Chapter 935 The New Chronicle

Step. Step. Step.

Wain paced with Elegan on the dense ice, heading toward the core of his Void. Each large enough Void had its own core on which almost everything related to energy depended. The more powerful the core, the better the resources grew in the Void's territory and the denser the energy in the space, which further created stronger monsters.

"Agh... Brings back a memory. This place looked very different last time." Wain muttered with excited looks looking at the core of his Void.

A massive dark crystal floated above the icy platform, black energy currents emanating from it, like invisible threads spreading throughout the area, gradually strengthening it.

"Yeah. That crystal was much smaller back then, though I think it will change completely now, right?" Elegan asked with a smirk as he folded his arms behind his back.

"Sure. Last time I promoted Void's Chronicle I was in the Fourth Chronicle and had no idea who I really was. Now that crystal will turn into the core of the Nameless King." Wain said confidently before ascending the platform.

Elegan silently stepped aside, standing next to the passageway. He stared at Crystal with a glowering look as he realized that these were new possibilities.

"Well, in that case, it's about time we started." Wain sighed, closed his eyes, and put his palm to the crystal.

He directed a small amount of energy into the crystal, gradually increasing the flow until the crystal began to tremble.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

Gray energy streams began to emerge from the crystal, which completely absorbed the black threads. The ice crystals in the cave grew paler as if something drained the life from them, but gradually everything returned to normal.

'Fine, now we can get down to something more serious.' Wain inwardly muttered while streams of darkness passed by him that already filled the entire space.

Whooooooooooooosh.

Wain opened his eyes as his aura intensified, then a tremendous amount of energy flowed through his palm, straight to the crystal. Wain used as much power as he could, practically repeating Nicole's tactics, for now, it was the most effective solution.

[The core of your zone is filled with energy!]

[Stop and let the core stabilize, then your Void will start moving into the next Chronicle!]

"Hmm? That's it already?" Wain muttered in disbelief as he glanced at the crystal that glowed brightly from the boundless energy that was contained within it, "Hey, it's not enough to make a truly great zone appear. I'm not going to stop there."

Wain smirked as powerful streams of energy erupted from his body. They all rained down on the crystal as if they wanted to destroy them, but really Wain was just very aggressively filling the core of the zone with energy.

'Damn... Isn't he going to overdo it? If something happens to the core, we'll all be in more trouble, won't we?' Elegan pondered with a worried expression looking at the crystal, which was shaking more and more with each passing second.

[You're using too much energy!]

[If you continue at this rate, your Void's core might not be able to withstand the strain and explode!]

[Stop channeling energy into the crystal immediately, or your zone could have a real catastrophe!]

Wain slackened his pace for a moment, he took that time to read the messages, then he returned to his previous level as if none of this mattered.

Elegan gulped, he had complete confidence in Wain's actions, but he still couldn't help worrying.

The core was the most important place in any Void, for it was the source of all the energy by which the Void existed at all, so it was disturbing for Elegan to see that the crystal was close to being destroyed.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

After Wain ignored a few more messages, cracks began to appear on the crystal as well as tiny particles began to fall off of it.

"Wain! Maybe you shouldn't create so much pressure...?" Elegan said with a frightened face as he waved his hands.

"Hah, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Perhaps for a living creature, over-powering can be fatal, but Void isn't exactly a living creature." Wain smirked as he watched his zone core gradually collapse.

"What...? What the hell are you talking about?" Elegan was confused.

"A living being had limits, its body that can only withstand a certain amount of energy, but with the Void it's different. If the space receives more energy than it can hold, then the zone just expands and rebuilds." Wain said with a devious smirk.

Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.

At the same moment, the entire zone trembled and a massive pillar of darkness launched from the ice island, rushing up to the sky. This caught the attention of all the monsters as they instantly realized what was about to happen.

"Well, well, he finally decided to do it." Reto muttered as a sly smile appeared on his face.

Some of the monsters were frightened by such a massive amount of energy, but most had excited expressions. The new Chronicle meant new opportunities, which meant they all finally had a chance to take the next step in their evolution.

[Your zone's core can't handle that much energy!]

[Your zone is trying to adapt to the new conditions!]

[Your zone needs a stronger core!]

[The current core will be destroyed!]

"Hah, just what you need. If my Void couldn't use such valuable energy, I'd be seriously disappointed." Wain smirked and jumped back.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

The crystal shattered into many shards, releasing all the energy inside it all along.

"Wow... I've never seen anything more frightening and majestic at the same time." Elegan muttered looking at the dense cloud of darkness that was actually maximum compressed energy.

"Yeah. It actually looks pretty good. I haven't seen this kind of energy in a long time, but this is just the beginning since our Void needs a new core, doesn't it?" Wain grinned as he crossed his arms over his chest.

The crystal fragments gradually filled up with new energy, growing in size and taking on a new shape suitable for a more powerful core.
