He came to the dreadful realization that he might have underestimated the extent of the three rulers' celestial pool even when he took great measures to avoid falling into this trap.
From what he saw, the three rulers always made it seem like they were beggars when it came to celestial energy as they refused to even spare a little to facilitate their plans.
But now? All three of them were tapping into their shared pool like it was infinite, creating techniques that he was certain would consume an unfathomable amount of celestial energy.
'They have given up on using their celestial energy to break past the universe's heart.' Eris proclaimed with a solemn tone, 'They are putting everything on the line to secure your celestial and unigins cores, planning to use them instead.'
Felix didn't doubt her judgment for a second as he was going through a constant barrage of beams from the celestial sun, each one more potent than the last.
The worst part? His intuition screamed at him to not use his celestial black flames to block or absorb those lances of fire.
Felix trusted his intuition more than anything, leaving him to dodge frantically, his body flickering in and out of the shadows.
Amun-Ra's laughter echoed across the battlefield. "Run, vermin! Run while you can! You'll burn, just like everything else before my true sun!"
Felix ignored the mocking laughter and glanced up at the colossal celestial body, its overwhelming presence filling the sky. After what happened to Asna, his clone, and now him, he understood that in a battle between celestials, his laws were utterly useless and that unigins truly had absolutely no f*cking shot of defeating a single ruler even if they ganged up on him!
Even Ares included wouldn't make much difference.
Everyone believed that he had a slight chance of defeating a ruler but in reality? Their thought process was laughable.
It seemed like Ares also knew that his chances of defeating a ruler were closer to none, which was the reason he never cashed in his favor and battled one of them.
He knew it was nothing but a suicide mission compared to actually ending his saga against someone on equal ground to him.
'Divine abilities, ultimate divine techniques, is this the full extent of their powers or are they still hiding some other cards?' Felix narrowed his eyes as he kept avoiding the rain of celestial beams.
With all of his preparations and power-ups, Felix realized that the three rulers were like bottomless pits, no one truly understood the full extent of their strength...
Why? No one came along to push them to their limit and unfortunately for Felix, this job had fallen in his arms.
Nevertheless, none of this had pushed Felix into despair or such. He was taken back, correct, but not scared.
Why? He also had his own cards.
'Asna, I am about to start.' He shared indifferently.
'Oki.'
Upon hearing her relaxed charming voice, Felix didn't need to observe her battle to know that she had it covered.
Although they expected her to run the three rulers over after awakening and becoming the universe's consciousness, Felix still made sure to teach her all there was about combat during the hundred thousand years of preparation.
After all, Asna had never gone through a real fight once in her life.
Good thing he prepared her...Otherwise, she would have been played like a fiddle by Medusa if she planned on relying on her spiritual pressure to win.
"Aren't you getting a bit too comfortable?"
Amun-Ra's laughter died down after noticing that his beams weren't landing on target. He lifted his Ankh above until its shadowy figure overlapped with the Celestial Sun. Then, he uttered, "Return."
Suddenly, Felix's ears twitched after noticing the fast-approaching dreadful presence of the beams from behind!!
Without turning his head, Felix instantly blinked to a different location just to see that his previous area getting absolutely showered by the beams!
With thinned pupils, he watched as they reverted to the slightly dimming sun, restoring its size and vitality like it wasted absolutely nothing!
"If you thought about evading the beams until the sun exhausts itself, then you are quite foolish." Amun-Ra jeered mockingly.
Felix said nothing as he comprehended that Amun-Ra controlled everything related to the Celestial Sun.
This meant that as long as the released beams remained in the eternal kingdom, he could easily bring them back to the sun, resulting in almost no waste of energy!
"Let's make it a bit additional entertaining for you."
With a sinister smile, Amun-Ra lifted his scepter to touch the sun until the head went through it.
Then, he pulled it out, dripping with burning hot celestial golden lava. It was so heated, Felix noticed that the divine scepter's head was barely staying linked to the shaft.
He didn't need to imagine what would happen to him if he were to get touched by it.
Whoosh!
Amun-Ra didn't give him much time either as he instantly appeared behind him, swinging his searing hot scepter at his head!
This wasn't all...He fired countless beams from the sun in different directions, seemingly limiting his blinking locations.
But, Felix easily evaded his scepter while at the same time, dancing around the beams, each one bypassing him by a hair strand.
Since those beams could also hurt Amun-Ra, he joined Felix in the dance. The only difference was that he controlled the beams and knew about their trajectory beforehand unlike Felix.
This allowed him to join the beams in a mesmerizing spectatorship, making it seem like he was in perfect unison with their pattern.
Yet, he was still incapable of hitting Felix!
The viewers, who were tuning in to all three battles simultaneously, couldn't help but appreciate Felix's fancy footwork and coolheadedness.
"He is truly a distinct breed to be this daring." Aeolus said with an awed look.
"He has just eaten the full brunt of an ultimate technique and he still dares to play along with Amun-Ra's relentless assault instead of changing the entire battlefield." Artemis murmured, "If I was in his place, I would have dipped the moment I learned about ultimate techniques and maintained on running until I figured them out."
Artemis' strategy was quite sound since the eternal kingdom's territory was infinite. Besides the mainland, the void stretched for eternity since this was a mirroring realm to the universe too, just like the spirit realm, void realm, etc.
In other words, while both parties were sealed inside this dimension, it was a big one, and she believed that the three rulers wouldn't be able to catch them if they truly wanted to run away.
After all, their spiritual pressure was similar, making it impossible for the rulers to pinpoint their location if they used it to hide their presence.
"Your logic is indeed sound, but you are forgetting one important fact." Athena conveyed with a stern tone, "The three rulers are holding the SGAlliance hostage."
The moment she was reminded, Artemis switched her vision to the SGAlliance territory, just to find out that Felix still had the celestial barrier on it, protecting everyone from the three rulers' random massacres.
She knew that as long as the barrier was up, Felix's celestial energy was being devoured at a rapid rate, unlike the rulers, who needed to attack only when the barrier was done.
"The paragon needs to ditch those mortals if he wants a fair fight." Aeolus frowned as he watched Felix continue to elude Amun-Ra.
"He will never ever go for it." Artemis said softly, "His origins are distinct than ours."
"Then, he is fighting a losing battle." Aeolus shook his head, "It won't be long before he exhausts his pool and gets left without any protection."
"This is the paragon we are talking about, I am sure he has a plan." Athena narrowed her eyes in focus, feeling strongly that Felix would turn on the offense soon enough...
