1335 The Favor From A While Back.
"I am still as lost as ever." Felix smiled wryly.
Felix never announced his decision on his last bloodline due to the choices expanding imnsely compared to the last ti.
During his sixth replacent, he decided between the destruction elent and the vibration elent, but now that he knew about the free limited manipulation after becoming an origin bloodliner, this made him realize that he could pick even alive primogenitors!
In other words, he could even use any of the darkins' bloodlines and even the alive elental lords' bloodlines!
There was only one issue with the latter. He still needed to obtain permission and it was doubtful that death, life, ti, illusion, and creation primogenitors would allow him to get their elental domain.
"The most ideal bloodline to choose must be related to the ntal, such as darkness, charm, sound, illusion, and even vibration." Asna disclosed, "You already have offense, defense, mobility, and flexibility covered. The only thing lacking is a bloodline capable of helping you toughen your ntal defenses and attacks to a deity level."
"I know." Felix nodded.
While the list seed to have blown out to tens of bloodlines, Felix had to eliminate any elent that conflicted with one of his elents.
For example, he couldn't use Roc's bloodline since he had no need for wind manipulation at his current strength.
Light manipulation was also out of the discussion since the elental manipulation was lost and possibly the only thod to get it back was by finding another egg.
Even awakening Amaterasu through filtering his descendants' bloodlines was useless since he didn't have the manipulation to give out anymore.
"Charm is out of the question as Kumiho will never give permission and it's best to not add another primogenitor enemy by going for it forcefully. Plus, I can't see myself using charm abilities." Felix knocked down his options, "Darkness is a valid option. Wendigo is known to be in the top five strongest ntalists in the universe. Also, I don't need to worry about his permission."
"But, the darkness elent is quite limited in the ntal capacity." Thor clarified, "Wendigo is the one who made the darkness elent be feared in terms of ntal warfare, which ans you won't be able to reach the sa height as him without his teachings."
"Well, I don't think there is much of an option here." Felix sighed, "I don't have ti to find ways to get my hands on vibration primogenitor's bloodline when you told that she died billions of years ago without leaving any descendant behind. The illusion elent is also out of the picture since the illusion primogenitor is still alive and won't give permission to use it."
When Felix was given the option to choose between destruction and vibration, at that mont, he had all the ti in the world to invest in finding out about the vibration primogenitor's bloodline. Whether he failed or succeeded, it didn't matter much.
But now? He couldn't afford such luxury when Lucifer was running a rampage in his territory.
"I guess darkness it is?" Asna cursed under her breath, "I still don't like the thought of you sharing that bastard's bloodline."
"Neither do I, but I have to be strong in all departnts before I et with the darkins." Felix said with a cold tone, "I can't give them a single chance to win."
Felix knew that becoming a deity didn't entail that he would be able to kill the darkins...It simply ant being finally given the chance to stand before them without being played like a toy.
Lucifer's score against Fenrir was enough proof.
If Felix's ntal fortitude was lacking, Wendigo alone would make him regret the day he decided to fight them.
Just as Felix was to conclude his decision, Lady Sphinx placed her closed book on the table and shared calmly, "There are no guarantees, but I can try to get you permission from Lord Loki."
"Huh? You can?" Felix raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"Sphinx, you will be wasting your ti, you know that irritating trickster will never agree without a worthy trade." Thor shook his head.
"He is right." Jörmungandr supported, "This is giving up on his ultimate ability in addition to a limited manipulation, he will most definitely rip you off if he had an offer in mind."
"Don't worry, he owes one from a while ago."
Lady Sphinx showed a faint smile as she recalled her last eting with Lord Loki.
****
Flashback to the ti of the darkins' assassination attempt failed at Felix...
"How did he get his hands on a drop of my blood?" Felix knitted his eyebrows, "It's impossible for him to get the data from our fight in the primogenitor's event as everyone's DNA is encrypted by Queen Ai. I doubt anyone possessed my blood besides Lady Sphinx."
"I know how they did it." Lady Sphinx spoke with an irritated tone as Lord Loki's playful expression surfaced in her mind.
"Who?"
