Chapter 1780 Freeze.

Chapter 1780 Freeze.

1780 Freeze.

With a sudden, explosive gesture, Felix slammed his palms together, releasing the Avaricious Maelstrom at the Clockwork tower!

A massiveswirling vortex of crimson energy erupted, spiraling outwards with ferocious speed and intensity, threatening to devour anything in sight!

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The maelstrom was a terrifying sight to behold, having a center with a deep shade of blood red that seemed to throb with hunger.

Meanwhile, the outer edges were tainted with darker hues of evil energy. As the vortex expanded, the symbols of Wrath and Greed fueled it, causing its corruptive power to intensify with each rotation!

This was Felix's first sin-symbolic technique that had evil energy added to the mix. He had created it while he was in the eternal kingdom amongst the original twenty techniques.

He never found a great time to use it since evil energy was quite useless against unigins. But, in the quantum realm?

It was the ultimate weapon!

In mere milliseconds, the maelstrom engulfed the Clockwork Tower, seeping into its intricate gears and polished metal surfaces, corroding and tainting it!

The tower's very structure seemed to groan under the weight of corruption, causing Uranus' expression to turn ugly at the sight.

'Bastard! He is trying to gain ownership of the tower!!'

The understanding had struck him akin to a chilling dagger piercing his heart. He understood that if Felix succeeded, he would be able to manipulate time in the clockwork tower!

This would affect him too and there wasn't much he could do about it since the tower's authority was absolute!

'Eris! Get in here quickly!' Uranus called for support in agitation.

'I can't, he has locked down the floor.' Eris responded calmly, 'Even if I want to turn my wisp into a portal, it won't work. All you can do is buy time until the temporary spatial lockdown expires.'

'Argh, so f*cking useless!'

Furious, he pulled out his divine scythe, deciding to take matters into his own hands.

He released his radiant/resplendent divinities to the limit and phased back into the mayhem. He swung his scythe widely, releasing a powerful vibration wave at the crimson storm!

Alas, Felix was prepared to defend it with his life.

"Absolute Zero Chill!"

The seven clones waved their hands simultaneously, releasing chilling mist from their palms at the invisible vibrations, targeting them solely!

The vibrations halted in their place immediately while the crimson mist kept doing its business!

'What?!'

This sight startled Uranus, making him turn his widened eyes to Felix, seemingly wondering how he pulled it off.

His reaction was comprehensible as not even Poseidon was able to freeze his vibrations in time!

"Freeze."

With a single order from Felix, the massive clock's nine hands, which had been ticking for eternity, screeched to a sudden halt. As the hands froze in place, so too did everything within the tower.

"..."

An eerie stillness shrouded the floor.

Uranus was caught mid-motion, becoming a statue of defiance and desperation, his divine weapon engulfed in resplendent divinity froze too.

Even his radiant divinity, which was supposed to defend him from any type of law, wasn't spared.

This alone was shocking, and logic-defying, just like the tower standing up to the universe's order before.

Felix and his clones, scattered around Uranus, stopped as if turned to stone, their faces locked with various expressions.

Not even he was spared from the freezing effect!

Meanwhile, the elemental attacks, techniques, corrupted gears, and even the smallest particles of dust hanging in the air, were all caught in the temporal lock that Felix had imposed.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Yet, the most shocking part was the tenants fell under the same freezing spell, leaving them gazing at the sky with widened pupils, not a single thought in their minds...Lilith and Eris were included too.

This was enough to showcase that it wasn't a normal time-freezing ability.

Any ability that could bypass the absoluteness of divinities or celestial flames was considered at the level of the universe's authority!

In other words, this was the Stone of Reality putting down its foot on this floor's ironclad rules!

However, in the heart of this frozen tableau, a single entity remained unaffected.

An entity with an authority above celestial energy or divinities.

An entity with perfect immunities to all laws and elements.

An entity that was believed to be the lost consciousness of the universe.

It was none other than Asna's core!

With the world around it paused, and everyone's minds halted in place,the core continued its work!!!

Unhindered by the temporal freeze, it kept devouring Uranus' exposed frozen core right before his widened lifeless eyes.

The process was silent but intense, yet no one was watching it...Their eyes were on it, but it meant nothing.

While this strange plan seemed to have worked perfectly, leaving Uranus with zero counter since nothing besides Asna's core could stand against the tower's authority, it posed a good question.

How the f*ck would Felix unfreeze himself again when his thoughts and actions had been paused too?!
