"Machine, I don't think there is a point to this."

Mankind is dead.

There's a real sense of hopelessness in this one, something I hope the official soundtrack touches on. V1 is most likely on a one-way trip; eventually the blood fuel is going to run out down there, and the machine will likewise eventually lock up and shut down. Time and resources are running out, and it won't be long before V1 is just another machine on E with no other way forward.

Humanity is dead.

Bro I can imagine the final arena in a giant ice glacier with the corpse of Lucifer leaning over the top, the beast that represents evil slain out of mercy by Gabriel ready to fight for the third and final time

when i searched up Magna Carta, it talked about a law that said that not government or ruler is above the law, hwich is applies to V1.

I’d love that the last layer is a callback to the prelude but it’s all frozen, intimidating and full of hopelessness

It’s over King John, sign this document or we’ll hand you over to him

Mankind is dead.

I love how the title and description tell you exactly what would happen in this level without any further context.

Name idea for 9-2: 'Cryogenic Closure' Considering not only would this be the end of the game, but V1's corpse would most likely be frozen in ice upon shutdown.

oh my god, the desperation, the song refusing to end going to its calmest moment and then rising up again each time rising lower and lower until it cuts off suddenly.

A final hurrah, a last attempt to get the kick of a fair battle once more. Gabriel housing the last blood of everything. The last fuel source V1 will ever conquer. It makes sense for a gods suicide: although it’s the end for him as well, he will die knowing he has finally felt true happiness, the ability to fight.

''Running low on fuel you try to make it as far before you shut down and become a lifeless corpse''

nothing will ever hit the way this song hits

"Machine, don't you see?

This is fantastic man, like everyone said it sounds like a last hurrah before v1 shuts down. How i can imagine it is v1 has killed Gabriel and now whatever is left demons, angles are having one last go at v1 and i can imagine it being like the final mission of halo reach but instead for death, less and less enemies spawn and v1 starts to slow down, freezing until eventually no more enemies and v1 can barely move. You watch as you hp, dashes everything begin to fade as finally v1 begins to freeze and just like the start with the reboot terminal it ends with a shutdown.
