The Tale of the Void Emperor-Chapter 665: Continuing.
"Do you want to die or live?" Athan asked plainly.
"Of course, I want to live," Qetalin spoke fearfully.
"Yeah, everyone wants to live," Athan said with a nod as he infused more abyssal darkness inside the beasty mouth in front of Qetalin's soul.
Afterward, Athan removed the handshake and sat down on the couch before speaking, "you see that beastly mouth looming over your soul?"
Qetalin hurridly nodded while sweating.
"I'm sure you already know, but your life is in my hands now," Athan spoke without any emotion in his voice, "do what I say next, and I will not kill you."
Qetalin turned stiff hearing that and didn't know what kind of things Athan would force him to do. However, he had no choice but to agree.
"W-what will I need to do?"
"You must know some Chaos Supremes, right?" Athan asked.
"Yes," Qetalin nodded, unable to figure out Athan's demands, 'does he want to trap more Chaos Supremes like me and then do some kind of big work for him?'
"Call a single Chaos Supreme powerhouse here using any method. That powerhouse shouldn't know about your current plight, or I will kill you instantly. Temptation, discussion, or anything, just call one powerhouse here today," said Athan before he closed his eyes, "I am waiting."
...
"Damn...why do I have to suffer like this? FUCK!" Qetalin cursed with anger and helplessness in another room.
He looked at the beastly mouth in front of his soul inside him and trembled before he sighed.
He took some deep breaths and calmed down before taking out a contact card.
"Irenka, do you know why I left the meeting in a hurry?"
"Why?"
"Because I received an opportunity to be tested in a trial held by an Orchos Celestial. I can invite two more people, and I am thinking about inviting you and Gorlon."
"What! You are not kidding, right?"
"Nope. I contacted you first so we can discuss more. Afterward, we will invite either Gorlon or someone else."
"Hmmm...Gorlon is weaker than both of us but trustworthy. Anyway, I'm coming there first."
"Yeah, let's discuss first. I also need to tell you more about this," said Qetalin before he held up the contact card.
"Haaah..." Qetalin sighed before freshening up his expression and adjusting his mood to match this situation before standing up.
...
Athan opened his eyes and saw the door of the hall opening before two people came out. A man and a woman.
Qetalin and Irenka.
Irenka was a human lady but had sparkling blue and red feathered wings and a crown on her head.
Seeing Athan, Irenka was surprised and turned to Qetalin, "who is he?"
Qetalin grinned and said, "he is the one who brought this opportunity to us. Come let me introduce you to each other."
Athan stood up and walked towards them as they also walked towards him.
Stretching his hand out, Athan spoke with a nod, "my name is Athan,"
"Hello," Irenka smiled and stretched her hand as she shook hands with Athan, "I am Irenka."
Athan smiled and nodded before he attacked her with his burst of soul power and conjured a beastly mouth made of abyssal darkness in front of her soul, just like he did with Qetalin.
"Y-you...," Irenka was shocked as fear of death welled up in her. She turned to the side only to look at Qetalin slumping on the couch with a sigh.
"Don't blame me, Irenka; I had no other choice. You would do the same if you were in my position," Qetalin spoke while shaking his head.
"P-please...please don't kill me," Irenka begged with fear while Athan took back his hand from the handshake. She knew that the person in front of her could kill her any second and was still in disbelief at how was this possible.
Abyssal darkness released from Athan's body as it took the shape of a large beastly mouth behind Irenka.
However, instead of eating Irenka, the beastly mouth devoured Qetalin to its left side, who was sitting on a sofa.
Qetalin wanted to run as he noticed the killing intent, but Athan attacked with his soul power and suppressed him as Qetalin felt dizzy before getting devoured.
Irenka trembled and didn't dare to move in front of death.
On the other hand, Athan took back the beastly mouth of abyssal darkness inside him and closed his eyes.
"Mhmmm...Very powerful origin soul power," muttering this, Athan opened his eyes and looked at Irenka, "open a portal, we are leaving."
"W-where?" Irenka asked with some hesitation.
"To your territory," Athan said.
...
In the private residence hall of the Leaf Carnage Court's leader, Irenka...
Athan sat on the couch while Irenka poured him a cup of tea filled with a deadly poison.
'Will it work? Even if it doesn't work, my life is in his hands right now. I have to take this risk,' Irenka thought as she poured in the tea.
"What will happen after the news of Qetalin's death spreads?" Athan asked Irenka as he picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Right after he took a sip, a malevolent and deadly toxic force assaulted his body and soul.
Irenka watched as sweat fell like a waterfall from her body.
However, Athan didn't even budge as the abyssal darkness entirely erased the poison that assaulted his body and soul.
Looking at Irenka, he continued drinking tea and spoke plainly, "answer me."
Irenka trembled a bit as she knelt down and hurriedly spoke, "please forgi-"
"stop wasting time and answer my question," Athan interrupted her as he didn't want to hear her begging or any other bull shit.
'Is he not mad at me? Why is he so indifferent to this?' Irenka thought.
She stood up and answered Athan's question hurridly, "Qetalin's death...it will bring shock to many people because the death of a Chaos Supreme is a very rare thing. However, he didn't have any relative Chaos Supremes, so I doubt anything major will happen except for the internal strife of the Skyhigh Menzi Fort."
"Mhmm," Athan nodded before putting the finished teacup down, "There should be powerful dimensions filled with potent chaotic powers in this layer as well, right? Bring me to one."
"Bring me to the most powerful supreme-grade dimension," Athan continued as he stood up, "Don't try to do anything funny while I am inside the dimension because your life is in my hands from now on."
