The Tale of the Void Emperor-Novel

Chapter 503: Athan's Plan.

Inside Athan's void region...

A small mass of voidpulse was floating in front of Athan (naturally, his consciousness, which takes the form of himself inside his void region)

As Athan used the knowledge he gained by inspecting and researching the kuriazak fruit, the voidpulse slowly turned into Kuriazak fruit's shape.

Slowly, the fruit came into being, and after thirty minutes, a brand new kuriazak fruit was created.

Athan still marveled at this mystical use of voidpulse.

The fruit was palm-sized with a considerable mass and power inside it, which roughly cost Athan 20% of his voidpulse.

'Hmmm...to perfectly shape and infuse my knowledge into voidpulse to create the fruit takes thirty minutes, and I need 20% of my voidpulse...' Athan fell into thought as he started calculating and thinking about another plan.

The whole conversion process went like this: A fully stored reserve of his abyssal darkness used to devour chaos stones until it becomes empty produces enough voidpulse to fill in the 60% reserve storage of voidpulse.

And it takes one hour to completely recover his abyssal darkness, which means that he can continue to make two Kuriazak fruits every hour.

After all, it takes thirty minutes to create one fruit that requires 20% of his voidpulse while one hour to get 60% of voidpulse.

'Every hour two fruits so forty-eight fruits in one day. Wait...I need to see if this fruit works or not first.' Athan suddenly thought as he had yet to verify if this fruit would even work or not. He was feeling that something was missing in the fruit but couldn't pinpoint it. But he left it at that and focused on creating more fruits to test them.

As such, an hour passed before he created three more fruits and flew towards the empty hill before eating the four Kuriazak fruits he made.

He didn't know if these fruits had some special connection with Chaosverse or not since the effect of calling out catastrophe was that mystical. Although he believed that the fruit's effect of consolidating order base and body strength would work 100%, he was unsure about its effect of shortening the time to call catastrophes.

Taking a breath, Athan ate four fruits one by one and closed his eyes.

After a minute, Athan sensed...

Nothing.

'Indeed...,' Athan sighed.

Opening his eyes, He stood up and flew deeper into the cloudly plain while calling Dean Lenix, and he needed to talk to him.

...

"So? What did you want to talk about?" Dean Lenix asked as he moved his fingers as cups and kettle floated in front of him, which poured himself and Athan some tea while he leaned back on the comfortable couch.

"Can you take me to a place where the Kuriazak fruits are produced?" Athan asked directly without beating around the bush.

"Oh? Well, let's go then." Dean Lenix directly stood up before speaking with a smile.

Athan was surprised that Dean didn't ask him about the reason, but he won't bother asking about such a thing to Dean as he also stood up and followed the Dean.

Both of them flew deeper into the cloudly land before they went towards a hill range called Herb Garden Hill range.

Many people were surprised to see Athan flying beside Dean and started whispering.

...

After entering the Herb Garden Hill range, They entered inside a beautiful and naturally made palace of mystical vines.

Everyone inside the palace bowed and greeted Dean.

"Take me to the place where you are growing Kuriazak fruits," Dean asked the Palace master directly.

The palace master respectfully bowed before he nodded and led them towards one of the portal doors.

After entering, Athan saw a vast field of two meters tall trees with dreamy blue and orange patterns.

But the surprising thing was that each tree only bore a single fruit.

"As you can see, those trees of Kuriazak only produce a single fruit in one cycle. Now I won't ask you why you wanted to see this place, but I can't allow you to take the fruits here because the resource management hill center manages their distribution, and they are not my property but whole Chaos Monolith Hill's property." Dean Lenix said with a smile.

Athan faintly smiled and nodded, "I'm aware. I just want to take a look and check something."

Athan could feel a mystical power in the tree, and it felt exactly like one related to calling the catastrophes by shortening time. He indeed felt something missing in the fruits he created but couldn't pinpoint it. Now that he saw trees, he understood.

The fruits plucked from the tree maintained a mystical connection with trees, and once someone ate the fruits, the tree was doing the work of calling catastrophe for the person who ingested the fruit.

And there was no such connection found on his fruits because he didn't research the tree. In the first place, He didn't understand the faint connection in the fruit's power, so the fruit failed from the start.

'I wanted to break through fast by creating fruits, but it doesn't matter now. Instead of wasting time on researching the tree, I should go with my second plan, which will let me hit two birds with one stone.' Thought Athan before he turned to Dean.

"Thank you for bringing me here. I saw what I wanted to see." Athan said with a nod.

"Hahaha, I see. Then let's return."

After Athan and Dean left, the palace master was dumbfounded, 'The Dean brought him here himself just because that kid at orderic catastrophe wanted to see Kuriazak trees? What the hell...'

...

Athan returned to Efyeed and stood in front of the first white stone marble with his Runic brush in his hands.

He had decided to go with his ambitious plan to invent something brand new.

At this moment, Athan didn't know that the thing he was planning to create would cause uproar through the whole midguard continent.

"Linci, I will be in absolute focus mode, so don't let anyone disturb me," Athan said with a smile while his eyes had a fire of excitement.

He closed his eyes and used his soul sense to observe as he put his brush on the white marble stone.

'This is going to take some time, but...hehehe, It will be worth it.'

The most beneficial thing was that he managed to absorb all knowledge from the book that was lent to him temporarily by Master Lornell.

Athan knew that in this journey of creating his things, he would advance in the path of Runic Artist by several stars, but he just wasn't sure how many layers of runic patterns would require him to create the thing he had in mind.

Those who can do two layers of runic patterns to conjure Runic Arts are considered 2-star Runic Artists, and their brush also upgrades once they are able to do that.

This goes until one is able to do five layers of runic patterns at once and become a 5-star runic artist. But after that, the requirement to advance in the path of Runic Artist becomes extremely tough.

Taking a deep breath, Athan started carving golden patterns on the white stone marble with absolute focus.
