The Tale of the Void Emperor

At this moment, Athan and others were discussing something.

" So, What do we name our team? " Sen asked.

Tealery thought for a moment and spoke, " How about Team Riot? "

" Nah, That's short and plain. " Sen shook her head.

Shiromi seemed to have thought of something and spoke, " How about Team Prima Alphas. It sounds cool, right? "

Hearing this, Everyone looked at Shiromi with surprise. They didn't expect that Shiromi would come up with such a name with her personality.

But no, Her suggestion was rejected.

Arcued thought for a moment before his eyes lit up, " How about Team Void Dwellers? "

" Void Dwellers? Sounds unique. " Tealery stated with a thoughtful expression.

Sen chuckled and nodded, " I am okay with it. It sounds like we are dwellers of the void. "

Shiromi also smiled as she didn't have any problem with it.

But Athan was slightly speechless because this name was obviously based on him and rejected the suggestion, " Umm...Let's choose another team name? "

" Then you suggest a name. " Sen crossed her hands and asked while raising her eyebrows.

Athan thought for a moment and suggested, " How about Team Order Breaker? "

" No. "

" Sounds boring. "

" Another, please. "

Athan wryly smiled before he gave out another suggestion, " Then how about Team Chaos Bringer? "

" Oh, please. This sounds too boring and plain. " Tealery rolled her eyes before continuing, " Let's just go with Void Dwellers. Everyone agrees with me, right? "

Nobody had a problem, and everyone agreed to have their team name as Void Dwellers.

Just as they were going to the envoy for registration, A person walked towards them.

He appeared strong and muscular. His face was not a human but a furry beast that looked similar to a tiger head. He had dark blue skin with light blue patterns. His forehead had a single horn with veins on it as the veins faintly glowed with lightning blue effects.

There was also a tail behind his back that also cracked with faint blue lightning.

Arriving in front of Athan and the group, he grinned while showing his canines and asked, " Hello, My name is Theo Bazilt. You can call me Theo. Anyway, The reason I approached you is to join your team. Hehehe, So... Can I join your team? You are already five people, so why don't you add one more to make a full team? "

Sen asked with a doubt, " Why our team? "

" Before answering that, I'll tell you all about myself. I am from an ancient clan that has been here for a long time. Many of our Ancestors even went to Upper Chaosverse after reaching the limit here. Unfortunately, We were losing hope about Upper Chaosverse because none of our ancestors came back or even contacted us back. "

Taking a short breath, Theo continued as Athan and others listened with a curious expression since it was about Upper Chaosverse.

" We were starting to think that Upper Chaosverse is a perilous place with no return and only doom awaited us if we go there. But everything changed eight thousand years ago. One ancestor contacted us and told us just one thing. [ The world beyond this Chaosvervse is mystical and perilous. If you are unambitious and just want to live plain life until your lifespan runs out, then stay there and don't come here. ] "

Theo laughed after speaking that with excitement gleaming in his eyes, " Who would want to stay here when there is a higher, more powerful world awaited us that is both mystical and perilous. In the first place, We can't make progress after hitting the wall here. So if we want to get stronger and live longer, we can only go to Upper Chaosverse. "

" Anyway, After that ancestor contacts us, something changed about our clan. People of our clan started to be born with unique abilities related body. And when I was born, I also had something unique about me. "

Pausing there, Theo's eyes changed. One could see a faint tiger-like beast head made of blue lightning inside his eyes.

Sen, Telaery, Athan, and others were slightly surprised seeing that.

" I was born with a unique ability related to my eyes. Apparently, This eye power is known as Lightning Predatory, and It has gotten a lot stronger over time since it first appeared. "

Saying this, Theo looked at Athan with a grin, " My eye power can mark someone as prey for me so that I can hunt that prey. I won't go into details of this power, but when I tried to mark you, I felt a threat to my life.

Now that is strange because...Hahaha, I can be considered one of the most powerful among people present here since I reached Orderic Catastrophe four years and six months ago and have made great progress since then. Surely, there must be people powerful than me here, but the threat I got from you after marking you was as if I marked someone of Zen order powerhouse. The threat was direct, ruthless, and with no hope of me surviving. This is the reason I want to join your team. "

Hearing everything that Theo said, Sen and others were surprised but felt that it was expected after hearing about Theo's eye power.

Arcued stepped forward with a broad smile and patted Theo's shoulder, " Hahaha, Not bad. You are talented. To know the greatness of Athan already makes you superior above everyone else here. "

Theo was speechless while Sen, Tealery, and Shiromi wryly smiled.

' Sigh...' Athan wanted to facepalm himself hearing the blabbering of Arcued, ' Just what happened to him that he changed like this? Is it because I helped him break through? But it sounds a bit too stretched if that's the only reason...Something must have happened. To change the core personality like this, it should have something to do with his soul, and the only thing I did was to provide pure soul power to his soul. Hmmm...Maybe that should be the trigger that made him like this. '

Shaking his head, He stopped thinking about it since it was a good thing. He could feel pure loyalty from Arcued. This was something like...If he shared any kind of his secret with Arcued and by chance, Arcued got caught, then with his current loyalty, He would rather kill himself or do something to his own soul such that he won't speak out his secret.

Naturally, there wasn't any secret to be shared since Athan didn't have any valuable thing on him. But he definitely appreciated someone like Arcued, who borderline worshipped him if he wants to create a power that stands at a peak.

" What do you think, Athan? Do we let Theo join our team? " Shiromi asked Athan.

Athan looked at Theo with a grin before speaking, " You look like someone who has a tough will and rock-solid determination. How about I test you a little? "

" Bring it on! " Theo laughed as he took a weird stance as if he was going to pounce on someone, " Don't mind this stance since It's my habit. "

He knew that since the fight was not allowed here, Athan would test him in some other way, but this stance was just his habit, so he instinctively took the stance of fighting.
