, " This is Shiromi. Our cutest member of the group. The cause of everyone's celebration is her because she won the Penta regional tournament and acquired the chance to join Chaos Monolith Hills. "

Shiromi smiled courteously towards Athan, " Hello, Athan. Welcome to the troupe. I also heard about your unique physique and how wonderful it is. Let us spar when we get a chance. "

Athan nodded with a faint smile, " Sure. "

Afterward, Athan, Smira, and Shiromi exchanged their contact cards so they can contact each other in the time of need or for any other thing.

At this time, Leib the lazy asked, "Athan also went to the Penta regional tournament, right? Drizzly told us about it three months ago. "

Aakerin chuckled as she asked, " It's impressive how Athan could win the competition despite being Tier-1 order base and got the chance to participate in the Penta regional tournament. "

Drizzly internally snickered because she had yet to tell them about Athan's latest news and how he also won the tournament.

Though she gave a hint about it when she congratulated Shiromi, none of them noticed it.

" Oh yeah, Athan. What is your current strength? We can't check it ourselves due to your unique body physique. " Joza-Eile asked as he put a barbecue stick in his octopus-like mouth.

Athan let out his body aura, chaos, and order force as everyone sensed his strength and became surprised.

" Hahaha. That's impressive, too impressive, Athan! You've almost hit the peak of the Tier-2 order base. It looks like all left is the saturation of the last stage. "

Tronel dragged Athan to eat and drink with others while Samira moved towards Drizzly and said, " Hey, Athan looks gentle and fair, just like our Shiromi. They make for a nice pair, don't you think? "

Drizzly rolled her eyes and thought, ' Gentle and nice? That's the furthest words to describe Athan. '

Athan felt that they were nice to him while also avoiding the topic of the tournament.

He slightly turned his head towards Drizzly and revealed a confused expression.

' It looks like Drizzly did not tell them about my news. But why are others avoiding it? Wait...could it be that they assumed that I would fail, and since Shiromi won the tournament, they might have thought I was feeling down and were avoiding that topic? '

Athan wryly smiled internally but didn't blame them. After all, He was just a few years old without much experience and not support, so it was normal for them to think that he failed.

In the first place, Yone sent him with Drizzly to broadened his horizons. It was already a big surprise for them when he won the competition at the Gelamix Town.

At this time, Shiromi and Samira arrived towards Athan.

" It's our custom that we gift something to the new member. Here, This amulet from me. It will protect you from one attack of anyone who is lower in strength than me. "

Samira took out an amulet from her storage ring and gave it to Athan.

On the other hand, Shiromi glanced at Yone as if she was asking for some permission.

Yone nodded with a smile.

After seeing that, Shiromi took out a pill bottle that contained one pill and gave it to Athan with a smile, " This is from me. I have concocted this pill, and it will help you progress in your order base. "

Athan took the pill bottle with a doubt, ' Help progress in order base? That's...'

He had heard that it's difficult to make pills that can help increase in order base and needs extremely rare ingredients. But most importantly, One needs to comprehend the true order of Alchemy to do that.

Generally, After comprehending and grasping the order, which is the most difficult part of progression, One needs to saturate the core, which is a tedious and long process. The saturation process is not complicated as one just needs to infuse chaos force constantly. ( This is only about Tier-1 to Tier-3 order base. )

But the problem here was that your own order ken cores couldn't be infused with any other chaos force besides those produced by you. That's why the pills that can aid in those progressions are rare.

' It seems that Shiromi has some secrets. From what I know, She has a unique soul physique and was an Alchemist. But her Alchemy talent is simply mind-blowing if she can already concoct pills like this. '

Athan thought as he looked surprised at Shiromi. He then thanked her.

Suddenly...

" Cough...." Drizzly coughed loudly and attracted everyone's attention.

Chapter 359 - Double Celebration! Weapons!

After attracting everyone's attention, Drizzly adopted a series of expressions.

Seeing this, Everyone waited for Drizzly to speak.

" About Athan's results in the tournament...Don't you all want to know about it? "

Hearing the question, Yone, Tronel, Chunshi, and others turned a bit awkward.

" Idiots! He won! He became one of the tournament winners, just like Shiromi, and got the opportunity to enter Chaos Monolith Hills. "

*Silence...*

Yone, Aakerin, Samira, and others became wide-eyed with shock before they all looked at Athan to ask if Drizzly was not just pulling their legs.

Athan nodded with a wry smile as he took out a black card with golden patterns on it.

Seeing it, Shiromi cutely squeaked slightly and also took out a similar card, " It's same as mine. "

With a wide smile, She looked at Yone and others, " Sister Drizzly is right. Athan also won the tournament like me. "

" HAHAHA!! This is double happiness! "

Yone guffawed loudly in joy.

