章 1648: All Eyes on Him.

While Felix wanted them to feel threatened, the reactions of Apollo, Demeter, Artemis, Zeus, and the rest to his daring theft of celestial energy ranged from mockery to curiosity.

Some were directed at him and the majority were at the other two.

Apollo, ever the artist and lover of drama, chortled at the spectacle.

Leaning back on his darkness cloud, he quipped, "He sure knows how to put on a show. Stealing from Poseidon and Hephaestus together? I expected nothing less!"

Demeter shook her head. "Pitiful party tricks...He will soon run out of them and the amount of celestial energy stolen will be barely enough to last him a couple of minutes in a fight against us."

Artemis, usually more reserved and contemplative, expressed a mixture of amusement and admiration to one of her subordinates.

"He's like a cunning fox, isn't he? Always finding new ways to survive and thrive. I wonder what he plans to do with that stolen celestial energy?"
