Chapter 1523: When The Sword Comes Forward, The Pen Falls Down.

1523 When The Sword Comes Forward, The Pen Falls Down.

Back in the lab...

Felix was the only one who didn't hear the thunderous clap. He stood up from the table and sat on its edge with a disoriented look, having a peculiar undescribable feeling he never experienced before.

"Is this what it feels like to return for death?" He muttered in a daze and lifted his head to look around him.

The moment his eyes landed on Lady Sphinx, he couldn't take them off from her anymore.

"Master..."

Felix rarely got emotional, but the sight of his master after losing his life made him unable to remain seated anymore.

Before Lady Sphinx could speak, she found herself enveloped in a deep, heartfelt hug. She gasped softly at first, her surprise giving way to warmth as his arms encircled her.

Her guard dropped completely, and a gentle, genuine smile graced her lips. She leaned into the hug, her fingers softly caressing his hair.

"Welcome back." She murmured.

Although Lady Sphinx was strict, stern, and always hard on Felix...She really cared about him just like a son and whether she could admit it out loud or not, she missed him dearly in the past century.

"Sphinx, what's the meaning of this?"

Unfortunately, their heartfelt hug was interrupted by Lord Quetzalcoatl after his wisp merged with him and he witnessed what happened to him on the other side.

His friendly tone was nowhere to be seen.

"What are you on about?" Lady Sphinx frowned.

"Don't act dumb with me now, we are both above it." Lord Quetzalcoatl remarked with a disgruntled expression, "What's your boy's relation to Lord Hades? And did you guys ask for my help while knowing that Lord Hades will be on me? I came to do you a favor and you set me up like this?"

It was within his right to be mad as no one would accept such a scenario.n(/.-/--(-.-/I-.n

"I..."

"Master, let me handle it."

Felix interrupted Lady Sphinx, not wanting to put her in a position to be scolded for something related to him.

Lady Sphinx smiled and remained silent, letting him take care of it.

"Kid, I wasn't addressing you." Lord Quetzalcoatl eyed Felix coldly.

Lord Quetzalcoatl might be playful, friendly, and upbeat, but it didn't mean that he would let anyone ride on his back and disrespect him like this.

"This is my matter and you will talk to me." Felix replied collectedly.

"Is that so?"

Lord Quetzalcoatl applied his formidable spiritual pressure on Felix,expecting him to yield, and to bow to his authority as an Elemental Lord.

But Felix, resolute and unfazed, refused to back down. Instead, he summoned his own spiritual pressure, matching Quetzalcoatl's with unwavering resolve.

"Kid, just because you can handle primogi..."

Before Lord Quetzalcoatl could finish his sentence, he started to sense Felix's spiritual pressure growing in intensity and force with each passing moment!

"Huh?"

Just as he was processing this inconceivable situation, Felix's spiritual pressure surged forth like a tidal wave, overwhelming Quetzalcoatl's own!

The ancient deity's resistance crumbled under the sheer power of Felix's spirit, and his spiritual pressure was forcibly taken down!

"..."

"..."

"..."

The shock that coursed through the primogenitors was palpable at such an unbelievable sight...Even the elemental lords in Lady Sphinx's mind were left utterly stunned.

All of them heard from Elder Kraken that Felix's spiritual pressure was told to be more advanced than primogenitors after his new empowerment, but hearing about it was one thing, and witnessing it in action was another.

It was a moment that defied their understanding of the natural order, a moment where an indomitable human spirit had bested a deity's might!

'I can't believe this...Felix has really leveled up his social status above primogenitors. No wonder the universe made such a sound, it was the birth of the first human above all mortals and deities.' Thor muttered in a daze.

'This is unreal...' Carbuncle responded, just as taken back as him. 'He can now singlehandedly own the entire universe if he desires as long as the unigins do not interfere.'

'It can be said, that he has really reached the pinnacle.' Lord Shiva snickered, 'Who would have pondered he would pull it off.'

Everyone in Lady Sphinx's mind was working their best to help Felix reach this stage or at least get close to it.

Now, that he had achieved it somewhat overnight, it left them unable to accept it right away.

It might be just spiritual pressure and one's strength depended on many other qualities, but all of them understood that without a spiritual pressure to back them up, they were utterly meaningless.

