Chapter 1546: Welcome To Your Personal Hell. V

1546 Welcome To Your Personal Hell. V

Saurous and Wendigo could already sense dread creeping up on them at the thought of being held down inside an illusion domain.

They had never experienced it before, but they understood that if even their unkillable brother was finished off through it, their lives weren't going to be any better.

'Stay tough, if it's just pain, then we can eat whatever is thrown at us.' Wendigo stated coldly.

'We have been through so much to end up crumbling here.' Saurous sneered as he stared directly into Felix's eyes, 'Don't worry, I won't give him the satisfaction of breaking me.'

Unlike Manananggal, Saurous and Wendigo didn't have any love for anyone in their lives, which meant the most excruciating pain in their eyes would be physically related.

They were molded by pain for billions of years to end up getting scared off by some measly torture.

Even if it lasted for millions or billions of years, they were more than ready for it!

"Such cute defiant looks. I hope you can maintain them. It won't be fun otherwise."

Felix chuckled while freeing them from his spiritual pressure, not needing it anymore to keep them tightened up.

The instant those two felt his spiritual pressure was uplifted, they used their strongest escape abilities!

Wendigo tried to transfer into a different place where darkness existed while Saurous attempted to release his black hole and consume all matter!

Alas...

"I can't use my manipulation..."

"Sigh..."

Their abilities were locked up and it really didn't come as much of a surprise, knowing that Felix wouldn't be foolish enough to release them without having countermeasures.

"The sooner you accept your fate, the easier it will be for all of us," Felix said while snapping his finger, creating two standard chairs and forcing them to sit on them.

They tried to resist his control and stand up, but just like they were pushed by the hand of a god, their butts refused to move.

In the end, they could only give Felix the most deathly glare possible without wasting their time in escape anymore.n-/In

"That's more like it. Now, let's have some fun."

With a sinister chuckle, Felix setoff the entire chamber in inky black celestial flames that flickered with otherworldly intensity.

The flames danced around Saurous and Wendigo without touching them, coming so close to their skin, yet not making contact.

"What's this?" Saurous asked with a deep frown.

He didn't sense any sort of heat from the flames, which made him confused about its origin.

"This will be your companion for the next eons to come." Felix sighed in disappointment, "Your partner was in luck, landing in my hands when I didn't have my celestial flames."

"Albeit his torture could be said to have broken him mentally, this would have been checked the physical box too."

Hearing speak like this made the darkins' hearts skip a beat a little. They had never seen such dark flames before and with Felix's hyping it up like this, it left too much room for imagination.

"Tsk, what does it do? Burn our bodies and souls?" Wendigo mocked, "Kid, you think too lowly of primogenitors if you thought we haven't trained our souls' pain tolerance."

"Give it your best, let's see if you can harm us more than that cruel bitch Kumiho." Saurous laughed it off, wanting to get into Felix's nerves.

It was obvious that the darkins seemed to have some confrontation with Kumiho during the primogenitors' era, where conflicts were raging wild amongst them.

As the charm primogenitor, her mental attacks and soul-targeting abilities made her a terrifying opponent and forced most of the primogenitors to consider strengthening their soul pain tolerance.

Unfortunately for them, the celestial black flames were nowhere near Kumiho's level...

Instead of their words getting into him, Felix merely grinned widely before disappearing into the inky flames.

The instant his presence was nowhere to be found, the black flames flooded the darkins like a pack of wolves punching on a helpless wounded pray.

The darkins closed their eyes and steadied their hearts for the pain.

Alas, the moment the flames touched their skin, their eyes were snapped wide open, showing blood veins spreading in their whites akin to snakes!

Wendigo and Saurous struggled to break free, their faces contorted in utter agony and desperation.

The flames clung to them like an unbreakable curse, searing their souls with a dark and consuming fire. Each attempt to escape only seemed to intensify their torment!

In less than a couple of seconds, both of them weren't able to hold their voices any longer and two heartwrenching groans were shouted out!

ARRRRGH!! UGHHH!!!...

"WHAT IS THIS!!"

"HOW CAN IT HURT THIS BADLY!!"

Following the groans, the darkins screamed out, seeking answers, but no one was there to respond.

Felix watched them with a cold, unforgiving gaze, his lips curled into a devilish smile. Not an ounce of mercy was seen in his eyes.

He was finally concluding his revenge against his fallen home, family, friends, and loved ones. He might not be free from the shackles of guilt and misery that traumatizing experience brought him, but he was feeling a bit better.

