Chapter 1347: Seeking A New Method.
Supremacy Games
"He is right, this is not the time to worry about our territories." Prince Abaddon said with a solemn tone, "For Lucifer to get defeated, he must have become a deity and you know damn well, he can kill us with a mere glance."
With Lucifer being super active in this war and exposing his real strength, the six princes dropped any thoughts they had about the throne.
If they knew about it beforehand, they wouldn't have even considered it.
"I am ditching my kingdom and going into hiding." Prince Satan advised, "I suggest you do the same if you value your life."
While this decision had upset them immensely, they understood that it was the only way to save themselves.
...
On the other side of the universe, three more beings were hit the hardest by the news of Lucifer's death under Felix's hands...The Darkins!
"It finally happened...That annoying brat has reached our level." Saurous didn't know whether to be depressed or angry with how things turned out.
If someone came to him before he met Felix and he told him that in eight decades, this worthless human kid would become a deity, he would have laughed him out of the room.
But, here he was...Hiding in a corner of the universe with his partners because of the same kid, hoping for him to get killed by any means possible.
"I really thought that demon has it in the bag, but I have been disappointed too many times, I am starting to feel that unless we killed him with our two hands, it won't happen." Wendigo sighed.
"Then, let's start preparing ourselves." Manananggal said calmly, "Now, that he has reached a deity level, he is bound to target us of his own volition with his masters."
"It will be five against three." Saurous frowned, "But, he is still a mere newbie and he needs millions of years to reach our elemental range if not more."
"I am done underestimating that brat." Wendigo shook his head, "His elemental range might be trash compared to us, but he has multiple ultimate abilities in his arsenal, and that translates to billions of years of effort stacked on each other."
His partners agreed with his statement as much as they disliked the sound of it. There were plenty of things that separated a primogenitor from any deity.
Besides the reaction speed and spiritual pressure, it was the immense time they took to master their elements...Ultimate abilities were considered the pinnacle of their effort, struggle, and hard work.
Felix possessed five ultimate abilities if the void domain was considered.
This implied that only elemental range, battle experience, and immortality were the difference between him and a primogenitor.
Five ultimate abilities were potent enough to make those differences obsolete if they underestimated him and ended up getting hit by them.
"What's worse, he has the concept destruction ability, which helps him avoid any damages caused by our elements if he marked them." Wendigo frowned, "This means the only way to kill him is to assassinate him from a long distance, giving him no time to react."
"That's why I said we need to prepare." Manananggal stated, "We have to make our assassination plan tight-proof, unlike the last time."
Outnumbered or not, the darkins had no intentions of hiding in the corner like rats if Felix dared to step foot in the seven demon realms.
One could only wonder what would their reaction be if they found out that Jörmungandr and Thor weren't even in the picture.
Five Days Later...
The blood-red sun began to rise as Felix approached the ominous perimeters of Prince Satan's demonic city.
A city that had once throbbed with the energy of malevolent power and diabolical life now lay vacant and eerily silent.
"As expected, the announcements have scared them off." Felix uttered nonchalantly as he Ventured through the ghostly streets.
Using his evil vision, he could see that not a single demon was left in the city, which meant either Prince Satan had taken them with him or sent them away.
"Well, they can hide for as long as they want. But, they can't continue demonizing more of our people without exposing themselves." Candace sneered.
"The others must have abandoned their kingdoms as well." Felix ordered, "Let's get out of here."
Although the planet was packed with demons, Felix had no intentions of killing them...It was best to leave them be until Olivia help them reverse the demonization process.
'Queen, call Olivia.'
'Olivia is unavailable at the moment.' Queen Ai replied, making Felix understand that she must be busy with another demon batch.
So, he called Noah and asked for updates.
"The demonization reversal process is going smoothly." Noah shared expressionlessly.
"How much percentage do you reckon you have done?"
"Based on the latest Intel, we must have reversed the process for at least 3% across the galaxy."
"That's it?" Felix frowned, "It's way too slow."
"It can't be helped, Olivia is all alone in this and we can do nothing but increase the number of demons." Noah responded.
"I know, but it's still too slow. I have to figure out an alternative if we want to reverse the process for most people before they lose their rationality." Felix said with a serious tone.
Felix knew that it would take Olivia centuries if not more to reverse the process for the majority of the demons in the universe.
By then, most demons would have become animalistic and even if the process was reversed, they would become vegetables.
Felix had no intentions of having hundreds of billions of demonized citizens turn into vegetables on his watch.
After he hung up on Noah, Felix sat down with his thoughts and began brainstorming a new plan to accelerate the reversal process.
With Olivia already coming up with a method, he didn't stride away from it.
"Olivia is using Lady Yggdrasil's ultimate ability and a perfect balance of sucking evil energy and pushing pure energy to reverse the demonization." Felix pondered, "While she needs to supervise each demonization process, the same doesn't apply to Lady Yggdrasil."
"Are you thinking of requesting Lady Yggdrasil to help out?" Asna asked.
"I don't see another way." Felix nodded, "Unlike Olivia, Lady Yggdrasil could create hundreds to even thousands of seeds of life and control them from a distance through a consciousness link. This means it's possible to accelerate the process by hundreds of times if she hands out the seeds of life to us and we plant them on the most affected planets."
"Olivia already did the dirty irritating work of finding the perfect balance, if she shared it with Lady Yggdrasil, she wouldn't really be putting much effort into the demonization reversal."
"It's feasible, but will Lady Yggdrasil help out?" Asna shook her head, "She might be kinder than most primogenitors, but she wasn't known for being charitable either."
Ever since the war started, the primogenitors merely sat in the shadows and spectated the whole thing without lifting a finger.
Even when some races were on the verge of extinction, they still kept to themselves.
It was expected...The primogenitors take the pact of staying out of mortal matters quite seriously.
Since even Fenrir wasn't capable of handling Lucifer, none of them felt the need to get themselves involved in this...At least, not until the universe itself gets endangered.
Lady Yggdrasil had also kept to herself and didn't bother helping out the demonized elves on the eighth and ninth elvish realms since they were situated the furthest from her body.
The remaining realms were protected by her immense life force that transform into pure energy the moment it sensed evil energy in the vicinity, but the remaining two weren't so lucky.
Selphie was situated in that ninth realm for the past six decades and tried her best to lead the resistance to save everyone.
The eighth realm didn't have it as bad as the ninth realm since the latter was packed with half-blood/Mixed breed elves and other races, making them not prioritized by the elvish armies.
If Lady Yggdrasil even ignored the woes of citizens in her own body, one could only imagine her response when Felix request thousands of constant seeds of life.
"The only way to move a primogenitor is through a favor or a trade." Felix smirked faintly, "I just need to make an offer that she finds irresistible, and I think I know what it is."
Chapter 1348: The Deal With Lady Yggdrasil.
Supremacy Games
Sometime later...
Felix was back in Lady Yggdrasil's personal garden inside the UVR.
It was a serene oasis, shimmering under a celestial light, a living testament to her divine connection with nature. Enigmatic, ancient trees towered above, their branches whispering age-old secrets.
Vibrant, mystic flowers bloomed in abundance, their enchanting scents permeating the air with a celestial sweetness.
At the garden's heart stood the grand Yggdrasil tree, the lifeblood of her domain, its mighty branches reaching out as if to embrace the cosmos.
Each element of the garden seemed infused with Lady Yggdrasil's energy, creating a sacred sanctuary that was as timeless as she.
Felix walked with Selphie at his side toward the center tree. She was the one setting up the meeting with her mother and she wanted to accompany him.
Felix found no reason to reject her since she could help him sway Lady Yggdrasil's decision in their favor.
When they arrived, they noticed that Lady Yggdrasil was sitting under the tree with a cup of tea in one hand and a book in the other.
The same picture that was stuck in Felix's mind after his last meeting with her.
"Elder, I am here to ask for a favor." Felix went straight to the subject as he requested with his head lowered respectfully.
"Favor? I hope you don't think that you can ask for free favors from primogenitors now that you have become a deity." Lady Yggdrasil chuckled softly.
"I wouldn't dare." Felix shook his head.
He understood that asking for favors from primogenitors was a serious matter and all of them avoid having to resort to it at all costs since returning those favors was a must.
In other words, if Felix asked for a favor, then he should expect that Lady Yggdrasil would ask him for one later on and regardless of its content, he had to try his best to make it happen.
No one would want to have such a sword hanging down their necks.
"Speak up, then." Lady Yggdrasil smiled, "If it's a small one, I can do it free of charge for taking care of my daughter in the Elementals Galaxy."
"First, she took care of me and I would forever be indebted to her." Felix smiled as he gazed at Selphie's shy demeanor. Then, he added with a serious tone, "Secondly, it's not a small one. I am hoping that you can lend us your help to accelerate the demonization process and save as many citizens as possible."
"I see...That's indeed not a small favor." Lady Yggdrasil closed her book gently and said, "You know that you are asking me to break the pact and interfere in matters unrelated to primogenitors."
"But mom..." Selphie wanted to help.
"I am not finished." Lady Yggdrasil raised her finger and continued on calmly, "You are the ones who decided to invade the demons' territories for the sake of riches and territories. If you were just content with your situation, none of this would have happened."
Neither Felix nor Selphie was able to retort.
While Selphie had nothing to do with the decision, Felix was the one announcing that his first order as the Grand Supreme was to conquer the other side.
No one pushed him to do it.
Now that the situation had developed to this state, it wasn't honest of him to come seeking help from primogenitors to fix his own mess.
"If that deity demon was still running rampant and threatening our stability, we would have stopped him without any of you finding out." Lady Yggdrasil said, "You have taken care of him, and applaud you for that. However, the aftermath of the war isn't really our problem to solve."
In other words, all the demonized citizens could go to flames and none of them would bat an eye.
As primogenitors who lived through multiple eras, tens of billions of deaths were nothing to them as they knew that more would be born in the future.
This massacre would serve as a lesson to the alliance to never antagonize a race without proper research.
"I am not trying to avoid responsibility and I know that I have played a big part in how the situation developed," Felix responded with a bitter smile. "But, I refuse to leave it to end like this when I know that there is something to be done."
"So, if a favor won't do, then how about a deal?"
"A deal?" Lady Yggdrasil was intrigued. "Is it coming from you or your masters?"
"Me and me alone."
Felix replied, understanding that she implied his inability to offer anything that could be considered worth having her break the pact and get her hands dirty.
"My interest is piqued." Lady Yggdrasil smiled.
'You really have something to offer?'
Even Selphie was curious.
'I do.' Felix looked straight into Lady Yggdrasil's eyes and proposed, "I am willing to help you with analyzing the runic codex until its completion."
"..."
"..."
Both Lady Yggdrasil and Selphie shared a similar startled expression at his bold statement. Felix had expected such a reaction as he knew that his offer was more than questionable.
After all, even after billions of years, Lady Yggdrasil had yet to finish analyzing the entire book.
In fact, it was believed that she barely analyzed half of it and the remaining half was still filled with millions of all possible spells using all known elements!
Some were even confident that omnipotent spells weren't the end of the rope and that there were even more complex spells that could rival primogenitors' ultimate abilities!
Such a theory had some legit basis as it was known that runic spells were similar to elemental abilities in all departments but the medium used to achieve them.
This implied similar ultimate abilities could be extrapolated from the runic codex or even unknown ones if a worthy person was capable of doing it.
But, when even Lady Yggdrasil had failed to create new spells above omnipotent grade, no one thought there could be another one capable of doing it.
Even Selphie with her monstrous talent would end up facing a massive wall if she dared to create the impossible.
"I understand that saying this makes me seem way out of my head." Felix shared with a serious tone, "But, I am confident in my ability to help."
"I will entertain you." Lady Yggdrasil chuckled and asked, "How will you help?"
"With those two."
Felix pointed at his eyes as he activated his wisdom eyes and turned them completely black.
"Wisdom eyes." Lady Yggdrasil commentated.
"Yes." Felix spoke with a confident tone, "Lord Shiva has helped me master them and I have utilized their best capabilities in my space/time spells. In a short period, I have mastered four lesser time spells, and the only reason I didn't commit to all of them is due to having other strengths that needed focus."
"Also, because I knew that there are barely less than fifteen-time spells and there is no rush to master them all."
"How is this any different than what my daughter is doing?" Lady Yggdrasil shook her head, "Wisdom eyes are amazing alright, but they did nothing but bridge the gap between you and Selphie. If your comprehension was already on Selphie's level, then having those wisdom eyes will be the same as giving wings to a tiger. Then, I would have actually considered the proposal and helped you with this eternal goal of mine...Alas."
Lady Yggdrasil wasn't trying to put Felix down and he knew it. Wisdom's eyes were an amplifying tool.
In Felix's case, his comprehension of the runes was absolutely dog sh*t in the first place.
With their assistance, he managed to get around the complexity of lesser time spells by simplifying them for him.
However, if he tried to use them for greater or even omnipotent time spells, even the simplified version would be too complex for him and it would take him a long while to master them.
On the other hand, if Selphie possessed wisdom eyes, omnipotent spells would seem like lesser spells!!
A genius being given a supercomputer at his disposal wouldn't provide the same results as being in the hands of someone else.
Felix had no problems admitting to this and his original plan was leading to this point.
"Then, how about this." Felix smiled, "I will offer Selphie my help to obtain the wisdom eyes and she can focus on analyzing the runic codex."
"Huh?" Selphie was shocked.
"Now, it's getting interesting." Lady Yggdrasil narrowed her eyes at him, "How are you planning to do that?"
"I can't help her possess the real thing, but I can make sure to bend reality to make it seem like she possesses it with the help of Ilusion Domain." Felix smirked faintly.
Chapter 1349: The End Of The Demonic Invasion!
Supremacy Games
The moment Lady Yggdrasil heard this, she couldn't help but show a content smile.
"I am familiar with the illusion domain's true potency and if you really unlocked the ability, then I can see this deal going through."
"I have yet to unlock it, but I am 100% certain I will do so when I reach 99% in my integration." Felix assured.
Although Felix knew that Lord Loki might possess an ultimate ability plus an elemental domain, he was certain that the domain would be picked.
It was because the last unlocked ability always targeted the most remarkable ability of the bloodline owner, and ultimate abilities had nothing against elemental domains in this department.
Lady Yggdrasil took a few moments to look at Selphie and asked, "Are you willing to take this mission? Creating new spells from the runic codex is already immensely difficult, attempting to analyze it to completion is no easy task and it might take you a lifetime and still not achieve it."
Lady Yggdrasil wanted Selphie to learn and master time spells and become the greatest spellcaster of all time, but she never thought of placing her dream and goal on her shoulder.
"As long as you help me Mother, I believe we can do it together." Selphie smiled, her eyes glowing with a new purpose.
"I will be there every step of the way." Lady Yggdrasil smiled back.
"Then, I guess we have a deal?" Felix inquired.
Lady Yggdrasil nodded before asking, "I believe you want to plant multiple seeds of life across the corrupted planets and make me reverse the demonization, correct?"
It wasn't hard for Lady Yggdrasil to figure out Felix's plan the moment he shared his request.
"Exactly." Felix didn't beat around the bush, "There are more than seven hundred billion demonized citizens across the entire alliance's territory. This is the known number and it might even have crossed one trillion if we counted the isolated civilizations. I hope you can share with us as many seeds of life as you can manage and help us fight through this."
"Hmmm, alright then." Lady Yggdrasil agreed without any more questions.
"Much appreciated." Felix bowed deeply in gratitude.
Although he had traded his time for this, in reality, he would have helped Selphie in analyzing the runic codex anyways since it was beneficial to him as well.
After all, the more time spells she created, the more he would add to his arsenal...He had no time to invest in analyzing the runic codex when he had many other problems to cover.
So, he wasn't really losing anything from this deal.
...
After the deal was concluded, Felix shared the news with the inner circle leaders and worked with them to create a new powerful division responsible for the delivery of the seeds of life and overseeing the process.
Obviously, Felix had gotten credit for this from the leaders as everyone was more than pleased to learn that he had convinced a primogenitor to involve themselves in their mess.
But Felix didn't give a sh*t about such a needless ego boost and made everyone work the extra mile to conclude the creation of this division and start with the universal wide demonization reversal.
With him putting his foot on this, no one tried to play politics and attempt to steal as many seeds of life as possible to prioritize their own territories.
Felix made it clear that the oldest invaded planets would be prioritized since the citizens there were on the verge of sucking their planets dry from purities and being left with no rationality intact.
With all preparation set and Lady Yggdrasil delivering her promise and handing out hundreds of seeds of life to the responsible division, the project was fully commenced in less than a week.
In the throbbing heart of the vast, star-speckled cosmos, the SGAlliance's fleets surged forward like a surge of silvery fish cutting through the ocean's abyss.
Each ship was a glistening titan, its streamlined hull gleaming in the harsh, white starlight, wings outspread in a show of might and solidarity.
Each world they approached was a harrowing sight to behold. Once vibrant and teeming with life, the planets now writhed under an eerie, baleful aura.
Their surfaces were twisted and distorted, marred by the unnatural horrors that had turned their own citizens into creatures of unimaginable torment.
The faces of once-kind neighbors, friends, and family were now marred with demonic snarls, twisted by the raw agony of their transformation.
But now there was a beacon of hope.
Once the seeds were planted in said planets, under Lady Yggdrasil's remote control, the seeds began to sprout, erupting from the ground like shimmering pillars of verdant green.
Slowly but surely, the mighty World Trees rose, spreading their enormous canopies across the corrupted landscapes.
The sight of their growth was nothing short of a miracle, a testament to life's enduring perseverance against the most horrifying of odds.
From each tree, waves of pure, revitalizing energy pulsed, penetrating the bodies of the demonic citizens.
The energy did not harm them; rather, it gently and surely started the process of reversal, the trees working in tandem with Lady Yggdrasil to untwist the demonization that had corrupted these beings.
"As expected, Lady Yggdrasil is so much better at this than Olivia." Felix commentated as he watched the process of hundreds of world trees in his cockpit.
Olivia deserved a great amount of credit for figuring out the balance, but when it was given to Lady Yggdrasil, she didn't even need to put the demons into cocoons.
To make matters even better, Lady Yggdrasil allowed her trees to grow into an unfathomable size until half it was floating in the exosphere.
With roots spreading across the planet's underground world, she sucked the evil energy of it and released it into space while feeding them with much-needed life force to revitalize them.
So, she wasn't just reversing the demonization of the citizens, but also returning their homes to them as a bonus, something that even Olivia found hard to achieve!
When the news of this had gotten out, it was impossible to keep Lady Yggdrasil's identity hidden any longer as this was obliviously a work of a god.
In this universe, there was only one known goddess and it was the Goddess of Nature!
This time, not just the elves who prayed for her, but even other races across the entire universe.
The inner circle leaders' knew that the primogenitors wanted to keep their existence hidden, so no one came forward and confirmed that this was the doing of Lady Yggdrasil, but at the same time, they didn't deny it.
There was simply no other explanation, and the public wasn't stupid to not see through such an obvious lie.
And so, under Lady Yggdrasil's careful supervision and the public's morals on the rise, the SGAlliance's fleets continued their noble mission across their territory, planet by planet, turning the tide against the demonic plague.
As they traveled, the once-tormented worlds behind them slowly returned to their natural state, their surfaces flourishing with verdant life and their citizens restored, standing as living testimonies to the resilience of life and the indefatigable spirit of the SGAlliance!
In less than a year, the entire SGAlliance's territories were cleared out of more than 90% of demons and the numbers were still on the rise.
The smart demons like the princes had already picked whatever spaceship before them and took off towards the other side of the universe, returning to their original homes.
They knew that as long as they remained in the SGAlliance's territory, it would get worse and worse for them.
After all, they had no protection from the princes and their demon king was gone for good.
The fact that they need purities to survive made them incapable of staying in outer space for too long, which would result in them getting hunted down the moment a piece of information gets released about them.
With this max exodus of the demon race back to their territories, the SGAlliance did nothing to stop them and kept on prioritizing their own citizens first.
This was under Felix's orders as he understood that those demons might run but they had nowhere to hide.
When he was done with healing his home, he would pay them a visit again.
This time, he would go there personally and make sure that not a single demon would exist in this universe ever again!
...
"Besides a couple of demons on the run and causing trouble and some planets being too ruined to be fixed, it's safe to say that the alliance is on track to be back to normal again." Asna wondered with a lazy tone as she had her head placed on Felix's lap. "What's your next move now? Are you going after the darkins right away?"
"Not yet." Felix shook his head, "They must have heard about me and they are planning to either ambush or assault me the instant I enter the other side. I have to be fully prepared to take at least one of them down in our first contact since if I exposed all of my cards and failed in doing so, it will get much harder to slay them later on."
"I see...So, who are you planning to target of them?"
"You know the answer." Felix narrowed his eyes coldly as he envisioned The Blood Primogenitor, Manananggal blowing his home and killing everyone in it...
His hatred of Saurous and Wendigo was at its limit, but his heart had a different place for the one who pulled the trigger.
Whether Manananggal possessed true immortality or not, Felix was going to show him that his greatest gift would be his downfall before him!
"It's finally time to hunt down those f*ckers and get our revenge." Asna grinned sadistically.
"It sure is...It sure is." Felix smirked coldly as he caressed her cheek in a gentle manner, completely opposite to his murderous aura.
Chapter 1350: Unwelcomed Visitor.
Supremacy Games
A few months later...
Felix could be seen sitting on a small puddle of sweat in a meditation position with Nimo fooling around beside him.
"99% at last." He exhaled deeply as he opened his closed eyes and stared at the faraway ceiling of his spaceship.
"Now, you have finally reached the end of your bloodline path." Asna commentated.
"I don't know if I am going to miss this or not, but I am somewhat relieved it ended after everything that happened in this wild journey." Felix showed a tiny smile.
For everyone else, their bloodline path ended in a couple of years at best due to not having many benefits of waiting things out.
Felix took more than six thousand years to finally hit the limit in his bloodline path, and everyone else must already assume that he had become an origin bloodliner.
"You can reminisce later, there is someone wanting to meet you." Thor shared with an irritated voice.
"On my way." Felix narrowed his eyes coldly as he entered the consciousness space, knowing that Lord Loki's wisp had been awakened.
...
"It's a pleasure to finally meet my superstar."
Lord Loki appeared with a new appearance of a male elderly human with a gray beard and receding hairline, resembling any average geezer.
He stretched his arms widely as he had a big grin on his face. He walked towards Felix, seemingly attempting to give him a hug.
Alas, Felix's masters got in front of him and gave him a cold stare. "You are not welcome here."
Although Felix was using his bloodline, neither he nor his masters had any interest in entertaining Lord Loki's shenanigans.
His masters knew that he was untrustworthy and would do anything for the sake of his entertainment.
The proof was handing Felix's blood to his enemies just to watch them collide.
"Come on, I thought we buried the hatchet with our deal." Lord Loki acted upset.
"Whether we buried it or not, that's not for you to decide. Now, please leave while we are still asking nicely." Thor said indifferently.
Lord Loki ignored Thor and looked at the other tenants with a pitiful look, seemingly asking for their help.
Alas, the closest one to him was Lord Shiva and he didn't even bother to glance in his direction or admit his existence...He merely kept sunbathing peacefully.
"Fine, I will pay the fees to be admitted to the party." Lord Loki dropped his sulky attitude and offered, "If you let me stay, I will help you get better with illusion manipulation."
Felix raised an eyebrow in delight for a moment before returning to his stoic expression.
'What do you think, masters? Can he be trusted?' He discussed it with his masters.
'Trusted? He can't be trusted to watch a rock.' Thor sneered, 'But, his offer does seem too good to pass on.'
'I suggest we agree to his condition.' Jörmungandr nodded, 'With the UVR being involved if he wants to cause Felix trouble, he can easily do it anytime he wanted whether he is around us or not. At least now, we can watch over him.'
'That's true.' Thor agreed.
The most important thing was having Lord Loki as Felix's teacher would help him along the way in his illusion mastery.
If Felix didn't receive help from the previous owners of the manipulations, he wouldn't have mastered a single advanced ability even in millions of years!
It was expected since it would be the same as creating the advanced ability from scratch instead of being led along the way by the creator.
'We can get more than this.' Lady Sphinx said, 'Let me handle this.'
After hearing this, they remained silent and let Mama Sphinx take care of Lord Loki.
"Teaching him abilities is a good offer, but it's not enough to join the club."
Before Lord Loki could voice his displeasure, Lady Sphinx added, "If you want to truly be part of our faction, then you have to help us with the Darkins. This means giving us their locations constantly and their plans through spying on them in the UVR."
Felix and the tenants didn't expect Lady Sphinx to be this brutal and ask for Lord Loki to be their spy for the sake of hanging out with them.
He clearly was interested in playing cards, chess, and just enjoying his time in the company of his peers.
To make him go against the council's pact by spying on actual primogenitors was too much of a risk and they thought that he would reject it immediately.
Alas...This was Lord Loki.
"Consider it done!" Lord Loki sold out the Darkins with a wide sleazy smile faster than the tenants could take a breather.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Felix and the others didn't know whether to feel appreciative of his honesty or more worried about how easy it was for him to break such a sacred pact and give up on his peers, not giving a sh*t about his neutrality.
"I don't know why I expected for you to have a bit of honor in your word." Lady Sphinx sighed exasperatedly.
"My word goes to the highest bidder and at this moment, I feel like I get more value out of being part of your faction." Lord Loki replied casually.
Value in this context was nothing more than entertainment, which implied that as long as Felix and his people eased his boredom, he would always stand by their side.
If not, he had no problems with throwing his toys and picking new ones.
That's how Lord Loki operate and even though the primogenitors already knew about this, it never ceased to amaze them to see him staying true to his nature in the real world.
Especially, when he was considered as one of the five elemental lords with the highest level of authority in the universe below only the unigins.
'If he can throw away the darkins with a snap of a finger like that after helping them, then he will most definitely do the same to us in the future.' Asna said with a tone of discomfort.
'It's alright, at least we know that it's coming.' Felix smirked, 'I am more comfortable with this than having no clue where and when the hit would come.'
In Felix's eyes, it was only betrayal if he had no clue about it...If someone was going to betray him and he knew about it, yet, he did nothing to protect himself, it was on him.
"How about you consummate your entry with some good Intel?" Lady Sphinx requested.
"Sure thing." Lord Loki chuckled, his eyes displaying not an ounce of remorse. "The darkins have planned to assassinate your boy from a distance the moment he steps foot in their side of the universe."
"I guess we were right." Felix narrowed his eyes coldly.
He already anticipated as much, but now that it was confirmed, he understood that he needed to prepare as much as possible for the upcoming fight.
"Give us more details." Thor asked.
"I don't know more details at the moment." Lord Loki shrugged his shoulders, "You know I can't invade their minds without them finding out and most of their important discussion is held telepathically."
While the darkins had no clue that Lord Loki had joined Felix's side since he didn't expose any relation he had with him in public, this didn't mean that they would be foolish enough to put everything under his eyes.
All primogenitors knew that Lord Loki was too much of a weasel to not spy on them to ease his boredom and they didn't have much issue with this as long as he kept the information to himself.
"I see, well still, keep your eyes on them in case they shared something critical." Thor requested.
"Will do, will do, so now, what were you guys playing?"
A bit eager, Lord Loki asked as he rubbed his hands akin to a scammy merchant while staring at the circular table and the cards on it.
"Poker, interested?" Thor grinned from ear to ear.
Chapter 1351: The Dangers of Illusion Domain.
Supremacy Games
Seeing how stoked Lord Loki was about playing poker with his peers, Felix didn't bother him with his newly unlocked ultimate ability, Illusion Domain.
He exited the consciousness space and went to the training hall in his spaceship, which was as massive as twenty European football stadiums combined.
He used it before as a camping area for the refugees after the rooms were filled to the brim, but after the demons' defeat and the battles becoming fewer and fewer, he sent those refugees back to their homes.
"Let's see, the illusion domain is capable of bringing into light whatever I desire with more than 99.999999% realism." Felix rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
He wasn't really thoughtful about the realism part as he already knew that the UVR couldn't possibly possess 100% realism since it would make it no different than reality.
