On July 1st of the year 499, the 8 Great Patriarchs made a worldwide announcement.
"I, the most powerful of the 8 Great Patriarchs, pronounce in this place the preparation of the "Final War" which will begin on January 1st of the year 500.
This war will be a giant battle royale across the continent, with the aim of defining the strongest or most devious survivors of this world to take our places and thus become the new Great Patriarchs.

It is following this more than astonishing announcement that Yùichi MATO decided to do everything to become one of the new Great Patriarchs.

Unfortunately for him, his road will be long and full of pitfalls before he can hope to become one of them.

But before all, he will have to learn to know himself and his inner strength.

EARTH SURVIVAL

Sonia - "I'm sorry, but I won't be there." 


Selstine - "Sonia! What are you doing? Why are you refusing his offer? Do you realize what you are saying?" 


While saying her sentence, Selstine approached her sister and grabbed her by the shoulders. 


Sonia - "Yes, I am perfectly aware of it, that's why I decided to leave alone. 


Selstine - "But why? We can finally be together with strong people to protect us. So why do you want to pass up this chance?" 


This is the first time I've seen them talking to each other in a natural way and in a way I find it rather beautiful to see, even if the present conditions are not necessarily the most conducive to wonder. But for once, I heard something other than robots talking to me in a formal way that was not very pleasant. 


Sonia - "I know, you don't have to tell me, but I won't go back on my decision. Yùichi, I refuse your offer of alliance and decide to make my way on my own."
