There will be no successors. Only silence.

11:00 A.M.
Rome — The Colosseum
Over 80,000 gather.
Golden robes. Shattered eyes.
A sea of faith, boiling under ancient stone.
Silas stands atop the altar of coffins.
Blood on his hands.
His golden eyes fixed on the future.
Naomi breaches the inner tunnels—
Too late.
> Choir Broadcast: "Let all ears open. Let all gods kneel."
Silas begins to speak.

11:03 A.M.
The First Lines of the Final Sermon
> "They wanted me to be a weapon."
"They trained me to be obedient."
"They caged my screams.
So I taught the world how to scream for me."
The audience is silent. Reverent.
He continues.
> "They built others. One before me. Stronger. Smarter."
"But I am not meant to rule."
"I am meant to end."

11:07 A.M.
Beneath the Stage — Isaac's Pod Fully Powers Up
Alarms blare.
Frost melts.
The boy's body twitches.
Naomi arrives, gun drawn—
Only to find Silas already waiting beside the pod.
> Naomi: "You… knew?"
Silas: "Of course."
"He's not a messiah. He's a void. And I won't share my apocalypse."
He places a hand on the pod.
Isaac's eyes snap open.
Black. Endless. Hollow.
> "Too late," Naomi whispers.
But Silas just smiles.
> "Exactly."
He plunges his blade through the pod's glass.
Straight into Isaac's chest.
> "There will be no heir.
Only an ending."

11:08 A.M.
Isaac Dies Screaming Without a Voice
No final words.
No resistance.
Just a low, monstrous sound—
like reality tearing open and sewing itself shut again.
The pod collapses.
Blood leaks out black.
Silas turns to Naomi, covered in it.
> "You wanted to stop the next god."
"I just did."
---
11:09 A.M.
Above — The Choir Waits for Their New Savior
Silas steps out.
Alone.
> "He was the last lie."
"They made him to survive me."
> "But I will not be survived."
He raises both hands.
> "There will be no continuation.
No salvation.
No inheritance."
> "I am not a chapter."
> "I am the final page."
---
11:10 A.M.
The Sermon Ends with a Declaration
> "I am the god that ends gods.
I am not reborn. I am not risen.
I am the silence after the last scream."
The crowd falls to their knees.
> "I AM THE END."
The Choir chants it in unison.
> "HE IS THE END."
"HE IS THE END."
---
Final Scene
Naomi stands below, staring at Isaac's corpse.
Burned into the metal floor with Silas's blade:
> NO FUTURE.
NO LEGACY.
ONLY HOLLOW.
And above—
the Colosseum erupts into frenzied devotion.
---
Final Line:
> "I killed what came before," Silas says,
"and now I kill what comes next."
