1656 The Second Round! VIII (The End)
"First, put so respect to my na." Felix frowned coldly, "Secondly, you have taken my ho."
In Felix's eyes, without Asna, his partner in cri and the love of his life by his side, he had no ho to go back to...
Through Felix's cold and defensive deanor, Eris was able to notice his sincere emotions as he had ant every word he said.
"Interesting...If I may ask, does she share the sa love as you?" Eris inquired with a tone tinted with a bit of intrigue, "I was always under the impression that unigins are incapable of 'love'...We are above such a re chemical reaction as we can control it as we please. If 'love' can be manipulated, doesn't that take its value?"
"So, are you little ones truly in love with each other?" She pressed, her eyes had the sa glitter as Lady Sphinx's whenever she was interested in a subject.
While Felix was a bit taken aback by her desire for a conversation instead of getting rid of him, he had no intentions of shushing her.
He had to buy ti until his main finished with the devouring process and she was doing him a favor by giving him such a chance.
Alas, before he could open his lips and engage with her, she seed to have seen through his motives easily.
She shook her head and said, "I don't think I will get a genuine and truthful response if your mind is focused on sothing else."
"Let's fix that, shall we?"
With a subtle, deliberate motion, she flipped a single page of the mysterious to.
As the page turned, the letters inscribed upon it shimred with an otherworldly light, a visual symphony of order and chaos intertwined.
For a fleeting mont, the script seed to dance and twist upon the page, morphing into shapes and patterns that defied comprehension.
This was no ordinary text; it was the written embodint of the fundantal forces that Eris commanded!
At her command, the reality around her and Felix began to undergo a profound transformation.
The air shimred like a mirage, and the very fabric of space seed to warp and bend...A surreal distortion enveloped them, altering the landscape into sothing unrecognizable.
Gravity fluctuated erratically, causing objects to float and then suddenly plumt. Ti seed to stretch and compress, monts elongating into eternities before snapping back!
The elental forces present in the environnt behaved unpredictably, fire freezing, water burning, and light casting shadows!!
Felix caught amid this altered reality, found himself in a world where all conventional understanding was turned on its head!
Eris, the orchestrator of this chaos, observed the effects with a detached curiosity, her expression unreadable behind the lenses of her glasses.
The world around her was her canvas, and she painted with broad strokes of order and disorder, creating a landscape that was both bewildering and srizing.
'What's going on?'
Suddenly, Felix's expression changed for the worse after realizing that his spiritual connection with his main had been cut off!
He could no longer communicate with his main or other wisps...What's worse? The link between him and Asna's core was severed too, which implied his main consciousness was cut off from fuel!
The mont this happened, the real Felix felt the severance akin to a rope being snapped in his soul.
His reaction was the sa as his clone, incapable of believing what had just transpired.
His reaction was an understatent.
'Did I just lose my clone? No, did I just lose a part of my soul?'
He sensed like his clone was no longer related to him and that the portion of his soul that controlled it was gone with it.
He had no clue whether he got killed or captured and it f*cked with his mind, which left a small opening for Hephaestus to take advantage of.
'Chance...'
Alas, before Hephaestus could commit, he got smashed in the face with a flaming knee, breaking his nose into pieces and sending his teeth flying everywhere!
Opening or not, Felix was at a point of strength where even his mistakes could be corrected instantly!
Still, Felix realized that he couldn't put his focus on his clone at the mont.
'The other unigins must be rushing here at their top speed.' Felix frowned coldly, 'I have to end this fight with whatever is left of my celestial energy and retain so for my escape.'
Aware that his reserves were dwindling, Felix knew he required to adapt his strategy and conclude the battle with Hephaestus swiftly.
With a grim determination, Felix adjusted the intensity of his celestial flas.
He reduced their brilliance, conserving the precious energy that remained. This decision, while necessary, ant relinquishing so of his overwhelming advantage.
The flas, though less intense, still flickered around him.
To compensate for this reduction, Felix unleashed a newfound ferocity in his physical attacks!
Bam!! Bam!! Thud!!...
Each punch and kick was delivered with even greater violence, a raw display of brute strength!
Still, Hephaestus, sensing the shift in the tide of battle, discovered another glimr of opportunity amidst his dire circumstances.
'I have to buy ti to keep him here!!'
He saw how his peers took off for his rescue with Zeus' assistance and understood that with his speed, he would arrive here in less than two seconds, which was in unigins' senses, two minutes or so.
"AAAAAAAARGHHH!!!"
So, he roared at the top of his lungs furiously and began trading blows with Felix, using every ounce of his being to fight back!
Alas, even with the celestial flas' intensity lowered and the gap in their power bridged by a bit, it was nowhere enough to rival Felix in his current form.
After all, the celestial flas weren't the only thing enhancing Felix's strength, he had multiple symbols at work.
This caused Felix's relentless assault to continue unabated, each strike bringing Hephaestus closer to his inevitable defeat through the roars and his desperate last attempts...
This was not a movie where screaming and last-ditch efforts could magically turn the tide around...If he had the option to escape, then maybe, but with Asna's core glued to his, he was going nowhere without Felix.
This sealed his fate, now, and forever...
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
With one wretched scream that broke the sound barrier, Hephaestus's core, the very essence of his divine being, inexorably devoured by Asna's core at last.
The last bit of it was consud and Asna's core dimd down and returned inside Felix, uncaring about The god of the forge, whose soul seed to have left his rocky body.
Hephaestus, now a re shell of his forr self, faced Felix with a mix of resignation and a faint glimr of hope.
As Hephaestus gathered the remnants of his courage to plead for his life, his eyes conveyed a depth of emotion that spoke of regret, fear, and a desperate wish to survive.
He knew that as long as his core was within Asna's, he had no control over it, which in turn, created his existence subjected to Felix's rcy.
In this mont of vulnerability, he sought to appeal to whatever rcy might reside in Felix's heart.
"I...I..."
"Save your breath."
But before Hephaestus could articulate his plea, Felix acted.
With a cold and resolute expression, he delivered a final, devastating punch straight to Hephaestus's heart!
The force of the blow was catastrophic, piercing through the god's body, and erging from the other side.
This act was not just a physical strike; it was a symbolic end to their bitter rivalry and a return of favor to how he killed his other clone.
"You...Will...Regret...This...I...Will...Return...Rember......Rember...
"
As the last word left Hephaestus's mouth, Felix cast him aside like a discarded relic of a bygone era.
The god's body, devoid of its core, began to disintegrate, succumbing to the reality of its mortality.
The once mighty figure of Hephaestus crumbled, turning into black ashes carried away by an unseen wind...Each particle that drifted into the air was a poignant reminder of the impermanence of even the mightiest beings.
As Felix watched Hephaestus's ashes scattered into the distance, he couldn't help but mutter to himself while activating his greed laws, "Are you watching, Asna? I am coming, step by step, but I am coming...Just be patient with , for I will never forsake you..."
As the unigins created an appearance near the battlefield, the last sentence of Felix was the only thing they managed to obtain from this confrontation...Echoing in their ears loudly as they watched the scathing ashes of their peer with deep frowns.
They traded knowing gazes with each other as it finally dawned upon them that Felix wasn't a child who lost his way and ca here, but soone with an agenda, soone who would not let anything stop him from achieving it, even if it ant massacring all the unigins in the kingdom!
"We might need to rethink our plans and motives from this hunt. The Paragon has created it clear that he is coming for anyone who stands in his path." Athena uttered with a solemn tone as she eyed her peers, "So, are we going to free his path or reinforce our blockade?"
"What's your choice?"
