Chapter 1918  What Have You Done…

Meanwhile, a few moments earlier…

Felix and Asna were still holding strong against Brahma’s spiritual pressure, but everyone could see that it wouldn’t be long before they got overwhelmed.

‘Damn it! Grow faster! faster!’

 Felix gritted his teeth in desperation, releasing every ounce of his spiritual pressure, holding nothing back.

If it weren’t for his spiritual pressure increasing continuously, he would have already gotten crushed with Asna!

“Felix! I don’t see another way out! I have to do it!” Asna yelled.

She wasn’t having it any better than Felix. Her knees were already getting buckled in while her face contorted to an unrecognizable look.

The pressure was so intense, it felt like they were being crushed by the weight of the entire universe!

‘No! We just need to hold on! Their form is bound to weaken!’ Felix rejected her suggestion vehemently.

During their preparation, they had decided on a last Hail Mary strategy in case they were placed in a deadlock with no way out.

It was none other than making Asna blow her soul to pieces right next to the three rulers! They knew that a celestial soul explosion was powerful enough to take down even celestials if they were hit by it directly without countermeasures.

If it didn’t succeed, it would give Felix enough energy to deconstruct into more celestial energy, which would refuel his tank!

But, Felix knew that it would be useless against the current Brahma’s form.

“They will easily survive the explosion in this form!” Felix groaned in pain as he got pushed into his knees, “The energy produced won’t be helpful to me at all!”

If it was any other situation, Felix wouldn’t be saying this.

But, he understood that what he needed was time and not energy since his spiritual pressure was trying its best to catch up while feeding on his celestial energy.

“Still struggling? Why…You already know the outcome.” Suddenly, Brahma’s cold harmonious voice resounded on the battlefield…When Felix and Asna looked at their taunting expressions, their hearts burned up in hatred and wrath.

Alas, such emotions had no place in this conflict.

Both of them knew that the three rulers were using spiritual pressure to ensure that neither of them utilized their seven virtue/sin laws on them.

After all, while the spiritual pressure forced them to stay in place, it also forced Felix and Asna to focus on nothing but defending against it.

Otherwise, a mere lapse of focus was enough for the waves to crush on them akin to tsunamis, making it impossible to recover from it.

‘If you want to win against their spiritual pressure, you need another celestial heart or the assistant of one.’ Eris shared with a solemn tone, ‘Right now, it’s three celestial hearts merged against two celestial hearts. It will be impossible to win even if the spiritual enhancement concluded.’

Felix heard her and knew that she was right…That’s why, he was only seeking to resist and hold until their form died out.

But, it wasn’t looking too good…

Just as the three rulers were about to fire another taunt, knowing that Felix’s and Asna’s were sealed, their senses picked up an unsettling feeling.

It wasn’t just them.

“Did you feel that?” Athena narrowed her eyes in confusion.

“Yes, it’s coming from the matter universe.”

Aeolus and Artemis nodded with solemn looks as they extended their senses to peer at what was going on out there to make their senses tingle this way.

Their divine senses reached out, scanning the vast stretches of the universe beyond the pocket dimension.

When everyone’s eyes landed on the ocean of fallen corpses across the entire universe, their eyes couldn’t help but widen in disbelief.

As Felix saw the corpses of his friends and subordinates, his pupils reflected nothing but utter indifference.

He managed to shut down his emotions at first sight, knowing that it was going to affect him gravely, ruining his focus instantly.

This even made him think that the three rulers had something to do with this to destabilize his heart.

But, before this thought could register in his mind, everyone managed to find out the culprit behind such a harrowing scene.

The universe gave them a hint as a golden divine pillar emerged from within Queen Ai’s location, piercing through the seven skies!

As the heavens split open, bathed in the glow of Queen Ai’s divine ascension, everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief at the immense spiritual pressure released within the pillar.

“How is this possible…” Artemis covered her mouth.

“A goddess… born before our eyes,” Aeolus murmured in awe as he watched a goddess-like figure of Queen Ai emerge from the golden pillar.

“Queen Ai…” Even Felix and Asna had their eyes on her while still struggling against Brahma’s overwhelming pressure.

