The Tale of the Void Emperor

"Yes, this is my protector, uncle Zonis. And th-"

"I am his sister, Yekin," the girl said as she stretched her hand towards Athan for a handshake.

Athan was in his Extremity Drifter void frame, but there wasn\'t much physical change externally when activating this void frame.

He then stretched his hand forward and shook hands before speaking, "come on, as long as you accompany me and provide information on the way about things, you will benefit."

Yekin and the middle-aged man, Zonis, looked at each other with worry.

They already knew that Athan had made a lot of enemies, so it would be dangerous to stay with him.

However, Yokan smiled and nodded, "brother Athan, I am willing, but you must protect us."

"Naturally," Athan said with a grin.

Suddenly, several overwhelmingly powerful aura approached them, causing a dire expression to appear on the Yekin, Yokan, and Zonis.

However, Athan licked his lips with a smile, "perfect timing. I guess I will start by devouring three Legendary powerhouses."

"B-brother Athan, are you sure you can handle them? Why don\'t you take us as hostages to make them believe that you caught us and then let us go after sensing them, so they don\'t do anything to us as well,\' Yokan hurriedly sent his thoughts to Athan by using his soul sense.

At this moment, one lady and two men arrived there and floated five hundred meters away from Athan and others.

That lady was one the who ran away from Athan earliest. Athan recognized her and smiled, "good job."

"Seniors, he is the one who killed our members of the union. Senior Froech, your son...was probably killed by him as well."

Of the two men, one of them had a dark expression as he looked at Athan angrily.

*ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP...*

A lightning-fast dark green lightning whip shot towards Athan from the middle-aged man along with many thunderbolts surrounding that whip.

Seeing this, despair flooded in the eyes of Zonis while Yekin and Yokan were also worried. Zonis had despair because he didn\'t have any protective charms that could defend himself from 2nd patch Legendary powerhouses like Yekin and Yokan.

\'B-brother Athan!\'

The attack fast, and Yokan could only send his thought to Aren before he closed his eyes, just like his sister and Zonis.

However, Athan smiled faintly as he was prepared and waved his hands as a sanctuary of void surrounded Yokan, Yekin, and Zonis.

Athan didn\'t defend himself but took the attack head as the potent destructive lightning hit him and charred his body. However, he forcefully absorbed all of their energy and refined his body through void empowerment veins and Void Crux as they used that energy to strengthen every cell of his body.

Naturally, this method brought hellish pain and injuries to Athan\'s body a lot as blood came out from everywhere, but...that didn\'t matter to Athan.

On the other hand, Yokan and others were surprised as nothing happened to them.

"That barrier, it didn\'t even budge," another man from the enemy spoke, his name is Gokez.

"Mirenda, you support us with your ability while we fight him. Don\'t get in the way."

"Yes, seniors."

On the other hand, Athan loudly laughed as he activated Zontheos Prime void frame on his entire body while still having the wings of Extremity Drifter.

Countless tendrils flashed on his body before he turned taller, muscular, and stronger! Two demonic horns grew out from his forehead while his hairs turned thick and long as they reached his legs.

Froech, Gokez, and Mirenda from Deadsea Union became serious, but they were also determined to take down Athan.

"Attack!"

Athan disappeared from his place before appearing in front of Froech and punched.

Froech\'s heart almost leaped as he saw Athan\'s speed, but it was not faster than his reaction speed as he hurridly activated defense and attacked at the same time by using his ability.

Lightning Death Spark.

A spark of dark green lightning produced from his body and covered him in an instant before Athan\'s punch hit him.

\'Get bounded by this death lightning!\' Froech thought as he saw Athan\'s punch connecting his Lightning Death Spark barrier.

At the same time, Gokez roared and also attacked with his sword as a literal tsunami of blades conjured and shot towards Athan.

All of those blades were burning purple and exuded a terrifying aura that was even more powerful than Forech\'s attack.

Blades of Ruin.

*BOOOOOOM...*

Athan\'s punch connected first as Froech\'s expression changed as he spewed a mouthful of blood before shooting directly towards an island that was a kilometer away.

At the same time, those blades also hit Athan. However, Athan didn\'t protect himself, so his body started to break down due to the power of those blades hitting him.

His body decayed and started to turn into dust.

Seeing that, Gokez sneered, "you are dead."

Athan had deactivated his void field and didn\'t use any defensive technique, so obviously, this attack directly affected his body.

The power of this attack started affecting his soul as well, but...It couldn\'t do anything to his soul as the abyssal darkness aspect of his soul energy obliterated that attack.

"Nice attack. It seems that I can\'t absorb it for my use since it had an immediate effect on my body right after it touched me," Athan said with a smile and looked at his arm and spots on his body that was breaking down.

However, seeing Athan being completely unbothered while suffering that attack caused a chill to run down the spine of every single person watching this battle.

In the next second, they saw Athan\'s body reconstructing in a second, and all power of that Blades of Ruin was also nullified.

"Now try this new technique that I created," Athan said with a grin, "Corporeal Execution."

Athan\'s body glowed with countless tendrils. His right hand became bigger before he palmed forward.

A palm with dark red patterns and blue sparks instantly appeared in front of Gokez.
