Chapter 1827 Protecting The Little Bit of Happiness...

1827 Protecting The Little Bit of Happiness...

Athena opened her mouth, wanting to retort, but in the end, she closed it close and let out a long exhale in disappointment...She wasn't disappointed by Commander Bia's reaction, but by herself.

That's because Commander Bia was right...How so?

'Bring her to us, we will restore her erased memories.'

This was the order she received from the first ruler and she had no intentions of going against it.

"Start enlarging yourself if you want to live." Athena ordered, her eyes turning cold again.

As a unigin, she had complete control over her emotions, thus, she killed off any signs of mercy or sympathy before they could affect her judgment.

When it came to unigins' core, they didn't mess about.

"Not interested." Commander Bia rejected, "Kill me or let me go...These are your only options."

"You're under the wrong assumption." Athena shook her head, "When dealing with us, there are never just two options."

Before Commander Bia could analyze her words, Athena smacked her in the forehead in the blink of an eye.

When she pulled back her palm, an orange hexagon gemstone was left embedded in the center of her forehead.

Athena snapped her finger and the gemstone came to life, shining brilliantly. Meanwhile, Commander Bia's eyes started losing focus.

"What's...happening...to...me..." She murmured with great difficulty, feeling like every word weighed heavily on her throat.

"You are being mind controlled." Athena anwsered truthfully.

"No..."

When she heard this, a small fire appeared in Commander Bia's pupils, seemingly using every ounce of willpower to fight against it.

Alas, she soon realized that it was futile.

Just like the anesthesia injected into a patient, no matter how tough he was, he was bound to fall asleep.

Thus, Athena didn't seem too bothered by her resistance and waited patiently until she was under her control.

'I...won't...let...you...'

Commander Bia's mind was replaying all the horrid torment she went through, fueling her desire to resist Athena's mind control.

In those few moments she managed to buy for herself, she reached to the depth of her soul and did something, not even herself expected to do.

'For the paragon...For the death of these monsters...' Commander Bia's eyes turned as bright as the sun as she murmured one last time, 'For me...'

In an instant, a radiant glow enveloped Bia, marking the deliberate ignition of her soul.

"Damn it, Bia!"

Realizing what was about to happen, Athena tried to intervene, to stop Bia from making an irreversible sacrifice.

She reached out within her soul and attempted to secure it with the soul healing powers of pink gemstones.

'Do not let her explode her soul.' Amun-Ra uttered with a stern tone.

'I am trying to stop it, but it ain't working!' Athena retorted, giving it her all, but to no avail.

Once the self-destruction command was activated, there was no going back, unless someone possessed some remarkable ways. If it was the three rulers, they could have stopped it immediately.

But, all they could do was watch as Bia allowed the energy to consume her with a peaceful smile.

Then, there was no then...

The explosion was silent yet tumultuous, scattering her essence across the atomic landscape, her soul's light extinguishing in a brilliant flash...

As the light faded, Athena stood alone amidst the drifting atomic particles, the remnants of Bia's existence. She glanced around her for a few moments before releasing a deep sigh.

'You have already suffered enough...This might be a fitting ending for you.' She thought to herself, seemingly unaffected negatively by her failure to capture Commander Bia.

Her reaction might drive someone to question if she had given it her best to halt her soul explosion...But, the three rulers said nothing. Commander Bia was already gone, taking away with her the only lead to Felix's whereabouts.

'Regroup with the others and search the Vibronixian empire for him.' Amun-Ra ordered coldly, 'She couldn't have hidden him in an unfamiliar place.'

'On it.' Athena nodded and returned to the quantum realm, getting dropped off somewhere random again.

She relayed the news to her partners and they all decided to gather up at the Vibronoxian Empire, planning a full sweep of the empire's territory.

Since Athena had seen Commander Bia's memories, she knew that Quantix Prime had no clue about Felix's whereabouts too...Or any other person for that matter.

Hence, they didn't bother to waste their time on them.

'It would have been easier if they succeeded in finding his core before his revival.' Medusa uttered with a neutral voice, 'But, it doesn't change his fate.'

'Indeed, the moment you have infiltrated Asna's core, it's a game over.' Amun-Ra smiled coldly.

This was the only reason none of them were that bothered by Athena's failure...In their eyes, Asna's core dilemma was already handled.

***

Unbeknownst to any of this, Felix continued living the best of his life with Asna in the dream world while at the same time, implanting vulnerabilities on her soul.

He kept on this same routine for over four hundred years until the day had finally arrived...The day of killing Asna!

"I guess our escapade has come to a conclusion." Felix smiled bitterly as he tightened his hands on Asna's.

He was standing with her in front of a willow tree, holding hands and staring into each other's eyes.

"As much as I loved every moment of it, we have to finish it." Asna smiled back, "I am grateful we even had those years to ourselves. Whether it was in a dream or not, I am truly thankful."

"Me too."

What needed to be uttered had already been said years ago. Thus, Felix didn't let fear of failure or nervousness get the best of him.

He brought Asna to his embrace and reached out to the dream mark in Asna's right waist. It was a small, intricate symbol etched delicately.

His fingers trembled slightly, knowing that with a single command, he could trigger the vulnerabilities he had painstakingly placed within her soul, ensuring that her soul's explosion would be instantaneous.

But, it had to happen...He could already feel his main soul getting closer to 60% completion, affecting his wisp bit by bit.

He could no longer waste time if he wanted this plan to succeed.

With a heavy heart, Felix whispered the command, his voice barely a breath in the quiet of the dream realm. "Asna, my love, forgive me..."

As he spoke the words, a gentle, warm light began to emanate from Asna, surrounding her in a soft glow that gradually intensified.

"There is nothing to forgive...We will reunite sooner or later, I can feel it." Asna reached out with a gentle smile and gave Felix a light kiss on the lips.

As their lips connected, Her form began to dissolve within his arms, the light growing brighter until it was all that remained.

Felix held on as long as he could, but alas...His arms eventually closed around empty air as the last bits of her presence faded with the wind.

The light slowly dimmed, leaving Felix alone in the dream garden. The flowers seemed to wilt slightly, mourning the loss of their creator, and the once vibrant sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the now silent landscape.

Felix stood motionless as the dream world crumbled around him, his heartbeats accelerating rapidly.

Although the dream world was collapsing, he knew this might be a sign of Asna waking up instead of her death.

There was only one way to truly confirm her death and he was waiting for it, no everyone was waiting for it.

'Come on...Come on...' Thor kept repeating with a tense expression.

'Please work, Please, please.' Candace begged while crossing her hands together, seemingly becoming religious all of a sudden.

Meanwhile, the rest of the tenants, each had their own reaction. But, all of them supported the success of the plan...Even Lilith somehow.

Just as all hope seemed lost and the failure of the plan was looming near, a sudden thunderous clap resounded heavily across everyone's mind.

RUMBLE!!

A thunderous clap so powerful everyone in the universe and its realms heard it loud and clear.

The moment it echoed in Felix's ears, he opened his eyes to the sight of the tenants cheering and celebrating inside Asna's core.

"We did it..."

A little smile of relief and delight broke on Felix's face as he gazed into the distance, realizing that they had already succeeded in the hardest part of their mission. Rescuing Asna from under the three rulers' guardianship.

Alas, if only he knew...
