Chapter 1830 Two Souls Conundrum.

1830 Two Souls Conundrum.

While Ares' soul was near its completion, Felix seemed to be running into some unexpected difficulties.

At the moment, he could be seen gazing with a hardened expression at the bottom half of his newly created soul sphere...It wasn't even a sphere yet, just an empty bottom half.

It seemed to have completely stopped its growth.

"It's been like this for over a century now." Candace wondered as she gazed at Elder Kraken, "Is this normal?"

The souls expert knitted his eyebrows in puzzlement.

"Felix's situation is unique and I genuinely don't know much about it. But, this shouldn't be normal." Elder Kraken clarified, "Once a soul's rebirth was launched, it shouldn't stop on its own."

"You mean something is interrupting it?" Felix asked.

"Maybe? I don't know." Elder Kraken shook his head, not wanting to give the wrong information.

"Can it be Asna's core as we envisioned before?" Felix frowned.

"It might be." Lady Sphinx agreed.

Felix and Asna had already discussed the possibility of her soul's rebirth interfering with his soul's rebirth before they committed to the plan.

After all, Felix and Asna were not ordinary beings; their souls were derived from celestial hearts, which were fundamental components of the universe's framework.

Knowing that he was the lost consciousness of the universe made him linked to all seven celestial hearts, including Asna's.

This deep connection suggested a possibility of the universe being thrown into confusion when both souls' rebirth occurred at the same time.

"Asna's soul is attempting to reform, but so is yours. You both draw from her core. It's... unprecedented." Lord Shiva involved himself with a stern tone, "Never before have two such closely linked souls attempted rebirth simultaneously from the same source. This is uncharted territory, even for the cosmos."

Elder Kraken rumbled thoughtfully, "It seems the heart that binds you and Asna is caught in a cosmic conundrum. It desires to give birth to both of you but at the same time, it seems confused on how to do it without merging your souls."

Felix's brow furrowed deeper as he absorbed their insights...They had already spoken about this, knowing that the universe had always chosen Felix as the new guardian of laws every time he had taken over a core without a host.

He tried to speak Asna out of this in fear of the universe choosing his soul over hers, leaving her to perish for good just like what happened to Hephaestus, Zeus, and the other victims.

But, she ignored his warnings and still wanted to give the plan a shot. In her eyes, all possibilities were favorable.

If the universe decided to recreate her soul, so be it. If it chose Felix's or merged them, she would also be fine with it.

After all, Felix could always bring her back when he dealt with the three rulers and took over his throne as the universe's consciousness.

She had already spent too much time with her soul merged with his to care about it happening again.

In other words, anything was better than remaining under the three rulers' mercy.

"Is there a way to solve this? How could we influence the universe's decision to ensure both Asna and I are reborn as intended?" Felix sought suggestions.

Felix had no interest in possessing Asna's core, even though he knew it was originally his. In his eyes, his old version was its own entity and he was his own self. Thus, he considered Asna's core as nothing but her heart.

"Hmmmm, it's going to be tricky." Lord Marduk intervened while rubbing his beard, "I believe the source of this confusion is the seven hearts' placements."

"What do you mean?" Thor asked.

"Currently, it seems like Asna's core had taken the main heart position while the stone of reality and Lilith's core had taken the side...The others were below them." Lord Marduk suggested, "What if we rearranged the stone of reality as the main heart position and Asna's core as the secondary?"

"You are implying this will remove the confusion on the universe since it considered the main heart as the foundation of the soul?" Elder Kraken raised an eyebrow in surprise, intrigued by the idea.

"Yes, would it work?"

Lord Marduk inquired for his expertise on the subject. Felix and the other tenants perked their ears awaiting Elder Kraken's answer.

"It might work."

Elder Kraken confirmed...Just as Felix and the others were about to feel elated, they realized that they had no idea how would it be possible to rearrange the hearts' positions.

"You still can't control the stone of reality and I believe another confrontation would arise if you ordered Asna's core to step over," Candace said with a worried tone.

