Chapter 1901  A War of Attrition. I

"Tsk, let's see what you got little one." Amun-Ra sneered coldly as he summoned his divine scepter and ankh.

With a mere wave of his scepter, the sky above the Eternal Kingdom darkened for a moment before thousands of colossal glowing palms began to descend, aiming directly at Felix and Asna!

Each divine palm was larger than a mountain, tearing through the sky with unstoppable force, and leaving the viewers holding their breath in dread.

'Those are the same palms that killed off Felix's clone above Posedion's territory.' Candace gulped, her mind filled with the memory of Felix using a palm made out of celestial black flames to match the first ruler's divine palm.

Alas, it didn't turn out that well.

Yet, Felix lowered his head, knowing his wife had it covered.

"Are you taking a piss?" Asna uttered crudely as she gazed at the shower of divine palms.

She crossed her twin blades in front of her; the force of destruction and creation surging within her.

Then, she swung her blades in a wide arc, forming a perfect X in the air before her. Asna merely sneered at the rulers before tapping her finger on the X mark.

Before anyone could react, two massive energy waves erupted, one glowing with the brilliant light of creation, and the other with the dark, consuming force of destruction!

Both seemed to be infused with celestial energy as their auras were coated with a tint of divinity.

Whoosh!!

The X-shaped slash cut through the air akin to a boomerang, disappearing out of vision almost instantly.

Slice! Slice!...

Each time it reappeared, hundreds of divine palms were sliced and erased without much resistance!

The watchers' eyes remained wide open, jumping from one divine palm to another, trying their best to follow the aftermath of the slash.

"Is this the power of destruction abilities infused with celestial energy?" Thor murmured, his eyes attempting their best to keep up but to no avail.

"Destruction, creation, and celestial energy...A deadly combination." Eris narrowed her eyes, "But, the rulers have more to offer than this."

It seemed like the rulers wanted to prove her right as the moment the last of the divine palms integrated, the fragments began to glow with an intense radiant light.

Then, they exploded into billions of needle-thin blades, each one a sliver of divine energy, sharp and deadly!

The sky above them was instantly filled with these blades, turning the serene sea of clouds into a storm of light!

The needle-thin blades moved with terrifying speed, converging on Felix and Asna from every direction, a barrage that seemed impossible to avoid or block.

But Asna was unfazed.

She made a gesture with her fingers and the crosslinked blades reappeared in her hands. She extended them above her head and then spun them once.

Whoosh!

The blades started spinning rapidly while increasing in size until they resembled a massive divine umbrella!

The ocean of divine blades was forcefully attracted to the spinning umbrella and was devoured by it.

Before the rulers could do anything, Asna gathered all the devoured divine energy and released it in the direction of her husband!

Felix merely extended his hand forward and accepted the incoming wave of divine energy, using the flame mark on his palm to break it apart and absorb it.

In almost no time, the entire area returned to its peaceful state. The only difference was that Felix had gotten a bit richer in energy.

Medusa and Amun-Ra glanced at each other with cold expressions. They already knew that the battle wasn't going to be simple or quick like they were used to dealing with the others.

But still, to see their attacks getting treated with such leisure and even have them turned into a source of energy, didn't sit well with them.

"Hehehe, I never thought I would enjoy seeing the rulers have such expressions." Apollo grinned widely, "It suits them, frustration."

"Don't get too excited now." Eris said calmly, "They are still testing the waters. The moment the first ruler appears, that's when they will go all ou..."

Before Eris could finish her sentence, a sudden presence started approaching, a presence unlike any they had faced before.

From the distance, the sky began to darken, and the clouds parted as if making way for a force too powerful to be hindered.

Slowly, a figure of a man emerged from the shadows and landed on top of the first ruler's incarnation.

At first sight, everyone recognized him, making them draw a deep cold breath at his authoritative aura.

Felix raised his head at last and gazed directly into the first ruler's eyes, who no longer had the divine light covering him. Then, he uttered coldly, "Ymir, nice of you to join us at last."

The first ruler Ymir said nothing, his imposing appearence remaining untouched.

He stood nearly twice the height of an ordinary man, with a well-toned, muscular build that would put everyone to shame.

 His skin was the color of the earth, a deep weathered bronze, etched with the markings of the universal codex.

A massive gray beard flowed from Ymir's chin, thick and wild, reaching down to his chest. His hair was equally long and unruly while his eyes were like glaciers, icy blue and cold.

As he stared back at Felix, he didn't bother to respond to him. He extended his hand and brought out a serpentine blade made out of bones, resembling the spine of a snake.

He placed the unique blade on his shoulder and remained in his position, seemingly having no interest in joining the battle.

"What kind of weapon is that and why does it seem like the first ruler isn't going to fight?" Candace asked.

"No one has ever seen the first ruler fight for real." Eris replied with a solemn tone, "This is the first time I see him with a weapon."

Even Asna heightened her guard as she gazed hatefully into the eyes of Ymir, knowing that it was going to be a bit difficult to fight all three of them at once if they went all out.

'The three rulers are immune to all elements/laws, making it impossible to harm them through anything besides divine attacks or by removing their immunities.' Asna pondered, 'I am in the same boat as them, which means this battle will last until one of us exhausts their celestial energy reserve.'

'This is most likely their reason for taking things slow, knowing that even if Felix tapped into the void realm and obtained a channel to his celestial energy, he wouldn't be able to absorb it fast enough to make a difference.'

Asna was quite certain about her analysis.

Besides those two giveaways, the three rulers were still sending out divine smites across the universe, forcing Felix to keep up the celestial barrier across the SGAlliance's territory.

This was enough proof that they sought after his reserve of celestial energy...Their plan was as straightforward as it could get, but it was the most effective.

It was so effective, that Felix and Asna had implanted the same strategy, desiring to outlast the three rulers' celestial reserve!

That's why Felix prioritized breaking the seal above everything else.

Since the three rulers had no clue about the stone of reality's powers and that Felix was currently manipulating the fabric of logic, they were under the assumption that it was going to take him quite a decent time.

They were that confident in their seal capabilities.

But alas, before they could launch round two, Felix suddenly stood up while dusting his buttcheeks from the mist.

Then, he stared at them with an emotionless look and said, "Your overconfidence will be your downfall."

The moment he uttered those words, Felix tapped his finger on a single letter on the wall of logic, and suddenly, the eternal kingdom's skies were engraved with illuminating divine inscriptions.

The kingdom's mortals raised their eyes to witness this glorious and divine sight.

Just as they were about to kneel in worship, the letters shattered into fragments akin to a broken mirror.

Meanwhile, behind Felix and Asna, a small black dot manifested and started to get bigger and bigger until it resembled a massive void rift, gazing into the abyss.

"You want a war of attrition?"

Felix said indifferently as he split his body into two, leaving one next to the portal while making the other stand next to Asna.

He summoned a sword out of celestial black flames and pointed the tip in the first ruler's direction.

Then, he finished with an icy grimace, "You got it."
