By the time Lucas resolved the company’s affairs and came looking for me, I was already gone. I had quit my teaching job, left the city, and erased all traces of myself from his world. All I left behind was a single message: [The dead do not return.] Lucas understood. He sat before the abandoned house where we had once lived, crying in despair. Later, I learned he liquidated his empire, declared bankruptcy, and emptied his accounts into mine.

I asked hazily, "I thought I had to get married to pass this dungeon…" "Yeah. You have to marry the Sea God." Cyrus' lips kept trailing south the whole time. I could vaguely see a red tuxedo materializing on his upper body. That was when I suddenly recalled the Sea God's statue in the chapel. It had countless tentacles forming its lower body. Did that mean Cyrus was the Sea God? My boyfriend wasn't just an NPC in the survival game—he was also the final boss? As soon as that thought popped into my mind, I felt myself getting enveloped by the water and the tentacles. I could also hear Cyrus' enchanting voice.

Jack had seen pieces of it before in Source visions and Genesis Protocol fragments, but never like this. It was not a wall of stone, code, or light. It was made of endings. Millions of them. Billions. Stories folded into barriers. Sacrifices. Lost chances. Abandoned futures. Witnesses converted into collateral. Pain misfiled as structure. Mercy charged interest until it became brick. And beyond it, pressing gently, patiently, infinitely, was hunger. The World Eater did not roar. It did not need to. Its silence was appetite without urgency.

Following your surrender, Zaden will end up controlling Endlos in the future. Meanwhile, the Deputy Leader of the Extraterrestrial Demons will return to the Dark World. Endlos will have temporary peace. “The timing isn’t right because your ability hasn’t reached its peak. Surrendering means choosing to live on. After giving up, you can go into hiding and cultivate. Once your cultivation base reaches its peak, everything will come easy to you.

The sanctuary grew still. The floating memories above them flickered. Ancient worlds appeared. Worlds they had already seen. Worlds that had fallen. Worlds consumed by darkness. Worlds erased. Then more appeared. Hundreds. Thousands. Millions. The images stretched endlessly. A vast graveyard of forgotten civilizations. The scale was horrifying. Orion pointed toward them. "The End doesn't destroy worlds immediately." The memories shifted. Showing civilizations thriving. Growing. Prospering. Then changing. Slowly. Subtly.

“We guide it.” Sylra frowned. “Guide a god?” “Guide the merge,” I corrected. “Before it consumes everything.” Edward’s eyes met mine. “And if we fail?” I exhaled, the wind carrying the faint echo of divine whispers through the air. “Then the world won’t end, Edward.
