The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 648 - BOOM!

"Since you two are here, then one of you should stay here to guard this place. With 10% of strength, you can stay outside longer, right?" Athan asked Taezin and Primo.

"Yes, master. With 10% of our strength, we can stay outside however long we want. We will only be forced to leave or hide in your void region if we use some flashy powers," Primo said.

"I will go with the master!" Taezin shouted, "Primo, you've been staying with him since a long time already, so I will go!"

"Nyaa! Fine, fine," Primo said while flicking his tail.

...

Efyeed opened a portal as Athan and Taezin entered through it and arrived at the crowded trading post.

"Uu...Master, what are we going to do? Are you going to fight? If so, I can help because I am a very good fighter," Taezin said while flying beside Athan on his little cloud.

"We are going to visit the ruling party of this Trading post first. Suppose they agreed to my request without drama, then good. Otherwise, we will have to teach them some lessons. Anyway, didn't Primo say that you two are not supposed to use any flashy moves?"

"Uuu...My power is called Myriad Overhaul. I can adjust my physical strength enough and limit it to this dimensional plane so that I won't mistakenly destroy it. I will just use my physical strength and not my magical powers, this way, I won't be forced to recall or kill my avatar," Taezin said while grinning from ears to ears.

Athan smiled and shook his head, "you don't need to make any move unless It's absolutely necessary. In this place, I should be able to handle any situation since the most powerful people here are just chaos saint powerhouses."

"Uu...Uu...As you wish, master."

Athan walked outside of the portal zone, and after walking for a few moments, he saw an enforcer and called her out. This enforcer was female due to her body shape but not human as her head was like a wasp with large eyes and two antennas on her forehead.

"Excuse me, do you know where I can find the top council members that manage this trading post?" Athan asked.

"Why business do you have with them? If you want to report something, then you can report me," said the enforcer with a frown.

"Eh, do you know that a few months ago, the force-treasure dimension here was destroyed? Actually, I know the culprit behind that," Athan said with a smile. His body aura was completely retracted cause of his void robe. At the same time, there was no order base in the void region anymore, so he could not reveal it even if he wanted to do.

If he showed his body aura right now, he was sure that he would scare this chaos king-realm enforcer. So, he didn't let it exude.

"Why do you have that weird mask on your face? It's creepy since when you smiled, it moved as well," the enforcer said with disgust.

Athan was dumbfounded, but he thought that it was a good idea to turn his void mask like that so that it moves according to his facial muscles and expression.

"Why don't you get a mask, by the way? Cause you look creepier than me with that face," Athan said with a snort.

"You..." the enforcer became angry but controlled it as she took a deep breath before saying, "back to the business. You can report me if you know anything about the culprit. As for meeting the superiors? you can forget about it."

Athan narrowed his eyes as a gleam of black and white flashed in his eyes.

The enforcer saw Athan's mystical eyes and suddenly felt primal fear rising in her soul. A terrifying mouth of a black beast with white teeth appeared in front of her soul and roared.

"Lead--the--way...Now!" Athan spoke in a cold but deep and low voice.

"Uu...Uu...just kill her and make an uproar. That way, all important people will eventually arrive here," Taezin said as he pointed his staff at the enforcer. Naturally, the enforcer couldn't see Taezin.

"The idea is not bad, but I won't kill random people for no reason or stupid reasons. It irks me cause I was killed for a stupid reason in my first life. Though it's a different matter if they are caught in collateral damage, heh," Athan spoke with a sneer as he looked at the enforcer, "hurry up and lead the way."

"Y-yes, t-this way, please."

Athan was led by the enforcer towards the highest building, a large tower with a large horizontal disk shape building on top of it.

After entering the building, the enforcer went to one of the desks and said, "I want to meet Saint Nyntiel and Saint Kleil to report an important matter."

"What important matter?"

"The culprit behind the destruction of the force-treasure dimension."

"Who is that person behind you?"

"He...is the one who brought the information. But he is refusing to tell me about it," the enforcer said with a bit of fear in her.

The officer behind the desk was a human with an appearance in his late thirties. He sensed the fear in her voice and raised his brows, "why are you speaking fearfully?"

"Also, you, remove your mask," the officer said while looking at Athan.

"Do you want to see my face?" Athan asked with a grin as the grin stretched across his face as well.

"You don't have to worry. We will not leak your face after you inform us about the culprit. Anyway, the culprit is definitely one of the six minor organizations around here because they are aiming for a position in this chaos zone's council, and by proving that the current members who are managing this trading post are worthless, they will gain the chance."

Athan was a bit speechless because he didn't know much about how the organizations worked here, but it was none of his business for now.

"Sigh...this is taking too long. Screw it; we are going with your plan, Taezin," Athan said with a sigh.

"Taezin? who are you talking to?" the officer frowned as he had a bad feeling after hearing Athan's words.

Athan smiled as he lifted his right foot up and gathered his physical strength.

*Crack....*

Without even putting his leg down, the floor beneath it started to crack due to the pure physical pressure exuding from his leg. However, he didn't use his full physical strength.

"Boom," Athan said before he stomped his right leg.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.....*

A large shockwave spread that flung away everything around him; even the officer and the enforcer have shot away along with all people who were on this floor.

The shockwave spread to the entire tower as cracks appeared on it. However, the entire tower suddenly started to shine as a magic circle appeared on a large scale, which started recovering the tower.

None of the people died since they were all chaos king-realm and above. Also, Athan didn't use 100% of his physical strength.

He just wanted to cause enough commotion to attract the big shots, and indeed, several beings on the level of chaos lord and two chaos saint powerhouses surrounded him.

Since Athan had removed his Obscure Veil, the powerhouse who surrounded him could see his battle power, and after seeing it, they all had a weird expression on their faces.