" Boss! We could become the supreme rulers of this region if both of them managed to get into Chaos Monolith Hills. "

Tronel and others also couldn't contain their excitement.

Everyone then congratulated Athan too.

" It looks like you are not any less talented than our Shiromi. " Samira punched Athan's shoulder with a grin.

" Hahaha. Bring more food and drink. I gonna tell the good news to my two brothers. They will also be shocked to hear that. "

Yone spoke as he went inside one of the buildings in this pocket space branch.

" Tell Reikent about this news too, Boss! "

Tronel shouted towards Yone, who replied back, " Hahaha. True. That idiot would also be overjoyed. After all, He was the one who found Athan. "

...

After a few hours of celebration, Tronel, Yone, Reikent, Leib, Smira, Chunshi, Joza-Eile, and Aakerin let themselves be drunk.

Meanwhile, Athan, Drizzly, and Shiromi were on another side as they talked to each other about the tournament and Chaos Monolith Hills.

Athan found out that Shiromi was just one step behind before using the card and going to the testing grounds of Chaos Monolith Hills.

She was a peak-stage Master order elite, Meaning that, She just needs a slight push before she breakthrough and enters Orderic Catastrophe from peak Tier-3 order base.

At this time, Athan took out nine glowing weapons that exuded extraordinarily glows and shocked Shiromi and Drizzly both.

" Athan. These weapons... Where did you get them?! Wait...Could it be from the tournament's CPD? "

Hearing Drizzly, Athan nodded with a smile, " Yep. It was from a chaos phenomenon town, and there was something like Wonderland Hunt. Many competitors entered that place and became animals, including myself. There were restrictions in many of our techniques due to our bodies, but in the end, I got the last laugh along with all treasures. "

He then also took out the nine rough-looking square slates, " These slates are the weapon order techniques of these weapons. "

" Weapon order techniques! They are super rare. There was also a chaos phenomenon in my tournament where I also got a weapon order technique and an Elite Accessory. " Shiromi gasped and said.

Drizzly looked at Shiromi in a surprised manner, " You struck it big, Shiromi. An Elite accessory is helpful to you even if you can't use its full power currently. "

Shiromi smiled modestly hearing that.

At this time, Athan asked, " Drizzly, Do you know the grades of these weapons? Their aura feels similar to a high-grade 3-star weapon of Reikent that I saw when I went with Reikent to a store, but it's also giving me a different kind of feeling. "

Hearing that, Drizzly smiled wryly, " Of course, These are not high-grade 3-star weapons. But instead, They are High-grade 4-star weapons. They are currently in a sealed state. That's why you can't feel their true power. Once you reach an Orderic catastrophe, You will be able to unseal them by simply infusing your order force in them. "

But after that, Drizzly asked with a doubt, " But You are not going to use all these weapons, right? Why didn't you sell them at the auction along with their weapon order techniques? Just so you know, The value of these weapon order techniques is even higher than the weapon themselves. They would definitely net you thousands of mid-grade chaos stones. "

Naturally, Even Athan became wide-eyed after hearing that, " That valuable? I knew that Weapon order techniques were rare but didn't know they had this much value. "

Shiromi and Drizzly looked at each other and wryly smiled.

" Anyway, To your question Drizzly, I didn't sell them because I thought about showing them here and if anyone wants one, then they can take it. "

Athan spoke seriously. Yone and others had taken good care of him and also helped him. If Reikent didn't found him and gave him this chance, then he wouldn't have progressed this far. Being able to give something in return is the least he can do.

He then looked at Shiromi, " You can take the sword since you have the Sword weapon order technique. It will be very beneficial in the upcoming test of Chaos Monolith Hills. The pill you gave is also valuable and will help me greatly. So, you don't need to hesitate about it. "

He pushed the sword with a jade handle with a red gemstone and silver blade towards her.

Shiromi's lips curved as she smiled cutely and nodded, " Then I will not stand on ceremony. "

Afterward, Athan looked at Drizzly said with a faint smile, " You can also pick your preferred weapon. "

Drizzly grinned and shook her head, " These weapons are actually useless to everyone in our troupe except for you and Shiromi. As for the weapon order techniques. I will take that lance weapon order technique. "

Drizzly didn't stand on ceremony either and took the slate of lance order weapon technique.

But Athan asked doubtfully, " You said you are in Orderic catastrophe...."

Drizzly interrupted him with a smile while shaking her head, " Yep. But I will soon break through because of the thing I got from Roselin in return for helping her. I have saved my stash of money and material that I've been saving for Elite weapon after I breakthrough. "

Chapter 360 - Breakthrough. Tiana And Avelia.

" What about Reikent? I don't know about his strength, but since he custom ordered a 3-star weapon, then he should be able to use one of these. "

Athan asked as he looked at the drunk Reikent with others on the other side.

