Chapter 1871 Samsara Wheel!
Chapter 1871 Samsara Wheel!
The anti-matter core detonated, creating a terrifying localized vacuum around Ares, pulling in surrounding matter and energy!
This caused Ares to be caught momentarily in one place.
Felix preparing for this opportunity, manifested millions of void rifts across the battlefield, surrounding Ares from all sides!
Almost instantaneously, Felix loaded his rifle with new types of bullets using different combinations of his laws!
Inferno Shard Bullets, Gamma Vortex Bullets, Photon Quakes Bullets, Nova Blasts Bullets, Electro-Matter Bullets, Voidbreaker Bullets, and the list goes on and on!!
Some bullets were crafted out of three laws while some out of four. Yet, they all had a singular purpose, seeking to bring Ares to his knees!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!...
The Voidbreaker bullets were the first to launch, shooting like dark comets, aiming straight for Ares!
Nova Blasts Bullets were hot on their heels, glowing with the searing intensity of plasma, light, and fire!
Next were Electro-Matter Darts, which were crackling with lightning and anti-matter, joining the fray and adding to the storm of chaos descending upon Ares!
Felix was using the void rifts as a means of travel, making it nearly impossible to predict their exact course!
Ares slashed apart the localized vacuum and stayed in place, knowing that he could not evade those bullets in time.
"So be it!"
Unfazed and with a hint of exhilaration, he started swinging his divine polearm akin to a graceful dancer.
Slice! Slice Slice!
He might not be able to see the bullets, but he was capable of feeling their trajectory and even slowing them down, using his finality laws.
After all, objects in motion could only have two endings, either travel for infinity or stop eventually. In both scenarios, the laws of infinity/finality applied to them, which meant Ares still had complete control over the situation!
Yet, he kept dancing all over the place, slicing apart each bullet with his eyes closed and a smile wider than a kid receiving a consol on his birthday.
Voidbreaker bullets created miniature black holes where they struck, Nova blasts bullets left behind supernovas in their wake, and the Electro-Matter Bullets zipped past him, failing to paralyze him.
Even when those bullets were flying at him from millions of directions through those void rifts, not a single bullet managed to hit his infinity barrier!!
Ares laughed, a sound that echoed through the void, seemingly enjoying the challenge.
"Is that all you have, Paragon?" He taunted, dodging a particularly close Nova Blast. "You'll need more to bring me down!"
Felix narrowed his eyes as he increased his assault, causing millions of bullets to rain down upon Ares...Their varied destructive powers created a symphony of multicolored chaos!
As the relentless barrage continued, Ares' expression soon shifted from amusement to concentration.
The sheer volume of bullets became way too overwhelming, their destructive force converging on him from all directions.
He might have his infinity barrier, but he wasn't interested in getting bombarded.
"How about I return the favor?" Ares suddenly smiled sinisterly, "Samsara Wheels."
Around him, six massive transcendental wheels materialized, shining with an otherworldly light as they started to spin clockwise.
The incoming bullets were all pulled into the wheels and started spinning within them, resembling balls inside a mouse wheel.
It seemed like the wheels always had a place to harvest new bullets as they had already gathered close to a million, but they were still hungry for more!
"This should be enough." Ares uttered with a faint smirk as he tapped his polearm on the back of each wheel.
Then, under the stunned eyes of the watchers, the six wheels doubled in number once, twice, and kept doubling nonstop until a sea of Samsara Wheel Duplicates engulfed the battlefield!
Ares focused all of those wheels in the direction of Felix and gave out a single order, "Fire."
All the bullets were launched and blazed with an ominous glow as they were infused with the infinity law, making Felix realize that his control over them was stolen!
Although he commanded the laws making the bullets, the moment they were infused with infinity laws, which affected all laws in the universe, Ares' authority took over!
Thus, Felix was forced to protect against his bullets and he was having a difficult time pulling it off as they were enhanced to the limit!
The Samsara Wheel helped anything inside of it reach its maximum potential, whether it was a lifeform or an object.
In other words, the rain of bullets was more potent than what Felix had released!
