The Tale of the Void Emperor

Half a day passed before the auctioneer brought out an interesting item again.

It was an egg of a legendary chaotic spirit.

However, Athan was not interested in that, so he passed up on this. Chaotic spirits can act as chaos beasts to aid in the fight, but their main use was their second ability to transform into armament form for their master and boost their soul power.

As the chaotic spirit always has the same realm as their master, the boost one can get from their chaotic spirit is powerful as their soul power becomes almost twice as powerful, so it's crucial in combat.

But Athan's chaotic spirit was already unique and possibly surpassed legendary grade because it was mutated by Primo's aura. This means that in the future, Athan's chaotic spirit can become even more powerful.

One more day passed as the auction neared its end, but Athan didn't like any of the so-called powerful items.

Now it was time for the last item as a large cauldron appeared from the blue portal.

The cauldron was two meters in height, and its body was dark bronze with golden patterns and four legs.

Seeing it, Aren became uninterested again since he had nothing to do with the cauldron.

The cauldron was sold for five point four million high-grade chaos stone. It supposedly became the best cauldron in the entire Midgard continent since it naturally made cauldron in a special-grade CPD and had the power to grow itself as its master continued to use it. Naturally, its master also needs to progress to make it stronger.

"Let's go," Athan spoke plainly as he stood up and left the floating pavilion from its portal doors.

They arrived back in the large building in Zinger Town and started walking towards the exit.

"Where are we going now, young master Athan?" Koinshi asked as all of their business in this town ended and felt that Athan would resume completing his unfinished business that he didn't have a clue about.

Athan didn't say anything as he just continued to walk and exited the building. Koinshi didn't ask a second time as he just respectfully followed Athan.

Athan continued to walk in the street in a daze as if he was thinking about something.

While walking, his gaze landed on a bar and entered there as he ordered some wine and drank it for two hours before leaving the bar saying to Koinshi, "Our next destination is the territory of Gardues clan."

"Gardues clan?" Koinshi was surprised but nodded, he knew about the Gardues clan, but they were not as powerful as their Ursh'in clan. There was also a rumor that the Gardues clan here was not that valued by the main clan in upper-chaosverse.

"Athan?"

Athan and Koinshi paused as they turned around and saw Zangeer smiling at them.

Athan narrowed his eyes and spoke, "I don't remember telling you my name."

"Eh, but I know from a certain mirage crystal," Zangeer said before he approached them, "I saw you in the auction hall as well, but since you wore a mask at that time and you had this new outfit, I didn't recognize you."

"What do you want?" Athan asked plainly.

"Hahaha, nothing. I am just bored, so I don't know if I can accompany you? Of course, only if you don't mind," Zangeer spoke with a loud laugh.

On the other, Koinshi was startled, 'Zangeer Viombra. Why does he want to accompany young master Athan?'

Koinshi knew that the Viombra family was one of the most powerful families here...even more powerful than their Ursh'in clan, and Zangeer was the gem of that family valued by both the family here and in the upper-chaosverse. The moment he breakthrough to Evagon-realm, he will be called to upper-chaosverse.

"You want to accompany me? Are you sure?" Athan spoke with a curved lip, forming a small smile.

Zangeer didn't hesitate and laughed while nodding, "I am sure."

"Suit yourself," Athan said as he turned around and started walking.

Zangeer started walking beside Athan and asked with a wry smile, "Can't you at least tell me where are you going?"

"Nope," Athan said.

Zangeer was speechless, but he then shook his head with a grin, "Alright, no problem. Since I said that I would come, then I will. This Zangeer doesn't fear anything," pausing, he coughed and continued, "At least nothing in this Midgard continent."

The three of them left the Zinger town before Koinshi took out the flying ship.

But seeing it,  Zangeer took out his own flying ship that was bigger and faster, "Let's go in this one. It's better and faster so you can reach to your destination early."

Athan had no problem, and the faster he finished his work, the better. So he and Koinshi entered Zangeer's ship.

Zangeer sat across Athan on the couch inside the ship's central hall and asked, "Well, now can you tell me where we are going?"

Athan picked up the wine cup and took a sip before saying, "We are going to the Gardeus clan's territory to meet them."

Zangeer raised his eyebrows, and his eyes flickered with shock because he knew some insider information about them. Some people have killed their clan leader and Munvald as well, so the current Gardues clan was hiding in their shell. The head of Great Bridgade Palace had created a protective formation around their giant floating residence while they continuously trained through the CPD portals they had in their giant palace residence.

"Do you know what happened to them? Anyway, I might as well tell you that their clan leader was killed and Munvald as well. So, now they have closed themselves and will not let anyone enter inside. If you going there for some business, then you can turn back now."

Athan smiled as he took another sip from the wine glass and said, "I was the one who killed Munvald and his father. Now, I am going to settle them as well. Well, that was my plan before I arrived at Zinger town, but...my mind has changed now as I have some different plans for them."

*tink....*

Zangeer dropped the wine glass in shock, which didn't break but produced a tink sound and snapped him out of his thought.

"What the....are you serious?"
