Chapter 645 - Conquering And Training-1
"Let's go and enter the real world of this island," Athan said with a smile as he led everyone towards the pond that was the dimensional entrance into the dimension of this island bubble.
"Zangrel and I will build a defensive formation here since we got the materials for it according to the plan," Dean Lenix said to Athan.
"Master, I have rooted this spot and will help Lenix and Zangrel with the formation with my saint-realm powers," Efyeed said as the giant enlightenment tree was now rooted right beside the pond.
"I was gradually absorbing the power from the seed of transcendence, and it's transforming my soul core right now. So, I decided to pause on absorbing more power before my soul core stabilizes."
"If that's the case, then do it at your pace," Athan said to Efyeed before turning to head Zangrel and dean Lenixm, "contact me right away if someone intrudes here."
"Let's go, everyone! It's time to break some bones, your own bones, of course," Athan said with a grin as he jumped into the pond.
Tiana and others also followed him as they all jumped into the pond.
...
"Everyone! Roam here as you wish and fight! There will be some chaos phenomenons here as well. Still, they will be rare, so immediately report to everyone about it if one of you finds it," Athan said.
"Athan, what is the requirement to breakthrough to chaos lord-realm?" Tealery asked.
Athan took out a scroll and showed it to everyone before saying, "realms from chaos king-realm and onwards are a bit strange since you need to accumulate the powers that you find, reach the breakthrough point to trigger the breakthrough. Anyway, put your soul sense in this scroll, and you will understand everything."
Drizzly, Tiana, and others infused their soul sense into the scroll and saw Athan's same thing.
[Chaos Lord]
-Requirement: 10,001 Order Marks, enhance King domains and King Eidos to the limit using resources, a powerful enough soul to trigger the breakthrough. To complete breakthrough, pass the Chaos Calamity.
<upgrades>
-King domains turn into Lord Domains with increases in size, capacity, and power.
-King Eidos turns into Lord Eidos with a more powerful boost to the soul and fighting prowess when summoned to fight alongside the user.
<note>
-Without a sufficient powerful soul, the breakthrough won't trigger.
-The chaos energy and order energy remains at the same level from king-realm and onwards, but how one controls, condense, and manipulate these energies and use them in their high-level order abilities makes them powerful.
-The important thing is to learn powerful order abilities to enhance one's combat power and powerful chaotic powers to fuel these order abilities. An order ability that requires a 5000 order mark structure is obviously more powerful than an order ability that requires a 4000 order mark structure even if they use the same level of order and chaos energies.
-Enhancing one's soul is essential because even though order energy and chaos energy remain at the same level, the main factor of order abilities, which is soul energy, is different from person to person. The soul is also the foundation and source of your core strength. Hence, 50% of order marks are soul order marks that are comprehended from soul chaotic powers that enhance one's soul.
...
"I see...so our main focus is to enhance our souls and then create order abilities from order marks we comprehended through chaotic powers," Shiromi said with a thoughtful expression.
"Naturally, essence chaotic powers and body chaotic powers are also a must to enhance our combat strength. Simply soul won't do because we have to confront chaos calamity when the breakthrough triggers. Only if we pass that calamity can we get the upgrades," Tamiril said as she knew more about the upper-chaosverse.
"But, Athan. How will you?..." Lady Fu asked Athan with a doubt.
Everyone knew that Athan lost his order base completely.
"Hahaha, it's fine. I can actually become more powerful in my current state," said Athan as he laughed loudly, "there's no one to put limits on me. As long as I can survive, endure, and continue to comprehend order marks from chaotic powers and chaos phenomenons, I can make myself stronger. Since my soul can make connections with the source dimensions of all these chaotic powers I master, I don't need order energy or chaos energy. I can directly use those chaotic powers in my order abilities."
"Most importantly, hehe..."Athan dominantly grinned as he spoke, "my body can increase in strength without any limit as long as I can endure. And...I can endure."
He can endure.
Everyone knew that, and those words were enough.
"Alright. Now let's move on with the things. You all start roaming and fighting. Collect all king-grade and lord-grade resources and use them to enhance yourselves. The resources from king-grade and onward are also unique because, from what I heard, each of them much have sentience and will help you progress in your order marks or help you create your order ability structure. Oh, and don't forget to use them to enhance your king-domains and king-eidos to the limit as well."
