"* YOU HAVE THE SOUL OF AN EMPEROR *

The second ending is a lot different and, generally less to explain than the first one.

The second ending has you encounter the second Triagon, Life. I won't go too into the story of the second Triagon as it's not as important as ending 2 is a bit more literal, but I do think this line is fairly important

Existence became a scarce product, and the nervebags came to detest the limits. Suffering was born. The second triagon was content with its power.

This would indicate that an existence without death was suffering for them, however that's not entirely the point of this ending.

In the ending itself, rather than killing Life, the Protagonist speaks directly to Life himself, and seemingly ascend to god hood, or something similar to that. While that doesn't really have any gameplay effects, it does have very important narrative implications (which I'll get more into on the third ending)

Beyond that, the dialogue is fairly simple yet fairly important. Life basically says, the Protagonist (as one of the people who cannot die) is an empty husk. Despite this, he's also one of the only people going against the people causing this, and he's determined. Life seemingly gives the Protagonist a lot of praise, and encourages them go on. It's worth noting that by saying "I weep." at the start of this whole thing, it may imply regret. The reasoning behind all this becomes clear in ending 3.