Though, everyone else thought the opposite since Queen Ai herself kept saying it possessed 100% realism for anyone binding their consciousness with her.
Since no one really cared about this, they went along with it and the UVR was known to have 100% realism.
With the addition of information about the UVR's reality, Felix understood that the remaining 0.000001% was what separated illusion from reality.
"Will my illusion immunity interfere if I tried to use the domain to cheat my way through my training?" Felix questioned himself.
"Well, your illusion immunity allows you to differentiate between illusion and reality instead of canceling any illusion before you, so it might work?" Asna shared her opinion.
"Let's hope so."
Just as Felix wanted to cast an illusion domain with a time difference of a hundred to one like in the Elementals Galaxy, he was stopped by Lord Loki.
'Don't bother wasting your time, it won't work.' He expressed while most of his focus was on the poker table in front of him.
"Why so?" Felix knitted his eyebrows.
"Illusion Domain is as close to reality as it is, but anyone capable of seeing through its illusion won't be affected by anything happening...Ahaa! I got a full house!" Lord Loki cut his explanation midpoint as he exposed his cards and showed the tenants two queens.
"That's a good hand, but don't get too excited." Thor smirked as he exposed his cards, causing Lord Loki's smile to evaporate from his face.
"Royal flush...How?!" Lord Loki's eyelids twitched as he watched all of his chips getting taken by Thor after losing an all-in bet.
"First rule here, is never go all in right from the start as there is always another one with better cards than you." Thor chuckled, enjoying the spoils of the war.
While Thor didn't explicitly say it, he made it clear that cheating was allowed as long as you could get away with it in front of their piercing eyes.
"Now, get lost and help him with your ability."
With no chips at hand and the table was still filled with players, Lord Loki was kicked out of the table.
"Cheating pricks, this isn't over." Lord Loki cursed under his breath, but the thoughts in his mind were completely different, 'It won't be fun to destroy them from the start.'
For now, he placed his focus on Felix and continued on from where he left off.
"As I was saying, seeing through the illusion makes it obsolete, whether it was a normal ability or even an elemental domain." Lord Loki clarified, "Fortunately in our case, there are only three people in the whole universe capable of seeing through my domain, without mentioning the unigins."
"Me, you, and my master." Felix stated.
Lord Loki nodded. "While you can see and interact with the illusion domain just like with the UVR, your body can't be affected by something as significant as changing time difference or such."
"I see..."
Felix understood that illusion immunity was his greatest asset against illusion but at the same time his limitation.
While even primogenitors could sleep for tens of billions of years until their mental health was mostly healed from exhaustion in the illusion world, the same couldn't apply to him.
Felix had honestly expected something like this to happen, but he really didn't want to accept it.
Alas, now that it was confirmed, he could only roll with it.
"How about creating an illusionary wisdom eye and bestowing it upon someone else in the illusion domain?" Felix wanted a confirmation of his previous idea.
"It was doable if you managed to create an exact copy of the mutation, which means you need everything related to the eyes."
"You mean like DNA, structure, and such?"
"Yes." Lord Loki warned as he knew what he planned on doing, "Ilusion Domain is a double-edged sword when used on those without immunity. If you just used your imagination to create something and used it on someone else, his mind will perceive it as reality and will interact with it as such. This means you have to create the right conditions for everything to flow as smoothly as in the real world. Otherwise, you will be doing nothing but harming your people."
"That sounds complex." Felix frowned.
"It's supposed to be, illusion domain isn't just a mental fantasy world. If you want that, you can easily create one using another ability." Lord Loki stressed, "There are real stakes in using it and you better be careful."
"Will do, thanks for the heads-up." Felix nodded in appreciation.
This was the reason there was never a significant problem with the UVR even though it was a legit illusion domain and everyone inside of it was prone to drop dead with a mere snap of a finger from Lord Loki.
He had created a universe with similar laws to reality and made Queen Ai supervise it. For example, a person could die in most of UVR's cities and he would be revived again.
The person believed that he would be revived 100% since that was how it was supposed to work and no one could change the rules on a whim.
But in reality? If he died in the illusion domain and his mind believed itself to have died for real, then that would be his fate even if Queen Ai hadn't touched his consciousness!
After all, everyone assumed that they were inside a harmless virtual world and unless Queen Ai killed them, nothing bad could happen to them.
"Looks like I have to spend my time studying my wisdom eyes in all departments to make the perfect copy."
Felix wanted before to just bring Selphie inside the domain and fool her into believing that she possessed the wisdom eyes, but now, he postponed calling her until he ironed down the details.
"Elder, I still have one more question." Felix said with a serious tone.
"What?"
Felix took a second before voicing it. "Now that I possess the illusion domain, is it possible for me to bend the UVR to my desire?"
This question was in Felix's mind ever since he integrated with Lord Loki's bloodline.
It was a serious matter since it implied that he would possess similar control and authority as Lord Loki in the UVR!
"You can, but I advise you to use your own illusion domain in your matters." Lord Loki smiled, "I might have given you permission to use my bloodline and possess my elemental domain, but I never permitted you to mess with my world."
"I understand and I respect that." Felix promised with a solemn tone. "I won't do anything to the UVR."
Felix had no idea why Lord Loki was uptight about this, but he planned on respecting his boundaries.
While Lord Loki seemed like a pushover compared to other stern elemental lords, Felix wasn't foolish to push his buttons and make him switch his character.
'I hope he won't be an obstacle in my plan after getting my domain. It will really upset me to get rid of him after all the entertaining content I have gotten from him.'
While Lord Loki still had the same easy-going smile, his thoughts, on the other hand, were nothing but that...
Chapter 1352: The Miraculous Benefits of Illusion Domain!
Supremacy Games
Oblivious to this, Felix stood at the heart of the empty training hall with eyes closed shut as though he was lost in a world entirely his own.
His hands moved in intricate, deliberate gestures, in sync with the rhythm of the wind.
Suddenly, the ground began to shimmer like a pool of water touched by a gentle breeze. A tremor swept across the barren earth as an unseen force began to reshape it.
Felix opened his eyes, and they shone with an otherworldly luminescence, his pupils reflecting a realm of endless possibilities.
His hands swept out, as though pushing against the very fabric of reality, and ripples of iridescent light spread out from him, rapidly enveloping the empty landscape!
This was his domain, the Illusion Domain, where the fabric of reality bent to his will and the laws of the physical world were but mere suggestions!
The desolation gave way to verdant greens as lush forests erupted from the barren ground, trees reaching for the azure sky with leafy arms.
Flowers bloomed, splattering the earth with their vibrant colors, and a river formed, snaking through the emerald wilderness.
Its water was crystal clear, sparkling under the sun, and babbling with a music so soft and sweet it could soothe the weariest of souls.
Then came the creatures, manifestations of Felix's will yet imbued with a life of their own. Majestic deer roamed the forests, birds sang harmonious melodies from the treetops, and fish danced in the river's gentle currents.
This was not merely a paradise, it was a living, breathing ecosystem, every creature and plant contributing to the harmonious balance.
Felix then raised his hands high, and small orbs of light broke off, sprinkling down like golden raindrops.
Where they touched, the essence of life began to spread. Fruit trees bore fruit, bushes sprouted berries, and the scent of fertile earth filled the air.
Felix, at the center of this paradise, watched everything unfold with a satisfied smile. He had created a haven, a paradise in the training hall, crafted not from bricks and mortar, but from his will, his element, and the deepest corners of his imagination.
"If the refugees still remained here, they would have been left absolutely awed." Asna mused, her eyes reflecting the paradise before her.
"As expected of an elemental domain...This feels like the work of a god." Candace commentated with a tone filled with reverence as she walked in the flower fields.
She plucked the ones she liked and brought them near her nose, enjoying their breathtaking fragrance.
Even a void succubus, known for having the best mental defense in the void nation, couldn't separate the illusion from the real.
This made her interact with the environment like it was the real deal, which meant she could bathe in rivers, climb mountains, and even farm vegetables and cook them on a bonfire to eat them.
This might be born from an illusion but its effect were as real as they could be!
Eee Eeee!
Even Nimo was seen rolling around in the grass and climbing trees to hunt down birds in excitement.
Unigins were completely immune to illusions just like Asna, but Nimo wasn't able to see through it since he wasn't the awakened version.
"Is it possible to be affected by something we eat or drink?" Felix wondered to himself as he picked an apple and took a massive bite of it.
As he was chewing it, he could feel the juices and sweetness filling up his mouth, identical to the feeling he envisioned would happen if he ate a perfectly ripe apple.
"Are you talking about whether it settles your hunger and provides nutrition to your body in real life?" Asna questioned.
"Something like that." Felix nodded.
Lord Loki took it upon himself to settle his question. "Just like I explained with wisdom eyes, if it's related to you, the significant effects can't be accepted as reality. The aftermath of eating something is in this bracket. You can eat as much as you want and please your palates, but your body won't benefit from it in any shape or form."
"But, it's different for others?" Felix raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Does that means I can create an illusionary natural treasure and feed it on another person and the supposed effects will be triggered in the real world?!"
"I will answer with this." Lord Loki smiled, "If the conditions are perfectly aligned with reality, then it becomes a reality."
"This..."
Even other tenants were taken aback by this explanation as the implications were just too shocking!
They already knew about the potency of the illusion domain, but none of them expected that it could reach this far!
For example, the wisdom eyes were supposed to alter only the eyes and the analytic power of the brain, which were two abstract effects.
But, to create an illusionary natural treasure, eat it, and actually obtain the same benefits from it as the real deal? That was nothing short but a miracle and one could say, alternating the laws of reality!
"Doesn't this means that the illusion domain is no different than the creation domain as long as the ones in it were affected by the illusions 100%?!" Candace sucked a deep cold breath in shock.
"Elemental Domains aren't considered the greatest abilities a primogenitor could create for no reason." Lord Loki stated causally, "We are touching upon laws and as you all know, laws are the construct of this universe, touching upon them, implies touching upon reality."
In other words, illusion laws were on the opposite side of the coin with reality laws.
If one could touch upon the illusion laws, it was the same as touching upon the reality laws.
This signified possessing the ability to manifest exact replicas of real objects and they would have the same qualities as long as the creator managed to create the conditions as well.
"For example, if I chose the rare fruit, Nectar of Life, which is renowned for its rejuvenating properties, capable of extending one's lifespan when consumed." Felix disclosed with an attentive expression, "I would need to have a detailed understanding of its taste, texture, smell, and even the energy it emits to recreate it through the illusion domain."
"More than that, you have to study, direct experience, or even do a psychic linkage with the person who consumed the fruit to understand how the fruit affects the body." Lord Loki stated, "Once you have this deep understanding, you can use the illusion domain to create the Nectar of Life's replica."
"In another sense, the real challenge lies in making the effects of the illusionary fruit interact with reality. The illusion isn't just an image or a sensation; it tricks reality itself. The process essentially convinces the consumer's body and spirit they have ingested the real Nectar of Life, triggering the same rejuvenating response." Thor interjected.
"Exactly." Lord Loki nodded.
"This is truly fascinating." Felix expressed with an amazed tone as he created the same nectar of life in his palm and scanned it all around.
Right now, he had created just the exterior and if someone ate it, it would do nothing but affect his senses. However, he understood that if he invested some of his time into studying it wholly, he could totally create a farm of said fruit and feed it to whoever he wanted.
In other words, he could literally sole-handily increase the longevity of billions of people by thousands of years if he wanted!!
"Longevity isn't out of interest for me at the moment, but if I managed to recreate similar eggs of dawn behemoths or such natural treasures capable of enhancing strength, mental defenses, etc, I can easily help my friends get much stronger."
Felix understood that Noah, Olivia, and even Selphie were limited in how much they could enhance their strength through conventional ways.
However, there were extremely natural treasures capable of boosting one's strength without caring about said limitations.
Unfortunately, either most of them went extinct or were impossible to rely on for reliability.
For example, even if one found those natural treasures, it might help them get stronger by ten thousand BF or more. But, it would be a one-time miracle, which was nothing on a bigger scale.
But, with the illusion domain involved, such miracles could be turned into normal occurrences!
"I don't know if it will be enough to help them reach a deity level if not ever, but it's better than nothing."
Although this gift wouldn't help out Felix, he wasn't selfish to keep it to himself when he could totally help his friends improve themselves.
"You are thinking too small." Asna shared with an eager tone, "You can create rare ingredients and materials for the rarest and hardest potions to make...Imagine the possibilities!"
Before Felix could react, Lady Sphinx interjected calmly, "Both of you are thinking too small. With illusion domain, you finally achieve one of your main goals."
"Hmm?"
Felix's ears perked up in intrigue.
"You can create an entire new cultivation system for your race and get them to climb the social ladder in the universe at last."
Lady Sphinx dropped a bombshell, leaving Felix and most of the tenants stunned!
Chapter 1353: Conditioning A Natural Evolution.
Supremacy Games
"That's possible?" Thor inquired with a puzzled expression, having a tough time imagining something as massive as a cultivation system could be created through an illusion domain.
1
When this subject was brought up, no one seemed attentive any longer about their poker game and gave their attention to Lady Sphinx.
In turn, she manifested a board and a long stick, then she began explaining her theory.
1
"It might sound bizarre, but it is more than doable. I have always told Felix that the humans' DNA has the key to their evolution, helping them reach higher heights than their unreliable bloodline cultivation system."
"However, when it comes to creating a new cultivation system on a massive scale, it takes a significant amount of time and effort." Lady Sphinx shared, "In this case, it will take at least a couple million years if not more with the right conditioning for the humans to evolve naturally into the desired target."
"So, you are suggesting that Felix put a portion of humans inside an illusion domain and accelerate the time by thousands of times and create the perfect environment and conditions to control their evolution in a specific way?" Asna asked with an eyebrow raised.
"More or less." Lady Sphinx nodded.
"That does feel logical, but who will agree to such an experiment?" Candace wondered, "You will be asking many people to throw their lives in an illusion world for the sake of the evolution of an entire race...With millions of years going by, there was bound to be an unfathomable number of generations being born inside the illusion and have no clue about the real world or their purpose in life."
"It will be really the most messed up experiment."
Felix couldn't help but agree with her analysis, but at the same time, he already saw plenty of solutions to such problems.
"As long as I explain the experiment reasoning and end goal, anyone who volunteered will be treated right in my illusion domain. If no one volunteered, I can always use the life sentence prisons and reform them through mind manipulation." Felix said.
1
"That seems feasible." Asna supported.
She knew that there were plenty of life-sentence prisoners across the galaxy and none of them would be able to reject the proposal.
Even if Felix hadn't reformed their minds, they would agree to it, since everything was better than staying in a cell for eternity.
"Which path do you suggest will help humans evolve into the best version of themselves?" Felix inquired.
"I suggest we leave that to nature to decide." Lady Sphinx clarified her idea, "All you have to do is introduce multiple evolution paths, relating to other species, such as pandions, werewolves, shadowborns, vampires, devourers, and even some unknown races. Because humans' DNA is versatile and adaptable with anything attached to it, with the right conditioning and breed crossing between those humans, the new generations would possess either an entirely new cultivation system or two cultivations mixed together. Whatever it was, it's better than the bloodline cultivation system."
"I understand." Felix nodded.
The bloodline cultivation system was amazing on an individual level if one had access to primogenitors' bloodlines, but when it came to a wide scale level?
It was as trash as any other manmade cultivation system without the involvement of nature.
Since Felix couldn't really introduce a new cultivation system into the existing humans since their fate was decided from their birth, he could only change the future of the human race with this method.
When he was satisfied with the latest batch of humans and their new cultivation system, he could release them to the real universe on a mission to spread their genes as much as possible...Eventually, all new generations would possess this new cultivation system and from there on, humans would be considered as a higher-ranked race in the social ladder in a natural manner!
"This sounds like it needs plenty of work and time on my part." Felix said, "It's best to focus on this project when I am done with those three bastards first."
"You are thinking too much." Lady Sphinx shook her head. "You can use a clone to supervise the project while you are handling your other businesses without conflict."
"Won't I find problems with energy consumption?" Felix frowned, "This is an elemental domain and I don't have an illusion conversion technique to help me out."
"Illusion domain is the least energy consuming domain out of all you think I am maintaining such an ever-expanding UVR across an entire universe for millions of years now?"
known five." Lord Loki cleared his doubts, "Even if you created an illusion domain spreading across thousands of kilometers, it will barely exhaust 1% of your energy after an entire month. How do you think I am maintaining such an ever-expanding UVR across an entire universe for millions of years now?"
"That's good to hear." Felix was pleasantly surprised by the low energy intake, but he found it quite reasonable.
The void domain consumed a sh*tload of energy since it erased everything touched by it...To have such an unfathomable power, it needed enough fuel.
The same applied to the life domain that was capable of bringing back wandering spirits into their bodies, something that no one was capable of doing in this universe besides the spirits' guardian and the time primogenitor.
As for the creation domain? Everything created was as real as it could be for everyone involved, even the creator.
This kind of creation required much more energy than a domain using illusion.
"With time acceleration, I can make a decade into ten million years inside of it." Felix mentioned with a faint smile, "This will end the experiment faster before I know it."
"I will leave a clone of mine to supervise it too. With your gene manipulation level, I have a feeling you will end up turning everyone into retarded animals by the end of the experiment." Lady Sphinx said calmly.
"..."
Felix wanted to retort but found no words.
He always wanted to learn more about gene manipulation from Lady Sphinx and she promised to teach him after he reached a worthy height in potion concoction.
But with everything going on, he rarely found time for his own potion concoction...Don't even mention adding a new field of study.
In the end, he could only thank her for the help as he knew that it would be much easier with his master's involvement.
Lady Sphinx owed the humans nothing to help them with this, so she was doing this purely out of curiosity and possibly to take advantage of the illusion domain to run one of her own experiments.
Felix had no issues with this at all.
"Candace, contact Malak and tell her to start choosing the subjects." Felix requested.
"On it."
While Felix wasn't planning to start this instant, it was best to begin the preparation as fast as possible.
With the galaxy's current wartorn condition, there would be plenty of people jumping on the opportunity if it meant living in peace with their families without worrying about life necessities.
...
One year later...
Felix could be seen sitting inside a laboratory while having one evil-looking eye, spinning slowly in front of him.
"Is this the final version?" Asna inquired lazily.
She had watched him spend a year of his time, focusing most of his time on perfecting the use of his illusion domain.
Since this ability was going to be one of his tramp cards against the darkins, he had to become masterful in using it.
During his training, he focused on recreating the wisdom eyes, a couple of rare powerful natural treasures, and most importantly, setting up the perfect environment for the upcoming experiment.
Natural treasures turned out to be the easiest to recreate out of the bunch while the wisdom eye had given him the most trouble.
"I hope so, I have done everything correctly this time." Felix replied.
"Do you need me to test it again?" Candace offered.
"Much appreciated."
Felix pushed the wisdom eye in the direction of Candace.
The moment the eye was on the same level as her right eye, Felix snapped his fingers and both eyes swapped positions in an instant!
Candace didn't let out a single yelp in pain or discomfort, which was a big progress from the first time they attempted to do this.
"What do you feel?" He asked.
Candace opened only the wisdom eye and looked around her with a tint of wonder.
"I can see many black auras surrounding me." Candace responded.
"This means the evil vision is working." Felix sighed in relief, "At last, we got one part correct."
Felix had created many creatures with evil intent targeting Candace to help with the experiment, and now that the evil vision was proven to work, he was left with only one issue to solve...The monstrous analytic powers of the eye!
Since only Felix and the elves could test it on runes, he didn't bother to carry the test with Candace.
The data would be useless anyway if she used it to analyze a math problem or such.
So, it was best to bring Selphie down and perfect it with her data involved after getting rid of the initial danger.
"Queen, contact Selphie, Olivia, Noah, and Bodidi." Felix requested calmly, "Tell them to get here as fast as possible."
Chapter 1354: Sharing Natural Treasures Akin to Candy
Supremacy Games
With Bodidi's assistance, Selphie and the rest had connected with Felix in less than a week.
1
The moment they met with him, he didn't bother to explain the situation to them to avoid making them overthink when consuming the natural treasures and other goodies he had prepared.
After all, they might not possess illusion immunity. However, it would be difficult for the brain to accept the notion of eating something illusionary and having a natural effect if one knew about it already.
The art of illusion was to stay unknown regardless of the situation.
Since even Selphie had no clue that natural treasures and such could be replicated through the illusion domain, there was no need to tell her to keep the information to herself.
"I have found those natural treasures that could be of great help for all of you to increase your physical strength." Felix shared as he beamed four boxes and placed them in front of his friends.
"Natural treasures?" Olivia asked with a strange look, "You don't want them? Can't you use them to increase your own strength?"
All of them knew about Felix's devourer system as they had spent thousands of years together and there was no point in hiding it from them anymore.
"I have hit a wall, and they will be wasted on me." Felix clarified casually as he opened the boxes for them, "Those natural treasures are capable of increasing physical strength quite significantly and they are appropriate for most races."
When the boxes opened up, none of them seemed to have heard the last sentence as their dazed eyes were left affixed on clusters of Fortiflora Cordyceps...Their mesmerizing colors illuminated the area with an otherworldly glow. Each of them took a moment to drink in sight, their faces reflecting the hypnotic colors of the plants.
The plants' true spectacle lies in their flowers, a dazzling array of bioluminescent hues. The floral orb consisted of an intricate pattern of lines, circles, and spirals, creating an almost hypnotic effect.
The flowers were closed shut at the moment, but Selphie knew that a small fruit the size and color of a blueberry was hidden inside.
"Wow," Bodidi finally broke the silence, his usually playful tone replaced with a touch of reverence. "They're beautiful."
Selphie was next to speak. She reached in, carefully picking up one of the flowers with a look of sheer disbelief, "It's... It's incredible. Felix, where did you get this many?? It's deemed impossible to even find one across the entire universe!"
Felix's eyelids twitched, already knowing that Selphie would be his greatest obstacle as he couldn't dupe the daughter of the nature goddess, one of the few people with the most knowledge about existing or extinct plants.
"Huh?! They are that rare?!" Olivia's eyes widened as she pulled her hand from the box, feeling uncomfortable touching such treasure.
"Rare? This is considered as one of the only triple SSS natural treasures in the universe and it has gone extinct way past the era of the dark ages."
1
Selphie identified with a tone filled with disbelief, still finding it hard to accept that she was in the presence of hundreds of such a godly treasure!
"This..."
Even the silent and stoic Noah, couldn't help but show emotions on his face at her statement.
"I don't want to hear anything about rejecting my gifts." Felix interjected before they could think too hard about this. "I can't consume them to increase my devourer's mark since it's too much of a waste and they can't be used in any known potion. So, take them and absorb them before they lose their beneficial properties."
"But..."
"I don't want to hear any buts." Felix said with a solemn tone as he walked away, "When I get back, I expect to see at least half the box empty. Selphie will guide you with the procedures to digest them correctly."
Without turning his head even once, Felix walked swiftly outside of the training hall and closed the door behind him, leaving them staring at his back with mixed emotions.
If only they knew that those natural treasures were made out of illusion and it had cost him nothing more than a couple of months of study, their reaction might have been a bit different.
"You heard the boss, let's get digging!" Bodidi was the first one to pick up the flower using telekinesis and placed it near his tiny mouth.
"That's not how you eat it."
Selphie paused the time around him and took the flower in a careful manner. Then, she explained with a fascinated expression, "Each flower possesses a fruit inside of it, the correct way to bring out most of the benefits from this treasure, is to eat the fruit whole and then within each ten seconds interval, eat a single petal continuously until you finish all of them."
"If you did it in this manner, your physical strength will be enhanced significantly depending on your current physical limitation." Selphie shared, "The highest known enhancement though was fifty thousand BF."
The moment Noah heard this, his eyes lit up at the opportunity, believing that he could at least increase his strength by one hundred thousand BF if he consumed all of those treasures.
'You are underestimating your body limitation too much.' Fenrir shut down his dreams, 'Even if you ate the whole four boxes, you should feel grateful if your strength was enhanced by fifty thousand BF.'
'I see...' This did put a damper on Noah's mood, but he was still thrilled with the opportunity.
He knew that the higher he got, the more difficult it would be for him to find such chances and for those treasures to make any difference.
Meanwhile, the same didn't apply to Selphie, Bodidi, and Olivia!
All of them could get the most benefits from the flowers until their bodies become immune to them.
Without further ado, all of them sat down in a circle and began eating them using Selphie's method.
"Is this really a gift or a curse..." Felix clicked his tongue, somewhat envious of his friends' ability to get the best of out his illusion domain.
"Well, this is a fraction of what it takes to reach your level, so let them eat in peace." Asna mused.
"I know."
Felix might be a bit jealous of not being able to benefit from his illusion domain in the same manner as them, but he wouldn't trade it to be in their position.
It was like trading a position of a god for the sake of being a worshipper to enjoy his blessing. Having the illusion domain allowed him to do more than this.
...
A couple of days later...
Felix returned to the training hall and found out that his friends were all sitting in meditation positions while surrounded by an eerie green aura.
He didn't react much, knowing that it was the last step of finalizing each flower's absorption.
Felix had supervised the entire process to save them in case any inconsistency had occurred during the digestion since he had to study the process for all three different races.
Thankfully, nothing of such happened and all of them were on the verge of completing the entire chests.
"This is quite evolutionary..." Candace noted, "Besides Noah obtaining merely twenty thousand BF increase, and Olivia forty thousand BF, the rest had almost touched the one hundred thousand BF ceiling."
"It's quite expected, both elves' and space worms' physical properties aren't that great, which gave them too much room for improvement." Felix nodded.
"Well, think of the possibilities if you put tens of billions of humans with similar disadvantages and feed them with such treasures." Candace expressed, "You will be helping even the current generations get a solid footing on their own within the alliance!"
Felix's experiment was meant to help the entire human race in the far future by changing their evolutionary path.
This was all good and well, but the humans in this era would still be considered bottom feeders unless Felix decided to intervene and change the rules of the alliance.
Felix would prefer if his race was capable of standing on its own without using him as a crutch for the remainder of his life...After all, he had other important matters to handle and he couldn't always babysit the human race, no matter how much he cared for them.
"Well, helping a small portion to get stronger and assist the entire race to carry its weight in the alliance isn't a bad thing."
Felix approved the plan, knowing that it would finally give him some peace of mind from his race direction and it would cost him nothing much.
"I suggest you do this after handling the darkins." Thor warned, "They aren't idiots, and if they found out about humans getting stupidly strong out of nowhere, they will link it with you."
"Whether they could guess what you did or not, they will be extra wary."
"I know." Felix nodded before adding, "Speaking about them, I think it's about time we have a trial run."
"You will use illusion domain to create their clones?" Asna wondered.tur
"Yes, and this time, they will have 100% of their strength and all of their abilities in their arsenal...Even ultimate abilities." Felix cracked his knuckles with an icy smile.
Chapter 1355: Undesireable, But Expected Results
Supremacy Games
Felix hadn't spent the past year messing about with his illusion domain for nothing.
He was preparing for this moment, where he would be able to create high-quality illusionary copies of his adversities!
The darkins' clones might not be 100% copies of the real deal, but it was going to be pretty close with all the data in his possession.
After all, the Asgardians had fought against them for eons and they were the only ones knowing their fighting style and abilities as good as them.
Felix had no plans of fighting the darkins without having a true taste of their powers first.
"Is it not better to do this in the UVR? With Lord Loki on our side, he can create better copies without complaints." Asna suggested.
If Lord Loki wasn't on their side and he had authority over Queen Ai, there was no way Felix could do this without the darkins' permission.
"I know, but I want to do it on my own." Felix shook his head, "The more I use illusion domain for such complex problems, the better my control gets...Plus, the fight will occur in the real universe, and doing it in a virtual space won't cut it."
While both illusion domains were similar, Felix would always know deep down that he was in the UVR and not the real world.
He wanted the trial run to mimic the real battle as much as possible to give him accurate data.
...
Knowing that his friends still needed to absorb a couple more flowers to finish the chests, Felix teleported into outer space without his spacesuit on.
