1605 Choosing The Lesser Evil.

The barrier, once a luminous and robust shield enveloping Felix's soul, was now riddled with fissures and spiderweb cracks.

Each line that marred its surface was a testament to the brutal and relentless assault it had endured.

The light that it radiated was flickering and dimming, a stark indication of its weakening state.

Lady Sphinx and the others had witnessed the barrier being tested and strained before, but it had always held firm, a reliable bastion.

But now, as they watched the cracks spread and deepen, they understood the chilling reality: if the barrier collapsed, it would signify the end of Felix.

His soul, the very core of his being, would be erased by Nimo's alter ego, leaving nothing behind but a void...

A heavy silence hung over the tenants as they stood powerless to intervene. The weight of impending loss bore down upon them, each crack in the barrier a cruel countdown to an outcome they were desperate to prevent.

They exchanged somber looks, their faces etched with grief and a profound sense of helplessness.

Words were unnecessary; their expressions spoke volumes about the deep bond they shared with Felix and the pain of watching him approach the brink of annihilation.

While everyone was gloomy and seemed to have accepted Felix's fate, The paragon Lilith reached out to her popcorn bucket and found nothing in it.

'Ayy, I'm out of popcorn at the finale...Still, it was indeed a fun watch.' She said while stretching her arms behind her back like a lazy cat waking up from a nap.

Then, she looked at everyone's depressed looks and chuckled, 'I guess it's time to put an end to the show. He should be ready now.'

With a single thought, the paragon Lilith had invaded the expanse of Felix's subconsciousness, a realm where thoughts and memories drift like phantoms in the dark.

Felix, whose consciousness teetered on the edge of an everlasting slumber, lay adrift in the sea of his mind.
