The Tale of the Void Emperor

*phoooooooo....phoo phoo phoo, phoo...phoooooooooo*

Avelia was traveling inside a dark space forcefield since she could travel faster in that. 

She was releasing dark space slashes toward Cornella while Cornella had a flute in her mouth, and she was producing a beautiful but also a powerful sound from it.

Various colorful animals were conjured as they blocked Avelia\'s attacks.

"That power looks similar to the power of Dark Lord Ajaxes," Raizor muttered as he looked at Avelia\'s powers.

"Indeed," Nia, the ninja-woman, nodded, "however, her battle power, profound techniques, and such are severely lacking."

"That is natural; after all, she is just in the Supremacy plane," Raizor said with a nod.

Athan was observing the battle, but his brows were creased because it seemed that Avelia was losing the fight.

Her attacks were not able to break faster than the various defensive shields and barriers created by Cornella\'s fantastic beasts.

She had summoned nine different beasts and was also released soul attacks from her flute that was giving trouble to Avelia.

"Cornella\'s power is a direct counter to Avelia," Raizor said with a smile, "it seems that the last spot will go to Cornella."

Avelia was anxious because she really didn\'t have any powerful profound techniques, and she could only use her powerful slashes from her daggers.

She mostly focused on making progress in his Outrious Power and reaching a higher plane instead of learning and horning her profound techniques. 

Actually, Avelia and others were severally lacking guidance and mentorship like other people. They could carve their path out themselves...but only if given enough time.

The voidlings also got their powers innately, and even though they created profound techniques, they did with constantly working hard since they were born, while Avelia and others just recently went into origin AVOF.

Most importantly, the voidlings had a solid foundation and powerful soul from the start as they were born Fear level directly. On top of that, they were literally the manifestation of their respective Outrious powers, which made it easier for them to create profound techniques SUITABLE to them.

"Athan, how long its been since your wife ascended to Outrious Expanse?"  Raizor asked with a curious expression.

"A few decades," said Athan with a wry smile.

Hearing that, everyone was shocked.

"A few decades to reach Supremacy-lifeform? Who are you kidding?" Akin uttered with a dumbfounded expression.

Raizor was speechless as well, "are you jesting?" 

"Nope," Athan shook his head, "our situation is slightly different."

"Interesting," Raizor murmured, "if that\'s true, then it makes sense regarding how her battle style is not honed enough, and she is severally lacking in her profound techniques."

"However, that weapon is a bit mysterious," Raizor spoke with raized eyebrows as he turned to Athan, "where did you find it?"

Athan hollowly laughed and shook his head, "you can say that the weapon is from a Fear-level powerhouse and custom-made with a legacy in it."

On the other hand, the battle was getting intense because Avelia was attacking like mad, with the intention of spending every inch of her power.

"It seems that I can\'t extend this battle longer, this fear..."Corenalla shook his head as she felt a headache and fear that was affecting her ability.

Soon, she released a profound technique in a large area from a giant centipede beast with beautiful butterfly wings and trapped Avelia in a field.

Avelia felt that she could break that field with her Space Hellion of Full buster power as she hurriedly released a Buster Hellion Slash from her daggers that exploded into motes of dark silver sparks upon hitting Cornella\'s field.

*BOOOOOOOOOOM....*

Cornella saw her trap field getting destroyed, but she smiled, "it\'s too late, Avelia."

The six other beasts had joined together into a mysterious nature formation and released a whirling beam inside the trap field that was half destroyed.

The trap field instantly recovered when that whirling beam entered.

Athan frowned and was going to move, but he stopped after hearing Raizor\'s words, "don\'t worry, Athan. That beam will not injure Avelia."

Indeed, before the beam even hit Avelia, her dark space forcefield was destroyed, and she herself lost her consciousness and fainted because that whirling laser was not an offensive attack but a debuff technique that put the target in her trap field into sleep.

"Welcome to the team, the successor of Ninveh Fantastic Beast Temple," Raizor said with a smile.

"It\'s my honor," Cornella did a noble bow etiquette as she grabbed her dress and bowed slightly.

Cornella\'s power, Nineveh Fantastic Beasts, had a total of nine beasts, but she didn\'t show all of them here.

Also, her outrious power was a bit unique as the formation places of those beasts could conjure nine different drastic attacks with varying effects.

So, she already had nine unique innate techniques based on her Outrious Power. Naturally, her Outrious Power was also a tier-1 outrious power.

On top of her nine innate profound techniques, she could conjure more combinations with her own understanding of the powers of those nine fantastic beasts and the nature of her Outrious power, which was more on the soul-mental side.

...

Athan flew towards Avelia and checked her condition before nodding towards Cornella. Avelia was not injured and she had just been forcefully put into slumber.

Athen touched Avelia\'s forehead before he used his soul energy and void pulse to recover her.

Opening her eyes, Avelia sadly smiled, "I lost...,"

"It\'s fine," Athan said with a smile as he kissed her on her forehead.

"Come on, let me give you the talismans," Raizor said with a smile.

Afterward, Raizor gave red and purple talismans to Athan, Cornella, and Katagiri as they will officially join the Supremacy team in the Grand Meet.

...

Avelia, Athan, Komin, Lienia, and Cromwer returned to the Thousand Deaths Valley via the teleportation portal.

"Athan, I need to train and practice more. I am severally lacking in combat ability," Avelia said with a sigh, "these daggers are powerful but not powerful enough."

"Indeed," Athan nodded with a smile, "we all will train together, including voidlings."

The voidlings also came out as they gathered, "yes, master!"

"We will also aid you," Komin, Cromwer, and Lienia came forward, "less than four years are left before the Grand Meet so let us get as strong as we can."

...

Naturally, Athan didn\'t want to train in his Profound Techniques. What he wanted to do was to progress in his Abyssal Void of Fabrication.

As such, he turned into a cocoon and started training in his own form while Avelia, Lily, Mimi, Huarin, Dreevindo, and Voidlings were training under Komin, Lienia, and Cromwer personally.

Those three had much experience and by helping them, they could also gain some insights to increase their fighting ability.
