Chapter 546: Vast Expanse of Greyness.

Several days passed as it was finally time for Athan to execute his risky plan.

Dean Lenix and Zangrel had already arrived at the Youhan Tree, but they were disguised as guests of Lady Fu from the Midgard continent.

On the other hand, inside the chaos phenom dimension...

Seeing Athan leaving the chaos phenom dimension, Primo spoke, "Master! I am coming with you."

Athan smiled as he patted Primo's head and said, "Just stay here and keep an eye on them. Nothing will happen to me."

"But maste-"

"Primo, just stay here. This is the trial that I choose myself as well, and I want to do it alone. You being there will make me feel as if I am secure, and I don't want that," Athan said with a serious expression.

Primo's fluffy black ears turned down with its eyes looking pitiful, "If you say so, Master. But, Make sure that you are in control of the power, not the other way around."

'Or I will have to intervene.'

Athan smiled and nodded, "Naturally. I said I would not let anything control me, and that included my own strength as well."

After Athan left the chaos phenom dimension, he made a bee-line towards Youhan Tree. According to Head Lenix, who contacted him an hour ago, the people from the Ursh'in clan will arrive here in three days.

Seeing Athan arriving, the people from Youhan Tree had mixed feelings, but they still respectfully greeted him.

They knew about Athan's wonderous means and were in awe of that, but they still partially blamed him for their trouble, and Athan didn't feel that there was anything wrong with them thinking like that.

Athan nodded as he flew inside and entered the high-grade pocket space branch where Lady Fu, Dean Lenix, and Head Zangrel were staying.

"Hahaha, Athan! You are finally here. I wonder kind of show you are going to show us this time," Head Zangrel spoke with a loud laugh.

Athan faintly smiled and said, "You will know that after three days."

After saying that, Athan sat down on the couch and said, "Dean Lenix, Head Zangrel, I know you two are here personally in case something unexpected happens and to save me, but...that would reveal your existence here, right?"

Dean Lenix and Head Zangrel looked at each other before smiling, "Indeed."

Head Zangrel grinned as he tapped his bald head with all of his fingers in a rhythm and said, "Revealing our existence will not do any real harm to us, but it will just open a way for our enemies to a fact that MIGHT help them get the upper hand. Nothing is certain in our world, so we are used to staying cautious."

Dean Lenix nodded with a smile, "But, we know your potential, so we have already decided to support you once you reach upper-Chaosverse. If there was a need for us to intervene, which I think will likely not happen, still, if such need arises, we will make a move."

Athan nodded before he spoke somberly, "I understand. But...I want you two to take an oath that you two will not intervene in this matter and just watch and record everything. You don't have to worry about my safety because nothing will happen to me. What I am going to do is just to reveal an existence to spread fear and lay the foundation for my power. The enemies who are coming here are just pieces on board for that."

Athan's eyes danced with a black and white gleam before he spoke with a grin, "The only players in this show are me and my...power."

After saying that, he stood up and turned around, "I am going to seclude myself for the final preparation. Contact me when they are a hundred miles away from Youhan Tree."

...

Athan left this pocket space branch and arrived in another empty high-grade pocket space branch.

All five high-grade pocket space branches were occupied.

The two leaders of Youhan Tree occupied the first one.

Members of the Hidden Dragon Troupe occupied the second one. The third one was occupied by the remaining high-ranking members of Youhan Tree for meetings, and Lady Fu and her two guests occupied the fourth one.

The fifth one was occupied by Athan alone since he asked for one, and nobody had an objection.

After entering, Athan sat down crossed-legged under a random tree out of habit and spread out his abyssal darkness and voidpulse around him.

A field of abyssal darkness and voidpulse materialized around a meter radius of him.

After that, eccentric black and white patterns appeared on his body as Athan's appearance started to change.

Athan's soul was brightly lit as the same pattern appeared on it.

'Abyssal void of Fabrication...you are a void that devours things into the abyss of yours and... recreates the things you devoured in that abyss. But...I AM YOUR OWNER!'

Athan's soul left his body, which caused his body to return to normal. But his soul was still brightly lit with eccentric black and white patterns.

Athan (his soul, which looks the same as him) then...scattered is his own soul.

But in this field of the abyssal void of fabrication he created around him, his soul gathered together again as he felt a connection to that mystical place again. That mystical place was the source of his power.

...

Imagine a vast expanse of grey.

In this space of greyness, there is a light grey orb with dark and white patterns over it.

Inside that orb...is a vast world that has two sides. One side is beautiful, peaceful, and heaven-like.

The other side is dark, deathly, and hell-like.

But the skies of this world were colorful, just too colorful, with many strange and mystical powers whirling everywhere.

This two side world was constantly changing. The changes were not significant but minor.

This world was not like this before. Instead, this world inside the orb just occupied a black and white aura everywhere with those colorful powers at one corner of this world. Other than that, there was nothing here.

But now, this world was very lively.
