Supremacy Games

When the memories returned to him, he broke free from his daze immediately and looked at Felix with a hateful expression.

"Brat, new look again?" He taunted, uncaring about his situation.

He knew that he wasn\'t leaving this place ever again no matter how much he begged. If so, he might as well vent a little of his hatred.

"I have to say, you are quite lucky." Felix walked around him with a saddened expression, "I kept your soul around for the sake of returning some of the fun you gave me and most importantly, to hand you over to your ex-wife."

This was indeed Felix\'s initial plan for Uranus. He wanted to give Commander Bia a way to punish Uranus on her own.

But alas, she didn\'t just die, she blew her soul completely, leaving no other way to rescue her but to restore time in that specific area.

"Tsk, do your worse and quit your blabber." Uranus sneered.

"Why not?"

Felix\'s gentle smile turned creepier as he leaned closer to Uranus. Then, with a snap of a finger, the nightmare began.

Uranus found himself stripped of his power while his regal attire replaced with rags. Around him, there were burly shadowy figures, their eyes filled with contempt and derision.

Uranus tried to move away, to summon his strength, but found himself powerless.

The figures closed in, their taunts growing louder, their hands grasping and pulling at him, dragging him through the dirt.

"Let me go, filthy beasts!"

He bellowed as he got forced to crawl, every inch of his progress met with cruel laughter and vicious kicks. Alas, the worst had yet to come.

To Uranus\' horror, he realized that the shadowy figures were stripping him from his clothes and nailing hin a deragotry position.

"No! No! What are you doing?! No!"

He screamed at the approaching shadowy figures, but they ignored him completely.

"Is this not what you did to Bia?" Felix\'s emotionless voice echoed through the dream. "Humiliation, degradation, utter helplessness. Feel it, Uranus. Feel every bit of the pain you inflicted."

Felix watched from the shadows, gazing at the terror in Uranus\'s eyes as he was surrounded by those shadowy figures.

This was not just physical torment; it was the complete and utter destruction of his spirit and pride as a unigin.

Felix accelerated time in his dreamrealm from one second to a billion years. Then, he snapped his finger and brought Uranus out of it, removing the cruification from him at the same time.

Uranus laid on the cold stone ocean floor, his body trembling, his eyes wide and vacant. The humiliating torment of the dream lingered, leaving him with a soulless expression.

He stared ahead without a single blink, like his mind was broken by the cruelty he had endured.

Felix and the tenants analyzed his face, satisfaction and pleasure were written all over their faces. Not a single one of them felt bad for him.

"Not so talkative now, huh?" Felix chuckled as he reached out with his finger, "You should have kept your mouth shut."

Uranus lifted his soulless eyes and stared at Felix\'s finger touch his forehead in silence...That was the last thing he saw in his life.

Immediately after contact was made, the equal trade symbol devoured Uranus\' soul and stopped the feeding process on the dark creatures.

Then, it started pulling the remnants of Eris\' soul from the core itself even though it was considered Felix\'s core now!

The fragments of Eris\'s soul started to meld together, each piece finding its rightful place. With one final blinding flash, the process was complete.

Eris\'s soul began hover before the Equal Trade symbol, her features and body were the same as before.

Before her physical form could be manifested, Felix created a similar type of clothes that she used to always wear. When Eris opened her eyes, she found herself staring into Felix\'s dark vortex-like eyes.

"It seems like my theory was correct, after all." Eris pushed her glasses calmly, "Based on your appearence and aura, you must have ascended while using the stone of reality as the main core."

"It\'s nice to meet you too." Felix chuckled, expecting such reaction from her.

"I have no time for pleasantries." Eris waved her hand carelessly, "How long was I gone for and what happened in my absence? I want to know all."

"I will tell you all about it after we revive Apollo first." Felix assured while turning his gaze to Apollo\'s core.

"Looks like you dealt with the darkside Apollo." Eris remarked, her eyes roaming the place in intrigue.

Felix nodded while making a second wish for Apollo\'s sake. This time, he didn\'t bother with the number of dark creatures being lost, knowing that even if he exhausted them all, Apollo would recreate them.

Thus, after consuming almost 90% of the army, Apollo\'s soul was finally brought to life. Unlike Eris, he made sure to put his core inside Asna\'s, which would ensure that his darkside wouldn\'t interfere.

The moment Apollo returned, his hair was half black, half white. While his expression seemed split right in the middle, one looking happy and beaming, the other like the universe owed him money.

"I am back baby!!" Apollo laughed out loud with an extended arm, seemingly embracing his new sense of freedom.

"Shut the f*ck up! That bastard has killed us both!" His darkside immediately cursed him, not liking the situation one bit.

"I disagree, I killed just you."

Felix appeared out of nowhere with a faint smile. His gaze turned to the other Apollo and went for a hug.

"On the other hand, my partner here has died for me and I would forever be grateful for it."

"My idol, hahaha! I am glad you haven\'t forgotten about me."

Apollo wiped a fake tear as he hugged Felix, uncaring about his other half resisting the hug with his entire strength.

When Felix saw this, he turned to his partner and inquired with a solemn tone, "You wish me to deal with him forever?"

"Hmmm? Is there a way to obtain rid of him, for real?" Both Apollos were startled.

It was expected, as there was no way to deal with the laws affecting their personalities. Not even Ares managed to escape from the curse of his laws.

"Of course, but it shall be a bit costly." Felix gave a trusting smile, "All you have do is allow me to possess your core. I can bestow your powers to you without ever getting bothered by your dark..."

"I am in!" Apollo agreed right away, his eyes burning with anticipation.

"..."

"..."

"..."

While the tenants were left speechless by his eagerness to hand over his core so easily and freely, the unigins understood where he was coming from.

"He was that much pain in the ass, huh?" Felix smiled wryly.

"You don\'t understand the half of it." Apollo uttered, his eyes were stern and had a tingle of hopelessness in them.

Apollo was always considered a slave to his darkside since he was the one possessing the core...This meant, he was a slave to his ownself, having almost no say in important matters.

"Are you stupid! Death is far better than this!" Apollo\'s darkside couldn\'t help but curse ferociously, "He will also have the same control over you. Additionally, he is going to fight against the three rulers. How is that better than what I was doing to you?!"

"There is a big difference." Apollo smirked as he shared a high-five with Felix, "I shall be doing it with my partner, brother, and idol...Not my worse psychopathic half."

"Say less."

Felix laughed in amusement and kicked off the process right way under the curious eyes of the tenants.

"But, Felix, how are you going do it? Will you link them again to the seven tails?" Thor inquired what was in everyone\'s minds. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

In their eyes, Felix had already filled up the seven hears quata and they doubted if even the celestial dragon tails would help out...After all, his body could hold up to seven cores at max.

"Ah, I forgot to inform you about this." Felix chuckled while answering, "I am now capable to put cores in the stone of reality\'s space and switch between the ones outside whenever I want."

"You uttered what?"