'Those laws...No wonder Ares is undefeated.'
Thor remarked with a solemn tone as he watched Felix rely on the laws of Order and Chaos to defend himself.
He kept attempting to restore order by breaking apart the projectiles into their original forms while using chaotic laws to twist those origins entirely.
Unfortunately, since they were infused with infinity laws, it was the same as trying to overstep Ares' authority.
Thus, his attempts failed horribly and he was forced to evade as his life depended on it.
'This is bad, it's like Felix has given Ares the ammo he needed to fire his attacks.' Fenrir remarked.
'It's expected, Ares' laws most overpowering aspect is their ability to attach themselves to all laws in the universe.' Eris uttered calmly, 'With Ares' authority always superseding us, once he decides to steal our laws, it's pretty much over for us.'
'Probably no one has ever pushed him to go this far.' Jörmungandr smiled wryly, 'Just his finality laws are enough to deal with anyone.'
Indeed, both laws were simply too overbearing...One represented infinity/life while the other represented finality/death. If no one could bypass Ares' finality/death laws, there was no point in using the other.
The only reason this fight could happen was because Felix had what it took to deal with Ares' finality laws.
'If Felix wants to win this, he needs to up his authority.' Eris narrowed her eyes, 'He must choose Lilith's laws as they are the only ones with a chance to counter his authority.'
Unbeknownst to them, Felix's celestial form was already on it.
He was currently manipulating the very fabric of logic and reality, focusing on unraveling the constraints that bound Felix's form.
He knew that it was possible to backstab Ares and mess with his reality at a very expensive cost, but he refrained from doing it.
'I can't allow the three rulers to find out about my capabilities to manipulate reality.' Felix's celestial form uttered coldly.
If he did to himself, then they had no way of finding out. But, if he changed Ares' reality or attempted to weaken him, they would immediately spot the irregularities.
Also, he was interested in witnessing what a true embodiment of all his laws combined would look like, even if it was temporary.
'This should do it.'
With one final sentence removed, Felix reached out to his clone and shared, 'I have succeeded in removing the limits temporarily. You can go for it.'
Felix nodded with an icy gaze amidst the sea of explosions and spatial disturbances, flashing by them at the speed of light.
With a deep breath, Felix focused inward and funneled the essence of every law he commanded into one state of perfect embodiment.
Usually, this would be considered a suicide mission as it would create a destructive conflict of personas led by those laws.
But not Felix, not anymore!
His body began to glow as he tapped into every single law at his disposal. This created a colorful brilliant sphere around him, protecting him from the incoming projectiles.
"Hmmm? Is he entering an embodiment state?" Ares raised an eyebrow in confusion, "How come it's different than us?"
Even the three rulers seemed quite puzzled with what was going on.
Before they could begin to discuss it, the sphere broke into light particles and exposed Felix with an entirely different look.
He had a long misty cape formed behind him, woven from the very fabric of the void, trailing endlessly into the darkness.
His eyes turned into voids reflecting the vast emptiness of the universe while his hair's color changed to dark purple, resembling an ocean of void energy.
"You chose true embodiment state of void?" Ares was taken aback, "How could you make such a mistake?"
He already predicted that Felix would be forced to enter a true embodiment state. In fact, he was egging him to go for it, so he could go all out at last without his authority giving him an advantage.
But, he always assumed that Felix would choose seven sins or even chaos/order embodiments, knowing that they were the only laws capable of making him sweat.
Before anyone else could comment on this development, Felix raised his hands with a blank stare, like there was absolutely no thought behind his soulless eyes...Then, he clapped once.
His clap was silent and had no power behind it akin to a teacher clapping his hands to attract his students' attention.
Yet, that single clap had instantly cleaned the entire battlefield from every single bullet and its aftermath...
Tens of countless of destructive projectiles were devoured by the void realm and taken into the infinite expanse of nothingness.
Even the countless Samsara Wheels were swallowed, leaving only Felix and Ares standing in front of each other.
The only thing left behind was an eerily silence like all of their alterations were nothing but a dream...
