Chapter 654: Athan Agrees. News Spreads.
"Since you also have masters in Orchos Firmament, then…what we will do after ascending there? Won't we have to obey those so-called masters of yours?" Sen spoke with a snort.
"Of course not! We are just supposed to bring talented candidates there and let them join our respective powers. If you can make a name of yourself there, then you will get better treatment. If you fail to make a name for yourself, then you will stay the same and progress slower. Everything will be the same there as it is here in a sense," Dreevindo said with a smile.
Athan suddenly smiled and said, "fine. We will become your candidates."
"Huh…really?" Dreevindo said with a startling experience while other Orochos Celestials were also surprised. They didn't think Athan would agree this easily.
"But there is a condition…," Athan spoke unhurriedly.
"Condition?" Dreevindo was stunned. Sigh…nobody ever put conditions in front of them because all those Chaos Supreme beings would be more than happy to become their candidate.
After all, their only way to continue getting strong safely was to jump out of this Choasverse and enter the true world, Orchos Firmament. By chance, they become powerful enough to break the membrane surrounding the Chaosverse plane; then, they would end up at a destructive zone in the Orchos Firmament and die. There was another way to enter safely to Orchos Firmament but entering by coming Orchos Celestial's candidate was thousand times beneficial to them.
"Look. There is another way to enter Orchos Firmament after reaching Chaos Supreme realm. There is a mass teleportation formation once you reach the most lively place of this Chaosverse, The Chaos Frontier zone. If you enter through that teleportation formation after reaching Chaos Supreme Realm, you can enter Orchos Firmament."
"Then why did you say that only through we can go to Orchos Firmament?" Athan asked as he narrowed his eyes.
"Cough…There is a reason! Obviously, going with us will be a thousand times more beneficial than randomly going to Orchos Firmament through that teleportation formation. If you go with us, you will already be part of a force there. It's like being born with a silver spoon in your mouth if you go there with us."
"Then what do we have to do as your candidates? Obviously, there's something more to it," Athan said with plain expression.
"Ahem…That's related to us. After we take you to Orchos Firmament, yall will fight against other candidates brought by other Orchos Firmament. If you win, then you will be rewarded, but we will also be rewarded," Dreevindo said while other Orchos Celestials nodded with smiles and grins.
"So? What's your condition?" Dreevindo asked with a thoughtful expression.
"We will become your candidates, but…," Athan paused and smiled before continuing, "I will tell you about the condition later. It won't be too excessive, and you will be able to accept it when the time comes easily, so don't worry."
"However, I have one more question," Athan remembered that there was a [Self] word written after [Chaos Supreme], so he was wondering what that was.
"What is that [Self] after Chaos Supreme realm in the scroll you gave me?" Athan asked.
Hearing that, Dreevino smiled wryly before saying, "you don't need to pay much attention to it. That [Self] is just a bunch of information regarding the dead Absolute Transcendent Mythos. After he died, some mutation happened, which resulted in the birth of Chaosverse, but the majority of that being's power was swept away. You can read [Self] if you want to, but it's really useless."
"I see," Athan nodded.
Afterward, Dreevindo and other Orchos Celestial talked with their chosen candidates, and the new Orchos Celestials chose more candidates from Athan's group.
Before leaving, Dreevindo said that if any other Orchos Celestial comes to recruit them, then plainly refuse them as there's no need to fear them because he and other Orchos Celestials will always be keeping their eyes on Athan and his group.
…
"What do we do now, Athan? Onward to the Great Bridgade Palace?" head Zangrel asked with a grin.
"Hahaha, you sure are raring to visit your previous organization. Shameless old man," dean Lenix said with a laugh.
"Well… the faster they become part of Void Empire, the better," Zangrel said.
"We will go but let's wait for one more day. I want to see the reaction of all other organizations. Also, that Izarin hadn't contacted me yet," Athan unhurriedly said as he sat back down on the couch.
"Then Athan, we will go tour around the facilities in this Chaos Monolith Hills," dean Lenix said with a grin.
"Yeah. Just rob them and take whatever you can use. If any things are useful to us, then take them," Athan said carefreely, "we are the masters of this place now."
"Let's gooooooooo!" Arcued shouted with excitement.
…
After two days, Athan finally got the contact from Izarin, who gave him the good news that Peach Blossom Valley decided to submit to Void Empire.
However, once this news spread, all other remaining organizations became cautious and tightened their defenses.
They knew that this unknown Void Empire that came out of nowhere would bear their fangs against them. Thus, they decided to band together.
Athan also decided to visit Great Bridgade Palace on the same day when he got the news from Izarin.
"Do you three remember that old man? The one who said that he would accept us as his pupils when we arrive at upper-chaosverse," Qerin said to Tiana, Avelia, and Mike.
"Uhh….yeah, I wonder how he will react to seeing us? Hehe," Mike said with a sneaky chuckle.
"We might be even more powerful than him right now, haha," Avelia said with a laugh.
…
However, they received a surprise when they reached the main territory of Great Bridgade Palace.
The Bridge Master and other powerhouses were waiting outside their territory with a giant barrier in front of them.
Behind the barrier were several large flying ships with large cannons on them.
"Yo, it seems like they are raring to fight you, Athan," Theo said with a wry expression, " after all, among us, only you can break through their defense and army. We'll be likely turned into a meat patty."
"Primo, take everyone back to our island-bubble,"
"Nyaa! Roger, master" Primo waved the tiny cat paw towards everyone except Taezin and disappeared.
On the other hand, Athan stood on the golden cloud of Taezin and looked at the well-structured formation several kilometers in front of him.