" Maybe? He is also at the peak or near the peak of the Orderic Catastrophe. Also, That 3-star weapon was probably his side weapon since he uses dual blades. He also has a weapon order technique of his own about Dual blades. "

At this time, Shiromi gave a suggestion, " Anyway, Why don't you ask Mr. Reikent if he wants a weapon? If not, then..."

Pausing a bit, Shiromi curved her lip upward in a tiny grin, " I suggest that you sell these weapons and their order techniques at the testing grounds of Chaos Monolith Hills or any upcoming grand auctions. These things should be hot commodities now due to the Chaos Monolith Hill's recruitment event. You will earn a lot of money through them. "

" Yep. People will take anything that can increase their strength before the final test so they can have a better chance at passing and joining the Chaos Monolith Hills. "

Athan nodded as he agreed with them.

...

The next day, Athan asked Reikent if he wanted any weapon, but Reikent smiled and shook his head, " Nope. My main weapon already is a high-grade 4-star weapon, and I am also close to elevating to Zen order soon. Also, You might have heard that if you managed to pass and enter the Chaos Monolith Hills, The organization behind you will get a grand reward, right? "

Athan nodded as the Envoy mentioned this.

"Those grand rewards will be enough to make us the number one power in this region. So, the only thing the organization expects from you is to pass, which will benefit us greatly. 4-star or 5-star weapons are nothing compared to that. "

" I see..." Athan nodded his head in understanding.

After talking for a bit, Reikent left to do his own things.

Yone also disappeared somewhere while other members of the Hidden dragon troupe were inside their own houses.

Athan also returned to his house near the riverbank before sitting down on the mattress.

He took out a pill that Shiromi gave him and popped it into his mouth.

A violent, dark blue-colored energy gushed inside his body before Athan directed it towards his void region.

After that, He directed that energy towards his essence core of Aegis Starwood order ken.

As if that violent energy found its target, It infused inside the core as Athan felt his power increase slowly.

The fourth leaf of clover started to turn vivid, and more order force started to produce inside his order base.

After an hour, The essence core saturated after the energy of the pill entered inside it. The fourth petal of clover also turned vivid completely.

Athan calmly waited as the essence core started shining.

After a while, The essence core started to crack and broke apart into countless glittering emerald and silver-colored pieces and gathered to become an order symbol.

This symbol had an eccentric silver pattern on a green background surface. The green base created an image of a tree trunk. The silver patterns were on top of this tree trunk, but they didn't have a particular shape.

But just like previously, He brought this symbol towards his Chaos Matrix before taking out some of the milky white aurae.

He had already comprehended and grasped the order of Aegis Starwood Chaotic power. With that understanding, he turned the milky white aura into an emerald crystal with a silver pattern.

' Alright, The catalyst is finished. '

He then controlled the symbol and pushed it towards the crystal. The symbol entered inside the crystal he created and merged with it.

Aegis Starwood chaotic power's crystal, Completed. No one in the Chaosverse would have thought that something like this was possible.

After that, Athan connected this Aegis Starwood chaotic power's crystal to his Chaos Matrix.

After taking a deep breath, He activated the Chaos matrix as the Aegis Starwood's power appeared at one side of the pyramid. This started the one-time process of the fundamental transformation of his body.

All of his cells started to transform into pure Aegis Starwood chaotic power.

Athan calmly waited while bearing the pain that did not pain to him anymore.

After this one-time transformation is over, He will be able to transform his body into Chaotic Body-Aegis Starwood.

Since he could transform his body into literally chaotic powers using his chaos matrix and control that chaotic power better and more powerfully, He decided to name it as Chaotic Body.

After an hour, The transformation was over.

Since the transformation process was over, He was still in his Chaotic Body-Aegis Starwood's form.

Although he already knew about the primary properties and power of the Aegis Starwood chaotic power since he had comprehended and grasped its entire order, He still did various experiments while his order base was in the process of breakthrough to Tier-3 order base.

There are four primary properties of Aegis Starwood.

First, This emerald-silver power is Solid. Very solid and tough. In his Chaotic body form, His body will become extremely tough and hard to damage. Naturally, If he gives the nature of Aegis Starwood to his defensive order techniques, They will also get a boost in defense and solidness.

Second, Self-Recovery: Athan can recover from damage and injuries as long as he has enough chaos force. ( Now he can consume chaos force into Aegis Starwood since he got the Essence chaos trait of it. )

[ A/N: I have mentioned this previously, but I'll tell again. Before acquiring the chaos trait, They can only transform chaos essence into that chaotic power that is useless in battle. But...The chaos traits allow one to change their Chaos force into the said chaotic power. After all, Chaos force gets stronger as people progress, so these chaos traits would always be helpful in many situations and also the main source of battle power for everyone as they keep getting stronger.