The moment he became a deity, he didn't need a constant supply of oxygen to keep himself alive as his body became capable of using any kind of energy to replace the same properties of oxygen.
The oxygen's task was quite simple as it helped the cells with the ability to break down food in order to get the energy needed to survive...As long as this task was fulfilled, it didn't matter what source it came from.
In other words, after becoming a deity, the infinite neutral energy in outer space became the new oxygen for his body!
'This should be enough.' Felix commentated after putting a decent distance between him and the Eternal Nautilus.
Then, he waved his hand and the invisible illusion domain expanded until it covered tens of thousands of kilometers in the blink of an eye.
"Who are you starting with?"
"Wendigo."
"Interesting, starting with the hardest one?" Asna raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"I will conclude the trial with all three of them against me, so the order doesn't matter." Felix said calmly, "I have to prepare for all possible scenarios."
Although Felix knew that Lady Sphinx and Fenrir would be backing him up, it was best to be safe than sorry.
Without further ado, Felix focused on manifesting the perfect version of Wendigo, using the provided data.
Even the consciousness created was identical to Wendigo in terms of prowess, intelligence, and personality!
The only difference was memories as Felix couldn't copy something he had no clue about. Though, to give the illusion clone a perfect motivation to kill Felix, he infested his mind with all the sh*t that happened between them, which was enough to fill his heart with hatred.
When Felix was done and Wendigo opened his eyes, he seemed like he was rearing to rip Felix's face off!
Without an ounce of hesitation, Felix retracted his control and watched Wendigo's silhouette that mirrored the infinite obsidian canvas of space make the first move!
Utilizing the Dark Shroud, he enveloped himself in an aura of shadow that blended seamlessly into the space around him, making his figure almost imperceptible!
"I got just the thing for that."
Unfazed, Felix used his Illusion ability to cast a spectrum of light in every direction. The illuminating mirage rippled through the void, revealing fleeting glimpses of Wendigo's position!
Darkness opposite was light and Felix could manipulate the light and all almost elements with his own illusion domain!
Seizing the opportunity, Felix executed his Lightning ability, Thunder's God Ordinance, sending the most powerful bolt of pure plasma toward the Wendigo.
However, Wendigo seemed prepared.
Using his Shadow Warp ability, he manipulated the darkness to transport himself away from the incoming attack, reappearing behind Felix.
Just as he was about to unleash shadow chains and follow it up with a mental attack, Felix summoned concept destruction palms and did nothing but mark darkness element!
With two slaps, the darkness chains were erased and even Wendigo's existence was almost at risk if he didn't pull away to safety!
Realizing that he couldn't get close to Felix without endangering himself and that his darkness abilities were useless against those destruction palms, Wendigo went for his ultimate ability...Eclipse of Consciousness!
'He is using it.' Felix narrowed his eyes in focus as he watched Wendigo shroud the surroundings in impenetrable darkness, severing his connection with all sources of light, and plunging him into an abyss.
If it wasn't for the concept erasure palms protecting him, he would have plunged into it as well.
Still, he didn't feel safe at all as he knew that the real attack had yet to start!
The real attack, however, began in the mind.
Wendigo's cosmic skull appeared high and mighty with his devilish soulless eyes facing Felix.
Without doing anything, he just kept staring at Felix right in his eyes...Felix didn't close them and kept sharing eye contact with him, wanting to test out whether he would come out alive after experiencing it with his enhanced mental defenses.
Soon, Felix began to feel his inner darkness seeping into his mind.
Crack! Crack!...
Mind Fortress and Psychic Shield were blown out simultaneously the moment they attempted to stop this darkness invasion that was born out of him!
'It can't be, my mental barriers and shields aren't enough?!' Black lines appeared on Felix's forehead at the notion of losing the mental warfare!
After he integrated with Lord Loki's bloodline, he had great confidence in his mental defenses, especially when he unlocked the mind fortress passive.
Alas, Wendigo didn't use just any mental attack, but one of the only three mental ultimate attacks created by a primogenitor!
'Sh*t...I can't think straight anymore...'
Soon, darkness clouded his thoughts and impaired his cognitive functions. The attack further exacerbates feelings of despair, loneliness, and paranoia, fracturing the mental resilience of the victim!
Felix wanted to challenge the attack straightforwardly and test himself, and now he was paying the price!
The moment the darkness finished with his mind, it moved to the most sacred entity in the whole body, the Soul!
The soul barrier started to darken slowly but surely. While Felix's mind was in jumbles, he knew that the moment the darkness cover his entire soul barrier, it would be the moment when his soul wouldn't belong to him anymore!
This was Wendigo's most feared ultimate ability...Eclipse of Consciousness.
It was called such since the soul barrier was a sphere and resembled a star...When the consciousness barrier became completely black, it resembled a star under an eclipse.
'Pause.'
Just as the situation seemed to have gotten unfixable even for him, Felix called out in his mind, causing everything happening in the illusion domain to come to a standstill.
"Well, I don't think this is the result you anticipated." Asna mused.
"I really thought I could have blocked it." Felix sighed.
"I don't know what was your source of confidence." Thor shook his head, "You just became a deity and you think you can block an ultimate metal attack, something that even we feared and avoided at all cost?"
Wendigo's ultimate ability was powerful, but it could work only if there was prolonged eye contact with the target after activation.
The Asgardians always avoided this at all costs during their fights with the darkins even if it meant bailing out.
They knew that the moment it worked on them, they would be controlled akin to puppets by Wendigo!
"Dealing with Saurous and Manananggal will be quite straightforward for you, but I strongly suggest that you avoid Wendigo...At least, not until you become an origin bloodliner and receive the greatest powerup to your mental defenses." Jörmungandr advised.
"I understand." Felix nodded with a serious expression.
Although the results of the trial weren't satisfactory, Felix wasn't discouraged one bit.
In fact, his confidence was healthier than ever since he realized that the darkins only had Wendigo's ultimate ability to harm him.
As long as he avoided it, he was still more than capable of making them regret the day they antagonized him!
"Saurous, Next."
Chapter 1356: Revisiting The Forge.
Supremacy Games
A few more years went by akin to a cool breeze in spring...
The SGAlliance had unpaused their ranking systems and used all the gained SGPoints during the war for each race's contribution and created a new ranking.
This caused the void nation's ranking to skyrocket and become the fourth ruler!
It was expected as they were the busiest in this entire war due to their overbearing void armies.
Meanwhile, the human race benefited from Felix's representation yet again and was pushed to rank fifteen.
Besides the fact he slain the demon king, he was controlling hundreds of millions of void creatures with Nimo to slow down the demonic invasion in the milky way galaxy.
All of those earned points were given to the human race. Olivia and Noah's involvement in the war also played a major role and earned them an immense amount of points, which were worth cheering for.
Alongside those two drastic changes, the remaining ranks remained somewhat stable if the eliminated races weren't counted.
Felix didn't care much about such ranking at the moment, knowing that the human race would return closer to its rightful rank in the next great reset.
As for his friends? Felix had already done his part of the deal and helped Selphie obtain the wisdom eye after a brutal experimental period.
Since the illusion domain's energy was bearable, he created a cozy house for her and left her to study the runic codex in peace.
The results were just as extraordinary as Lady Yggdrasil proclaimed...Selphie had managed to extract two new lesser time spells in less than two years, which was inconceivable!
Felix was more than pleased with her results as he would be getting those new spells for free.
Since he wasn't losing anything, Felix bestowed the wisdom eye upon Olivia, Noah, and Bodidi as well.
It might not be as effective as in runic study, but it did help them in learning new elemental abilities.
Felix also spent those years in preparation for the upcoming clash.
He had fought against the darkins clones multiple times until they became predictable due to the limitation imposed by the data.
"You are more than ready to take those bastards on." Asna encouraged Felix as she watched him plan to run another useless simulation.
"I know that, but I want them dead." Felix narrowed his eyes coldly, "I have to do everything in my power to make sure that happens in our fight."
Not a single primogenitor was killed at the hands of another ever since their birth and Felix understood that if he wanted to make history, he better come strapping in with everything he got.
"Still, you are right." Felix canceled the simulation, "No matter how many times I kill their clones, it wouldn't help me much with the real thing."
Felix had already killed the darkins' clones in many unique ways in his training. While this helped him gain confidence in his ability to slay the real deal, he knew that if he based his training on the darkins, he would be blindsided.
"It's time for the final touches." Felix reached out to his bracelet and dialed a number on it.
After a few rings, the call was picked up and the deafening cacophony of a busy forge echoed in the background.
The roar of the fires, as they licked and gnawed at the raw materials, the rhythmic pounding and grinding of machines shaping the divine metals, and the sibilant whispers of steam.
"Elder Cyclope," he called, his voice slightly raised, straining to be heard over the mechanical beasts roaring and hammering out a rhythm of progress.
"What do you want, boy? Can't you hear I am busy?" Elder Cyclope replied with an impatient tone.
"I am calling to ask if the work on the divine weapon is close to completion." Felix informed him with a solemn tone, "The eventful day is soon approaching and I would like to have my weapon with me."
"Hahaha! I always knew you were destined for great things, but I would have never imagined that you will start hunting for the darkins before a century passed." Elder Cyclope laughed, his booming voice engulfed the forge's noise.
When Elder Cyclope began working on Felix's divine weapon, he could be barely mentioned in the same breath as the top ten strongest fighters in the alliance.
Yet, in less than eighty years in the real world, he was already rearing to begin his vengeance on actual primogenitors!
Even Elder Cyclope couldn't help but be left astonished by his groundbreaking speed.
"I have received great help in the elementals galaxy."
Felix confessed, unwilling to accept such credit as it made him seem like he was blessed by gods instead of spending thousands of years, bleeding, sweating, and dying to reach his current level.
"You think that's not as impressive?" Elder Cyclope chuckled, "It took primogenitors hundreds of millions of years to reach their peak before their advancements either halted or slowed down to a snail's speed. You have reached their level in less than ten thousand years and I doubt this is even your limit."
"To know that one of my few masterpieces is going to be wielded by you sets my heart at peace."
"I'm undeserving of such high honor." Felix replied with a respectful tone.
"Enough of this, if you want to come to check your weapon, accept the link."
Straightforward as an arrow, Elder Cyclope sent Felix the link and hung up the call the moment he felt that the conversation was going to waste his time.
Without delay, Felix logged in to the UVR and pressed the link, causing him to appear in Elder Cyclope's real forge as a holographic figure.
As Felix opened his eyes, the sight that met him was nothing short of awe-inspiring.
Suspended in midair by a pair of formidable, mechanical arms, a magnificent axe seemed to defy the laws of gravity and time!
The divine axe held aloft like a deity on a celestial altar, shimmered with a captivating, otherworldly glow.
The ancestral dragon's golden scales wrapped around the handle shone with a brilliance that seemed to pulse in sync with Felix's heartbeat.
Meanwhile, the root of Lady Yggdrasil, which connected the handle and the head, emanated an aura that was both soothing and intimidating, a testament to the divine wisdom that it bore!
The head of the weapon, sculpted from the rarest Nethersteel, glimmered ominously under the flickering lights of the forge.
The axe blade on one side radiated a dark, chilling promise of destruction, while the hammer on the other projected an unyielding resolve.
The potent juxtaposition of these two forces, creation, and annihilation, was a breathtaking spectacle to behold!
Felix stared at the divine weapon, the weight of what he had accomplished pressing down on him.
The dangerous adventures he had to go through to collect the materials for this divine weapon seemed to play akin to a lost movie in his mind.
Yet, not an ounce of regret was displayed in his eyes that reflected the brilliance of his end reward.
All he could utter in the end was, "It was worth it..."
"I see you have been mesmerized by this masterpiece." Elder Cyclope stood next to Felix and said with a faint smile, "It's been waiting for you to name it for a long time now, how about you give it a go?"
"Really? Is it already finished?" Felix broke out of his daze.
"Not yet, it still needs a few final touches to bring everything together, but feel free to name it." Elder Cyclopes offered, "There aren't going to be any more drastic changes."
"I see...Well, I don't think I can name it now." Felix responded, "My brain is coming out blank and I think I have to try it on first."
"That's not an issue." Elder Cyclope offered, "If you want to test it out, you can come right now."
"For real? Won't it ruin the forging process?" Felix's eyes widened in shock and a bit of excitement.
"The forging process is already over and as well as most of the divine inscriptions." Elder Cyclope smiled, "I always leave a decade or so for testing as I can't give out my work without making sure everything is perfect. You can take care of this if you w..."
"I am on my way!"
Before Elder Cyclopes could finish his sentence, Felix already took off.
Elder Cyclope chuckled and lifted his head to stare at his masterpiece...As he kept staring at it, his laugh died down until only a solemn expression remained.
"Let's hope he will be able to handle you."
Chapter 1357: Only For The Worthy.
Supremacy Games
To get there even faster, Felix used both Bodidi and Candace's help.
1
This decreased the journey's period to less than a few hours even when they were billions of light years away from each other.
Whoosh!
After being given permission, Candace opened a void rift inside the forge and Felix exited it with a suppressed eager expression.
He tried his best to play it cool and stay composed, but it wasn't that easy.
Who could blame him? He would finally own a divine weapon and not just any one, but a masterpiece born out of the ashes of Moljin and made with the best materials known in the universe!
1
"Woah...Is this really a weapon?" Bodidi expressed with a dazed expression as he stared at the divine axe with his head lifted.
"It's not any weapon, it's the greatest weapon I have ever forged." Elder Cyclope appeared out of nowhere with a nude hairy upper chest, covered in sweat.
"Even better than Mjolnir?"
Thor manifested as a hologram with a defensive expression, seemingly offended that his precious weapon had lost the crown of the best-forged divine equipment.
All primogenitors possessed hundreds if not thousands of divine equipment, but only a couple had masterpieces like Mjolnir.
"Don't get upset with me here, I can tell you right now and here that this axe should possess a different grade entirely." Elder Cyclope noted with a tint of pride in his tone, "Because of your kid's unique prowess and seemingly limitless potential, I had taken the liberty to go all out like never before."
"If you really feel this way, then I have to say, I am anticipating the axe's prowess." Thor dropped his dissatisfaction, knowing that Elder Cyclope wasn't boastful.
If he proclaimed that the divine axe was this amazing, then it was bound to turn heads.
"Well, there is quite an issue." Elder Cyclope rubbed his bald scalp with a sheepish look.
"What issue?"
Felix's excitement and eagerness dried up immediately at the sound of this ominous statement.
"Because I went all out and didn't restrict the divine axe's prowess, not anyone can wield it to its fullest potential...Even worse, if you are deemed unworthy, your lifeforce will be used to power up each skill used that belongs to it."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Everyone was left staring at Elder Cyclope speechlessly, having no clue what to say back.
It was understandable to feel this way as Thor didn't sacrifice his criteria to be deemed worthy?"
partner just for the weapon to remain unusable...No need to mention Felix who went through hell to get his hands on those three materials.
Felix took a deep breath and asked. "Elder...May I know what are the criteria to be deemed worthy?"
"That's the thing, I have no clue." Elder Cyclope shrugged his shoulders.
Felix's eyelids twitched, but he kept his emotions under control, not daring to lash out. Fortunately, Thor wasn't as patient as him.
"Old geezer! What the hell is this?" Thor cursed, "What's the point of this weapon being powerful if there is no one to wield it?"
This was the rational reaction for anyone with a bit of intelligence.
Felix would have felt better to know at least the criteria of judgment, so he could work towards winning the divine axe's approval. But, when there were no criteria, this meant that he had to leave it to fate.
There was nothing worse than not being in complete control of his own weapon, especially, when he had to sacrifice his life force each time he used it.
"Take it or leave it, you know I have no refund policy." Elder Cyclope waved his hand casually, taking no responsibility for this problem.
"You better throw in some divine equipment from your vault as compensation!"
Knowing that there was nothing going to change this situation, Thor could only take advantage of it and earn Felix some more divine pieces of equipment.
"Keep dreaming."
Alas, Elder Cyclpe might be kind, but he wasn't easy to swindle.
"Tsk, cheapskate." Thor clicked his tongue.
"Master, what's done is done." Felix narrowed his eyes at the magnificent gigantic divine axe and uttered, "The only path forward is to make it recognize me as its master."
The divine axe's smooth silver metal head gleamed the moment Felix finished speaking, seemingly taunting him to give it his best.
"Is it just me or does it feel like it has a consciousness?" Candace tilted her head in confusion.
"It shouldn't...At least, not this soon." Thor shook his head. "This is called divine instinct and most divine equipments have them. It helps with communication with the equipment to activate its inscribed skills."
"It looks like this divine axe's instinct is a tad more demanding than the others."
"Does divine equipment awake their consciousness because of this instinct?" Felix inquired.
"It plays a tiny role in it, but in reality, consciousness awakening can happen only after long exposures with elemental energy and usage." Thor clarified, "My Mjolnir was merely a hundred million years away from having its own consciousness. This was possible only because I was using it in every fight."
"For now, you shouldn't bother yourself with this." Thor said, "If you don't find a way to make this weapon yours, you can forget about any of this."
"I will make it happen." Felix nodded with a serious expression.
Without delay, Felix increased his size until he was three times the divine axe's height. Then, he reached out with his right hand and caught it from the middle of the twisted shimmering milky white root.
The moment Felix made contact with the divine axe, it pulsed with a dormant, yet palpable energy, making him feel like he was holding into a slumbering nightmare, one that could awaken and unleash chaos at any moment.
Whoosh!
The divine inscriptions etched onto the axe, suddenly glimmered as they came into contact with his flesh, causing the entire divine axe to start lighting up akin to a Christmas tree.
"Ugh!"
A beautiful, hypnotic sight...If it wasn't for the fact Felix's life force was being sucked out of him against his will!
Felix could feel it vividly, a subtle leeching at first, like a thirst on a hot day.
The axe was drinking deeply from his lifeforce, each breath drawn from him lighting up another divine inscription on the weapon.
The axe head shimmered like a star-lit night sky, a spectacle that was both ethereal and terrifying.
"Leave it be, Felix!" Asna called out with a hint of worry at how fast Felix's life force was being devoured!
In just a few seconds, he had lost decades of his longevity and it didn't seem to be slowing anytime soon!
"I am trying, but the f*cker won't let go!" Felix cursed as he kept attempting to pull his hand from the divine axe.
Alas, it felt as if it was melded into the weapon's haft, unyielding and inseparable.
The draining persisted, his lifeforce being siphoned away with a cruel inevitability that stirred a wave of rising anger within him.
Felix's eyes blazed with defiance, knowing that he could never tame this monster if he cut off his hand or did anything else to escape from its leashing!
"ENOUGH!"
With a thundering furious shout, ripping from his throat, Felix drew back his free hand, fist clenched tight as granite, and swung at the axe's gleaming silver head!!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
His fist collided with the divine metal with a deafening clang that echoed through the celestial forge!
The impact sent a shockwave pulsing out from the point of contact, a raw burst of energy that rippled across the room, shaking the very foundation of the celestial forge!
As hard as a mountain, Elder Cyclope stood through the shockwave while Candace and Bodidi swiftly escaped into different dimensions, knowing that their bodies would get blown out into shreds if they got touched by it!
After the shockwave passed by, the divine inscriptions flared brightly before settling back down, their lights dimming.
The gluing force on his hand went away and his life force was finally spared. Still, Felix didn't quickly retract his hand to safety.
Instead, he doubled down his clutch and brought the divine axe near his icy cold expression.
"I don't mind playing rough as well, so I dare you to keep pulling this sh*t in my presence." He uttered.
The divine axe didn't respond, making it seem like it had gotten tamed...But, Felix could feel that the divine axe was as defiant as him and he had merely proved himself to hold it!
Holding it was one thing and wielding it was another.
'This is really going to be a handful for you.' Asna chuckled.
Chapter 1358: Testing The Divine Axe!
Supremacy Games
'I don't mind it, we will see who will prevail in the end.' Felix smiled, waving the divine axe around him to have a sense of its weight.
1
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Even though he was gently waving it around, the air seemed to cry for help as the sharp blade of the axe kept slicing through it without an ounce of resistance.
"Let's take it outside to test it." Elder Cyclope shooed him away, "You will damage my forge like this."
Felix placed the divine axe on his shoulder and requested with an eager tone, "Is it possible to try it on a planet or a star?"
"As long as you pick another solar system, do as you please with it." Elder Cyclope permitted.
The moment he heard this, Felix took off with Bodidi and Candace...Obviously, he took elder Cyclope with them to supervise the test and give a final grade to his work.
...
Two million light years away from the forge, Felix could be seen standing thousands of kilometers away from a small deserted cloudy planet.
The barren expanse of the small, deserted planet stretched out before Felix, a canvas of emptiness punctuated only by the stark loneliness of space.
In his hand, the divine axe, gargantuan and imposing, pulsed with celestial energy.
Felix balanced the tremendous weight of the axe effortlessly on his shoulder.
His eyes, full of steely determination, were locked onto the lifeless sphere in the distance...He had already done his due diligence and found out that not a single ounce of life was on this planet.
It was the same as a pebble near a river, no one would know or care if it went missing.
'Let's do this.'
With a deep breath, he hoisted the axe over his shoulder, its divine inscriptions flickering to life, lighting up the desolate landscape around him!
"Size Manipulation."
Felix used both his ultimate ability and the size manipulation skill on the divine axe to grow into celestial sizes together.
"Woaah...This is the first time I see a living person get this big."
Bodidi exclaimed with an astounded tone as he stared at Felix and his axe, becoming as big as Earth or even slightly bigger!
"At last, you can sustain such size for a decent period." Asna commentated.
She knew that Thor, Cyclopes, and other primogenitors with size manipulation were required to devour planets and celestial objects as fuel since neutral energy in outer space wasn't potent enough for lasting periods.
Right now, Felix could maintain this form for a reasonable period before his size would get reduced forcefully to adjust to the incoming fuel.
Unfortunately, the divine axe also required a heavy amount of fuel to maintain its freakish size.
The fuel in this scenario was nonother than Felix's life force!
'F*cking hell, I can feel the years getting sucked out of me each second.' Felix got pissed again at the divine axe targeting his life force instead of the elemental energy stored within it.
Alas, no matter how mad he had gotten this time, it didn't seem like the divine axe had any intentions of switching fuel sources.
So, instead of complaining or canceling the test entirely, Felix took a deep breath to calm himself and then hurled the divine axe with everything he got!
The enormous weapon sliced through the vacuum of space like a shooting star, a brilliant comet that marked its path with an ethereal trail!
The abandoned planet seemed to hold its breath as the axe drew nearer, almost as if anticipating the impact.
With a deafening crash that reverberated through the cosmos, the divine axe struck, its silver head cutting into the planet's crust like a hot knife through butter under the stunned eyes of Bodidi and Candace.
"Dear goodness..."
"What the..."
The silent planet was silent no more, as a shockwave of cosmic energy rippled across its surface, the impact splitting the planet cleanly down the middle!
From a distance, Felix watched as the once solid sphere started to slowly separate, creating a monumental chasm that bore testament to the power of the divine axe.
As the dust settled and the echoing rumble of the cataclysm faded away, something remarkable happened.
The divine axe, seemingly unscathed by the colossal destruction it had wrought, began to change its trajectory!
Like a cosmic boomerang, it reversed its course, cutting across the emptiness of space to return to its user!
Felix anticipated this much and outstretched his right hand.
With a sense of inevitability, the divine axe returned to him...It settled into his grasp as if it had never left, as intact as the moment he first held it, its divine inscriptions glowing softly.
"If you weren't such a hungry asshole, I would have kissed you now." Felix said with an irritated look, mixed with satisfaction.
How could he not be satisfied?
He had just sundered an entire planet into two halves from thousands of kilometers without putting much effort into it.
The best part? The divine axe would always return to him as it had the same boomerang skill inscribed on it, which meant he would never be without his weapon in hand!
Felix swiftly canceled the size manipulation skill of the divine axe and returned it to its original size, not wanting to lose out more years for nothing.
'What you have seen right now, is only four skills being used...Three passively, and one actively.' Elder Cyclope shared telepathically. 'Besides Size Manipulation and Boomerang, the other two are Empowered Acceleration and Fine Cut.'
'Seems like they are the improved versions of what I had before.' Felix smiled.
When Elder Cyclope told him to pick the skills he wanted on his divine axe, Felix prioritized those passives even when they sounded too simple and common.
It was the right move as when both those two passives work together, nothing can stop them from cutting through anything!
'I have also added a similar second form to your previous battleaxe as per your request.' Elder Cyclope said, 'Just call duel style and it will be activated.'
'If it's the same as the one I know, there is no need to showcase it.' Thor advised, 'You might have millions of years of lifespan now that you have become a deity, but it doesn't mean you can waste them to fuel meaningless tests.'
'I understand.' Felix nodded in agreement.
Elder Cyclope moved on as well.
'Besides those five requested skills, I took the liberty to inscribe skills relevant to your countless unique powers.' He grinned faintly.
'What do you mean?'
'First off, I added two elemental amplification/empowering skills working in tandem to increase the prowess and even effect of any spell, skill, or ability used.' Elder Cyclope shared with a look of gratification. 'This is a new combination of skills that have never been inscribed on any other divine equipment before.'
'You are telling me that all of my abilities, spells, and even the divine axe's skills can be amplified? How is that even possible?!'
Neither Felix nor the tenants believed Elder Cyclope's bold statement right away as it was just so insane to think about.
Even Lord Shiva and Lord Loki had their interest piqued.
They could understand amplifying skills and abilities, but runes had wands as their medium and there was no way they would be affected by another object, even if it was a divine weapon.
'I know what you are wondering.' Elder Cyclope smiled, 'All I had to do was turn the divine axe into a wand as well to make it work.'
'Lady Yggdrasil's first root!' Felix exclaimed as he eyed the milky white haft.
'It wouldn't have been possible without it.' Elder Cyclope confirmed.
'You really outdid yourself here.' Thor praised.
'I have just been given more freedom in my work.' Elder Cyclope scoffed in annoyance, 'Working with you guys has been a pain in the ass since you need your skills tailored exactly for your element.'
'We didn't hear you complain back then.' Thor's eyelids twitched.
Elder Cyclope ignored him and continued his conversation with Felix, 'If you want to use the amplification on anything, just channel the ability through the divine axe.'
'It's really like a wand.'
Just as Felix picked a time spell and wanted to test the waters with it, Elder Cyclope warned him, 'Be careful, the amplification is limited to the fuel it's given.'
'Sh*t.' Felix dropped the test immediately.
He understood that his divine axe was using lifeforce as fuel and if he dared to use the amplification skills, it would make sure to suck him dry out of centuries if not millenniums until he cut off the source!
'If I want to use this axe to its fullest potential, I really need to tame it and recognize me as its master.' Felix narrowed his eyes coldly, 'Since it responds to confrontation, I can't b*tch out from a mere test.'
'Elder Cyclope, can you tell me one of its active offensive skills?' Felix asked.
If he was going to amplify something, it better be a new skill to test two at once.
'You can try Cosmic Rift.' Elder Cyclope suggested with a wide smile.
Chapter 1359: Cosmic Rift!
Supremacy Games
'Cosmic Rift?' Felix raised an eyebrow in intrigue.
'It's one of the divine axe's strongest attacks.' Elder Cyclope said, 'Just make sure to channel spatial elemental energy to activate it.'
'Alright.'
Felix didn't ask for more as he wanted to see the attack with his own eyes. The first thing he did was increase his size with the axe yet again to a celestial height.
'I am going to show you that no one else is capable of wielding you as good as me in this entire universe.' Felix uttered indifferently as he eyed the divine axe.
Then, he began channeling the spatial elemental energy into it, causing a portion of divine inscriptions to light up, responding to the call.
As he drew on the fathomless depths of his power, the axe responded in kind; its edge flaring with hues unseen, as if drinking in the very essence of the cosmos.
Just like it sensed his desire to impress it, the divine axe responded by devouring his life force akin to a hungry hippo to power up the cosmic rift attack in addition to its amplification!
Humm! Humm...
