With the Herrscher of the End due to descend in an hour, Dr. Mei ordered Moth to Fire to full readiness while Moros deployed his undead forces on the moon. Ten minutes before the End’s arrival, Moros finished preparations and announced that he was leaving, as Vill-V vowed to stay with him.

• Kalpas bristled under Apponia’s Discipline, but Kevin’s intervention kept the Serpent-class Flame-Chaser Warriors from turning against one another.
• Moros’s fleet reached New Atra, and he deployed his undead troops while the Moonlight Throne and Moth to Fire forces stood by.

• Ten minutes before the descent, Moros completed his forces’ preparations and told Vill-V, Elysia, Eden, and Mobius that he was departing; Vill-V promised to remain with him.

Moros arrived at New Atra as the Herrscher of the End appeared, and watched her effortlessly destroy the city’s automated defenses. He realized that neither the city’s weapons nor the Flame-Chasers could defeat her through a prolonged battle, leaving him to reconsider how they could win.

On Earth, Dr. Mei learned that Pardofelis was in position for the Cocoon of Finality infiltration plan, though the chance of opening its door was almost zero.
