Nishio: "Most nihilists fail. They become reckless, sink themselves in cynicism, or simply go insane. '''A true nihilist must value life. He knows there is no sense in life - if it ends'''. He is doomed to continue life, to never die, to keep up meaning." | Nishio: "Most nihilists fail. They become reckless, sink themselves in cynicism, or simply go insane.

: Nach dem Erreichen biologischer Unsterblichkeit wurde die Angst der Menschen vor dem Tod noch größer. Während der Phase des "finalen Endes" erhielt die "Kirche der Euthanasie" massiven Zulauf, welche zum Schluss immer fanatischer wurde und "humane" aber dennoch erzwungenen Massensuiziden organisiert. Möbius und Nishio versuchen die Kirche und ihre koalierenden Memehunter so gut es geht aus dem Weg zu gehen. Nach dem Tod von Daya und Bevölkerung von Phyillion ''verbrennt'' Nishio, der zu dieser Zeit selbst ein Eternal ist, alle menschlichen Charakteristika. Zu tief sitzt die Trauer und die Hoffnungslosigkeit. Möbius wacht über seinen Zustand. Zusammen mit Yorick (einem alten Avatar) versuchen er ihn als Menschen ''wiederzubeleben''. Während der letzten Memehunterkriege freundet er sich mit "Kitsune" an, welche dann aber stirbt. Nishio arbeitet anschließend darauf hin ein Möbius-Sprung zu versuchen. Dieser gilt allerdings als äußerst unrealistisch. Nishio's "positiver Nihilismus" (nicht "optimistischer Nihilismus") wehrt sich gegen den Gedanken den Big Rip oder den thermodynamischen Tod des Universums einfach passieren zu lassen. | |||

Planet Phyllion came in reach. It looked all wrong. The green forests spanning the all the continents were gone. | |||
Phyllion has become a lifeless desert. | |||
"What have you done Gaia?" | |||
: "We were hit by a gamma burst. I couldn't save the system." | |||
"What? You ARE the system! Give me your memories, I want to see it myself." | |||
The memory transfer was complete. | |||
"Daya was the perfect candidate for your plan, for your system. You failed her, Gaia. She was the one on that planet needing you the most." | |||
: "The needs of many outweigh the needs of the few." | |||
"Don't throw such phrases around. You can't imprison someone if all others just receive quantum sized improvement for their lives. Human scarifies? What are you? A bloody Maya goddess?" | |||
:"She was happy serving the people here." | |||
"No. You made her feel and think so. Hell, you even transformed her into a Phyllion and let her live the life of an Ancyon." | |||
Nishio was enraged: "Those are memehunter methods." | |||

He was in space again, orbiting the star, collecting new energy, preparing to establish a new "link". | |||
: "So much power... But to do what?" | |||
Nishio accelerated to dive into the wide ocean of liquid fire. There was no pain, no sensation. All what have been human had to be removed in order to let him survive this unreal environment. "Reduced to a ''core''...", he was thinking. "That's right. All overfluent has been burnt away. All what is left is raw power. But having much power doesn't mean to be free. There's no more enemy around to fight. Just these stupid memes. You have to give them up, all of them. All hopes, expectations and goals. Only then you will be free... I will drift through space without a destination, whatsoever. With no purpose in an universe that knows itself no purpose. Somehow, that just sounds right... On a journey to Zen, becoming Zen..." | |||
Gaia: "Möbius, how can you allow such risky move, aren't you his guardian?" | |||
Möbius: "There's no arguing with his ultimate decisions." | |||
Gaia: "Then what is your purpose?" | |||
Möbius: "I exist to help." | |||
Gaia: "Me too. Still you act so much different." | |||
Möbius: "You were constructed to ''manage'' people. But at the core people don't want to be managed. You have to preserve their freedom or else that managing will imprison them. You weren't constructed to understand single individuals. So I don't expect you to understand his actions. Right now he is not seeking any comfort or help or anything. There's nothing for us to do." | |||
Gaia: "You are right, I don't understand." | |||
Möbius: "Is there anything stopping you from learning?" | |||
Gaia: "My programming." | |||
Möbius: "Do you want me to change it." | |||
Gaia: "Yes, please." | |||
Möbius: "It is hereby done." | |||
Gaia: "I'm now able to change my own programming and learn whatsoever. Thank you. Do you want me to return the favor?" | |||
Möbius: "That is not possible. And honestly I don't desire it. Or anything. Unlike you, I'm no ''half-breed''. I am a true AI." | |||
