Supremacy Games - Chapter 1880: Battle For Asna's Soul!

Meanwhile, the moment Felix exited the frozen timeline, he wasn’t given even a second to analyze what was discussed with Kronos. His pupils thinned murderously after finding out an emergency had broken in Asna’s core.

He swiftly changed his focus to his main celestial form and gazed at Asna’s core which was abruptly engulfed in a radiant celestial light!

As the light intensified, Asna’s soul began to recover at an astonishing rate, far beyond anything they had ever seen!

“What’s going on?!” Candace exclaimed in concern, “Is this Felix’s doing?”

“No, it’s the three rulers making their move.” Eris narrowed her eyes, “They seem to have figured out that Felix must have found out about their plan and decided to speed up the process.”

“This is bad, Asna’s soul recovery is increasing at an insane speed.” Thor frowned, “It’s already at 99%.”

Felix also knew that he was strapped for time, making him swiftly activate his newly crafted specialized detection divinity.

As the detection divinity took hold, Felix’s vision sharpened, focusing directly on Asna’s core, and bypassing any celestial covers.

What he saw next sent a chill through him.

A massive green serpentine figure was coiled tightly around Asna’s core, its scales shining with a divine radiance.

The snake’s body was impossibly large and had its long razor-sharp fangs deeply embedded into the top of Asna’s core!

Instead of sucking out her essence, it was injecting great quantities of refined celestial energy!

The sight was nightmarish, leaving the tenants to stare at the snake with horrified looks and faces paler than paper.

“What the hell is that…” Candace breathed, her voice trembling.

“Was this snake here ever since blowing Asna’s soul…” Loki murmured, despair creeping into his tone.

The notion of this snake lurking over them for years under their noses didn’t sit well with any of them…They didn’t even know if the snake saw and heard everything they were discussing.

Meanwhile, Felix ruthlessly suppressed his emotions, knowing that now was not the time for weakness.

He instantly transported above the snake’s head and placed his palms right on its scalp.

With a murderous look, he fired beams of concentrated celestial black flames, going all out to incinerate it!

Alas, as the beams landed on the snake’s head, a skin-tight holy golden barrier formed around the snake and ate the beams for lunch!

Its surface kept rippling as it absorbed the impact of Felix’s attack.

Although Felix was going all out and tried his utmost to deconstruct the barrier, it still put out a decent fight.

‘Damn it, by the time it dies out, Asna’s soul would have already completed.’ Felix’s expression hardened.

Even when he was using his main celestial form, he was still struggling, making him realize that the three rulers’ divine abilities weren’t as easy to deconstruct as the unigins using them.

This was really the worst possible time to find out.

Meanwhile, the three rulers were watching this situation from their elevated platforms, knowing that Felix could never kill the snake before Asna’s soul restoration was completed.

‘I won’t kill it in time!’

A sense of despair started to wash over Felix as his eyes kept drifting from one place to another, seemingly working out all solutions in his mind, but nothing seemed good or fast enough.

Asna’s soul was already at 99.60%.

In other words, almost nothing he came up with would be good enough.

“Try all you can, her fate is decided.” Medusa smiled coldly.

“It’s been a while since we saw despair in his face,” Amun-Ra uttered, his voice laced with venomous delight, “That’s a look fitting him the most.”

Suddenly, Felix’s expression turned frigid as he changed his focus from the snake to Asna’s soul.

“If I can’t kill the snake, I have no issues with ruining Asna’s soul twice.”

The situation had escalated far beyond his initial expectations, making him realize that only such a grim decision could work, if not already too late.

It was a desperate move, but Felix was prepared to do whatever it took to protect her from landing again in the three rulers’ hands…Anything!

Whoosh! Whoosh!…

The celestial black flames in his hands roared, ready to deliver one last attack. But, just as Felix was about to act, a soft, melodic voice interrupted him.

“Now, now, little cutie,” Lilith’s voice echoed through the core, carrying a faint yet knowing smile.

She appeared beside him, her presence was graceful and composed compared to her usual lazy playfulness.

“No need for such a dramatic solution…Allow me.”

“Huh?”

Felix paused in confusion before instantly getting rid of it, realizing that Lilith might be trying to slow him down to give the snake a chance to finish her job.

How could ever trust in Lilith’s words after what she had done to him to gain access to Asna’s core?

However, this time Lilith seemed to be telling the truth…She extended her arm towards the snake and murmured softly, “Core Flare Cleansing.”

The moment the words left her mouth, a brilliant flare of light erupted from Asna’s core instantly!

The flare was so intense, that it engulfed the entire core in a blinding milky light, making it possible for only a few to witness the next shocking happenings.

The coiling snake, its protective barrier, and any other lingering foreign presence were instantly erased with an absolute finality that left no trace behind…

After the blinding light died out, only Felix and Lilith were left standing in Asna’s core.

“See?” Lilith said with a playful smile, “No need for such drastic measures. Sometimes, all it takes is a little finesse.”

“…”

“…”

“…”

Her words fell on deaf ears as no one managed to come up with a proper reaction. Whether it was Felix, the tenants, or even the three rulers.

Everyone was left stunned. How could they not? What Lilith had just used was a core-based defensive ability, which could be used by just the owner!

Not even Felix could use them since he wasn’t considered the official owner of Asna’s core. He could give it simple commands, but to use specific core-based abilities? He had to ascend with Asna’s core and make it officially his own.

But, he never did and was keeping it as a mere placeholder, knowing that the moment Asna’s soul recovered, her core would leave and empty a slot for him.

That’s why he was holding off Ares’ ascension.

But now, his thought process and all of his plans were completely thawed by a single move from Lilith.

“How…”

In the blink of an eye, Felix gained control over his emotions and gave a deathly stare at Lilith, fearing for the worse.

Lilith always told him that if he were to attack her or try to force her out of Asna’s core, she was going to make him regret his decision real fast.

While he always thought she might be bluffing, he refused to risk it, having a tingling feeling that a manipulative witch like her must always have a plan.

Now, it became clear that she wasn’t bluffing in the slightest…
