1558 Losing His Empathy...

"Are they??" Selphie was startled after figuring out the darkins' identity.

Even Lady Yggdrasil inside her consciousness was left stunned, not expecting in the slightest to see her peers become enslaved.

'I have to learn about this.'

Without an ounce of hesitation, she reached out to her close friend Lady Sphinx, asking for details.

Meanwhile, Noah's and Olivia's eyes were fixed on the darkins...While Noah's hatred and anger were fully planted on his face, Olivia seemed frozen in place like she saw a ghost.

She also lost her parents and relatives, whom she was pretty close to, unlike Felix or Noah. So, Earth's destruction caused her a great amount of pain and it took her great effort to close that chapter in her life.

Thud!

With tears threatening to come out, Olivia stood up and ran away while covering her face.

"Little Oli..." Felix muttered, a bit taken aback by her reaction.

"I will take care of it." Selphie gave Felix a slightly disappointed look and chased after Olivia.

Only now did Felix realize that what he did was pretty insensitive on so many levels.

All he was thinking about was making Noah and Olivia inflict violence and torture on their loved ones' killers as well their loved ones' killers.n)()-)/-//-/(1//n

But, not everyone was cruel and bloodthirsty like him.

Olivia might have been mad and full of hatred towards the darkins, but she didn't let such negative emotions consume her.

Instead, she received all the help and care from Lady Yggdrasil and Selphie to move on peacefully and not let her purity get corrupted.

Not everyone was obsessed with revenge and what Felix just did to Olivia was simply unforgivable, putting her loved ones' killers in front of her after she finally healed, causing her previous traumas to emerge again.

"How did I become this insensitive..." Felix murmured while glancing at his demonic hand, feeling less and less of a human each day.

The fact that he thought even Olivia would be somewhat happy with this 'present' made him feel sick in his stomach.

He knew that he would have never made such a mistake before devouring Lucifer.

He would have waited until he was alone with Olivia and explained the situation to her instead of throwing the darkins in her face.

'I am becoming instinctually more evil without noticing it...This isn't good.' Felix said coldly.

On the other hand...

"I can do whatever I want with them?" Noah asked with a suppressed rough voice like he was holding himself from yelling.

Noah was more like Felix in this department and he loved the gift more than anything.

"Go ahead." Felix waved his hand and teleported him and the darkins inside an illusion domain, somewhere else in the spaceship.

He froze the darkins in their place while weakening their spiritual pressure with his own, so they wouldn't kill Noah reflexively.

Then, he manipulated the time to reflect from one hour to one year, giving Noah a whole year with the darkins to release his hatred.

"Be right back."

Then, he took off towards Olivia's room, wanting to make amends for his mistake.

This left only Bodidi sitting on the table...He looked right and left, and then lowered his head at the packed table full of all kinds of food.

A faint grin appeared on his face as he muttered, "Hehe, I guess more food for me."

...

"Little Oli, may I come in?" Felix asked softly after knocking on Olivia's door.

A few moments later, Selphie opened the door and came out. Then, she closed it behind her and said with a stern tone, "Come with me, she doesn't want to see anyone."

Felix peered through the door and saw Olivia curled up into a ball on her bed, crying her eyes out.

He felt terrible when he discovered that he couldn't empathize with her...The sight of her crying didn't move a single string in his heart like he was looking at someone giggling or such.

"Why did you do that?" Selphie scolded with a frustrated expression.

"I am sorry, I wasn't thinking straight." Felix sighed, "I will fix it."

"I expect you to." Selphie looked straight into Felix's eyes with concern and said, "I don't know what happened, but you have changed, and not in a good way."

"I know..." Felix smiled bitterly, understanding that such scenarios were going to be happening more and more.

However, he didn't regret any of this one bit...For Asna's sake, he didn't mind even if he lost all of his emotions and became alone.

After a few words traded back and forth between them, Selphie returned to the hall and Felix remained seated behind Olivia's door, still wanting to make amends.

Even when he lacked empathy, and goodness in his heart, and knew that he would be losing other positive emotions one by one, Felix didn't want to give up on being a good human.

Until the day when everything gets stripped of him, he would keep fighting for his humanity...

...