A purplish hue began manifesting from the axe's blade while it was vibrating left and right, seemingly building inside of it an unfathomable power that was too tough to contain!
'You think I can't handle you?!' Felix tightened his grip on the axe's handle while his face kept getting whiter and whiter.
'You can do it!' Asna encouraged him instead of stopping him, knowing that Felix could not back down from this confrontation.
'The divine axe is taking in more fuel than it requires and it will reach a point when it will be too much for it.'
Lord Loki mentioned with a look of anticipation as he was seen eating popcorn while sunbathing next to Lord Shiva.
'How much do you think it will absorb before the boy finally gives in?' He turned around and asked his peer.
'He isn't giving in.' Lord Shiva responded expressionlessly, not bothering to even glance in his direction.
'You have this much confidence in him?' Lord Loki chuckled, 'He might have millions of years to live, but it doesn't mean he can afford to have his life force devoured this fiercely.'
Lord Shiva ignored him and glanced only once in Felix's direction. Then, he looked down and continued sunbathing lazily.
He understood that Lord Loki was right and that Felix might even end up dead if he lost too much of his life force at once, but still, he was certain that he wasn't going to give up.
HUMMM!! HUMMMM!!
'I suggest we watch from another dimension.'
Elder Cyclope swiftly joined Bodidi in his pocket dimension after seeing that the divine axe's blade was humming nonstop, sending powerful reverberation all over the place.
While he wasn't worried about them, he sure as hell wanted to not be around in case the divine axe did end up blowing up from within!
'A shame really, going out like this on your first day.' Felix mocked.
He might sound uncaring and unbothered, but his scrawny dull body said otherwise.
If he bothered to count, he would find out that he had lost more than ten thousand years in merely a couple of seconds, something that would freak out anyone else!
Yet, he still had no plans of backing out.
HUMMMM!!!
As everyone's breaths were held either in worry or anticipation at the sight of the divine axe's head seemingly about to explode, Felix felt a sudden gentle sensation running through his fingers.
'Smart choice.' Felix neither mocked nor gloated, he simply narrowed his eyes in the direction of the nearest star.
With a deep voice, he muttered, 'Cosmic Rift.'
And then he swung.
He swung with the weight of galaxies behind his blow.
The axe, an instrument of the cosmos, sang a resounding chord that echoed through the silent, chilling vacuum of space!
The omnipotent force encased within the axe ignited in a prismatic blaze, projecting an unfathomable purplish force gush that split the very fabric of reality!
Reality twisted and distorted as the shockwave tore across the universe, the cosmos seemingly folding upon itself!
A swath of darkness, vast and terrifying, cut through the stars like a gargantuan blade.
The yawning rift, a void as black as the farthest reaches of the universe, bisected the heavens...It spanned more than millions of kilometers, a horrifying testament to the power Felix and the divine axe had summoned hand in hand!
Yet, it wasn't over.
The nearest star, a colossal sphere of fiery plasma, was caught in the torrent of this cosmic calamity.
The star quivered under the force of the axe's power, its photons trembling as the incision approached.
Then, with a deafening silence that resonated through the cosmos, the star was cleaved in twain under the stunned eyes of Asna and the tenants...Even Lord Shiva and Lord Loki had their pupils enlarged at this harrowing but breathtaking sight.
'Oh, dear...'
'This is...'
In that monumental moment, the star began to collapse upon itself. Its halves spiraled into the dark abyss of the rift, a final dance before their end.
The pressure mounted, a cauldron of nuclear reactions going haywire as the equilibrium of the star was shattered.
And then came the supernova!
The star's demise was not silent, nor was it subtle. It erupted in an explosion of light, gamma radiation, and cosmic particles that bathed the universe in a brilliant glow!
It was a death throe of a star, an epitaph written in pure energy.
The cosmos reeled from the force of the Cosmic Rift, space-time shuddering as the echo of the star's death resonated through the universe.
Amidst this colossal display of power, Felix stood with a frozen expression.
His gaze was steady, his grip on the celestial axe unwavering, but his heart was about to leap out of his chest from sheer shock.
Humm...
The divine axe hummed one last time before going silent, seemingly telling Felix and everyone that it wasn't to be trifled with.
"Holy sh*t! Holy sh*t! Is this real life?!" Bodidi exclaimed loudly in disbelief.
Shivers were coursing down his spine at the cries of space after being brutally cut down like this.
"My god...Can even primogenitors cause such damage?" Candace stated while covering her mouth, feeling as agitated as Bodidi.
No one bothered to answer her as everyone else was just as taken back.
It wasn't because of the damage as there were many primogenitors capable of destroying stars, but by the notion it was done, using a divine weapon!
"Elder Cyclope really wasn't joking around when he said that it deserves an entirely new grade for it." Thor proclaimed.
"He sure as hell wasn't." Jörmungandr added with a satisfied smile.
"Felix, you better get out of there." Lady Sphinx warned.
"Yes!"
Felix broke out of his daze at last and swiftly entered the void realm after minimizing his size.
He knew that Lady Sphinx warned him not because of the supernova's incoming explosion force, but because of the cosmic radiation.
He could take on the force with his destruction immunity, but the cosmic radiation would do him great damage when exposed to such a heavy and potent quantity at once.
In a few minutes at best, Felix emerged in a different solar system.
The moment he got out of the void rift, he entered his spaceship and beamed the divine axe in his hands, staring at it with an awed look.
Elder Cyclope appeared next to him from a dimensional portal with Bodidi behind him.
"You better not think this is the normal cosmic rift attack. The only reason the attack reached such destructiveness was due to the amplification/empowering skills being fueled by a massive quantity of lifeforce." He said. "In reality, the normal cosmic rift attack can slice space apart for a hundred thousand kilometers or less using all of its stored elemental energy."
"I know, but it still feels amazing to know that it can reach such heights." Felix said with a wide grin as he caressed the divine axe's handle.
The divine axe seemed to enjoy his touch like they weren't trying to get each other killed just a few moments ago.
"I guess it accepted you after all." Asna mused. "Didn't think you will make it happen so quickly."
"For such a prideful divine weapon, it either respects and accept you from the start or it will always look down on you." Thor smiled, "Felix had earned its respect by not caving in even in the face of death."
Losing life force was manageable for anyone with longevity, but to lose it so fast it could cause one's death, was a different challenge on its own.
Even when Felix looked like a corpse and seemed to be moments away from a meeting with the grim reaper, he fought on.
The divine axe recognized his indomitable will more than anything!
"I think you have earned the right to name it now." Asna narrowed her eyes at him, "You better not be thinking of a stupid name again."
She still dreaded his garbage naming sense to this day after he named the sand guardians.
"Don't worry, I already know what to name it." Felix smirked, as his mind replayed the last scene of him and the axe breaking the cosmos apart.
"From this day onward, you shall be called, The CosmosBreaker." Felix proclaimed with a proud look, not seeing Asna and most of the tenants rolling their eyes at him.
Alas, no matter what they feel about the name, Felix had no plans to change it.
"Now, let's introduce you to my beloved 'friends', the darkins." Felix's smirk turned cold.
Chapter 1360: Imperfect Fix To an Unsolvable Problem.
Supremacy Games
"You should put a raincheck on that." Elder Cyclope said as he took the weapon from Felix. "I said it still needs some final touches before it's finished."
"Didn't those tests demonstrate its readiness?" Candace wondered.
"It's ready for fights, but it's not ready for it to be fully wielded by him." Elder Cyclope shared, addressing Felix.
"What do you mean?"
"The divine weapon is still vulnerable to destruction particles and since it's one of your main elements, it won't do you good to have a weapon that could be destroyed the moment it was touched by a destruction particle." Elder Cyclope explained.
Felix raised an eyebrow in surprise.
He already knew that there would be some inconvenience in using the weapon side by side with his destruction abilities, but he was prepared to make sure that both of them wouldn't touch each other.
Now, he was being told that there was an actual way to protect the weapon from it. He really found it somewhat unimaginable.
"How is it even possible to make an object immune to destruction element?" Candace asked what was on his mind.
"It's not."
Elder Cyclope left them baffled with his answer.
"So..."
"Let me finish." Elder Cyclope paused, "It might be impossible to make a material immune to destruction element, but it is more than doable to give it a peak resistance to destruction particles through a divine inscription."
Before they could ask about the difference, he continued on, "Peak resistance to destruction particles implied that any physical destruction ability will deal the least amount of damage to it. With the divine weapon's powerful self-repairing skill, the damage won't reach a breaking point."
"Though, this affects only physical destruction abilities. If you used concept destruction to mark its material or totality collapse on it, it will be erased as well."
"I might have gone all out to create the greatest divine weapon, but there are some realities in life that can't be changed." Elder Cyclope concluded with a deep sigh.
It was obvious that he really wanted to create an indestructible weapon capable of surviving totality collapse or even void domain, but no matter how good his craft was, he was still using materials subjected to the same laws and rules of the universe.
If even space/time collapsed before total destruction, there was no other material capable of surviving it...At least, not known.
Still, Felix didn't seem too upset about this.
While it might seem bad to have a weapon prone to destruction through void domain and totality collapse, he was already using an ingenious method to protect his items from those abilities.
He had used it before on his AP bracelet when he utilized totality collapse against Lucifer.
It was through the use of Lord Loki's mutation, shapeshifting!
He made small changes to his skin around the AP bracelet to include it inside, making it seem like it was melded with his skin!
Anything melded under Felix's skin receives the protection of his destruction immunity.
This meant that he could easily beam his CosmosBreaker into his spatial ring with the rest of his at-risk objects like the sun disk and then fuse it under his skin for protection.
So, if the CosmosBreaker ended up destroyed even after all of this, he had no one to blame but himself.
"This is already more than I ever asked for." Felix bowed his head in gratitude. "Much appreciated elder, you really are the greatest forger of all times."
"I did for myself more than I did it for you." Elder Cyclope said with a nostalgic look, "Just make sure to use it against the darkins, it sure will feel nice to see my divine pieces of equipment in action again."
"You don't have to worry about that." Felix smiled coldly, "I won't fight them without it."
...
Sometime later...
Candace and Bodidi had taken their leave while Felix decided to hang around inside Elder Cyclope's forge.
He was told that the final divine inscriptions would take Elder Cyclope a year or less to finish. Then, he would be free to test everything about the weapon and even take it with him if he was confident in Elder Cyclope's craft.
"Since we will be heading towards the seven demon realms after the divine weapon's completion, I suggest we meet with your student in the forge." Fenrir proposed to Lady Sphinx.
"I thought so as well." Lady Sphinx nodded.
"Master, since you are coming here, how about we carry on with the void immunity replacement?" Felix mentioned, "I think it's time we go for it."
"Are you sure?" Lady Sphinx asked for confirmation with a solemn tone. "Once your void immunity is gone, you will be introduced into a whole world of pain when affected with void energy."
"I can't pass on the void domain. It's a sacrifice worth taking." Felix confirmed it.
"Alright then."
The only reason Felix was willing to take such a risk was that he owned a void suit, which provided him with void immunity.
If he didn't possess it, he wouldn't dare go for it.
...
The next morning...
Felix could be seen sitting on an uncomfortable metallic chair with an attentive expression. His mesmerizing artic blue eyes were affixed on Elder Cyclope.
Thud! Thud!...
The Elder's hand moved methodically, almost reverently, each motion precise and deliberate. Sparks of astral power source swirled from his fingers, weaving themselves into divine words, symbols of power that thrummed with the heartbeat of the universe itself.
They etched themselves onto the surface of the axe, each glyph a testament to cosmic authority.
The words, radiant and sacred, began to shine brighter each time he finished them.
Felix watched in awe-struck silence, the enormity of the moment not lost on him. He did not even dare to breathe out loud to not break Elder Cyclope's focus.
'The three celestial languages, It's so fascinating how they can shape the elemental energy, yet we can't even see them.' He said, his gaze lingering on the spectacle before him, tracing the movement of the Elder and the arcane inscription that came alive under his touch.
Felix was told that the universe was made out of three things...Atoms, Laws, and neutral energy.
While laws and atoms were somewhat the same as they signify the rules of the universe, the neutral power source was the unique aspect of the universe.
Its ability to become any elemental energy, which allowed one to recreate the same environments as with laws, made it seem like it was made for the creatures.
'I always feel like neutral energy existence does not add anything to the survivability of the universe.' Felix wondered, 'What's the point of giving birth to energy that doesn't add anything but chaos?'
Based on Felix's understanding, the universe never creates something unless it was a good reason.
In the case of neutral energy? The universe would be the same with or without it...After all, the only ones using it were the creations, and the universe did not seem to give a shit about the parasites on its body.
'What are you trying to say?' Candace played along with him.
'I do not know, I am just speaking my mind.' Felix dropped the subject as he was not too interested in conspiracy theories.
Unbeknownst to him, most of the tenants did not think of it as a conspiracy theory in the slightest...
'Do you think it's possible for me to get my hands on divine codex too?' Felix changed the subject by asking his masters. 'I already have universal and runic codex in me, it sure will be one of a kind to have all three simultaneously.'
Chapter 1361: The Cogs Are Turning at Last...
Supremacy Games
In the entire universe, no one possessed three celestial languages.
While Felix didn't really know how to make the best of divine language without investing a lot of his time in forgery, he felt that something unique was bound to happen if all three languages were in one body.
'There is a method, but it is doubtful if it will work.' Lady Sphinx shared.
'For real?' Felix was left stunned.
He didn't expect the answer to be positive in the slightest.
"Just like what we did with Runic seed, you can replace one of your remaining dormant kraken's hearts with a dwarven heart. With proper surgery, a portion of the divine codex will be written on your cells as well. But, it won't be as good as having the real thing."
"I see..." Felix nodded in understanding.
The difference was the same as having limited manipulation and perfect manipulation.
In the case of Noah, Olivia, and the others, they possessed a very limited portion of the universal codex in their DNA.
Meanwhile, Felix might not have the whole universal codex, but he did have the entire portion responsible for his elements.
To have the entire universal codex written on him meant that he needed to possess perfect manipulation of all elements, which was simply impossible.
Though, he did possess the entire runic codex on his system, which was the reason he was capable of using spells of all elements as long as he possessed runic familiarity with them.
In this issue, the same applied to the divine codex...Only this time, he would be considered as having access to a dwarf instead of Elder Cyclope.
'I will pass.' Felix waved his hand. 'If I am going to be wasting an entire heart, it should be on nothing other than the real divine codex.'
'That's a smart decision, those two remaining dormant hearts must not be wasted.' Asna supported.
Felix had seven hearts and the other five were his source of potential and future. If he wanted to keep his progress rolling, he must choose wisely on the next two hearts.
Though, the stronger he got, the fewer his choices would become...
One Year Later...
Felix, Lady Sphinx, Fenrir, Candace, and Bodidi had departed from the forge a few days ago after Felix was given the CosmosBreaker.
Elder Cyclope came through with his word and finished his last touches in a year. Felix had tested the new peak destruction resistance inscriptions and was pleasantly satisfied.
With a divine weapon at hand, two elemental domains, four ultimate abilities, and a deity level, Felix embarked on his journey toward the seven demon realms.
He found out that he could even channel destruction abilities through the axe and amplify their damages as long as he did not do it frequently before the axe's self-repair finished.
In addition, Lady Sphinx succeded in replacing his void immunity with void domain, finally returning one of his greatest abilities to its rightful place!
With a divine weapon at hand, two elemental domains, four ultimate abilities, and a deity level, Felix embarked on his journey toward the seven demon realms.
Obviously, he didn't do this without a plan in mind.
"The wormhole express has been opened! We await orders!" Commander Orion informed with a stern tone.
Commander Orion, the venerable centaur at the helm of the SGAlliance's troops, stood as a proud embodiment of seasoned might and wisdom. His upper body, distinctly humanoid, bears the weathered lines of countless battles, muscles honed by a lifetime in the line of duty.
He was chosen as the next in line to command the next round of the seven demon realms conquest after the honorable death of commander Nethrael.
"Go all in." Queen Alfreda permitted, her eyes colder than the summit of the tallest mountain.
What lay before her and the remaining inner circle leaders was a holographic screen, showing the horrors done to all the remaining races left in the seven demon realms.
When tens of millions of demons retreated at once back to their realms without leaders to keep them in leaches, they went full feasting mode on their farms...
The people who thought themselves to be untouched because of their importance to the demons' continuity, found out the harsh truth.
As much as the SGAlliance wanted to help them, their territories were all in jumbles and they had to pour all of their resources to recover them from the demons.
"It's time to end what we have started." Empress Scarlet commentated, her eyes as murderous as ever.
She was always carefree and gentle, not raising her voice even by an octave...But, after the demons threatened her hive's survivability, she was forced to activate her bloodthirsty mode.
"Where is King Maxwell? Is he going to sit this out because of the darkins?" Ruler Hogan inquired suddenly after seeing that Felix was nowhere to be seen even after an hour went by in the assembly.
"He isn't sitting anything out." Queen Allura shared calmly, "Just focus on our conquest."
"Alright..."
Now that Felix became a deity and was considered a primogenitor in the eyes of the mortals, even the inner circle leaders refused to antagonize him in any shape or form.
They literally wouldn't dare stand up against him as they knew that he could get them killed and not even their ancestors could save them.
This was the true meaning of becoming at the highest point of the food chain.
...
On the other side of the universe, deep within Tartarus' realm, the darkins were sitting in a circle inside a cozy house on a deserted planet.
"The troops have finally entered Tartarus realm, It's time." Wendigo said calmly while standing up.
His partners followed suit, their hardened expressions speaking volumes about the seriousness of their situation.
"We will have only one chance to assassinate him from a distance, whether we fail or succeed, we will retreat and try again on another time." Wendigo stated, not caring about how cowardly their plan sounded.
It was understandable as in their eyes, they would be fighting five primogenitors'. They weren't stupid to commit fully to a losing engagement like this.
"Is he in yet?" Saurous asked as he eyed Manananggal.
"Not yet." Manananggal replied, his hand holding a replica of Felix's blood drop.
It was easy to know whether Felix was in the seven demon realms or not, as the blood would have reacted the moment he was in the same galaxy as it.
"Even better, let's get going."
Without an ounce of hesitation, the three darkins embarked on their spaceship and took off into the distance, heading towards none other than the SGAlliance's troops.
In this battle, they planned on playing as dirty as possible even if it meant antagonizing other primogenitors in the process.
Unbeknownst to them, they weren't the only ones after Felix...
Whoosh!!
As the echo of the departing spaceship's roar dissipated into silence, the air around the small house began to curdle, thickening with a palpable malevolence.
Suddenly, the crimson cloud swelled, condensing into a nebulous cloud of noxious energy that was sinister as it was mesmerizing.
Amidst the swirling vortex, a figure started to take shape. It was Lucifer, materializing from the raw, undiluted evil.
His form was a silhouette at first, a mere shadowy outline within the miasma, but soon, his ghastly figure was fully revealed. Crimson eyes, burning with an unholy fire, emerged first, piercing the darkness.
His imposing form, exuding an aura of dangerous allure, was clad in a regal, obsidian-hued robe, the reflection of the stars twinkling ominously on its surface.
With a sardonic smile that could chill the marrow, he lifted his head and stared at the disappearing spaceship.
"You always wanted me to fight my destined other half in the seven demon realms to interrupt our holy reunion." He smiled coldly, "Do not mind me doing the same."
After his latest defeat under Felix's hands, Lucifer had no intentions of letting his pride get in his way.
If this meant taking advantage of the darkins' assassination to merge with Felix at his weakest, so be it!
Whoosh!
With a wave of a hand, Lucifer disappeared yet again...As the consciousness of the sinister energy, he could be anywhere and everywhere, as long a portion of evil power source was there.
Now that he knew of their destination, he went there ahead of them and waited for his precious moment.
Unbeknownst to him as well, Felix might not know the details of the darkins' assassination attempt, but he learned that it involved the SGAlliance's troops from Lord Loki.
This meant all three parties were going to be at the same location.
The cogs were finally turning on this historical fight and only one party was going to emerge victorious...Would it be a human, a demon elemental, or primogenitors?
Chapter 1362: The Fall Of Tartarus Realm
Supremacy Games
A few days later...
Prince Beelzebub sat atop the tallest spire of his once-impregnable fortress, watching as the horizon filled with the armada of the SGAlliance troops.
Their vessels blotted out the stars, a shadowy shroud encapsulating his beleaguered capital. He could feel the vibration of their engines, the energy blasts echoing in the distance, growing closer and louder. "It's finally happening...Ah."
The once proud and sinister demon prince was new signing his sorrows away with a bottle of alcohol in his hand.
His heart pounded in his chest, not with fear but acceptance...His survival instincts had taken over his pride, making him understand that standing up for his territory signified signing his death contract.
He knew full well that Felix might appear at any moment, materializing out of thin air like some wraith, and Beelzebub had no illusions about the outcome of such an encounter.
The ending of the demon king Lucifer was staying rent- free in his mind...
"This city..." he murmured to himself, his eyes scanning the sprawling metropolis one last time.
Each soaring tower, each winding street, and each trembling soul residing within was a testament to his reign.
His fingers grazed the cold stone of the parapet, absorbing the final moments of the world he had so meticulously crafted.
Faint cries of demons began to rise as the first wave of SGAlliance troops touched down on the outskirts of the city.
Lights flashed on the horizon, the symphony of an impending battle starting its haunting crescendo. With a last sigh, he turned from the panorama of his soon—to—be-fallen capital, his crimson eyes gleaming in the flickering light.
"Farewell," he whispered into the icy wind, an unheard goodbye lost amidst the chaos.
He raised his hand, energy swirling at his fingertips, ready to cast himself into the darkness, far away from this place, far away from the relentless pursuit of the greatest demon hunter.
A final glance back, and Beelzebub disappeared into the shadows, prioritizing his survival over his empire.
His figure faded away just as the first explosions tore through the sky, casting his abandoned capital in a harsh, violent light.
His reign was over, but he was alive, lost in the boundless obscurity of the universe...
Unbeknownst to him, Felix never had any plans of hunting him down as it would compromise his more important mission, slaying the darkins.
"You were right, he really didn't show up to protect his capital.' Candace shared.
'Only a selfless hero or an idiot would risk his own life for the sake of a piece of land.' Felix replied calmly, not surprised by the smooth invasion of Beelzebub's capital.
'I guess the other princes will also do the same.' Candace said with a displeased tone, 'On one hand, I am happy with this outcome, but on the other, I really want those f*ckers dead and gone for good.' 'Likewise, but we can't have them both.' Felix said. 'We have more important stuff to do than waste our time on such weaklings.'
The only thing that bothered Felix was the notion that the demon princes would always be around, like an unkillable germ.
Though. the good news was that none of them need purities to keep their rationality intact as the only reason they hunted for purities was to feed their armies and boost their strength.
This implied that if they were truly smart about remaining hidden, they wouldn't dare hunt for purities inside the SGAlliance's territories.
'Elder, any signs of the darkins?' Felix asked Lord Loki who was playing cards with the remaining free tenants from this mission.
'Nothing yet.' Lord Loki waved his hand in annoyance, 'Stop bothering me, I will tell you when their location is readable.'
'Alright.'
Right now, Felix and his masters were staying in the void realm with Nimo's help and Felix was quite antsy about it.
Since Candace couldn't resist The Paragon of Sins' uncontrollable pressure, they had to rely on Nimo to transform into an aircraft and stay inside of him.
it was quite easy for hint and he found it fun to do.
Though, Felix really wasn't too thrilled with the idea and he even didn't want to do it at the beginning. It was understandable as the moment he knew that the Paragon of Sins must be awake, he feared for Nimo's life.
If it wasn't for the Paragon not making a move on Nimo even after Lucifer found out about him, Felix wouldn't have been this daring.
After great efforts and commendable teamwork from the SGAlliance's troops, Beelzebub's demon realm, Tartarus, was officially conquered!
In the heart of the ravaged capital, amidst the ruins and the lingering smoky remnants of war, a miraculous spectacle began to unfold.
The World Tree, a monument to the SGAlliance's successful conquest, stood tall, breaking through the scarred skyline.
It reached towards the heavens, its vast branches spread wide and covered in myriad shades of green, glistening under the twilight of Tartarus realm!
The demons in the capital had their demonization reversed, making them seem like they had woken up from an eternal nightmare.
Since most of those demons belonged originally to the seven demon realms, the SGAlliance was introduced to new races and ancient civilizations.
While the SGAlliance's citizens were celebrating their victory at last, the inner circle leaders had no intentions of doing the same.
They left some of their troops to deal with the survivors and planned on taking off toward the next demon realm.
But Felix had to stop this from happening as he knew that it would ruin his plan.
Fortunately, he didn't need to explain himself anymore as the moment he ordered the troops to stay put for a couple more days, no one dared to object and cause a scene over nothing.
...
The Next Morning...
'I have a signal, their spaceship has stopped at these coordinates, you better move quickly if you want to catch them.' Lord Loki said while sharing the darkins' coordinates with Felix.
He couldn't do this before because it was impossible to track them in light—speed mode.
'Much appreciated.'
Without a split second wasted, Felix guided Nimo in the right direction, knowing that he couldn't understand it as well as Candace.
"They have stopped merely ten thousand kilometers away from Beelzebub's capital. They really are planning to hold the SGAlliance's troops as a hostage to draw you out.' Asna commentated with a cold tone.
'I expected nothing less front them.' Felix wasn't surprised one bit.
He already figured out that the darkins were bound to play dirty and use either people close to hint or responsible for, to get him killed.
The only reason they hadn't used this strategy before was that Felix hadn't made them feel threatened to throw their pride and dignity this openly...Also, deep down they must have felt that Felix would never throw his life away for other people as they couldn't fathom doing the same.
This thought process had shifted drastically the moment they had blown out Felix's home planet, killing his family in the process.
'Since they plan on killing me from a distance, this means one of them will be split from the pack.' Felix smiled coldly, 'l have a feeling it will be Manananggal.'
Whether they leave two to handle the hostages or one, they were bound to separate front each to pull off their plan.
Manananggal had the highest chance of being the gun holder due to his element. Wendigo couldn't assassinate Felix from a distance with his ultimate ability since it required close eye contact. Meanwhile, Saurous' gravity abilities were too obvious, and take some time for the real damage to start kicking in.
Only Manananggal was capable of assassinating Felix from tens of thousands of kilometers if not more with a mere glance, using Felix's own blood against him.
As expected, after less than a few seconds, Felix and his masters arrived at the darkins' location and found them on the verge of splitting up.
Gazing upon the darkins for the first time ever since the destruction of his home, Felix was consumed by an incandescent rage, a tempest of hatred and grief that seethed within his chest...
It was fueled by the sight of his home planet's ashes and the three monsters that had reduced it to absolute ruins.
The sight of his grandfather's innocent death.
The sight of his family, friends, and subordinates unjustly passing.
No one had any interaction with the darkins or even knew about their existence...Yet, they were killed in cold blood under their hands and it was all because of a conflict they knew nothing about...
While Felix had accepted his reality and the death of his loved ones, the sight of darkins' three evil auras right before him, made it hard for those wounds to not open up again.
'Felix, keep it in. You will expose us if they ended up picking your murderous intentions.' Fenrir advised calmly, 'Emotions have no place in such decisive battles.'
'I know, I know that.' Felix replied, his voice as calm as the ocean under a clear sky.
Felix had gone through so much to let himself get ruined by his own emotions.
So, he sealed everything back inside his heart and kept his mind straight on one thing only...Killing Manananggal.
'You be safe, alright?' Lady Sphinx warned, 'Don't get overconfident or try to prolong the battle to appease your hatred and anger. We won't be able to hold them for more than a second if they wanted to escape.'
'Don't worry, it will be quick for us, but not for hint.' Felix replied with an icy tone.
Felix had already prepared the most sinister way to kill Manananggal, and nothing was going to stop him from not using it!
Chapter 1363: Your Personal Hell
Supremacy Games
'Make sure to put everyone in your darltness field. So, not even his masters could save those pests if they wanted.' Saurous said, smiling coldly as he was seen traveling with a massive cloud of darkness.
'No need to tell me what to do.' Wendigo replied. 'No one will leave my presence unless I say so.'
