The Tale of the Void Emperor-Chapter 698: Dreevindo's Investigation

"The thing is...actually, Athan had more companions with him, and all of them were very strong, comparable to that Huarin and Lily. However...," Dreevindo spoke as he paused and remembered the result of his investigation.

"Huh? He had such powerful companions? Where are they now?" asked the King of Limbark.

"Actually, on that day, several forces had surrounded an Island bubble where Athan's companions were staying. However, from what I found, Athan had entered into that island bubble with his unfathomable pets, that cat and monkey. But then the entire island devoured and disappeared, leaving a cocoon. From that cocoon, Athan came out."

"So Athan killed his own companions?" The King of Xan Empire asked with a surprised expression.

"Impossible!" Dreevindo shook his head with absolute certainty, "there is no way that Athan would do that. He cares about his companions very much. They are his life."

"Then what happened?"

Dreevindo smiled wryly and shook his head, "I am not sure exactly. But something indeed happened. After coming out of the cocoon, Athan changed his ways completely. He slaughtered people and devoured their souls to get stronger; his power also increased tremendously. Naturally, the disappearance of his companions affected him the most."

Pausing there, Dreevindo adopted a peculiar expression, "as you all know how Chaosverse came into existence. So, after that day's incident, I went to the Nexus of the Chaosverse and visited its will there. Of course, I was not going there to grasp the true order and chaos but to know more about the situation. And I found...something unbelievable."

"What?"

"Dreevindo, finish without pausing, or I will beat you to a pulp."

Dreevindo smiled wryly and continued, "The will of Chaosverse had weakened, and I also saw some damage on the Nexus of Chaosverse."

Everyone became shocked after hearing that. Naturally, none of them were able to do anything at the Nexus of Chaosverse. Not even Legendary beings can do anything there.

"The only power capable of doing something like that should belong to an Absolute Transcendent Mythos or....someone more powerful than that," King Oppanu spoke in a grave tone.

"Indeed," Dreevindo hurridly nodded before speaking, "I even licked ass of that will and tried to get some information, but I almost died because of that."

"And you are saying that...the matter at the Nexus of Chaosverse is related to Athan?" asked the King of Polu Empire with a frown.

"That's the only explanation. We Orchos Celestial would occasionally visit the Nexus...cough, to see if we can get some fortuitous encounter from whatever remains of that Absolute Transcendent Mythos left," Dreevindo smiled and coughed.

"Anyway, so I asked other Orchos Celestials, and the recent one who went there was just a few days ago before that incident with Athan," said Dreevindo with a small smile, "that's why I concluded that Athan is related to how that will be weakened and the damage to the Nexus of Chaosverse."

All Kings fell into thought, and King Klenkai also returned at this time. He was surprised that everyone was silent and thoughtful, "What happened?"

Everyone told King Klenkai about the information that Dreevindo provided, causing him to be shocked as well.

...

What Dreevindo said was indeed true. When that woman who wielded the power of Infinite Void of Absolute Stasis arrived and took away Tiana and others, she indeed damaged the Nexus of Chaosverse.

The will of Chaosverse tried to resist the power of that woman who stopped the time and space of the entire Chaosverse, which resulted in the damage.

The ignorant will of that Chaosverse obviously doesn't know the immensity of Infinite Void of Absolute Stasis, which surpasses the Absolute Transcendent Mythos.

That will's scope is limited to the power of Absolute Transcendent Mythos, and that's why it automatically resisted the power. At that time, that woman told it that she didn't want to destroy this Chaosverse; otherwise, she could do it easily and quickly.

Unlike Athan, that woman had truly mastered her Infinite Void of Absolute Statis and was simply too powerful.

That will didn't even notice anything, not even that woman until a mysterious power forcefully stopped entire Chaosverse's time.

...

Twenty-three hours passed, and when Dreevindo arrived in the room, he saw Athan, Lily, and Huarin sitting in the room at a table while a maid served them food.

Naturally, they could order the food using a card on the table and they did just that.

"Let's go; it's time," Dreevindo said with a smile.

"What about the reward?" Lily asked as she glanced at Dreevindo.

"Of course, of course, the reward has been changed," Dreevindo said with a wry smile.

'Athan, I have made preparation for you. So you must also treat me good from now, okay?' Dreevindo said to Athan telepathically.

Athan raised his eyebrows in surprise before smiling, 'good. You made the correct decision. Once we leave, I will bless you.'

Dreevindo grinned before he left the room while Athan, Lily, and Huarin followed.

Mimi was sleeping inside the Ark as she preferred to train while sleeping, one of the traits of her race. She could train faster while in the sleeping mode of her race. Naturally, the people of her race would only do this when they were in their territory and had protection around them.

...

Halfway through walking, Lingardim arrived and spoke with a smile, "Athan will have to go alone from now. You two should come with me and join the audience in the Royal Court."

Lily and Hauarin nodded as they left.

On the other hand, Dreevindo took Athan to another path.

The royal court was not too big, but it wasn't too small either.

Only the most important people of the Empire were present. It was a hundred square meter hall, and Ten kings and Lauratina were sitting on thrones at the end. There were also two young men and a young woman sitting a bit behind King Klenkai and Lauratina.

From the middle of the hall, Athan arrived from underground with an indifferent expression as this farce was not to his liking.
