The Tale of the Void Emperor

Athan entered the building and saw a row of powerhouses aiming their weapons at him.

He paused for a moment seeing them but then continued as if he didn't care.

"Stop! Why are you here, and why did you kill those guards?"

Athan didn't answer but continued walking.

"Attack him! Only use single-target attacks and aim his vitals."

*Pew.....Swooooosh...Zoooom....*

However, Athan's body was not hurt in the slightest by any of those attacks.

He was not even using his abyssal darkness because his current body could endure attacks of Chaos Sovereigns, let alone these chaos monarchs and paragons in front of him.

"H-his body strength..."

Athan disappeared as he teleported behind the group of people and opened his mouth, which released a giant wide abyssal darkness mouth that devoured every one.

At that moment, five Chaos Sovereign powerhouses arrived and saw that scene of Athan devouring everyone.

"You...you ate them?" A sexy lady with vampire teeth and draconic wings spoke with a dark face.

"Hmmm," Athan started walking towards them while speaking, "their body turned into voidpulse while their soul refined into pure soul power to enhance my soul. So yeah, I ate them."

"First, throw him out of here," an old man with white hair spoke as he projected his palm towards Athan before an overwhelming force pushed Athan and shot him outside of the build to several kilometers away into the sky.

Athan activated his abyssal field after reaching the chaotic atmosphere to stop himself from further pushing away by the strange pushing force.

"I should have activated the field right from the start. Oh well...," Athan muttered.

The five Chaos Sovereigns appeared before him after a second he was thrown here.

"Why did you attack the headquarters? What the heck is your purpose?"

Athan smiled and flew in front of the old man with white hair, "you want to know my purpose?"

"ISOLE-"

Before the old man could finish shouting angrily, a beastly mouth devoured him whole.

*burp...*

Athan did an intentional burp as he looked at the other four Chaos Sovereigns, "that old man had a powerful soul. Hope you all have the same."

"ATTACK THIS FREAK!"

*BOOOM...BOOOM....*

*Szzzzzzaapp...*

Everyone activated their Sovereign Territory and started attacking Athan with all of their power.

However, the abyssal field around Athan devoured every single of their attack as he zoomed in front of another Chaos Sovereign.

"RUN..."

Before Athan could devour him, that Sovereign used Space Blink as he disappeared and appeared a kilometer away.

Other powerhouses also ran away before continued attacking Athan.

"Inform other Sovereigns that a monster is here, and his target is likely powerhouses since he wants to eat them to gain power!"

"B-but...our attacks are not even going past one meter of him!"

"CONTINUE ATTACKING! Nothing is infinite, and he will likely run out of whatever power source he has that is allowing him to block our attacks."

Athan frowned and clicked his tongue as his current speed was not enough to chase and kill a Chaos Sovereign unless he sneakily attacks as he did previously.

"However...It's time that I use my powered-up body," Athan muttered as he told Limbus and Reigen to return.

"Efyeed, you should train Limbus and Reigen and make them more powerful. I am sending you a thousand drops of Voidpulse; use them as you see fit."

"As you wish, master."

Afterward, Athan looked at the four Chaos Sovereigns attacking him continuously and stretched his body, 'I need to hurry since their attacks already depleted my abyssal darkness reserve by 19%. I also need to devour other powerhouses that come here after them.'

After stretching his body, Athan tightened all of his muscles while the wings he created started to turn blood red as he was exhausting his body power to fuel it.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM....*

The atmosphere quacked as Athan hit a Chaos Sovereign right in his scaly chest with a punch and...

*BOOOM...*

His body was shredded to pieces.

Athan hurridly conjured his abyssal mouth and devoured his soul after killing him.

"His body strength! FUCK! It's off the charts."

"Don't RUN! Just continue blinking in our Sovereign Territory, and he won't be able to catch up to us! If...If we don't kill him now, we will die!"

Athan paused as his eyeballs moved rapidly, observing their blinking moments constantly.

Suddenly, he turned to his left side and saw four more powerhouses coming and joined in the attack.

One of them spoke with red eyes while fiercely attacking Aren, "WHY DID YOU KILL MY BROTHER?!"

Athan grinned and dashed towards him.

*BOOOOOOOM....*

"DON'T PAUSE AT ONE LOCATION!" A Chaos Sovereign spoke frustratedly.

"Continue space blinking and attack him. WE HAVE TO PUT HIM DOWN RIGHT NOW!"

Athan paused and observed their moment attack before he dashed at super fast speed.

However, he missed his target.

"Why are you attacking us? WHY DO YOU WANT TO KILL US?"

Athan looked at them and spoke with a cold smile, "Why? Don't tell me you've never attacked or killed other people for your own gain? Haha, everyone does that! I am doing the same! I need soul power, so I am attacking you."

Afterward, Athan tried dashing one more time but missed the target again. However, a smile lingered in his eyes and a cold light that none of them noticed.

He was giving them hope that they could kill him.

Suddenly, three more powerhouses arrived and joined the fray. Seeing them, Athan internally nodded, 'These much should be enough for me to fight against Chaos Supremes and start eating them.'

'80% soul energy...Hmmm, that should suffice,' Athan thought before his eyes glowed intensely, and a large mystical eye came into a projection on top of Athan.

Suddenly, all powerhouses felt an overwhelming soul pressure on them and saw an illusion of a terrifying beast eating their soul.

"Great," Athan muttered as he dashed forward and started devouring them one by one every second.

However, one of the powerhouses suddenly woke up and ran away in fear before Athan could eat him.

Athan didn't chase but devoured the remaining powerhouse before looking in the runner's direction.

However, he couldn't catch up to him since he practically teleported away.

"Oh well, these should be enough.. It's time to go to 1st layer now."
