Die!
Stop!
Yu-No, what's happened to you?
I'll kill anyone who defies the Emperor.
What did you--
Yu-No!
"Episode 24: The Truth of Dela Granto"
We won't tell you wild dogs anything.
Maybe I'll just start carving you up until you change your mind.
Ears. Eyelids. Lips.
I'm so glad you're safe!
I didn't expect to see her there.
The girl in the mask was my daughter.
A daughter who tries to kill her father?
She's not... just in a rebellious phase, right?
I don't know why, but Yu-No forgot about me.
But...
I think Yu-No only temporarily lost her memories.
If they come back to her...
Boss...
Do you know how many of our men she's killed?
I'm sorry.
But leave Yu-No to me.
What is this place?
An underground corridor?
It's kind of creepy.
The event element measurement device...
If you make weird noises the enemy will find us.
Sorry. Let's get going.
What is this place?
That's dangerous, boss!
Another prisoner?
Are you okay?
It's been a long time, Takuya-kun.
Ryuzoji!
You know him?
I'll free him.
Don't.
What?
Why did you let them catch you?
You don't even have a body. You could just escape.
The Divine Emperor outsmarted me.
I didn't expect her to work with Mother and prepare a device to seal me.
Let's go.
You're looking for the priestess, right?
Your daughter. Yu-No-kun, that was her name, right?
Tell me. Where is she?
And what will you do when you find out?
Don't tell me you're going to
try and save the daughter who forgot you and tried to kill you.
Who is...
...this guy?
No good.
This isn't easy to open.
There must be something important inside.
Oh? Is that you, Amanda-chan?
Sarah!
What are you doing here?
It's been so long!
Tell me. Where is Yu-No?
I'll tell you one thing.
To allow the god into her body,
the priestess must offer up one of her body's functions.
Your mother, Keitia, offered up her sight and became blind.
My mom was a priestess?
Your wife, Sayless, offered up her words.
Thus, she couldn't speak.
And your daughter, Yu-No, offered up her heart and lost her memories.
That's...
There is a way to get her heart back.
If you break the barrier and release me, I'll tell you.
I can't do that!
Don't you want to save your daughter?
Your beloved daughter...
Ryuzoji!
Eriko-sensei!
Looks like we're having a reunion today.
I finally found you!
Wow, she's hot!
Takuya, you know her too?
I guess, yeah.
Eriko-sensei, I'm sure this is a load off your shoulders.
Thanks for your help.
You're so naïve.
You don't know what he really wants.
Ignore him.
Don't you think it's strange?
He raped the priestess, and now his daughter is the next priestess.
That's not all.
He knows me, a man locked deep below the imperial city,
and that woman, who came from a completely different culture.
The skin-tight mini-skirt teacher look you had going was one thing,
but this outfit is pretty out there, too.
What? This is my job's official uniform, you know.
Niarb! Ryuzoji!
The barrier!
I'll be going!
Wait! Ryuzoji!
He's going to try to go back to the imperial city and bring more chaos.
But I'll catch him before he can.
You sure about this, Sarah?
You're a maid here in the imperial city now, right?
It's fine.
If you're here, it means this castle is done for.
And I've had enough fun with the guards, too.
Nothing!
Bye-bye! See you around!
She's the same as ever.
My head hurts.
I feel like I've got a hangover.
The room with the priestess is heavily guarded, of course.
How do we get through?
Boss, we'll handle it!
We need to pay you back for our screw-up!
Intruders!
Intruders inside the castle!
What?
Our top priority is to protect the Divine Emperor!
Damn it! Hurry!
Nice job, guys...
Who are you?
It's me, Yu-No! Your dad!
Stop it! Stop!
Don't show me that cloth!
Sayless...
Sayless! You're inside her, right?
You tell her too!
Stop it!
Tell her we're family!
Stop it!
Yu-No, remember! Come back to me!
Yu-No, you're my daughter, the one I love the most.
My daughter and Sayless's daughter!
Daddy...
Yu-No, do you recognize me?
Daddy?
That's right! Your daddy!
Daddy! I missed you, Daddy!
Me too!
I missed you for so long!
Hey, Amanda!
Asche-san!
What is this room?
Are they starting a circus?
Welcome to the hall of memories!
You stay here, Yu-No.
Why?
There'll be an uproar if the priestess disappears.
I see.
What will you do?
I still have something I have to do.
I'll come back when it's over.
I've been waiting.
You came, didn't you?
Takuya-kun.
Ayumi-san?
Takuya-kun, I'm so sorry about what happened with Sayless-san.
I took the life of the person you loved...
Yeah... but that wasn't your fault.
Anything my men did is my responsibility.
You haven't changed.
You think so?
Takuya-kun, here.
