Within the Cracked Tower of Babel
The air vibrated with divine static.
The tower was falling—each step a collapsing timeline.
Past, present, and rewritten futures all folding into one spiral.
At the center, floating in a cradle of failed laws—
The Final Core.
> [Object: ROOT_CORE_FINAL – Anchor of the Original System Thread]
[Warning: Access will collapse system authority permanently.]
Rin stood before it.
Lilith, weakened, reached for him.
> "If you touch it… everything we've rewritten stays."
> "But the world as they know it dies."
> "Are you ready for that?"
Rin closed his eyes.
> "I was ready the day they tried to erase you."

⚫ Cain's Past – The First Rootborn
Cain staggered to his knees, clutching his bleeding shoulder.
> Blood. He hadn't bled in centuries.
A vision flashed.
A quiet world.
A girl with silver hair.
A system that promised to "fix" everything.
And when he asked to bring her back…
The system answered:
> "Remove your emotions. You'll never feel loss again."
Cain complied.
> "I didn't rewrite to live," he whispered.
"I rewrote to forget."

⚠️ Lilith Begins the Merge
> [System Alert: Catalyst Core Detected in Subject: LILITH]
[Root Thread Reacting…]
[Merge Pending: Sync Ratio 94%]
Lilith's body floated toward the Final Core, light threading between her fingers and the orb.
Rin turned.
> "What are you doing?!"
She smiled—eyes full of tears.
> "If I become part of the Root… they can't erase me again."
> "I'll be the reason this world stays rewritten."

⚔️ Cain's Final Words
Cain rose, wounded but calm.
> "You've already won. Not because you're stronger…"
> "But because you remembered what I begged to forget."
He turned toward the unraveling timelines.
> "Don't let her become code. Let her stay real."
And he stepped into a collapsing shard—erased by choice.

✨ Rin's Final Choice
> [Root Core Connected]
[Decision Point: Final Rewrite]
→ Lock this reality as the new permanent foundation?
Cost: Irreversible collapse of all previous timelines. No future divine rewrites.
Lilith looked up.
> "If you lock it… we can never go back."
He gripped her hand.
> "I don't want to go back."
> "I want us forward."
He pressed his hand to the Final Core.
> [CONFIRMED]

⚡ The Rewrite of All
Light exploded.
Every rewritten memory, battle, thread, failure—wove into one song.
Soulburn shattered… then rebuilt itself as a glowing artifact embedded in Rin's chest.
Lilith glowed, her body stabilizing not as a system construct—but as a living being.
And the system voice?
> "Root Thread Accepted."
"System… permanently rewritten."
Then silence.

Ending Scene – Aftermath
Ereborn didn't crash.
It restarted.
Clean.
Without gods.
Without chains.
Without rules…
Unless they wrote them themselves.
---
> "So… what now?" Lilith asked, resting against him.
Rin smiled, watching the sunrise over a world no longer monitored.
> "Now? We live."
> "For real."