After half an hour, Olivia finally opened the door and before Felix could say anything, she gave him a deep hug and apologized, "I am sorry for being like this. I know you were thinking about us."

This was how Olivia was kind and pure...Even when she was the one hurt the most, she still apologized first.

"Don't be, I was careless and made you revisit some bad memories and emotions." Felix smiled gently as he patted her back, "I will try my best to not do it again."

He couldn't even promise to be good to her, knowing that there would come a day when he could break it.

"Umm.." Olivia didn't care about how he phrased it.

She nodded silently and presented a big cute smile on her face again, seemingly forgetting about the darkin's existence.

But the eyes could not lie and Felix was able to see the hurt in them.

"Oli, the darkins are now my slaves and they have been punished for their crimes. They will be by my side always and if it's going to be a problem for you, I think it's best that I return you home." Felix shared calmly.

He cared about Olivia enough to let her know right now and here, that the darkins weren't going anywhere.

So, she could either face her trauma for real and be by his side or he could return her home...It depends on her.

"Don't worry about me, I have it under control." Olivia assured him.

"Alright." Felix nodded in acceptance.

Whether she was really okay with it or not, he would find out in the future...For now, there was no need to make a big problem out of this more than it is.

"Let's go eat."

Alas...After everyone returned, the sight that greeted them wasn't appetizing in the slightest.

Bodidi lying on the ground with a massive stomach and food stains on his face, burping once in a while.

As for the food on the table? Nothing was left on it but empty plates and a few bones here and there.

He cleared the entire table in a world-record time...

Burp!

    1563 Working as a Unit, as a Hive, as One Mind.

    Felix spent countless hours scouring through the finest details in his experiments, not skipping a single thing..

    With his wisdom eye in play and peak concentration, Felix finally spotted the missing link.

    'Is this?'

    It was a small detail, almost inconspicuous amidst the wealth of information he had gathered.

    In one of his experiments, he moved a pair of parent plants to a different location within his garden. These plants had been subjected to increased x10 sunlight during the afternoon hours.

    As Felix reviewed his observations, he noticed that the plants exposed to the afternoon sunlight had exhibited a subtle change in their physiology. Their leaves had tilted slightly towards the sun, and their flowers had opened wider during those hours.

    "This is it!"

    Felix realized that the angle and intensity of sunlight played a crucial role in the pollination process of these particular plants.

    It wasn't just about the standard factors like soil, environment, or weather; it was the specific alignment of the sun during pollination that triggered seed production!

    With newfound excitement, Felix set to work immediately.

    He carefully marked the exact position of the sun during the successful pollinations, using a sundial and meticulously noting the angles. He also began to track the changing position of the sun throughout the day, paying close attention to the afternoon hours when his breakthrough had occurred.

    As he conducted a series of focused experiments, controlling the angle and duration of sunlight exposure, Felix watched in anticipation. And then, it happened.

    The two parent plants produced a seed—a single, small, but promising seed!

    "Haha, I did it!" Felix laughed excitedly while eyeing the seed on his palm.

    It was the result of his dedication, patience, and the tiny but crucial detail he had uncovered.

    "Now, you can start the crossbreeding." Lady Sphinx remarked with a faint smile.

    Felix rubbed his hair with a foolish look, knowing that he was getting excited over merely succeeding in the simplest step.

    The journey was far from over and it would only get harder.'

    Without wasting time, Felix manifested multiple seeds in the same manner until he had a couple of thousands.

    Then, he started planting them in isolated see-through glass gardens. Each small garden had a different soil, different time acceleration, different shade of light, different watering systems, elemental energy levels, and the list goes on and on and on.

    There were like a thousand experiments running simultaneously and Felix understood that even with such massive quantity, it wasn't guaranteed to find the proper growth conditions for the seed.

    "This is the true burial ground of botanists. While your illusionary garden made everything a hundred times easier, you have to be focused and pay attention to the smallest details for each experiment." Lady Sphinx advised, "If you missed even a single detail, it might be the key to whether the plant will become an SSS or not."

    "I understand, I am planning on putting multiple clones on watch duty." Felix nodded with a serious expression.

    "Good, finish what I have started."

    Lady Sphinx had never succeded in crossbreeding an SSS+ natural treasure and it was all because she didn't have Felix's cheat codes.