While using order techniques, They can give it the nature of chaotic power using chaos force ( instead of measly chaos essence) to make it stronger. ]

The third property, Healing: This is different than self-recovery. Self-recovery means, He can only self-recover something that is related to Aegis Starwood. For instance, If he had a hexagonal shield-looking defensive order technique and gave it the nature of Aegis Starwood, then If there are any holes or cracks in this shield, It will self-recover to a specific limit even if he doesn't consume any chaos force.

But...Healing means that He can also heal others with this. Normally, People with this power would heal themselves too. But in Athan's case, Since he can transform his body into Aegis Starwood, self-recover also applies to him. So with healing, self-recovery of Aegis Starwood, and His natural-body healing factor, Athan is unkillable as long as he doesn't die in one shot or runs out of chaos and order force.

The fourth property, Tight-structured: The Aegis Starwood chaotic power, is more tightly structured internally. Even if its outer part is broken, It's a mass of solid structure that is hard to break internally. That's why powers with penetration or similar attacks are not good against Aegis Starwood chaotic power. Naturally, Once Athan transforms his body, His internal structure also becomes tougher and solid, and it will be hard to injure him severely.

...

After Athan finished his breakthrough to the Tier-3 order base, He saw the four-leaf clover broke apart and turned into a blue force as it entered inside his Chaos Grinder before upgrading it.

Now, The chaos force he produces will be even more powerful.

After that, He looked inside his order base and saw an outline of another four-leaf clover.

He sensed that the new producing order force inside didn't change much, and it didn't become more powerful like what happened when he broke through to the Tier-2 order base.

When he broke through to Tier-2 order base, His order force had major change as it became way more powerful. But after breaking through to Tier-3 order base, His order force remained the same.

' No wonder...So that's why It's being said that the difference between Tier-1 and Tier-2 order bases is larger than the difference between Tier-2 and Tier-3 order bases. '

Athan thought about it, and it made sense. But still, His Chaos grinder upgrade and his chaos force had a major change as it became more powerful. On top of that, His order base, which was a transparent crystal, became bigger, so his reserve of order force increased by at least three times than previously.

This way, Those who are at Tier-3 order base are still more powerful than Tier-2 order base since the reserve of Order increase, and with more powerful chaos force, Their order techniques also become stronger, and they can last long in battle with their big reserve of order force.

After finishing his breakthrough, Athan started to consolidate his order base.

But while Athan was consolidating his order base and will be comprehending the next order method to train more and become powerful, Something more interesting was happening at the Training program of the Great Bridgade Palace.

Tiana and Avelia had a nervous expressions on their faces as they looked at each other.

" Why did they call us here? Do you have any idea? "

Avelia asked Tiana, But Tiana also shook her head, " No Idea. But we did hold back and just entered the placements to pass the test in the tournament. As per our plan, we didn't stand out much. So, I also have no idea why they did call us here. "

Both Tiana and Avelia were currently standing in a vast hall that was built by some mystical white material. The design of this hall was aesthetically beautiful, and there were many plants.

But the hall was also bearing a certain kind of pressure on them. That's why they were nervous.

Chapter 361 - Reunion.

At this time, Tiana and Avelia were facing an old man with a long white beard and white hair.

He had a kind expression as he asked with a smile, "Do you know why you two were called here? "

Avelia and Tiana looked at each other before looking at the man and shook their heads, " We don't know. "

The old man waved his right hand as a silver light enveloped them, and they disappeared from the hall.

...

At another place, Mike and Qerin were sitting in an open courtyard building in a garden. Besides the garden, this place had lots of different trees, a pond with fishes, and the sky filled with white clouds.

Three blue, glowing spheres in the sky were behind the clouds as they showered a gentle but bright blue light that illuminated this place.

Suddenly, The old man, Tiana, and Avelia appeared inside the garden. Mike and Qerin directly saw them as they were startled, but soon, a smile blossomed on their faces.

" Tiana, Avelia! We finally meet again. " Qerin rushed out of the small open-air pavilion building and arrived in front of Avelia and Tiana before hugging them.

Mike also greeted them, but suddenly after that, He had a weird feeling inside him. It was as if something was missing. But it lasted for a second, so he ignored it as the old man coughed to gather their attention.

" First, You can call me old man Rufes. Second...Let's sit down and then talk. "

Tiana and others who seriously listened almost fell to the ground hearing his second thing.

Smiling wryly, They entered the pavilion and sat down.

Old man Rufes caressed his beard as he looked at with a kind smile and nodded, " Good. Now for a reason as to why you four are here. First, I will ask you some questions. You can answer them if you want to or not if you don't want to. Though, If you are going to answer, then I want a truthful answer. Anyway, These questions are not the main reason I am here, so don't worry. "

Tiana, Avelia, Qerin, and Mike nodded.

"The first question, Where are you from? Your birthplace? "

Tiana and others were surprised by such a simple question, but they nonetheless answered.

