1845 The Divine Ascension.
Every one of them was going through their parts of life, but the moment Felix came into their minds, various emotions were brought up against their will.
But, all they could do was associate them with hopeful and delightful nostalgia and carry on living, knowing that he was long gone...
Suddenly, the white pillar in everyone's eyes started to turn dark and ominous until it was completely pitch-black!
Everyone was left stunned, having no idea if the pillar was still there, and they couldn't see it or if it had gone away.
The only ones knowing were near it, gazing at it with similar looks. It had indeed turned dark for less than a second before it died out at last...
The moment it disappeared, everyone's eyes landed on a singular humanoid entity with a skin fairer than fairies, and long smooth hair, darker than the darkest nights.
His features were sharpened, with a pinpoint triangle jaw capable of slicing through the hardest known materials.
His pitch-black eyes held a mesmerizing depth, with pupils that spun slowly, giving the impression of staring into a hypnotic, ever-turning vortex.
He was fully nude, but his private parts were hidden by a moving inked tattoo, resembling the same peculiar writings spotted on the back of the All-Seeing-Eye.
They danced across his body, changing from one sentence to another like his milky skin was a playground.
Felix lifted his hand slowly and gazed at it after removing a stalk of hair away from his eyes. The letters came together and created a sentence on his palm, making him tilt his head in curiosity.
After reading it, his expression couldn't help but turn gentle and a bit saddened.
"You were the best..." Felix said under his breath as he caressed the writings, causing them to break into an inked mist.
The mist turned into vibrations and was carried away, reaching Quantix Prime and the rest of the Vibronoxians.
However, only Quantix Prime was able to decipher what it said, as he was very familiar with this time of communication.
It was a unique way of communication only the Quantaar and the royal family could use.
"Did I do good, Father? huh, why did he say it? Is he talking to me...It can't be." Quantix Prime murmured, having no idea how to react to the last words of the Quantaar.
While he knew only he could read this type of vibration, he was also sure that he wasn't the one being addressed.
That's because the Quantaar never considered the Vibronoxians more than just business partners no matter how hard he tried to make their relationship closer.
"Is he addressing him?" Quantix Prime's eyes landed on Felix, who slowly turned his head to face the four unigins.
Before Quantix Prime could continue with the thought, he was shocked to see that all four of them and the entire dark army nearby had disappeared!
He swiftly turned to Timeon and he seemed to have the same expression, making him realize that he wasn't imagining things.
'Who the hell is he...'
...
'What do you guys think?'
'I don't know, but he was already too dangerous to begin with.'
'This feels too ominous...'
Meanwhile, Felix and the four big 'A's were seen staring at each other in silence. Felix wasn't saying anything while they were trying to study him. Or at least, what he had become.
Felix wasn't showing any change of expression or making a move for a reason. He was analyzing new information bestowed upon him after the ascension. Information that was specific to the stone of reality, his new main core.
It took him no time before reading through it all.
'Felix, are you good? How do you feel?'
'Do you feel divine?'
The tenants checked on him, having no idea what to expect of him after this peculiar transformation. For all they know, he might have changed completely or forgotten about them.
Fortunately, it didn't seem like this was the case.
'I am good, I will talk to you after I deal with them.' Felix replied, his tone still neutral.
'Alright...'
The tenants could only reply with this and watch as Felix let out a long exhale while eying Apollo and the others.
"I have wondered about many things in life, but I never thought most of my questions would be answered with a simple death."
He said with a wry smile as he manifested a medium axe made out of celestial black flames. He waved it around akin to a toy as he continued.
"Like these black flames. I always wondered about its origin and why am I the only one capable of using them." He pointed the battleaxe at them and said calmly, "But now, I know why."
"Easy there, paragon. We know you possess only a tiny bit of celestial flames. You can't bluff your way out of here." Aeolus said with narrowed cold eyes, divine aura screaming off him.
He knew that showing weakness was going to do nothing but ruin their chances at dealing with him.
After all, they were still geared to the limit with divinities unlike him.
"Is that so..." Felix stroked the pitch-black axe and asked with a gentle smile, as opposed to his entire creepy aura, "Will you allow me to test something on you then?"
Before Aeolus could respond, with a single blink, Felix vanished from where he stood, reappearing in an instant before Aeolus.
He wielded the celestial axe, its blade wreathed in churning black flames that seemed to devour the very light around them!
Aeolus reacted swiftly, shooting his arms up and summoning a divine barrier around him!
As Felix swung the axe down in a powerful arc, Aeolus crossed his arms before him, the barrier flaring brightly upon contact with the dark flames.
"Give it your best!" He taunted.
Whooosh!
The collision between the black flames and the divine barrier produced a thunderous roar and a burst of divine sparks.
Aeolus grunted under the force, but he held strong.
"You're wasting your energy, paragon!" he shouted while turning to his allies, seemingly about to ask them to flank him.
Before Aeolus could voice it out, he noticed something alarming. The black flames licking at his barrier were not diminishing as he had expected.
Instead, they seemed to be growing in intensity & strength, feeding off the very divine energy meant to suppress them!
"What?! It can't be!"
His eyes widened in realization as the protective energy of his barrier began to sizzle and crack, slowly being consumed by the relentless flames!
The shocking part? He could feel that the black flames were reaching out to his reserve of divinities and consuming them from within him!
In a desperate move, he pushed back alongside every his remaining strength, desiring to break the connection between them!
Arghhhh!!
Alas, the intense dark flames engulfed him whole & started eating via his flesh, soul, emotions, and even thoughts!
Everything that made him... him, wasn't just devoured, however broken apart first to its initial origin, before getting eaten by the flames, allowing them to grow like never before.
This left Aeolus screaming in unexplainable agony without the possibility of even establishing a single thought under the petrified eyes of his peers.