    Even with the UVR's assistance, she was still forced to wait patiently for centuries, millennia, and sometimes even hundreds of thousands of years before the plant failed due to some tiny issue.

    This would force her to restart the entire experiment from the top.

    Now, Felix had the chance to surpass Lady Sphinx in her field and he had no plans to disappoint her.

    Day after day, Felix observed the plants closely, waiting for that elusive moment when the seed would sprout into a bud.

    But as the days turned into weeks, it became painfully clear that the majority of his experiments were failing.

    The seeds simply refused to germinate, despite the meticulous attention he had given to every detail.

    Felix's frustration grew, and he found himself constantly adjusting conditions and restarting experiments in search of that magical combination.

    However, persistence was one of Felix's defining traits.

    On one particular attempt, after countless failures, three buds finally emerged!

    Each one was distinct, not only in appearance but also in the subtle energies they exuded.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm
    One was vibrant green, another had a fiery red hue, and the third had a calm and serene blue aura.

    "Three variations?! Let's go, this seems more promising now."

    Excitement coursed through Felix as he carefully collected these three unique buds.

    He understood that each bud represented a different path of evolution for the plant. While all three of them could fail eventually, it also meant that he could get three different types of SSS natural treasures at the end!

    "There might be other variations, I shouldn't give up on the rest of the seeds."

    Felix knew that while progress had been made, there were still countless possibilities to explore.

    Each seed held the potential for something remarkable, and he was committed to unlocking their hidden potential, one experiment at a time.

    So, he made some changes to their growth conditions and moved his focus to the three buds.

    He moved his hand once and created another garden with hundreds of seeds provided with the same conditions as the three budding seeds.

    This helped him branch out more on his experiments again, putting each budding seed in a different environment and setting.

    "If only Asna could see this." Jörmungandr smiled gently as he watched hundreds of versions of Felix, working as a unit, as a hive, as one mind, for the sake of creating a single SSS natural treasure.

    This wasn't all as there were many other clones on duty focusing on SS natural treasures, running experiments on them to invoke their evolution into SSS natural treasures without needing crossbreeding.

    Obiviously, he had to be a great geneticist to run such experiments since they require genetic modifications.

    Fortunately, he left a clone to study genetic-related books left to him by his master in the past weeks and he also received some guidance.

    So, he was running three types of fields in alchemy simultaneously, which in turn was more than enough to name him as an alchemist like his master!

    All of this insane hard work was to create a mere single recipe, a single recipe, which wasn't even guaranteed to work.

    Yet, Felix never allowed such thoughts to ruin his resolve.

    As the days turned into weeks and the weeks into months, and before long, a whole five years passed in the dimensional pocket. Yet, Felix's determination remained unwavering.

    He had meticulously run close to one million experiments. From this unimaginable number of experiments,a small plant had finally yielded the result he had longed for.

    Its slender stem stood proudly, bearing a single, exquisite flower with cubic petals that seemed to contain stars within their crystalline facets.

    Each petal glimmered with a soft, ethereal light, casting a gentle, otherworldly glow in the room.

    Surrounding the plant, a dense aura of gravity-related elemental energy pulsed with newfound life.

    The atmosphere seemed to ripple with the power of this remarkable creation as if the very laws of nature had altered to accommodate its existence.

    "I created this..."

    Felix stood before the flower, his eyes filled with awe and appreciation.

    He marveled at the beauty and uniqueness of this botanical wonder he had nurtured through countless trials and experiments.

    As he gazed upon the cubic petals with stars twinkling within, Felix knew that he had achieved something truly extraordinary...He had surpassed Lady Sphinx in her field, reaching a height, she never came close to.

    He knew that this was still not considered a fully grown SSS natural treasure since he had yet to even deal with the dark reaction and the challenges that come from its growth to ripeness.

    Still, he felt a profound sense of accomplishment and fulfillment wash over him, knowing that his endeavors had borne fruit and passed the most difficult obstacle in crossbreeding.

    "What are you going to title it?" Lady Sphinx asked with a faint pleased smile.

    Felix gazed at the flower, his eyes filled with wonder and admiration, and then, with a soft, poetic murmur, he spoke a sentence that resonated with the essence of his woman:

    "Asnaleigha's Rose, your radiance in bloom, a starlit dream in every petal's twinkle..."

