1607 The Three Rulers' Reaction.
Her assumption wasn't far off from the truth as the three rulers had been spectating the entire battle from the start to its end...
Right now, the three celestial rulers sat on their respective platforms in the grand assembly hall of the cosmos, a place where the very fabric of reality seemed to bow and weave at the will of its occupants.
None of them seemed to have the will to speak, leaving a heavy, profound stillness that seemed to resonate with the gravity of the moment. n-/0velb1n
The three rulers, beings of incomprehensible power and wisdom, sat motionless, their gazes fixed on a large, ethereal mirror that floated before them.
The mirror's surface rippled with images.
They witnessed the relentless assault, the transformation of Nimo's alter ego, the intervention of the Paragon of Sins, and the dramatic conclusion with the merging of the cores.
As the final scene played out, the mirror showed Felix, now transformed, his body radiating with the absorbed energy and marked with the symbols of the sins.
The Paragon of Sins in Nimo's form gently picked up Felix's transformed form and began to descend into the depths of the void realm.
As she disappeared with Felix into the darkness, the mirror's surface gradually cleared, returning to its natural, reflective state.
The silence in the assembly hall lingered for a moment longer, a silent acknowledgment of the significance of what they had just witnessed.
Then, one of the rulers finally broke the silence, his voice resonating with a mixture of anger and frustration.
"I knew she was up to no good, but I never thought her end goal was this..."
"Sigh, this just complicated our plans..."
"With Lilith's core devoured, and her main soul residing inside Asna's core, the universe will see it as there is no paragon of sins in existence and will most definitely ascend the boy to the new position."
The three rulers understood this subject more than anyone in existence.
No one figured out how the universe operated better than them, and in this exact scenario, they knew that Felix would become the new paragon of sins the instant he broke through to the origin realm.
If they were able to afford to waste celestial energy, they wouldn't have bothered to use the paragon Lilith to retrieve the core no matter how much she tried to bait them.
They might have opened the gate and sent another unigin in the upper celestial echelons to finish the job.
Unfortunately, both the opening of the gate and the unigin descending required a significant amount of energy to sustain his power level.
Lord Hades and the paragon Lilith never had issues with sustaining themselves because they own entire realms mirroring the cosmos itself.
So, while they didn't have access to celestial energy, the quantity of elemental energy in their realm was more than enough.
But the same didn't apply to the rest of the unigins.
Not every unigin had a realm under their name to guard and feed them constantly in the universe, which made them forced to create their own in the eternal kingdom.
So, if they descended to the universe, their link to celestial energy/
elemental energy from their territories in the eternal kingdom might be cut off and they wouldn't have any similar quality of energy down here to offset it.
While this might cause their strength to weaken significantly, returning to its 'normal' base, any of them was still powerful enough to finish off Felix with a mere glance.
Luckily for him, the price to do this was too much for the three rulers at that moment, forcing them to bet their chances on the paragon.
"What's done is done, we lost the battle, but not the war." The first ruler uttered calmly, "Lilith has bound herself with the boy and she knows that if she wants her freedom, she has to come all the way here with him."
In other words, the core was going to be brought to them on a silver plate even if they didn't do anything.
After all, both Asna and the universe's heart were in this pocket dimension, which was considered the most secure area in the entire eternal kingdom.
Just to reach this place was a challenge on its own as even unigins don't have access to it! Only the ones in the upper celestial echelon could enter this place for a limited period.
"So, you are saying we do nothing?"
"Doing nothing is doing something." The first ruler said composedly, "Let them come to us and by then, we will have collected enough celestial energy and possess both Asna's and Lilith's cores to give our plan a second chance..."
"I do you one better." The second ruler displayed a faint smile, "We should place a bounty on Asna's core the second the boy steps into the eternal kingdom...The reward is a direct promotion to the upper celestial echelons."
"Uhmm, that's indeed much better." The first ruler approved, "Whether they brought us the core earlier or not, we will be losing nothing."
