Athan slowly opened his eyes as he saw an unfamiliar roof.

' This is...a room? '

The room was small, and he seemed to be sleeping on a bed.

After opening his eyes, He got up and started stretching his hands and legs.

" This feels good..." Athan muttered as he got away from the bed and started stretching his whole body.

He was feeling innate relaxation and refreshment. An involuntarily smiled formed on his face due to his own mood.

Athan himself didn't realize, but he was pushing himself too far since the day of his rebirth.

For the past years, He had never once taken a break and only focused on getting stronger.

His body, mind, and soul were slowly but surely put on the strain and innate exhaustion accumulated to a great degree. Especially last eight months, he was training in higher levels of powers like order methods and order techniques continuously.

But after waking up, Athan felt his soul, body, and mind elevating, and he also realized what happened to him, ' Taking proper rest is essential, huh...'

At least, When he was with Tiana and Avelia, they would take proper breaks, and even later, He would still have breaks in-between to take some rest.

But after losing everyone, He became deeply desperate without himself realizing it, and he only had one thing in mind: Getting stronger as fast as possible.

Athan gripped his fist tightly with live fire in his eyes, ' Tiana, Avelia....wait for me. I will definitely get you back and become strong enough that no one can take away anything from me and defeat me. Strongest...I will become the strongest. '

After thinking of this, Athan closed his eyes and took a deep breath as he finally felt one thing that he had forgotten for a very long time.

Inner Peace.

He has his goals, and all left is to work towards them. Though one of the goals will be extremely hard as becoming the strongest is no easy feat.

Athan still didn't know the peak of this Chaosverse, let alone the many wonders it contained. But he will experience them, absorb them and get stronger.

At this moment, The door opened, and Mr. Devon walked in with a wry smile before sighing a relief, " Phew...It would have been really bad if you didn't wake up today. Many things happened while you were sleeping. "

" Ohh...? " Athan raised his eyes and asked calmly, " How long did I sleep? "

Mr. Devon rolled his eyes before saying, " One month! You slept for a whole month. Anyway, The Tournament is going to start soon, and everyone has already gathered at the main avenue. I will tell you some important information on the way. So, let's go. "

.

.

Athan and Mr. Devon arrived at the avenue where many people were gathered.

The avenue was a platform in the middle of a forest.

Seven people were sitting in the chair in the sky. Valeria was one of the seven people, and she seemed upset and worried. Well, Five other people had the same feeling except for the man in the middle.

Mr. Devon and Athan arrived, where many people were gathered, but Athan had seen most of them.

There were approx seventy people, and thirty of them were the top thirty contestants of the competition. While the other thirty were also contestants of the same competition but they were of one order base higher than Athan and others. They were the top thirty of other competition that was meant for Tier-2 order base people.

" Athan! Are you alright now? "

Celesti walked towards Athan and asked in a concerned tone. A month ago, She arrived later in the central underground hall and saw that Athan had lost consciousness and fainted.

Athan smiled and nodded towards her, " I am fine. Better than ever. "

At this moment, Sen also arrived as she hit Athan's shoulder with her fist before saying with a smile, " I almost thought that you would not wake up even today and miss the tournament. Anyway, it's unfortunate that we won't be able to fight in this tournament anymore. "

Sen shook her with a wry expression while saying.

Athan nodded as he heard everything from Mr. Devon on the way.

There were some drastic changes in the format of the tournament. They even changed the chaos phenom dimension once again as now it will be held in an even more dangerous chaos phenom dimension that was shockingly ported here by the Envoy.

The so-called Envoy seemed to be a big shot of someplace, and even Mr. Devon didn't know much about him except for the one thing.

That one thing was that this Envoy was from one of the Ancient powers, just like the Greate Bridgade Palace.

When Athan heard from Mr. Devon that this Envoy was from the same level of the ancient organization like the Greate Bridgade Palace, His heart couldn't help but beat fast as he felt anticipation and excitement.

After all, Tiana, Avelia, and others were taking the Great Bridgade Palace program training, and he also believed that they would pass and survive in that program and join the Great Bridgade Palace.

Now since an Envoy of another Ancient power was here, then It was likely that he had some purpose. But to know that, He will have to survive in this tournament until the end.

Yes, Survive. Because the new format of this tournament was surviving in this dangerous Chaos Phenom Dimension filled with powerful chaos beasts, chaotic phenomenons, and mysterious powers.

" Athan, don't you think that this is a bit unfair to us? "

Hearing the question of Celesti, Athan grinned with excitement in his eyes, " I don't care. My aim is to win, and whoever blocks my path..."

A dangerous gleam passed through his eyes as he paused and didn't continue.

But after saying that, He put up close eyes smile, " Although I understand why you feel that way, You should just focus on doing your best and survive. Since this Chaos Phenom Dimension is unique, there should be a solution about the format in there too. "

" Uhh...Hope so. " Celesti wryly smiled as she couldn't understand why Athan was not worried.

After all, This new format of tournament mixed up both Tier-2 order base people and Tier-3 order base people together in one chaos phenom dimension.
