The first-sized orb condensed with abyssal darkness flew towards Dreevindo, and seeing it, Dreevindo stretched his hand forward to touch it.

Before his hand touched the orb, Dreevindo thought, 'when this hit me the first time, I was blocking it with my genome power and orchos energy. However, this power rapidly consumed them, indicating that it's a higher power than my genome power and orchos energy. Now since Athan is saying it's more powerfu-'

"FUCK!"

Just as Dreevindo's hand touched the abyssal darkness orb, he cursed and disappeared.

Athan smiled as he saw Dreevindo disappearing and contacted Kingvi to pick him up.

After two and a half seconds, a portal opened in front of Athan.

...

"Next target," said Athan as he sat on the chair leisurely, "make arrangement. I will move out after an hour."

After saying he closed his eyes and focused on his soul.

Inside void region...

Athan's soul was in the same appearance him, with the difference being that the soul had a black and white body.

Externally, the soul's body was black, but one could see strange white patterns inside the soul.

"Efyeed, Limbus, and Reigen. Are you ready for another boost? Make use of this soul power and voidpulse to enhance yourselves," said Athan before he provided his soul power and voidpulse to three of them.

"Yes, master."

After providing them the boost, Athan took ten minutes to stabilize his soul for the massive power-up he received by devouring the pure refined soul power of Puppet Lord Flake.

'My current soul power's magnitude is already the same as the one I just devoured. However, my soul quality is much higher. Hmmm...I guess I can try to devour two or three more souls at the same power as Puppet Lord Flake before they stopped affecting my soul's normal growth,' Athan thought after inspecting his status deeply.

"Hey, Athan!! What the heck was that?"

Hearing the voice, Athan opened his eyes and saw Dreevindo with a sweaty expression.

"Your hand is fine," said Athan with a faint smile, "that's good."

"Good, my ass," Dreevindo said as he waved his hand with a weak expression, "That orb broke through my defensive curtain shield made of genome power and orchos energy. It simply overrode the limit they could take at once, so I couldn't consume that orb's power continuously by providing my energy to my shield like before. Sigh...I had to cut my hand in the end."

After saying that, Dreevindo sat on the chair across Athan on the red cliff.

Those four Chaos Supremes were not here right now as they went to select the next target for Athan and make arrangements for him to reach them.

"Why did your power become so much stronger in such a short time?" Dreevindo said with a sigh as he picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"The previous time I attacked you was with five percent of my power. However, this time, it was twenty percent," said Athan with a faint smile.

"What the fuck?" Dreevindo was stunned, "you are joking, right? five percent to twenty percent had such big jump in potency of power then...how powerful will it be at hundred percent?"

Dreevindo's mind was going into hyperdrive mode as he simply couldn't imagine Athan's power scaling once it reached a hundred percent.

'Even though this was just my avatar, my real body in Orchos Firmament felt pain passing through when my hand was devoured by that orb. This power...it's unblockable. If Athan's soul becomes more powerful and he uses his full power, he...won't he possess the power to kill my real body through my Avtar?'

'Athan...either I become his trustworthy friend, or I have to erase him completely once he reaches Orchos Firmament. However, if I tried to kill him and failed...,' Dreevindo thought and felt the second option was risky, 'I have no reason to antagonize him. Instead, by supporting him, I might be able to rise.'

"At hundred percent? I'll show you later," Athan said with an indifferent smile.

"Ahem, no need. Anyway, You won't stop, right? Do you really have to kill two more candidates?" Dreevindo asked with a solemn expression.

"Nope, I won't stop," Athan shook his head as he plainly refused, "also, I might kill three instead of two. In short, I will stop devouring them once their refined soul power stops affecting the growth of my soul."

Hearing that, Dreevindo turned silent for a moment before nodding his head, "fine. Those orchos celestials won't interfere here if you kill their candidates. However, they will print you in their mind, and once you arrive at Orchos Firmament, you will be targeted."

"No problem. I will have a surprise for them in-store once that happens," Athan said with a plain grin, "they will become my food as well."

Dreevindo internally shivered a bit before he stood up and spoke with a sigh, "Fine, fine. Do as you wish. I will meet you later, possibly after you are done with your hunt."

Afterward, Dreevindo disappeared.

On the other hand, Athan fell into thought as he thought about his situation.

'I need to make full use of my power. My current method is too crude. I need to create spells based on my power and my power only,' Aren thought with a frown as he observed the voidpulse.

Voidpulse was something that could be turned into anything as long as he wished. However, he must have a full understanding of it.

But after reaching 20% in his comprehension of AVOF, he felt that he could do much more with his voidpulse.

'Voidpulse...I need to create something with it...something that can bring out the full potential of my abyssal darkness. It looks like It's time to make use of that idea I got when I reached a ten percent understanding of AVOF,' Athan thought.

'Those bull shit chaos energy, order energy, and those things which are not mine to begin with, are of no use.'

'I must create a power structure that is reliant on me and me only,' Athan thought with determination and cold eyes, 'It should be based on my soul power, my physical body, my voidpulse, and my abyssal darkness only.'
