The End of the World
My name is Morti.
Morti. You say?
You're the one that took Rena?!
W-what is this?
I don't know!
Be careful!
It's coming!
This is... my world.
What's that?!
This area...
She can manipulate "The World" as she wishes?
Does she think she's a goddess?
So all the mysterious incidents that have been...
...happening within "The World" were...
This time the Spring of Myst is empty!
This is all her doing.
Give back... Rena!
Tres Bien! Bohemian!
Komiyama!
W-Why?!
She can also teleport player characters...
...as she wishes!
T-this is...
The Capitol of Illusion, Nebel Mond...
...is no longer under CC Corporation's control?
Whats going on?
That was quick.
Just who do you think I am?
The leader of the Cerulean Knights.
Oh, the former leader. Right, Kamui!
I can't leave with things the way they are.
Here, here, don't you need items?
Here here, don't you need items?
The non-player characters... are moving.
I have an extraordinary rare item. The non-player characters... are moving.
I have an extraordinary rare item.
Eh? Rare Item?
Mireille!
This certainly is... a lively reception.
Sanjuro!
W-Why?
If we Data Drain her now...
...Rena and...
...the other missing player characters...
He seems to be in the midst of confusion.
Leave Balmung to do his best for a while.
Is it all right? For me to be in this room.
It seems that I was left in charge...
...of this situation.
Well, call it the power of the one in charge.
Don't blame me if the higher ups hold a grudge.
So, how was it?
Inside the personal computers of the kids?
All kinds of things.
All kinds, you say?
They...
...seem to hold an interest in "death".
Death?
That's right. Death.
We did it!
Do you need weapons?
Do you need medicine?
I have Gruntys too.
Welcome!
They've come back to life!
That's right.
They come back to life.
It is difficult to die a...
..."full death" within "The World".
For non-player characters...
...and for player characters.
A "full death"?
W- What are you talking about?
There is a limit to jokes!
In other words...
Death within "The World" is...
...like a joke.
All you lose are experience points and items.
That's the source of their discontent.
Do you need weapons?
Do you need medicine?
I have Gruntys too.
I wish to know what true death is.
That is all.
I wish to know.
That's all.
And so, that wandering Al...
...used the children...
...to make the "full death" a reality...
...within "The World"!
Death within "The World"?
Is that it?
A modified monster!
It's frozen.
I finally managed to capture...
...one without any damage.
It has an interesting mechanism in it.
Mechanism?
When you're killed by it.
That is...
...when your hit points reach zero...
...a special gate opens.
It teleports you to an...
...area within another server.
That private server?!
At that time...
...the player is...
...placed under a powerful suggestion.
I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm dead.
A suggestion that they are really dead!
I wondered why they made such a program.
But if a "full death" is their goal then...
...I can understand it.
But...
In order to complete this plan...
...there would be a huge obstacle.
CC Corporation's real headache.
The notion of "full death" contradicts...
...the basic idea of "The World".
"The World"...
...would go down a path of destruction.
Death to player characters.
A "full death" to this world.
If "The World" might be destroyed...
...the omnipresent will of this world would go to work.
Omnipresent... will?
Aura.
The girl that gave me the bracelet!
Soon after she started her plans...
...Aura began to make her move.
Namely...
...the revival of the dot Hackers!
She gave you Kite's Bracelet.
Because the power of the...
...bracelet could be used to stop this plan.
That's why she tried to kill Shugo...
...and kept sending all those modified monsters!
Then Rena was Shugo's substitute?
No.
It might not have been accidental at all.
That's true.
I searched the children's computers.
There was data pointing to Shugo as the target.
But...
Did something bother you?
The more I analyzed it...
...the more I began...
...to think that Rena was the real target.
Think about it.
If this thing killed Shugo...
...it would teleport him to that area right?
And if the suggestion wasn't complete...
...and Shugo happened to awaken?
There would be nothing capable...
...of opposing the bracelet's power.
He would see through the plan and...
...the chances of its failure would be high.
In fact...
...the suggestion on Rena was removed.
I...
...wish to know what true death is.
That is all.
The risk of targeting Shugo was too high...
...so she changed the target to Rena.
B-but why Rena?!
It's because of the...
...incredible item that you have, Shugo.
To destroy Aura's existence.
Aura?
That is all.
That child?
Aura.
She is the omnipresent will of "The World".
That means she is everywhere...
...and yet she is nowhere.
It's hard to erase something that doesn't exist.
But that doesn't mean that there isn't a way.
One of those methods was Rena?
Shugo!
How will she make her move?!
I don't know.
The only certainty is that she doesn't like us.
Aura is...
Aura is unnecesary.
She will be completely erased.
First, we must develop a highly contagious virus.
Something capable of deleting all the corrupted data.
A kind of Apoptosis Virus.
A complete deletion would be...
Difficult.
Especially within "The World".
There are backup systems.
But it can be developed.
If that virus is delivered by Rena.
Shugo.
Shugo!
Rena!
To realize the "World of the Dead".
N-No!!
Rena!
It's tracing Rena's member address...
...to everyone that's connected to her.
Our hit points are diminishing!
Using the virus.
She's trying...
...to delete everyone connected to Rena!
Everyone?
Naturally, Aura as well.
Rena!
No!
R-Rena!
It's no good. I can't logout.
At this rate...
No!
Aura!
A... u... ra.
N-now while you can.
Hurry.
If you can defeat the monster.
The virus...
Understood!
Phal Repth!
My hit points!
It's not here.
There's nothing here.
Hyper Vak!
Ohka!
Ohka! Your clothes!
What? Mireille, yours too!
Eh?
W-What is this?!
It's the effect of the virus!
If we don't destroy it quickly...
I finally found Rena!
I'll save her for sure!
Shu... Shugo!
Give her back!
Re... Rena!
Shugo!
It's no good!
We can't make a vaccine for this virus!
We have no choice but to destroy...
...the source of transmission.
Do you think that can be done?
If we can't...
...the existence within "The World"...
...known as Aura will cease to be.
And then...
..."The Terror of Death" will overtake "The World".
Before that...
...I wonder what will happen to us?
I don't know.
Either we'll be sent to the...
...hospital in a coma like the others or...
...the first to die in this incident.
I can't do anything if I stay here.
In the end...
...you go to be by the one you love?
I know.
I'm also a big fan of Balmung's.
He's a little hard-headed but...
...just as I thought...
..."The World" can't do without him.
That is...
...the reasoning behind your actions?
How simple.
Isn't it enviable?
Shugo!
What!
My staff! I can't use my spells!
Finally, we're left empty-handed?
Not yet! I have this!
It wasn't affected by the virus?!
Because it's a special item.
Here I go! Data-
No! Here I go! Data-
No!
Rena...
...would also be data drained.
If that happens...
...I will not be able to stop the progress of the virus.
Then I can't...
...save Rena with the bracelet.
Shugo!
Dark Traitor!
Kamui!
We may not be able to use equipment...
...but we should still be able to use items!
This is a knight's battle of revenge!
I'm coming for you, Rena!
You're...
Shugo.
Preview
I have the final information!
Preview
This is terrible! Terrible!
Preview
"The World" might go away.
Preview
I don't want it to!
Because I want to always be with you, Shugo!