    With those words, he named the exceptional plant that had defied the odds and blossomed into a symbol of his enduring love and dedication, the Asnaleigha's Rose...

    In response to his name, Asnaleigha Rose's stars twinkled brilliantly for a moment before becoming dim, seemingly, accepting the title with grace.

      1564 Finding Inspiration.

      "I am sure she would have loved it if she was here," Thor remarked..

      "Mmm."

      Felix's lips broke into a faint loving smile while envisioning Asna in the rose petals. Even when his emotions were being slowly corrupted by evil energy, his love for Asna wasn't touched in the slightest.

      "The dark reaction usually manifests in the first years after the plant closes to ripeness." Felix soon refocused on his mission, "With time acceleration, I believe it will happen about...now."

      The instant Felix uttered the last word, asudden darkness seemed to cloud the air around the exquisite flower. The cubic petals, once adorned with stars, began to wither and warp as a sinister force attacked its DNA.

      The dark reaction was at play, breaking apart the delicate genetic structure of the flower and threatening to consume its essence!

      "Not in my watch."

      With quick reflexes, Felix canceled the time acceleration and dove into the plant's DNA universe with his quantum vision.

      Then, he extended his spiritual pressure like a protective shield around the affected DNA pieces, using his overbearing spiritual prowess to erase the fused dark substance. When he was done, the DNA strings were left broken apart like two pieces of a twig.

      Felix was already told that reconstructing the DNA was just as important as getting rid of the dark substance.

      So, hechanneled his sacred water healing ability and used tiny droplets of healing water around broken DNA string, gently caressing its strands and accelerating their reconstruction.

      The petals began to regain their cubic shape, and the stars within them slowly twinkled back to life.

      It may not seem like it, but it was a tense and difficult battle as the dark substance targeted millions of DNA strings, forcing Felix to keep on his toes the entire time.

      Fortunately, unlike the dark reaction in the potion concoction, the dark substance merely fused with the DNA and spread slowly, allowing Felix to get rid of them before they do more damage.

      'Will they ever stop appearing?' Candace said with a bothered tone at the sight of the dark substance multiplying nonstop.

      'No.' Lady Sphinx anwsered, 'They will keep attacking the flower until it becomes ripe. This usually takes decades to centuries or even much longer, depending on the plant's type.'

      'Damn, this is the same as being held hostage.' Candace cursed.

      She realized that Felix would need to put a decent clone with a significant amount of mental energy on watch duty or even multiple ones and put them on rotation if he wanted to keep an eye on the dark substance's invasion without affecting his lifestyle.

      This was exactly what Felix planned to do after he got decent training on dealing with the dark substance, so his clones wouldn't fail him.

      Obiviously, it wouldn't matter much if his clones failed since this was still happening in the UVR and he wouldn't be getting anything from this but the experience for the real deal.

      After spending a couple of days wrestling against the dark reaction, Felix finally passed the baton to his clones and let them have at it.

      "No wonder you still want to find a better method to completely get rid of the dark reaction." Felix expressed in irritation to his master, "That was the most bothersome experience I had, I can't imagine doing this for years, don't even mention decades or more."

      "You will get used to it." Lady Sphinx chuckled a little.

      "I doubt it." Felix cracked his neck as he teleported outside of the garden at last, wanting to take a break from botany and focus on other matters.

      Dealing with the dark reaction of the potion concoction was his priority at the moment.

      After five years his clone had unfortunately failed to have a decent understanding of the dark reaction to mark it or create a soul-based poison to get rid of it.

      This was the reason he was forced to rely on his mental energy as his main weapon.

      "Is my master's method the only one available?"

      Felix sat with his thoughts and a deep frown, feeling like he could do better than that with his current arsenal of abilities and powers.

      "Your clone has focused mostly on understanding the dark reaction and failed. It's best to make him spend time learning Sphinx's method while you focus on coming up with a different method if possible." Thor advised, "This way, you will always have a backup plan."

      "That's a good plan." Felix nodded in appreciation and acted on the suggestion immediately.

      While Lady Sphinx was teaching his clone how to create microscopic armies and control them like her, he was wrecking his brain for a different idea.