The Reflector Device!
I kept it safe, because I knew you'd come to take it back someday.
Thanks.
But I still can't believe it...
That you're the Divine Emperor.
It's a long story.
That day, I was struck by lightning on Mt. Sankaku, and arrived in Dela Granto.
I was saved by Ryuzoji, who by that point was no longer even human.
I took control of Grand Mother under his supervision.
Over the long years,
the people of Dela Granto had lost the ability to control the Unified Computer.
I found out all the information I could from Mother.
And I learned that Ryuzoji was planning to use Mother to rule over this country.
Grand Mother's mind became afraid of Ryuzoji, and she chose me to defeat him.
With her help, I was able to create
a device that could seal creatures like Ryuzoji, that had no body,
and locked him in the basement.
And I became the Divine Emperor myself.
Mother's will was worshiped as the words of a god.
So it didn't take long.
It's been so long since we've had guests! I'm so happy!
What's a kid doing here?
It's dangerous to be here, kiddo, so let's go somewhere else.
What is she?
Don't look so angry, Amanda-san!
How do you know my name?
And Kartz-san, and Deo-san, and Asche-san, and Bobby-san!
Everybody, smile!
She knows about us too?
She doesn't look like an ordinary kid.
I'm Ai, the AI! I tell everybody old stories about Dela Granto!
You want to hear my stories, right? Right?
When I became Divine Emperor,
I learned the relationship between Earth and Dela Granto.
It was thousands, tens of thousands, no...
Tens of millions of years ago, there was a super-advanced civilization on Earth.
The people living now call them...
The Earth Precursors.
But one day, their civilization became exposed to a great danger.
The scientists...
...predicted that big meteors would fall and everyone would die!
Those meteors...
Were called "The Tears of God."
The race that ruled the Earth was destroyed by meteors...
Sounds like the dinosaurs.
Their scientific abilities had reached
the point where even the will of god could not affect them.
In the face of their destruction...
They developed an incredible technology!
It was...
Amazing, huh?
They'd move this huge island to a different dimension where it was safe!
This was the birth of Dela Granto, the dimensional floating continent.
So the whole neighborhood up and moved, huh?
Yup.
And the leader of the move was the female scientist, Grantia.
Scientist? Not politician?
Yes.
Massive amounts of technology were used to allow humans to live in another dimension.
For example, artificial plants...
...to provide an oxygen supply,
or the artificial sun Melgio, a heavy fusion reactor.
You know all them well, right?
But the environment in this other dimension was too different from Earth.
And everybody started to die!
Humans dropped to 10% of their former population.
Poor things!
The group of scientists modified living beings themselves,
to give them the power to adapt to the environment.
They altered living beings?
Correct. Didn't you find it strange
when you looked at the living creatures in this world?
Is that... why Yu-No grew up so fast?
That was another result of her adaptation to the environment.
They increased the amount of time she spent as an an adult,
to give her more time to be productive.
I see...
But... this is terrible to say, but...
A lot of the modification attempts failed.
Then these monsters...
They were humans, like us?
But at the same time, they became unable to survive on the floating continent
without a certain energy ore.
The name of that ore was...
Psychite.
What I was researching at Geotech.
The stone that Kanna-chan needed.
The one I came to Dela Granto to find.
And then just when they solved that problem, they had another!
Their calculations for Dela Granto's orbit were off!
According to the orbital calculations I did, our dimensional floating continent
and Earth continually approach and separate from each other.
This occurs over a 400 year cycle...
Then my dad's 400 Year Cycle Theory...
It was correct.
Only the leader of the scientists, Grantia,
could control the huge floating continent.
But...
I cannot escape from the end of my natural lifespan.
Thus, I have developed technology that will allow my mind to live on as data
and control the continent even after my death.
But it has a flaw.
It needs a catalyst upon which I can project my mind and synchronize to...
A human female was needed.
The priestess?
Yes.
Grantia's scan program would choose her.
She would lose one of her bodily functions to make it easier to synchronize.
And that was my mom, and Sayless, and Yu-No?
Takuya...
The Earth and Dela Granto are about to be at their point of maximum approach.
If Earth and Dela Granto get too close...
Ka-boom! Big trouble!
Are we going to die?
You just need to do the ritual!
The priestess needs to synchronize with Grantia and avoid the collision!
If that happens...
Both worlds will be saved.
But a price must be paid.
Takuya-kun... This is very hard to say...
But even if the ritual succeeds,
the priestess, Yu-No, will most likely be annihilated.
That's all I have to say!
Was it interesting, guys?
The ritual that we thought was a lie...
And the priestess... and what the Divine Emperor is doing...
It was all true...
We came here to stop the ritual.
But...
If that happens, I think you'll all have a problem.
Leader...
