Chapter 1849 The Stone of Reality's Powers.
"You couldn't hold it in anymore?" Felix chuckled as he joined them at the central table.
"None of us could." Jörmungandr uttered with an astounded tone, "We thought it was capable of only burning matter and dealing immense pain for eternity. How did it evolve into breaking apart divinities and transforming them into celestial black flames?"
"It's not the doing of the black flames."
Felix shared with a faint smile as he brought out a black flame on top of his palm.
"It's the stone of reality's doing. Remember when we saw how the stone of reality used its powers to create a balance between laws, which resulted in shaping our reality as it is?"
The tenants nodded.
"Well, I found out that Asna's core and the stone of reality are considered intertwined. While Asna's core creates and controls laws, the stone of reality can manipulate their effects and give them meaning."
"You mean like change the laws' entire identity?" Elder Kraken raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Asna can create a law of fire while the stone of reality can make it freeze objects instead of burning them?"
"Exactly." Felix smiled, "The stone of reality's powers is equal to Asna's powers for the very reason. It is the cornerstone of our universe's reality and without it, laws can be anything they can be."
"Doesn't this mean you have control over all laws and can change them as you desire?" Candace exclaimed.
For a celestial heart at the same rank as Asna's, it wasn't farfetched to have such a commanding authority over the laws. U//ppTodat𝒆d fr/𝒐/m nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)\/m
"I can't do it wantonly though." Felix shook his head, "To change the reality of an already established law takes immense energy. If we weren't in the quantum realm, where the universe's rules are more forgiving, the stone of reality wouldn't have caused such chaos."
"For it to create the reality in our universe through giving effects and proper logical connection between our laws, it devoured a significant amount of the released celestial energy."
"I see, it makes sense."
The tenants understood that manipulating laws in the matter universe was not the same as making it in the quantum realm.
Quantum energy ruled this place and it could be used for everything and anything...Even the stone of reality was using it to change realities around it.
"Also, the process isn't simple as it requires another celestial language," Felix added.
"Another celestial language?" Thor gaped in astonishment.
"Don't notify me it's the same one we saw behind the All-Seeing-Eye?" Lady Sphinx caught on immediately.
None of them forgot the mysterious language, which seemed foreign to even Lilith.
"Exactly."
Felix nodded as he manifested a sentence written in peculiar writings, unlike the three celestial languages. Then, he tapped in the sentence on the central table. The writings disappeared immediately and in an instant, the table turned into crystalized ice.
"Although I can control ice laws, I didn't tap into them." Felix remarked calmly, "The stone of reality's control occurs through rewriting and modifying the structure of the law."
"Whoah," Candace exclaimed in astonishment, her reaction shared by the tenants.
"How does it work exactly? Is it similar to the three celestial languages?" Lord Marduk, the expert in universal celestial languages, inquired.
"Not precisely." Felix clarified, "While the three rulers' languages can communicate with laws and elements, my language hijacks the law's structure entirely. This allows me to manipulate its structure to what I desire, however, I can't control it unless I own the law manipulation or use one of the three celestial languages."
"I see." Thor rubbed his chin, "If we considered a law like a building, then your language is the designer while the three languages are the beneficiaries."
"More or less."
While the analogy wasn't perfect for simplification, it was enough to establish an idea of the difference between the four cores.
"But, how is this related to the black flames?" Lord Loki wondered.
"The stone of reality's powers can just change the structure of laws," Felix responded with a faint smile, "But, then I found out that my black flames are a medium for the seven celestial cores."
"What do you mean?"
"When I first obtained them, they had the power to devour matter and burn for eternity. These powers were bestowed by Asna's core." Felix added, "In reality, the black flames' standardized powers are just causing immense pain through burning the body and the soul."
"You are telling us that after ascending with the stone of reality like the main core, your black flames were bestowed with the powers to alter the structure of divinities and celestial flames?!" Lady Sphinx reacted in bewilderment.
"You got it."
Felix gave them a live demonstration with a gentle smile on his face. He sent the black flame to the center of the table and then ordered it to devour the crystalized table.
After it ate it entirely, the flame seemed to burn a bit more intensely...Then, Felix snapped his finger, and the black flame started disintegrating until it became a cloud of celestial energy.
Under the stunned eyes of the tenants, he separated a microscopic drop of celestial energy from the cloud and sucked in the rest back.
He gestured with his head at the almost invisible little bit of celestial energy and said, "This is your table."
"..."
"..."
"..."
It wasn't surprising that the tenants were left stunned speechless, having no idea how to react.
Celestial energy was the rarest resource in the entire universe and the only possible method of obtaining it was through the universe's heart. Not even the three rulers had different methods of harvesting it.
Yet, here they were, staring at what might be a spark of dust of celestial energy, but its significance wasn't lost on them.
"You are telling me, you can harvest celestial energy through anything?" Thor gulped a mouthful.
"Not harvest, but deconstruct." Felix replied with a serene tone, "The vision has shown us that the entire universe is born out of celestial energy...It's the foundational block of everything."
"With my current upgraded version of black flames, I can deconstruct everything and anything back to its original form, which is the celestial energy."
While his tone was calm, the topics he discussed were astounding. If the three rulers were to discover of it, they would be extremely envious.
"Just this alone is enough to give us a new stare at the battle against the three rulers." Fenrir remarked coldly, "Their strength is mostly correlated to celestial energy and since they possess a monopoly on it, no one can do anything about it."
"But it's different enough." Thor grinned, "You can return to the matter universe and farm up celestial energy until it's enough to challenge them all combined."
"Indeed, I am certain that now he is a celestial, the limitation imposed on his strength has been lifted." Jörmungandr added, "You can finally be on equal grounds against them."
The tenants kept chipping in with signs of excitement and eagerness etched on their faces, realizing that their little Landlord was finally at the peak.
The peak, where he could stand side by side with the three rulers!
"I don't want to ruin your little celebration, but you are forgetting one important detail." Lord Shiva remarked expressionlessly, "I am all for the death of those f*ckers, but now that he has become a celestial, doesn't this mean he is also banned from ever stepping into the matter universe again?"
"In fact, I don't even understand how he hasn't been kicked out of the quantum realm yet."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Everyone went silent at once, remembering at last that the celestials were forbidden by the universe from leaving the eternal kingdom!
They didn't forget what happened to Amun-Ra when he chased after Felix to his void domain...Soon, they all turned to Felix for his opinion on the matter just to find out that he didn't appear bothered by this.
"Do you understand something we don't?" One of them asked.
