Sometime later, Felix exited the spirit realm with his partners and headed toward the latest known location of Kronos.
He had already visited Carbuncle and shared a small talk while drinking tea in his breathtaking garden.
Felix didn't forget to tell him about his gemstone manipulation and how he was maintaining it in an egg using a wish...Felix offered to return it to him, but Carbuncle refused, telling him that he had no use for it anymore.
He told him to bestow it upon someone he saw worthy of it...Felix accepted his will and took his leave.
Of course, he didn't forget to check on Miss Sanae and his old friends. Since they had lost their memories of him, Felix checked on them from a distance.
He was pleased to find out that Miss Sanae had joined the Enforcers Department and became a captain in no time while the rest of his friends either stayed with her or went to start their own careers.
As for Duke Humphrey? His punishment of serving more than a hundred thousand years burning by the eternal black flames had yet to conclude.
Felix had flown right past him without a single intention of showing him mercy even when his cries sounded hollow and dead...
When he was done with the heavenly plane, Felix considered checking up on Noah and seeing if he needed any help. But, he realized that Noah was just as stubborn as him, and he would definitely reject his assistance whatsoever.
Thus, he left him to carry on his mission alone.
Now that Felix was in full control of his emotions, he understood that his grandfather and friends were already in the safest place in the universe under Lord Hades' protection.
In other words, even when he was now a celestial and had the powers to revive them at a decent price, he decided not to.
He knew that they would be an easy target for the three rulers and he had no intention of risking the destruction of their souls...If that occurred, it would be an entirely different story.
For now, his priority was reaching Kronos and seeking to obtain his core.
"Do you think he will agree?" Candace wondered.
"I doubt if he is even awake," Thor said.
"He is the space and time guardian. If he wants to meet you, he should be awaiting you." Lady Sphinx said calmly.
"That's tru..."
Before Felix could finish his sentence, his focus instantly switched to his dragonic clone in the void realm.
The moment he opened his eyes, he was met with the sight of a character materializing out of nowhere.
He was clad in gleaming armor that radiated an aura of exalted authority and was carrying a divine polearm above his shoulder.
He was biting into a wheat straw and had a cold look as he stood far above Felix, matching his astronomical size.
"Paragon," Ares intoned with a chilly smile, "Are you ready for round two?"
Before Felix could react, Ares raised his hand, and a powerful symbol began to glow in the air before him.
'Finality Seal!'
Felix recognized the symbol immediately, making him understand that if he didn't act quickly, his powers would be locked up, just like what happened in the Echoing Tower!
However, before he could make his move, the seal was suddenly covered in a radiant divine light, making its effect manifest instantly on him!
The Finality Seal illuminated the void realm, its glow intensifying as it solidified its hold on Felix, causing his movements to cease, his form frozen in a state of enforced stasis!
Even the absorbed void energy came to a halt, canceling the process of celestial deconstruction.
'How? Is he using resplendent divinity?'
Felix was stunned, not expecting the Seal's effect to be this swift and powerful. It was nothing like the version used in the Echoing Tower.
He was confused because he couldn't sense the existence of resplendent divinity on the seal...Yet, it was the only logical explanation in his eyes.
'It can't be resplendent divinity...It's too perfect.'
Even Eris was left baffled as this was the first time she saw such a perfect and balanced divine law-based ability.
In simpler terms, resplendent divinity was a roughly standardized boost for abilities while this ability seemed to have been born divine from the start.
This was simply impossible for a unigin!
Knowing that it wasn't the time for questions, Felix swiftly ignited the celestial black flames across his entire body, holding nothing back!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The flames erupted with great fervor, uncaring about the seal of finality's freezing effect! Their authority seemed to supersede all divinities and laws' authorities, which was the greatest aspect of it.
It was like the fire were considered outside of the universe's system of rules, unlike the divinities!
"Not so fast."
Ares sensed the imminent threat of Felix breaking free and knew he had to act swiftly. With a wave of his divine polearm, he cast Absolute Quarantine!
It was also a divine version as the blinding light bursting from Ares' weapon turned into a massive golden sphere. It expanded rapidly, encasing Felix within its confines almost instantly.
Before Felix could react, he found himself outside of the void realm and into a new timeless prison with infinite strata designed to forbid his escape!
The celestial black fire around Felix roared in defiance and at last, freeing him from the Seal of Finality's overbearing effect.
But now, he was trapped in a separate dimension with seemingly infinite strata of dimensions.
Still, this didn't faze Felix in the slightest, knowing that he could always use a wish to get himself out of this place.
"If you think it will be easy to escape this prison, you are godly mistaken." Ares uttered with a faint cold smile, "Each layer has its own seal of finality while the laws of infinity govern the main dimension. Put simply, if you use a wish, it will activate infinitely until it bankrupts you and gets you chained up."
"I advise you not to try it out," Ares cracked his neck as he uttered, "It will be a damn shame to have our battle end in such an anti-climatic manner."
"I see."
Felix gave him a slight nod in understanding and removed such a thought from his mind. He could easily tell that Ares wasn't lying since no one could hide their bad intentions from him.
Although Felix wasn't in the best position, he still wasn't fazed.
"If I may ask, what kind of divinity are you using?" Felix asked with a hint of intrigue in his eyes.
"Oh, you must be wondering about my divine abilities." Ares crossed his legs casually while putting his polearm above his knee, seemingly in the mood for a conversation.
"Yes." Felix frowned, "It's completely different than what we know."
"Indeed, they are an entirely different concept called specialized divinities." Ares nodded with a hint of annoyance, "I have just recently opened my eyes and was introduced to it. The three rulers have played with my soul a bit to make it work, which isn't my preference. But, after realizing that your strength has grown to such a monstrous level, I allowed it."
He added with a faint smile, "It should equal the playing field between us and help me achieve a perfect ending to my saga. Of course, if you were up to the task."
'Ares, stop blabbering and finish him off.' Amun-Ra chided coldly, 'He might be a mere clone, but he possesses multiple cores on him. We need those cores.'
'Shut it, your job is done.' Ares replied indifferently, 'I am going to play this however I like.'
Before Amun-Ra could respond, Ares blocked off their communication attempts using his laws.
Then, he refocused on Felix and sighed, "It's a shame I don't get to fight your celestial version, but I guess your clone is enough."
