Chapter 1921 The Fallen Kingdom. I
"Felix..." Asna murmured his name with a loving and relieved look, bathing in his G.o.dly and holy presence.
At first look, she understood that his spiritual pressure had ascended past the celestials since his presence was so overwhelming, it made her feel like she was gazing at the universe itself!
Unfortunately for the three rulers, they were also capable of feeling the same.
"This... isn"t possible!"
Amun-Ra muttered at the start, but as he kept watching Felix"s presence continue to grow more powerful, he couldn"t help but bellow furiously, "THIS ISN"T RIGHT!"
"Lower your voice Amun." Ymir remarked after a deep exhale, "We are done."
Medusa"s expression turned ugly, knowing that if even Ymir gave up, it only meant that our situation was truly doomed.
To be honest, deep down, she also knew it.
But, Amun-Ra still refused to accept this fact.
"I AM A CELESTIAL! I AM ETERNAL! I AM NOT DYING TO A MORTAL BORN! NEVER!"
As he continued roaring until celestial flames broke out of his skin, Asna and Queen Ai found themselves incapable of keeping him down!
Before they could reinforce their spiritual pressure, Amun-Ra broke free at last and flew in the direction of Felix with his divine spear set in golden celestial flames!
Athena and the rest of the viewers held their breath at the sight, understanding that Amun-Ra saught to slay Felix before he came to his senses!
"Oh no..." Even Asna"s relief disappeared and was replaced by a worried look. However, before she could make her move to help her husband, Felix suddenly lowered his head until his eyes matched the rus.h.i.+ng Amun-Ra.
The moment Amun-Ra saw Felix"s eyes, his entire expression froze...His reaction was understandable as Felix"s eyes resembled an ocean of galaxies swimming in their pupils.
They were mesmerizing, otherworldly, and most importantly, so dreadful that Amun-Ra was capable of concocting a single thought.
"The windows of the universe..."
As the last word was registered in his mind, everyone was left petrified at the sight of Amun-Ra getting lasered out of existence!
His celestial flames, his divine weapon, his entire existence was utterly erased by a single white beam, leaving behind only one thing...The Celestial Heart.
Under the stunned and silent looks of the viewers, Felix reached out with his finger and Amun-Ra"s celestial heart flew in his direction...Or more precisely, his chest.
Just like a rock thrown in the water, the heart pa.s.sed through Felix"s chest, leaving behind a soft ripple on his skin.
Felix didn"t even bother to check on it. He lowered his gaze, aiming it directly at the other two rulers, who had two different expressions.
Ymir was as calm as always, but this time, he had a defeated smile.
Medusa had a look of utter despair.
Both of them knew they could control their emotions and not show such a reaction, but at this moment, what was the point?
"I know it"s too much to ask, I know it"s shameful to ask, but I have to know." Suddenly, Ymir showed a bitter smile as he inquired, "Can I know what you saw on the other side?"
"Describing such disgusting behavior as shameful is too light." Asna sneered coldly.
After everything that happened, the three rulers deserved nothing but absolute torture. To be this daring and shameless to ask for a favor was simply too much.
Yet, to everyone"s surprise, Felix actually anwsered him.
"The other side...Unfortunately for you, I need all seven hearts together to open up the gateway." Felix replied indifferently as he pointed his finger at Ymir and Medusa.
As Ymir gazed at the light emerging from Felix"s finger, he couldn"t help but sigh helplessly.
He understood that Felix would never leave them alive as he merged with their hearts, which meant...
"I hope the truth was worth all of this..."
That"s the last thing he uttered before Felix deleted them out of existence like an author using a mere erasure to write off a character...
With a snap of a finger, their celestial hearts integrated within his chest...Immediately after, silence took place in the void.
There were no thunderclaps, no universal pillars, no announcements, nothing...
It was like the three rulers" deaths meant nothing to the universe.
But the truth was, it did imply a lot, it meant everything...However, the universe was no longer a mindless ent.i.ty.
The universe was Felix and Felix was the universe.
After the three rulers" inevitable death, all he did was close his eyes and face the voided skies above, seemingly enjoying the peace...
Alas, the peace was instantly disturbed by Asna"s excited scream, "We did it!! You did it, Felix!! You actually did it!!"
It was followed by her instantly appearing next to him and giving him a tight hug while still repeating energetically, "We did it! We did it...we...Sob, we did...sob...we did it!"
It took no time before Asna"s excitement was replaced by gus.h.i.+ng tears, flooding down her cheeks and into Felix"s shoulder.
"There, there, no need to cry, there is no more cause for you ever to weep again..."
Felix softened his expression as he caressed her hair gently, but the more he did it, the louder Asna cried like she had been holding onto them ever since her birth.
It wasn"t farfetched to think so...
Felix knew that Asna was quite emotional even while becoming a celestial. That"s all because of the trauma she had gone through in her childhood and the way the three rulers made her feel like she was always a prisoner.
A prisoner without any hopes of ever receiving freedom.
After all, she was told that she would become the universe"s consciousness after ascending, which meant she would be imprisoned to carry on the universal duties forever.
If she didn"t, she would ever be under the three rulers" reign.
So, no matter which path she took, she would never obtain true freedom.
Only now did she truly feel that shackles were broken at last and could do nothing but weep her eyes out as she kept hugging the love of her life and savior...
As her tears kept flowing down, Felix"s heart was gripped by a sudden wave of guilt...But, before Asna could notice it, he killed it off and kept caressing her back gently.
Meanwhile, his pools of galaxies reflected a hint of rage as he gazed at the distant void.
Why was he mad? Who was he mad at? Only one person in this cosmos knew...
"When you wrap things out, I think it"s moment we have our little talk." Kronos"s bitter voice resounded in Felix"s mind out of nowhere.
