Chapter 1887 A Universal Massacre!
Chapter 1887 A Universal Massacre!
"Felix, bad news." Lord Loki reported with a solemn tone, "I am afraid this is happening on a galaxy scale. I am receiving news that millions of humans are getting dropped akin to flies each second."
"This is horrible." Jörmungandr frowned, "Are they seeking to exterminate the entire human race?"
"They don't care as long as it pushes Felix and Asna to enter the Eternal Kingdom," Fenrir uttered.
On the other side, the three rulers were seen sitting on their platforms while having thousands of spiritual mirrors opened before them. Each mirror was showing a different massacre occurring across the entire Milky Way Galaxy.
Pained screams and children's cries resounded loudly in the dimensional pocket, yet, the three rulers didn't seem moved in the slightest.
"Let's see how far can he hold." Amun-Ra smiled coldly.
"He might be a celestial, but his origins are still of a mortal birth." Medusa said calmly, "As much as he can control his emotions, he isn't going to stand in the corner and watch his origin get erased because of him."
The three rulers seemed to be right as the moment Felix found out that the entire galaxy was under attack, he teleported near it and didn't hesitate to cast a celestial barrier around it.
The celestial barrier immediately intercepted the three rulers' divine thunderstorms and put a halt to this unprovoked madness.
When the three rulers saw this, they weren't bothered...Instead, faint smiles painted their divine visages, anticipating this kind of reaction.
They knew it was the only way to protect the galaxy from attacks since they were using divinities.
"Switch target." With the same cold intent, the three rulers dropped the Milky Way Galaxy and targeted the Witch Empire!
When Felix received the news, he swiftly sent a clone to create the same celestial barrier, not wanting the eradication of his master's legacy.
Unfortunately, this was just the beginning...
The three rulers left no race or empire untouched, creating a wide-scale panic across the SGAlliance.
The SGAlliance's leaders found themselves overwhelmed by the sheer scale of the disaster.
Emergency broadcasts echoed across every communication channel, urging people to stay indoors and seek shelter, but even they knew it was futile.
The thunderclouds were too powerful, too random...There was no pattern to the destruction, no logic to the strikes, just chaos and instant death!
Meanwhile, Felix was left with a dire decision.
He could either protect the entire SGAlliance at a great cost of celestial energy or choose the most important targets to him personally and leave the rest to survive on their own.
In both cases, he would be wasting celestial energy continuously, the only difference was the quantity spent.
"This is what I feared..." Asna said with a concerned tone, "After finishing off the unprotected areas, the three rulers don't need to attack anymore. You will be forced to spend great amounts of celestial energy to protect galaxies daily and this will be counter-initiative to our plans."
"I know..." Felix uttered coldly.
He realized that the three rulers no longer needed to attack the protected territories and he would be on the losing side.
For a small price of celestial energy, they slowed down Felix's farming by at least 30% forever!
This percentage reflected only if Felix cared enough about humans and some other races instead of the protection of the entire SGAlliance.
If he went for the latter, he would be actually losing more celestial energy than he was bringing in!
"This was expected from the three rulers." Eris held her chin thoughtfully, "The question is, why now? Why not make their move before?"
"Are they doing this to just slow down Felix's celestial energy collection or force him to enter the Eternal Kingdom much earlier than planned?" Lady Sphinx wondered too.
Those were two different answers with two different outcomes.
"If the rulers did this to slow him down, they could have done it much sooner before he collected this much celestial energy." Lord Marduk shook his head, "It must be the latter. I believe they were also preparing for the war and now, they finally feel like they were ready to take them on."
"..."
"..."
"..."
The tenants were left staring at each other in silence.
They realized that for the three rulers to hasten the start of the war, they must be sitting on a dangerous trump card.
After all, how could they not fear Asna even when they knew that her awakening was going to empower her to a different level?
"At the same time, couldn't they have done this to make sure to slow Felix down while also scaring him into not making a move?" Lord Shiva added expressionlessly.
"You implying reverse psychology?" Lord Loki raised an eyebrow.
"You are looking too much into it." Asna snorted, "Those bastards will not go this far to avoid a confrontation. I am certain they are trying to force us to enter the Eternal Kingdom."
"She is right." Eris nodded in approval.
As one of the closest unigins to the three rulers, she understood how they carried business. Their absolute omnipotence made them uncaring about running such little schemes.
Once they were ready for battle, they would do everything in their power to make it happen.
Right now, the ball was in Felix's and Asna's hands.
Would they ignore the woes and massacre of the majority of the SGAlliance's population and continue farming celestial energy for the next millions of years, or...
"I am sorry Felix, but I am biting..."
Asna decided with a bitter smile as she watched the unforgiving scenes of the three rulers leaving behind on each planet.
"I just can't watch as those monsters punish those weaker than them for something they have no control over..." She murmured, "I know the feeling more than anyone else..."
While Asna could easily turn her emotions off and be cold and distant to those mortals, who she had no connection with, she suddenly found out that it was too difficult.
If they were to be killing each other, she couldn't give a damn, but when their death was associated with celestial matters, which they had no clue about, she simply couldn't turn a blind eye.
Not when she knew that she had what it took to stop it...
"Don't be, to be honest, I have the same intention." Felix smiled back at her, his eyes spilling with a hint of serenity.
"Really?" Asna's eyes lit up, "Why? I thought you said that nothing would affect your decision?"
Even the tenants were taken aback by his sudden switch. Ever since Felix ascended and became in control of his emotions, he always scared those a bit as it made them feel like he no longer had a personality.
It was like he was a robot capable of knowing exactly how as well as when to feel. Such control might seem great, but it got rid of anything humane in him.
This made those fear the day when he would end up making a decision that went against the morals of the real Felix as well as he wouldn't even know it...
"I always decided that the best course of action is to be heartless, to turn a blind eye to the suffering of the innocent in order to ensure the death of the three rulers," Felix spoke while continuing to send clones to protect more nations, "After all, the logic appeared sound at the time; why waste precious celestial energy upon lives that were, in the grand scheme of things, insignificant? If it meant saving enough power to strike down the rulers, wasn't it worth the sacrifice?"
