Chapter 1920 One Last Push...
While it was clear that his body desired the universe's heart and it didn't seem like the heart planned on stopping him, the celestial chains were a different story.
They were operating under the rigid laws of the universe and at the moment, the only thing going through their divine essence was to limit Felix's movements completely!
Thus, one chain at a time, Felix slowed down heavily as they kept tugging him away from the universe's heart!
The worst part? His powers were already 99% sealed, leaving him incapable of using any of his abilities or techniques!
"He is being held back..." Artemis covered her widened mouth, "Will he make it?!"
"I don't know..." Athena replied, her solemn eyes affixed on Felix.
Everyone could see that the distance between him and the universe's heart was in the hundred meters, a distance that was supposed to be nothing to unigins or celestials.
Yet, in Felix's situation, it felt like he crawled through the thickest swamp, hoping to cross over.
'If only I can help him.' Lord Hades tightened his grasp on his armstand in agitation.
For the Lord of The Underworld, he seldom showed emotions. But, at this very moment, he wanted nothing more than to help Felix, even by a mere push. While he wanted to help him, it still didn't mean that he regretted his previous choice of not handing out his core to him...His duties as the guardian of souls came always first.
Alas, even if he wanted to help, he knew that the dimensional pocket's seal made it impossible for portals to work. In other words, even if he unlocked a spirit portal next to Felix, he wouldn't be capable to travel across it.
The only reason Queen Ai was capable of entering Felix's void portal was because she ascended to celestial ranks, causing the universe to lead her to the eternal kingdom.
Since she stepped inside Felix's portal willingly, the universe had allowed her entry bypassing the seal's powers!
Felix knew this when he opened the void portal. That's why he went for it so quickly, understanding that if he didn't actively help her come here, the universe would pull her into the eternal kingdom forcefully and throw her somewhere random.
"Damn it, if only our cores weren't held hostage by those bastards." Aeolus cursed hatefully.
Right now, everyone seemed to want nothing but to help Felix make contact with the universe's heart while the three rulers were still being held back.
Alas, Athena, Aeolus, and Artemis were mere spectators as the moment they tried to participate the three rulers would destroy their cores.
Asna and Queen Ai were already going far and beyond to keep the weakened three rulers held down.
"Ha...haa...ahaa!!! In the end, you fell short!"
Amun-Ra broke into a crazed mocking laughter as he gazed at Felix resisting the tug of thousands of chains.
Although his situation wasn't favorable too, he understood that they would escape sooner than later as Felix's spiritual pressure was dying out rapidly!
When that happened, it was a game over for all of them.
This was what the three rulers assumed would happen, but Felix was never alone...
'I will be damned if I watched my student die at the end of his path.' Meanwhile, Thor chugged a barrel of wine before wiping his wet mouth with his sleeves.
Then, with a cold smirk, he exited Felix's consciousness space as a mere wisp, appearing right behind Felix in a fading spiritual form.
"Master..." Felix muttered in a daze as he watched his master place his hands on his back.
"Bring it home, son." With a faint gentle smile, Thor burned through his consciousness and used the fuel to push Felix as hard as he could!!
When the tenants saw this, all of them glanced at each other for less than a nanosecond before the same look took over their faces...A look of utter resolve.
Then, one by one, they exited Felix's consciousness space and placed their hands on his back, shoulders, and thighs.
When no space was left, the rest appeared in front of him and held the celestial chains from the front, wanting to pull him!
Jörmungandr, Sphinx, Loki, Shiva, Khaos, Yggdrasil, Cyclope, Marduk, Candace, Nimo, Apollo, and even Eris came out.
His entire family offered their help, no matter how small it was, creating a scene that caught everyone by surprise.
"Give them hell." Shiva sneered.
"You came so far, further than my wildest imagination...I am proud of you." Jörmungandr smiled kindly.
"I am relying on you to learn about the universe's truth." Lady Sphinx said calmly.
"My idol, you have won all your games and this is nothing but another one." Apollo laughed.
"Everyone..."
All Felix could do was gaze at their content smiles while they burned through their lifeforce, mental energy, and whatever resource of energy in their disposal to push him!
While the wisps of consciousness had nothing much to offer, the ones with their main consciousness away didn't hesitate to burn through even their souls for the sake of him.
"PUUUUUUSH!!"
With one united shout from everyone, Felix found himself sent flying again in the direction of the universe's heart against the tugging of the chains!
As he flew forward akin to a dying star, he couldn't help but turn his head one last time.
The moment he did, his emotionless eyes showed hints of appreciation, respect, and love at the sight of his family fading into nothingness...
Knowing that it was not the time for emotions, Felix gritted his teeth as he fought back against the strains of the chains, his body screaming from the effort.
Fifty meters...Forty meters...thirty meters...Ten meters!!
As Felix's pupils reflected the glow of the universe's heart, he felt his acceleration dying off rapidly as the number of chains was simply too much to handle.
"This is not how I fail..." He growled, low at first, but his frustration and defiance grew with every heartbeat. Then, with a thunderous roar that reverberated across the shattered battlefield, he reached out with his arm towards the heart, resisting the tightness of the chains.
"THIS IS NOT WHERE I PERISH..."
With one final, desperate surge of strength, Felix's fingers brushed against the Universe's Heart.
The moment his hand made contact, silence seemed to have occupied the battlefield as everyone's eyes were frozen on Felix's fingers that brushed the universe's heart surface. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Before anyone could react, the entire dimension erupted in a brilliant, blinding explosion of light, forcing everyone to shield their eyes but the three rulers!
'Is it happening...'
Ymir, Amun-Ra, and Medusa had their eyes wide open through the excruciating pain, their hearts seemed gripped by the thought of finally gazing at the other side!
But alas, nothing was shown...
Instead, a divine shockwave shot outward, shattering the celestial chains, and causing countless spatial cracks to spread out across the pocket dimension!
Yet, no one paid attention to any of this as Felix's overwhelming presence had captured everyone's attention instantly!
Freed from his shackles, Felix floated high above with his arms extended outward while his head was lifted to the limit, seemingly taking the position of someone ascending to the high heavens.
He was glowing with the energy of creation, making him resemble the one and only, True Divinity!