It was like a mortal standing against a primogenitor. It didn't matter if he spent millions of years mastering his elemental manipulation, one glance from a primogenitor was enough to put him in his place!<novelsnext> I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>

Abruptly, the deafening silence was broken by Felix as he articulated with his head bowed in the direction of Lord Quetzalcoatl.

"Elder, I deeply apologize for making you get punished by Lord Hades. It was never our intention to cause you trouble. If you lent us an ear, we can explain the situation and then you can be the judge whether Lord Hades' punishment was a good thing or not."

"Huh? Yes, of course."

Lord Quetzalcoatl woke up from his daze and anwsered absentmindedly, seemingly still trying his best to process what had just happened.

As they said when the sword comes forward, the pen falls down.

Now, that Felix had displayed that he wasn't to be f*cked with, he had gained Lord Quetzalcoatl's attention forcefully even with the age disparity between them.

It was like Lord Quetzalcoatl had no other choice but to respect having a conversation with Felix since he was considered now as the weaker side!

Soon, Felix began narrating a bit of what happened during the eternal kingdom's invasion and how Lord Hades was on his toes with any foreign entry.

He obviously didn't give him the details and just enough to believe him.

He went this far since Lord Quetzalcoatl had indeed been good to them and it wouldn't be in their best interest to get on his bad side or create a lasting grudge.

After he was done with the narration, Lord Quetzalcoatl turned to Lady Sphinx and she backed him up with a single head nod, making him understand that the situation was far more complex than he anticipated.

"They actually dared to invade the spirit realm and almost won...F*ck, how did I miss such an event!"

Lord Quetzalcoatl held his head in frustration at the thought of not being there to witness such a glorious war.

"We know you have a big mouth, but you must keep this to yourself." Lady Sphinx warned, "Lord Hades wouldn't take it nicely if he knew that the invasion's news is spreading out."

"You don't have to tell me twice." Lord Quetzalcoatl agreed with a faint shiver coursing down his spine after recalling what Lord Hades did to him.

He felt his wrath through and through, making him understand that he was done fooling around and being polite.

He also realized that if it wasn't for Felix's mission, he might have entered the spirit realm at a different time and got caught by him.

Then, he might not even receive a couple of slaps and a warning, but utter erasure right there and then.

Unigins couldn't give a sh*t about the primogenitors' lives as they see them just like any other mortal.

"So, we good?" Felix asked with a faint smile.

Lord Quetzalcoatl stared deeply into Felix's eyes, knowing that there were so many juicy secrets he was hiding.

Like the fact that his relationship with Lord Hades was so good he allowed him to get revived with his memories intact.

Or his spiritual pressure reaching a drastic level even primogenitors had no clue how to achieve.

Still, he nodded. "We good."

Just like Felix didn't want to create a grudge against Lord Quetzalcoatl, he also realized that it was best to be on his side...Especially now more than ever.

"Thank you for everything elder, I am indebtly grateful for your revival and if you require anything from me, please do not hesitate to ask." Felix bowed in appreciation again.

"Haha, I will take you by your word."

Lord Quetzalcoatl chuckled in approval and left them alone, not wanting to overstay his welcome.

He didn't even bother to ask Felix about his spiritual pressure and other details, knowing that if he hadn't mentioned them, then he wasn't interested in sharing their information.

"You see why strength is the most important thing?" Fenrir stepped forward and articulated expressionlessly, "If your spiritual pressure didn't put him in his place, the conversation would have taken a much different turn."

"It's good, but it's not enough," Felix replied calmly, not feeling an ounce of pleasure or happiness at flexing his shoulders on Lord Quetzalcoatl.

He knew what awaited him at the eternal kingdom and this wasn't even enough to get him an entry past its gate.

"Everything will come at its rightful time. I always tell you don't rush your improvement." Lady Sphinx patted him on the head and articulated with an irritated tone, "Now, take those annoying bastards back in your mind. I have had enough of them."

Before Felix could reply, Lady Sphinx had already linked his soul with hers and forcefully kicked everyone into his consciousness space, uncaring about their disgruntled curses.

'Not cool Sphinxy!'

'My joint is ruined...'

'What a tyrant!'

'Your consciousness sucks anyways!'

'Ahh...Home sweet home.'

A content and peaceful smile slowly spread across Felix's face as he heard the familiar voices of his masters and tenants returning, their presence occupying his consciousness space once more.

These were the voices that had guided him, mentored him, and provided him with the strength and wisdom to overcome countless challenges.

