The Tale of the Void Emperor

Several days passed as the news about voidling-zoids also spread everywhere through Sun-Moon news scrolls.

Dean Lenix also constructed the Void Pavilion beside Efyeed and put up a big formation around the whole area.

Inside the big formation, Athan formed a field barrier of abyssal darkness.

"Take this. If you take out this token, this field barrier will react to it and open a small gap for you to pass through," Athan said as he gave everyone a token that looked like a white bubble but with black stone inside it.

The Nimpere brothers, Tiana, Avelia, and Linci, nodded as they took the tokens.

"Sen and others should be coming out soon too. Hehe, they will be surprised with the changes and your voidling-zoids," Linci said with a chuckle.

Athan nodded and smiled, "And our five-year period will also end.. Once it's over, we'll go to my first home in this Chaosverse."

"Youhan Tree, right?" Tiana gently smiled as she said, "I also want to meet them."

Avelia also nodded, sharing the same sentiment as Tiana.

Tiana and Avelia knew that they helped and took care of Athan. They wanted to meet those people who considered Athan as part of their family.

After all, despite not being their fault, they still felt sad and guilty about forgetting Athan and imagining how he lived.

...

After talking about some things, everyone started training and practicing.

Athan sat down crossed-legged as he started forming the initial stage of [ Soul Miller Raiser ] soul order method.

The most brutal elite soul order method. Athan had read warnings and facts that came with this scroll, but he still decided to buy it because...those meant nothing to him.

He had already suffered the pain of scattering his soul, and so far, he didn't encounter pain that surpassed that hellish moment that seemed to last for eternity.

Compared to that, this [ Soul Miller Raiser ] was a baby. As he had already comprehended the initial stage of the method, He just had to use his order force, soul energy, and chaos force to form the Soul Miller according to the order sets he comprehended and grasped.

While he was forming soul miller, the void grotto was doing its work to produce Voidling-zoids.

There was a mountain of low-grade chaos stones near Void grotto, and his abyssal darkness would consume those stones constantly while recovering and producing voidpulse with the instructions of his subconsciousness.

...

A day passed before Athan finally formed the Soul Miller with white blades with golden patterns.

Without wasting time, He started training his soul, 'Hmm, I'll just set Millar upon the soul. That way, my soul will constantly be training without me needing to do anything.'

If someone saw the way in which Athan used the terrifying Soul Miller to train his soul, they would not be dumbfounded but straight out lose their shit and wet their pants.

The way Soul Millar worked was to scrap the soul with its blades, but during that scrapping, it would enchant the soul with Soul Miller's properties.

The effect of that Enchantment was to unbind the soul from some of its shackles to let Chaosverse feel that the soul had "almost" died.

With that "almost" dead state created by Soul Miller, the soul would deeply connect to the Chaosverse because all souls that die are returned to Chaosverse.

And once that connection happens, The soul would start to receive pure soul empowerment and strengthening from the Chaosverse.

As such, this method was considered the fastest method to strengthen the soul until one reaches Zen order Master.

But...the consequences were terrifying. First, the scrapping of the blade would inflict immense pain to the soul, and the person would constantly be in pain. Additionally, the "almost" dead state of the soul would overwhelm the person.

With that "almost" dead state, they would constantly feel that they are going die and feel illusionist death pull from the Chaosverse. If they can't overcome the death in their mind, they will die for real with that hellish pain and the overwhelming pressure from the connection with Chaosverse as the Chaosverse will really pull their soul.

But what Athan did was that...he put the Soul Miller on his soul to let it constantly get scrapped and receive soul empowerment and strengthening.

As his soul started to scrap, Athan felt a mysterious connection. It was threatening, overwhelming, and...scary.

Athan saw a dreamy but chaotic cloud forming on top of his soul inside his void region.

He knew that it was the illusion created by the side-effect of using Soul Miller.

But he boldly arrived in front of the cloud with a grin on his face and a gleam in his eyes.

"Get.The.Fuck.Out," Athan said as he punched the dreamy and chaotic cloud.

The cloud disappeared since it was just an illusion, and he had to overcome it despite it exuding an overwhelming threat of death and a terrifying pull on his soul.

As for the pain that was constantly occurring due to the Soul Miller scrapping his soul? That didn't even bother him.

If there were someone else besides Athan, that person wouldn't even be able to see that illusionist cloud since their soul sense and consciousness would be too focused on the hellish pain occurring to their soul. As such, while feeling the overwhelming threat of death and pulling along with pain, they would die for real once they gave in and lost their will. Once that happens, Their "almost" dead state would be considered a "complete" dead state, and Chaosverse will really pull their soul.

As Athan looked at the Soul Miller scrapping his soul, he muttered, "The person who created this method must have felt death or should have died before coming back to life."

After a minute, He frowned slightly, 'What was that? Hmmm, That order set, it seems its working perfectly to strengthen my soul, but there's more to it.'

After thinking for a moment, Athan put it in the back of his mind since he felt no threat from it and finally decided to use his Orderic Orb and increase his strength.

'After this, my SBP should reach or even cross 100,000.' Thought Athan as he looked at the Orderic Orb and controlled it before bringing it towards the chaotic mini-world of Miz-Lu Enchanted Kingdom.

...

Somewhere in the upper-Chaosverse, A giant castle was floating in the dark sky that was filled with bright crystal-like stones that were glowing in different colors.

Inside the castle's main palace, an old man with a white beard was sleeping on his throne.

There were other people inside the main palace as well, and they were looking at several screens that displayed many people of different and mixed body features but generally humanoid, fighting against dark beasts with golden patterns on them.

Suddenly, The old man opened his eyes, 'Another one? But this one seems different. I can't sense the fear or terror and this person even...hoho, Interesting...It looks like this one will succeed in my Soul Miller Series.'

At this time, A person arrived in front of the old man and said respectfully, "Saint Tarrangan, we found their hive."

Saint Tarrangan nodded as his lazy voice reverberated, "Send me the location."

After saying that, He disappeared from this throne.
