Chapter 1939 Ymir, Medusa, Amun-Ra.
Felix had already informed his wife and son that he would be out of reach for a while. Of course, since his son was still young, he had to make his absence understandable.
Thus, he told him that he would be partaking in a secret mission, and if he succeeded, he would give him all the candy in the universe.
Without further ado, Felix requested from the seven celestial hearts to begin the trial of ascension.
Immediately after, the consciousness space turned into a void that stretched out to infinity.
The seven celestial hearts were suspended in nothingness akin to blinding stars, awaiting Felix's requests.
"Not in my wildest dreams did I expect to be given an empty canvas of the universe and the pens to color it as I desire," Felix murmured in fascination.
...
After spending a few moments appreciating such absolute control, Felix got to work by separating the universe's heart from the rest.
"The universe's heart will carry one set of modifications while three other celestial hearts will be bestowed souls to carry the rest of the modifications through the guiding monolith. The remaining three will be hidden in the universe's corners." Felix spoke to himself as he fed the universe's heart with the list of the requests he desired.
He already knew that the universe's heart possessed the most authority of the bunch. In other words, he could still carry with any modification he wanted through it, not needing the rest at all!
Those modifications consisted of creating races, enforcing rules, applying punishments, and the list goes on.
After receiving the list, the universe's heart got to work by creating a mirroring infinite dimension and locking it sealed, making it impossible for celestial entities to leave it.
When it was done, Felix tested it personally by requesting from the runic celestial heart to attempt to leave the dimension.
The moment it escaped, Felix was shocked to see the celestial heart getting dragged back by thousands of scorching divine chains.
"Absolute Authority indeed."
Soon, his shock turned into a gleeful grin as he requested, "From now on use those chains every time you need to enforce the rules."
The universe's heart blinked, seemingly registering the new request.
"Now that the prison has been created, make it so that the celestial powers can be used fully in this dimension, but limited greatly when applied to the matter universe. If abused, they will be punished by the same chains."
The golden heart flared, its the energy molding to the identity Felix bestowed upon it.
Of course, the full details of their characters were already incorporated into the list given to them, making them understand the exact form they needed to take.
While the details utter of their backgrounds, it fed them only the essence to shape their persona, not the exact details letter to letter.
"Now," Felix whispered, his gaze lingering on the radiant hearts, "become what you are meant to be. Let these myths shape you."
As Felix took a step back, his eyes traced the emerging forms of the three celestial hearts as they pulsed in sync.
After a sudden flash, the figures of Ra, Ymir, and Medusa came to life before Felix, their eyes closed shut tightly.
While the celestial hearts within them kept pulsing lively, not an ounce of life was seen in them, resembling three mythical dolls.
"I don't know if our paths will cross or not, I don't know if we will be allies in the future or enemies, I don't know if the characters I chose for you are good for my journey or not...I most certainly don't know if this whole plan is going to succeed."
Felix took a deep breath with his eyes closed shut. Then, he slowly opened them and showed a mild solemn stare, "But, I know one thing...I am going to try my best to ascend regardless of the price and you will try your best to free yourselves."
As he gazed at their peaceful facial attunement, Felix waved his hand and the three celestials took off to different locations, still no consciousness was awakened in them.
Then, he focused on the remaining three celestial hearts...The elemental heart, the origin of laws, and the stone of reality.
"To be honest, I have no idea what to do with you at the moment, but I know one thing, it will end badly for me to give you souls too."
Felix waved his hand again and sent them away, hiding them in different locations across the universe.
Felix understood that if all the hearts had consciousness, the mission would be impossible to complete.
After he finished with this, Felix went back to double-check all the lists of modifications. It was a long list that accounted for even the smallest details. For example, he made sure to change the names and appearances of Ra, Medusa, and Ymir in the history of Earth for the sake of avoiding any identity conflict.
It was an easy modification for the universe's heart.
When he saw that nothing was missing, he turned to the universe's heart and said, "I am ready to start the trial."
"Good luck." The universe's heart said emotionlessly.
"Luck?" Felix smiled foolishly, "I will need a miracle."
As the last word left his lips, Felix's body drifted into particles...
