Sam does not overthrow Heaven by replacing Brahma. He destroys its claim to inevitability. The gods lose key weapons, allies, bodies, and the secrecy that made their rule seem cosmic. Reincarnation and divine powers are still real experiences, but they can no longer be presented as gifts available only through an unquestionable sacred order.
The alliance against Nirriti prevents the final chapter from becoming a simple revolution-versus-tyranny victory. Sam works with the regime he hates because a crusade enforced by an army without wills would leave even less space for freedom. His blessing of Nirriti is not conversion; it is mercy offered across incompatible belief. The act also completes a transformation begun with Rild: Sam's performed compassion has become something he can sincerely practice.
Kali's fate is deliberately bitter. She gains the office of Brahma and loses it through the damage of another transfer. Yama, who once served order at the cost of love, now preserves her as Murga even when she can no longer embody the destructive goddess he desired. Kubera's intervention offers partial restoration, not a clean return. The immortals discover that continuity of data cannot guarantee continuity of personhood.
Sam's disappearance leaves revolution without a permanent messiah. This is consistent with the Buddhist language he once used as strategy: liberation cannot end in worship of another ruler. The myths that accumulate around him may distort his purpose, but the technological and political possibilities he released cannot be returned to Hellwell or Heaven.