She had no desire to witness another internal celestial battle between those two hearts, knowing that it would erase all of Felix's efforts to recover his soul. The worst part, his position might be exposed due to the disturbance.

"Hmmm, I think it's not going to end up in a conflict." Lady Sphinx mentioned, "The last time is different than this."Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

"Indeed, a conflict has occurred because you commanded Asna's core to command the stone of reality." Fenrir agreed with an expressionless tone, "In this case, all you are doing is requesting Asna's core to step down. It has nothing to do with the stone of reality."

"That makes sense, but it is still a valid risk." Felix nodded with a serious expression, "What if Asna's core took it as an insult? Clearly, it has its own emotions and instincts."

"Doubtful." Lady Sphinx shook her head, "If you are asking it to step down below other cores, maybe it might react, but all you are asking it to do is return to its natural position. The main heart's position is supposed to be for the universe's heart and has nothing to do with the stone of reality."

The tenants nodded in agreement, being aware that if Asna's core had only its instincts, it ought not think that far ahead and create problems. The moment he commanded it to take its rightful place, it would do so without questions asked.

"How about the stone of reality?" Candace wondered, "Are you sure it will take on the main heart's position on its own?"

"On its own?" Felix shook his head, "There is no such a thing. I am certain that the universe is the one arranging my seven hearts in this manner. When the main heart's position becomes vacant, I am certain the universe will intervene and push for the stone of reality to fill it up."

"I understand." Candace nodded as she watched Felix kicking off the process right away, having no interest in delaying it any further.

His soul's rebirth had been halted for a century now and the fact that Commander Bia still hadn't returned to pick him up kept playing with his mind.

"Step down,"

Felix's voice echoed in Asna's core, a direct order but carrying a hint of care in it. Asna's core quivered slightly, acknowledging the weight of his words. "Take the position left by Lilith's core."

Without an ounce of hesitation,Asna's core began to descend gracefully, moving toward the lower tier of the internal celestial arrangement.

Meanwhile, the space left vacant by this movement didn't remain empty for long. As Felix expected, The Stone of Reality was propelled by unseen forces to take up the central position.

Meanwhile, Liltih's core took its position, concluding the arrangement.

As the Stone of Reality settled into its new role, the other celestial cores adjusted their orbits slightly, aligning themselves with the new center, and stabilizing under the stone's authoritative influence.

The transition had been smooth, the universe swiftly accommodating his will without hesitation or conflict.

Felix and the rest sighed in relief, but they knew that their problem was far from solved.

'Did it work?'

All of them gazed at the bottom half of the soul barrier without a single blink, afraid they would miss any movement.

After a mere moment, the soul barrier's color swiftly changed from pure white to creamy white. Yet, the most drastic change was the shape of the soul!

"Am I tripping or the sphere is somehow deforming?" Thor murmured with a startled tone as he eyed the soul barrier changing its shape from half a perfect sphere into a rounded bottom of a pebble...It was still spherical, but just not perfectly round like a ball.

"It must be because of the stone of reality's original shape resembling a stone, which affected my soul too." Felix smiled wryly, "I do not know what this means, but at least my soul has restarted its recovery."

"Better yet, it looks like Asna's core has finally kicked off its rebirth process." Lady Sphinx added after picking up on the new changes occurring within Asna's core.

"It looks like this problem was the one holding it back." Thor smiled.

Since none of them had a clue about how Asna's soul rebirth was going to occur or when it would happen, all they could do was be patient and wait.

However after an entire century of nothingness from both souls, they realized that they needed to be proactive. Fortunately, the solution wasn't that difficult and everything went smoothly.

Alas, in Felix's universe, there was no such thing as a smooth experience...

The moment Asna's soul began the rebirth process, two seductive feminine voices repeated the same sentence in their minds.

'It's time at last...'

Lilith's and Medusa's eyes gleamed from two different locations, their intentions were as secretive as they could be, but it didn't take a genius to presume their nature to be evil...
