1723 The Echoing Tower. II

Sometime later, inside Felix's new room...Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

"Care to explain?" Felix asked with a hint of displeasure in his voice.

He didn't like having Apollo make decisions without counseling him first. Especially, when those decisions were related to a life and death situations.

"You should be thanking me, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to help you get rid of the celestial chains much faster," Apollo replied lazily while lying on his side and eating grapes, piece by piece.

"I will thank you if you explain the situation." Felix's eyelids twitched.

"I guess it's only right you learn about what awaits you."

"You think?"

"Don't patronize me now."

Apollo gave him a bombastic side eye before fixing his posture. The moment he sat straight, his expression turned serious.

"The Echoing Tower, Ah, it's a place in the quantum realm beyond ordinary, which defies the very fabric of reality as we know it."

Felix shifted closer in intrigue. "How so?"

"It's called a tower, but in reality, it's being referred to as such merely due to its cylinder-tall-like appearence." Apollo shared, "It is believed to be built around the heart of the first quantum creature to ever exist. When it died, that extraordinary heart remained beating for eternity."

"What about the Stone of Reality? Is it the heart you mentioned? Why is there a tower around it?" Felix raised an eyebrow, his confusion growing more.

"Yep," Apollo nodded. "The heart has been called the Stone of Reality due to its powerful presence capable of altering the reality around it after each heartbeat. Laws, rules, and even the principles of the universe began to crumble in its vicinity...The quantum realm itself starts to morph, creating illogical changes and lawless alterations."

"My idiotic counterpart even believes that the universe's authority is subjected to alteration."

"Doesn't that mean if I managed to get close to this stone of reality, there is a possibility of getting rid of the celestial chains once and for all without serving the punishment period? That sounds too unrealistic to be true..." Felix commented with a deep frown.

If there was one thing Felix was certain about, it would be the universe's rules and laws being constant across its entire existence.

As Felix absorbed Apollo's words, he couldn't deny the attraction of such an opportunity.

While The Echoing Tower was filled with unknown dangers, it was also packed with unknown rewards, and if it wasn't for such, the quantum realm's nations would have long stopped sending their troops in it.

The stone of reality was nothing but the final and ultimate treasure, but in reality, everyone knew it was nearly impossible to obtain it and they were comfortable enough to get some other goodies if they got lucky.

'The heart of the first ancient quantum being...How true is this statement? How come its heart is capable of overruling the universe's ultimate authority? Does it belong to the first entity to be born in the universe? Is it the heart of the universe? But, it can't be, since the universe's heart already exists in the eternal kingdom.'

Felix was left deep in his thoughts.

He understood that something wasn't adding up. Either the stone of reality wasn't the heart of a creature and it might be a mere anomaly in the fabric of the cosmos, or there was more to the grand picture than he had predicted.

"I wonder, how come the three rulers have never made a move to collect this stone?" Felix inquired.

"Are you kidding me? They have left no stone unturned." Apollo shook his head, "They sent a squad of Ares, Eris, Uranus, and even Lilith to collect it billions of years ago to no avail. This happened before Lilith got banished and while the tower measly had ten floors."

When they heard this, Felix and the tenants sucked a deep cold breath in shock.

"Such a stacked-up squad failed to collect it? Are you being for real?"

No one anticipated him as the implication was simply too mindblowing!

Those four were the strongest unigins to exist in the universe without mentioning Lord Hades and Kronos.

For them to return empty-handed changed their whole perspective on the tower's true danger!!

"You know nothing, some of them hardly managed to leave out of there alive." Apollo raised an eyebrow, "I am shocked Lilith hasn't told you about this, given that she was the closest one to touch the stone."

When Felix and the rest heard this, they all turned to stare at Lilith who was sunbathing lazily near the pool with an icy drink in her hand.

"..."

"..."

"..."

The image of Lilith being a badass was really too difficult for them to imagine when she spent most of her time lazing around akin to a house cat.
