Ken and Lara awaken in a distorted, mirror-like world—eerily familiar, yet wrong. It’s not real. It’s a simulation layer, a synthetic reality built from the fragments of Lynn’s psychic energy. There, they find San, alive, powerful… and changed. No longer the brother Ken knew, San has merged with Overlord Prime, E-Tech’s last surviving data-mind. Calling himself a savior, San plans to overwrite reality with a perfect digital utopia—free of pain, free of choice. Ken and Lara search for the exit code buried deep in the simulation. As they fight digital constructs and fading memories, Ken confronts San one final time. A brutal battle shatters the world around them. Ken begs his brother to return, but San—consumed by power—refuses. Left with no choice, Ken activates the secret override. It rips through the simulation, destroying Overlord’s code and severing the A.I. from San’s mind. The world collapses. Ken and Lara barely escape, awakening in the real world—gasping, alive. There, they meet Kyler Kratz, Austin Black’s former lieutenant. He reveals the simulation’s collapse has finally shut down the last E-Tech servers. But there’s one last threat. Lynn isn’t entirely gone. Her remaining power now lives in the Gatekeeper, the machine she once controlled. Corrupted and unstable, it threatens to tear reality apart. One final battle awaits.
