1657 One Question For Each. |
Meanwhile, inside that peculiar reality, where neither time nor anything made any sense, barely a nanosecond had gone by eversince Felix's clone capture.
"How did this happen? | am supposed to be protected by my celestial flames from any law-based effect!’ Felix's clone asked inhis mind, but no one was there to answer him.
He was left completely alone with Eris in this strange reality.
"Hmmm, it seems like that vixen hasn't taught you much about me." Eris commentated calmly akin to a disappointed mother,“Are you still on bad terms? Aren't you a bit short-sighted little one? Whether you hate her for manipulating you or not, thatshouldn't discourage you from using her knowledge to the fullest. After all, isn't your goal to defeat the three rulers and save yourprincess? It's doubtful you will achieve it even with her full support, don't even mention without it.”
"..." Felix was left silent, having no clue what to retort with.
This was their first-ever meeting and not even a split second had passed, she had already berated him, questioned his love, andadvised him all at once.
She was the enemy, but didn't act like one in the slightest and seemed genuinely curious about his every motive like this wholesituation was an interesting experiment to her.
Seeing that Felix wasn't responding and seemingly still processing this turn of events, Eris closed her tome and manifested aperfect cubic white table and chairs.
Then, she sat down on one side and extended her hand to the other chair, offering with the guiding tone of an elder, "Sit down,your main consciousness has won his battle and retreated to safety. So, let's have a decent conversation...You seem somewhatlost in your quest."
Felix glanced at her expressionless face and the chair for a moment, having no idea what to think.
‘| can't trust her even if it seems like she means no harm...She is part of the upper celestials directly under the three rulers. All ofthis can be a facade.’
After what happened with Lilith, Felix had no interest in putting his trust in another unigin regardless of how sincere theysounded.
So, the first thought that came into his mind was to use his greed laws to get himself out by sacrificing what remained of celestialenergy within him.
However, he soon realized that his connection with the seven sins laws was also severed!!!
"Huh? It doesn't work, why doesn't it work?! How couldn't it work?! | am the paragon of sins! Those laws are mine and minealone.’
Now, Felix began to feel pure dread rising in his heart as he gazed at Eris' expressionlessface.
Who could blame him? Unigins were the sole utilizers of their laws and not even the three rulers should be able to take away hispowers to use them.
That's something only the universe should have the power to do!
“How about you sit down now?" Eris offered again calmly, "I will help you understand."
"It's not like you left me any choice." Felix finally decided to accept her offer.
"| will answer one of your questions and you will answer mine." Eris offered, "How does that sound?"
Felix nodded in acceptance without much hesitation. He understood that Eris must have some wicked powers in this reality,which might allow her to invade his memories or do much worse if she decided.
Hence, it was best to cooperate willingly, at least, he would be getting some information back in this way.
"| already know your question, so allow me to answer it." Eris began, her voice steady and clear, "Order and Disorder are notmerely forces; they are the fundamental underpinnings of all existence. They are the warp and weft upon which the tapestry ofreality is woven. Order is the structure, the predictability, and the laws that govern the universe. Disorder, on the other hand, isthe unpredictable, the random, the force that brings change and chaos."
She paused for a moment, allowing Felix to absorb her words, then continued. "You see, my power lies in the balance andmanipulation of these two primal forces. | can create realms where order prevails, where everything follows a set pattern, or | canfashion a reality where disorder reigns, where predictability is thrown to the wind."
"Just like in this reality, where the seven sins laws have been erased.”"Erased..." Felix was left stunned.novelbin
He didn't think that even when he became a unigin, there would come a day when his powers would be stripped off him byanother.
But at the same time, it made the most sense.
What was the order? It was the set of rules and laws that the universe abides by. Disorder was the chaos produced when thisorder was destroyed.
As the ruler of those two primal powers, she could change the rules and the laws to her pleasure in this reality, which meant in asense, she was higher in universal control compared to Lilith!
But, for such a magnificent and omnipotent power, the universe would not allow it to exist without a price.
Eris gently tapped her book, which lay open on the table. "This book is not just a collection of words. You can say it is a conduitof my power, a tool that allows me to shape reality according to the dictates of order and disorder."
"Just like your seven sins laws had limitations imposed by the universe to maintain its balance, this book is my limitation." Sheshared, unbothered in the slightest above informing the ‘enemy’ of her powers and weaknesses.
Felix gazed at the book and asked with a confused look, "How does it work exactly? How can a book limit you from using yourpowers? A unigin?"
Felix could understand the universe setting rulers and structure for even unigins. But at the same time, it gave them a choice toabuse them and break those rules as long as they could handle the punishment.
But based on her wording, it seemed like she couldn't use her powers without the book as a conduit.“One question for each, little paragon." Eris cracked a faint emotionless smile."Go ahead." Felix respected the deal even though his curiosity was eating him from the inside.
"| desire you to answer my first question." Eris questioned with a sincere tone, "Is your love between you and the exiled celestiala mere chemical reaction or something different? Let me rephrase...When you ascended and became a unigin, the ruler of yourown body, mind, and emotions, did you feel any change in your emotions toward her?"
While Felix couldn't utilize his laws, as the paragon of sins, his sense of evil intent or negative emotions was at its peak in theuniverse.
This made him able to discern that Eris wasn't feeding him with rubbish information and was being genuine.
At least, this what was his senses told him and this made him opt to share the truth as well to gain more useful information fromher.
"Truthfully, my feelings were thesame while | was a mortal, became adeity, and after | ascended to aunigin." Felix anwsered with a serioustone, "nest reveniieve Gatienstronger With time and | never oncefelt like it was a byproduct of achemical reaction that | cancontrol...It's more than that, it'sspiritual, like she is my genuinesoulmate and without her, | will neverfeel complete again. | don'tunderstand how to describe it anybetter than this."

"No need, you have already described it to perfection." Eris placed her fingers under her chin thoughtfully and stayed silent for amoment.
‘Interesting, if his answer can be used as a piece of evidence, then it seems like the prophecy might have some truth to it."“What is it?" Felix frowned after realizing that this question might not be as innocent and useless as it seemed to him."Is this your second question?"
Just as Felix was about to give her ahead nod, she added, "For your
, onatinformation, myayestiohs regardingyou are that many...So, choosecarefully. Also, | will answer onlyquestions regarding me." The contentis on NovelDrama.Org! Read the latestchapter there!
In other words, she found only a few things about him intriguing and after getting her answers, she wouldn't bother to entertainhim any longer.
This changed everything for Felix as he knew that such an opportunity to learn more about the inner parts of the upper celestialrealm.
He tried to utilize his greed laws before to find out about the three rulers and Asna’s situation, but the universe refused to givehim answers because he hadn't ascended yet.
After ascending, those questionsrelated to the three rulers seem
akin to a taboo as\the (iverse madeit\cléar th tthe only way for him tofind out was through abusing hislaws. The content is onNovelDrama.Org! Read the latestchapter there!
Felix refused to put himself in a slumber either now or never, knowing that if it happened, the three rulers would not sit by andwatch.
No one would be there to protect him during his slumber besides Lord Hades, who was already extremely weakened and servinghis punishment.
So, he postponed it for later.
"| desire to understand how you managed to bypass the celestial flames’ effects and if | can achieve it too," Felix queried with asolemn expression.
In Felix's view, bypassing celestial flames would enable him to do the same for divinities. This was significant, considering thathis three mortal enemies were their owners!