Qerin spoke on behalf of others, " I am from Chaosverse while Tiana, Avelia, and Mike are from a Universe. "

The old man slightly frowned hearing their answer, but then he smiled again, " Alright. Now the second question, have any of you heard of Orchos Firmament? "

" Orchos Firmament? "

Tiana and others revealed a confused expression hearing the term.

" We have not heard of such term before. "

Tiana and others shook their heads.

The old man Rufes frowned and thought, ' This is not making any sense...Anyway, I'll straightly ask them. '

Clearing his throat, He once again smiled and asked, " Then...you should have surely heard about Genome powers, right? "

Hearing this, The expressions on the faces of Tiana and others turned stiff.

The old man noticed it and waved his hand before smiling, " No need to be nervous, Hahaha. I know everyone here thinks your genome power is some kind of innate Physique, but I know what they are. But considering that you don't know about Orchos Firmament and are even from the universe makes this whole matter strange. "

The old man waved his hand as he bought out a tea set and cups from his storage space or ring and poured a cup of tea for each of them.

" Drink this and Relax while I tell you something about the genome powers. "

Tiana and others were slightly nervous, but they picked up the cups that floated in front of them.

The old man Rufes nodded with a smile seeing that, and spoke, " Frankly speaking, The genome powers are not something that you can use at your current strength and existence. As for how you can use it, It's outside of my knowledge, so it's very shocking to me. You might have filled your respective genome tree's third branch, but I doubt you can progress more with your current level, Am I right? "

Tiana and others were surprised as to why old man Rufes knew about their condition, But They nodded in agreement.

" Yes. After we went to the genome dimension realm and got more power, We can't make even the slightest progress in the fourth branch. "

Hearing that, Old man Rufes sighed in relief with a smile, " Hahaha, That's natural. After all, You four do not actually meet the requirement to train in genome power. Honestly, It's a miracle as to how you were able to start train in it and even fill its third branch. "

After that, The old man Rufes asked how they were able to train in Genome power.

Hearing that question, Tiana and others looked at each other before Tiana spoke on behalf of others, " We can't say anything about it. "

" Alright. It's fine. " The old man waved his hand with a smile, " Forget about that topic. The genome powers originate from Orchos Firmament. But since you don't know anything about it, then it's useless. Now, the main reason as to why I am here.

First, I am also not from Orchos Firmament, but I know someone who is from there, and I can also use genome power. "

After saying that, The old man showed his index finger and pointed it upward before brown energy with yellow glowing stripe patterns on it appeared.

Tiana and others instantly felt that the nature of this energy was similar to their own genome energy.

The old man smiled and put away that energy before speaking again, " I am from the headquarters of the Great Bridgade Palace, which is situated at the Upper Chaosverse. I came here for my usual observation and decided to take a look at the ongoing tournament. As a genome power trainer myself, I easily sensed its energy from you when your passive genome abilities were activated. "

Hearing that, Tiana and others were startled to hear many new things like the upper Chaosverse and how the old man turned out to be a very big shot.

They also became even more nervous.

The old man noticed it and smiled, " Don't worry. Nothing will happen to you. But, you four don't need to participate in this program anymore. I told the Branch Master here to allow four of you to join the Great Bridgade Palace without revealing your secret. After all, He can't reject me. "

He then stood up and waved his hand as they were enveloped in a silver light before they disappeared and appeared in the previous vast hall.

" Your secret is safe with me, and from now on, you are official members of Great Bridgade Palace. But you still have to work hard and survive here to reach the Upper Chaosverse. You won't get special treatment just because I let you join the Great Bridgade Palace. Instead, You will face some difficulties, I think...hahaha. "

Avelia and others became speechless. Tiana's lips twitched a bit before she asked with a wry expression, " Can we just proceed regularly like others and not join the Great Bridgade palace directly? "

Avelia, Qerin, and Mike also nodded in agreement with Tiana.

But the old man Rufes laughed and shook his head, " Nah. I am lazy to do that. You are joining the branch here and work hard to survive and become stronger. Once you reach the Upper Chaoserse, I will take you as my pupils. "

After saying that, He disappeared, but his voice reverberated in the hall, " After leaving the hall, A person will be waiting outside, and he will take you to the branch of Great Bridgade Palace. Good luck, kids. "

Chapter 362 - Doubts And Answers.

While other members of the Hidden dragon troupe were busy with their own things, Athan was peacefully training.

In a month, With his superior comprehension ability, Athan comprehended and grasped the initial order of essence order method: Force of Glittering River.

[ The nature of this chaotic power: Force of Glittering River, will be displayed in the next chapters, where Athan will use it in battles. ]

The energy of the pill that Shiromi gave him infused inside his new essence core that looked water blue with glowing black patterns over it and almost fully filled it.

