1606 A Laugh, Bitter and Tinged With Despair...

In the vast, oppressive darkness of the void, where Felix and Nimo's alter ego remained locked in their merging process, a sudden, subtle shift occurred the moment Felix gave his confirmation.

From the background of the void, a pair of eyes opened — not just any eyes, but those of the Paragon Lilith.

They resembled two vast, shimmering pink galaxies, swirling with an otherworldly light that pierced through the encompassing darkness.

She seemed near, yet far, a close resemblance to her relationship with this situation...

The Paragon Lilith blinked once and in that brief moment of closing and reopening, her eyes vanished, leaving behind nothing but the void's impenetrable darkness.

But her disappearance was not without effect.

Almost immediately, Felix's body reacted...An ethereal presence, the soul of the Paragon Lilith had invaded him.
