The Tale of the Void Emperor-Chapter 737: Absurdity & Mysticism 1

Everyone suddenly heard a peal of devilish laughter and looked at the bombarded space.

Nukkil looked at Reventas and saw that her mouth was wide opened, and her eyes were filled with shock.

'What did she see?' Nukkil wondered before turning his head towards the bombarded space as well, 'let's see...'

"ℍ𝕒𝕙𝕒...𝕙𝕒𝕙𝕒𝕙𝕒ℍ𝕒𝕙𝕒...𝕙𝕒𝕙𝕒𝕙𝕒..."

*Swooooooosh...*

Everything at the bombarded space was cleared in an instance as they saw a rotating grey aura with black and white streams whirling around it.

In the middle of that phenomenon was Athan...that looked completely different.

His face, arms, legs, everything had black, white, and grey patterns glowed slightly.

There was a strange symbol in the middle of his forehead, right below the gemstone.

His eyes had the same symbol. The symbol looked like the phenomenon occurring behind Athan, which was the rotating grey aura with black and white streams whirling around it.

At this moment, everyone clearly saw Athan and felt weird. Athan didn't give any pressure or anything. Heck, it felt that he was not there at all if they closed their eyes.

'How truly mystical,' Nukkil thought, "Is he in a different dimension or something? But we can clearly see him, yet can't feel or sense his presence.'

Other powerhouses also started talking internally by using their thoughts.

'It's like that Ark of Exordium, but it feels a bit different.'

'Yeah, Ark of Exordium is hard to find, but Devil Ogaren has that Firmament Treasure that can find Ark of Exordium and pull it out from its separate dimension. However, this Athan is still visible in front of us, yet we can't sense his existence.'

'The space around him is weird as well.'

Athan took a deep breath as he felt power overflowing his being. He had activated all of the AVOF origins he got and was getting baptisms. Once this process is finished, he would consolidate his position at 55% of understanding of AVOF and can upgrade his void region and other functions like the void robe, void mask, others, and gain more capacity.

He was saving these Origin AVOF portions in case he got into a life-threatening crisis.

He put himself in this danger because he wanted to become stronger here and also because he wanted to finally activate the origins portions of AVOF that he had accumulated and solidify the foundation of his Abyssal Void of Fabrication.

And during this process, he would be utterly...butterly...and absolutely invisible.

However, Athan wanted to make this process last longer so he could train in the meanwhile to get stronger, so he tried doing that, and instead of attacking others, he sat down crossed-legged.

Afterward, he looked at those twenty-five individuals and said as his eyes flashed mystically, "I am giving you a chance to kill me. Call however many you want and do your best. Throw all and every kind of attack at me; I will not retaliate."

Hearing that, everyone became shocked.

But Athan was not finished yet.

"I will not retaliate for the next three months," Athan said with narrowed eyes and smiled, "that also means that you only have three months to live. If you failed to kill me within these three months, then...you will die. So, do your best."

After saying that, Athan closed his eyes and continued training as he refined those souls and absorbed their powers, limit breaking and strengthening body, and producing Abyssal Blood Crystals.

Seeing that Athan really closed his eyes while being defenseless, everyone looked at each other.

Deadsea Union master snorted and became a five-kilometer giant before condensing a fifty kilometers giant death orb with dark red and green patterns on it.

"Veriun Death Orb of Deadsea," Nukkil muttered with a serious expression, "it looks like he activated his full power in that attack."

Reventas nodded with a frown, "I wouldn't be able to survive that."

"Well, Deadsea got the most dangerous offense, directly related to death. Getting hit by this attack would put me in trouble as well unless I used my full-powered attack to block that Veriun orb," Nukkil said with a wry smile.

"I heard it creates a literal dead sea around the target after exploding and continues to pour death aura on the target to attack soul and body to reduce life span and rot them to death," Reventas muttered.

"Indeed."

At this time, the Deadsea Union master released that five kilometers big orb towards Athan while all other powerhouses retreated back.

Athan looked like a tiny ant in front of that five kilometers big giant orb.

The orb hit the phenomenon around Athan and exploded as a scary death sea formed around Athan that was overflowing with death aura. One could literally see dark ghosts with green and dark red patterns on them filled with death and other powers surging from the sea and going towards Athan to attack it.

"I really hate this attack of Deadsea," Asura Tobi muttered, "It counters my Asura Vitality Genealogy path's most powerful attack, and if we clash, I lose my energy faster than him."

"Humph," Deadsea Union snorted before saying, "then why I hadn't gotten the upper hand over you when we fought that day? you bastard, I know you have a powerful innate defensive ability in your freakish body."

"But those ghosts of yours are really annoying; even if I attack them, they pass their rotting death aura to my soul directly through the intent link between me and my attack; it's so annoying. Sigh..."

"I haven't managed to create an attack that can find the intent link between my target and target's attacks. But I might be able to finish an attack like that soon. I need that type of attack to kill some of those annoying beasts in Rift Dimension."

"Same here."

"Look, the first ghost reached Athan, let's see how he defe-"

"Huh?"

"It disappeared?"

Everyone saw that the ghost that neared Athan suddenly disappeared. They looked at Athan's expression, but he still had a peaceful expression with his eyes closed.

Deadsea Union master narrowed his eyes before his eyes glowed faintly, 'Expansion Condense, Deadghost of Boundless death.'

The entire dead sea churned before gathering into a slim ghost but filled with concentrated power that made other legendary powerhouse's faces turn serious.

'Humph, I want to see if you can still make this ghost disappear.'
