    1609 Unable To Trust Again.


    "They were being noisy, so, I had to kick them out. As for her? I think she just misses you." Lilith responded casually while sipping wine from her ss.


    ck lines appeared on Felix''s forehead instantly at her nonchnt attitude...But, he refrained from behaving out or cursing her.


    The fact that she was able to kick his masters and tenants out implied that she had some control over his body.


    After all, having a wisp of consciousness was already enough to have any human dance at the palms of a primogenitor.


    But to have an actual soul of a unigin within you? That was an entirely different beast...At this moment, Felix wasn''t a unigin yet or possessed a spiritual pressurepared to Lilith.


    So, he had to y it cool no matter how much she pissed him off.


    He epted her invitation and sat next to her after giving Candace a short hug to calm her down.


    Then, he asked the one million dor question, "What''s your end goal from all of this?"


    "It''s nothing too different than what your girl desires...Freedom." Lilith sighed, "Unfortunately, you are the only one capable of helping me achieve my dream."


    "Help? You still think I will help you with anything after what you did to me?" Felix sneered.


    "I know you are pissed off and feel betrayed, but everything I have done was for a purpose." Lilith mentioned, "Be honest, would Asna have agreed to allow me residency inside her core? The most private and sacred part of her entire being after telling you that I can turn you into a unigin?"


    "..."


    "Forget Asna, would you have agreed to go for it without her consent if your options hadn''t been limited to merely two?" She added indifferently.


    "..."


    Felix remained silent.


    He knew that she was right. If Lilith had approached him either when he was with Asna or after her abduction, none of them would have trusted her and epted her condition.


    She was the paragon of sins, the embodiment of evil, trusting her with anything was the dumbest move to make.


    Even when Felix was desperate to enter the eternal kingdom to save Asna, if she came clean and told him about Nimo''s true identity, it would be enough to shatter any kind of goodwill from her.


    He would then totally drop any thought of bing the new paragon of sins and seek other methods...Even if it meant spending millions of years, he would not cave in and ept her deal.


    This implied that the only method for the paragon Lilith to enter Asna''s core was by putting Felix in a situation, where even his death wasn''t the worst possible oue.


    In his case, it was losing Asna''s core to the paragon of sins.


    If it was simply his death, he knew that Asna''s core would get taken by either his masters, foremother Siamese, or Lord Hades.


    But, when he realized that she was lying await, that option was shattered...


    Lilith would rather use thisplex and roundabout strategy to ensure her entry to Asna''s core than risk exposing her ns to Felix and getting rejected.


    "If you reject me, you will always raise your guard against me, and this will kill any hope I have to achieve my goal." The paragon shrugged her shoulders, "So, you can be mad about it, you can curse me for it, but I don''t feel an ounce of guilt for screwing you over like this."


    Felix raised his head and looked into the sky in silence...Many thoughts swam in his mind, yet not a single one was rted to whining about his situation.


    He understood that he simply got yed and the faster he epted it, the easier it would be for him to move on.


    If he kept hanging on this matter, he would find out that there was no one to me...Literally.


    The paragon of Sins'' n was a masterpiece, which caught even the three rulers off-guard.


    How could Felix me himself or anyone else? Even when he always knew that the paragon of sins wanted something from him, not in his wildest dreams would he have thought it would be residing in Asna''s core.


    "This is why I always liked you." The paragon smiled charmingly, "You might get emotional from time to time, but you are still rational at heart and understand that sometimes, you just lose."


    Felix didn''t feel an ounce of joy from thepliment...Understanding his situation was one thing, but not being affected emotionally by it was another.


    Who could me him? He considered Nimo as his son and there was nothing he wouldn''t do for him.


    But now? It turned out to be the paragon''s Lilith''s consciousness all along...How could he ''just'' ept this and move on?


    It was like a father having a son for the first time and after caring and loving him for more than twenty years, the motheres along and tells him that it was someone''s else son.


    Whether the father could ept his situation or not didn''t matter...That sh*t would shatter any man''s heart to pieces.


    This was exactly how Felix felt at the moment.


    "If you are hurt that your roon''s love for you wasn''t genuine, then you are mistaken." The paragon Lilith lowered her sses and said with a prative gaze, "Believe me or not, but the little retard wasn''t part of my n."


    "What do you mean?" Felix frowned.


    "I have ced my wrathful personality fused with a part of my main soul inside my core. Then, I erased its memories, powers, and intelligence, turning the soul just like it belonged to a newborn baby. I knew that when it would awaken, you would be forced to seal it in the golden earrings...This was the original n, but that little retard did this instead."


    The paragon of sins created a mirror, which showed the life of Nimo during the time of his awakening in the elementals gxy.


    While Felix was busy training his elemental maniptions and dealing with the conflicts in the''s Strauvis, Nimo was alone in the void realm.


    "Here, he has absorbed enough void energy to fulfill the price I have set for his memories, powers, and intelligence to be fully unlocked." The paragon Lilith narrated with a clear tone of annoyance, "He should have let the awakening ur as nned, but when memories started to slowly return and he realized his eventual destiny, he did this mid-awakening."


    "By the binding power of the Greed Laws," Nimo intoned, his voice resonating through the void, "I wish for my soul to be split into halves. Let one half contain my memories, powers, and intelligence, while the other remains dormant."


    "Nimo...He spoke.."


    Both Felix and Candace were left utterly stunned after hearing Nimo''s voice for the first time. It was unlike his alter ego, who always seemed mad and on the verge of a killing spree.


    As the words left his lips, a profound silence enveloped the cosmos. Then, the greed symbol responded to Nimo''s plea.


    A light, both terrifying and beautiful, enveloped him, its radiance piercing through the darkness of space.


    Argh...


    Nimo felt a sensation like no other as the very fabric of his being began to divide. It was an excruciating process, his soul tearing apart to create two distinct entities.


    One half became a vessel for his memories, powers, and intelligence. A dormant repository sealed away from the universe...The other half remained, diminished but still potent, a shadow of his full potential.


    "He did this, knowing full well that one half will always remain retarded and ignorant, behaving on pure emotion and instincts like an animal." The paragon Lilith said with a displeased tone, "I don''t know why he did it, was it to stay with you? Was it to protect you from me? Or something else, whatever it is, it happened, and I refrained from acting up after realizing that you are still capable of sealing the other awakened half as nned."


    "All in all, I have nothing to do with the other half even if it was part of my soul since his memories haven''t fully been awakened."


    The paragon Lilith said as she watched the light fade, exposing Nimo, whose eyes, turned half green and half red.


    The green half showed not an ounce of intelligence, representing Nimo''s usual happy-go-lucky attitude. While the red eye showed an unfiltered amount of rage and frustration.


    ''You bastard! How could you do this to the master!''


    ''Give me back the control, or you will regret this!''


    ''Are you listening to me?!''


    Unbothered by the curses thrown at him by his alter ego, Nimo opened a void portal near Felix and jumped out of it,nding straight on the back of his head.


    Eee!! Eeee!!!


    "You little, how many times did I tell you not to scare me like this?" Felix chuckled as he lifted Nimo and gave him one of his special belly rub attacks, leaving Nimo squealing in enjoyment.


    In that fine moment, Felix had no clue that Nimo had marked himself as a being who was willing to endure unimaginable pain and loss to protect him, his father...


    While Candace was watching this scene with tears already flooding down her cheek, Felix''s eyes seemed still a bit dead.


    "I figured as much, after what I did to you, there is no way you will believe anything I show you." Paragon Lilith shrugged carelessly, "As I said, believe it or not, I don''t really care. That little retard is gone either way."
