Supremacy Games

Felix realized that the reason Lilith had control over Asna's core was due to the seven sins and seven virtues being both locked on Asna's core originally but during the creation of the unigin cores, they were separated.

"The seven sins were attached to the void core while the seven virtues were left behind in Asna's core." Felix uttered with a look of enlightenment, "Since those two sets of laws were twin counterforces, separating them is the same as separating Apollo's light/darkness laws. Even in different cores, they might still have a bit of control over the other laws."

"Your reasoning makes sense." Eris supported his theory, "It never made sense for Lilith's seven sins to be attached to void, but now?"

The tenants nodded in understanding as they realized that the seven sins were never supposed to be attached to any unigin core.

They were a set of laws, which should have remained in Asna's core with the seven virtues since it didn't make sense to separate them.

"This somewhat explains how Lilith was capable of using Asna's core abilities." Lady Sphinx added with a frown, "But why one? Why did she disappear after using one? How come she had to try so hard to access Asna's core if she originally had this much control over it?"

All of those were valid questions, but unfortunately, no one had the answers or the time to think of them.

Asna's awakening was on the verge of completion as the bright holy light around her started dying out.

When Felix saw this, he knew that he could not start the battle with the three rulers with so many questions surrounding Asna/Lilith.

In his eyes, this might be Lilith's plan to return somehow after Asna awakened. There were just too many connections to skim past such a possibility.

'This is going to cost me a leg.' With a firm look, Felix tapped into the fabric of reality and swiftly searched for one specific rule.

The rule that ensured Asna's expulsion from the matter universe immediately after her awakening and becoming a true celestial.

He altered the rule just enough to help her remain behind temporarily. He did it by slowing down the speed of the celestial chains. They were still going to snatch her, but not as instantaneously.

When the alteration took part at last, Felix realized that it had consumed at least 5% of his total celestial energy reserve!

He couldn't help but suck in a cold breath.

'I hope it was worth it.'

He quickly dropped the thought and refocused on Asna, who had finally concluded her awakening phase.

Whether it was Felix or the tenants, no one was capable of taking their eyes off her as she started resembling a true goddess of purity.

Her hair was milky white with red tips while her skin was shimmering with pure light continually, like touching it was a blasphemous act.

However, when she opened her eyes, everyone was surprised not by their absolute beauty, but by a single tear trickling down her cheek.

Asna looked at Felix, her eyes filled with an untold amount of sadness and gloom. An unexpected reaction for someone who possessed just awakened to their full strength.

"Asna, what happened..."

Felix swiftly went to her and swept the tear gently from her cheek with his sleeve.

"It's Lilith..."

"Lilith! Tell me, did she do anything bad to you? Do you feel her presence inside?!"

Felix immediately got defensive, his eyes activating divine detection and scanning Asna all over.

"No, it's not that...I."

Asna tried to speak up, but in the end, she was too overwhelmed. She took a deep breath and then murmured, "It's best if I just showed you..."

The moment she said this, she tapped into Felix's forehead, putting a memory orb directly in his mind.

Felix regained control over his emotions and dove into the memory orb while making sure to share his vision with everyone else.

***

Billions of years ago...

Lilith could be seen relaxing lazily on a lavish throne, her gaze drifting across the grand chamber in disinterest.

She sighed while twirling a lock of her dark silken hair around her finger, her thoughts beginning to wonder about doing something to get rid of her chronic boredom.

"Perhaps I should stir the pot a little," She mused, "Hephaestus has been far too quiet lately. A little 'accident' in his territory could make things interesting. And if Poseidon had been to be conveniently blamed…Well, that could lead to quite the specta..."

Before she could finish her wicked plan, the first ruler's indifferent voice resounded in her mind.

'Lilith, your presence is required.'

"Oho? Sounds interesting." Lilith's gaze sparkled in intrigue, teleporting from her throne immediately.

When she reappeared, she was sitting on her platform within the celestial dimensional pocket next to Uranus and Eris...Even Ares was attending, making her interest grow bigger.

"Since everyone is here, I will make it brief." The first ruler spoke calmly, "The tablet has released a new instruction...Pay a visit to the Echoing Tower."

"The Echoing Tower?" Uranus frowned, "Isn't that the new emerging anomaly in the quantum realm?"

"Yes, it seems that there is an important treasure behind the birth of the tower called the stone of reality by the natives." Medusa nodded, "We have to retrieve it. It could be one of the keys to our great escape."

"Since we can't make a move personally, I believe you four are more than capable of retrieving it before anyone can notice your departure."

Lilith and the rest glanced at each other for a moment, noticing that the bulk possessed no problems with taking the mission.

Eris wanted to study the new treasure, Uranus would do anything for their goal, Lilith and Ares seemed bored as hell and would do it for their own sake.

Thus, all four of them shrugged their shoulders and took off toward the Quantum realm, unbothered by the lake of reward.

For beings like them, not even celestial energy could move them to do something against their will.

Soon, the memory screen went black and the tenants conversed with each other.

"Eris already showed us what happened below, did something different happen to Lilith?" Candace wondered.

"Lilith was believed to be the only one who got too close to the stone of reality." Felix narrowed his eyes, "It seems like she has indeed touched it and saw a vision of her own."

When he said this, the memory orb activated again and showed them a scene of Ares, Eris, and Uranus being heavily resisted by the stone of reality.

Regardless of what ability they used, they weren't able to pierce through the miasma surrounding the stone of reality.

When everyone saw how Uranus almost got himself killed, escaping barely, Eris shook her head and said, "Let's head out, if even abusing our laws doesn't work, nothing will."

As she said this, there had been already three celestial chains tightening around her. Ares and Uranus were also under the same punishment.

"Tsk, how can a mere stone be able to resist us this hard?" Uranus clicked his tongue in irritation.

"It's indeed fascinating." Ares murmured while scratching his chin, "Such a treasure must be on a celestial level somehow."

"I think so too, only the three rulers must have what it takes to retrieve it." Eris nodded as she turned around, "Let's get out of here."

Just as Ares and Uranus wanted to follow her, Lilith remarked with a hint of intrigue in her voice, "Not yet, I haven't given it a try."
