1853  Altering Reality.

"Just like Asna's core can hold into unigin cores, the stone of reality can do the same too." Felix shared what he received after the ascension, "But, unlike Asna's core, it doesn't pose any authority on the cores."

Since Asna's core was called the Origin of Laws, it implied the creation and full control over all the laws in the universe.

Meanwhile, the Stone of Reality might alter the laws and logical dynamics between them, but it didn't pose the same authority over the laws as Asna's.

"So, like a storage?" Lady Sphinx raised an eyebrow.

"Yes." Felix nodded.

"How will this help you exactly?" Candace tilted her head in confusion.

"I can store one of my ascended cores into the stone of reality and empty its place at the price of losing its powers." Felix shared, "This will allow me to ascend with another core, using the same strategy."

The tenants were left taken back, not expecting such a method to be available.

"How can this even work?" Thor knitted his eyebrows, "Will the universe allow you to store your core in the stone? Isn't this the same as relegating your duties as the guardian of that law?"

"There is a more pressing question." Lady Sphinx asked, "Is it possible for you to dissociate your soul with the integrated cores? Storing a core is one thing, but dissociating your soul is different."

Since Felix said that he would lose the core's powers, it meant that the core technically wouldn't be associated with his soul anymore. If this were to happen, it would be the same as the core having no host. This would automatically push the universe into seeking a new core owner.

Also, if it were easy to let go of a unigin's duties, most would try it at least once in their lifetime.

Unfortunately, even if their souls were wiped out, or their cores got destroyed, the universe would make sure to bring them back again.

"That's the beauty of having the Stone of Reality." Felix smiled faintly, "Have you forgotten about its powers?"

"Altering reality!" Candace gasped.

"You are planning to alter the reality of how the cores system works?" Eris narrowed her eyes in intrigue.

"Just for me." Felix nodded, "I doubt it's possible to achieve it on a universal scale without exhausting million tons of liquified celestial energy. But, for one person?"

Felix gave a confident smile and said, "I am certain I can collect enough."

"Collect enough?" Eris sized him up in surprise, "You have a method to obtain celestial energy?"

"Yes."

"Interesting, then, you just need to make it accept that the cores are still linked to you as long as they remain in the stone of reality," Eris brushed over such a shocking fact, aware that she would know about everything later on.

"I feel like I am missing some details, but..." Apollo interjected with a questioning tone, "If you can do this much, why not bull out and make the universe allow you to have more than seven cores active at once?"

"Well, the only thing I can't alter is the number of slots for my hearts since they are associated with the universe's consciousness seven celestial hearts." Felix shook his head, "You can change what was created, but not the base of the creator."

"Huh?"

Both Apollos were left baffled, having no clue what the hell he was talking about. But, the rest understood him immediately.

The stone of reality's powers was grounded in the rules of the universe and could not affect the universe's consciousness foundational body.

Seven celestial hearts or seven unigin cores, there could not be more.

"Join my consciousness space, I will update you while I collect celestial energy," Felix said as he offered his extended hand to them.

At first touch, their wisps of consciousness were taken inside his mind, leaving them astounded after noticing the place's divine atmosphere.

"There sure a lot of people here, how delightful."

Apollo's smile widened to the limit after noticing that the town was packed with people and activities of all sorts. Meanwhile, his other half couldn't be more distressed.

He was already killed once without aware how it happened. Although it seemed impossible to separate them since it implied separating two laws, which were interconnected to one core, he already started to believe in Felix's miracles.

Alas, no matter how much he screamed, cursed, or begged his other side, he resisted to listen to him.

"Where is Lilith?" Eris inquired calmly as she glanced around and didn't find her presence.

"Asna's core," Felix intoned, uncaring.

Ever since his ascension, Lilith hadn't bothered to join them to give one of her infamous remarks...She stayed in Asna's core, chilling on her throne.

Right now, he could still sense her being in the same position, eating a lollipop with a lazy expression.

When she noticed his eyes on her, she gave him a seductive playful wink, making him return to ignoring her.

'Haven't you tried to kick her out of Asna's core now that you are a celestial?' Eris asked, switching to telepathy.

'Not yet.' 'Why is that?'

'I just ascended not long ago and I don't want to endanger it by acting rashly.' Felix replied with a solemn tone, 'Especially, when I have already succeeded in helping Asna recover her soul.'

Although Felix understood that his powers were on the border of omnipotence, he resisted to make a rash move that would jeopardize Asna's revival.

Felix's extracted celestial energy from the unigins was from the surface, which meant it possessed an actual quality.

'I see, smart move.' Eris nodded, 'I suggest leaving her be. When Asna's soul recovers, she can deal with her without much of a trouble.'

Eris understood that Lilith was full of cunning surprises. If she dared to enter Asna's core, it was clear she had something that would help secure her stay.

Even if she was somehow bluffing all this time, Felix would still not dare endanger it.

'True, Better safe than sorry.'

'Now, tell me exactly what happened from the moment I died.' Eris requested as she took a seat, placing one leg above the other.

While Felix was narrating the past events, he had sent his clones to the rift, standing at the edge of it.

They were all extending their palms outside of the rift, the black flame mark on their palms glowing fiercely, absorbing high quantities of the quantum energy like a magnet.

In a fluid process, the quantum energy turned into celestial energy, coursing through the clones' bodies.

After a couple of hours, Felix scanned the amount gathered and couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment.

'At this pace, it will take me at least a billion years before I can collect a similar amount of celestial energy I had harvested from Athena, Aeolus, and Artemis.' Felix realized that quantum energy was utterly useless since celestial energy was measured with real universal measurements.

While everyone in the quantum realm appeared normal, in reality, it existed in a space much smaller than a particle.

Felix's extracted celestial energy from the unigins was from the surface, which meant it possessed an actual quality.

'The matter universe is the answer.'

Felix gazed at the dimensional gaps and then at Apollo, who had already gotten comfortable with everyone and started playing them songs with his Lyre.

Sensing his gaze, Apollo turned to Felix and waved his hand at him with an ecstatic expression, seemingly enjoying singing to an audience again.

Seeing his reaction, Felix's eyelids twitched. 'He isn't gonna be pleased with the mission I have planned for him.'