      Unfortunately, he wasn't so lucky this time and he came out empty after spending more than a couple hours.

      "Sigh, I need some fresh air." Felix decided to drop the matter for now and switch his focus back to his main body in the dimensional pocket, hoping for some inspiration.

      He walked out of the camp, not wanting to bother his friends, who were training inside their personal illusion domain's training zones.
      For the past five years, they had been training every night in illusion domains with time being accelerated moderately. He also bestowed upon them copies of natural treasures and even copies of new potions he created from them.

      With the wisdom eye added to the mix, most of them had gone through some positive changes.I think you should take a look at ραΠdαsnovel.cοm

      Felix also learned the new time spells created by Selphie in his free time and other spatial spells, wanting to reach a level, where he could master omnipotent spells.

      He wasn't just preparing his strength against Nimo's alter ego, but also his elemental prowess.

      After walking for a while, Felix jumped on a tree and sat on a branch...He gazed into the sunrise peacefully, emptying his mind from his experiments, research, and stressful work.

      As Felix observed the intricate dance of nature unfolding before him, a sense of peace and relief washed over him.

      'I really needed this.' He let out a long exhale as he leaned against the tree trunk and closed his eyes shut, wanting to take a quick nap.

      Chirp Chirp!

      However, he was forced to open his eyes after hearing bird noise coming from a nearby tree. He glanced at it and almost instantly, he spotted the small noisy black bird through the myrmid of leaves and branches.

      High above, a majestic, golden falcon soared through the cerulean sky, its keen eyes locked onto the unsuspecting prey below.

      The falcon's killing intent while soft, Felix picked on it and made him lift his head and glance at it.

      'The circle of life, the predator and the prey, each playing their roles in the delicate balance of nature.' Felix murmured in his mind for a moment before his eyes swiftly focused on another observer nearby.

      Coiled amidst the foliage, a camouflaged snake lay in wait, its body perfectly still, its eyes fixated on the small bird and the eggs in its nest.

      It was clear that the snake was biding its time, waiting for the opportune moment to strike and claim both the bird and eggs, having no clue that another predator was gunning for its prey.

      'Who is going to get it?'

      Felix watched the showdown in intrigue, captured by this little life-and-death drama happening before him.

      'Here it comes.'

      Suddenly, the falcon changed its trajectory and dove head first into the tree, slicing apart branches and leaves with its razor-sharp feathers.

      Both the small bird and the snake sensed the immediate danger, knowing that they were both prey to the falcon.

      Still, the snake seemed like it had no plans to stay in safety and let the falcon steal its prey. It lunged at the nest, wanting to bite one egg before bailing out.

      'Greedy, but will it w...Huh?'

      Before Felix could finish the rest of his sentence, he was left stunned by what happened next.

      The small bird neither waited for the snake nor the falcon to reach its danger zone.

      It unveiled its dark wings around its nest and then disappeared into the shadow of the tree, leaving both predators lunging at each other!

      The falcon immediately switched its target to the snake and dug its claws into its flesh before carrying it into the sky.

      Just as it was above to leave Felix's vision, the snake exploded into poisonous acidic mist, causing the falcon's flesh and feathers to melt off and die with it...

      'The hell is this place?'

      Felix was left utterly speechless at the sight of the same little bird emerging for the same shadow with its nest, appearing like nothing happened.

      'Haha...wait a second...'

      Just as he was about to chuckle at his failed prediction, he couldn't help but draw a parallel to his struggles with the dark reaction to this exact scenario.

      He had been waiting, like the snake or the falcon, for the perfect moment to intervene and protect the concoction from the explosive attack of the dark reaction.

      However, as he observed the events before him, a realization dawned on Felix.

      'Why am I waiting for the dark reaction to invade? I have a whole minute to save mixture before the invasion could even take place.' Felix's eyes widened the more he thought about this notion, 'It's impossible in accomplishing this in rank five and below potions, but for some reason, the dark reaction takes a long time to manifest in rank six potions. This is the key to my success!'

      "What are you talking about?" Thor raised an eyebrow in surprise, "I believe Lady Sphinx must have already tried to do the same."

