1772 The Clockwork Tower.

'The Indomitable will of a mountain...' Felix murmured as he floated slowly towards Demeter.

He was still petrified in stone, but he no longer needed to keep wasting his black flames on his eye after the process ended.

Understanding that Uranus and Eris must have left wisps within Demeter's mind made him prioritize getting rid of them.

When he reached Demeter's chained-up body, he gave her one last look and immediately commanded Asna's core to start the devouring process!

'Paragon! Hold it right there!' Uranus shouted telepathically with a heated tone.

To see one of his companions get devoured right before his eyes was a reflection of his own failure. It didn't sit well with him at all.

Alas, Felix had no reason to care about his emotions.

'Make me.'

Felix mocked him with a faint snicker as he watched Asna's core merge with Demeter's core. Before Uranus or Eris could say anything, the process was instantly finalized!
