### Summary
The series concludes in an abrupt finale that has left many readers feeling the ending was rushed and desiring side stories for more closure. The chapter's central event is a quiet conversation with an old man, whom the audience has overwhelmingly identified as the god Utu, revealing the divine lineage connecting Kun and Reniae to their past incarnations, Kata and Armanu. This lore reveal, which also confirms the goddess Inanna's role, is praised for its subtlety, but Utu's mention of "grandchildren" has primarily fueled widespread speculation that Reniae is pregnant, intensifying calls for an epilogue. However, the satisfaction of this happy resolution is heavily marred by persistent criticism of the main characters' "whitewashed" divine appearances, with many readers lamenting the loss of Kun's original design. While some reflect on the complexity of the defeated antagonist, Gizzida, the dominant reaction is a mix of relief at the happy ending and frustration with its hasty execution, which skips over a detailed aftermath.
