The Monarch-Chapter 519: Felix[2]

"Your soul, it shines in this place with no living beings," Kayden responded after analyzing the cat for a few seconds. He was happy it had grown, but it still wasn’t a worthy opponent for him.

"I thought it would be a surprise. What are you doing here? Where have you been for these billions of years?" Felix lazily lay down and stretched his entire body in a small spot where sunlight fell.

Kayden thought for a moment, then analyzed Felix’s soul. The cat had grown a lot, but its personality and soul hadn’t suffered many blows. It was practically the same, and besides, its questions were sincere with no trace of deceit.

"I kind of became famous in the universe. How have you not heard of me?" Kayden asked the cat.

"Really? I haven’t left the void in a few dozen million years. I’ve been studying my path and my laws. I also made a name for myself in the void. How have you never heard of me?" This time, it was the cat’s turn to ask.

"I haven’t been to the void in billions of years," Kayden answered honestly.

"How strong have you gotten? I can only feel your realm. You shouldn’t be that strong," Felix asked directly, without any fuss.

"I’ve reached ten rays in the seventh realm, Felix," Kayden smiled and released all his aura. For over 100 million kilometers, it felt like everything had stopped. The pressure was so immense on space itself that time passed a little slower. Felix could only look at Kayden in terror, not knowing what to say.

He hadn’t been able to feel Kayden’s aura until that moment, but as soon as Kayden released it, everything changed. It was as if he were standing before a true god. The pressure was intensely high, there were no gaps, no weak points—it was as if Kayden were a mountain billions of kilometers high, and he was just a first-realm mage.

Felix had grown a lot. He was easily one of the strongest mages in the entire universe at that moment. His laws, combined with his path, should have placed him at the absolute top. But before Kayden, he was nothing more than a child without any strength. In the blink of an eye, the pressure disappeared.

"And you? How strong have you gotten?" Kayden asked the cat and received a response far beyond what he expected.

"I’m a ninth-realm mage with a path integrated into five incomplete laws. I’m trying to integrate five more laws to become a god. I’ve already started gaining recognition from most mortals with my fame. I’m becoming a living legend," Felix responded to Kayden while puffing out his chest proudly.

"What’s your fame?" Kayden still didn’t fully understand that part of Felix’s words.

"I’m known as the World Devourer. That’s what I’m going to do with this one in a few months. My path grows in strength, and at the same time, I gain fame by leaving some mages alive," Kayden looked at Felix in astonishment.

Being able to devour an entire world was completely insane. Furthermore, Felix’s soul was in its raw and primitive state. Kayden couldn’t see how the cat had reached this level of strength without refining his soul. It was probably due to his effort and resources—there was no other plausible explanation.

The two exchanged more hours of conversation. They had a lot to settle between them and, at the same time, plenty of free time. Just as Kayden had years of craziness to reach where he was, Felix also had his share of unique moments—opportunities he seized with all his might.

"How about I help you travel through the void, and you help me clean my soul?" Felix was able to move much faster in this universe than Kayden because he had many laws supporting his path, making it possible. He didn’t have as great a sense of direction as Kayden, but he could leap billions of kilometers in a single spatial jump.

Kayden accepted the cat’s proposal, and after just a few minutes, he had already completed the first soul-cleansing session on Felix. The cat’s strength grew directly, and on top of that, he felt much lighter. It was something completely insane that he never could have imagined in all his wildest dreams.

"Finish off this world, and we’ll move on to the next," Kayden no longer saw any reason to stay here. Since he had released his aura, he had already decided not to remain. Felix just nodded and began to levitate into the sky, with Kayden following him.

The beast began to open its mouth, and it grew to several dozen meters. Where its throat should have been, there was only a huge black hole without any form, with an insane suction force. Kayden began to feel the entire planet being pulled toward it directly. The planet’s orbit froze as entire mountains were devoured.

In just a few seconds, thousands of kilometers had been consumed, and it didn’t look like it would stop anytime soon. Anything that entered Felix’s mouth would never see the light of day again, whether people or raw materials. Kayden saw millions of people die without even understanding what was happening, while the ninth-realm mage was fleeing the planet in some spacecraft with other people.

Kayden understood how the cat’s fame had grown. He usually accelerated at the beginning, then gave some time for important people on the planet to escape. The rest wouldn’t be so lucky and would be killed as they entered the black hole. There was no mercy; this was simply the law of the strongest being carried out.

The entire process took about two hours to complete, but Kayden believed all of this could have been done in just a few minutes, as Felix gave a lot of time to absorb information and learning. On top of that, he gave even more time for the mages to run for their lives in their mediocrity.

In the end, only Kayden remained, floating in space with Felix. An entire planet had disappeared without any difficulty. Where there had once been a civilization, now there was absolutely nothing left but… nothing. Not even dust remained in Felix’s wake.
