Chapter 539 Existential Confrontation – You Were Never Needed
Deus Ex Machina has collapsed.
Not because of strength. Not because of destruction.
But because it finally realized that it did not understand itself. In the suffocating uncertainty, waves of despair spread like poison, gnawing at every belief that had once helped it stand. In the dimness of its mind, shadows of the past swirl, challenging every decision it had ever made with a voice full of doubt.

Not a machine.
