1853 Altering Reality.
"Just like Asna's core can hold into unigin cores, the stone of reality can do the same too." Felix shared what he received after the ascension, "But, unlike Asna's core, it doesn't pose any authority on the cores."
Since Asna's core was called the Origin of Laws, it implied the creation and full control over all the laws in the universe.
Meanwhile, the Stone of Reality might alter the laws and logical dynamics between them, but it didn't pose the same authority over the laws as Asna's.
"So, like a storage?" Lady Sphinx raised an eyebrow.
"Yes." Felix nodded.
"How will this help you exactly?" Candace tilted her head in confusion.
"I can store one of my ascended cores into the stone of reality and empty its place at the price of losing its powers." Felix shared, "This will allow me to ascend with another core, using the same strategy."
The tenants were left taken back, not expecting such a method to be available.
"How can this even work?" Thor knitted his eyebrows, "Will the universe allow you to store your core in the stone? Isn't this the same as relegating your duties as the guardian of that law?"
"There is a more pressing question." Lady Sphinx asked, "Is it possible for you to dissociate your soul with the integrated cores? Storing a core is one thing, but dissociating your soul is different."
Since Felix said that he would lose the core's powers, it meant that the core technically wouldn't be associated with his soul anymore. If this were to happen, it would be the same as the core having no host. This would automatically push the universe into seeking a new core owner.
Also, if it were easy to let go of a unigin's duties, most would try it at least once in their lifetime.
Unfortunately, even if their souls were wiped out, or their cores got destroyed, the universe would make sure to bring them back again.
"That's the beauty of having the Stone of Reality." Felix smiled faintly, "Have you forgotten about its powers?"
"Altering reality!" Candace gasped.
"You are planning to alter the reality of how the cores system works?" Eris narrowed her eyes in intrigue.
"Just for me." Felix nodded, "I doubt it's possible to achieve it on a universal scale without exhausting million tons of liquified celestial energy. But, for one person?"
Felix gave a confident smile and said, "I am certain I can collect enough."
"Collect enough?" Eris sized him up in surprise, "You have a method to obtain celestial energy?"
'I just ascended not long ago and I don't want to endanger it by acting rashly.' Felix replied with a solemn tone, 'Especially, when I have already succeeded in helping Asna recover her soul.'
Although Felix understood that his powers were on the border of omnipotence, he resisted to make a rash move that would jeopardize Asna's revival.
Felix's extracted celestial energy from the unigins was from the surface, which meant it possessed an actual quality.

'I see, smart move.' Eris nodded, 'I suggest leaving her be. When Asna's soul recovers, she can deal with her without much of a trouble.'
Eris understood that Lilith was full of cunning surprises. If she dared to enter Asna's core, it was clear she had something that would help secure her stay.
Even if she was somehow bluffing all this time, Felix would still not dare endanger it.
'True, Better safe than sorry.'
'Now, tell me exactly what happened from the moment I died.' Eris requested as she took a seat, placing one leg above the other.
While Felix was narrating the past events, he had sent his clones to the rift, standing at the edge of it.
They were all extending their palms outside of the rift, the black flame mark on their palms glowing fiercely, absorbing high quantities of the quantum energy like a magnet.
In a fluid process, the quantum energy turned into celestial energy, coursing through the clones' bodies.
After a couple of hours, Felix scanned the amount gathered and couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment.
'At this pace, it will take me at least a billion years before I can collect a similar amount of celestial energy I had harvested from Athena, Aeolus, and Artemis.' Felix realized that quantum energy was utterly useless since celestial energy was measured with real universal measurements.
While everyone in the quantum realm appeared normal, in reality, it existed in a space much smaller than a particle.
Felix's extracted celestial energy from the unigins was from the surface, which meant it possessed an actual quality.
'The matter universe is the answer.'
Felix gazed at the dimensional gaps and then at Apollo, who had already gotten comfortable with everyone and started playing them songs with his Lyre.
Sensing his gaze, Apollo turned to Felix and waved his hand at him with an ecstatic expression, seemingly enjoying singing to an audience again.
Seeing his reaction, Felix's eyelids twitched. 'He isn't gonna be pleased with the mission I have planned for him.'
