Chapter 1878 The Gears Started to Turn.
"If scanning abilities and normal celestial flames can't pick up on anything, then specialized divinities must be the answer," Felix said with a thoughtful expression.
Knowing there was only one method to learn them, Felix didn't hesitate to make a wish from the universe to show him the way.
The universe accepted the payment in celestial energy and fed Felix with all the required information to create his specialized divinities.
"Interesting, the creation process is split into four steps, Define the divinity's core, Infusion of Celestial Energy and Will, Channeling and Merging of Laws/elements, and lastly, Finalization and Sealing with Intent." Felix raised an eyebrow in surprise, "It sure takes a great deal of effort to create them."
"Mind clarifying each step?" Eris and Lady Sphinx requested simultaneously while sharpening their intent.
"I will do you one better."
Felix switched his focus to his main celestial form in the void and prepared to demonstrate the creation of his first specialized divinity.
"The first step is to define the core of the divinity. In this case, I'm choosing lightning as the foundation, aligning it with the purpose of swift and devastating strikes."
He extended his hand forward with his palm facing upward. Then, he manifested a small orb out of electricity.
"Next, I infuse the core with a blend of my celestial energy and a fragment of my will," Felix continued while channeling his energy into the orb, causing the lightning to grow fiercer.
"Now, I channel and unite additional laws to enhance the divinity's capabilities if I desire." He clarified, "I can still create a divinity using just one law, but if more laws were merged, the end product would be much more unique and potent."
"I see, what law will you choose?" Eris asked.
"Let's go with anti-matter. I am aiming to create a divinity that can strike with great destruction but at the speed of lightning."
The tenants watched as the two chosen forces merged and combined inside the core. After the process was concluded, Felix concluded, "Last but not least, I seal the divinity with a promise of intent, binding it to my will."
Felix closed his hand, and the orb vanished, absorbed back into his being.
"Now, I have prepared specialized divinity that can come to life the instant I pour celestial energy in its core."
"Ohh, it's like preparing an ability beforehand," Thor remarked.
"Yes." Felix nodded.
"But, that's it?" Candace tilted her head in confusion.
She expected the process to be much more complicated to master. Yet, Felix seemed to be natural at this.
"It is complicated, but I am a celestial too." Felix smiled faintly, "There isn't anything that's too difficult for me to learn."
The tenants couldn't help but chuckle, realizing that he was right. At his current level, everything came naturally to him.
"Still, it will take a little while to master instant-creation." He added while extending a finger into the dark void. Then, a brilliant milky white ray of electricity and anti-matter was released into the distance.
If he wasn't already in a dimension voided out of matter, the ray would have pierced through the spacetime like a piece of cloth!
"For now, let's focus on what's needed." Felix narrowed his eyes as he started thinking of creating a detection-based specialized divinity.
He had already used a wish before to check if the three rulers had messed up with Asna's soul or not. But, the result came back negative.
Now, that specialized divinities were involved, he knew that his greed laws might not have worked on them if the three rulers had them immune to laws. After all, only celestial powers could deal with celestial matters.
...
While Felix's celestial form was working on creating the best detection specialized divinity, the three rulers were having their discussion on this exact subject.
"We have revealed our specialized divinities and ability to manipulate with a unigin's soul during its recovery." Medusa uttered with a solemn tone, "This isn't good, the boy is now a celestial. I am certain he will make a connection sooner or later."
"That's the risk we had to take." The first ruler uttered calmly, seemingly unaffected. "The moment we geared Ares with specialized divinities, this was bound to happen whether he won or lost."
"If only he won and got us the cores." Amun-Ra sneered, "The brat would have been weakened immensely and we fasten our plan to break apart the universe's heart."
Unlike them, Felix's connection to laws was based on his cores. Thus, if he lost that many cores at once, it would be the same as slicing off the wings of an eagle.
Sure, he would still have his celestial flames, but would they be enough to deal with the three rulers and their ability to tap into all elements in the universe?
"There is less than 3% before Asna's soul recovers." Medusa squinted, "I suggest we hasten the process, I am certain I can make her soul reach 100% in an instant."
"Do it, obtaining her core will end this whole farce at once," Amun-Ra uttered coldly, "Let's see if he will dare reject our orders then."
Having Asna's soul was one thing, but possessing her core was another.
They knew that Felix could strengthen his mind if they bothered to torture her soul, but he wouldn't ignore them if he realized that they planned to use her core to blow the universe's heart.
They knew that the moment he stepped into the eternal kingdom, it would be the end of him.
Medusa glanced at the first ruler, who stayed silent, awaiting his approval too. His divine eyes were affixed on the universe's heart, that tiny single white dot.
She wasn't too worried about wasting their time as they had manipulated the time in the dimension to flow according to the void Felix was hiding in.
After such a massive time difference, a mere second was enough for an entire civilization to be born and die in the Quantum Realm.
After a short while, the first ruler retracted his gaze and gave Medusa a head nod.
"It's time indeed."
For all their knowledge and emotional restrain, the three rulers still felt a tingle of unease about the failure of their plan.
They had followed the exact instructions of the tablet and while it seemed vague most of the time, they still carried those instructions to heart.
Now, they were finally at the last lap, with only one hurdle in front of them.
They weren't worried about the hurdle stopping them, but by their success coming back with nothing.
After billions of years of preparation and hard work, if they still couldn't reach the other side, not even they could handle such a setback...
...
As the gears were set in motion, Felix, Eris, and Apollo were seen entering the same deserted galaxy, where Felix had found Asna's core in the ruins.
Of course, the galaxy might be the same, but the happenings were in a different timeline. In simpler terms, there might be the existence of the planet, but there was no Asna in it or the sealing hall.
Thus, Felix merely paid a short visit to the ruins and as expected, he found that Asna's imprisonment ground was nothing but an empty piece of land.
Still, Felix couldn't help but reminisce as he picked up a handful of dirt. Scenes of his bloodline clan's spaceship landing on this exact planet, searching for any treasures within the ancient city's ruins, reflected in his mind.
"To think my new life started right here, but in a different timeline is just too ludicrous to envision." Felix smiled wryly while dusting his palms.
"The concept of frozen timelines is too complex even for us." Eris uttered calmly, "The only one with a full understanding of it is Kronos."
"Kronos, huh, there are so many questions I want to ask him." Felix gazed at the distant stars, "I hope he won't turn us back."
"I do too."
Without delay, the three unigins went through a chaotic portal and when they reappeared, they found themselves right in front of the the galaxy's supermassive black hole.
This was the last known place of Kronos but in a different timeline.
Unlike Felix and Asna, he was still residing in the old main timeline that had become frozen now.
In other words, they had to jump across timelines to reach him!