The first petal of four-leaf clover also became almost fully vivid, and he received a ton of order force.

Now, Athan needs to infuse the essence core with chaos force for a few months, and he will be able to saturate it.

He let his subconsciousness do this work as the chaos force started to infuse inside the essence core to fill it.

While letting his subconsciousness do this work, He continues to comprehend the Heavenly stream pressure body order method, which he paused since he first wanted to progress in the essence order ken.

Because he knew that once he starts training in the body order method, He will make continuous breakthroughs since he still had 99% of Dawn-Break fruit's power left inside his void region. All he needed to do was to comprehend and grasp the next-level orders of this body order method. As for filling its body core and saturating it? It will be done by the fruit's power quickly.

But before he started to comprehend and grasp the order of Heavenly stream pressure, He took some of the order force and chaos force before infusing them inside the epic-grade chaotic spirit egg.

He had done this daily since getting this egg. Each day, The egg would glow, which would indicate its feeding time. In this feeding time, Athan would have to infuse chaos force and order force inside the egg until it stops glowing.

Today was the same as the egg glowed, and he started infusing chaos force and order force inside it.

After a minute of feeding, The glow subsided. Seeing that, Athan didn't pay any more attention there and took out the scroll of Heavenly stream pressure.

But suddenly, He felt some moment inside his void region and once again looked inside.

Surprisingly, The egg of the epic-grade chaotic spirit started glowing. But this glow appeared different than its usual glow.

Athan saw three symbols of red, blue, and pink patterns highlighting the egg.

While observing the shining symbols on the egg's surface, He was startled to find that the egg actually started to get bigger.

Previously, It was 1.5 meters in height, but after growing for a few seconds just now, the egg's height increased to 2 meters.

But after that, the symbolic patterns stayed on the egg's surface even though its glow subsided.

He observed it for an additional hour in the hope that it would hatch, but that didn't happen.

' Hmmm...Even though it didn't hatch today, It's definitely close to hatching since such changes occurred. '

He then ignored the egg and focused on comprehending the Heavenly stream pressure.

...

After twenty days, Athan felt that he was closing to comprehending and grasping its initial order to completion.

While taking a short break, He looked at the progress of his essence core and was shocked.

Too little.

With a deep frown, He thought, ' My subconsciousness is constantly infusing the chaos force inside the essence core according to the core's absorption rate of chaos force. But...even though I am almost at the saturation point after the pill's use, It didn't progress much in these fifteen days...What's going on? '

His progress should be faster than normal people because he can instantly produce chaos force through his Chaos Grinder. At least, that's what he believed until now.

But seeing the current situation, Five years won't be enough for him to reach the peak of the Tier-3 order base...Let alone breakthrough from it and reaching the Orderic Catastrophe, which is the requirement before he can use the black card of Chaos Monolith Hills.

' If this is the case with me, Then how would other people progress? '

Athan stood up and left his house before taking out the contact card of Shiromi and asked her, " Are you still in the pocket space branch? "

" Yeah. Do you need any help? "

" Yes. "

...

After a while, Shiromi and Athan met at the riverbank outside of Athan's house.

They sat down on a trunk stool of a tree.

" So? What kind of help do you need? "

Athan had thought about some questions, So he asked, " I wanted to ask about a few things. But before that, I'll tell you my situation. I don't have Maelstrome of chaos like others, but it's a different thing that works similarly to it. I call it Chaos Grinder. "

Shiromi was startled hearing and smiled, " Interesting. Is it due to your unique physique? "

Athan simply nodded as he did not want to bother explaining everything, " Yeah. It's related to my unique physique. Anyway, The thing is, I am able to produce chaos force instantly after my Chaos grinder absorbs the chaos essence. But according to the rate at which my essence order ken is progressing, I don't think I will be able to reach the peak of the Tier-3 order base without any external aid. "

Hearing that, Shiromi nodded as if it was given, " That's normal. "

" Normal? "

Athan was confused, ' If it is normal, then how would I or others reach the peak of the Tier-3 order base and breakthrough in five years? '

He expressed this doubt to her, and Shiromi became surprised hearing that. But soon, As if she realized something, She chuckled and tucked a lock of her white hair behind her ear before speaking, " I think I understand what you are trying to say. It's been only a few years since you arrived in the Chaosverse, and all of your time was used on progressing and getting stronger.

Long story short, The Maelstrom of chaos upgrades after every breakthrough. With each upgrade, the chaos force it produces becomes stronger, and its speed of chaos force production also increases. "

Athan nodded with a thoughtful expression, " That's supposed to be the case from what I generally know. But since My chaos grinder is different, then all I experience from this upgrade with each breakthrough is that the chaos force it produces becomes stronger. I don't know what's the case with Maelstrom of chaos. "

Shiromi stood up and waved her right hand towards the pond to create a maelstrom of water.

