The Tale of the Void Emperor

Chapter 263: Speculation, Thinking and Resolve

Athan and Reikent returned to Youhan Tree organization after Reikent opened a Chaos portal back to the cloudly grey screen hall.

On the way back to Athan\'s Abode, none of them spoke anything.

Finally, They arrived at Athan\'s abode, and before leaving, Reikent spoke, " I\'ll give you one year of rest time. During this one year, you can do anything you want. Either focus on making your connection deeper with the source dimension or take a rest and do whatever you want. "

Athan nodded without any expression on his face.

Reikent then flew up, and as if he remembered something, He stopped and looked back to Athan before saying, " If you want to roam on the streets, then there is a vast central town of this Doflame region that acts as a hub for the market, trading, and entertainment for all clans and organizations here. You can\'t go there alone, so when I go there after a month, I\'ll take you there to broaden your horizons a bit about Chaosverse. "

Athan nodded once again and then walked into the waterfall and sat down below it. The water felt cool and calm on him, and that\'s what he wanted.

He then started thinking about everything that happened until now, from his first life to his second life and from the start of his second life to his current state.

\' Mimi\'s parents are not humans because Mimi is also not. They are probably more powerful than people of chaosverse because even Qerin, who was a native of chaosverse, didn\'t know about Genome powers. So, if they are that powerful, why did they descend to measly universes and even took my soul before setting up the things on my soul like the black whirlpool, special space, and...put their daughter there? \'

He knew the reason for it because Mimi told him, \' They were chased by their enemies and...If my guess is correct, their enemies were after the Ark because it is the only thing that is very mysterious and looks like some kind of supreme treasure. The special space was also the result of it because I could feel that when I activated the Ark. \'

He also knew that he couldn\'t use the Ark properly and use its other functions because he was too weak for that.

\' Also, Their enemies might have caught trails, and if they are even more mystical beings than people of chaosverse, then they should have means to sense about me, a measly mortal soul. If I take this guess as a fact, then people who arrived at Earth are probably related to the enemies of Mimi\'s parents. But...They left the Earth after messing with it for fun before leaving, which means that...They lost their goal of staying there, which was me, and it should be because the darkness of nothingness devoured me, and everyone forgot about my existence, included those who stayed at Earth, most probably waiting for me. but since they don\'t remember about my existence, they left. \'

Athan clenched his fist because as they left, they put Earth in a chaotic state for fun before leaving, and that resulted in the deaths of his family.

Taking a deep breath, He continued to think about every situation.

\' Now, since Tiana and others managed to return alive from their respective genome realm dimension, I could also do that if I didn\'t encounter that mad bastard called Elvidelen. And suppose if I managed to pass the test or comprehend whatever I had to in the genome realm dimension, then I would also return to where I entered, which was...the special space. \'

He still didn\'t know what happened to the Ark because it left his body when he filled the third branch of the genome tree, and right at that moment, He also lost his connection with Ark.

At that moment, He knew that he was never really a true owner of that treasure. At that time, He felt a more powerful and overbearing pressure for a moment when the Ark left his body, and that pressure wasn\'t his.

\' But even if I lost my connection with the Ark, then suppose I managed to pass the test in Genome realm dimension, I most probably would return to the special space since Tiana and others also returned back to the Roumbra blood war dimension in Elenex universe. \'

\' And since Mimi\'s parents are not my enemies, then I doubt that they would block me or do anything to me, So...they also might not have expected that I would land in major trouble in the genome realm dimension and fall into the space filled with the darkness of nothingness. Now, They also might have forgotten about me. Mimi...She was pure and innocent, so I doubt she had a scheme in this plan of her parents. All she did and said to me was according to what her parents told her. \'

Athan shook his head and sighed. He imagined her playing with his altar spirits and Silvestra in the special space.

\' To Mimi\'s parents, I was just a mortal soul, an Ant. They grabbed me the moment I died, and it was a pure coincidence that I was chosen. However, I still can\'t figure out why they have to choose a mortal human soul like me. \'

He couldn\'t figure this out, but even so, he was grateful at first. He got a second life and hoped to take revenge and meet his family, Uncle, and aunt once again. But...none of that happened, and he even lost the new family made in his second life since they all forgot about him. About all this, He couldn\'t help but produce a bit of resentment towards Mimi\'s parents.

Athan finally opened his eyes that looked cold, but one could see the fire of resolve in them.

\' If they can forget about me, Then they can also remember me. I have to make more progress and comprehend this power of nothingness. That\'s the only way I can think of. \'

From now on, This is the start of his third life. The life of Athan Void. The one who lost everything. Even if he got new strange powers, That was just the result of his struggle, will, and resolve. From now on, He will make his new path and regain his family.

Along with this thinking, A kind of Hunger also released from deep within him. Hunger to become more powerful than ever.