      "I did try it, but I didn't have the tools to pull it off." Lady Sphinx smiled faintly, "On the other hand, you boy has the best tool to make it work."

      "Master, you really think it will work?!" Felix exclaimed in excitement after realizing that his mentor had deciphered his new idea from the little details.

      "There is only one way to find it." Lady Sphinx said calmly, "Return to the lab."

      1564 Finding Inspiration.

      "I am sure she would have loved it if she was here," Thor remarked..

      "Mmm."

      Felix's lips broke into a faint loving smile while envisioning Asna in the rose petals. Even when his emotions were being slowly corrupted by evil energy, his love for Asna wasn't touched in the slightest.

      After walking for a while, Felix jumped on a tree and sat on a branch...He gazed into the sunrise peacefully, emptying his mind from his experiments, research, and stressful work.

      As Felix observed the intricate dance of nature unfolding before him, a sense of peace and relief washed over him.

      'I really needed this.' He let out a long exhale as he leaned against the tree trunk and closed his eyes shut, wanting to take a quick nap.

      Chirp Chirp!

      However, he was forced to open his eyes after hearing bird noise coming from a nearby tree. He glanced at it and almost instantly, he spotted the small noisy black bird through the myrmid of leaves and branches.

      High above, a majestic, golden falcon soared through the cerulean sky, its keen eyes locked onto the unsuspecting prey below.

      The falcon's killing intent while soft, Felix picked on it and made him lift his head and glance at it.

      'The circle of life, the predator and the prey, each playing their roles in the delicate balance of nature.' Felix murmured in his mind for a moment before his eyes swiftly focused on another observer nearby.

      Coiled amidst the foliage, a camouflaged snake lay in wait, its body perfectly still, its eyes fixated on the small bird and the eggs in its nest.

      It was clear that the snake was biding its time, waiting for the opportune moment to strike and claim both the bird and eggs, having no clue that another predator was gunning for its prey.

      'Who is going to get it?'

      Felix watched the showdown in intrigue, captured by this little life-and-death drama happening before him.

      'Here it comes.'

      Suddenly, the falcon changed its trajectory and dove head first into the tree, slicing apart branches and leaves with its razor-sharp feathers.

      Both the small bird and the snake sensed the immediate danger, knowing that they were both prey to the falcon.

      Still, the snake seemed like it had no plans to stay in safety and let the falcon steal its prey. It lunged at the nest, wanting to bite one egg before bailing out.

      'Greedy, but will it w...Huh?'

      Before Felix could finish the rest of his sentence, he was left stunned by what happened next.

      The small bird neither waited for the snake nor the falcon to reach its danger zone.

      It unveiled its dark wings around its nest and then disappeared into the shadow of the tree, leaving both predators lunging at each other!

      The falcon immediately switched its target to the snake and dug its claws into its flesh before carrying it into the sky.

      Just as it was above to leave Felix's vision, the snake exploded into poisonous acidic mist, causing the falcon's flesh and feathers to melt off and die with it...

      'The hell is this place?'

      Felix was left utterly speechless at the sight of the same little bird emerging for the same shadow with its nest, appearing like nothing happened.

      'Haha...wait a second...'

      Just as he was about to chuckle at his failed prediction, he couldn't help but draw a parallel to his struggles with the dark reaction to this exact scenario.

      He had been waiting, like the snake or the falcon, for the perfect moment to intervene and protect the concoction from the explosive attack of the dark reaction.

      However, as he observed the events before him, a realization dawned on Felix.

      'Why am I waiting for the dark reaction to invade? I have a whole minute to save mixture before the invasion could even take place.' Felix's eyes widened the more he thought about this notion, 'It's impossible in accomplishing this in rank five and below potions, but for some reason, the dark reaction takes a long time to manifest in rank six potions. This is the key to my success!'

      "What are you talking about?" Thor raised an eyebrow in surprise, "I believe Lady Sphinx must have already tried to do the same."

      "I did try it, but I didn't have the tools to pull it off." Lady Sphinx smiled faintly, "On the other hand, you boy has the best tool to make it work."

      "Master, you really think it will work?!" Felix exclaimed in excitement after realizing that his mentor had deciphered his new idea from the little details.

      "There is only one way to find it." Lady Sphinx said calmly, "Return to the lab."
