The Tale of the Void Emperor
chapter-181

" Master Kitnon, What work do you have for this humble servant? " The bearded man said to Kitnon while kneeling.

Kitnon had no expression on his face as he just spoke plainly, " Derber, I have a task for you. This task will last for an unknown time, but if you follow through with it, I will...take you as my official servant. "

Hearing this, Derber was so excited that he wanted to shout out, but he suppressed it and said with a red face and resolute voice, " No matter how much time it takes. I will follow through Master's task at all costs!! "

Although he became a servant of this man who seemingly looked in his thirties 10 years ago, He was devoted to him like the most loyal dog. He didn't know the background of his master, but he knew that he came from a very mysterious and powerful place. The reward he gave out were things that he could only dream of.

It's been five thousand years since he was lording over this region in Chaosverse, and although there are many powerful beings here, Who are even more powerful than him, He still felt that his Master was by far the most powerful being he had seen.

And this time's reward made him most excited because being an official servant of his master means he could go and serve his master...Whenever he went. At least, This is what he hoped for.

" Your task is to live on a planet in a lower axiom universe. You can bring your people there if you want and enjoy life with mortals but don't do any collateral damage there and just observe the whole planet and its surrounding regions carefully; if you see anyone coming from outer space, then directly inform me. "

" Yes, Master. I will never slack off in doing this task. But...Master, how should I contact you? "

Derber didn't protest or felt displeased even though staying in universes; heck, A lower axiom universe at that was really useless to him. Still, No matter how shitty tasks he gets from his master, He would complete them by giving his all.

Kitnon pointed his finger towards Derber before saying, " You can contact me by activating this Comm-Jigen spirit. " As soon as he finished speaking, A white light released from his index finger and entered into the forehead of Derber.

Derber was dazed for a moment before he spoke in a serious voice, " Rest assured, master, As soon as I get wind of even outer space mosquitoes, I will be sure to inform you. "

Kitnon was speechless hearing him and said with a frown, " You don't have to inform me of mosquitoes. Just look out for humanoid beings. "

Derber was embarrassed but didn't say anything as he thought, ' I was just showing my devotion to you. Of course, I wouldn't inform you of outer space mosquitoes. Wait...are there even outer space mosquitoes in the first place? '

Afterward, Kitnon showed the coordinates and path of the lower axion universe and the position of planet Earth to Derber.

After arranging this, Kitnon also disappeared into a mirror while muttering with a helpless face, " I really don't want to face that devil, sigh..."

Derber already knew the location, so he returned to Dun Breyas, where his palace was situated, and took three of his subordinates to Athan's home planet, Earth.

What will happen to the normal people of Earth when a powerful being like Derber stays there? Will he just silently live there or transform the Earth into his playground while following his master's order?

...

After Athan and Tiana came out from the special space, They tried to enter the castle again, and they could even go past the caste's gate, but instead of going inside the castle, They would be teleported outside.

So they just waited outside, and it's already been close to 11 hours. Hopefully, Avelia, Qerin, and Mike would come out soon.

Tiana had a worried expression as she said, " Athan...What if something- "

" Say no more. They will be fine. " Athan spoke with a steeled expression. He believed that they would be fine even if they run out of their geno energy, They could also use their geno art without cost, and they could also choose to hide in pathways and move cautiously.

Time passed slowly as they anxiously waited. Thirty minutes seemed like longer than the past 11 hours.

Tiana grabbed Athan's hand tightly as she closed her eyes. Athan couldn't use his soul technique because even though he used it on them before entering the castle, Its duration was over just two hours ago.

' Please come back safely. ' Athan and Tiana were thinking the same thing.

The time was up after a few seconds. They saw people appearing out of nowhere as they exited the castle. Many of them also disappeared right after coming out as they went towards the above layer of this Roumbra blood war dimension because they broke through to the Spirit Astride plane inside the castle.

Athan and Tiana started to look out for them as Athan shouted in a loud voice, " AVELIA, MIKE, QERIN!! "

His loud voice attracted many, but most of them didn't bother as they were too excited to digest the rewards they received from the castle.

But it seems someone was displeased with Athan's loud shout.

" Hey, you scummy human. Stop being so loud here. It's not your father's playground. " A Grakil race man snorted and said as he looked at Athan with displeasure.

Athan didn't want to bother himself with this person as he just wanted to find Avelia and others hurriedly, so he just coldly looked at him and said two words.

" Fuck off!! "

The Grakil race man's face turned ugly because he always thought that others races besides the five great races were inferior, and seeing Athan disregarding him like this, He felt bad. " Humph, A mere- "

" BROOO!! "

" ATHAN..."

The grakil race man shut his mouth as he saw three more humans approaching Athan and Tiana and scurried away while thinking, ' Damm it. I might be able to face two of them, but definitely not five. Fucking lucky bastard. '

The Grakil race man ran away as he cursed internally about Athan being lucky. Though in reality, he was the lucky one.

Athan wasn't even paying attention to that Grakil race man after telling him off, but right after that, he saw Avelia, Mike, and Qerin coming towards him as they were attracted by his shout and felt very glad as he smiled.

" Hahaha, We are all safe and sound. Good. " Athan laughed and said as he just took all of them inside the special space.

The ones outside were surprised to see all of them disappear, but it was not an uncommon sight here, and they didn't bother to pay detailed attention because they were also busy staying on guard and finding a place to digest their rewards.