In a few moments at best, the darkins were already close to the capital's atmosphere and most of the SGAlliance's fleets were seen grouped up around the Mothershop for protection.
'Mauananggal, are you in position?' Wendigo asked.
'Almost.l Manananggal replied.
He was seen speeding into the darkness, seemingly trying to put more distance from the SGAlliance's troops, but at the same time, keep them in his range.
Sometime later, Mananauggal stopped and said in his mind, 'This should be enough.'
He was indeed in the perfect position as everything was in his line of sight and with a simple zooming technique, he was able to see past hundred of thousands of kilometers with pinpoint accuracy.
He might not possess truth vision, but he was easily able to zoom in and out as it was a basic technique all primogenitors have mastered.
Only Lady Sphinx had taken mastering her eyes to the next level.
Suddenly, Manananggal beamed a massive divine crimson cannon.
It was enrobed in an ethereal aura, the cannon resonates with an age-old energy that seemed to pulsate with the beat of a heart, casting a hypnotic, blood—red luminescence that danced around it like a living flame!
It resembled an oversized human heart in design, an intricate network of grooves etched deep into its surface, mirroring the vascular system's complex arrangement.
This was Manananggal's most powerful weapon and partner who went through many battles together. It was called...
'Lifeblood Loom...l-iow l have missed you.' Manananggal displayed a faint gentle smile as he caressed the cannon's barrel.
The cannon seemed to have responded to his touch as it shimmered for a split second before turning dark again.
The last time this weapon was against Fenrir was when the three darltins ganged up on him and forced him to seal himself in a world of untouchable ice.
'I really didn't expect that the next time I will be using you, it will be for a puny hurnam...Yet, here we are.'
Manananggal muttered as he lifted the crimson cannon above his shoulder and aimed it in the direction of the SGAlliance's troops.
The moment Manananggal was in a perfect position, he tried to inform his partners.
'I am rea...'
Alas, before he could finish his sentence, a sudden powerful spatial disruption occurred around him!
The very fabric of reality twisted and shrieked around him, gravity distorted, space—time ruptured, as the universe started to implode before Manananggal's own eyes!
'Brat!'
Just as the collapsing reality was about to engulf Manananggal, a surge of power pulsed through his form.
In a flash of crimson brilliance, Manananggal transmitted into a swirling cloud of sanguine mist.
The rush of the transformation was instantaneous and much faster than the collapsing reality around him!
In a swift manner, he was propelled out of the immediate danger zone.
Still, the cloud of blood darted through the cosmos until he put a safe distance from the falling reality." ' 'As expected, they sure are slippery.'
Felix sneered as he emerged from the belly of nothingness, seemingly unaffected that his ambush attempt had failed.
His eyes narrowed as he traced the trajectory of the swirling blood cloud.
'You ain't going anywhere.'
Bathed in the cosmic darkness, Felix paused for a fraction of an instant, his gaze locked onto the distant crimson mist of the Manananggal.
Felix inhaled deeply, feeling the neutral energy surge through his being. His body started to glow with a faint bluish hue, the first sparks of energy playing around his fingertips.
His form quivered like a mirage as be concentrated, the flickers of lightning growing more intense and vivid.
In less than a millisecond, his body dissolved into a radiant bolt of pure lightning!
The transformation was striking, a blinding arc of electric power against the darkness of space.
For a moment, Felix was no longer a physical entity but an embodiment of raw energy and absolute speed!
As a lightning bolt, he moved at a speed almost incomprehensible, a flash that ripped through the cosmos with a silent thunder.
The space between Felix and the Manananggal ceased to exist in less than a heartbeat.
One moment he was there, and in the next, he had already reached the cloud of blood.
His arrival was marked by a brilliant streak of blue, his form flickering back to that of a man, now standing before the crimson specter.
immediately after, Felix drew his weapon, the fabled Cosmosbreaker!
'Concept Erasure Palms!'
With a thought, a surge of destruction particles flooded into the axe's blade, igniting it with a brilliant crimson hue!
He had channeled concept erasure palm through it while making sure he marked only blood elemental particles!
Then with a swift, fierce move, he. swung it towards Manananggal.
"Die!"
The blade cut through the space with a furious velocity, leaving a trail of glowing crimson in its wake! The cosmic silence was pierced by the shrill cry of the blade as it ripped through the vacuum, aimed with deadly accuracy at the blood cloud!
'Useless move.'
Manananggal scoffed, not having an ounce of fear at the sight of the Cosmosbreaker moving closer and closer.
'Split...Volume Expansion.'
He used two abilities simultaneously, causing the blood cloud to split into two parts and for one part to explode in volume until it engulfed Felix with his weapon!
The Cosmosbreaker did its job and erased the blood particles in its area, but there was too much of it to destroy altogether.
Manananggal didn't waste the opportunity of having Felix be inside his own blood particles.
'Blood Coffin!'
He morphed the swirling cloud of crimson mist into a colossal coffin of congealed blood, entrapping Felix within its pulsating, sanguine confines.
As Felix languished in the sanguine prison, Mananangal prepared to unleash his lethal finale...
With a thought, be invoked the 'Blood lmplosion'.
An insidious grin spread across his face as the blood coffin began to pulsate, its rhythm growing frenetic, echoing the silent countdown to Felix's doom!
The final note played. the coffin contracted violently and exploded outward.
The force of the implosion was terrifying, fuming Felix's body into a brilliant nebula of crimson!
Still, Manananggal's guard was at its peak as he knew that there was no way Felix could come for him on his own and end up dying this easily.
Manananggal's form manifested inside the blood cloud and he reached out with his senses to stttdy Felix's blood drops.
'A perfect match, this can't be faked and there is no way he has a clone this powerful.' As much as the results seemed in his favor, Manananggal wasn't easily trustful. '15 this really it? Did I just eliminate that unkillable cockroach?'
Manananggal found it too hard to believe but at the same time, there was not an ounce of fool play. Felix's blood was real, he recognized Elder Cyclope's work on the axe, and the abilities used in their swift battle couldn't be used by a clone.
It was as real as it could get.
Even then, Manananggal replayed the exact fight sequence in his mind and analyzed it to find out any irregularities.
'Our location and plan should have been known to only us, yet he still found out about most of the details.' Manananggal frowned, 'This means either my partners betrayed me or there is a third party involved.'
Manananggal didn't even consider the first option as he knew that his partners would never betray him for the Asgardians.
'Lord Loki... Theymust have gotten our information front him.' Manananggal reasoned, 'It's the only explanation.'
Lord Loki was the only third-party indirectly involved in their conflict 7.4/7, making him the biggest suspect.
'Why did he help them? Did he choose their side in this conflict? If he did, does that means be permitted the brat to use his bloodline? It can't be, the human bloodline path ends at seven bloodlines and he already reached its end.' Manananggal soon narrowed his eyes, 'But with Lady Sphinx's involvement, she can make it happen.'
In his eyes, Lady Sphinx had done too many miracles on Felix's body for him to question her capability to pull off another one.
This made him reach one final conclusion.
'Am I under an illusion?"
Crack Crack!
The moment this question popped into his mind, the sound of mirrors shattering resounded in his mind thunderously!
The eerie and silent universe seemed to have broken into little fragments before his vision was consumed by utter darkness.
When the light returned, Manananggal was left utterly stunned and frozen in place.
He found himself inside a throne chamber, that was nestled within an eerie grandeur castle.
The chamber was an opulent testimony to the ancient vampire lineage, a cold stone marvel built with original gothic aesthetics and bathed in an ominous palette of deep purples and onyx blacks.
High, vaulted ceilings loomed overhead, lost in shadow and hung with colossal chandeliers adorned with a thousand crystal prisms, which danced with spectral radiance in the dim, flickering candlelight. At the end of the room, on an elevated dais, sat the magnificent throne, forged from obsidian and embellished with blood—red rubies and silver filigree.
Reclining regally on the throne was a figure of deathly allure. Her skin was as pale as moonlight, eyes gleaming with an ethereal crimson glow that bespoke ancient power.
Her raven—black hair cascaded down her shoulders, contrasting against the intricate ruby—studded black gown that citing to her form.
A pair of onyx bat wings were folded neatly behind her, matching the dark aura that enveloped her.
She seemed pregnant as her belly was slightly bigger even under her heavy clothes.
To her sides, an array of princes lounged, a constellation of dark stars orbiting their radiant queen. Each prince was unique in his countenance, some with long, flowing hair, others with sharp, handsome features, but all bore the same intense eyes reflecting the bloodlust of Manananggal's lineage.
"Welcome back, dear." The Queen Vampire smiled gently, leaving Manananggal staring at her udth mixed emotions.
"Omarini..." He muttered her name, his heart was as heavy as a boulder while his mind was being assaulted by sealed memories of their precious life together.
"Do you miss her?"
Abruptly, Felix's voice resounded across the throne chamber, causing Mauananggal's expression to turn murderous immediately.
"Boy, if you are thinking what I am thinking, I can assure you that your death won't be gentle in the slightest." He threatened.
"I am not going to do anything." Felix manifested next to the queen and uttered with the most sinister smile as he rubbed her belly, "You will be doing the deed all on your own."
"Welcome to your personal hell."
Chapter 1364: Gravity Vs Ice Sand Vs Darkness
Supremacy Games
In the vast expanse of cosmic space, an anomaly rippled through the void. A figure emerged from the oscillating warp, an entity of immense power and darkness, sending a silent shiver down the spine of the universe.
It was Lucifer, his form radiating an aura of dark majesty, his crimson eyes exuding distress and anger.
'Where did they go?!'
He yelled in his mind as he watched the fading trail of crimson mist, the last vestiges of a powerful blood ability, and the slight disturbances in the fabric of space, evidence of a space-altering technique.
Because his existence was related to evil energy and there was no way Felix and Manananggal wouldn't detect it randomly in outer space, he kept a significant distance between the two.
Still, he had a front—seat view of the entire short battle.
He saw how Felix used totality collapse and chased down Manananggal's blood cloud as a lightning bolt- However, to his surprise, the moment Felix arrived near Mananauggal, none of them made a move for an entire second after Felix waved his hand.
Then, there was no then!
Felix snapped his finger and both of them disappeared, leaving him stunned and agitated.
Now that he saw the spatial disruption, he knew that Felix had teleported both of them to another location.
'They must have not gone far. I have to find them before their battle ends!'
Without an ounce of hesitation, Lucifer broke into a cloud of evil energy again and took off, seeking their location at all costs.
After watching Felix's swift battle with Manananggal, he understood that his chances to defeat his other half were getting slimmer and slimmer.
Felix becoming a deity was like giving a tiger wings, all of his overpowered abilities could finally be used to their peak potential!
While Lucifer was hunting for them like a madman, he had no idea that Felix had teleported Manananggal to a small pocket dimension of his creation!
It was by using a newly mastered greater spatial spell called, Dimensional Platform.
It was a small platform in a separate dimension, but that's all Felix needed to cast his illusion domain and enlarge it into his own desire!
In this instant, he created Manananaggal's previous castle and trapped him in it.
...
A few moments before Felix and Manananggal's battle, Saurous, and Wendigo were seen waiting patiently for their partner's signal near the SGAlliance's troops.
Not a single spaceship had picked up their existence as Wendigo was using a darkness ability capable of hiding them completely from any detection ability.
Alas, they were against the all-seeing eyes of Lady Sphinx.
While they assumed that no one could see them, they appeared as clear as crystal in Lady Sphinx's mesmerizing eyes.
'lt's time.' Lady Sphinx said calmly while creating a tiny sand sword the size of close to an atom.
'I am ready.' Fenrir replied expressionlessly.
'Nimo, now.'
Without warning, Lady Sphinx and Fenrir sprang into action, bursting from the void like celestial wraiths, they descended upon Saurous and Wendigo with the fury of cosmic storms!!!
The surprise was total, the ambush was perfectly executed!
'Careful!'
'Sh*t'
The unsuspecting duo was caught in a pincer attack ofan ice storm of absolute zero, each particle glowing eerily in the starlight, and Lady Sphinx's golden sandstorm!
The storms covered hundreds of kilometers in an instant and could have engulfed even more space if it wasn't for the SGAlliance's troops being nearby!
While the ambush was utter perfection and they had been caught off guard, Saurous and Wendigo still reacted with uncanny synchronization.
'DARKNESS RELOCATION!'
Amidst the chaos, Wendigo activated Darkness Relocation, causing his form to disintegrate into a nebulous cloud of absolute darkness.
In a blink, he vanished from the battleground, appearing instantly in another part of the cosmos where darkness was dominant before either storm could touch him!
Simultaneously, Saurous tapped into his own most powerful ability, 'BLACKHOLE MANIFESTATION!' Around him, the fabric of reality began to ripple and distort, space-time warping into a vortex of inescapable gravitational pull!
Darkness bloomed around him, swallowing him whole, a monstrous maw against the icy onslaught! The black hole acted as a counterbalance, its gravitational pull pushing against the chill of Absolute Zero, nullifying its effects!
The space around him twisted, stretched, and distorted into an abyss so deep, it swallowed all light and heat, leaving only darkness in its wake!
Knowing that their bodies would be devoured and crashed, Lady Sphinx and Fenrir had already used countermeasures to resist the insane gravitational pull!
Meanwhile, Saurous on his own accord dove deeper into the black hole, where neither time nor space existed!
This was his sanctuary, a refuge only he could survive in from anything and anyone.
Wendigo didn't hesitate to bail on him, so he could allow him to use his ultimate ability to survive the ambush.
RUMBLE RUMBLE!!!...
Unfortunately, his ultimate ability didn't have an effect only on himself and his assailants, but on everything in the solar system.
The sudden emergence of the black hole set off a catastrophic chain reaction across the solar system. Planets swayed in their orbits, disrupted by the black hole's powerful gravitational pull.
The Sun, the magnificent star at the heart of the solar system, flickered as if in protest, its radiance wavering under the black hole's influence.
Meteors strayed from their paths, the asteroid belt became a whirl of chaotic motion, and the planets themselves shuddered, their natural courses disrupted by the titanic gravitational force!
Arrghh!!! AAAAAAAAAUH!!!! UGGG!!!!!
Amidst this astronomical chaos, the fleets of the SGAlliance felt the brunt of the escalating crisis.
Strips began to veer off course, pulled inexorably towards the black hole. Panic began to set itr as the fleet's commanders scrambled to counter the powerful gravitational force, but their efforts were in vain against such an immense cosmic. force!
'Fenrir!'
'On it!'
Without Lady Sphinx needing to say more, Fenrir stepped in, his form glowing with an icy light amidst the chaotic ballet of planets and stars.
In a display of raw power, Fenrir pushed out his absolute zero storm direction of the SGAlliance's fleet and the planet as a whole!
As the subzero wave expanded tremendously, the gravitational pull's effects were countered. Fleets of ships pulled off course just moments before, now froze in place, caught in a moment of absolute stillness...Even the planet, its erratic orbit paused.
'You have gone soft and you will pay for it.' Saurous scoffed as he watched his nemesis, turning his back on him to save the puny lives of mortals.
Although Saurous didn't plan for any of this to happen, he made sure to take advantage of it.
He brought his hands together from within the black hole and pulled them apart, akin to an orchestra conductor.
The moment he did so, the boundary of the event horizon seemed to fluctuate, to pulse as if it had become a sentient entity.
Suddenly, the darkness erupted, not with an explosion of light, but with an outpouring of pitch-black tongues, reaching out into the surrounding cosmos!!!
It was Saurous, manipulating the black hole's properties from within, bending it to his will!
Each tongue of darkness was an extension of Saurous himself, a manifestation of his power and control over the black hole.
They moved with an eerie grace toward Fenrir. Even when his back was facing the eerie tongues, he didn't seem fazed in the slightest.
He merely glanced at Lady Sphinx and uttered calmly, 'Go after Wendigo, I got this.'
'Alright.' Lady Sphinx didn't question his decision even a little. She turned around, eyes gleaming with an unnatural light akin to a predator.
Then, she broke off into a humanoid sand figure and reduced each sand grain of her body to atomic size, causing her entire body to become as small an atom!
Still, she didn't stop the size reduction until she reached the quantum universe, the lawless universe, where realities collide and realms clashed together!
In this entire universe, only Lady Sphinx was known to be capable of entering the quantum realm at her own desire due to her quantum vision and the uniqueness of her element.
As a sand elementalist, she was capable of controlling each physical grain individually, which meant, she could reduce the size of each one and still be able to control it through quantum vision.
Since one could easily get lost inside the quantum realm even if there was ten thousand times less than a millimeter between two objects entering at the same time, Lady Sphinx had to master the ability to control each grain individually and reduce them in size perfectly at the same time.
This was the only method to help her remain as one entity inside the quantum realm and only she could pull it off in this universe with those sorts of skills, talent, and dedication!
Now that she was here, the possibilities were infinite...But, Lady Sphinx had no plans to waste her time marveling at the beauty of the quantum universe.
She used her elemental sense and connected it with the tiny sword from before.
This tiny sword wasn't with her anymore as during the ambush, site had successfully attached it inside Wendigo's atom world before he disappeared into the darkness!
The ambush wasn't a total disaster as both of them knew that the darkins wouldn't get killed this easily.
So, she aimed to place a tracker on the slippiest one of them, knowing that Fenrir could handle Saurous on his own.
'Got you.'
Lady Sphinx's gleaming triangle pupils reflected a beacon of light in her eyes, which was none other than her tiny sword.
Without an ounce of hesitation, she took a step forward with her eyes closed shut and then she disappeared.
When she reappeared again. she was already holding the sand sword, which wasn't so tiny anymore.
One could only imagine what she planned on doing in such a critical location!
Chapter 1365: Successful Retreat!
Supremacy Games
1365 Successful Retreat!
I have only a few seconds before my form dissolves on its own.
Lady Sphinx knew that time wasn't in her favor due to her form being too difficult to maintain for prolonged periods.
After all, she had to control each grain of sand individually to keep them the same size and each movement made had to be completed simultaneously for all grains.
With a swift move, she began drawing on her power over sand. A sandstorm formed, a microscopic maelstrom swirling with cosmic grains!
Despite its size, the storm was a force of nature, able to erode and disrupt on an atomic level.
As Lady Sphinx released the sandstorm, it swept through Wendigo's atomic world, disturbing the delicate balance of his inner cosmos!
Each grain of sand was a tiny battering ram, clashing against the atoms, causing disruptions and chaos!
'Argh! What the...
As the sandstorm raged and expanded to a frightening size, Wendigo recoiled in shock and agony, a sensation, unlike any pain he had known before!
It was as if every atom in his body was under siege, screaming in unison, the disturbance radiating from his core to his extremities!
His form flickered, instability rippling through him as the sandstorm disrupted the atomic harmony within. His body convulsed, rejecting the invading force, as he struggled to maintain his physical integrity, knowing that the moment he gave in, his body would collapse on itself and he would drop dead!
Sphinx!! You b*tch!'
He recognized the source of the pain immediately as Manananggal had experienced it before against none other than Lady Sphinx in the primogenitors' era!
Since Lady Sphinx had already exposed this ability to the primogenitors, none of them was stupid enough to not prepare counter-measurements if they were ever put in the same scenario as Manananggal.
'Release!!'
With a burst of dark energy, Wendigo's form began to disintegrate, not in a destructive sense, but in a purposeful transformation!
His body began to split, a cloud of darkness erupting into thousands of smaller, independent parts. Each fragment was a miniature version of Wendigo, holding a portion of his essence and consciousness!
Like shadows given life, the thousands of mini-Wendigos scattered in all directions, knowing that when Lady Sphinx return to her original size, she would take advantage of his weakened state and eliminate him for good!
"Not this one, not this one, not this one...
At the same time, Wendigo was switching his focus rapidly from one portion of darkness to another in his elemental form, wanting to find a clean portion without any of Lady Sphinx's sand particles.
As he kept skipping from one to another, those portions of darkness suddenly turned golden in color before being transformed into sand particles, emphasizing the end of their conquest!
'Faster! Faster! faster!' Wendigo increased his switching speed as he was forced to have his main consciousness jump from one portion to another to avoid getting erased.
'Finally!'
Fortunately for him, he had acted extremely quickly and had planned countermeasures, which ended up rewarding him with a survival chance.
He quickly placed his main consciousness inside the clean portion of what remained of his body and without an ounce of hesitation, he used the same teleportation ability to put a significant distance from his assaulted location!
When he was gone, Lady Sphinx had her size increased until she reached her normal height...Then, she canceled her transmutation ability with an expressionless look.
'Wendigo has gotten away, but in a weakened state... Be right there. Lady Sphinx sent a telepathic message to Fenrir as she took off in his direction.
She was neither surprised nor disappointed that her attack had failed to kill Wendigo.
he already had pretty low expectations of it working out as she knew that the moment she had exposed her ability back in the day, it wasn't going to have a great effect on primogenitors unless they didn't bother to prepare a countermeasure.
Wendigo's situation was even more complicated since he was capable of switching between the ether and the physical, unlike most primogenitors.
While primogenitors use transmutation to switch into elemental form, Wendigo didn't require to do so as he reached a stage where his existence was darkness and darkness was him.
Unlike other darkness elementalists, he had taken it a step further in his manipulation and was capable of controlling both cosmic dark energy and dark matter. Whether it was dark energy or dark matter, both neither emitted light or any type of electromagnetic radiation that could be detected.
As the darkness primogenitor, he was capable of controlling all kinds of energies, matters, or concepts related to darkness in any shape or form!
This allowed him to be too overpowered in outer space as more than 68% of the universe was made up of dark energy while 27% was made out of dark matter!
In other words, it was near impossible to catch Wendigo in outer space or kill him as he could always merge his main consciousness with a new body manifested out of dark matter or dark energy unless his soul was eradicated before then!
...
On the other side...
'Both of them have escaped: Fenrir uttered with an icy tone as his eyes were affixed on the disappearing blackhole.
In a few moments, it broke into elemental particles and the disruption in the solar system was returned to normal at last.
Just like the fight with Lady Sphinx, they merely traded blows for a few seconds before Saurous decided to leave.
Clearly, he was informed by his partner to not prolong the fight and regroup with each other.
In their eyes, Manananggal's unresponsiveness only meant that he was ambushed just like them, and they were more agitated about this since neither Felix nor the rest of the Asgardians' had made their presence known.
'Felix has successfully kidnapped Manananggal.' Thor shared with a faint proud smirk, 'You guys don't want to miss the show.
'You can watch, I got this covered! Lady Sphinx nodded at Fenrir. 'You are just as deserving of seeing that filth get his punishment.'
'I will switch back in case they made a move again! Fenrir gave her a slight nod in appreciation and then switched his focus to his wisp of consciousness.
During primogenitors' battles, one needed 100% of focus to not end up getting screwed up.
This made it too risky to place one's main focus outside of the battle even when each wisp of consciousness was considered as an individual that could handle itself.
While Lady Sphinx and Fenrir had successfully foiled the darkins' hostage strategy, they understood the SGAlliance's troops were still in danger.
The moment those two realize that their partner was nowhere to be found and couldn't be contacted, they would attempt to use the hostages again to pressure them.
Fortunately, Felix had planned for this and ordered his clone in the UVR to order a mass retreat of the SGAlliance's troops the moment he succeeded in his kidnapping attempt.
Honestly, he didn't even need to do this.
"I don't want a single soul to stay near those monsters!" Queen Alfreda ordered with a solemn tone.
"Were they really trying to attack us?!" Emperor Lokhil said, his back sweating bullets.
Almost all inner circle leaders shared his reaction as
they had just watched their entire SGAlliance's super fleet almost end up getting consumed by a black hole. "This is outrageous! Don't they have any respect for our ancestors to assault us this blatantly?" Minister Aquaris huffed in displeasure. "I am reporting this to the ancestor."
"Likewise."
"Seconded"
"They really have gone too far."
Felix might be the alliance's leader, but he didn't own it. In their eyes, for the darkins to bring the alliance into their personal conflict warranted a punishment.
So, every inner circle leader with a primogenitor still active didn't hesitate to reach out to them and report on the darkins' transgression and show them the entire fight.
While the news did anger many of them, the excitement and intrigue of those two factions' conflict finally blowing up took over them!
"Sh*t, we missed most of it!" Erebus banged the table with a dissatisfied tone as he watched the replay of what happened with his peers in the assembly.
They really were bored out of their minds to react like this.
"I can't see either Manananggal or the rest of the Asgardians in the picture." Kumiho remarked in intrigue, "Do you think they have ambushed him as three?"
Must be." Elder Aspidochelone stated calmly, "In terms of pure strength and power, Manananggal can be considered as the weakest of most of us."
"But, it doesn't matter to be stronger than him if one can't kill him." Siren shook her head, "I would rather have targeted Saurous. Out of the darkins, he is the only one with a chance of getting eliminated if that boy used his ultimates right."
"True, even if Manananggal was killed, he can always automatically get revived with a new soul and a body from scratch, using a mere random drop of blood anywhere in the universe." Cherufe huffed in irritation, not a fan of such cockroachy ultimate.
"The Asgardians aren't that stupid. They also know about this and they still prioritized him over the others." Erebus narrowed his eyes. "I say, they must have figured out a method to kill him once and for good."
Chapter 1366: Your Personal Hell. II
Supremacy Games
1366 Your Personal Hell. II
"You think so?"
"That sounds impossible...Right?"
His peers found it difficult to believe as the notion of complete rebirth implied that there was literally nothing to kill Manananggal unless he was killed off every time he was reborn until every drop of his blood was erased from the universe!
This kind of certainty was the only thing keeping Wendigo and Saurous as calm as a summer sea in this difficult time.
"I can't find him anywhere not reach him." Saurous said with a suppressed tone. "He is either dead or taken to another dimension."
"As much as I hate to admit it, it does sound like his death is the most plausible reason. An ambush by two primogenitors and a deity with multiple ultimates isn't something easily evadable." Wendigo replied, his eyes two vortexes of pure chaotic darkness, reflecting his inner emotional state.
The moment those two escaped from Lady Sphinx and Fenrir, they reached out to their partner using Queen Ai as well as telepathically.
When both mediums failed, they even attempted to awaken his dormant wisp of consciousness inside their minds.
Alas, it didn't respond to their calls, which was another indication of Manananggal's main consciousness being either offline or too occupied to respond.
When they asked Queen Ai for the last recording of their partner before he went offline, they saw nothing but absolute destruction unfolding in his wake.
They recognized it to be totality collapse instantly, which made his death more plausible.
If he was killed, so be it. He is bound to be revived in the upcoming hours and reach us on his own." Wendigo stated, "Let's just be patient and wait."
While both of them were fuming internally about how their assassination plan backfired on them so badly, they knew that expressing it would solve nothing.
They didn't even bother to go after the SGAlliance's troops again, knowing that the Lady Sphinx and Fenrir would be there to protect them.
Thus, there wasn't much for them to be done at the moment besides waiting for their partner to reach out to them and regroup.
Alas, if only they knew what was happening to their partner at the moment, they wouldn't sit for even a second...
One minute before, when Manananggal had just gotten transported into the castle...
"My personal hell?" Manananggal sneered. "You think I can be kept here against my will?"
"Be my guest and give it a try." Felix extended his hand welcomely, not an ounce of worry on his face.
His unnerving confidence would have made anyone else feel bothered, but not Manananggal.
He pointed his finger at the castle's ceiling and called calmly, "Blood Overtake."
Whoosh! ! !
His blood rushed forth, spilling from him in crimson torrents! The rich, vibrant life fluid splashed against the castle's stones, seeping into cracks and crevices, and flowing across the floors and along the walls.
It surged like an unleashed river, rapid and relentless!
The castle began to shift and shimmer under the onslaught. lts stony visage became slick with blood, walls glistening, floors drenched. Every room, every corridor,and every inch of the castle was soaked in Manananggal's life essence!
liven his wife and children weren't spared from being submerged under his blood ocean. When the castle seemed to have been filled, he called in his mind,'Bloodification.'
As Manananggal channeled his unique ability, the haunting silence of the castle was pierced by an echoing pulse, as though the very heart of the fortress had been awakened!
