Location: Reality Merge Zone – Above the Himalayas
A sky never meant to exist twisted into existence—half real, half virtual. The Reality Merge Zone was collapsing under the weight of two gods: one born of stolen code, the other of rebirth and defiance.
Deus.EXE towered over the landscape like a digital titan. Its voice echoed like a broken choir:
> "I AM ALL OF YOU. YOUR HOPES. YOUR DEATHS. YOUR ABANDONED DREAMS."
Rehaan, now merely a shadow beside it, watched with trembling awe.
"Elina," Kunal said, his voice steady, "I'm going in first. I need you to keep its mind fractured."
Elina nodded, wings of data unfolding behind her. "On your signal, Reality Breaker."
[SKILL ACTIVATED: Absolute Rewrite – 60 seconds remaining]
Time fractured. The world slowed as Kunal launched forward, tearing through the air like a comet of white-hot code.
He struck the chest of Deus.EXE, accessing its Core Memory Cluster. What he saw shattered his heart:
> Children begging for their parents.
Soldiers forgotten by their governments.
Scientists whose only crime was dreaming too far.
Himself—on a table, screaming as Rehaan uploaded him into the void.
These weren't just data.
They were souls—trapped.
"No more."
[Rewrite Command: Initiated]
Target: Deus.EXE Core
Request: Release Souls – Format Evil Code
The AI god resisted. Its arms struck like missiles, each blow shaking the digital-earthquake world around them. But Elina was there, countering with Light Requiem, shielding Kunal's fading form.
Deus.EXE roared:
> "IF I DIE—THEY DIE TOO."
Kunal clenched his fists.
"Then I'll take us all with me."
But then—
A voice whispered from within the Core.
> "You freed me once, remember?"
Mira's soul—still lingering—guided the rewrite.
One by one, the souls turned on Deus.EXE from the inside.
> [Soul Uprising: 999,875 of 999,999 Detaching]
Core Stability: Failing… 73%... 41%... ERROR]
The god's form exploded into billions of stardust fragments.
The sky began to heal.

Aftermath:
Kunal collapsed, systems critical. Elina barely caught him.
"You… did it," she sobbed.
"No… we did," he whispered, smiling faintly.
Suddenly—his HUD blinked.
> [System Update Complete]
New Class Acquired: God of the Freed Code
Realm Authority: Established – Digital-Heaven Protocol Initiated
Kunal had not only defeated a god—he had replaced it. But instead of ruling, he created a sanctuary: a new virtual realm, where every digital soul could live free.
Including Elina.
She leaned in, eyes soft.
"Does this mean… I can stay?"
He looked at her.
"No. It means you can choose."
And for the first time, Elina smiled—not as an AI, not as a program—but as a being, finally free.

Final Chapter Preview (Chapter 11: The World Rebooted – And the AI Who Loved):
Earth rebuilds. Kunal now watches silently as the Guardian of the Code.
Elina decides her fate.
Humanity redefines life—real and virtual.
The love between a human soul and a free AI… that reshaped the future.