"Don't worry about it, I will handle it."
The instant Lady Sphinx said this, she switched her focus to one of her many clones inside the
UVR...Then, she contacted Lord Loki and set up an imdiate eting with him.
Lord Loki agreed to the eting and gave her an invitation link.
When she clicked on it, she was taken to a living room that exuded an air of streamlined minimalism and was dominated by holographic displays.
"Loki, we need to talk," Lady Sphinx said, her voice cutting through the soft ambient sounds of the futuristic living room.
Unlike other elental lords, she didn't address him formally with his title.
Lord Loki, lounging in the morphing smart chair, glanced at her, his usually mischievous deanor dimd. "What's the matter, Sphinx?"
He didn't bother playing tricks with her as he did with the darkins as he knew that it was useless against her vision.
In this entire universe, there were few capable of making Lord Loki beco docile and respectful... Lady Sphinx was at the top.
Her truth vision made his illusion abilities obsolete entirely, which ant he could do nothing against her even if he utilized his illusion domain!
"You know why I am here. You crossed the line, Loki." Lady Sphinx stated with a cold tone, "You handed a blood drop or sothing similar to the darkins to be used to track my student's location."
He blinked, feigning surprise, but Sphinx wasn't fooled. "Oh, that? I assud you knew. All's fair in love and war, right?"
Her eyes narrowed a soft growl echoing in her throat. "This isn't a ga, Loki. You had no business in our conflict and you still shoved your nose in it. The only reason you were allowed to do as you please with this project of yours is due to your neutrality."
"What do you think our peers' response will be when I tell them that you have broken it?"
"You are still as overbearing as ever, Sphinxy." Lord Loki chuckled, "Make your price."
Lord Loki wasn't scared of Lady Sphinx, but at the sa ti, he really didn't want to make this bigger problem by bringing in the rest of the primogenitors.
All of them knew that he was running the UVR from the shadows. The only reason they remained silent about it was because he never got involved in their business and stayed in the shadows.
But, leaking private information to an enemy to tip the scale of a conflict?
Not a single primogenitor would trust him and they might even co to the conclusion that the UVR's existence wasn't in their favor anymore.
Lord Loki had no intention of creating such a massive headache for himself after going through so much to prepare for the main event.
"First, you will never get involved again in my student's life. As for the price? I will let you know when I need sothing from you." Lady Sphinx narrowed her eyes. "Loki, when I co to you, I expect full cooperation."
"No need to get serious." Lord Loki promised with a playful smile, "You know that my word is dear to ."
"We will see about that."
With that statent, Lady Sphinx left the eting and switched her focus back to the clone in Felix's consciousness space, joining the discussion as if nothing happened...
****
The Present...Back in the sa living room.
"It's ti for you to pay." Lady Sphinx stated with a calm tone.
"So soon?" Lord Loki raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Don't tell you guys have given up on killing that demon and ca for my help? If so, I will be really disappointed at such an anticlimactic ending."
For Lord Loki to speak like this, only ant that he was confident in his ability to end Lucifer's reign even with his peculiar immortality!
"No one is giving up on anything." Lady Sphinx inford, "I want your permission for my student to use your bloodline in his cultivation."
"Oho? Doesn't that an he will obtain my illusion domain? In addition to a limited illusion manipulation?" Lord Loki chuckled, "Isn't that a bit too steep for a favor?"
Lady Sphinx wasn't surprised that Lord Loki knew this much as his ans of gathering information was unlike any other.
If he wanted, he could easily use the consciousness link between Felix and Queen Ai to invade his dreams or mories to get what he desired without anyone knowing about it.
The only thod to avoid all of this was to not use AP Bracelet or the UVR, which was impossible with all the utilities they provide.
Without them, Felix wouldn't have accomplished even 40% of his current achievents...It was just not an option at all.
"I told you that when I co to you, I expect full cooperation." Lady Sphinx said with a flat tone, "You said your word is dear to you, now prove it and make it happen."
"You have co to with such a request even when you know what I did to my descendants?" Lord Loki showed a hidden sinister smile. "You sure fear nothing."