The crimson life fluid that coated every surface started to react, and the bloodification process was initiated.
The castle began to morph and shift under this new power, its cold, hard stonework dissolving, replaced by a pulsating, living structure of blood.
Stone towers transformed into towering spires of flowing crimson, arches, and ceilings becoming a network of veins and arteries!
The floors morphed into a semi—solid state, undulating like a calm sea under Manananggal's feet.
The castle had become a castle of blood, a living, breathing monument sculpted from his very essence!
"When you own the illusion, even the owner is helpless against you."
The moment he said this, Manananggal snapped his finger, and the blood castle fell through, becoming a flowing river around its creator!
Before he could feel pleased with himself for even a second, Felix emerged from the river as a humanoid blood figure and said, "You are right, illusions are easy to handle in such cases as they are still labeled as mental attacks. But, this is no ordinary illusion attack."
His smile turned sinister the moment he finished his last sentence, causing chills to course down Mananannggal's spine.
'Illusion domain...I am inside an illusion domain.'
Manananggal deep down anticipated that Felix would have used illusion domain against him the moment he knew that he had integrated with Lord Loki's bloodline.
He wanted this truth to be false so badly as he recognized that once a person get inside an illusion domain without immunity, his fate was considered sealed!
The other illusions were considered mental attacks, but the illusion domain was considered a reality-bending ability.
Those two were far too separate from each other in terms of significance, one could even say that they were considered as two different elements!
"So, I hope you won't interrupt our fun limes again as I have great things stored for you." Felix's sinister smile widened as the blood river returned to a blood castle before it became a stone castle again.
Manananggal's expression couldn't help but turn ugly at the sight of his pregnant wife and his children returning to life again like Felix did nothing but reverse time in his presence.
"Shall we begin?"
Immediately after Manananggal's ears registered Felix's words, he found himself sitting at a long elegant dining table with his children facing him.
As for his wife?
She was laying on the table in front of him without a piece of cloth to hide even her private parts...Yet, she didn't seem uncomfortable as she had a gentle smile while eying her loving husband.
"Ili darling. " She greeted, her voice as soft as a hummingbird's whisper.
Her sweet look and voice reminded Manananggal of the best times of his life, which made him even angrier at Felix.
"You bastard...You really want to do this?" Manananggal said with a tone spilling with venom.
His calm and collected noble demeanor was no more as his vampire's bloodthirsty side was finally on display.
"I don't understand, wasn't eating unborn children from the womb of breathing pregnant women one of your finest delicacies in life?" Felix uttered with a confused tone, but his sadistic tone was still the same. "I am just being nice and giving your last meal before your execution...After all, the moment you were locked here with me, you became my own death row prisoner."
If someone else heard this, they would feel shivers course on their skin from the mere horror of the statement, don't even mention actually watching him do it!
Yet, Felix was fully bent on taking matters this far as Manananggal's evil deeds made him deserving of this punishment more than anything.
"You think I will give you and your masters the pleasure of seeing me eat my own child from my wife's stomach?" Is'Ianananggal scoffed, "I would rather give up on this body and start fresh again."
"I knew that you won't show any remorse after listening to your heinous crimes, but I didn't think it will be this bad. "
Felix's gaze got colder, not liking Manannaggal's response one bit.
When he heard about Manananggal's crimes from his masters and how the entire conflict between their factions resulted from them, he didn't dare to believe it.
He always thought that it started because Fenrir's pregnant wife got killed by Manananggal, but he didn't think it would be even worse than that.
A living primogenitor, one of the most intelligent, powerful, and authoritative beings in the universe actually sent his subordinates to hunt down fresh pregnant women to feast on their newborn children?
Just the thought alone made him feel sick to his stomach, but when he was shown memories by his masters of him doing it over and over again made Felix's heart burn with uncontrollable fury.
If this was his reaction, it was understandable how would the other primogenitors react when they found out about it.
While most primogenitors merely settled with a voiced warning to make him stop, the Asgardians took it a step further and decided to make Manananggal pay for his crimes as his subordinates had targeted many women from their own territories.
As their ancestors and protectors, it didn't sit right with them to just let him get away with it because of his status as a primr'rgenitor.
So, they confronted him, and because of their decision, Fenrir's pregnant wife wasn't just killed by Manananggal but suffered under the same treatment as others...
"Crimes? You really are as delusional as your masters." Manananggal uttered coldly, "Gods' actions are not considered crimes toward lesser mortals. Inst like you eat innocent animals without a second thought, what makes you think I can't do the same for mortals?"
"In my eyes, you are nothing but talking animals."
Chapter 1367: Your Personal Hell. III
Supremacy Games
1367 Your Personal Hell. III
"Talking animals, huh? If you truly believe so, you wouldn't have any problem with this." Felix said, pushing Mananaggal's chair closer to his exposed wife.
"I already told you, I am not going to give you the satisfaction of torturing me." Manananggal smiled coldly. "Also, you made a fatal mistake of not killing me the moment you captured me."
Without an ounce of hesitation, Manananggal attempted to commit suicide in the most destructive manner...Soul Implosionll
This was his last tramp card, one could say the ultimate ability of his true immortality!
When other people use soul implosion, it was a true death sentence since they couldn't even enter the spirit realm if they wanted.
This was the reason most fighters would rather die normally than be insane enough to blow their souls.
Unfortunately, Manananggal didn't seem like he was going to he exploding anything as his consciousness ocean didn't create a single wave even after a couple of seconds went by...
"Hmmm?! Why is it not working?"
l-lis pupils expanded in bafflement as he expected his soul to be exploding now and hopefully taking Felix with him.
"You are really unfamiliar with the illusion domain, are you?" Felix shook his head as he took a seat next to him.
"Well, let me help you understand your situation in better terms. You see, in this dreadful castle, you can consider me as a god." Felix patted him on the shoulder with a faint sinister smile. "As your god, I am the one in control of your life and death."
"What have you done?" Manananggal felt his heart skip a beat.
"Nothing, I just made it impossible for you to die in any shape or form even if it was the last thing you wanted in life."
This was the true horror of illusion domain and Lord Loki, its creator!
The moment someone step inside his domain without adequate resistance, his life no longer belonged to him and he could do whatever he pleased!
It didn't matter if it was a primogenitor or a commoner, all would suffer under the same fate as domains weren't considered the most horrific abilities in the universe for no reason!
Touching upon the laws wasn't to be underestimated as even unigins were getting punished left and right the moment they abused them!
"Also, don't bother switching your focus to your other wisps outside of the domain," Felix added, his smile was as cold as ever. "I have severed your consciousness link with them the moment you entered my domain."
Manananggal didn't trust him and attempted to seek a connection with his wisps.
Alas, no matter how hard he tried, he felt like he was calling through a void and no one was on the other side to pick up.
'It can't be...'
Now, Manananggal was truly freaking out internally as he realized that Felix could keep him inside this illusion domain and torture him for as long as he desired!
His overpowered true immortality was absolutely useless as he couldn't even kill himself to activate it!
" Looks like you finally understand your position. "
While the situation seemed f*cked in his eyes, Manananggal still turned to stare at Felix with the calmest look ever.
"You are really foolish to assume that you can keep me held up in here for as long as you want." Manananggal said calmly, "My partners will sense something isn't right the moment don't contact them in a couple of hours at best. Then, they will make sure to tom the universe upside down if it meant finding my location."
"That's all true, but all I need are a few seconds to break you apart." Felix stood up from the table and leaned closer to Manananggal's ear. Then, he whispered with the creepiest tone. "Or have you already forgotten the greatest quality of the illusion domain?"
"Time manipulation." Manananggal's expression turned grim.
He had experienced the time manipulation greatness personally under Lord Loki's hands when he slept for billions of years inside his illusion world.
liven when he knew about the time difference and that it was all an illusion, both his mind and body still perceived it as a reality...5econds became years and years became millenniums.
It was a freakish situation that caused all primogenitors to both respect and fear Lord Loki even more.
Now, he was going to experience it yet again, but this time he would be tortured each second of it without the ability to even kill himself!
Manananggal let out a deep exhale in defeat before switching his attitude completely.
"Fine, you have gotten my interest. Tell me what do you want? Do you want to end our conflict once and for all? I can convince my partners to drop it." He offered with a serious tone.
It might sound like a ploy to free him, but Manananggal had absolutely no problems with going for it if it meant freeing him from his current situation.
It was an understandable decision as no one in his right mind would desire to get tortured for god knows how many years if there was a solution to avoid it.
"End our conflict? Your hatred might not be running as deep as mine to even propose such a bullsh*t offer, but I can tell you right now and here...You ain't f*cking going anywhere." Felix replied, his usually calm and composed face twisted in a grimace of pure loathing.
He didn't even spend a second to consider his proposal as he had no intentions of ending this conflict this easily.
He might have accepted his family and friends' death, but there was no way he was going to soil their unjust passing by accepting such a disgusting offer.
"You are a deity now. Are you really planning to go this far for the sake of some dead useless leec..."
BOOOOOOOOM!!!
Before Manananggal could finish his sentence, Felix's fist shot forward with the force of a raging tempest meeting Manananggal's jaw with an audible, bone-rattling impact!
The sound echoed throughout the room, a sharp counterpoint to the unsettling silence that had prevailed just moments before.
Whooosh! !!
Manananggal was catapulted from his chair, his body twisting unnaturally in mid—air. The world seemed to slow for a moment as he sailed through the room, a look of shocked surprise etched onto his face.
Thuuud!!!
Then, with a deafening crash that shook the very foundations of the castle, he slammed into the wall!!
Dust and debris rained down around him as the wall cracked from the impact, creating a Spiderweb of fractures in the once—flawless masonry.
"Keep them out of your filthy mouth." Felix said word by word with a suppressed tone, his anger wasn't appeased even a little by the punch.
fact, it just triggered him to beat the sh*t out of Manananggal even harder. Still, he took control of his emotions and walked towards Manananggal slowly.
"From today onward, you will be spending day by day feasting on your pregnant wife while listening to the names of all the innocent people you have killed on my planet." Felix uttered coldly, "I don't care if you repent and seek forgiveness...'l'his will be your life until the day I decide to put you out of your misery."
Without waiting for Manananggal to respond or react, Felix snapped his finger as he walked towards the throne Chamber's gate.
Meanwhile, Manananggal was already back in his seat with his children and wife, each giving him a different look.
"Don't do this...You brat, don't do this!"
Manananggal's calm demeanor was shattering akin to a mirror as he realized that he couldn't control his body anymore.
His hands picked up the knife and the fork against his own will and reached out to the belly of his beautiful and gentle wife.
"Honey, what are you doing?" She asked, tilting her head in con fusion at the sight of the knife being placed directly above her stomach.
"No, no, no, no..."
Manananggal's hand kept shaking, trying his very best to stop the knife...Alas, his efforts were as useless as pouring a bucket of water on a burning building.
Slice...
"Argh!!! Honeyll It hurts! Stop!!"
His wife cried out loud in agony as the knife cut through her belly in a clean fashion, causing a flood of blood to rush outside.
"This isn't real, this isn't real..." Mananananggal tried his best to ignore his wife's cries and the horrible look of her opened stomach, repeating in his mind that be was in an illusion and none of this was real.
Alas, no matter how much he repeated it, it was as real as it could get...
"Bon Appetite," Felix said one last time after glancing behind him and seeing this heinous and absolutely wicked view...
With a look of grim determination etched on his face, he pulled the gate closed, the gate groaning under its own weight.
His steps were measured as he walked away, the cries of Manananggal, his wife, and their baby echoing behind him.
'l'heir pleas and screams resonated in the massive hallway outside the throne chamber, a haunting melody of desperation and fear.
'Don't be soft, don't be merciful, don't be Lenient, and don't be humane. He deserves more thousand times much worse punishment.' As the voices invaded Felix's mind, he kept reminding himself of Manananggal's past and recent crimes.
His face was hard, and his heart hardened even more. This was the justice he deserved, he told himself.
The suffering he had caused to all those innocent pregnant women was now his own to endure.
Ka—thumb! !
As the gate sealed with a resonating clang, their screams were muffled, becoming haunting whispers in the wind.
Felix walked on, the cries growing fainter with each step until all he could hear was the silent condemnation of his own heartbeat.
The chamber, and the scene of retribution it held, were left behind, their cries a ghostly echo in his mind...

1368 The Only Method To End True Immortality
As Felix exited the chamber, leaving behind the echoing screams of Manananggal and his family, a strange void began to fill him.
He had expected relief, satisfaction, and perhaps even a sense of triumphant justice. But instead, he felt...nothing. it was as if his spirit, fueled for so long by the raging fire of vengeance, had suddenly found itself without purpose, without direction.
He was left hollow, a shell echoing with the ghosts of his past. The anger that had propelled him, the hatred that had kept him focused, had dissipated, leaving behind a stark emptiness that was somehow more painful than his previous torment...
It was like he realized that the moment he was done with his vengeance, the saga of his grandfather and loved ones was going to be closed permanently and he could do nothing to change it...
Still, even when those emotions were brewing in his mind, Felix didn't feel an ounce of hesitation about continuing with his vengeance.
'Let's bring an end to this.'
As Felix was walking away, his body began to disintegrate into light particles before he vanished completely.
When he reemerged, he was seen standing in front of Manananggal... Though, he had his eyes closed shut and seemed like he was in a deep slumber, oblivious to his surroundings.
Unbeknownst to Manananggal, Felix had actually put him inside two illusion domains stacked on each other!
One affecting his physical body and the other his mind.
Felix had to go this far if he wanted to kill Manamanggal once and for good.
"Are you going to start now?" Asna inquired.
"There is no time to waste." Felix nodded.
" Start with his memories...They are much easier to erase than the genomes. " Lady Sphinx advised.
"I understand."
Felix didn't question her decision as what he was about to do could be considered way above his league in terms of complexity...Unfortunately, it was the only method possible to erase Manananggal from the universe and not give him a slight chance of revival.
The plan was centered around Felix kidnapping Manananggal and keeping him occupied while he would focus on erasing the genomes and memories responsible for true immortality!
Felix understood that the moment he used his concept of erasure palms to mark and then erase them, Manananggal would be the same as he had never learned it in the first place!
This wouldn't affect only himself but also his empty vessels around the universe in addition to any drop of his blood!
If he managed to pull this off, he could finally kill Manananaggal and not worry about him resurfacing akin to a cursed ghost.
"This is going to take awhile."
With a cold determination set in his icy eyes, Felix reached out, his hand hovering over Manananaggal's forehead.
"Memories Recollection," he murmured.
White invisible particles crackled at his fingertips, pulsating like a heartbeat. Slowly, it began to sink into Manananggal's skin, seeping into his mind.
Felix's vision blurred momentarily before a whirlwind of images and emotions hit him; he was stepping into the chaotic realm of Manananggal's memories.
They flashed by in hazy fragments: laughter, bloodshed, fear, triumph, a myriad of emotions that held no value to Felix.
His focus was singular. He waded through the memories, his presence a foreign entity in the chaos until he found what he was looking for - the first memory of true Immortality.
It was guarded, a jewel amidst the rough, glistening with an otherworldly glow.
Carefully, Felix reached for it, his fingers closing around the ethereal construct. A rush of crimson mist coursed through him, the taste of immortality on his tongue.
With a determined grit, be engulfed it inside the concept destruction energy, the memory resisting as if aware of its impending doom.
Alas no matter how hard it resisted, nothing could survive Lord Shiva's concept destruction ability...
The memory of True immortality was forcibly erased, the space where it once existed was now an empty void.
As Felix withdrew his hand, he could see Manananggal twitch in his unconscious state.
'Let's go all out now.'
Felix knew that he had just taken the major memory related to true immortality and there were still god knows how many more.
However, he had the plan to deal with them all at once, using a combination of Lord Loki's memories recollection ability and his concept destruction ability.
He had tested it out on Manananggal's clone during his preparation and while it was difficult to pull off, it was doable.
Without further ado, Felix began the process, his hands radiating a spectral glow.
The glow from his hands seeped into Manananggal's forehead, penetrating the veil of his mind. This time, instead of seeking out memories, Felix used the content of the deleted memory as a magnet to bring all memories related to it to the surface!
This was the true power of Memoriestreams Recollection, his fourth active ability. it allowed him to manipulate a person's memories and dreams to his desires.
lie could even use it to delete them, but he chose his concept destruction ability for this part since it was more thorough and smoother.
Unlike commoners, primogenitors were more than capable of recovering even lost memories on their own!
'It's happening.' Asna commentated, watching the memories beginning to rise, swirling around Felix like a tempestuous sea.
The whirlpool of images and feelings was disorienting, but Felix remained unwavering. He had one target: every memory linked to Manananggal's power.
Felix focused, calling forth every memory tethered to Manananggal's abilities. One by one, they rose, each glowing with its own spectral luminescence.
The power behind these memories was staggering as this was the mind of a primogenitor.
Even his memories were tightly guarded and if he wasn't at his weakest mental due to the torture, Felix would have been struggling now.
Once gathered, he invoked the second part of his plan.
"Concept erasure palm," Felix commanded.
A wave of energy surged from his palms, slamming into the concentrated memories!
They convulsed, writhed, and then began to shatter, each fracture erasing a fragment of knowledge, a piece of Manananggal's power.
When the echoes faded, Felix was left standing alone, the once vibrant whirlpool of memories now nothing more than a vacant abyss...
"Now to the hardest part." Felix requested, "Master, I will need your help on this one."
Deleting memories could be said to have no major repercussions even if he screwed it up big time...But the same couldn't be applied to erasing genes.
One mistake in targeting the correct genomes and Manananggal could get killed!
In this case? That was the worst scenario possible as it would mean securing his revival in another part of the universe!
As Felix looked down at the incapacitated Manananggal, his mind began to whirl with uncertainty.
He knew that the task was daunting, like trying to find a needle in a cosmic haystack. Even in his preparation attempts, he had failed almost every time to make it happen without causing Manananggal permanent damages.
The only fortunate news was that he was doing this inside his illusion domain, which enabled him to stop the situation from detailing the worst possible scenario.
Just then, Lady Sphinx's voice echoed in his mind.
"focus on the genome responsible for cellular regeneration. Look for abnormal sequences, those will lead you to the key."
"Alright."
Following her guidance, Felix began his search. With his illusion domain's control, he visualized the intricate structures of Manananggal's DNA, his mind becoming a supercomputer analyzing and sifting through genetic information.
While those strings of genes seemed illusionary and fake, they were actually connected with the real ones inside Manananggal!
It was like they were projected on the outside instead of him going to them.
"There," Lady Sphinx said, her voice echoing in his mind.
A string of genetic code stood out from the rest, its pattern far more complex and convoluted.
"That's the one responsible for True Immortality."
Felix trusted her judgment as this was the first time he saw the actual thing in front of them.
The genomes used in his preparation were imaginary but had the same properties as true immortality.
Instead of reaching out and seeking to erase it as he did with the memories, Felix went out. on his way to study all the genomes connected with it, knowing that the processes and characteristics in an organism were governed by a complex interplay of many genes, not just a single one.
These genes could interact with each other and the environment in various ways to contribute to the final outcome, whether that's a physical trait, a behavior, or even the risk of developing a certain disease.
For example, height in humans was a classic example of a trait that's controlled by multiple genes, or polygenic.
Hundreds of genes were estimated to influence how tall a person could grow. Similarly, complex diseases like heart disease or cancer were often influenced by a combination of multiple genetic and environmental factors.
For true immortality's quirk, the gift of eternity, there should be millions of genes if not more all connected in a perfect dance to make this ability possible!
'Here is one, here is another, and another...'
As Felix placed his entire focus on finding the connections to this peculiar genome, knowing that it was going to take him days or even weeks if he was unlucky.
He knew that he couldn't afford to be slow when Wendigo and Saurous were still outside, hunting him down to rescue their partner.
Chapter 1369: A Lifetime Regret...
Supremacy Games
1369 A Lifetime Regret...
While Felix was rushing against time to finish studying the best way to eliminate the true immortality genomes without causing Manananggal's death, his masters and Fenrir were seen sitting on beach chairs in one row.
Their eyes were affixed on the horrifying spectacle before them: Manananggal, writhing and screaming in the throes of agony as he was covered in blood from the top to the bottom... The blood of his dearest ones to him, the blood of his one and true love in his entire eternal life.
Yet, there was no satisfaction in their eyes, no pleasure derived from the sight; only a deep—seated sense of melancholy and a reminiscence of a time when their fates were not intertwined in this cruel dance.
Thor crossed his arms over his mighty chest, his eyes hard and unflinching.
"Remember when we first encountered him?" he asked.
His grip tightened around an alcoholic flask, the memories igniting the ancient spark of war within him.
Jormungandr replied, a bitter smile forming, "A simpler time when his bloodthirst was not yet known to us."
"I would pay anything to return to those times..." Fenrir uttered softly, his eyes closed shut under the background of Manananggal's wife's pitiful screams.
These voices did nothing but remind him of his dearest wife and his dead unborn child...Even his frigid heart was affected by those beautiful loving memories.
Almost all primogenitors ended up finding true love after going through an unimaginable number of partners.
Some of them cherished their partners and were loyal to them monogamously even when they were mere mortals.
Some loved them to the point of not touching another partner after their death.
Some were broken into pieces after their death, incapable of letting them go and trying every possible method to bring them back.
All of those partners shared one thing... Meeting their mortality while their primogenitors' partners didn't age for even a second.
If Fenrir's wife had died a natural death, he would have been upset, but he would still move on from it.
Instead, her ending caused him to go into a spiral of maddening anger and he released this rage on none other than Manananggal.
Alas, when he realized that it was hopeless to kill him and get his revenge, he chose the darker path.
A path he still regretted to this day as it made him feel like he was no different than Manananggal.
"I am sorry," Fenrir muttered, his apologetic eyes affixed on Manananggal's wife.
"You did what you felt was right at the moment." Thor comforted him, "Plus, he is the one coming after your wife first and even killing her in such a wicked manner."
"My method was no different..."
Fenrir closed his eyes, scenes of what he had done to Mananannggal's wife resurfaced in his mind.
In the ethereal gloaming, he stood towering over the trembling figure of Manananggal's wife.
His eyes, glowing ominously, bore into her frightened ones, radiating an air of palpable dread.
With a swift move, Fenrir nudged her with his massive snout, pushing her toward the edge of the woods where packs of the most fierce wolves in the entire universe existed.
Wolves the size of buildings with teeth capable of chewing into the hardest known metal...
"Please don't do this.-.Please, I had nothing to do with what he did!" Manananggal's wife begged, tears streaking down her cheeks as she knelt in front of Fenrir.
"You knew of his nature and did nothing to change it...You are just as guilty as him." Fenrir's heart wasn't affected by her pitiful look one bit.
"I didn't know! He never let me on such matters! Sob, sob...Even if I knew, do you think he will listen to me? He didn't even listen to the three of you."
"He is your husband, you should have tried harder."
Even when she didn't seem to be lying, Fenrir had already steeled his broken heart to give her the same punishment Manananggal gave to his innocent wife.
He was burning with rage and vengeful thoughts and nothing anyone said was going to change his mind...
"Flee," he growled in a voice that was as chilling as the wind rustling through the dead trees, "Run and let fate decide your destiny."
"Ple..."
"Go!"
With a whimpered sob, the woman stumbled into the dark woods, the howling of the wolves echoing in her ears.
In less than a few minutes...The heavy silence of the cold night was abruptly punctuated by a terrified scream echoing from the depths of the forest.
Fenrir turned his sharp gaze towards the sound, his ears twitching in the chilly wind.
They were the screams of a cornered prey, the wails of an inevitable fate that was approaching rapidly.
The wolves, their silhouettes lit by the faint moonlight, slowly began to converge upon the source of the cries. Their eyes glowed ominously in the darkness, like fiery orbs in the pitch—black night.
Fenrir watched the scene unfold with a cold, detached gaze. The terrified screams did little to stir any sympathy within him.
The echoes of her cries served as a harsh reminder of the torment Manananggal had inflicted upon countless others and especially his wife.
As the screams slowly faded into chilling whimpers, Fenrir turned his gaze away, the haunting echoes a grim symphony of retribution, played out in the dark theatre of the forest.
The Fenrir of the old would have no idea that he would regret this decision for the rest of his life...lt wasn't because it kicked the Asgardian vs Darkins' conflict to a new height without a single chance of peace talks.
lle regretted it because he found out truly that Manananggal's wife had nothing to do with her husband's evil hobby of eating unborn infants, and he caused the death of an innocent life just to stick it to his enemy...
Right now, all Ire could do was ask for forgiveness from her illusionary form.
'The final page of this hook is finally about to get closed once and for all.'
Fenrir thought to himself as he watched Felix trying his very best to bring an end to Manananggal's reign.
"To be honest, when you told me this kid has the potential to kill the darkins, I laughed at you in my mind." Thor suddenly chuckled as he eyed Jormungandr.
"I know." Jormungandr smiled back.
"Who would have thought he was going to pull it off." Thor took a mouthful of alcohol in his mouth while his eyes showed a proud look. "After this, I can brag that I'm the only one to bring up a student that slayed a primogenitor."
"Not any primogenitor, the one proclaimed as unkillable." Jormungandr shared his pleasure, knowing that his peers were bound to lose their sh*t when they hear the news.
Unlike Fenrir, they didn't feel any guilt about whatever happened to the darkins or anyone related to them.
The sh*t they made them go through for hundreds of millions of years made it. impossible for them to feel anything but utter hatred...Especialy when they ganged up on their partner when they were gone.
"Hold your horses, looks like the darkins are getting antsy already." Lord Loki shared with an irritated tone.
"Hmmm? What are you talking about?" Asna asked.
"They have just reached out to me to give them the location of your boy."
liven though Wendigo and Saurous said that they could wait patiently for their partners to reach them, it wasn't easy to commit to it in such a tense situation.
So, instead of wasting their time biting their fingers, they decided to use Lord Loki's assistance.
"We aren't idiots, we have figured out that you are the only one with such classified information about our plan and even location." Wendigo stated coldly as he sat in front of Lord Loki in the UVR.
I'I don't know if you did this to pay a favor or you have switcher] to their side of our conflict, whatever it is, you are going to tell us about his location." Saurous threatened.
"IfI say no? Are you going to forward a complaint to the council? The council that has kicked you out already?" Lord Loki chuckled.
"Laugh all you want, but I tell you this." Saurous leaned closer and promised with the most sinister look ever. "We will make it our life mission to ruin your precious UVR experiment."
The moment his experiment was brought onto the table, Lord Loki's chuckle faded away and was replaced with an icy expression.
"Boys, do you really think it's the smartest decision to threaten an elemental lord? An elemental lord, who can hunt you down anywhere you go, and even if you hugged the legs of a unigin, you won't be saved?" Lord Loki stressed with his eyes narrowed, "Is this really how you want to play this? Think carefully before you reply."
Chapter 1370: Seeking Outsiders' Help
Supremacy Games
1370 Seeking Outsiders' Help
Wendigo and Saurous felt their hearts go cold all of a sudden as they stared at his soulless eyes.
Lord Loki always seemed easy—going and informal. which made him seem quite bullyable compared to the other elemental lords.
But, when he gets angered, he reverted back to his true character and the darkins seemed to realize that they were truly walking into a massive mistake due to their anger.
'Let's just leave.'
'Uhm.'
So, they calmed themselves a bit and left without saying another word even when Lord Loki made it clear that he knew about their partner's whereabouts.
"They left, but it's doubtful if this is going to stop them." Lord Loki shared with the tenants.
"If they were smart, their next destinations would be either Elemental Lord Osiris or Lord Dune." Thor narrowed his eyes.
The tenants nodded in agreement.
"I guess it's time for me to dip.' Felix said.
He assumed that he had a few hours until the darkins manage to find him. but he didn't expect them to move this quickly and even seek outsiders' help.
It was best for him to change his location to somewhere more secure and unreachable.
As they anticipated. the darkins reached out to Lord Osiris.
Since they knew that Lord Loki wasn't neutral anymore, they had to get rid of their AP Bracelets. which made establishing a connection much more difficult.
