Karz

*"Honestly, I couldn't believe my eyes when I sensed the aura of the Void Emperor on you. Of course, it's oddly inverted, but the truth couldn't hide from me. What do you—"* (Sendor to Zachary Atwood, before being interrupted by The System, **Chapter 1037**)

**Karz** is someone that Zachary Atwood sees visions of when improving his bloodline.

## Appearance

Karz was definitely human, but looked somewhat of Mediterranean descent, with black wavy hair and an olive complexion. His irises were golden, and his features were truthfully a lot better than Zac's (**Chapter 737**).

## History

Karz was born into poverty on a planet in the Hur'Vaz Empire, near the waste dumping grounds of the Blue Spring Sect (**Chapter 639**). After he developed a cultivation method for refining his affinities by absorbing garbage, he was inducted into the Blue Spring Sect by one of its Elders (**Chapter 736**). During his time as an Outer Disciple in the Sect, he continued to cultivate with his unique cultivation technique, and took up a job cleaning the alchemy rooms of higher-ranking disciples in order to do so. (**Chapter 736**).

The Void Emperor joined the Sindris Clan on the council's orders. The union between the Void Emperor and Naeva Sindris was a political marriage meant to give him a sense of belonging by creating a lineage. Ultimately, it's more accurate to say the Void Emperor assimilated the Sindris Clan than the other way around. His immense power was enough to raise a personal faction within the family, one loyal to him rather than the Technocracy. **Ch 1,165**

### Fate

* Most likely, they became fuel for the System's awakening, like the rest of the Empire's upper echelon. After all, we can see that the Void Emperor's unique constitution has become an integral part of the System's growth algorithm. **Ch 1,164**
* The Void Emperor became the greatest sinner, and the Sindris Family got a share of the blame. **Ch 1,164**
* The Void Emperor stayed with the Sindris Family for five hundred thousand years before everything went wrong, even marrying one of the Sindris Patriarch's daughters. **Ch 1,164**

## Abilities

* Improving his affinities by absorbing energies for materials with that affinity
* Removing impurities by expelling them through a Node on his back (**Chapter 736**)
* A Cultivation technique that involved absorbing the energies from piles of alchemical waste (**Chapter 736**)
* Absorbing the energies of nearby stars as he flew through the void of space

## Who was Karz?

### Emperor Limitless?

* "It was the second time he had been shown Karz and his unique abilities, and the visions filled him with mixed emotions. He had already suspected it after the first vision, but now it almost felt certain. His mother's clan had somehow gotten their hands on the genes of the Limitless Emperor, and it was that supreme being's bloodline that coursed through his veins." **Chapter 737**

### Not Emperor Limitless?

* "Wait," Zac urgently said. "Can you tell me the real name of Emperor Limitless?" "His name?" Perala said with surprise. "He went by his Dao Name for most of his life, but his true name was Laondio Evrodok." **Chapter 929**
* "The revelation further indicated that his original theory was off; Karz wasn't the Limitless Emperor....Was the Limitless Empire perhaps run by two people, where one stood in the light while the other moved in the shadows? It seemed entirely possible when remembering Karz's temperament in his Bloodline Visions. Or was Karz a member of this 'Terminus Council'?" **Chapter 1037**

### Void Emperor

* During the height of the war (with the Selvari), a grievously wounded man appeared before the Technocracy Council. Despite his state, he emitted a terrifying aura that eclipsed even our forefathers. They had never seen anything like it. Except for one person. The Limitless Emperor. It seemed impossible, but the man actually stood before the council and introduced himself as such. **Ch 1,164**
	+ the Emperor said he came in peace. He claimed he wasn't the one who'd ruled over the Empire for the past eons. A man named Laondio Evrodok had usurped the throne and banished the original Emperor's identity from the rivers of time and fate. **Ch 1,164**
	+ The ancestors didn't believe such a fanciful story at face value, but some of his words were quickly proven. His identity was truly taboo, impossible to remember or store. To this day, we don't know his name. **Ch 1,164**
	+ the forefathers let the deposed Emperor stay with the Selvari. The Sindris Clan was chosen to guard him. Eventually, he gained the epithet 'Void Emperor,' being the Emperor of nothing. It was also impossible to give him an actual name since it, too, would be erased. **Ch 1,164**
	+ At a critical juncture, the Void Emperor betrayed them. It led to the demise of most forefathers, including the Matriarch of the Kayar-Elu. The System was born soon after; you should know the rest by now. Our only solace is that the founders didn't go down without a fight. The usurper was grievously wounded. Neither he nor the Void Emperor were seen after that cataclysmic battle over the Era's direction. **Ch 1,164**
