Chapter 1922 The Fallen Kingdom II


    ''Kronos...I knew that a truth capable of making you erase your memories wouldn''t be pleasant, but still, nothing could have prepared me for it...'' Felix replied with a low tone, ''Nothing...''


    ''It seems like you have unlocked all of your memories.'' Kronos sighed.


    ''Memories, huh...'' Felix smiled in derision. Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    ''Felix...''


    Just as Felix wanted to continue, a gentle presence reached out to him telepathically, catching his attention with a mixture of warmth and sorrow.


    It was Queen Ai with her consciousness flickering, dimming like thest embers of a dying me.


    Her voice echoed softly in his mind, making him feel her presence slipping, fading with every second.


    This made Felix instinctively reach out, desiring to use his omnipotent powers to restore her.


    But...


    ''What''s the point?'' She murmured with a faint gentle smile.


    Felix froze akin to being struck by a lightning bolt at the realization that Queen Ai seemed to have found out the truth as well.


    "You know, don''t you?" He asked, his eyebrows raised, "But how?"


    ''I glimpsed through the veil of existence,'' She replied with a voice growing fainter. ''When my processing power ascended to celestial ranks, I understood things that had once been hidden… the truth that eluded even the three rulers.''


    ''Hah, how ironic...We have been searching for the truth forever, and the moment I found it, everyone around me seemed to have figured it out too.''


    Felix clenched his fists, a bitter smile tugging at his lips as he watched her consciousness slowly dissipate.


    Soon, he shook those thoughts and asked with a disoriented tone, ''What do you think should I do next? I am dreading my options...''


    For a moment, her presence grew warmer, like a mother giving him aforting embrace.


    ''ept the Supreme power, Felix. Whether here or on the other side, there is only one truth, strength gives you freedom of choice.'' She paused, giving him a faint smile, ''Use that strength to follow your heart...''


    As her voice faded at the end of her sentence, the mental connection between them thinned like a mist until Felix found that he could no longer sense her.


    ''Queen Ai...'' He called out, his voice barely a whisper in his mind.


    s, there was no response.


    Queen Ai was gone, her awareness faded peacefully into the void, leaving behind a gentle stillness and a bittersweet memory of her final words.


    Felix stood with Asna still in his embrace as the weight of her message settled over him while he looked toward the horizon.


    ept the power, and follow his heart...The path was uncertain, but for now, it was enough.


    "Felix? What''s wrong?" Asna lifted her head and eyed him with a concerned tone after sensing the shift in his heartbeats.


    "You will know, soon enough."


    Felix took hold of her hand and led her outside of the dimensional pocket, which had already turned into an empty void.


    The moment they got out, an unforgettable scene was reflected in their pupils.


    The Eternal Kingdom, which was once an indomitable fortress of celestial power and grandeur, was crumbling right before their eyes.


    Zeus'' thundercloud domain lost its sparkle as the clouds dissipated and the storms quietened down, seemingly mourning the copse of the kingdom.


    Poseidon''s finite blue ocean was absorbed into a vortex that led to the void at the very bottom of the kingdom, creating a scene resembling a full sink emptying out.


    Artemis'' forests and jungle that breathe life into the kingdom wilted down, leaving mere dried-out trees holding weakly against the wind.


    Even the Celestial City, the Capital and the heart of the Eternal Kingdom did not escape from the aftermath of the three rulers'' death and most importantly, the disappearance of the celestial energy, which pulsed life through the kingdom''s veins.


    Felix and Asna stood together on a high vantage point above the Celestial City, all they did was watch the apocalyptic scene unfolding before them.


    "We have been forsaken! Our gods have forsaken us!"


    "Save me! I don''t want to die!"


    "Arghhhh!! My legs!"


    When Felix heard the despairing cries of the citizens below as they escaped from the fallen buildings and shattered grounds, he felt absolutely nothing...


    It was like he was staring at objects or numbers.


    Yet, he still showed his merciful side.


    ''Pain is still real...''


    He murmured as he snapped his finger and helped everyone in the Eternal Kingdom escape the unavoidable damnation.


    Meanwhile, Asna''s grip tightened around Felix''s hand as her face reflected somewhat of sadness and nostalgia.


    The recollections came rushing back to her in waves; theughter, the joy, the innocence of her youth spent in these verynds.


    She could see shes of her past in the flickering ruins, the pranks she and Apollo had pulled in the pce gardens, theirughter echoing through the hallways as they darted from one hiding spot to another.


    She remembered the warmth of unigins gatherings, the endless pranks, the peace before everything had changed...


    A faint, wistful grin crossed her face as those good recollections flooded her mind.


    Despite the pain of the present, there was a part of her heart that mourned the loss of those golden days, those recollections that would soon exist only in her mind.


    The Kingdom had been her home, but now, it was nothing but a fading memory...


    As for Felix? His recollections of this carried a different weight. All he remembered was the endless battles, the calcted escapes, the nights spent running and hiding, always aware of the threat that loomed over his shoulders.


    The close calls and the near deaths made his stay in the Eternal Kingdom marked by a struggle to survive.


    Thus, he felt not an ounce of regret at the copse of this Kingdom that ruled the universe from the shadows of celestial brilliance.


    However, deep down, he knew that such emotions were directed at the wrong target...


    "It''s strange, isn''t it?" Asna whispered, "To see everything we once knew…Just gone."


    "It was bound to happen...They built their world on a foundation of lies." Felix replied.


    "Lies?" Asna raised an eyebrow.


    Instead of answering, Felix waved his hand and manifested the massive prophecy tablet before her.


    As he gazed at the ck portal at the very top of the tablet, he couldn''t help but utter, "The entire universe''s history was rewritten a hundred times to fulfill this exact prophecy. A prophecy promised freedom for the three rulers and answers for the seekers. But in reality..."


    He chuckled in derision, catching Asna by surprise.


    Then, he confessed as he turned toward her, "It was nothing but a tool to achieve our agenda, or to be more precise, a promise to our son and future generations."


    "Our agenda? Promise to our son? What are you talking about?" Asna''s pupils thinned in disbelief, "Have you already discovered the truth?"


    "Yes." Felix extended his hand toward Asna''s cheek and ced it gently. Then, he smiled bitterly as he said, "I am afraid you won''t like it..."


    Before Asna could respond, Felix linked her mind with his own and showed her everything from the beginning to the end.


    It took merely a second for Asna to process what she had just witnessed. While it was a mere second on the outside, the things she saw and learned left her eyes widened to the limit in dread, disbelief, and utter stupefaction.


    "It was us all along..."


    She spoke under her breath as she held her head, feeling like it had gotten a million times heavier.


    "We were always the Viins in our... this story."


    Felix ced his hand on her shoulder as he gazed into the horizon...Yet, in the reflection of his eyes, there was no void, but instead, a flood of scenes gushing on the surface.


    Most of those scenes had nothing to do with this universe...