Fortunately, they still had a few clones spread in the seven demon realms and they used them to make the call.
"We seek your aid, Lord Osiris. Our brother is lost, and we require your help with the death string to locate him." Wendigo requested, his voice as respectful as ever.
He didn't dare raise his voice like he did with Lord Loki as the Lord of Death wasn't tolerable of anything informal.
Lord Osiris regarded them with an impassive gave. his features set in a timeless stoicism. "You engage in battles of your own making. i have no interest in your conflicts."
The Darkins remained unfazed as they anticipated such a response.
"We offer you three favors. three actions that you may invoke at any time of your choosing."
It was a known fact that Lord Osiris operated through favors and if the price was right. he had no problem with offering his help on such simple matters. Alas. this situation wasn't like any other.
Osiris shook his head. "Even the temptation of three favors cannot sway my resolution. I shall remain uninvolved in your petty squabbles."
'What the hell? Why would he reject us?'
'It's three favors and all he needs to do is use his death string to guide us.'
Saurous and Wendigo were left pretty displeased but mostly con fused. Three favors was an overprice for his help and they expected it to work loo%. Unbeknownst to them. Lord Osiris rejected their proposal for the sake of his curiosity.
Ever since he called Lord Zurvan to cash out Felix's favor, he knew that there was something fishy about him.
After all. he was one of the few ones with great familiarity to Lord Zurvan and he understood that he never does anything without a reason.
"Can you at least tell us if our partner has died or not?" Saurous changed his request to something that could be done with a mere glance from Lord Osiris.
As the death primogenitor, he held a record of all things that died or still living in this universe and there was no way better than him at this.
"His string hasn't been cut...Now leave me in peace."
Lord Osiris gave them this at least, which didn't really please the darkins as much as they would have if he helped them find their partner.
Still. it was a good piece of information.
"He is still alive, which means they have really taken him to another dimension or something." Saurous said coldly, "The f'l'ckers know that it's useless to kill him, so they must be planning to keep him sealed somewhere for eternity."
"Not for long...l.et's seek out Lord Dune's help. There is no way that greedy worm won't help us out if we offered the same price."
Without a second wasted. they swiftly attempted to contact Lord Dune. After a couple of rings, Lord Dune agreed to a meeting.
Unlike their meeting with Lord Osiris. the deal was struck the moment Lord Dune was offered three favors to merely act as a guide.
He didn't care about Felix, his masters, or the conflict in general. in his eyes, this was a conflict outside of the primogenitors' council jurisdiction after the darkins were kicked out, which meant he could do whatever he pleased and not get in trouble with his peers.
"Send me the coordinates to the nearest location where he disappeared." Lord Dune ordered expressionlessly.
"Done."
Saurous took care of it and waited with his partner in the area where Felix and Manananggal had their confrontation.
In the blink of an eye, Lord Dune had emerged from a supermassive wormhole in the exact given coordinates, causing the darkins to put a significant distance between them and the wormhole not to get caught in the rising spatial storm.
Lord Dune's size defied all earthly comprehension, a titanic creature that dwarfed even the largest cosmic bodies!
Silver as starlight, his body glinted and shimmered with the brilliance of thousands of stars. His form was serpentine. winding, and coiling in a mesmerizing display of cosmic grandeur.
It was clear that he possessed a size manipulation ultimate ability, which could be considered unexceptional for a lord...But, Lord Dune knew what he was doing.
As he emerged fully from the wormhole. he turned his gigantic antennas toward Saurous and Wendigo.
He said telepathically, 'I can sense an unnatural spatial distortion happening here and connected to another location...Follow me.'
Lord Dunc reduced his size until he was their height and then created a spatial portal. connecting him to his mentioned location.
As the primogenitor of space, any bizarre spatial disturbance could be picked up by his senses on a galaxy scale, which meant no one could escape from him even if they teleported to the edge of the galaxy!
He had billions of years to hone his spatial senses, which was something that most primogenitors don't bother focusing on.
'There was a small pocket dimension here.' Lord Dune shared as he gazed at the chaotic spatial disruption left behind by Felix.
'What do you mean by was?' Saurous frowned, not liking where this was going.
'You were too late, he must have figured out your plan and escaped before you found him.' Lord Dune reasoned. his antennas gazing into the empty cosmos. 'Even worse, it seems like he has moved your partner into the void realm.'
'Sh*t, sh*t, it's that f*cker Loki selling us out.' Saurous cursed, knowing that the moment they made contact with Lord Loki, he must have told on them to Felix.
Meanwhile. Lord Dune could see Felix's trajectory as he was heading deeper and deeper into the void realm.
He was like a wolf capable of chasing after his prey from the mere smell, but in this instant, through spatial residue left on Felix's body.
'I will give you a freebie and open a void portal for you. But. my work will be considered done.I Lord Dune said.
"This is not what we have agreed upon.' Wendigo narrowed his eyes in displeasure, 'We made a deal to help up locate our brother. So far, you are just pointing your finger.'
'Our deal doesn't involve getting inside the void realm.' Lord Dune said calmly. 'Now, do you want me to Open a void rift for you or not? I am leaving in ten seconds.'Lord Dunc didn't even bother worrying about them not paying up later on because of this. He knew that they were smart enough to understand that if they dared renegade on their favors, he would he the one killing them, not Felix.
'l'lease wait. let us think about it.' Saurous switched his tone, understanding that it was best to not anger their only source of reachability to their partner.
'What do we do?'
'We should make him create a void portal as close as possible to that brat.' Saurous suggested, 'We can then try to kill him or at least free our partner.'
'If things went south?' Wendigo asked.
The true danger of the void realm wasn't the void energy, but getting stuck in it with the void energy.
All primogenitors could survive the disintegration of void energy for a decent period, but it wouldn't matter much if they couldn't get themselves out.
'I will create a black hole to shatter the dimensions on my point and you can relocate your body somewhere else...You will be weakened again, but it's the only method we have left.'
'Alright, let's do it.'
Wendigo agreed at Once. knowing that there wasn't much to be done.
'llave you decided?' Lord Dune asked.
'Open it up.' Saurous said coldly, 'We are going in.'
Chapter 1371: Facing Against His Adversities
Supremacy Games
1371 Facing Against His Adversities
'How deep are you planning to get. it's best to not go too deep to avoid the Paragon.' Asna warned with a worried tone, 'Getting close to an awake unigin with an agenda is a death sentence.'
'I know.'
While he said this, Felix was still pushing deeper and deeper with Nimo acting as his aircraft. Obviously, he had his masters with him for protection as he was in his most vulnerable state right now.
He had to keep two illusion domains active while at the same time keep decyphering Manananggal's true immortality genomes codes on the run.
To do this inside the void realm when he knew that there was a much bigger threat inside than outside was a challenge 011 its own.
But, he was left with no choice as he knew that pocket dimension was easily breachable if located.
'How far are you now?' Fenrir asked calmly.
'Probably 10% done?' Felix replied, his wisdom eyes fully activated, trying his best to facilitate the identification process.
30% done here.'
Fortunately, he had his master's assistance as she was also handling a different patch of genes and she was actually much faster than him even without wisdom eyes!
'Vou better finish it faster.' Fenrir's instincts kept tingling, 'I have a bad feeli...'
Before he could finish his sentence, a sudden spatial disturbance occurred right in front of them... The moment they focused on it, they realized that it was a void rift opening up!
As the hum reached a crescendo, two forms emerged from the rift. Wendigo and Saurous stepped inside the void, their sudden appearance sending waves of surprise rippling through Felix and the tenants.
'How...'
'Lord Dune.'
All of them figured out Lord Dune's involvement instantly as they knew that he was the only one who could be convinced through a deal to join the conflict and at the same time open up portals to multiple dimensions.
'You aren't running away this time.'
Before they could think too much about this, Saurous was the first to make a move as be cast a massive intense gravitational field around them, causing everyone to feel like they were under a star's gravity!
Whoosh!!
Just like they had already prepared their fighting strategy, Wendigo followed suit by merging with the void realm's pitch -black darkness and casting mental attacks at his adversaries!
Before either Felix. Fenrir or his master could make a move to block their attacks, Nimo split his body into two parts, one part remained as an aircraft while the other part transformed into a supermassive raccoon, with devilish fierce red eyes!
Eee Eee!
Then, he opened his mouth widely and released a potent intense beam of purified void energy in the direction of Saurous!
'The hell?"
'What is this?'
The beam was so powerful, it cut through the gravitational field like it was a helpless piece of paper, which left both darkins stunned.
Saurous reacted swiftly and evaded the beam, but his gravitational field had its equilibrium ruined and caused the intense gravity to collapse on its own, freeing Felix and his companions without needing them to do anything!
Though, for the mental attacks, they had to eat them raw. Fortunately, all three of them were capable of defending against them.
Lady Sphinx's mental prowess was one of the best as she was constantly improving it by managing hundreds of clones on a daily basis.
Fenrir was used to Wendigo's mental attacks in his many previous battles with him.
Lastly, Felix's mental defenses were quite amazing with mind fortress and other mental barriers. '5
He might not take Wendigo's ultimate ability, but he could easily defend against the less powerful ones.
'Good job, Nimo. But, take Felix and leave, we got this covered.' Lady Sphinx ordered as she expelled herself from the void protection.
She covered herself in sand barriers, causing the void energy to keep consuming them continuously, but leaving her body intact.
Fenrir did the same, but using ice coating.
Eee Eee!
Listening to her commands, Nimo didn't hesitate to ditch them and speed away with Felix on board, prioritizing his father's safety over anything.
'Sh*t, he is getting away.' Saurous yelled at his partner, 'Get him! I can handle them alone.'
'On it.'
Wendigo didn't need him to voice it as he was already chasing after Felix and Nimo at the top of his speed.
'I don't have much time before void energy starts getting into me. I need to be quick and kill either that brat or Manananggal.' Wendigo thought to himself, his expression as serious as it could be.
At the moment, his main goal was to free their partner, and killing Felix was a mere bonus. If he had to kill his own partner to achieve it, so be it.
'Sh*t, we can't go faster than this without causing the illusion domains to fall apart.' Felix frowned, not liking the situation in the slightest.
He told Nimo to go at a moderate speed even when he could easily leave Wendigo to eat his dust.
But, the instant he did that, Manananggal's consciousness would snap wide open from his illusion domains, and all of his efforts would be gone to waste.
Manananggal had seen and knows too much to end up surviving his plan.
The tenants understood the difficult situation Felix was in and shimmed in to help him out.
"You have two choices, either wait out until Wendigo's darkness barriers end up consuming all of his fuel and forcing him out of the void realm, or turn around and fight him with Nimo.' Thor shared, his grip tightening around his alcoholic jar.
While he offered two choices, the first one was merely there as a show. All the tenants knew that primogenitors' energy tank was monstrous and Wendigo could last hours if not more if he put his entire mind into the chase.
'Fight it is.' Felix responded with a hardened expression.
While he made his decision to engage in a battle with Wendigo, he still wasn't planning to stop anytime soon.
He wanted to pull him as far as possible from his partner, so even if his masters failed to keep him put, he wouldn't interfere in time.
'Please be careful of his ultimate ability.' Asna uttered with a worried tone, memories of Felix's failed experiments against it resurfaced in her mind.
'Don't worry, I trained hard for this moment.' Felix responded with a earnest look.
'God damn void energy, it's everywhere.'
Meanwhile, Wendigo wasn't having the best time of his life. The void energy was literally everywhere, making it impossible for him to release any darkness—related particles without them getting absolutely devoured.
If it was not for them, he would have dominated Felix already with all of this darkness around. After all, the void realm was a mirroring dimension without a single ounce of light capable of resisting the void energy's disintegration, which can be considered as a paradise for darkness elementalists.
Alas, while void power source was not visible, it was there and darkness particles had absolutely no place in its home.
'Here should be enough, Nimo, let's do this.'
Eee Eee!
Nimo came to a full stop and separated himself from the aircraft yet again. But this time, Felix came out with him and left Manananggal's alone in the void aircraft.
Obviously, he was still in the illusion domain, having no clue about any of this.
'Nimo! Give me a Pride buff!'
lice lice!
Without an ounce of hesitation, Nimo extended his paw in the direction of Felix as be cast upon him the symbol of pride, emerging on the back of Felix akin to a tattoo!
Felix did not take Nimo with him to the elemental galaxy and left him to waste thousands of years fooling around. He might be a bit retarded and much weaker than his scaled alter ego, but he could still use the same laws too, just not as well.
Felix had helped Nimo find out a method to use the sins laws to boost his strength, and this was a mere taste of what they had come up with!
'That's the good stuff.'
In an instant, Felix felt a surge of power source coursing through his veins...It was as if a dam had been opened within him, releasing a torrent of raw, untamed power that filled him from head to toe.
This was the power of pride, the sin most associated with the notion of hubris and confidence. It was potent, intoxicating, a reservoir of strength that promised untold might.
His muscles swelled with newfound energy, his eyes burned with unquenchable fire, and his heart pounded with a thunderous rhythm. His pride, his unyielding belief in himself, had been amplified a hundredfold, transforming him into a vessel of pure, focused power!
With everything that happened to Felix in his journey, his pride had been cultivated naturally to the point, he believed himself to be capable of even slaying those beings.
This helped him achieve this unimaginable temporary strength boost.
'This should do it.' Felix beamed his CosmosBreaker and used the void suit to coat it as well, leaving only the tip of the blade in the open.
With its immense resistance to destruction, he knew that it would survive a decent period before the void power source would get to it for real.
Felix lifted the axe and pointed it at Wendigo, then he challenged him while his body seemed to be covered in a pressuring aura, "Your boyfriend is right behind me, free him if you dare."
Chapter 1372: Wendigo Vs Felix
Supremacy Games
1372 Wendigo Vs Felix
Wendigo didn't respond to his taunt... He remained calm and analyzed the situation.
'This brat can't be underestimated, he must have dealt with Manananggal on his own since neither Thor nor Jormungandr had made an appearance all this while.'
'Did those bastards die in the past for real and their wisps are the only thing existing right now?'
The darkins might not have had any proof of this before, but they always had doubts about the Asgardians' life status.
The fact that their battle with their student had lasted for decades and yet, they never bothered to show themselves had always made them more inclined to believe it.
Now, he would be a fool to believe that those two were still alive when they didn't bother to show themselves even in this critical moment.
While this news was somewhat music to his ears, it also implied the horrifying truth that their brother had been taken care of in a 1vsl battle by a mere newly ascended deity!
'What's the deal with that creature, how can it wield the laws of sins and void at the same time? Don't tell me, it's the reincarnation of the paragon of sins?' Wendigo thought to himself as he eyed Nimo.
If Nimo didn't look quite stupid, he would have believed that he was the paragon of sins himself.
'There is only one way to find out about his nature.' Without. an ounce of hesitation, Wendigo released his spiritual pressure on Nimo.
Felix merely snickered and watched as the spiritual pressure collided with Nimo.
Eee Eee?
'It can't be...'
When Wendigo saw that his powerful spiritual pressure didn't even tickle Nimo or force him to bring out his own as protection, he couldn't help but feel chills coursing down his spine.
Fortunately, he didn't suffer from a backlash, which made him understand that Nimo's spiritual pressure was just slightly higher than his.
'He isn't a unigin, but how can he have spiritual pressure rivaling primogenitors? Is he a new unique void creature?'
Wendigo's mind was filled with more questions than answers. Alas, Felix wasn't planning to clarify any of them or give him time to wonder.
Whoosh!
Without an ounce of hesitation, Felix dashed in the direction of Wendigo, appearing in front of him in less than a split second.
With an icy expression, he swung the CosmosBreaker, his muscles straining with the effort.
"Too fast! Can't dodge it!'
The Divine weapon moved through the void, meeting Wendigo's form, cleaving through his shadowy figure, splitting him in twain!
Yet the victory was momentary. The two halves of Wendigo, instead of falling lifeless, began to seethe and bubble, dark matter ceiling and twisting within.
And then, with a shudder that echoed through the void, the two halves vanished, only to re—emerge at another location, stitching back together into a whole, a shadowy specter of Wendigo once again, his figure as intimidating and ominous as before!
'How can he be so strong?! Is it because of the pride symbol?'
Wendigo knew that Felix was a newly ascended deity, which meant he had only one million BF.
However, the force and speed displayed in his attack were far from that. In fact, it could be said to have even surpassed him!
"We are just starting."
Felix appeared akin to a ghost in front of him again and this time, he channeled concept erasure palm through his axe and amplified its prowess to the next level.
Wendigo did not dare to get himself touched by it as he swiftly relocated himself far away again, causing Felix to keep chasing him down.
With his evil vision, Wendigo could never use the guise of darkness to escape from him unless he teleported himself millions of kilometers away.
'Umbra Cascade.'
When Wendigo noticed Felix on his tail, he decided to go on offense as he released a torrent of darkness that engulfed everything in its path.
Since the void realm was already as dark as a moonless night, it did not seem like he had released anything, causing Felix to get engulfed within it.
'Umbra entrapment.'
The moment he was caught, Wendigo activated the second part of his attack, causing Felix to get assaulted by multiple fear-inducing mental attacks.
'Argh...'
Felix felt like his brain was under a constant barrage as his mental defenses might be able to stop the attacks from achieving their end goal, but the attacks made him feel like he was being assaulted by a Sledgehammer!
But, Wendigo was not done yet.
In the midst of their enthralling battle, Wendigo suddenly drew back, his form becoming a looming silhouette against the void.
Dark energy swirled around him, condensing and gaining intensity as he focused his power. "Enough of this dance," his voice echoed eerily throughout the void,
"Behold the might of the abyss!"
And then, in a split second, he released the built-up energy!!
The Dark Matter Nova erupted from him like a newborn star, the sheer force of the blast released not an ounce of light particle, but its destructiveness was even more powerful than a hundred nukes going off!!
The ominous, pitch-black wave of power source pulsed outwards, engulfing everything in its path and casting the void into deeper obscurity!
This calamitous burst of power, a dark sun casting a terrifying shadow on the realm of the void.
The wave crashed over Felix, the harsh dark energy attempting to tear at his defenses. But, Felix didn't let it be.
'Expand!!'
He enlarged the concept. destruction power source to cover his entire body after marking dark matter.
This allowed him to emerge safe after the explosion settled down.
Before Wendigo could react to his useless attack against Felix's overpowered defenses, he was forced into swiftly evading an incoming flying dark—purple needle that was covered in a crimson mist!
He did not know what it was and his instincts screamed at him to avoid it at all costs.
'As expected, it will be difficult to hit him with nine steps of damnation this directly.' Felix retracted his finger at the sight, not planning to use this attack again.
He had already mastered Jormungandr's most powerful offensive ability, Nine Steps of Damnation, which would have allowed him to poison Wendigo's soul and even control it to his desire!
Alas, even the tiniest needle to deliver this potent poison was easily dodgeable if there was no proper build—up.
Fighting in the void realm was just as much annoying to Felix as it enforced him to cover his elemental abilities in concept destruction power source to keep them safe.
Eee Eee!
Suddenly, Nimo made his own move after noticing that Felix was struggling to land a hit on the slippery Wendigo.
'What the hell?!' Wendigo's expression turned pale as he suddenly realized that the void power source around him was growing more and more potent by the millisecond!
His darkness barriers were falling faster than his own thoughts, forcing him to do nothing but keep creating new ones!
Nimo might not be as great as his alter ego, but he could definitely make Wendigo's life hell in his own realm!
'Good one, Nimo!' Felix grinned coldly and took advantage of Wendigo's inability to jump around.
In an almost casual movement, he reared his arm back, the imposing form of Cosmosbreaker glinting with a deadly aura — its blade was covered in a dangerous layer of soul poison!
The blade pulsated with a ghastly light, its poison threatening to corrode the very essence of life.
With a sudden forward thrust, he hurled Cosmosbreaker toward Wendigo, the weapon cutting through the void like a comet!
Its path was unerring, the blade aimed directly at Wendigo's heart.
The silence of the void was broken only by the lethal hum of the poison—covered blade slicing through nothingness!!
Wendigo watched as a death in the form of the poisoned blade rapidly approached.
He showed no fear; only cold, calculating eyes that saw through the deadly intent.
In the final fraction of a moment, Wendigo invoked his most trusted escape ability, Darkness Relocation!
Chapter 1373: Nimo's Domination
Supremacy Games
1373 Nimo's Domination
His form turned into an ethereal cloud of darkness, dissipating and reappearing somewhere else in the void realm, narrowly avoiding the lethal strike.
Even with Nimo's lockdown and Felix's hasty actions, it. was still not enough to land a hit on Wendigo.
Eee Eee!
Nimo didn't seem too pleased with his failure, as he ditched Felix behind him and rushed in the direction of Wendigo, sensing his existence even though there was a significant distance between them.
'Nim...Forget it, he can handle him alone in the void realm.' Felix was worried for a second, hut then, he realized that he needed to be worried for Wendigo.
Nimo might not be able to face Wendigo in the matter universe properly due to the lack of experience but in the void realm. He had all the tools to make his life a living hell, and force him to continue running away!
So, instead of going after them and holding Nimo's back, Felix returned to Manananggal's side and did something no one would have expected.
He made It'lanananggal wear his void suit and then he took him out of the aircraft. Without hesitation, he took off in the opposite direction.
As for him combating the void energy? He used nonother than concept destruction energy to cover himself and marked void energyll
'Its erasure prowess isn't as good as with other elements, but it's better than nothing.' Felix commentated as he watched his destruction particles fighting off against the void energy.
Since both energies were destructive in nature, they were seeking to eliminate each other. However, his destruction energy was coming on top as it was the origin of destruction itself.
'Check on Nimo quickly.' Asna rushed him with a concerned tone.
While Felix knew that Nimo would be fine, he still switched his focus to his wisp inside Nimo's consciousness space...Then, he saw everything in front of Nimo.
'Damn, he must be wondering if he was fighting against the paragon of sins.'
Felix expressed with a sympathetic look at the sight of Nimo creating seven versions of himselfand each one was wielding a sin law as they surrounded the stunned Wendigo.
He hit the nail right in the head.
'What the f*ck is this?' Wendigo kept looking around him, sizing up each copy of Nimo and its sin symbol above their heads.
He didn't feel an ounce of elemental energy coming from them, which made it confirmed that Nimo was wielding all the laws of the seven sins!
This removed any more suspicion of Nimo being a more unique void creature.
Eee Eee!
Nimo controlled the clone that used the Law of Greed, tapping into its magnificent power. Though, even as the laws' guardian, he still had to pay a steep price to invoke its powers.
His energy wavered for a moment before allowing his consciousness to fragment. The essence of him, a fragment of awareness, detached and got devoured, as the price for invoking such a mighty law.
Eee Ee...
He grimaced, the pain sharp but transient...But, it was worth it.
Reality around them seemed to quiver, as though a stone had been thrown into the tranquil pond that was the universe.
A sphere of distorted reality formed around Wendigo, an area manipulated by the power of Greed. Within this sphere, all was subjugated to Nimo's will!
'What is this...'
A rush of fear crossed Wendigo's features as he felt his control over the darkness element wane, slipping away like water through his fingers...llis powers were smothered, as though under a thick blanket, leaving him stripped of his natural abilities.
'I can't feel the darkness around me or in me...What the hell did he do?'
Wendigo felt completely naked in this new environment as he kept trying to connect with the darkness particles, but none were responsive!
If Nimo could speak, he would have told him that he used his greed law to wish for the erasure of darkness particles in this entire area. c It was like he made a request to the universe and the universe obliged!
Eee Eee!
Nimo wasn't done yet as he took control of his clone responsible for the law of envy.
Then, he used its unfathomable powers to transform his clone into his father, possessing all of his abilitiesl skills, and even his overpowered physical strength, becoming a deity in the blink of an eye!
Eee Bee!
The only thing he couldn't copy was Felix's intelligence as Nimo still squealed while making his move.
He extended his palm forward and released a torrent of uncontrollable destruction energy in the direction of Wendigo.
He might have copied Felix's stuff, but he wasn't anywhere close to using them as effectively as him.
This allowed Wendigo to evade this apparent attack even when his darkness control was taken from him in the area.
'Damn, if Nimo merged with his alter ego and possessed his intelligence back, he will be unstoppable...Unigins sure are scary.'
Felix commentated as he watched Nimo completely pressuring Wendigo with all sorts of attacks.
There was no plan, no thought process behind his attacks, but they were deadly enough to make Wendigo not stop moving for even a second!
What's worse? He could not create any more shields to protect himself from the void energy.
'Sh*t., Sh*t, sh*t., I can not stay here for another second!'
Wendigo's expression kept getting uglier and uglier as the void energy was starting to eat into him for real and he could do nothing to stop it.
The worst pa rt, he had completely lost track of Felix and his partner, making him understand that even if he managed to survive Nimo's onslaught by some miracle,he wouldn't be able to fulfill his mission.
Still, he wasn't planning to leave empty—handed.
'I'll take you with me if I have to!'
Without an ounce of hesitation, Wendigo used his ultimate ability...Eclipse Consciousness!
His eyes glowed ominously, his form a specter in the void.
Summoning all his will into his eyes, they turned into pools of eternal darkness as they focused on Nimo's colorful eyes.
As he gazed deeper into them, the darkness within Nimo began to reflect in Wendigo's eyes, giving him the weapon he needed to take him down.
The darkness particles in the area might have been eliminated, but the darkness within Nimo was still there.
Vet, Nimo remained eerily calm...in fact, he seemed somewhat curious about the rising shadowy tendrils that were reaching out to his soul barrier, ready to swallow it whole and cast his consciousness into the deepest abyss.
However, the moment the darkness tendrils made contact with Nimo's soul, something incredible happened.
A fierce, invisible resistance met the intruding darkness...'1'he shadowy tendrils recoiled, shriveling back as though burned by an unseen flame!
The Eclipse of Consciousness, a technique that had felled countless foes, retracted in the face of Nimo's soul.
The insidious darkness skulked back, whimpering like a cowed wolf facing a superior adversary.
'Impossible...'
Wendigo's confident smirk faded, replaced with a look of genuine shock. He expected some resistance from Nimo's soul, but he never thought in his wildest dreams that it would react in this manner!
'Am I really facing the Parag...Aghh!!'
Alas, before he could react to this duinbfounding situation, the void power source had finally gotten hold of his body and caused him grave agony as his cells began to disintegrate.
Albeit unwillingly, Wendigo was forced to use darkness relocation and escape to the matter universe, recreating his body using the cosmic dark matter...
Eee Eee! Eee Eee!
'...'
'...'
'...'
Felix and the tenants did not know what to think at the sight of Nimo skipping happily in the direction of Felix after defeating one of the most fearsome primogenitors in the universe.
He seemed not to care about such things but more about receiving praise and belly rubs from Felix as a reward.
Chapter 1374: The Day Of Judgement. I
Supremacy Games
1374 The Day of Judgement. I
When Nimo caught up to Felix, a rare gentle smile was seen playing on his lips. He picked up Nimo, his stern facade softening into a more congenial one, one that Nimo had been familiar with in their quieter, peaceful moments.
"Good job, Nimo, " Felix said, his voice warm with praise.
He extended his hand, not for a warrior's clasp but for a more affectionate gesture. His fingers sank into Nimo's thick fur, gently moving in rhythmic patterns that spelled out the universally loved act - belly rubs.
Eee Eee!
Nimo's eyes glowed with the soft pleasure, his previously stalwart stance slackening as he reveled in the affectionate reward.
He let out a low, contented purr, the tensions of the recent battle ebbing away under Felix's gentle ministrations.
The void realm around them, previously a battlefield riddled with heavy tension and high stakes, now felt more like a serene starless night.
After showering him with some deserving love, he packed up and took off into the darkness, knowing that it was possible for Wendigo to return again.
Unbeknownst to him, Lord Dune had left the moment he was done with his end of the bargain, leaving Wendigo strapped on the matter universe while his partner was still inside.
Recognizing that it would too difficult for him to hold two primogenitors at once, Wendigo informed his partner.
'the mission is off, I have failed to save Manananggal.'
