After entering the cathedral, Felix was greeted with his throne awaiting him, untouched. Not even Nimo sat on it while he was gone.
"My lord, I hope your journey wasn't too difficult." Arthur checked with a respectful tone.
"It was manageable." Felix chuckled, knowing it was nothing but that.
The moment he took his seat and felt the cold surface of the throne, Felix showed a faint gentle smile.
"Somethings are still the same..." He murmured.
"Father, would you like me to change it?" Nimo inquired with a stern tone.
"No, I like it as it is." Felix waved his hand and then switched the subject, "I am more interested in knowing how far you have reached in your laws...Is there any improvement?"
"Plenty, I have been training nonstop on my sin-symbolic techniques." Nimo immediately started showing off by manifesting tens of sin-symbolic techniques.
He had a big smile as he was doing this, making it seem like he was trying to earn his father's approval.
"Not bad, you sure have worked hard." Felix was quite proud, knowing that mastering sin-symbolic techniques was a delicate process. Since Nimo was using seven sin powers through him, it meant that the access he had was quite limited.
"Of course, I am doing my best to be on your side when you attempt to rescue Mother." Nimo nodded, his eyes seemed to burn with a hint of hatred...It was directed at the three rulers.
"You don't have to do that." Felix smiled, "I already have your mother's situation covered."
"You already saved her?" Nimo's eyes widened.
"Not yet, but it won't be far." Felix requested, "Leave your mother's situation to me. If you want to help me, I will need infinite void creatures...The more, the merrier."
"Is it for wishes?" Meriem inquired.
"Something like that." Felix didn't want to elaborate too much.
"You got it, my lord." Arthur lowered his head in acceptance followed by the rest.
"They can handle such a task, I want to accompany you." Nimo requested stubbornly.
"Little Nimo, I am not sure I can survive my next battles." Felix shook his head, "I can't bring you with me even if I wanted, it's way too risky."
Moving forward, Felix understood that he must not bring any extra liability with him. While Nimo's strength was at the apex too, he would be nothing if he were to face the three rulers.
Felix was certain the three rulers would use his son against him if they became desperate enough.
"But..."
"Don't worry, you can accompany me with your wisp." Felix patted him on the head.
Nimo wanted to try and convince Felix, but a simple look in his father's eyes made him understand that he was determined in his decision.
He could only sigh and nod his head in understanding...At least, he would be joining him in his mind, which wasn't too terrible.
...
After spending some time in the void nation and helping his subordinates grow stronger with his new stone of reality powers merged with the laws, Felix left them be.
He made sure to enhance the Wrathful Creators mostly to help him produce many more void creatures.
Void creatures might not be as efficient as dark creatures, but they could still get transferred to celestial energy.
When he returned to his dragonic clone, he didn't need to say much before Apollo and Eris appeared next to him.
"Hades?" Eris asked.
"Lord Hades." Felix nodded.
The moment he confirmed it, a spiritual passage manifested in front of them.
"Well, someone is excited to see you." Apollo raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"Let's go."
Felix ignored him and stepped into the spiritual passage as a wisp in the shape of a humanoid spirit...Eris and Apollo followed after him.
The moment their eyes adjusted to the light, they found themselves floating above the heavenly plane.
It was as beautiful and peaceful as the last time Felix visited it. Immense expanses of greenery were occupied by white-spirited animals of different species.
When they lifted their heads, their eyes met with Lord Hades' Palace. It exuded an aura of ancient power and tranquil authority, matching Lord Hades' demeanor.
"Hadey sure knows how to enjoy life."
Apollo whistled with an impression expression as they headed towards the magnificent palace.
"Is it your first time here?" Felix raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"Yes." Apollo replied, "Hadey has never allowed any unigin to enter his realm wantonly."
"What about you?" Felix turned to Eris.
"Likewise." Eris shook her head, "Hadey doesn't believe in neutrality. You are either with or against the three rulers. So, he always refused to welcome us in his territory."
"I see..."
Knowing Lord Hades' persona, Felix wasn't quite surprised by this. He kinda agreed with his take on the matter.
Unigins shouldn't be trusted and if it wasn't for Felix in control of both Eris and Apollo's cores, he wouldn't have been this outgoing with their support...Even though they sacrificed their lives for him.
Once rely was gone, it was very hard to retrieve it...Lilith had done unrepairable damage to his trust when it came to dealing with unigins.
...
Sometime later...
Felix, Apollo, and Eris entered the throne chamber and met with Lord Hades, sitting on his throne akin to the underworld god he was.
As one of the top five upper celestial unigins, his authority and strength weren't to be trifled with even when he barely possessed any celestial energy.
"Lord Hades, we meet again." Felix immediately stepped forward and bowed his head respectfully.
Felix couldn't care less about his current social status when dealing with Lord Hades, who he considered as one of his masters.
Celestial or not, he was going to always act respectfully before him...He owed him too much.
"Little one, you have grown to an unimaginable height." Lord Hades cracked a faint smile on his corpse-like face.
"Hadey, I didn't think you were capable of smiling." Apollo chuckled.
"Hades, it's a pleasure to see you again," Eris uttered calmly.
"I wish I could say the same, traitors." Lord Hades uttered coldly.
"You still hung up on that?" Apollo sighed with his arms extended, "Come on Hadey, what did you want us to do?"
"He is right, I have no interest in your little conflict with the three rulers and most definitely won't exit the kingdom to make a stand," Eris uttered calmly.
"Look where your stubbornness has brought you." Lord Hades snickered.
"Hmm? I couldn't be happier." Apollo grinned merrily, "I received rid of that annoying f*cker and at last I have a chance to do a universal tour."
"Don't look at me." Eris shrugged, "I am closer to the truth than ever, I have no regrets."
"..."
Lord Hades went silent, knowing that it was impossible to guilt-trip them for not taking his side. Just as he was going to drop it and focus on Felix, he ended up being inquired by him.
"May I know what happened between you guys?" Felix rubbed his chin in intrigue, "Is this related to sealing the spirit realm and the three rulers' desire to access it?"
"More or less." Apollo anwsered for him. "You see, Hadey here is the only unigin who rejected to join the eternal kingdom or assist with its creation."
