Chapter 1911 Still as Shrewd as Ever!
Back to the present, after Ymir saved Amun-Ra's heart from Felix's clutch...
"How did this happen..." Amun-Ra's pupils broadened in disbelief.
Ymir's reaction might not be as drastic, but his thinned pupils were enough to tell of his present state.
Without wasting a moment, both of them switched to their wisp within Medusa, just to witness a whole different scene.
A scene they had been watching for a while now, putting their hearts at ease as they dealt with Felix and his clone.
It was of Medusa, totally dominating and pressuring Asna to oblivion with her ultimate divine techniques and unique specialization, celestial petrification!
It was as real as it could get, making them incapable of telling which reality was correct. For a ruler, this was impossible unless...
"Stone of reality..." Ymir said as he gazed deeply into Asna's faint mocking smirk, seemingly quite pleased with their success at pulling a fast one on them.
'I can't believe it worked...My dearest husband, you are still as shrewd and brazen as ever.'
Asna grinned while glancing at the crucified Medusa and Felix's hand that was holding her heart tightly, uncaring about the dreaded look she was giving him.
She knew that the rulers couldn't do anything to save Medusa in time since Felix had used his reality manipulation powers to have a total lockdown on the area surrounding her.
He had used much more than this to create this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...She couldn't help but think back to the days of their preparation and how this plan came to birth.
***
Many years ago, a soft glow of the moonlight peeked through the window of a cozy wooden room, casting a gentle light on the side of a comfy bed.
On the bed, Felix and Asna lay wrapped in each other's arms beneath the warmth of their blanket, their bodies snuggled close as the cool night air brushed against their skin.
Asna rested her head against Felix's chest, her fingers tracing the patterns on his tattoos.
They had just finished a long round of intimate lovemaking, leaving them completely satisfied and relaxed.
"Ahh, if it isn't for those three fogies, this moment can be cherished freely without any worries."
Asna's expression turned sour all of a sudden, her mood dampened after being recalled of what awaited them at the end of the line.
"Don't tell me you were thinking of them during the act?" Felix chuckled jokingly.
"Shut up, don't be disgusting." Asna elbowed him in the rib with an annoyed look.
"Look who's talking about disgust," Felix teased with a wide grin, "You weren't disgusted when we were..."
BOOOM!!
Before Felix could finish his sentence, he found himself lying naked near the lake with his face planted on the ground, eating a mouthful of dirt.
"I deserved that."
Yet, he merely chuckled as he stood up, dusting his ass while walking back to the house. When he entered the room, he found Asna staring at him with a faint blush on her cheeks, clearly quite ashamed.
For two celestials to be having sex, god knows what kind of freaky stuff was going on behind those walls...
"We can't underestimate them," Asna murmured, changing the subject swiftly. "Those three fogies…There's too much we don't know about their powers."
Felix nodded, his gaze focused on the ceiling, though his mind was elsewhere.
"Yeah…Their abilities are mostly shrouded in mystery. Every time they've made a move, it's been calculated with energy consumption in mind. No one has ever seen them go all out yet, which makes them even more dangerous."
Asna shifted slightly, allowing Felix to return to bed with her.
"And then there's the matter of their home-ground advantage. We'll be fighting on their territory, and they know every inch of it. That gives them an edge, an edge we can't afford to overlook."
Felix smiled wryly, his hand moving to run through Asna's hair, the soft strands slipping between his fingers.
"We'll be walking into the unknown, and I don't like that."
Asna tilted her head slightly to meet his gaze.
"As much as I keep insulting them, they are extremely clever, Felix. They've been in power for a long time. There's no telling what kind of abilities they're hiding. The moment we think we have them figured out, they'll hit us with something unexpected. We have to be prepared for that."
Felix nodded in agreement.
"Which means we need to plan for every contingency. We can't go in thinking we'll overpower them with brute force through your spiritual pressure. What if your spiritual pressure hasn't increased to the point it can overpower them? That won't work."
Asna's hand lay on his chest as she considered his words with a solemn expression.
"If your spiritual pressure proves to be ineffective, we'll need to divide and conquer. Force them to separate. If we can isolate one ruler and eliminate him first, we might be able to tip the scales in our favor. But even then, it will be extremely challenging." He added.
"You're right. Isolating them is our best bet, but that's easier said than done." Asna smiled bitterly, "They know how to protect each other, and they won't hesitate to regroup if they sense some ongoing foolplay."
Felix went silent for a little while, seemingly thinking deeply about what was the best strategy to separate the rulers while at the same time ensuring their inability to assist each other.
'Stone of reality's powers are the key to our victory.' Felix thought to himself, 'If I am going to use its powers, it needs to be a one-time thing. One move must secure the elimination of a ruler, otherwise, the loss of celestial energy will be too much to come back from.'
When Felix started thinking in this manner, ideas and plans started lining up in his mind, from which ruler he would target, to how he would bring everything together.
After some time, a faint cold smile formed on his lips, leaving Asna to chuckle in amusement.
"I know that look, you have come up with something devious."
"It's not devious, but it does require quite a lot of finesse from both of us."
"Oho? Tell me, tell me." Asna's eyes sparkled in interest.
"It will go like this..."
***
During Felix's battle against Amun-Ra...
'Asna, I am about to start.' He shared indifferently.
'Oki.'
The moment Felix received a positive response, he tapped into the invisible fabric of reality and went straight to the instructions responsible for Amun-Ra's and Ymir's wisps within Medusa's mind.
He was able to find them so quickly because he had already searched for them during his preparation stage, knowing that the fabric of reality was like an infinite book.
Without filters or ample preparations, he would spend quite some time to find what exactly he wanted.
On the outside, Felix was showing a struggling expression as he kept evading Sun of Ra's deadly beams, but inside, a cruel smile was taking form.
'Let's give you a movie to watch.'
With one fling of his finger, the temporary modification took place and quite a hefty chunk of celestial energy was devoured from within him.
'It's done, you are in the clear.' Felix said, 'Give a signal when you succeed.'
'It might take longer than I thought.' Asna frowned in irritation.
When Felix switched to his wisp inside her mind, he saw her getting bombarded with Medusa's petrification beams and other projectiles!
'Damned ultimate divine techniques.'
Felix narrowed his eyes solemnly, understanding that they had at most a couple of seconds at best before the veil lifted off from the rulers' wisps.
Of course, Felix made it impossible for Medusa's voice to reach her partners, in case she decided to beseech their main consciousness for help.
But, all of those modifications were temporary and the only reason they were working was due to him holding down both Ymir and Amun-Ra, forcing them to keep their attention on him.
'Just do your best, I think I found a way to help you pull it off in time.'
Suddenly, Felix smiled coldly after his eyes landed on the Sun of Ra, the colossal structure of celestial energy.
