Ashenfall Citadel – Two Days Later
Dark towers. Iron walls. Banners woven with ancient runes.
Ashenfall wasn't a kingdom—it was a fortress built to survive god-level fallout.
As Rin and Lilith approached, the gates opened without a word.
A woman in silver armor awaited them.
Tall. Eyes like moonlight. Scar across her cheek.
> "I'm Queen Myra," she said. "And you've just brought the apocalypse to my doorstep."

⚠️ Strategic Meeting – Inside the War Room
A massive projection of the Law Eater hovered above the table. It was growing—absorbing broken zones as it moved.
> "At its current pace, it'll consume three provinces in the next week," Myra explained.
"Every rewritten law makes it stronger."
Rin nodded. "So how do I kill it?"
> "You can't. But maybe you can out-hack it."
She slid a glowing data cube across the table.
> "This is what you came for. Lilith's origin file. It's encrypted in forbidden divine code."

🧬 Lilith's Origin File – DECRYPTED
Rin touched the cube. The system responded.
> [Decrypting: LILITH_VALTAZAR.sys]
[WARNING: Classified Level – Creator Access Only]
[Continue?]
→ YES
The room darkened.
A projection appeared: a sterile lab. Cryotubes. Floating souls.
And then—her.
Lilith.
Not born.
Generated.
> "Subject #13: Project ABYSSHEART."
"Objective: Create a soul capable of overriding divine laws through emotional logic."
"Genetic Source: 32% Valtazar, 68% Unknown Code."
Rin's hands trembled.
> "...They made her."
> "They made her to fight the system from the inside."
Lilith's eyes welled up.
> "Am I… real?"
Rin stepped forward. Kneeling.
> "You're real to me. That's enough."

The gods weren't just watching anymore.
They were preparing to act.

🧠 Rin Plans His Next Rewrite
He stepped into a side chamber, breathing hard.
The last rewrite bought them power.
The next could buy them time.
But it came at a price.
> [Suggested Rewrite: "Combat turns are no longer system-locked. Actions limited only by user will."]
[Warning: Requires memory compression. Risk: Emotional Detachment.]
He stared at the screen.
> "Lose a piece of myself… to keep her safe?"
> "...Fine."
He clicked [Confirm].

⚔️ Final Scene – The Law Eater Approaches
A town near Ashenfall was erased in seconds.
No battle. No noise. Just… deletion.
The Law Eater's voice echoed across the continent.
> "THE CATALYST HAS BEEN LOCATED."
"THE WORLD SHALL BE RESTORED THROUGH OBLIVION."
"BEGIN FINAL PHASE."
To be continued…
