"Wha...what the hell?" the Eagle uttered in disbelief. His attack was being neutralized with a black tornado that spawned from the cocoon.
Moreover, the Anarchy symbols around the cocoon were increasing.
However, their increment stopped at 5890. Still, the Eagle's attack was neutralized.
*crack...*
The cocoon started cracking before it burst into gray, white, and black forces as Athan came out. The forces entered inside his body before he looked at the Eagle with a wary expression.
He immediately consumed 10 Abyssal Blood Crystals and activated his void frames. Activating void frames only took 1 Abyssal Blood Crystals while the other 7 Abyssal Blood Crystal's energy was circulating in his body, ready to be consumed when Athan used any of his void arts.
As he consumed those 10 Abyssa Blood Crystals, the Anarchy symbols started increasing again, reaching number 7320.
Absorbing these ten new Abyssal Blood crystals at a time was his current limit. If he absorbed one more, his soul would be under pressure, making him unable to do anything, and his body would be destroyed.
"This feeling, I finally understand," Athan spoke as a wide grin formed on his face, "It's the feeling of being vulnerable and of being challenged."
Since the time he got Abyssal Void of Fabrication, he always felt passively invulnerable. Even the wills of worlds couldn't see through him, and his qualitative power was always higher. Even though there were some life-threatening moments, he still solved them because he had counter-measure against them through his unique power.
However, when he arrived in Outrious Expanse, that innate invulnerability disappeared. A feeling of being challenged seeped into him through the atmosphere of this new world.
"Athan! You are an interesting person. You possess a power unknown to me, but I can feel that its origins are somewhere in this Outrious Expanse, just like all other powers that these people make resonance with," the Eagle spoke, its voice indifferent.
"It's rather strange how were you able to resonate and comprehend that power even before arriving here," the Eagle spoke, "Anyway, I have an offer for you. You should be aware that these people behind me are your enemies. They want you dead because you killed their descendants in Orchos Firmament."
"What do you mean, Lord?" Vinery spoke with a frown. She didn't know why this Anarchy Lord Nixin was initiating conversation with Athan.
The Eagle ignored Vinery and continued looking at Athan as it spoke, "how about you work under me? My plan is to take over a region called the Starseverer region, consisting of fourteen cities. This region is one of the five minor regions inside the Swallowbright continent in the Okulus Zone."
The Eagle's eyes gleamed as it spoke, laughing, "if you agree, then you can kill these people behind me. Hahaha, I will aid you as well."
"What?!"
"No! Lord, you can't do that to us."
"Please, Lord! You...how can you do that? We trust you, and we are also willing to work under you."
Some people tried to escape, but the barrier conjured by Anarchy Lord Nixin prevented them from going out.
'I conjured this barrier so that whatever I peak or do here won't get leaked, but I guess it became more useless,' the Eagle thought as it looked at all the people panicking and begging before sneering.
"I would rather take an Anarchy Lord under me than you all ants," the Eagle exploded with more power as it as its wings and body glowed. A crown materialized on its head, and the Anarchy symboled (winged-tiger symbols) around him increased to 9888.
"What do you think, Athan?" Anarchy Lord Nixin asked. The Eagle had now become 50 meters long with 100 meters of wingspans as well as oozing out even more power.
Everyone looked at Athan. Vinery and all other people were already showing despair because they were sure that Athan would take up on that offer.
"Are you dreaming?" Athan uttered as he shook his head while smiling ferociously, "you are indeed powerful. Giving me an original threat and a feeling of challenge that I've forgotten since a long time ago."
"Hahaha, this is exciting," Athan laughed as he looked at his hand and clenched his fist with excitement in his eyes.
"As for your offer," Athan spoke with a smile as he shook his head, "If you want work WITH me, then I am up for it. But...
"You can forget about making me work under you," Athan spoke as his smiling face turned cold. He also changed his normal body into the Zontheos Prime void frame, increasing the Anarchy symbols around him to 8390.
"Humph," the Eagle snorted before it flapped its giant wings and its third eyes gleamed. The Anarchy symbols around him increased to 11,999 before two giant slash projections shot towards Athan.
Those two crescent clashes had spiraling dark green and dark red energy around them, while the slashes themselves were of black-gold energy.
Athan hurridly executed Sanctuary of Void as a barrier appeared around him. He consumed two energy worth two Abyssal Blood Crystals on that.
*Swooooooooosh...Crack...*
*BOOOOOOOOM....*
The sanctuary of the void was broken, but it also consumed the slash's power a lot. However, it was not enough.
The void field around Athan was broken, but Athan didn't give up as he crossed his arm to block the slashes. Naturally, he created a crude defensive coat on his arms using the Abyssal Blood Crystal's energy.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Athan roared, but his arms only lasted for a before they were destroyed. The next second, his body was sliced into four pieces and exploded.
However, his body parts didn't separate, and in the next second, countless white threads pulled each other from his body parts as his body recovered in the next second.
"Fabulous," the Eagle spoke loudly before laughing, "what a recovery power. However, you are no Anarchy Lord. Your body is too weak compared to an Anarchy Lord. Your soul is at best at the level of Anemon-Mythos."
Hearing that, some powerhouses who had butterfly symbols around them were startled. They were at the 2nd phase of the Mythos plane. The first phase of the Mythos plane invokes worm symbols (Transcendent Mythos symbols), while the second phase of Mythos powerhouses invokes butterfly symbols (Anemon Mythos symbols).
"The only reason why you invoked Anarchy symbols is because of your unique power, and you also match that level of power since you can probably kill people below Anarchy plane. Interesting," the Eagle as a gleam passed in its eyes.
"I am giving you a 2nd chance. You are no match for me, so the wise decision would be to work for me. I will guide you and help you get stronger as well."
