After mentally preparing herself, Mai Sakurajima opened the comic.
She had not missed a single update these past few days. From the Twelfth Herrscher until now, even though every chapter had left her aching, she could not bear to stop reading. She wanted to see what happened next.
In the previous chapter, with Sakura's sacrifice, Dr. MEI trapped Rin within the base's main control system. She then separated the system and sealed it inside a black box, intending to turn Rin into a Divine Key as well.
However, Rin's resistance had prevented her from succeeding.
After the Twelfth Herrscher controlled nuclear weapons and destroyed humanity's last three cities, humanity's decline was not yet severe from the standpoint of knowledge and technology. But from the standpoint of civilization, human civilization no longer existed. Humanity had already lost.
After that, under MEI's leadership, the remaining humans barely managed to assemble several "fleets." Carrying their last supplies, they left the battered base and set out for the shelters on remote islands that had escaped the attack.
Although humans still survived in this world, hope had long vanished from their hearts. They could not see a future.
What was more, an even more terrifying enemy awaited them—the Herrscher of Finality.
In such a hopeless apocalypse, after everything that had happened, people were no longer united. Instead, they suspected one another...

No, perhaps before
