The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 629 - Happenings.

Shubargu looked at Athan to sense his battle power but failed, which confused him, 'previously, I saw that his battle power was 1.8 million. However, it should be higher because his body aura is on a whole different level than when I met him the first time. Still, his overall power shouldn't have gone above 5 million, which is the limit of my power sensor. Hmmm, then why I can't sense his battle power?'

At this time, Athan turned to Shubargu.

"Check it now," said Athan as he looked at Shubargu with a faint smile, "you got a high-quality power sensor, right? You should be able to measure my battle power now since I removed my obscure veil."

The obscure veil is his void robe's ability that prevents anyone from prying into him and not letting any aura spill out from within his void region.

Athan didn't name it before and just called it an effect of his void robe, but recently, he named this ability, Obscure Veil.

Shubargu looked again and spoke after gulping, "Power sensor is displaying 2.1 million battle power. 1.3 million soul power, 385k body power, and 315k essence power."

"I see," Athan nodded before he grinned, "how many treasures you gathered?"

Hearing that, Shubargu hurriedly took out a storage ring and passed it to Athan.

Athan looked at the storage and inspected it before he nodded, "good but not your work is not done yet. The target is one thousand, and so far, I got a total of 448 natural treasures."

"Y-you shouldn't cause too much ruckus. The council will know about you pretty soon and...I don't know what will happen after that," Shubargu said with some hesitation.

Athan narrowed his eyes before he grinned, "how many resource treasures do I have?"

"You have Fou-"

"Three," said Athan as his expression turned deadpan, and he asked again, "how many?"

Shubargu gulped before he spoke fearfully, "T-three."

"Good. Now go with these five hundred voidlings and increase the speed of gathering resources," Athan said as his expression returned to the faint smile.

He waved his hand, and the voidlings went towards Shubargu and...surrounded him.

Shubargu wanted to cry out loud because of his...tight situation, 'why this demon have to target me of all people? Fuck me and my bad luck.'

...

After Shubargu left, Athan descended and sat down crossed-legged under a large tree.

"Nyaa! You can't hold back anymore, master?" Primo asked with a happy smile.

"Well, the sooner I finish it, the better," said Athan with a faint smile as he closed his eyes and entered deep meditation.

After a few seconds, black and white aura oozed out of him and slowly started covering him.

In a minute, A cocoon formed around him with eccentric black, white, and light grey patterns.

Primo sat down on the cocoon like a loyal guard, and licked its paws," Nyaa! Master should reach 10% in his progress of AVOF after coming out of the cocoon. Hmmm, this might bring qualitative transformation to his void region."

Primo fell into thought and started murmuring," Should I bring 20% of my power here or call another voidling's avatar here like me with 1% of our power? Oh wait, after the transformation, I can get 10% of my power and call another voidling with 10% of its power as well. Mhmm, this is a good idea."

...

While Athan was inside the force-treasure dimension, Linci received a mysterious guest again.

She had been seeing this rose-crystal lady every few months.

At this time, Linci was in the peace dimension, meditating while her mother was beside her, preparing food for her.

However, there was another being beside Linci. This being looked strange as she had a strange crystal body and looked like a female. She had colorful crystal petals, primarily red, blue, and purple, on her body. Her dress was also the same colors, and there was also a crown on her head with red, blue, and purple gems.

"Little lady, did you make your decision yet? This opportunity won't come by so often," said Roserin, one of the major Orchos Celestials.

Linci shook her head and transmitted her sound to Roserin, 'I told you that I will make my decision after consulting this with someone.'

The strange thing was that Linci's mother couldn't see Roserin. Naturally, she also couldn't hear the word spoken by Roserin out loud.

"Who is that someone?" Roserin said with a sigh. She always got the same answer despite telling Linci the benefits of becoming her candidate and how she would progress faster.

Linci smiled sweetly before saying, "he is very special to me. That's all you need to know."

"What is his name? I already told you that I couldn't find him just based on his name, so there's no need to be cautious of me. I won't do anything to him even if I find him," Roserin said with some speechlessness because Linci had never told her the name of that someone special.

"Nope," Linci adamantly denied.

"Eh? What nope, Linci?" Elena turned to Linci after hearing her sudden outburst.

Linci wryly smiled and shook her head, "nothing. I was just thinking something and said it out loud."

"Alright. Anyway, your father will also come here today so...Umm, if you can then try to speak with him. Of course, only if you want to," Elena said with a smile before she focused back on the cooking.

...

"Woohoo...I got a lottery! So many talented individuals gathered at one place, hehehe. However, even though I already created a masking barrier around all of them, I can only take two as my candidates, and I already have a chaos supreme powerhouse as my candidate."

At this moment, a Joker-like figure was floating on top of Tiana, Drizzly, Avelia, and others as they sat across a large table and were eating food. Dean Lenix and Head Zangrel were the ones who brought them here after they finished all challenges available for Evagon-realm beings.

The joker had a fat belly, tiny legs, and had a red-tomato nose.. He also wore a two curvy cap and had a colorful scepter in his right hand.
