Chapter 1846 What Has He Become?
1846 What Has He Become?
"Aeolus!"
Artemis called out loud with a terrified expression, but she still sought to a.s.sist him, using her divine bow to fire a powerful green arrow in the direction of Felix.
As the arrow got closer, it suddenly split apart into multiple ones and traveled in different paths, attempting to strike Felix from all sides.
Intrigued, Felix didn't bother to evade them. He made a small gesture with his finger and those arrows were immediately intercepted by a wall of black flames.
The moment contact was made, the arrows broke into their natural state before getting consumed by the black flames, getting a tiny bit stronger.
When everyone saw this, only one reaction was appropriate as a response...Disbelief.
"How...How can it grow without celestial energy..." Athena couldn't help but question out loud.
She already knew that the black celestial flames were too freaky, capable of burning through everything and even remaining to burn for eternity on their own.
However, what they were witnessing was totally different.
The black flames were actually devouring all sources of energy and using them as a source to grow bigger and more terrifying!
The fact it also did it to a divinity was scarier than what was shown.
"I want to let you know, but I can't have my enemies learn about my moves now, can I?" Felix replied with a faint gentle smile, his aura so pacified and serene, like he wasn't in a life-or-death battle.
When he said this, Athena and Artemis knew that he was referring to the three rulers, as his eyes might seem like they were affixed on theirs, but in reality, those two dark vortexes were focused on the three rulers within them.
It was like he could see straight at them right through the spiritual link.
"Agh....ah..."
Suddenly, their eyes were drawn to Aeolus after hearing his whimpering voice. His body was no longer seen, engulfed completely in a pillar of raging black flames, reaching up to hundreds of meters!
With one last soft pained whimper, Aeolus collapsed to a cloud of black ash and flew away by the very wind he commanded...
Not even his Zephyr's blade was spared, burnt, and sucked dry completely.
"This is all he owned, not bad." Felix smiled, as he gestured gracefully for the pillar of black light to return to him.
The pillar of black flames flew in his direction, getting smaller rapidly until it landed on his chest as a drop of black ink, in the shape of a black flame.
Apollo and the others couldn't help but feel their hearts tingling in dread as they stared at Felix's serene demeanor like he didn't just eliminate a unigin and devoured everything about him, leaving him as nothing but a pile of ash...
The worst part? Aeolus was bestowed upon with so many divinities, he could take on at least two unigins simultaneously.
Yet, it didn't even matter...One touch by Felix's black flames was enough to send him back to the eternal kingdom.
'This is it...I was right, this is indeed the key to fulfilling my dream.'
Apollo's dread was swiftly replaced with unfiltered excitement. But, he kept it to himself, wanting to see what was Felix going to do next.
"I still have one last experiment, if you guys don't mind."
Felix seemed to be requesting, but his extended palm in Athena's and Artemis' direction claimed otherwise.
Athena and Artemis glanced at each other and without a single word exchanged, they bolted in different directions, having no interest in battling this scary version of Felix.
They wanted to get away first before enlarging themselves and returning to the eternal kingdom, but alas, neither Felix nor the three rulers were going to allow that.
'You better stay put and fight him with everything you got.' Amun-Ra ordered coldly, 'Or, you won't have a core to return to.'
'Have you lost your mind!' Artemis screamed loudly, 'Didn't you see what we saw! How can we fight something like that?! I doubt even know if you can handle him right now!'
The three rulers' expressions grew cold after hearing her last statement, having their omnipotent strength questioned for the first time ever.
But, they didn't bother calling her for it.
'We saw and we want to see more.' The first ruler said composedly.
Athena and Artemis' expressions turned gloomy, realizing that the three rulers wanted to use them as guinea pigs to extract more information from Felix without caring about their endings.
The sad part, they couldn't even reject it since they held their cores hostage.
'd.a.m.n it!'
Just as they wanted to stop and return to the battlefield, they were suddenly planted face-first on an invisible wall and were sent flying back by the recoil.
"The h.e.l.l?"
Even Apollo was startled by this sight, having no idea what had just happened. He swiftly spread out his senses, his danger senses tingling like never before.
Immediately after, his visage turned grim.
His senses were sealed inside a ma.s.sive invisible cube, unable to pierce through it even when he was able to see the Vibronoxians outside!
"My apologies, but no one is leaving this place until I get what I want." Felix's creepy mild voice resounded in their minds, followed by a snap of a finger.
Then, a gigantic cube made out of blinking colorful squares emerged into the light, leaving them staring at it with a s.h.i.+ver coursing down their spine.
Even Apollo's expression turned for the worst.
"The Dimension of Order..." Athena turned to peer at Felix with a confounded grimace, "When did he put it down? We sensed absolutely nothing...nothing."
She knew that something was different as even Eris couldn't put down her reality without them sensing it beforehand.
"We are done for..." Artemis already accepted her fate with a bitter smile, "I should have hidden myself in the quantum realm when I had my core on me."
None of them bothered to escape anymore, knowing that not even their deities could stop them from falling under Felix's commands.
That's because in this specific dimension, Felix was representing the universe's order and the divinities were part of its systemWhich meant, he could bypa.s.s their effects whenever he desired!
This was exactly what Eris had told Felix when he asked her if there was a way to deal with divinities after he got caught stealing celestial energy.
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
As expected, Felix merely made a gesture with his fingers and both girls were teleported in front of him.
"Ladies, all you have to do is stay beautiful, I will be done in a moment." Felix requested with a delicate smile as he pointed his palm at them.
As they gazed at his palm, they saw the same inked flame, suddenly become alive. Then, they were horrified to witness their deities suddenly getting pulled right from them in the direction of the palm as a long golden beam!
As this beam kept traveling toward the palm, it turned softer and softer until it became white, resembling standard celestial energy. When it was about to touch Felix's palm, it turned into black celestial flames.
This created a celestial beam of three colors, showing a G.o.dly process that had never been witnessed before.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Whether it was the tenants or the unigins, everyone was left gazing at the beam with widened eyes, trying to make sense of this unexplainable phenomenon.
In less than a couple of seconds, both women were left without a drop of deities in them, stripped clean and without pain or mess.
"Much appreciated, now begone." Felix waved them goodbye with a faint smile, "I will come visit you soon enough."
Athena and Artemis didn't know if he was addressing them or the three rulers. Before they could think too much about it, they found their bodies breaking apart into beautiful chaotic particles...
As they gazed at their fading arms with a dazed expression, they slowly lifted their heads to face Felix, believing that he was going to be punished by the universe for abusing his laws.
But, all they saw was Felix still waving his hand at them, his creepy vortex-like pupils affixed on them...
'What has he become...'
This was the last thought coursing through Athana's mind as the final piece of her soul disintegrated.
None of them bothered to even abuse their laws, knowing that he must have disabled their laws within his reality.
They should feel grateful just by the fact he sent them out painlessly compared to Aeolus, who made the mistake of opening his mouth.
"Now, how should I deal with you?"
Suddenly, Felix turned to Apollo with the same delicate smile, but this time, he didn't seem to be hiding the stored rage within him.