As much as it was annoying to hear them speak in his mind before, it was a million times worse to be left alone with his own thoughts...Just one year in the heavenly plane made him appreciate their company more than anything.

'Welcome back, masters...'

    1528 Spreading A Rumor!
    Felix had nothing against Selphie as she was soft, gentle, very nice, and competent. She always treated him right and showed him the respect he deserved from day one, which was everything one could ask for.
    She was literally a dream girl for every man in the universe.
    Unfortunately, while he wanted their relationship to stay in friendship, she made it obvious that she desired more even when he had already rejected her directly.
    'She is the only one hurting from this.' Felix smiled wryly..
    In the end, Felix had put Lord Loki's suggestion at the back of his mind, not wanting to start a new problem out of nothing when he had many important matters to handle.
    ***
    After spending more than a couple of days with his friends, catching up on everything and just enjoying their time together through parties, hangouts, and such, Felix finally sent them back home and had the rest of the week to himself.
    Even when was hanging out with them, he didn't get into relaxation mode at all due to Asna's crisis and Nimo's peculiar situation.
    His friends had noticed his attitude and questioned him many times about it, but Felix shrugged it off until they gave up on asking him.
    "Is there really no way of reaching out to Candace or Nimo?" Felix frowned.
    He was sitting on the central table with the majority of the tenants.
    "I have tried, but there is no presence of them." Lady Sphinx replied, "Ever since Candace's wisp disappeared from my consciousness space, we heard nothing from Nimo's side."
    Felix was informed that two decades ago, Candace and the majority of the void nation citizens had gone missing.
    The Ruiner, Meriam, Arthur, and the rest of the councilmen were also gone...They could neither be reached out through the Queen nor found in any territory across the alliance.
    It was like they were snatched out of existence.
    "I am afraid this has to be related to Nimo as no one has such an overbearing authority on the void creatures besides him and the Paragon."
    Felix didn't like this notion in the slightest...He knew that Nimo still possessed the emotional control of a child and ever since he was declared dead, he had completely lost it.
    Felix thought that after his return, he could get things corrected easily. But now? He had no clue what to think anymore.
    He couldn't even reach out to Nimo and find out what he was doing.
    "The void creatures' numbers have been reduced significantly and continuously over the past two decades." Thor narrowed his eyes, "Nimo is up to something and we have no clue if it's good or bad."
    Realizing that only one person could help them at the moment, Felix requested out loud. "Lord Khoas, is it possible that you have his location?"
    Felix knew that Lord Khaos had a significant interest in Nimo and there was no way he would let him roam free without tracking him.
    His assumption was correct, still, the answer he received didn't solve his problem.
    "I lost his track a long while ago." Lord Khaos's deep cosmic voice resounded across the consciousness space, "He used his laws to hinder my vision of him."
    "He is getting smarter, I don't know if I should feel proud or worried." Felix smiled wryly.
    "I think the best way to find him is through announcing your return." Thor suggested, "If we can't locate him, we should make him reach out to us."
    Felix and the others agreed. But, Felix didn't want to alert the darkins and Lucifer, knowing that being in the dark gave him a tremendous advantage over them.
    "It's best to focus on Lucifer first." Lady Sphinx shared, "As long as we secure the merge, we can then deal with other matters."
    "You're right."
    As much as Felix wanted to find Nimo, he understood that Lucifer must be his number one priority since if he lost him or such, nothing else would matter.
