Chapter 1916 Brahma's Unstoppable Spiritual Pressure!
Chapter 1916 Brahma's Unstoppable Spiritual Pressure!
The moment the thought registered in his mind, a crushing wave of spiritual pressure slammed into the lockdown with the force to shatter galaxies condensed into a single unbearable attack!
Asna's eyes widened as the intensity of the spiritual weight pressed down on her like an excruciating storm!
"This… this can't be real…" She whispered with a hint of dread as she shielded herself with her spiritual pressure to stay on both feet.
The destructive wave of spiritual pressure was so intense, both of them could feel its overwhelming presence trying to cripple them!
This was happening while they were still under the protection of the lockdown!
"Such immense power..." Eris murmured with a dazed look, "For their spiritual pressure to combine and surpass even Asna's, the fused celestial hearts must have given birth to the closest entity to the universe's consciousness."
"They may not have received the same information as us about the universe's consciousness, but they weren't stupid to not figure out some of it." Apollo frowned, "They must have realized that their hearts can be combined due to their great similarities. Since those hearts belonged to the same entity, merging them is the same as giving birth to a weakened version of the universe's consciousness."
"It looks like they haven't gotten control over the universe's authority, but their spiritual pressure was affected greatly."
Eris concurred solemnly as she watched Felix and Asna combine their spiritual pressure to strengthen the lockdown.
Alas, the pressure bore down harder, causing long cracks in Felix's lockdown to deepen, splitting wide as the barrier struggled to hold together!
"Felix!" Asna called out with a tint of urgency. "We can't hold this!"
"I know."
Felix's jaw clenched, his eyes locked on the sacred Brahma.
He could feel it too, the lockdown was on the verge of shattering completely as the power radiating from Brahma was unlike anything he had ever faced.
As he kept feeling Brahma's spiritual pressure intensifying rapidly to the point his knees started making creaking noises, he was finally hit with a realization that chilled him to the core...They couldn't win this battle. Not now. Not against Brahma's sheer might.
"Asna," Felix muttered through gritted teeth, his eyes locking with hers. "We have to get out of here. Now."
"You don't have to tell me twice." Asna concurred with a solemn tone.
Even without the rulers telling them about the form's weakness being temporary, they would have easily figured it out on their own.
After all, if this form didn't require such a heavy investment and could remain permanently, the three rulers would have started their battle with it. Thus, the best option was to retreat and hide until their Brahma form expired.
Unfortunately, if they realized as much, then it meant that the three rulers had already prepared countermeasures against it.
"None of you are going anywhere."
Brahma uttered coldly as they opened up a portal underneath the cracked lockdown and pushed it through with their intense spiritual pressure!
As Felix and Asna gazed underneath, they realized that they had been sent to the dimensional pocket of the universe's heart!
In fact, it was sitting right behind them, still releasing celestial energy in a misty form.
Yet, neither of them bothered to waste their time on it as they realized that their teleportation abilities and such were inactive!
"It's the seal! It's the best seal known in the universe as it is impossible to break it apart without the three rulers' approval!"
Asna disclosed with a distressed tone while gazing at the flaring seals on the dimension's surface.
As someone who spent most of her life sealed, either in the imprisonment grounds or the dimensional pocket, she was quite familiar with their grades.
If the seal locking the void realm was considered grade one while the Sealing Hall was a grade five, then, the one used here was a solid four!
Felix knew all of this beforehand, leaving his expression to turn quite ugly at the realization that the three rulers were forcing their hands to fight until the end.
"This isn't looking good for them." Athena narrowed her eyes at their unenviable situation, "It's impossible to break the seal in a short period even if he used those peculiar reality-altering powers."
"I doubt they can even hold out for a few seconds at most." Aeolus nodded, his stern voice reflecting the gravity of Felix and Asna's dilemma.
"If the three rulers' spiritual pressure was to ever fall on them, this might be the end..." Artemis sighed softly.
Felix and Asna knew this all too well, leaving them eying each other with sober looks as they weighed their options telepathically.
'I can use the stone of reality's powers to separate them forcefully, but I don't know how long it will take or the price required.' Felix shared.
'It's too risky.' Asna rejected it, 'Any modifications used on the three rulers cost significantly more resources than doing it on your own. I would rather have you invest all your celestial energy in yourself.'
'I think so too.' Felix concurred in agreement.
He knew that if he attempted to weaken the three rulers' spiritual pressure or separate them, he might not be able to afford the cost even if he paid everything he owned.
Fortunately, the Sun of Ra had helped him pull off his main plan without investing much of his own celestial energy.
This meant, he still possessed quite a decent amount in his reserve.
"Where is your gusto and bravado from earlier?" Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Brahma taunted with the same metallic-like voice, but Felix immediately recognized that it was Medusa speaking.
Her bloodied expression from before was nowhere to be seen, replaced by a murderous sinister look.
Crack! Crack!...
As Felix saw the lockdown barely holding on to its dear life, he ignored Medusa's ridicule and got into work, his fingers flying across the wall of logic!
Since he was focusing primarily on himself, he instantly finished the modification and began pouring all of his celestial energy into the small dark hole on the surface of the fabric of logic.
As it devoured celestial energy like a hungry hippo, Felix could feel his spiritual pressure increasing at a rapid pace.
Shatter!!
Alas, the lockdown finally gave out...
'BRACE FOR IMPACT!' Felix bellowed as he stood in front of Asna.
After a thunderous explosion of particles, Felix and Asna steeled their guts and channeled everything in their power to summon their strongest burst of divine spiritual pressure!
This resulted in the birth of two visible waves of destruction, one black, and the other white. They merged together as they headed to take on Brahma's spiritual pressure directly!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
With a deafening roar, the two spiritual waves collided in the center of the pocket dimension, creating a catastrophic impact!
Time seemed to halt for a moment as the beams clashed, their energies grinding against each other in a struggle for dominance.
Then, with an explosion that defied comprehension, the collision unleashed an astronomical shockwave that erupted outward, obliterating everything in its path!
Entire landscapes were erased in an instant as the raw spiritual pressure tore through the fabric of reality, leaving the strongest dimension in the universe to tremble on the brink of collapse!
Space twisted, matter disintegrated, and the ground beneath them vanished into nothingness.
All was swallowed by the storm of energy, turning the dimension into a piece of void. Yet, the universe's heart remained untouched.
The core of existence kept pulsing with an otherworldly light, serene and immovable as if mocking them.
Yet, no one seemed to pay it any attention as everyone's eyes were affixed on the point of contact between the spiritual waves.
When they saw that Felix's and Asna's beams were being pushed back gradually, the viewers were left with mixed emotions.
Lord Hades and the other unigins had bitter smiles, the tenants shared solemn looks with hints of despair in them, while Kronos merely had a knowing smile.
As he gazed at Felix's hardened eyes from a distance, he seemed to be looking into his consciousness space...Or to be more precisely, at one of the tenants.
'Loki, I think it's time you show the Joker card.' He thought to himself.
As he was believing this, a single thought was coursing through Lord Loki's mind as he watched Felix and Asna getting pushed to a dead end.
They were struggling heavily and he knew that it wouldn't be long before their spiritual pressure gave in.
'Oh, how I wished we won without needing me to use it...' Lord Loki showed a bitter hopeless smile, 'I guess I was really asking for a lot.'
'Queen Ai.'
'Yes, master.' Queen Ai responded instantly.
Lord Loki seized a deep breath and ordered with a deadpan look, 'It's time my love...Activate The Ascension Protocol.'
