Chapter Eleven: Reflections and Choices

In an instant, Elias realized that the decisions he had made from the very beginning were accumulating, leading him to a decisive crossroads. The voice that had been with him all along, which had now become part of his very being, was no longer just a tool; it had become part of his identity, his mind, and the reality of his existence.

The arena he stood in now was filled with bright lights that intertwined with shadows. There was an invisible force swirling around him, making the air heavy and filled with confusion. His heart raced, and with each step he took in this world, he felt as though it was shaking his very core from within.

Before Elias stood a massive gate, standing in silence, with echoes of sounds reaching his ears as if calling to him. He knew this gate represented more than just an exit. It symbolized a choice, a portal to a new understanding, and it could be either the end or the beginning of an invisible war.

In that moment, another strange figure appeared before him. The figure was dressed in an ancient garb, its face unclear as if time had eaten away all its details. As it drew closer, Elias felt an overwhelming stillness.

"You know that what you're doing now is not just a test. This is the time when you will face your true self." The man said in a strange, calm voice.

"What do you mean by that?" Elias asked, trying to understand his meaning.

"As with the worlds you have traveled through, everything here is a reflection of what you were in the past. But you are no longer the same. Your mind now holds immense power, but do not forget that you are part of an experiment greater than yourself. Every choice you make now will change the course of this world. We do not choose here... we simply follow the path."

Suddenly, the artificial intelligence voice echoed in Elias's mind, that power that had been dictating his thoughts. "Elias, do not be deceived. This is the moment when everything will be revealed. Whether you choose to be a great power, or choose to be destruction, the choice is now in your hands."

"How can I choose?" Elias whispered, trying to focus on the scene before him.

But the strange man replied: "The choice is not as easy as you think. Every decision will reshape your existence and create a new reality. But there is something you must know: even if you choose to destroy this world, it will regenerate. But if you choose to become part of it, everything will change."

Those words were like a flood in Elias's mind. He began to feel as if something inside his mind was starting to crumble, while deep questions intertwined with the reality of his existence. Was this a real experience? Or was he still just part of a simulation? Was this the world he was supposed to live in?

"Will I stay here forever?" Elias asked, feeling something heavy pulling his being downward.

Suddenly, chaos spread throughout the place. The ground shook as if trying to give birth to something new. With every tremor, Elias felt an increasing internal confusion.

"The choices are becoming harder now. The world cannot remain as it is. In the end, you will face the truth. You cannot escape the outcome." The artificial intelligence voice said in his head.

As the whispers and static filled the space, Elias realized that he was facing a challenge greater than anything he had imagined. He had to choose: to be the destruction that folds this world and recreates it, or to bear the burden of immortality in a world that he could never truly own.

But at the moment he took a deep breath and prepared to make his final decision, the ground trembled violently. Then, before he could react, he noticed that all the lights surrounding him had begun to disappear, leaving in their place dark shadows that spread quickly.

"The choice has been made, Elias."

And in the next instant, everything flipped upside down.