They couldn’t believe their eyes as it fed them a new look of Queen Ai, being radiant and as beautiful as any celestial being.

She possessed a divine humanoid body while her skin was smooth and perfect. Her eyes were soft, luminous silver, reflecting the vast knowledge of the cosmos hidden beneath them.

Unlike any holographic variation of Queen Ai, her eyes seemed brimming with life.

She was wearing nothing, but her long lustrous gray hair covered most of her curves, making her exude the grace of a goddess, who has transcended all limitations.

She gazed down at her palms, her fingers gently curling as if she were feeling the warmth of her new flesh for the first time.

Her lips parted slightly, and in a soft, almost disbelieving whisper, she murmured, “Is this… how being alive feels like?”

As everyone heard her feminine and gentle voice, the familiar monotonous voice they were used to, shattered in their minds akin to a broken mirror.

“Are my eyes playing a trick on me…How can this happen?!” Thor exclaimed in shock, his reaction shared by everyone involved.

“Loki, what have you done…”

Lady Sphinx was quick to realize that this was Loki’s doing as she was one of the few ones, who knew that he was involved in a hidden experiment.

But, not in her wildest dreams, had she expected him to be so bold, so cruel, to sacrifice 99% of the SGAlliance’s population for this.

“I did what needed to be done.” Loki didn’t shy away from responsibility as he didn’t hesitate to call Felix, “Felix! Bring her in!”

This was the beauty of having complete control over one’s emotions.

Felix heard their conversation and knew that Loki was responsible for the death of everyone, even his loved ones.

Yet, the moment he heard his voice, he didn’t hesitate to open up a void portal, connecting him with Queen Ai!

It took him no time to realize that Loki decided to bet everything and everyone on him, which wasn’t fair in the slightest to the entire population of the universe.

After all, in his eyes, if Felix won, he would become the universe’s consciousness and would have the power to restore everything and everyone to normal.

But, if he lost, the three rulers would kill them all and would reach the other side.

Why, this was unfair to the mortals? Whether Felix won or lost, they had nothing to do with their heavenly matters.

In other words, even if they lost, the three rulers wouldn’t have touched them!

That’s why Loki knew that what he did was despicable and if it wasn’t for Felix’s ability to keep his emotions under his control, he would have already crashed out.

After all, he was wasting a great deal of heavenly energy to protect everyone in the alliance, just to have them killed by none other than his ally!

It was the ultimate treachery even if it was done to save him.

But, Felix’s mind completely blocked those thoughts and had him focus on one thing…WIN!

Why? Because he understood that defeat no longer affected him and Asna alone. If he lost, all lives lost because of Loki’s insidious plan would fall with him.

All of this went through Felix’s mind as he gazed at Queen Ai’s step through the void portal from behind them in a graceful fashion.

She had a wide stunning grin as she extended her palm and placed it on his back.

“Felix Maxwell…You were one of the few ones treating me kindly and not as a mere tool ever since you had me…” Queen Ai said gently, “I only have three seconds at most before my awareness collapses…There is nothing I can do about it, but if it’s you, I don’t mind listening to my father’s orders one last time.”

As she uttered this, memories of how Felix always thanked Queen Ai and spoke to her in a polite tone even when he had gotten much stronger than her, resurfaced in his mind.

For almost everyone with an AP Bracelet and a connection to Queen Ai, she was nothing but a mere tool or a weapon…A tool to fulfill everyone’s requests and a weapon that kept the SGAlliance safe and in order.

But, Felix saw her as an entity with a soul and treated her as such simply because she was always good to him.

Asna always questioned his attitude towards Queen Ai, saying that he was an idiot for doing that.

Who would have thought that a day would come when those little benevolent actions, that everyone ignored and thought of as useless, would be the very reason he was being helped…

“Queen Ai…”

Before Felix could react, he suddenly felt the intense spiritual pressure of Brahma’s weaken immensely like she had taken the bulk of it on herself!

“I can only take off some of the pressure for a few moments. I know it’s not much…”

Queen Ai uttered with a slight grimace as she channeled all of her spiritual pressure to fend off Brahma’s.

“No, It’s everything I ever needed.” Felix uttered with a cold tone.