'What do you mean?!' Saurous wasn't pleased in the slightest by the news.
Here he was being forced into defense to buy time for his partner, just for him to fail in less than a minute.
'I will explain later, you have to leave now. They can surround you from four sides and with that monster on their side, I can't guarantee your survival.' Wendigo warned with a somewhat fearful tone as he envisioned Nimo's appearance.
'...Fine.'
While Saurous had no clue what. he was talking about, he still complied with his partners' wishes, knowing that he would never behave like this if it wasn't serious.
"This isn't over, we will keep coming at you again and again until you free our brother." Saurous left a cold threat behind as he launched his ultimate ability, causing both Fenrir and Lady Sphinx to put a significant distance between each other.
"Too bad, you don't have such luxury." Fenrir sneered as he watched Saurous disappear into the depth of his black hole.
He understood that the darkins believed that their plan was to keep their partner sealed inside the void realm, which implied giving them all the time in the universe to save him.
Alas, they had no clue that Felix was getting closer and closer to putting an end to their brother's life...
...
Sometime later...
Wendigo and Saurous had grouped up on the matter universe on an isolated planet. Wendigo had already told him about what happened during his chase, which left Saurous somewhat stunned.
"He even blocked your ultimate ability? Most primogenitors can't do that." Saurous expressed with a deep frown, not liking this development one bit.
"His strength and wicked powers give off the paragon of sins' vibes, but his entire identity isn't even close to the real one." Wendigo disclosed, "I don't know what the hell is that thing and I really don't desire to be near it ever again in the void realm."
"Tough luck, if we desire to save Manananggal, we have to find a way to deal with it." Saurous sighed in frustration, having no idea how things developed this terribly.
"How about we visit the paragon of sins? That demon referred to her as his mother, which means there is a high chance of her being awake." Wendigo narrowed his eyes coldly, "We can tell her about this new copy of hers and see her reaction. "
"There is a massive chance it might backfire on us, but at this point, we are really running out of options."
Saurous found his plan to be too dangerous as it was known that the paragon was unhinged and she might start her day by getting rid of them first.
But, there was not much to be done as they could not afford another deal with Lord Dune and the other primogenitors had rejected them. '
"Let's think of a different plan on the way."
Still, both of them took off toward the darkness well, knowing that beggars can't be choosers.
...
On the other side, Felix had regrouped with Lady Sphinx and Fenrir...
Felix and Lady Sphinx had been huddled over the complex holographic gene map for hours. The projections highlighted the numerous strands of Manananggal's DNA, each shimmering with potential — a labyrinth of genetic complexity that held the secret to his true immortality.
Lady Sphinx, her truth eyes scanning the intricate network, suddenly froze. Her eyes flickered with the sharp glint of recognition, and she pointed at a particular strand.
"Here. This is it," she said, her voice steady with certainty. "The cluster that will kick off the least destructive chain of genes connected to true immortality's cluster."
Felix studied the gene she indicated, his brow furrowing. lie was silent for a moment before turning to Lady Sphinx, his eyes meeting hers with grave intensity. "Are you certain we can do this without...?"
"Killing him?" Lady Sphinx finished, understanding the gravity of Felix's hesitation. "Yes. But it won't be without consequences. Erasing this gene cluster will cripple him, severely. He will lose functions, his strength will diminish, and he'll be reduced to a shadow of his former self. He might even lose half of his brain's functions and be a vegetable.'
"But, he won't die." Felix smiled coldly, "Which is all I need."
Felix looked back at the genetic blueprint, his heart pounding in his chest...Then, he turned to his master and Felix nodded, giving Lady Sphinx the affirmation she needed.
And so, they began their meticulous work, the grim resolution on their faces mirroring the gravity of the task at hand.
With the gene cluster of interest pinpointed, Felix and Lady Sphinx began their meticulous task.
Felix's finger, glowing with crimson energy, traced along the glowing strand. As he touched the critical sequence, it flared brightly before starting to disintegrate.
It was as though a fuse had been lit, with the fire spreading down the entire sequence, igniting the connected strands in a cascade of genetic destruction!
Lady Sphinx stepped in, her sand abilities morphing into microscopic granules that acted as scalpels, cutting through the genomic linkages, further isolating the 'immortality sequence.'
With each incision, the chain reaction grew, spreading throughout the genetic structure, and severing the strands related to Manananggal's immortality!
Their combined powers worked in harmony, a master and a student, systematically annihilating the complex sequence that was Manananggal's bane and boon.
The ethereal glow of the DNA hologram flickered, disrupted by the destruction happening within.
As the final strand of the immortality gene sequence disintegrated, the effects on Manananggal's physical form were swift and catastrophic.
'His body is falling apart, are you sure about. this?' Asna asked, seemingly concerned at the state of Manananggal's body.
As the final strand of the immortality gene sequence disintegrated, the effects on Manananggal's physical form were swift and catastrophic.
His once—impenetrable skin, the embodiment of immortal vitality, faded from its original vibrant hue to a dull, sallow pallor like parchment long forgotten.
It shriveled, clinging tightly to his bones, the underlying musculature having melted away, leaving his figure a mere shadow of its former self.
His once formidable physique, strong with centuries of accrued strength, seemed to evaporate before their eyes.
The muscles that had once been cords of steel underneath his skin dissolved, his sinews shrinking and losing their density.
His broad shoulders drooped, his once bulging arms and solid chest became thin and skeletal, his body reminiscent of a gnarled, ancient tree stripped bare in the heart of winter.
His eyes, once fiery and full of malevolent vitality, dimmed, becoming vacant.
The sheen of his hair faded, turning to a frail silver—white, falling around his gaunt face like a ghostly shroud.
His teeth, once sharp and threatening, crumbled in his mouth, leaving his gums a barren wasteland.
The sight was horrifying, resembling a live zombification of a once respected and feared deity...
Manananggal had no idea about any of this as his mind was trapped in another universe...A universe, he wished nothing but to escape from.
Though, one could only wonder how would he behave if he woke up and realized that his timeless reign had reached its end...
"It's done..."
"We did it."
Felix and Lady Sphinx looked at each other, their faces reflecting a mixture of triumph and solemn realization of what this implied...The first primogenitor to die in a real fight was going to be the one considered unkillable by the entire populace.
"The irony of this situation is hard to fly by anyone's head." Thor uttered, gulping a big mouthful of alcohol at the sight of his once hateful nemesis being turned into an empty husk...
"Are you going to do it now or stick to the plan?" Asna asked, her eyes focusing on her lover.
"I have had my revenge, but justice can be served only when it's done in public." Felix stated with a firm tone, "Manananggal's execution will be a public event and all the aggrieved parties who suffered under him will be served their closure once and for all..."
While Earth was blown out and more than forty billion lives had been ended in an instant, those forty billion had connections to many other people outside of the planet.
Felix always wanted to give them their rightful closure by ending the life of the culprit right in front of them...It was the least he could do.
Without further ado, he got outside of the void realm with his party and requested with a earnest expression. "Queen, please turn on the stream and make sure to share it as an emergency, overriding all active streams at the moment."
Chapter 1375: The Day Of Judgement. II
Supremacy Games
1375 The Day of Judgement. II
The moment Queen Ai did as he ordered, the entire universe was turned into a platform for Manananggal's execution.
Besides the private streams, all screens across the UVR and the real world began showing Felix and the disturbing husk of Manananggal, kneeling in front of him.
Felix used his illusion domain to create the perfect execution stage in outer space. It was a bloody throne and Manananggal was chained to it, making everyone
questing what their eyes were feeding them.
[What's the grand supreme doing? And who is that skeleton?]
[Wow, is that really an execution stage? What did that poor thing do to anger our lord?]
[Landlord!! I love you!!]
The stream chats across the entire universe were packed with mixed comments, but the majority were focusing on the identity of Manananggal.
In fact, even if Manananggal wasn't looking like a zombie, almost everyone would still not recognize him as primogenitors' identities were kept secret at all costs.
But, the same reaction didn't occur in the primogenitors and the inner circle councils.
"What the...ls that really Malia?" Kumiho covered her mouth in shock.
"They actually caught him? What have they done to him? Why didn't he kill himself already?" Erebus fixed his posture into a serious one.
He knew that Manananggal was an irritating opponent due to his ability to blow his soul and start fresh again, and no one could take it away from him.
Yet, here he was, before all of his peers and the mortals he despised, appearing as worthless as a fugitive living in a sewer.
"Looks like the grand supreme is finally going to get his revenge...Though, doesn't he know that killing him will be doing him a favor? It can't be.." King Treznor commentated as he watched the stream with the rest of the inner circle leaders.
"Maybe he is doing this to humiliate him?"
"Most likely. "
All the inner circle leaders nodded in agreement.
Before they could continue their discussion, Felix opened his mouth, his voice, deep and steady, echoed not just within the chamber but in countless homes, taverns,and public spaces.
"Good evening, citizens. Tonight marks a turning point in my long fight against tyranny and evil."
The bracelet projected a live image of Manananggal, his frail body barely visible in the dim lighting, chained to the once majestic throne now covered in crimson stains.
The once mighty deity was now reduced to a hollow shell, his grim image a stark contrast to his former invincibility.
"A lot of you won't recognize him, but this Fiend's name has spelled doom, death, and despair for innumerable lives...But tonight, justice will be served."
Felix began listing Manananggal's heinous crimes, his words painting a chilling picture of the monstrosities committed.
"He is the culprit behind the destruction of my home planet, the death of tens of billions of lives, and most importantly, the start of the war between the void nation and the three allied races, which almost ended with their extinction...Even worse, he has been known for cannibalism of fetuses." Felix paused, letting the weight of each crime sink in amongst the silent listeners.
When everyone heard the last part, shivers coursed down their spines.
Everyone was used to wars, fights, deaths, and such, but when it came to eating fetuses? Even the most hardcore of them all couldn't help but feel their hearts set ablaze!
"BASTARD!!"
Meanwhile, Saurous and Wendigo were left absolutely fuming after seeing how their brother's name was being soiled in public and before no other than petty mortals and their peers.
"Relax...He can curse him as much as he wants as long as he kills him." Wendigo said coldly.
While this situation was humiliating, he would rather have this way than seek plans to rescue their partner from the belly of the void realm.
Plus, he knew that even if they wanted to rescue him right now, it would be impossible without Lord Osiris or Lord Loki's belp...Even Lord Dune wouldn't be helpful'
since Felix's spatial tracks were left in the depth of the void realm and they had no clue about its initial location.
So, they could only sit tight and watch the situation unfold.
"And now," Felix said, turning his steely gaze back to the figure chained to the throne. "In front of trillions of witnesses, justice will not be denied. Let his downfall serve as a stern reminder that no one, not even the seemingly immortal, is beyond the reach of karma."
He reached out, and the bracelet zoomed in on the figure of Manananggal, capturing every twitch, every shudder of the once great terror.
Felix had finally awakened him from his everlasting nightmare as he did not want to execute him without him knowing about it.
As Manananggal opened his eyes slowly, the darkins, the primogenitors, and even the inner circle leaders were left stunned.
"Is he crazy?"
"He will kill himself at the first second and take him too!"
"What is he up to?"
All of them believed that the instant Manananggal regain his consciousness, he would blow his soul and take Felix with him.
Alas, what happened next changed their entire assumption...
Manananggal's eyes snapped open to reveal dilated pupils that darted frantically about, struggling to take in his surroundings.
'Where am I? Is this another new cycle? What else did he plan for me? Why is my body so weak?"
Manananggal felt an immediate sense of horror coursing through him...His surroundings were unfamiliar while his body seemed to have been made out of chopsticks.
When he saw Felix standing in front of him, he actually felt relieved...Relieved that his imprisoner had finally decided to show up. But, his anger still had taken the best of him.
"I spent three million years inside that cursed castle." Manananggal gritted what remained of his teeth. "Why did you show up? Are you planning to change the torture method? If so, do it quickly and f*ck off."
While his voice sounded husky and almost inaudible like he had no energy to speak, it still caused the viewers to either be left confused or stunned.
Three million years? Torture? No one knew what. he was talking about, not even his partners, which made him seem like a madman who had lost his mind.
"No more torture, it's time for you to join the universe as cosmic dust. " Felix uttered calmly while he was lifting his magnificent Cosmosbreaker axe above Manananggal's head.
The shimmering sharp blade was covered in crimson mist as Felix had no plans to send Manananggal into the spirit realm.
"What are you doing? Cough! Cough!"
Suddenly, Manananggal's vision became blurry as he coughed a great quantity of black blood into the ground.
"What did you do to me..." He muttered, his muddled eyes focused on the sickly-looking black blood.
When he looked deeply into it, it finally dawned upon him that he could not feel his immense life force and longevity in it.
It was like the blood of a three days dead cow, something that should have never been associated with the blood primogenitor.
"I have just removed your most trusted source of confidence." Felix shared with an indifferenl. tone. "You are no longer immortal."
"You're lying... This is another illusion, no one can take away my immortality, no one!"
The more Manananggal tried to scream, the lower and huskier his voice had gotten like his own throat could not support such effort.
"Believe as you will, but tell me this." Felix asked calmly, "Do you wish to bestow your blood manipulation upon me to preserve it?"
While it sounded shameless to ask for one's manipulation while being his executioner, Felix really wanted to take it to preserve it.
He had no intentions of keeping it on him as he planned on passing it over to his friends or someone worthy of it.
He had only one last spot for a perfect manipulation and he had no intentions of using it for blood element.
Fortunately, he was not even put in such a position in the first place as Manananggal sneered coldly in his face, "I knew it, this is a ploy to take my manipulation from me, which will truly removes my immort..."
"Goodbye."
Slice!
Chapter 1376: The Day Of Judgement. III
Supremacy Games
1376 The Day of Judgement. III
'Huh...'
Manananggal's words were cut off straight from his throat by the cosmosbreaker slicing his neck apart like it was made out of jelly...
As his head floated away in slow motion, countless eyes from across the universe bore witness to the chilling spectacle unfolding before them.
Trillions of heartbeats synchronized in a chilling crescendo of tension, collective breaths held captive as they all watched on with a morbid fascination, their gazes glued to the enormous screens.
The dull thud of his head falling lifeless on the ground rang loud in the deathly silence.
'...'
'...'
'...'
Whether it was the comments section, the primogenitors' assembly, or the inner circle hall. Everyone was hit by an indescribable shock wave that rippled through their hearts.
While the citizens reacted to this brutal execution sight, the primogenitors and leaders' felt chills course on their spines at the notion that Felix might have truly killed a primogenitor.
"He really went for it, what an id..."
Just as Saurous was about to mock Felix's stupidity, certain that his brother would be revived in a few hours, the universe had shattered his confidence into pieces...
RUMBLE RUMBLE!!!
A phenomenal jolt seemed to shake the universe. The thrill of witnessing the unprecedented event surged across galaxies and solar systems like a wave, tearing through time and space.
In response, the cosmos quivered, giving birth to the extraordinary event — Universal Thunderclap!
The sound erupted in the minds of every being across the universe, a cosmic applause that shook the very foundation of their existence!
It wasn't heard through the cars; it was felt, deep down in the core of their being, as if the universe itself was rejoicing at the end of a horrifying era.
Spectators near and far felt the shockwaves of the celestial event, their senses bombarded with overwhelming vibrations.
Each clap was a booming testament to the end of a reign of terror, each echoing resonance a tribute to Felix's achievement.
It was as if the universe itself was cheering for the vanquisher of a primogenitor, a human rising from a mortal to a deity and slaying one of the universe's gifts.
A feat no one thought was possible before!
"it can't be..."
"Impossible..."
The darkins felt like they're hit by a thunderbolt at the horrid implication of the universe's reaction after their brother got killed.
They knew what it meant, all primogenitors knew what it meant, yet none of them dared to believe it...
In the heart of the execution ground, Felix stood tall and resolute. His gaze is cold and unwavering as he looked down upon the lifeless form of Manananggal, his enemy, his nightmare, now no more than a lifeless heap at his feet.
As the magnitude of the moment seeped into their consciousness, a chilling sense of; finality hung in the air.
The deed was done...The nightmare was over and, the universe exhaled, the echoes of Manananggal's reign of terror fading into the annals of cosmic history.
Without voicing a single word, Felix turned around and shut down the stream, returning everyone to watching the previous active streams.
Yet, no one focused on those streams as their minds were consumed with too many unanswered questions...
While the citizens had no one to turn to, Erebus, Cherufe, and the rest of the primogenitors reached out to the one and only person with the answer.
"Lord Osiris. Has Manananggal really died?"
Variations of this question were sent akin to a bullet barrage on Lord Osiris' inbox from all primogenitors, dearly seeking to know the truth.
The universe's celebration confirmed it by 99%, but they still felt that there was no way Manananggal would get off this easily.
Alas, Lord Osiris sent them all one response.
"His death string was erased from reality and it's not being recreated again."
This answer sent goosebumps across everyone's skin as they realized that Manananggal didn't just die, but had his soul erased from existence.
Death strings being cut implied there was a chance of them emerging together and bringing the lost life.
But, when they were erased? It was like Manananggal's soul never existed before.
All of this would not have drawn much of a reaction from them if it was not for the second part of his statement.
"They actually did it, how...Iust how?" Elder Aspidochelone wondered with a dazed look as he sit with his peers, who shared the same reaction.
"Even if he used concept destruction and erased his soul, a new one can always be created using his ultimate ability...But, to make that even impossible, how did they pull it off?"
"Manananggal was talking about illusion and illusion domain, maybe the boy has used Lord Loki's bloodline and taken advantage of his godly domain?" Siren guessed.
"The only way to find out is by asking them directly, but I doubt they will entertain our inquiries." Kumiho bit her nails in irritation as her curiosity was killing her.
"Do you think they will answer us if we proposed we add their student to our assembly?" Jorogumo suggested, her playful smile seeming to speak with an ulterior motive.
"The hell, a primogenitor has just been slain by the hands of a previous mortal and you're suggesting we add him to our circle?" Cherufe retorted, his nostrils set in flames.
"That's exactly why I am suggesting to add him." Jorogumo said, "He has just slain a primogenitor, something that none of us were able to pull off even after billions of years. Having him on our side is better than not."
"You have a good point, but I also agree with Cherufe." Erebus shook his head, "This isn't the time to even bring this matter up."
"Indeed, what will he think of us?"
"He might actually think we are afraid of him."
"True."
While everyone seemed in favor of adding Felix to their circle, none of them wanted to do it right now.
As for finding out about how he got rid of Manananggal, well, they could only be patient and bury their burning curiosity.
It might seem weird that none of them showed any sympathetic feelings toward one of their peers' death, but it really wasn't...The darkins had fallen too hard from grace with all of their shenanigans.
After they decided to use their descendants as hostages, enmity was already starting to emerge between them.
So, even if all three of them died, none of them would feel an ounce of sadness or mourn for their passing.
On the other hand, the darkins had a totally opposite reaction after finding out the truth from Lord Osiris...
A seething rage boiled within Saurous and Wendigo, their minds tainted with baleful darkness as the death of their partner reverberated through their consciousness.
Staring out into the vast cosmic landscape, the stars shimmering like so many watching eyes, their anguish morphed into unadulterated wrath...
"I'll kill him...I will kill them all...I WILL KILL THEM ALL!"
With a roar of fury that split the silence of space, Saurous flexed his control over gravity.
He clenched his fist, and in response, the nearest star convulsed under the immense gravitation, its celestial body imploding in an explosive supernova that painted the nearby galaxies in streaks of fiery radiance...
The remnants of the dying star were left to scatter aimlessly, becoming echoes of its former glory.
Planets trembled in their orbits, yanked out of their tranquil paths by the unleashed gravity, and either shattered into cosmic debris or hurled into the depths of the black void...
Wendigo, on the other hand, transformed his hatred into a tangible force, his darkness spreading outwards like a corrosive mist.
Whole celestial bodies got shrouded in this murk, their vibrant existence quickly fading away. Stars that once twinkled with warmth and life now flickered feehly before being snuffed out entirely.
His eerie darkness consumed planets in its wake, their surface swiftly disintegrating and vanishing into oblivion.
The realms of space around them transformed into a barren wasteland, a testament to their profound wrath...
Their bereavement resonated through the cosmos as they vented their sorrow and rage, transforming solar systems into cosmic graveyards.
Their brotherhood which lasted for more than five billion years had finally been broken.
The worst part? Manananggal's soul had been erased, which meant they could not even visit or meet him in the spirit realm.
He was gone once and for all, and they could not accept their reality...
"One down, two more to go."
As they vented their rage and anger, they had no clue that Felix was already preparing himself for his next target, for his next prey, and for his next revenge!
Chapter 1377: A New Partnership.
Supremacy Games
1377 A New Partnership.
After spending days venting their anguish and anger on anything in sight, the darkins had finally put an end to it.
"What do we do now...we have lost the council's support, we have antagonized Lord Khaos, and now we have lost our brother...Everything is going to sh*t." Wendigo muttered, his desolate eyes were seen affixed on the eternal darkness before him, his work of art.
"Everything started going to sh*t the moment we met that wretch." Saurous uttered coldly, "I don't care what happens to me, I am not going to settle down until I make sure the last strand of his soul is extinguished."
The death of their brother had established an eternal enmity between the parties and nothing said or done was ever going to change it.
Felix had no issues with this as he had no intentions of dropping his revenge plans anytime soon.
Whoosh!!
"Whose there!"
Out of the chaotic storm of cosmic annihilation, a figure of singular power emerged.
Lucifer, draped in robes of shifting crimson shadows, seemed to glide through the void...llis eyes, cosmic orbs of gold, held an ethereal gleam as they settled on the grieving Darkins.
"You... How?"
The darkins retracted their aggression as it was replaced by stunned looks at the sight of Lucifer, alive and breathing.
When they witnessed how Felix had eliminated Lucifer using totality collapse, they were 100% certain that he was dead, dead...That ability was simply too destructive and even the demon lord should not be able to survive it.
Yet, here he was.
"Saurous, Wendigo," his voice echoed through the emptiness, a soothing balm against the relentless backdrop of their rage—induced destruction.
He extended his hand, palm upward, and a brilliant glow sparked into existence, casting a surreal illumination over the desolate light of galaxies. "My condolences for your loss. Manananggal was a formidable being and he didn't deserve to go out in that shameful manner."
Before they could respond, he declared with a cold stare, filled with unhindered hatred that commanded their attention. "I am offering you my alliance, your pain is your fuel, but your rage blinds you. You seek revenge, and I have the means to grant it."
With everything that Lucifer had watched, he. realized that ambushing Felix at his weakest moment wasn't a viable option any longer.
If he kept waiting and bidding his time, the remaining darkins could get eliminated and he would be truly left all alone against him and his faction.
"Alliance? You have the means to grant it?" Saurous scoffed, "Bold words from someone who got eliminated without. even touching that brat's hair strand."
Lucifer wasn't too pleased with his provocative statement, but he didn't argue back with him on it.
"I agree, I have shown a shameful performance when I fought him, and I won't make any excuses for it." Lucifer stated, "But, I have returned stronger than ever and geared with tools to both resist his illusion abilities and end his reign."
"Illusion abilities... He must have really put our brother in an illusion domain." Wendigo frowned... Their assumption was finally confirmed and this didn't please them one bit.
They knew that their fate would have been the same or even worse if they were caught inside the illusion domain without knowing about it.
"Our brother had no chance at all against him...Curse that bastard Lord Loki, how can he give up on his f*king domain so easily?!"
In the end, both of them switched their anger to Lord Loki, knowing that an elemental lord of his status should cherish his domain more than anything.
For him to hand it out so easily made them extremely pissed off.
"Don't get sidetracked, our target is Felix and only Felix." Lucifer narrowed his eyes coldly.
"Our? Don't lump us with you just yet." Saurous sneered. "First, tell us everything we need to know about your supposed mother and your true motive from that rogue. Then, we will consider whether to work with you or not."
"I thought you would ask that."
Lucifer created a throne from evil energy and sat on it before them...Then, he confessed everything without holding back, knowing that primogenitors could detect '5 lies from miles away.
When he was done explaining his situation, the darkins didn't know how to react
'Other half? Ascension? Demon God? Does he think we are in a video game or a novel?' Saurous looked at his partner, seeking help to believe this lunatic.
'He doesn't seem to be lying, so he might be either on to something, or he is just delusional.' Wendigo knitted his eyebrows, 'Though if his mother was really the paragon of sins and she is responsible for his 'mission', then as peculiar as it sounds, we know how strange unigins are.'
'Mmmm.' Saurous looked back at Lucifer and asked with a solemn tone, "As much as you claim yourself to be out of use, I don't think so. But, you can help us convince your mother to give us a hand. At least, to take care of her void creature."
'Void creature? He must be talking about that raccoon.'
Nimo's cute image surfaced in Lucifer's mind immediately.
Since he couldn't enter the void realm or remain in it for a prolonged period without his mother being around, he wasn't able to follow Felix and the darkins inside and watch their battle.
But, he was still able to guess what happened as he had experienced Nimo's prowess personally and knew that he could be considered a primogenitor too. Unfortunately, his response had disappointed them.
"That's not happening, my mother was forced into slumber after using her powers to revive me." Lucifer shook his head, "It's doubtful if she will wake up anytime soon."
"Sh*t."
"..."
Saurous and Wendigo wanted him to be lying so badly, but there wasn't an ounce of deceit. This caused their original plan of seeking the l'aragon's help to go up to flames before they could even cross half the distance.
"Like it or not, I am your only ally in the entire universe and it will be truly foolish of you to reject my proposal because of your pride." Lucifer disclosed, his eyes glinting with unspoken promises, his aura radiating an unyielding resolve. "Take my hand and we will deliver a blow that will shake the universe to its very core, and Felix shall learn the true meaning of despair."
Saurous and Wendigo looked at each other in silence for a few seconds... Then, both of them dropped most of their guard and said simultaneously, "'What do you have in mind?"
They knew that he was right...Their options were too limited and they were already outnumbered, making them incapable of turning hack free help.
"We'll lay low and stay low until the SGAlliance conquers the seven demon realms and turn it into one of its esteem territories," Lucifer smiled coldly, "Then, we'll strike everyone indiscriminately until their leader will have no choice but to get smoked outside."
"..."
"..."
The plan was neither unique, smart nor out of the box. Yet, the darkins knew that there weren't many options to bait out Felix.
Using his people was always the fastest and easiest method...The only downside was angering even the other primogenitors since they would be attacking the alliance for real and there was no way the primogenitors would sit and watch.
"If we angered the entire council, even if we killed that bastard and his faction, we'll have no place in the entire universe." Wendigo frowned, "It's nothing different than a death sentence."
As much as they wanted to avenge their brother and kill Felix, they weren't foolish to aggravate tens of primogenitors at once...Their previous plan was to kidnap the troops to bait out Felix and leave them at peace, which should have irritated the primogenitors but not pushed them to make a move.
"Then, let me handle it." Lucifer offered with a faint cold smile, "No one knows we work together."
Saurous and Wendigo traded glances and chilling grins couldn't help but blossom on their lips, an acknowledgment of their agreement.
A couple of days later...
"Anything?"
"Nope, I already told you that they have taken their bracelets off." Lord Loki answered while placing a card on the table.
"That's disappointing, I thought they will be making a big fuss to find me." Felix shook his head.
Felix had found out about the utter destruction left behind by the darkins during their venting process, but this was not what he wanted.
He knew that their brother's death would take a toll on them and give rise to them to seek him out. for vengeance.
He even left behind him clues of his location to bait them while they're at their most vulnerable state.
Yet days went by and nothing of such happened... He did not even receive a curse from them, which honestly had risen some questions in his mind.
"Just keep your guard up, they won't let this slide and it's clear that they're in control of their emotions, so they will come at you harder than ever." Thor advised with a earnest tone.
"I understand." Felix cracked his neck with a faint cold smirk, "They can wait all they want, but time isn't in their favor..."
"You finally planning to prepare for the origin realm?" Asna asked.
"It's best to start early." Felix switched his tone to a grave one, "I am trying to go for a natural breakthrough, sol have no idea how much will take me to achieve it if it was even possible to pull it off."
