The next day, Dinan remembers nothing of his true nature to Levy the day before, and when Levy asks him about the top-secret classified data, he lies and says that he was forced to leave the Void Apparatus and begs Levy to stay somehow.
Levy knew the whole truth, but she listened to Dinan’s request. Not only because the dolls had swayed her mind, but also because Dinan was right when he said, “We are the only ones who will hire you, and accept you as a researcher.”
Levy thought it was a cunning, weak human’s idea, and she felt self-loathing.Levy cursed her circumstances and vowed to turn it around by screwing it up by force, but she doesn’t rebel when team members bully her, because she only thinks about the puppet and continues to be on the team even though it has no merit.
Levy was well aware that the people on the team didn’t see the real Levy and didn’t treat her like a person. However, she felt that she still had more rights as a person in this team than she did on the outside.
On July 7, Levy wakes up to find that the Abyss emanates from the Regius of Council of Six and orders the elimination of Ruby and her buddy who have infiltrated the Mother Ship.
The Abyss brainwashing that had been accidentally applied to Levy was soon lifted, and Levy headed for the mother ship in his right mind, elated at the perfect opportunity to kill Ruby, whom she loathed.
In the campship heading to the mother ship, Levy was not persecuted by the ARKS manipulated by Abyss and was able to get on board with them. The blurred faces of the ARKS excited Levy, and she took out her knife and tried to talk to them, but the effect of the absolute decree on the ARKS faded as she spoke, and Levy was disappointed.
However, she went on to kill the ARKS, and mocking the other ARKS who came to their senses at the sight, Levy killed all the ARKS who were aboard the campship and arrived at the mother ship.
Levy is in a good mood as she proceeds through the Mother Ship, where she encounters a new Council of Six, Zeno. Zeno tries to solve Levy’s Abyss, but when he realizes that she is sane, he understands that Levy really wants to kill Ruby. But Zeno tells her to “cool your head” and knocks her out.
When Levy wakes up, she receives a transmission from Dinan. He says that the mothership where Levy is now is the “old mothership” and that Dark falz has resurrected by engulfing the land. Dinan tells her that it is a miracle that Levy is alive, and Levy heard Dinan’s request and returned to the team room.
When she returned to the team room, Dinan explained the request. Dark Falz, who had been revived aboard the Mothership, was Loser, and his true identity was Luther, the leader of the Void Apparatus. The team room had been planning the creation, and the doll that Levy had been strongly drawn to turned out to be a clone of Luther.
Therefore, Dinan needed Luther’s personality data. He came up with a plan to take advantage of Dark Falz’s ability to possess human bodies and be revived, offering the clone vessel of Luther as a replacement body, and retrieving Luther’s original body, which Loser had discarded.
Levy was chosen to carry out the task, but as the weakest ARKS who couldn’t use photons, they were assigned the mission of negotiating with Dark Falz. The mission took precedence over Levy’s life. Even though Levy realized they were being used as a pawn by Dinan, they didn’t resist and returned to the Mothership once again to carry out the operation.
Upon heading toward the central area of the old Mothership, Levy discovered Loser.
「Guh…haa…haa!My strength,it`s being shaved away… Is this… the power of that person?」
Loser had just been defeated by Ruby and the ARKS and was damaged. Levy was finally able to see the expression and eye color of the doll that had intrigued her, and shefound Loser’s appearance to be attractive.
「Fufu…But still! I…! If I`m still alive, the path to omniscience isn`t closed yet!」
However, Levy concealed this and negotiated with the Loser. From the Loser’s perspective, Levy appeared youthful yet erotic, exuding a decadent atmosphere.
「T,That’s… not a good idea…」
「Hmph, are you saying my plan is foolish? Who are you? A failure’s ARKS?」
「…”Failure”… Does Dark Falz have the ability to instantly judge the worth of ARKS?」
「Ha… What are you saying? Everything besides me… all ARKS are equally garbage, worthless junk with no value. I’m calling all of them ‘Failures.’ Whether it’s you or someone else, it doesn’t matter.」
「Ah, … um, … I-I see? Well then, I’ll… negotiate with you, that is…」
Levy was greatly surprised by Loser’s words. While Loser looked down on the ARKS, he did not criticize “Levy.” However, considering that this was Dark Falz, Levy decided to continue the negotiation.
Loser had lived for a long time by changing vessels. However, his current body was damaged, and while seeking a new vessel, his prepared vessel, Casra II, had rebelled.
Levy claimed that they could solve this problem and showed the Luther clone body that the team had provided. Loser was surprised but said that the idea of transferring into a new body was not foolish. However, he insisted that it would be quicker to possess Levy instead.
「Why… do you choose such a foolish idea?」
Levy, trying to find a way to persuade Loser, decided to provoke him. She forcibly knocked Loser unconscious and, with him in tow, attempted to return to the team and impose the negotiation on Dinan.
「Unfortunately… it’s impossible for you to possess me. Because I am strong.
…I’ll knock you out and take you back with me.」
When Loser realized that Levy was after Luther’s body, he immediately mocked her.
「HaHa…I thought you had such trivial ulterior motives.」
However, Levy misunderstood the meaning of ‘ulterior motive.’ She mistakenly thought it was a sexual innuendo and recalled how she had used Luther’s vessel for self-pleasure, causing her face to flush in embarrassment.
「”Ulterior motives”?! …N-no, …don’t say such lewd things!」
「Whats?」
Levy, flustered, attempted to attack Loser using EisenHeart, but she was completely ineffective. On the contrary, as she cut apart his statements and insulted him as a pervert, she was slammed to the ground.
「meaningless act...」
「Shut up! Just obediently follow me… you fool!!」
「Foolish ARKS, how loudly you bark. Who would follow a violent stray dog like you?”」
「HeHe,Really?」
「…! You can’t be…that’s impossible…!」
Levy decided to get serious and unleashed the power of EisenHeart. When Loser realized that the weapon she possessed was Cosmogenic Arms, he ignored Levy’s triumphant expression, confident of his complete victory, and began to think of a new solution.
「Well then… Preliminary calculation complete. I’ll change the plan.」
Saying this, Loser agreed to enter the clone vessel as Levy suggested. However, he also stated that Levy had some value to him.
「I don’t know how you obtained those Cosmogenic Arms… but I need to know everything about where you got that vessel, your photon-less body, and your arrogant claim of not being eroded by Darkers…」
And then, Levy was knocked out by Loser…
