Chapter 1874 The Final Showdown! II
"Do your worst," Felix uttered coldly, his clones entering a defensive formation.
His attacks might have failed to harm Ares, but he understood that his current strength had a time limit.
He couldn't maintain his current powerful form forever since the limitation removal was temporary...He couldn't abuse his laws to increase the time or such.
'All I have to do is survive until his enhancements die out.' Felix and his clones narrowed their eyes, each one already coming up with unique strategies to buy time.
Alas, Ares wasn't foolish to enter his eternal fury state without being certain about his capabilities to end this battle right away.
"Wanna see a trick?" Ares smiled wickedly.
Before Felix could respond, Ares tapped into his forehead once, and then clones created out of infinity began to emerge from his body!
At the start, they were nothing but humanoid auras. But, in no time, they transformed into a perfect clone of Ares, resembling him 100%!
He stopped the instant he matched the number of Felix's clones.
"You see, I can also duplicate myself." Ares smiled, "I can do it to infinity though, but sixteen is enough to end this."
Felix gazed at the clones silently, many thoughts roaming across his mind.
'He might be able to clone himself infinitely, but it requires abuse of laws. This must be his limit or close to the limit.'
Still, to fight sixteen similar versions of Ares when he was barely able to harm one?
Before Felix could finish his thought process, Ares and his clones made their move at once. Each clone chose a different target, turning this battle from 17v1 to 16v16!
Because of this, each Felix's clone was left to fight for their lives without the support of their allies!
Although the tenants weren't able to see even the blurs of their confrontations, they could already guess that Felix and his clones were getting their asses kicked!
'It's not looking good.' Eris frowned, 'Ares is more terrifying than we have ever assumed.'
'This is him giving it his all.' Apollo clenched his jaw, 'We have crowned him as the strongest after showing us merely 20% of his strength.'
As Felix gazed at the mismatched and merged colorful auras on the battlefield, an idea struck him akin to a lightning bolt.
'That's it, pride alone can't end the job, but if I can merge all of my embodiments and let Pride lead, I can merge my power into one unstoppable force!'
Leaping back to create distance between himself and Ares, Felix took a deep breath and closed his eyes, centering himself amidst the chaos of the battlefield.
'All of my laws hold immense destructive power. But together, under the leadership of Pride, there is a possibility of creating true destruction.' Felix idea with a sense of clarity washing over him.
He understood that his celestial form had merely removed the limitation of entering multiple embodiment states at once.
This was vastly different than merging all embodiments under one banner, one persona.
After all, each true embodiment had its own authority and it would be extremely difficult to make it lower its head willingly to another embodiment.
But, Pride was different.
If there was one embodiment capable of pulling it off, it must be him since he represented the pride of the universe!
Without an ounce of hesitation, Felix raised his arms and began to withdraw all his embodiments back to none other than his Pride's form!
"Hmmm? What now?" Ares was left intrigued as he observed Felix's pride persona create a golden barrier around himself.
Since Ares was no longer in the mood for playing around, he had no plans to watch Felix carry on with his mysterious plan.
He combined his attacks with his clones and struck the barrier with everything they had, wanting to shatter it at once!
Unfortunately, the barrier was crafted out of Pride's self-belief of invincibility and tanked all of the attacks!
However, a belief was still a mere belief.
"I won't be called the god of war if I let a mere belief falter me."
Ares sneered coldly while picking up on his assault, trashing the barrier from every single direction!
Meanwhile, within the golden barrier, Felix's mind delved inward, facing the tempestuous storm of his other embodiments' wills.
He had to forcefully take control and merge them under his Pride and it wasn't an easy task in the slightest!