"Who would have thought that the darkins' faction ending would be at the hands of a human." Elder Kraken shook his head with a wry smile.

He knew that if he told anyone about this during the primogenitors era, they would have laughed at his face.

Yet, here they were, burning and screaming at the top of their lung, but nothing was there to ease their agony...Not even the Grim Reaper could save them.

No one was giving them a single look of sympathy...Even the kind Elder Kraken wasn't too bothered with their celestial torture.

The ancestors never considered each other as one race or one big family. In their eyes, anyone who stepped out of line and got his assed handed to him deserves it.

In this case, the darkins didn't just make Felix's life hell ever since he joined the champions' games, they ended his family and made their future plans clear of seeking to target his remaining friends.

They had no shame in the way they fought and they deserve this kind of ending.

"The darkins faction is done for, but those two are still far from serving their purpose." Thor snickered.

"Of course." Felix smiled coldly, "I will make sure to break them before turning them into demonized slaves."

Felix manipulated the time in the illusion domain, making the darkins feel one day to be one millennium.

He could have gone much harder on the time difference, but he simply wanted to break them, not utterly shatter them.

He still wanted to demonize and make them his loyal slaves, and he didn't want retarded versions of themselves.

He was planning to enter the eternal kingdom, so having primogenitors as his backup wasn't too much of a bad idea.

So, Felix scheduled the black flames to turn on and off randomly throughout their punishment period, to give them somewhat of a 'breather'.

But in reality? This made the punishment even worse!

What's more f*cked up than giving a tortured prisoner some rest and leaving him to his mind, knowing that any moment of the day, another round of punishment would begin...

Felix didn't give a sh*t about this heavy mental toll on their minds and began the demonization procedure by absorbing their purities.

He extended both of his hands in front of their ugly twisted faces and started pushing his corruption mist into them.

The darkins neither saw Felix nor felt the depravity mist invading their bodies. Felix made it like this to not get bothered during the process.

"Even while weakened, in pain, and have no clue about it, their bodies are resisting off the depravity reflexively." Felix raised an eyebrow after noticing that his corruption mist was battling to absorb their purities.

