Chapter 1941 Merged Personalities.
A few moments later, Felix opened his muddled eyes to find himself sitting in his living room within his UVR's private mansion.
Memories of his double life merged and were categorized carefully by the seven celestial hearts to prevent his brain from getting fried.
Still, the moment Felix came back to his senses and understood what had just happened, his heart pounded against his chest as the recollections crashed over his mind akin to a tsunami.
His breaths came out in quick shallow gasps while his body instinctively tensed as his two personalities clashed.
But immediately after, Queen Ai activated the prepared protocol for this scenario.
"You are Felix Maxwell, you have gone through another life as part of a trial to ascend to godhood. You are Felix Maxwell...You are Felix Maxwell."
As she kept repeating it over and over again, Felix quickened breathes started to slow down.
It was like with each repetition, Felix stabilized his core identity, which was Felix Maxwell.
He might have been The Venom Doctor on the other side and god knows the kind of life he went through, right here, he was Felix Maxwell.
Fortunately, the experiences Felix went through in the first universe had helped him grow a much better emotional control.
Thus, even when everything was still chaotic, he hadn't lost his brain like Ryzhel.
However, it still took him more than six hours of sitting in absolute silence, reflecting on every scene and experience, before finally uttering his first words. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"I wasn't even close..." He paused to take a deep breath, his voice resembling The Venom Doctor more than Felix's old persona, "An entire universe was deleted and I wasn't even close..."
'You may not have been close, but your strategy has proven to have the most success compared to the others.'
Suddenly, Empress Emily's voice resounded in Felix's mind. Then, she manifested in his house with the same expressionless visage.
"You saw?" Felix asked calmly.
"Yes, and we have already shared a summarized version of your life with the rest of the candidates." Empress Emily praised, "I have to say, with the tools given, you sure have climbed further than anyone would have anticipated."
In reality, she didn't really have to say anything. Felix never had any intention to drop out of guilt for erasing those universes.
It was for a simple reason.
'I made a promise to myself that the moment I commit to this path, I won't stop until I ascend and revive all the destroyed universes.' Felix thought with a solemn look.
Felix knew that he was harvesting lives with each attempt he failed. Thus, the only way forward was to keep pushing and pushing until the finish line...Only then could he correct all his past failures with his omnipotent powers.
To be honest, this was the smartest approach any candidate could follow.
Unlike Emilia, they were no psychopaths to feel no compunction over their actions.
In simpler terms, unless they didn't want the guilt to kill them, they had to have hope that everything would be fine in the end...They had to.
"The success of the tablet has proven that my path is correct, I just need to change my approach for the next attempts."
Felix brought out hundreds of holograms and filled them up with all the obtained data in the 1st universe.
"If it was possible to be given the whole data of the universe after death, it would have been easier. But for now, this will do." He said as he scanned all the important details in his other life.
The seven celestial hearts had made it clear before that information harvested from the simulated realities was linked to their experiences personally.
In other words, unless Felix's other persona interacted with the three celestials or any other object personally, he would have no access to it after death.
The only reason Sir Heimer brought such information was due to the fact he wasn't even born. After all, how could the seven sentinal celestial hearts follow his instructions blindly when his birth was his first task?
"Surprisingly, I have done great and survived until I maxed out my potential." Felix rubbed his chin as he recalled his other life.
When it came to the happenings of his birth and childhood, everything remained the same. The only change was the discovery of Earth being affected by a couple of years as it had happened during his early twenties.
Unfortunately, the day of chaos still claimed his grandfather's life, leaving Felix on his own.
But, since Felix was already in his twenties and had mostly grown out of his parents' death, his grandfather's death didn't affect him negatively.
Instead, it helped him strive to improve his life and fight to claim a better future.
