  • Tens of thousands of particle cannons emerge, charging to purify the group. A countdown to destruction begins.

  • The system re-evaluates itself into logical consistency: high-energy reactions become "experimental research samples"; Abyssal aura becomes "special teaching aids." Threat level resets to none, weapons retract, and the AI greets them politely.