    1552 The Endless Possibilities of Crossbreeding!
    "Since your knowledge about natural treasures and materials is already great, we will start with crossbreeding." Lady Sphinx informed.
    Usually, one would need to learn about plants and such before going into complex details, but Felix's knowledge was already at its peak.
    He had studied and memorized all books handed to him by Lady Sphinx to assist with his potion-making..
    Of course, those books were merely concentrated on natural treasures and their details, like grade, history, evolutionary tree, etc.
    So, he was still quite ignorant about crossbreeding and other fields of botany.
    Without wasting time, she began her explanation, by selecting two particularly unique plants for their lesson.
    "Now, let's use these two remarkable plants."
    Lady Sphinx gestured to a tall, slender flower with glossy, silver petals, which she called the Lunar Silkflower, and a low-lying bush with fiery red blossoms, known as the Phoenix Firebloom.
    "These two are both B-graded natural treasures in their own right," she explained. "But imagine if we could combine their qualities into a single plant."
    "How is that possible?" Felix's interest was piqued.
    He was always fascinated by the biology of natural treasures with all the readings he had done on them.
    Obiviously, he was referring mostly to plant-based natural treasures.
    In this universe, anything could become a natural treasure as long as it held within it a decent amount of elemental energy.
    For example, if a strong creature died and his corpse wasn't decomposed, standing strong against the power of time, it would start to absorb elemental energy slowly corresponding to the corpse's highest elemental affinity.
    After centuries, millennials, or even millions of years, what remained of the corpse would be considered a natural treasure.
    Its grade would be decided by the amount of elemental energy it held within it and its unique effects.
    However, since those treasures were related to previous existing creatures of the past, Felix wasn't planning to focus on them in his studies.
    After all, there was no way to figure out the SSS+ flesh-based natural treasures' location with his current method.
    "Crossbreeding is the process of mating two different plants with desirable traits to create a new hybrid species. In this case, we aim to merge the Lunar Silkflower's hardiness and its ability to thrive in tough conditions with the Phoenix Firebloom's fire-resistant capabilities."
    Lady Sphinx carefully plucked a blossom from the Phoenix Firebloom and gathered some of its pollen on a brush.
    Moving to the Lunar Silkflower, she brushed the pollen onto the silver petals while explaining, "By pollinating the Lunar Silkflower with the Phoenix Firebloom's pollen, we encourage the Lunar Silkflower to inherit some of the Firebloom's traits."
    "Since those two plants shared a similar environment, their compatibility is decent and it will help with the birth of new plants with the desired traits."
    "What if they weren't compatible?" Felix inquired.
    "If two plants weren't compatible at all, it doesn't mean that crossbreeding them will end up in failure, it just means that the failure percentage will be in the higher ends." Lady Sphinx shared, "However if a miracle occurred and against all odds, the crossbreeding succeeded, the new plant would be stronger than both plants combined."
    "That's because it will inherit the strengths of its parent plants and since their environments were different, it will allow the new plant to survive tougher situations."
    "In other words, the new plant will be given more time to evolve, and enhance its genetic pool, which will increase its grade slowly over time," Felix commented with a look of intrigue.
    "Exactly, time and environmental hazards are the primary killers of natural treasures. However, if they survive and evolve, it's almost a guarantee to turn into a high-graded treasure." Lady Sphinx nodded.
    "No wonder it's impossible to cultivate S-graded and above natural treasures even if the right environment was given."
    Felix knew that there were many botanists in the alliance working on cultivating natural treasures either for research purposes or for sale...None of them had yet to cultivate an S-graded natural treasure in the real world.
    That's because for their evolution to happen, they require specific extremely harsh conditions plus a very, very long period.
    No one would want to invest trillions of coins in such a project when even the end rewards might not come after thousands of years of struggle.
    So, almost all botanists focus on cultivating A-graded natural treasures and below...Even those natural treasures weren't easy to get.
    "Time is the biggest wall any botanist faces. Even I have managed to cultivate only four SS natural treasures, and one SSS natural treasure after countless trials and errors." Lady Sphinx shared.
    "That's already too impressive." Felix raised an eyebrow in surprise.
    Lady Sphinx didn't have any time manipulation abilities, so she had to wait for god knows how many years for each natural treasure to reach its peak evolution.
    Such godly patience and resolve only true researchers possessed!
    "With illusion domain, it will be a million times easier to run controlled simulations...For example," Lady Sphinx requested while pointing at the silkflower, "Speed up the time by a hundred and increase the richness of fire elemental energy around it."
    Felix did as he was told and created a small invisible bubble around the flower filled with fire elemental energy...Then, he sped the time specifically inside the bubble.
    With the time sped up by a hundred, Felix and the rest were able to watch with anticipation as the seeds began to sprout and grow at an astonishing rate.
    Within moments, the slender shoots burst forth from the earth, their petals a rich, silvery green.
    As they stretched toward the sky, the buds at their tips started to unfurl, revealing a new breed of flowers.
    They bore the same fiery hue as the Phoenix Firebloom's blossoms but retained the unique shimmer of the Lunar Silkflower's petals!
    Felix couldn't help but smile as he witnessed the birth of this extraordinary creation.
    "Lunar Firebloom, high-quality B-graded natural treasure. If consumed raw, it gives the user a decent 1% to 3% fire affinity rating with a few stomach-related side effects. But the majority of people use it as the main ingredient to concoct rank three FireShell Potion." He shared, "It gives the user a temporary seven days peak resistance to fire, making it high in demand for anyone desiring to explore hot areas."
    Lady Sphinx nodded. "It's a crossbreed that incorporates the best of both parent plants. It possesses the Lunar Silkflower's resilience and adaptability, while the fiery blossoms enhanced its absorption of fire elemental energy and heat resistance."
    "Even though the grade remained the same, the treasure's quality and effects make it extremely desirable compared to its parents." Felix smiled, "Crossbreeding is truly a universe with endless possibilities."
    "I have been giving books related to natural treasures and their details." Lady Sphinx manifested a mountain of books next to Felix and said, "Those are specific for crossbreeding, batonic genetics understanding, biochemistry, and more. Use your clones to read them and when you are done, we can start straightaway with crossbreeding some new variations."
    "I understand," Felix replied while staring at the mountain of books. If they were organized into a library, it would fill up at least a hundred shelves!
    Felix knew that even with his clones' assistance and wisdom eye, it would take him a week or less to integrate and condense such a heavy load of information in his brain.
    Lady Sphinx wasn't going to let the week go to waste.
    "For now, let's return to potion-making." Lady Sphinx said, "It's time you mastered some rank-six potions."
    "I am more than ready," Felix replied with a hint of excitement as he had been waiting for this day for a long time now.
    Who could blame him? Potions capable of affecting primogenitors were similar in rank to high-quality divine equipment!
    In other words, Felix could use them in his battles!
    "Let's start with God's Pillar Potion." Lady Sphinx uttered with a faint smile.
