"W-we didn't do a-anything," one powerhouse who was in a separate group of hundred something powerhouse spoke with fear in her voice. She looked like a dwarf race person.

Athan looked at her and the entire group of one hundred and thirteen powerhouses, including Reventas and others.

His indifferent face showed a faint smile as he spoke, "my eyes were closed, but I knew what happened in the span of last two months and twenty-five days."

Hearing that, those hundred and thirteen powerhouses who didn't attack sighed a relief.

'Since this many people gathered here, the one who is after Mimi should be here as well,' Athan thought as he looked at everyone with narrowed eyes.

"I will not kill all of you, even though I can," Athan spoke unhurriedly, causing everyone to shiver a bit. He only had the power to fight them all while this baptism process was happening, and it would end in five days.

After five days, if these many powerhouses attacked him again, he would die beyond doubt of death.

Nobody spoke anything and just looked at Athan with fear, waiting for him to finish speaking.

"Don't think about running. If you do, then you will only greet death," Athan continued before finally going onto the main point, "you should know about a conflict where one Everlasting Legendary powerhouse and one Legendary Call powerhouse died."

"They had Ark of Exordium," Athan continued, "who had a conflict with them?"

Hearing that, all of them were surprised looking at a man in the group of hundred something powerhouse who didn't attack Athan.

"I had a conflict with them," a slim Devilish man spoke. He had exquisite silver horns with black patterns and sharp wings of the same color as his horns.

"So? did you get the Ark of Exordium?" Athan asked with a smile.

The devilish man shook his head, "not yet. However, I have recently found out that their daughter has entered here. I have already sent my people to search for her."

"Oh? how did you find out that she entered here?" Athan asked with a surprised expression.

"I was constantly tracking her using the bloodline aura of her parents that I saved before killing them."

Athan nodded before his eyes flashed.

"Wh-"

*Roar...*

The horrifying beastly mouth appeared and devoured the devil man in an instant.

Seeing that, everyone shivered. This time, they saw it clearly because they were watching the man from the start.

'Instant kill...'

'He is definitely above Legendary! DAMN!'

'But why is he here then? All those who breakthrough from Legendary are forcefully transported outside of Orchos Firmament!'

'The governing force of Orchos Firmament is not working against him or what?'

'I know much more about it than you all. The generations of my people have become Absolute Transcendent Mythos, and after regaining their connection, they have talked to us. The forceful transportation is related to their soul. We have to break through our soul limit and reach the peak in it. Once we finally comprehend the profundity peak of Legendary and breakthrough our soul's power again, we become Absolute Transcendent Mythos and start our final power-up in our Genealogy Path to shape it into myth.'

'Which means that soul comes first...so, if this Athan hadn't been transported outside, then it means that his soul power hadn't reached the required level to turn him into Mythos. But he wields that strange power around him that we can't make heads or tails about it.'

'Yes, that power around him. It's definitely above the Legendary realm, but his soul power must still be in Legendary. Damn, how could this happen?'

'I don't know. All I hope right now is that he makes his soul power hit the limit and get out from Orchos Firmament...sigh.'

"Now those twenty-five people...," Athan muttered before his eyes flashed again, and twenty-five beastly mouths appeared in front of those twenty-five powerhouses.

Deadsea union master saw the mouth in front of him, and he was ready to blast with all his power and run away.

*BOOOOOOOOOOM...**BOOOOOOOOOOM...*BOOOOOOOOOOM...*BOOOOOOOOOOM...*BOOOOOOOOOOM...*BOOOOOOOOOOM...*BOOOOOOOOOOM...*BOOOOOOOOOOM...*BOOOOOOOOOOM...*BOOOOOOOOOOM...*BOOOOOOOOOOM...

All other powerhouses were also blasted with their full power as they didn't want to die.

Alas...

*ROAR.....*

All of their power simply disappeared and was devoured by the mouth, but it didn't even budge and devoured them quickly and easily.

"EVERYONE RUN!"

All those powerhouses, including the ones who didn't attack Athan, invoked their Legendary powers to teleport away.

"I said...NO ONE CAN ESCAPE!"

*Dhroooooo...*

A rumbling sound reverberated before a black domain expanded with Athan as the center, covering thousands of kilometers of space inside the domain.

Every single person inside the domain stopped their movement. Not because they were forcefully stopped but because they had to stop unless they wanted to die.

Their eyes were trembling and filled with fear of death.

"It seems like you know your situation now."

This voice of Athan felt like a mantra of death to them.

"Come back here and stand obediently," Athan said plainly.

Reventas and Nukkil also sweated intensely. They didn't run like others, but the threat of death looming over them was the same as others inside the domain that Athan conjured.

Inside this domain, Athan could make anyone disappear in a blink of an eye. But he didn't want to do that.

If he killed them using this void domain, their souls would also get destroyed. However, he wanted their souls. He wanted until their souls had no effect on him.

To convince them to stay obedient, he took out the souls of twenty-seven people he killed after opening his eyes.

"Look at these souls; they are all still alive," Athan said as he took out their souls from his void region, which was already upgraded. That's why he could take souls from the beast's mouth to directly inside his void region.

His devouring power of abyssal darkness was now connected to the void region as well. His void region was the abyss, and when abyssal darkness devours something, it either turns into the void pulse or...enters into the abyss(void region), according to Athan's wish.

Everyone saw the souls of people that Athan killed. But those souls were bound by grey chains and were suppressed.

"As you can see...I didn't truly kill them. But if you try to run now, you will truly and utterly die without even a chance of reincarnation. Your existence will be wiped away, and everyone will forget you. That's the kind of death you will face if you try to run now. You will become void, nothing. Not a trace of you will remain in reality or in anyone's dream!"

Hearing such a kind of death, everyone almost pissed themselves.

To die like that...it was the worst kind of death!

"V-void Emperor...should we call you that, my lord?"

"We will not run away, void emperor. Please tell us what do we need to do live."

'Sigh...this Athan is really getting scarier,' Nukkil thought before looking at Reventas with a wry smile, 'you were really right. This guy is out of this world.'

...

At the most mysterious place in Outrious Expanse, six beings were seated in different thrones while one throne was empty.

"Hahaha, if he kills those powerhouses that have their ancestors in Outrious Expanse, then he is going to face serious troubles once he comes to Outrious Expanse."

"He has solidified himself at 55% AVOF. To fight against powerhouses that are below our level in Outrious Expanse, he will need 95% of understanding in AVOF."

"It's fine. None of those so-called ancestors that went to Outrious Expanse from this Orchos Firmament have reached Fear-level. However, he will indeed progress to 70% to fight against those who have solidified their positions in Outrious Expanse if he kills many of those kids in Orchos Firmament."

"You bet he is going to kill a lot of them. His hunger for soul power says it all. Well, he could take it easy, but since we have practically caused him to hurry, he will definitely devour many souls right now and then use them in his training to progress in the next several years."

...

Seeing everyone begging and licking his feet, Athan faintly smiled as he decided to be open with what he was going to do to them, 'I can check their memories and get an understanding of techniques to improve my techniques as well.'

"So you all have two options....," Athan unhurriedly started speaking as everyone listened to it intently with nervous expressions.
