"You look distressed, Apollo. Is there something in your mind?" Eris asked with a peering look.

"Not now, Eris." Apollo replied with an irritated tone while turning himself into a flash of light.

Before he could finish the transformation, Eris advised calmly, "I hope you don't do anything you will come to regret later on."

"..." Apollo merely gave her a hopeless glance before disappearing into nothingness.

'Ah, little paragon, you sure have disturbed a peace that lasted for eons. All of this, and you will still not be able to save her as much as I want you to succeed.' Eris murmured to herself as she watched the black flames getting snuffed out bit by bit.

Meanwhile, at the summit of the palace...

"Your lover doesn't know any better." The first ruler shook his head as he addressed the tensed Asna, "I offered him an olive branch, a promise, and he spat on it."

"A promise? Like the one you offered me when I was a child?" Asna replied with a look boiling with hatred, "You monsters deserve to be locked up for eternity."

She watched what happened to Felix's clone and while it made her heart unsettled, it also made her love Felix even more as he dared to do something she never dared to do.

That was standing up against the three rulers' tyranny even when their overwhelming authority and strength were enough to cripple anyone.

"We did what we had to do and you know it." The third ruler said calmly.

"Keep saying that to make yourself feel better." Asna sneered as the buried memories of her childhood resurfaced in her mind.

She would never forget the treatment and the betrayal she received when she was a child as it made her lose complete trust in the rulers and other unigins.

No one could blame her...

Twenty million years ago, the Eternal Kingdom seemed like a realm of unparalleled splendor and abundance, a stark contrast to its present state.

At the heart of this celestial magnificence was the dimensional pocket, the sacred and secluded space that housed the universe's heart.

This heart, a cosmic entity of unfathomable power and mystery, pulsed with the lifeblood of creation itself—celestial energy.