Athan looked at it and was surprised because this Maelstrom of chaos looked totally different from what he initially saw in the scroll that Reikent gave him.

This Maelstrom looked bigger, had a more complex structure, and also more purifier blades of chaos.

Shiromi looked at Athan's expression and smiled, " As expected, you don't know about it. Anyway, Producing chaos force instantly is given when one achieves the Tier-3 order base. As for your progress of essence core and body core...Naturally, you don't expect that you only need to sit here and infuse your chaos force in it, right? That's not how you train. "

After saying that, She stood up and told Athan to follow her.

While moving towards the exit, she said, " Normally, You should have known about this after you breakthrough to Tier-2 order base. But you were alone at the competition after winning and just progressed by yourself from Tier-1 order base to Tier-2 order base with the ready-made reward you got from winning the competition....Drizzly told me that it was a meta-aerodite pool? Hehe, you are very lucky to get that as a reward. "

" Is it that rare? "

Shiromi rolled her eyes at that question, " Of course, it's rare. There was no such luxurious reward in the regional competition in which I participated prior to joining the Penta regional tournament. "

Both of them then left this pocket space branch before they descended downward inside the big tree's internal space that was filled with vine paths.

After they descended to the very base of this tree, Shiromi took Athan took in front of a wooden building from which many people were going in and out.

There was a slight commotion seeing Shiromi as everyone got excited and congratulated her. But Shiromi shooed them away after saying that she is busy.

" Let's go inside. I'll show you how one trains after reaching the Tier-2 order base. You missed this part since you were busy with your activities right after reaching the Tier-1 order base, and after that, you practically progress from halfway of the Tier-1 order base to Tier-3 order base using ready-made resources that are hard to come by. "

Athan nodded as she was right, " But where exactly are we going? "

" Naturally, We are going to a chaos phenom dimension. "

Shiromi and Athan arrived in front of the build and showed their tokens to the booth before entering.

Chapter 363 - Chaotic Body. Training-1

Inside this big hall, There were three doors that seem to lead to three more halls.

In the middle of the hall was a single round working desk in which the staff worked.

Shiromi and Athan walked towards the desk before Shiromi said to the staff, " Two entries to the C grade chaos phenom dimension. "

The staff was a humanoid tree person. ( like Groot ). He politely smiled at Shiromi and said, " Mrs. Shiromi. I will register your name. " He then looked at Athan and asked, " As for this gentleman's name? "

" Register him as Athan Void, Tier-3 order base. "

" Alright. Have a safe trip. "

After their names were registered, Shiromi and Athan went to door no.1 and entered another hall.

But this hall had a big cloudly portal, and twenty or so people were just standing in the hall in their small groups while talking.

People there recognized Shiromi as they got excited and congratulated her.

After all, She got the opportunity to join the Chaos Monolith Hills, and if she managed to get in, the entire organization would benefit greatly.

Though no one recognized Athan because...First, He was new, so he had very little activity inside this region. Second, The news about Athan winning the tournament was also not disclosed because of Yone and the other two leader's decisions. The reason for this secrecy was that if other organizations heard that not one but two people from the Youhan Tree organization got the opportunity of Chaos Monolith Hills, they might join hands together and take drastic measures to suppress Youhan Tree Organization.

Shiromi also shooed the people away, saying that She was busy and had to practice for the future tests of Chaos Monolith Hills before hurriedly entering the portal with Athan.

After they went inside, Other people started to discuss about Athan.

" Who was that boy with her? "

" No Idea. But he looked handsome. Don't tell me Miss Shiromi and he..."

" Humph, Impossible. She won't take a random person as her partner. To me, It seemed like they were relatives, Like a brother or cousin and she was just helping and teaching him. "

" Mhmm. That's possible. "

...

After Shiromi and Athan entered inside the portal, They appeared in barren land that was dark brown. The soil was dark brown and filled with cracks.

The sky had two glowing yellow spheres that illuminated the place with its light. But there were also dark spots in them that were clearly visible to anyone.

Shiromi looked around and sighed, " This Chaos phenom dimension is dying. There are fewer wild, chaotic powers inside now. Anyway, Let's go and find one because it's the main thing required to train. "

Suddenly, Dreamy white wings appeared behind Shiromi's back. They looked like swan's wings but bigger and taller. They didn't have feathers but were glittering with white and blue energy.

She then looked at Athan and asked with a smile, " Can you fly? Generally, you need a flying type order technique, but our organization hasn't had any more scrolls of flying type order technique for a while now since they are hard to come by. Even if leaders brought them to other places here, members of the organization instantly grab them since everyone wants a flying type order technique. "

Athan nodded as he knew about flying type order techniques. There were many such flying-type order techniques that could also assist in aerial attacks, defense, and control. He had seen such scrolls in the library after he won the competition. But he didn't need such flying-type order techniques.

