Chapter 244: Curious Elenex

" Kid...I don't want to interfere with what you do because I can't predict the result of such interferences. The only thing I can guess is that your life is filled with such difficulties and dangers that I can't even imagine. It is outside of my scope. So...Good luck, Athan Void. You can stay here as long as you want and no one will interfere with what you do. "

Saying this, senior Rishen disappeared with a smile on his face.

Athan stood there dumbfounded because he didn't expect senior Rishen to leave just like that and let him stay here.

But he soon snapped out of his those and sighed as he muttered, " I wanted to ask how much time passed since the Roumbra blood war started, but he left just like that. "

Shaking his head, Athan closed his eyes as he put those things back in his mind. Right now, He needed to find or create a proper way to get strong.

" Hey, human. Can you tell me how did you get that power? "

Hearing the voice, Athan opened his and was shocked to see the universe's will in front of him.

But this time, its appearance was different. It looked like an adult with 6ft height and looked around twenty-five years old. Instead of blur features, It had clear features and wore beach boxers and an Aloha-type shirt with a curious expression on his face. His hairs were dark blue and white skin without any blemish. His eyes were light blue with dark iris.

Athan recognized him due to the slight similarities. Still, most importantly, The feeling and aura this person gave off were the same as the one who kicked him out from the Roumbra Blood war dimension.

" Are you will of this universe? "

" Mhmm mhmm...You can call me Elenex. The one you saw previously was my clone that handles the Roumbra blood war dimension. I have many clones that manage different works of this universe. "

Athan was slightly shocked at this revelation and asked, " And you are the real will of the universe? Also...can you tell me how much time passed since the Roumbra Blood war started? "

Elenex grinned and nodded, " Correct, I am the genuine will of this universe and...It's been fifteen years since the Roumra blood war started. "

Hearing that fifteen years passed since he was sucked inside the genome power whirlpool, He was shocked and wondered, ' Tiana, Avelia, and others must have progressed to the first layer by now. I wonder how they are doing? Wait...If they also filled the third branch of their genome tree and were transported...'

Seeing Athan in a daze, Elenex asked, " Now would you tell me how did you get that power? "

Athan looked at Elenex and started thinking rapidly before finally decided to speak, " I don't remember fully. All I know is that I was in the midst of extreme darkness of nothingness, and it erased my very existence and everything related to me inside the people who know me. But I managed to grasp something at my last moment, and..."

Athan told Elenex the truth after that. Like how he encountered a being and a beast that, despite not giving him any feeling of danger, were probably so powerful that he couldn't even imagine.

Elenex appeared even more curious and excited after hearing the story of Athan, " Hahaha, Interesting. So, You currently don't know how to progress from now on? "

Athan nodded and became hopeful as he asked, " Do you have any idea on how should I proceed? How to store primal energy inside my body? "

Elenex shook his head while smiling, " I don't know. Strangely, I can't even sense what is inside your body and the power with my senses and means which are the most profound in this universe. Though, I can gauge your physical strength, which is pretty weak. "

Athan felt dejected but only for a second because he knew he would have to do this himself.

" Athan. Why don't we do this? From my experiences spanning eons, I can say with a hundred percent certainty that you see and feel things more clearly when you are hovering between life and death. So...I'll drop you in a situation where you will hover over a thin line between life and death. What do you think? "

Athan was dumbfounded hearing this, but...He felt that this idea was feasible, and hearing about hovering between life and death made him instinctively excited.

" Alright. This idea is good, but...Why do you want to help me? "

Elenex laughed out loud with excitement, " Because I am curious. I want to see what happens and how you find your way. I'm bored most of the time, so you are like a breath of fresh air for me, and I can't wait to suck you in. "

" W-what?...." Athan almost spurted blood when he heard the last line. Though he got the metaphor within that sentence, it was still weird, ' I wonder where he learned this line? '

" Alright, Athan! Let's go. "

Seeing Athan's reaction, Elenex grinned, and with a wave of his right hand, Both of them disappeared. He felt that excitement from Athan, so he didn't ask more and directly took Athan to dangerous places.

...

Both Athan and Elenex appeared in an unfamiliar sky filled with wind currents.

But Athan was covered in a powerful and profound barrier and was floating beside the Elenex. Of course, Elenex was the one who was supporting Athan in the air since Athan was not capable of flying.

" Why did you bring me here? " Athan asked Elenex confusedly as he looked around. The only thing he could see was a sky filled with wind currents. He didn't know how powerful these wind currents were because he couldn't feel anything while inside this azure barrier.

Elenex looked at Athan and grinned, " The beings of my universe have made step by step progress so that they can finally grasp the highest level of power of this universe, but...

Your situation is different, and you have managed to grasp something even more profound than what my universe can offer. According to what I think about your situation, You might be able to do that again and grasp the highest level of power of this universe if you are between life and death. So...I bought you here. "

After saying this, The barrier around Athan disappeared.

*Zreeeee...Zreee....*

" What the hell! "
