Chapter 1851 A Soul For Soul.
"We genuinely don't know if she is alive or not." Quantix Prime intervened to calm him, "The last time we saw her was when Athena chased her into your realm."
"When did this happen?" Felix narrowed his eyes.
"Years ago during the war in the tower's ruins." Quantix Prime anwsered.
Felix noticed no deceit in his tone, making him realize there were two truths...Either Commander Bia had successfully escaped Athena's chase by some miracle, or she was caught and they failed to extract information from her.
Otherwise, they would have found him much sooner than this.
Without bothering to say goodbye, Felix phased out of existence again, leaving them looking around them in vigilance.
"Forget it, he is gone." Quantix Prime said calmly.
"Your majesty, what are we going to do?" Krell inquired as he gazed behind him.
They were just told that Apollo was no longer a problem to the realm and they were still finding it hard to believe.
"Let's go back."
But, Quantix Prime trusted his words, feeling like someone with his celestial aura wouldn't bother to lie to them.
As expected, the moment they returned to the battlefield, they found out that nothing was left behind.
The portals were closed and the dark creatures were gone. The destruction of the forest was the only mark left behind from the war.
Everyone turned their gaze to the previous place of their capital city, which now had become nothing but empty air.
A wave of sorrow and depression took over immediately.
Quantix Prime had no intention of letting the death of the Quantaar ruin their morale.
"Citizens of the Empire," He spoke with a stern tone, "We stand on the brink of a new era, an era shadowed by the loss of our beloved guardian and pillar, The Quantaar. His strength and his inexhaustible protection have guided us for so long, it's only natural to feel great sorrow at his passing."
He paused for a moment as his eyes roamed across the faces before him, showing signs of nothing but grief and hopelessness.
"Quantum's legacy is not just the empire he helped build," Quantix Prime continued, his voice rising with conviction, "but the spirit of unity and courage he instilled in each of us."
"Today, we face an unpredictable future," He admitted, "but we also face it together. We will rebuild, we will heal, and we will grow stronger than ever."
His eyes suddenly blazed with murderous hatred as he looked in the direction of the Chaosian Empire.
"Prepare yourselves, my friends. The battle with the King of Darkness might have been concluded, but we still have one more pest to clean from our realm."
He pointed his weapon in their direction and bellowed, "Let's prove to all that the great nation of Vibronoxians never needed a guardian to stand above all!"
Whoaaaah!!! Whooaah!!!...
The troops erupted in a roar of approval, their spirits ignited by his fervor. It was like he had breathed a new life, a new purpose, into them.
Quantix Prime turned to Timeon and spoke coldly, "Call for the remainder of the nations, we have to get rid of the traitors as fast as possible."
"Agreed."
Timeon nodded in agreement, understanding that if the Chaosians were given a chance, they might make the first move and start picking on them one by one.

Meanwhile, Felix couldn't care less about the future of the quantum realm. He immediately took off toward the rift, knowing that he had to enter it before it closed. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
There wasn't much time before it happened.
'Universe, tell me whether primogenitor Bia is alive or dead.' Felix inquired, using the greed laws.
The universe gave back a response immediately after receiving the payment of dark creatures.
'Dead...She really died.' Felix sighed in frustration.
He realized that for Commander Bia to end up dead, yet his location remained unfound for years, it meant she had committed suicide.
In his eyes, there was no way Athena would eliminate her before extracting information.
'Show me how she died.' Felix requested again, his tone a bit heavy.
A spiritual scene played before his eyes and was shown to the others too. When they saw how Commander Bia didn't hesitate to blow her soul to protect Felix, they had no clue how to feel.
"She really went for it..."
"Her animosity of Uranus was so strong, she has no qualms repaying you in this manner for taking him down." Thor sighed.
"With the things he had done to her, I can understand her." Lady Yggdrasil murmured.
Felix remained silent, waving his hand to remove the memory. His expression was unreadable, but the tenants could feel that he was boiling inside.
'Eris, Apollo, Bia, and Quanatar...Four, four beings have decided to sacrifice themselves for my sake.' Felix's pupils span faster and faster, 'That's how weak you were, that's how dependent you were...But no more. This last stretch, this last hurdle is mine to take.'
If Felix wasn't in complete control of his emotions, he would have already flipped out. To have four people sacrifice themselves for him in one realm, proved that he was more than inadequate.
How could he save Asna when he was the one needing to be saved every time?
...
After a while, Felix reached at the rift near the tower's ruins...He went straight in, his eyes adjusting to pitch-black darkness immediately.
He ignored the massive dormant sea of dark creatures and went straight to the gateway, leading to the infinite corridor, packed with dimensional gaps created from two high-quality materials clashing at an atomic level.
"The dark creatures are no longer entering the gaps. The dark reaction didn't show up even while concocting a rank five potion." Lady Sphinx shared with them a microscopic scene of a rank-five potion concoction.
The mixture finished merging successfully without the dark reaction ever showing up, which made the potion hit a 100% success rate!
This was without using the final enhancement step!
"I guess the SGAlliance and the Witch Empire are going to have their hands full." Felix smiled, seemingly unbothered by this.
He didn't continue with the subject and pulled out both Apollo and Eris' cores from within him. He placed them next to each other and summoned the equal trade symbol.
Then, he initiated with Eris' revival, making a silent wish...The price? The dark creatures lying around him.
The fox symbol kept devouring them like no tomorrow, causing Felix's eyebrows to furrow. He realized that it might eat the entire army and it would be enough for just one.
"I need to sacrifice something else." Felix thought about it for a moment and then he remembered that he was still holding into someone.
A cold smile emerged on his face as he switched to his wisp in the consciousness space. Then, he walked to the crucified Uranus, who had been slumbering ever since he got caught.
"Aha, a soul for a soul." The tenants showed sinister smiles, figuring out what Felix intended to do.
Smack!
Felix slapped him in the right cheek until his head was about to pop off. Uranus jolted awake immediately, his muddled eyes opening up to the sight of Felix and the tenants surrounding him.
