Chapter 540 Fitran countered with the Sword of Voidlight
After an existential confrontation that echoed without reverberation, and after the words "You were never needed" were given space instead of being rejected, the world began to calm.
However... the system was not truly dead.
Within the remnants of the shattered Deus, one unexpected final function was hidden:
Residual Directive Code Name: Null Crown Function: To erase those who survive after the system ends.
Not out of hatred. But because of simple logic:
"If someone remains alive after the system dies, then they are an anomaly of an anomaly."
Fitran felt a strange vibration within him, as if every word that flowed from that floating crown touched the deepest parts of his soul. In that painful peace, a sense of anxiety swirled in his mind—was he truly an anomaly, or merely the waste of a bygone era?
The bodiless entity was merely a floating crown, made of inactive gears and symbols of the Void that continuously transformed. Its face may not have been visible, but the Null Crown could see beyond mere physicality—absorbing all doubts and fears that gnawed at human essence.
As it observed Fitran, silent sorrow filled the space between them, creating a burdensome atmosphere. A symphony of despair was depicted in the gentle movements of the spinning gears, as if dancing in an unmatched conflict between creeping hope and the certainty that all that exists must come to an end. In helplessness, Fitran felt an irresistible pull, bitterly realizing how he was dragged into a game that had no path to victory.
Faceless. Silent.
It only watched and absorbed existence.