    "Dealing with him is simple, just spread some rumors about you being spotted in some place and if he still desires his ascension, he will definitely come by to take a look." Jörmungandr suggested.
    Rumors and Felix coming out publicly were two different things.
    No one would believe such rumors since Felix was announced dead longer than a century by now. But for those desperate for him to be alive? They wouldn't hesitate to travel half the universe to check with their own eyes the rumors' legitimacy.
    "That sounds like a plan." Felix agreed.
    If it was up to him, he would have rather relied on Lord Hades' assistance in locating Lucifer as he made it obvious that he had everything under his vision.
    But, Lord Hades hadn't responded to Felix's calls ever since his return, making him understand that this was a one-way connection between them.
    He would talk to him only if he had achieved the missions he had given him and needed to move up.
    "We at least know that he is on the other side, so we can start the gossip there." Elder Kraken said.
    They were certain about this since Lord Khoas also had eyes across the universe and the only blind spot he had was on the other side where the paragon of sins slumbers.
    Without further ado, Felix and his masters began putting details on their plan.
    ***
    On the other side of the universe...
    Lucifer could be seen pacing back and forth, his fiery eyes ablaze with determination and a hint of madness as he explained, "I can feel it, my friends. The cosmic clap we experienced was no ordinary event. It was related to him! He has returned."
    Wendigo and Saurous glanced at each other for a instant before Wendigo waved his hand at his brother, seemingly telling him to handle this lunatic.
    "Lucifer, you've always had a flair for the dramatic. But, this? This is taking it too far."
    "Believe me god damn it!" Lucifer grew impatient and angrier, "Both of us share the same destiny! Do you think he will go and die just like that? Don't be foolish! Even if you don't trust my judgment, you should trust my mother's!"
    "Why, did she tell you that he has returned?" Wendigo leaned closer with a serious expression.
    "No, but do you think she will create me two times and suffer from the universe's punishment for absolutely nothing?" Lucifer's gaze did not waver as he continued to make his case.
    While his statements did make some sense, it was not enough to move Saurous and Wendigo.
    "That vermin has died. I am not too delighted by not being the one killing him personally, but he is dead." Wendigo disclosed sternly, "End of story."
    "You heard him, now scram," Saurous said.
    "You..."
    Lucifer was livid at their nonchalant treatment, feeling like he was being taken as a lunatic for reaching out to them with such nonsense.
    If it wasn't for the fact he needed their help to facilitate the search and battle, he would have never put himself in such a humiliating position.
    Not wanting to lower his pride and beg them, Lucifer merely excused himself with a frigid look.
    "What an absolute buffoon." Suarous chuckled in ridicule, "I feel it he said, feel what? Does he think he and that brat share the same soul or what?"
    "Put it to rest." Wendigo yawned. "We just have to keep our distance from him, he seems to be losing it on a daily basis."
    "Couldn't agree more."
    A couple of days later, Wendigo and Saurous were forced to eat those words after finding out about a new hot piece of rumor and a short clip spreading in the other side's network.
    The short clip showed a similar-looking person to Felix captured while he was walking across a busy market on planet Gorrana, which was still ruled by the Luminaris Race.
    The footage was seized from a high angle and lasted for a mere two seconds before it ended.
    The title of the footage was: The Previous Grand Supreme Leader is Alive?!!
    This footage alone had more than fifty trillion clicks in less than a couple of minutes of it being posted!

