Was the ending of 1916 edition of The Mysterious Stranger Twain's own work or that of the posthumous editing?

I don't understand, why build such a long narrative and then blow it away like that? If humanity is flawed to the point where it is so absurd it might just be a dream, a fantasy, why care about it at all and construct the narrative? I don't understand.

Has someone read the original fragments? How different they are if they are different at all?

What do you think about it?

So definite edition is pretty much the same?

In the definite edition satan and the narrators are like printing apprentices.
Satan also gives "Nr 44, New Series 834.244" or something wacky like that as his name

See the wikipedia article, there are even more versions.

Guess the ending is rather nihilistic, seems to me that this was Twains general direction in spiritual concerns?
Boltzman brain?
