Also the last scene of the game when the merging ending is chosen, displays the quote "if there were no god, it would be necessary to invent him", implying that is what the player has just done. However I'd argue the original intent of the game developers, was that it should succeed, and it having succeeded was the impression most players of the original had at the time. Invisible war created a canon that arguably contains minor retcons (to what was implied if not shown), in an attempt to merge those two possible endings (and to a much lesser extent the third) creating the 'failed merging' version of events. The blackout of the net was a separate ending, only occurring if the player chose to initiate it. Or 'Deus Ex Machina' (god from the machine). The original Dues Ex, taken in isolation, presents merging with Icarus and Daedalus (Helios as they are collectively known), as not creating a technological blackout but instead creating a god out of the three machine-like entities.