      1529 Looking For Me?
      "Is this sh*t real?"
      Saurous' eyes widened to the limit while placing them a mere inch away from Felix's foggy face in the clip.
      "Stop fooling around, it's clearly fake news to get some attraction." Wendigo didn't seem too interested in the clip. "Anyone can copy that brat's face and create viral news about him to increase their social media's visibility."
      "I know that, but this, this boy's face albeit unclear, gives me the urge to punch it..." Saurous muttered, "Only that brat makes me feel this way.".
      Wendigo rolled his shadowy eyes and ignored him.
      "Whatever, I know that lunatic will most definitely check this out even if there was a 0.001% chance of it being more than a rumor."
      Saurous dropped the matter for now, knowing that Lucifer would check its legitimacy for them.
      'It's him!'
      As he anticipated, Luciferdidn't have an ounce of doubt in his mind about Felix's identity in the clip as the moment he looked into his eyes, he sensed the same familiar connection!
      He wanted at the start to take this information to the darkins and seek their assistance in taking down Felix, not wanting to take any risks in his second chance.
      But, he concluded up rejecting the notion after remembering their previous attitude.
      'Evil Manifestation.'
      Lucifer used a tiny hidden portion of evil energy, which was stored in Gorrana, and manifested his body through it.
      He had placed his evil energy in many areas around the other side to ensure his freedom of movement.
      To avoid trouble with the alliance and the primogenitors, he controlled the evil energy to not spread out again.
      Even though he had the strength to create massive chaos in the universe in Felix's absence, he decided to remain lowkey.
      The ascension was his end goal and if creating chaos wasn't going to fulfill it, there was no point in wasting his time and energy.
      After he disguised himself, he took off in the direction of Gorrana's capital city.
      In less than a couple minutes, he had invaded it and arrived at the busy marketplace, where the video was taken.
      He closed his eyes for a moment and activated his senses to the limit, unbothered by the noise around him.
      Unfortunately, his senses failed to pick anything.
      'Did he already leave? The clip was taken not long ago, he can't have walked...fa.'
      Before Lucifer could finish his thought, a hand was placed on his right shoulder out of nowhere.
      "Looking for me?"
      A devilish-like whisper followed soon after, sending a cold shiver down Lucifer's spine after recognizing the voice.
      'I...'
      Whoosh! Whoosh!
      Just as he wanted to put some distance, he found himself in a different place. A small dimensional pocket, resembling a pristine, featureless surface floating in the void.
      "Isn't this an interesting situation? Two deities who escaped death facing each other again." Felix remarked casually as he eyed the distressed Lucifer.
      Lucifer heard him but didn't really register what he said. He was still processing this sudden frightening development.
      'Was I baited to make an appearance? Why? He can't have known about my revival beforehand? Who told him? Do I escape and plan for another opportunity?'
      Many questions roamed Lucifer's mind. Nothing made sense to him as he knew that Felix should have never known about his revival unless the darkins told him.
      It was unimaginable for those two to help out Felix with anything.
      "No need to overwork your little brain." Felix mentioned, "I brought you here to give you a chance of ascension and fulfill your destiny."
      "..." Lucifer eyed Felix coldly for a few moments before finally breaking his silence, "Are you taking me for a joke?"
      "Always have been, but trust me, not this time." Felix smiled sincerely, "I want you to attempt to possess my body and ascend, and if you succeed, you will have a clear path to godhood as you have envisioned."
      Felix had absolutely no clue how the ascension process worked and if it was the same as shown in Lucifer's illusion, then he wanted him to kickstart the process again.
      Only this time, their souls would clash for real.
      "I don't know if you have hit your head, but there is no way I am trusting a single word coming out of your lips." Lucifer sneered, "I am content with knowing you are alive for now. We will meet again in the future."
      Lucifer prepared to take his leave, having no contemplated of staying here for another second. He was in a different space and without any preparation, making him on the weaker side.
      Now, with an actual confirmation, he could ally with the darkins again and use them to ease the battle if just by a little.
      Unfortunately, after he closed his eyes and opened them again, he found himself still in the same position.
      "Hmm?"
      He knitted his eyebrows in disgruntlement and attempted again to manifest his consciousness in a different evil energy cloud...Alas, he kept opening and closing his eyes until he seemed like he was blinking, but still no results.
      "What did you...Am I in an illusion?"
      Lucifer dropped the tough act immediately and began looking around him with a distressed look.
      His first assumption was an illusion, but he recalled that his mother told him that he was significantly resistant to them after she used a piece of her consciousness to revive him.
      "You wish it was an illusion." Felix smiled as he approached him calmly.
      "Stay away!"
      Lucifer jumped backward and launched two condensed spears of crimson evil energy! As they approached Felix, he didn't bother to use an ability to block them.
      He merely kept walking forward and the spears' trajectory was altered against their will, flying past him like he was protected by an invisible untouchable aura!
      "You..."
      When Lucifer sensed the 'aura', his blood turned cold and his gray face turned as white as a piece of paper.
      As Felix got closer to him, the aura became more overpowering and overpowering until it completely encompassed Lucifer.
      Thud!
      His knees and arms slammed against the ground, leaving him in a dog posture, trying his best to resist the overbearing spiritual pressure!
      'It can't be...It can't be...This must be an illusion...Must be!'
      Lucifer refused to believe the reality before him no matter what. Who could blame him?
      Felix was overpowering him with nothing but spiritual pressure, which shouldn't have been possible when deities' spiritual pressure was considered the peak in the universe!
      "I know what you are thinking."
      Felix stopped in front of him and sat on the ground. He rested a hand above his knee, taking a comfortable position while Lucifer was fighting for his life to even raise his head.
      "You must be thinking that it's impossible for me to possess a higher grade of spiritual pressure than deities and this is purely an illusion."
      Felix chuckled as he waved his index finger up, causing Lucifer's head to lift up immediately.
      He was sweating all over and his facial structure seemed to be under a million tons of gravity force.
      "Unfortunately for you, this is as real as it could get." Felix smiled, "This small dimension is on total spiritual lockdown, making it impossible for any soul or a wisp to enter or leave."
      "So, are you going to give yourself a chance and ascend through me, or should I erase your existence again?"
      While Felix was finishing the last part of the sentence, a small orb of pitch-black void domain manifested above his palm and hovered there, menacingly.
