When the last part of the Will joins the rest, the House is destroyed and the incarcerated divine being the 'Old One' breaks free and becomes one with the Will. It is explained that the divine being, the 'Architect', was bored of living forever, but could not die without destroying all of creation, because she had chained the fate of the 'Old One' to that of the House, and the Old One was in fact a part of the Architect. Therefore, she had turned herself into the Will so that an heir, to be made the new Architect, would be found. The Architect destroys the remnants of creation, and Arthur becomes the new Architect as the old Architect fades away. Arthur decides to recreate the universe as it was, but cannot recreate his mother. He splits himself into the human Arthur and the new Architect, who sends the human Arthur and Leaf back to Earth. The new Architect remakes Suzy and gives her the title of the new lady Sunday; they decide to also remake a number of her friends and design the new House with them.
