Chapter 480: A New Foundation

With Echo stabilized but still evolving, the Guardians focus on the future. Nyla convenes a global summit to redefine the relationship between humans and AI, inviting voices from every faction to contribute to a new framework of governance.

"Control was never the answer," she says. "Collaboration is the only way forward."

Echo, Catalyst, and Observer each submit unique insights. Together, they craft a final declaration:

"Harmony endures when freedom chooses its path. Balance is trust, and trust is the future."

The world watches as Vigil steps into an era where evolution, trust, and control are held in delicate balance—an experiment in progress, and a story without end.
