The psionic energy in the room intensified to a nearly unbearable degree, the very air vibrating with raw, untamed power. The Psionic Nexus Entity, its form now solidified into something resembling a vast, shifting humanoid, towered above Ethan and Aelira. Its presence bent reality, distorting the room and twisting the very fabric of space and time.
Ethan's heart raced as the Entity's glowing, shifting form loomed before them, tendrils of psychic energy lashing out in every direction. It was an overwhelming force, its very existence a living paradox of chaos and control.

Disrupt its connection to the relay. That's our only chance. Ethan's mind raced as he processed the System's guidance.
Aelira stood firm beside him, her gaze unwavering, her daggers gleaming with purpose. "We need to disable it before it destroys everything," she said, her voice low but steady.
The Entity's eyes, vast and multi-faceted, locked onto them, and for a moment, it was as though it could see into their very souls. A crushing pressure pressed down on Ethan's chest, as though the entity's thoughts were folding around him like a vice.
Psionic Feedback Surge: 60%Warning: Immediate Mental Strain. Prepare for Extreme Stress.
Ethan gritted his teeth, fighting the rising panic. His body was already fatigued from the earlier battle with the Psionic Enforcer, but he had no choice now. Every second mattered.
System Alert: Combat Insight Engaged. Adaptive Reflex Active.Target Weakness: Psionic Link Disruption. Prioritize Core Feedback Vulnerabilities.
The Entity moved. Faster than any foe he had faced before. A tendril of psionic energy whipped toward them, and Ethan dove to the side, Echo Step carrying him just out of range.
Aelira was already on the move, launching herself toward the Entity's flank, her daggers flashing. But the psionic field around the creature twisted and recoiled, deflecting her strikes with ease.
Psionic Link Overload Imminent.Time Remaining: 45 Seconds.
"Ethan, now!" Aelira shouted, her voice cutting through the chaos.
The world seemed to slow as Ethan turned his focus inward, narrowing his thoughts to the precise point where the Entity's psionic energy converged—the nexus of its power.
He charged, Echo Step carrying him through the chaos, his blade raised, aimed for the glowing core deep within the Entity's chest.
The battle for the relay's heart was about to begin.
