The Tale of the Void Emperor

Athan was filling up the third branch of his genome tree for an hour now. The soul altars were still in the process of upgrade.

But after ten minutes, He had to stop his training.

It was because his gang encountered something.

Athan disappeared from where he sat and appeared right beside his Jigen persona.

" Master, You are here! What should we do with this thing? "  Seeing Athan, Skylord reacted right away and pointed at a one-meter tall and half a meter wide floating crystal that came out from the ground. The crystal was white-colored, but it was glowing with a dark green and blue hue.

Athan didn't reply to Skylord because he also didn't know anything. He walked towards the crystal and touched to see if something happens.

And indeed. Right after he touched the crystal, many words appeared on it.

[ You will be teleported to the chambers of dooms in five minutes. ]

[ The recommended number of people to enter is three. The other two people will be randomly selected. The reward you get inside depends on your capabilities. You can only use one of your power sources. All other powers, abilities, and external things are restricted. ]

' Can only use one of my power sources? What does it mean by that? Although it didn't specify, I think I can guess what it means by that. ' Thinking of this, Athan continued to read the texts on the crystal.

[ The only way to leave the chambers of dooms is to clear it or die trying.  Good luck. ]

[ 4:59 ]

[ 4:58 ]

" Master. This place called chambers of dooms sounds scary. But...THAT'S THE WAY TO GO! Bwahahahah...Only things like this can awaken my potential and reveal the full glory of my power. "

Skylord arrogantly laughed. But soon, it started to choke because of what DeathKnight said.

" But You couldn't even beat Silvestra and break my barrier. "

" Cough...That....It was because I don't have defense power that I lost against Silvestra. As for you? Humph...I didn't use my full power at that time. Otherwise, I would've definitely broken your barrier. "

DeahtKnight sneered but didn't bother to quarrel with Skylord.

Athan and others waited for the countdown on the crystal to reach zero.

...

[ 0:03 ]

[ 0:02 ]

[ 0:01 ]

[ 0:00 ]

Right as 0:00 appeared on the crystal, Athan disappeared from where he stood. He had already stored his Jigen persona and Altar spirits inside.

Athan arrived at an unfamiliar place and looked at his surroundings, basically a worn-out hall with holes in the walls and broken furniture. He had also lost all of his powers. His physical body was also suppressed such that it became weaker.

[ You have one minute to discuss which power source you want to use. Two people can't use the same power source. ]

He also saw two people on his left side. One of them was a woman of the Crysax race, and another was a man of the Terred race.

In the middle of this worn-out hall was a table, and on the table were several golden talismans with one word on them. Each talisman either had Body, Energy, or Soul word.

" So? Who was the one that found the crystal? " A deep yet hoarse voice rang out.

Athan looked at the Terred race man before speaking plainly, " I found the crystal. "

" Gahaha. I hope you didn't leave your altar spirits behind before the countdown was up. "

Athan frowned as to why he said that, but he probably knew that it was related to the restriction of this place. He likely won't be able to summon his altar spirits here...IF he put them inside his Erudite Palace or soul realm.

' But...I had put them inside the special space. ' Thinking of this, Athan took out his altar spirits from the special space, which dumbfounded both the Terred race man.

On the other hand, The Crysax race woman directly uttered with disbelief, " Impossible. "

Just as Terred race man opened his mouth to express his disbelief, Just as Skylord was excited to come out and was preparing to roar, and Just as Athan's smile reached half of his face...The altar spirits summoned by him disappeared.

Seeing this, The Terred race man ate his previous words before laughing out loud, " Gaahahaha...Now that's how it's supposed to be. "

Athan was speechless. He could feel the connection with his altar spirits inside the Erudite palace, but he couldn't call them out.

At this time, The Crysax woman recovered and urged, " Only thirty seconds are left. Let's hurridly decided on which power source to choose. My name is Ferexa, and I choose the body power source.  " She then walked towards the table and picked up the talisman with " Body " written on it.

" I choose energy power source. You can call me Hemakel. " Saying this, Hemakel also picked up a talisman but with the word " Energy " on it. He then looked d at Athan. Hemakel had that face filled with pride and appeared full of confidence.

Athan shook his head while frowning, " Let me choose the energy power source. I am sure I have more advantage over energy than you. "

Hearing that, Hemakel was dumbfounded before he started laughing.

" Gahahaha..."

But after two seconds of laughing, He snorted before speaking with a sneer, " YOU? A human? Has more advantage over energy than me? That's the best joke I've heard. Let me tell you that I have an innate talent known as Energy Reduction. This innate talent is considered one of the best Energy-type innate talents because to use any of my energy-related abilities. I only need to consume half of the total required energy to use any spells or abilities. "

Athan was surprised hearing that, ' Now that's some powerful and very useful innate talent. But..."

Shaking his head, Athan insisted, " Even if you have that innate talent, I still have a more significant advantage over energy power source than you. "

" YOU!..." Just as Hemakel was going to burst out, Ferexa interjected and gave an earful to Athan with a sharp voice.

" Human! This place is dangerous to clear, and every race has to work together even if they don't like it. Stop with your unreasonableness and choose a Soul power source talisman. We are not here to court death! "

[ 10 seconds left. After that, You will be allowed to use the power source depending on the talisman you picked. If two people picked up the same talisman, The power source they will be allowed to use would be decided randomly. ]

Right after hearing this voice that reverberated in the hall, Hemakel roared, " Human! Stop messing around and choose the soul power source talisman! "

Time was running out, So Athan moved towards the table and picked up a talisman.

Obviously, He chose the talisman with " Energy " on it.

When the other two saw what Athan picked, They practically fumed and cursed their rotten luck to meet this unreasonable human.

" Don't worry. If I get to use the energy power source by chance, You will be grateful by the end of the day. "

Hemakel clenched his teeth and jaws while speaking with anger, " If we were not here, then I would have fucking killed an annoying pest human like you. "

Athan's eyes turned cold before he uttered while oozing killing intent, " I don't mind killing you right here, right now. "

Only three seconds were left.

Ferexa had an ugly face as she wondered what sin she did she committed that she was stuck with these two. Though she also felt that Athan was the one being unreasonable here, ' Arrogant human. How can he claim that he has a better advantage over Hemakel regarding the energy power source? Humph. '

The time was up as the talismans on their hand shined before they disappeared.

Ferexa's physical abilities and power were unbanned.

On the other hand, Hemakel and Athan hurriedly checked their stats to see what power they unlocked.

" Eat shit, human. I get to use the energy power. Gahahahaha."

Athan was speechless and muttered, " How childish. Are you a 3-year old? "

Hemakel choked on his laughter and almost died.

" YOU!...I swear that if I meet you outside later, I will fucking kill you. "

Athan sighed and muttered, " How short-tempered. Just like a little child. "

[ The first Task: Kill the Doom Bringer Beast in five minutes. ]

The three of them disappeared from the worn-out hall and appeared inside a huge hall that was 500 meters square. A dark boar that was lit up in dark flames and blood-red patterns on its body was in front of them.

" You two! There's no time to waste on the internal dispute. Work together and kill this monster. "

*OOOOOOOINK!....*