" I don't have such techniques, but I can still fly. " After saying that, His transformed his legs but still maintained the physical appearance externally.

He then naturally started floating due to the nature of lightning dust chaotic power.

Seeing this, Shiromi narrowed her eyes as she looked at the legs of Athan. After a few seconds, A confused expression appeared on her face, " This...What's going on? "

Athan faintly smiled and answered as he floated even higher to be on the same level as Shiromi before he consumed some chaos essence to shoot himself forward fast.

Shiromi was startled, but she chuckled and also zoomed forward with her wings as she caught up to Athan.

" So? what's the deal with your unique way of flying? "

Athan answered while flying, " It's my unique physique. I can transform my body into the essence chaos trait I get. "

Shiromi was shocked to hear that as her eyes widened, " That's sounds powerful! "

Athan suddenly paused in flight which made Shiromi speechless as she also paused and returned back to Athan since she flew forward for a few moments because she didn't expect that Athan would suddenly stop.

She saw Athan with his head down as he seems to be thinking something and asked, " What happened? "

Athan looked at Shiromi and internally nodded, ' This is a good chance to check out my Chaos body and know how it works. '

After thinking about it, He transformed his entire body into Chaotic Body- Lightning Dust and floated in the sky with no physical structure but a mass of lightning dust chaotic power in a humanoid form.

Shiromi impressed, ' This unique physique looks like it would boost Athan quite a lot in various ways. '

Suddenly, She heard Athan's voice, " Can you attack me with some of your order techniques? I want to check something. "

Shiromi was surprised to hear something like that suddenly, but before she could ask why, Athan said, " Don't ask anything and just attack. "

Speechless, She nodded, " Fine. Suit yourself. "

She waved her right hand in a circular motion that created a wriggling water ring with purple sparks and then palmed forward the ring.

*swoosh...*

It flew fast and hit the Chaotic body of Athan as a hole was created in his chest. The ring was wider than Athan's body, so when it hit him, His body actually separated with a hole shape in the middle. Seeing this, Shiromi slightly panicked, but soon, She saw the hole filling up, and Athan's body recovered to what it was before as if nothing happened.

Athan felt his chaos force rapidly draining when the hole was created, and from his vast reserve of Chaos force in his Umbrella Storage, forty percent was instantly consumed to fix his Chaotic body.

Athan faintly smiled before nodding at Shiromi, " Thanks. It seems that Chaos force is consumed to fix this Chaotic body back to normal. "

Of course, He also felt the real pain when the ring made a hole and cut him into two. But that was of no concern to him. Fortunately, Athan didn't say this to Shiromi...Otherwise, She would think that Athan was pulling her leg and joking. After all, How could he act just fine as if nothing happen despite his body separating into two with his entire chest gone?

" How much chaos force was consumed to fix that much damage? "

Athan wryly smiled while shaking his head, " A lot. But this was just for testing. While fighting, Naturally, I would use defensive order techniques to defend myself and not with my chaotic body. "

Shiromi nodded after crossing her arms, " Well, you better do that and don't defend with this transformed chaotic body. Because...Look behind you. "

Athan raised his eyes in doubt but looked behind him.

He saw the ring that Shiromi released a hundred meters away, and it was still floating.

" This is the real power of the technique. Watch. "

Athan heard Shiromi's voice from behind him as she snapped her finger.

Right at the moment, A violent force of blue and purple released from the middle of the ring before turning into a giant crackling ball and shooting forward another hundred meters before blasting.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOM.....*

The area of thirty meters where the orb blasted disappeared, but the area glittered with dangerous blue and purple aura.

Seeing this, Athan was speechless, but his eyes showed slight excitement as he grinned, " Now that's interesting. "

He then turned around and said with a laugh, " Once more. Attack me with that order technique. "

This time He transformed his body again, But into Chaotic Body-Aegis Starwood.

Aegis Starwood was pure defensive, chaotic power, unlike the lightning dust, which was pure offensive chaotic power.

Shiromi slightly frowned and asked, " Are you going to defend without using any defensive order techniques? "

Athan nodded but casually waved his hand, " Don't worry. This chaotic body is from Aegis Starwood chaos trait. It's pure defensive power, and I can increase my outer and internal defensive even more by consuming chaos force. "

Hearing that, Shiromi thought of something and chuckled, " Might as well fight each other and have a good spar. I will not hold back and attack you, so you should also use your defensive order techniques while in that chaotic body form. I'm sure your power is boosted when you are in your chaotic body form. In turn, You can also attack me. "

While forgetting their main purpose of coming here, They started to spar each other as they hurled their order techniques at each other while also defending and dodging.

The people who were near their place of fighting in this Chaos Phenom dimension sensed the energy waves and arrived there.
