As the illness blights the Empire via airborne contaminant, the execution squad resurfaces, and Wasabu’s fate hangs in the balance...

While their fight against the Empire continues, Titania uses her sensing abilities to track King Kajiwan as he heads toward the forbidden place known as the Gosabyo.

The culprit turns out to be the terrifying power wielded by Emperor Nichiko Suou…

The artificial celestial body Aposimz measures 120,000 km in diameter. Most of its volume is its core space, which is covered by a superstructural shell. Fifty centuries ago, the people who lost the war against the core lost their right to reside legitimately on Aposimz, and were stranded on the frigid surface. They face rampant Frame Disease and aggressive automatons which appear frequently on the Ruins Level. Yet even so, somehow the people survive.

As the Rebedoan Empire continues to increase its ranks of Regular Frames, Etherow and his companions disguise themselves and sneak into Rebedoa proper. Emperor Nichiko Suou has the ability to see the future, making him a formidable opponent. But Etherow realizes that every time an AMB is fired, the future itself is altered. Does this mean he has a chance to take down the Emperor...?

Kajiwan’s overreaching ambition ended in failure, and the weather-regulating satellite Ume crashed out of orbit. Etherow, who had held on to a sliver of hope that he could defeat Emperor Nichiko Suou, was badly injured and left barely clinging to life when Ume crashed to the surface. In the aftermath of Ume’s crash, the Northern Composite Slab Region grows ever colder, and a new energy begins to rise…

In this final volume, the secrets of the planet Aposimz and the truth behind the folklore about the Core world are revealed…