"Yeah, this is so straightforward. There are no sub-stages or anything. Everything depends on our ability to fight and our order ability," Avelia said while nodding.
"Lord Athan. The general consensus here is that one must first create a suitable set of order abilities to create their unique battle style. As one progresses, one can upgrade these order abilities. Naturally, they can also master some single powerful order ability for specific purposes," Yoha said respectfully.
"Mhmm...Then we will start moving now, Athan," Tiana said with a smile, "everyone, group yourself into a team of three's and four's."
"Yeah, let's go!" Arcued shouted before he, Tealery, Sen, and Shiromi flew away.
Drizzly, Tiana and Avelia moved together.
Theo, Mike, Qerin, and Lady Fu grouped up and flew in a random direction from others.
The Nimpere brothers permanently moved in a squad, so they also flew away in a different direction.
Athan also sent ten voidlings with each of their groups, and they also got a new stock of voidling zoids from Athan. So, even though they were just a bunch of chaos kings, each team could definitely kill lord-grade chaos beasts with this much combat power in their arsenal.
After reaching 10% and having a qualitative transformation, Athan's voidlings had become more powerful obviously, and the production speed of the void grotto also increased.
"Athan, I will have to report you something about voidling."
Athan suddenly heard Tiana's voice in his head as she initiated telepathy.
Athan--, "About voidlings? what do you have to report?"
Tiana--, "These voidlings mainly use chaotic powers infused in them by their users, and this is supported by the structure of the runic arts that you created. However, now that everyone upgraded their powers significantly and qualitative difference in energy change, the voidlings are not lasting long. It's fine for now, but once we break through to the chaos lord realm and use more powerful chaotic powers, they will not support our chaotic powers."
"I see," Athan nodded as it made sense, "don't worry. I will make progress in my Runic Artist path and revamp their structures before you all break through to chaos lord realm."
Tiana--, "Alright."
*cough*...lord Athan," Tamiril called out with an awkward expression.
Athan looked at her with a questioning gaze, "what's the matter? Anyway, I have a task for you four. There should be low-tier ken stone mines in this dimension, so go and find them."
"Eh, but lord Athan....w-we didn't know that you would select lord-grade island bubble as your target. It's hard for chaos kings to survive here and aside from me, Yoha, Gouken, and Fourjir are still at the peak of Evagon-realm. There's a large upgrade from Evagon-realm to king-realm in terms of strength since we start wielding true energies of chaosverse here, the order energy and chaos energy...but."
Yoka weakly smiled before saying, "We still only have chaos force and order force. Our attacks won't even make a scratch on chaos beasts here."
Tamiril nodded and said wryly, "my soul power can affect lord-grade beasts because of your blessings, and I can manage to run against lord-grade beasts but defeating them alone is far-fetched."
"Athan, how about I go with them?" Linci asked Athan.
"Good idea. You can protect them with your power easily," Athan nodded with a smile, "also, check their performance and tell me who did the best out of those three. The time frame is fifteen days...," Athan looked at Yoha, Gouken, and Foujin with a faint smile, "I will use my blessing on one of you after fifteen days."
"B-but...lord Athan. She is also a newbie chaos king powerhouse...C-can she protects us?" Gouken doubtfully asked while hesitating.
"Hahahaha, you know what? She can destroy this entire dimension if she goes all out, so don't worry. I am not breaking my oath about sending you on your deaths. However...," Athan narrowed his eyes coldly at the end before speaking, "if you want to leave, then it's fine. Make your decision now."
Hearing that, Tamiril hurridly sound transmitted to Yoha, Gouken, and Fourjin, 'don't! The power that lord Athan bestows on you is something that you will only understand when you get it! You will definitely regret leaving here!'
Yoha, Gouken, and Foujir looked at each other before their expression turned determined. The strong words of Tamiril convinced them to stay.
"We will stay here, lord Athan."
"Good. Then move out."
As such, Linci, Tamiril, Yoha, Gouken, and Foujir left as well.
