Chapter 1943 Going Solo!

Chapter 1943 Going Solo!

A couple of months later...

Felix could be seen massaging his temples with a weary expression.

"Another failure." He sighed while gazing at the ceiling, feeling signs of helplessness wash over him.

In those couple months, he had already attempted the trial more than eight times!

Unfortunately, every attempt failed for various reasons.

In the second attempt, Earth wasn't discovered by the Alexender Kingdom since the entire kingdom had fallen years ago in a civil war.

This left Earth hidden for over fifty years before finally getting discovered by the new ruling power in the kingdom.

By that time, Felix was already an old man in his seventies, enjoying his retirement and remaining years with Asna, his son, and his grandchildren.

While such a peaceful normal life was quite the dream for many, Felix knew he wanted much more. When he died and the universe was reset, he couldn't be any more certain about it.

Fortunately, the serene and loving second life had helped stabilize Doctor Venom's cold persona, making him reach out to his wife and son before queries could be raised.

After spending quality time with them, he returned to the mission, hoping his new plan would succeed.

Sadly, he kept running into one wall after another in the upcoming attempts, making his hopes dwindle and his sanity crumble little by little.

"Was my first attempt the best I can do? I refuse to accept such a sh*tty luck." Felix frowned coldly.

Over time, he began to understand that modifications no matter how small they were, their influence on timelines could turn out to be massive.

While he had gotten lucky in the first attempt, allowing him to almost replicate the same history of the universe while ensuring he obtained a cultivation system, it didn't mean that it was going to happen every single time.

After all, those universes were simulated realities, which meant, that as much as the timeline tried its best to follow the original timeline, there were always butterfly flaps going all over the place.

In the later attempts, Felix ended up either dead through misfortune, accidents, in games, or worse, not even born! n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

'It's part of the conditions...If I change it for you, it will be changed for the others too. In other words, you won't be getting their results.' Empress Emily responded calmly, understanding what he implied.

"I don't care about the others or their results." Felix replied, "This trial was supposed to be a test for each individual, not for a half-assed teamwork. I would rather carry it on solo and keep my progress private."

"You weren't thinking like this when you copied Sir Hemier's strategy." Empress Emily responded, "There is still merit to our approach, you just have to give it a chance."

"Indeed, I benefited from Sir Hemier's strategy, but I have also given back much more." Felix wasn't moved, "Now, my strategy is being used by everyone and I don't care how they twist it or be creative with it. All I want is the freedom to go all out without the bother of knowing my efforts will be pocketed cheaply."

Felix shook his head before Empress Emily could reply.

"If you have a problem with that, I would rather drop it right now...There is no point in prolonging such misery."

"Approved."

In less than a nanosecond, Empress Emily gave him the green light.

Felix wasn't surprised by this as he knew that Empress Emily had already run the calculations in her mind and understood that giving him what he wanted was much better.

After all, he was simply requesting his Data to not be shared with the other candidates, not keep it completely private.

In other words, she would still know about his progress with the rest of the rulers.

Since all she cared about was the success of the mission, she was going to do anything to make it happen.

"Much appreciated." Felix nodded respectfully.

Even without a contract, he understood that Empress Emily wouldn't go behind his back and share his data after giving him the approval.

Besides being beneath an Empress to go back on her word, the metal race took vocal pacts and agreements in high regard.

If it wasn't for the rest of the races being mostly untrusty and scammy, they would never bother to use written contracts in their dealings.

After Empress Emily left, Felix got busy with the preparations for the next attempt.

He knew that this trial might either show him the true path forward or completely shatter him...
