Chapter 1882 A Sacrifice or Ploy?

After they separated for the second time, Felix's expression turned solemn. He told Asna about what just happened and how if it wasn't for Lilith, he would have been forced to blow her soul to rescue her.

Then, he asked with a serious tone, "Do you feel any change within you? I refuse to believe that Lilith has sacrificed her life for your sake."

"Hmm, nothing?" Asna shook her head, "If she has done something to my soul or core, I would know it."

"I see..." While he trusted Asna's words, he still refused to accept such a turn of events. He would rather trust in the universe ceasing to exist all of a sudden than accept Lilith's sacrifice.

"You said she was able to use my core-based defensive abilities." Asna analyzed thoughtfully.

"Yes, and she disappeared after using just one." Felix inquired, "What do you think? In my eyes, if she can use them, then, she is no different than being the owner of your core. This is simply impossible on so many levels."

"True, even you could give simple commands to my core due to your thin connection with the universe's consciousness." Asna nodded seriously, "Yet, she seemed to have higher authority over you."

"I know, it's simply illogical." Felix frowned, "let's examine with a wish."

Felix went on and wished for the answer from the universe, paying whatever price was needed. The answer he received wasn't to his expectation.

"She is really gone?" His pupils enlarged in shock.

He assumed that the universe would at least not answer him, believing that Lilith might have done something that not even the universe would pick up on.

Alas, his suspicion came back negative.

Now, he had no clue what to think.

All of his senses were screaming at him that Lilith would never come this far and kill herself for Asna's sake...Yet, everything pointed to her truly being gone.

"Maybe she...I don't know, I didn't interact enough with that slut to understand what goes in her mind." Asna waved her hand carelessly, dropping the matter entirely.

Although Lilith had saved her, she didn't feel an ounce of appreciation. She had heard about how she exploited her man to gain access to her core.

She was more pissed about what she did to Felix than the fact she resided in her core for such a long time.

Both rulers' expressions turned solemn, understanding that if Asna were to awaken, their peaceful lives would be no more.

Even if she wasn't the universe's consciousness replacement as everyone assumed, her awakening would still put her at a scary level.

After all, she was allowed to roam the universe as a unigin/celestial, but after her awakening, she would be a true celestial.

While they didn't understand if the universe would force her to enter the eternal kingdom or not, they were certain she would come for them on her own. After their heinous treatment of her, she was bound to seek revenge.

"The prophecy tablet has changed..." The first ruler frowned, "Asna's core has vanished from the instructions."

"It did." Amun-Ra's expression went cold as he gazed at the empty prophecy tablet, "There are no further instructions."

The only thing remaining was the black hole at the very top, but the rest of the instructions were all erased.

"Does this mean we are left to our own devices?" Medusa questioned.

They had been following the tablet's instructions for billions of years, it felt weird to act on something that wasn't instructed on them.

"Damn it, did we just waste our time on nothing?" Amun-Ra cursed.

All three of them were so desperate to reach the other side, that they were willing to follow the instructions of a tablet with unknown origins.

While they knew that wasn't the smartest decision, desperation called for desperate choices.

Still, they did hope that the ending would be to their benefit.

But now, it seemed like all of their efforts had done nothing but help one mortal climb to unimaginable heights.

A climb that was so impressive, it wouldn't have been possible without such instructions. Luck might have played a huge part, but still, those instructions provided the outline.

"Both of you are missing the big picture..." The first ruler remarked calmly, seemingly unaffected by such disappointing results.

He looked at the empty tablet and shared with a knowing tone, "The tablet has done exactly what we wanted from it. It gave birth to two new celestials who will be coming at us with everything they got."

"If you value and desire your freedom, we are left with only one step." His voice turned frigid all of a sudden, "Prepare for a war as the final winner will have what it takes to break the universe's heart and reach the other side."
