Garden of Wilted Thoughts

Garden of Wilted Thoughts (枯れた思考の庭, Kareta Shikō no Niwa, Garden of Withered Thoughts) is the 9th sub-chapter of Zero Legends, and the 107th sub-chapter overall. It was introduced in Version 13.1 and is available up to difficulty.
==Difficulty==
This subchapter is quite similar to Depths of My Heart in that it has relatively easy stages overall, except for the final stage, which drops a Legend Cat and is nearly impossible without insane amounts of strategy or powerful anti-Floating units such as a high-level Octopus Cat.
Forest of Irony is the easiest stage in the chapter, whilst by far, the hardest stage is Adherence to Virtue.
==New Features==
The Sage enemy type is introduced here. Sage is a unique typing that works like Colossal and Behemoth, but also has the gimmick of resisting most special effects inflicted by Cat Units, with the exception of Sage Slayers.
This sub-chapter introduces 3 enemies to Zero Legends:
*Haterbaa 2.0: A Metal variant of Baa Baa from the Lovesick Again event. A peon that has low health, but rapidly dishes out strong, single-target strikes.
*Red Cyclone: A Red/Floating Cyclone from Crimson Catastrophe. Basically a much deadlier One Horn, it has high health and attacks non-stop, dealing lethal damage from point-blank range.
*Sage of Mind Soractes: A Floating/Sage enemy with fast movement speed and attack rate. He boasts an enormous 34k DPS and four million health. On top of that, he has an effective range of 430 and a 30% chance to Freeze Cats, making him a very potent first boss for Zero Legends.
This sub-chapter also includes a new obtainable unit, Master of Mind Soractes. He has a 3% chance to drop from the final stage (100% if a Treasure Radar is used).

==Trivia==
*Garden of Wilted Thoughts is the last of the 8 Zero Legends sub-chapters to use a jumbled up and mirrored map of Japan. These 8 sub-chapters have a combined total of 48 stages, just like a Main Chapter; the 48th stage, Adherence to Virtue, even has a unique boss and reward.
**These sub-chapters may specifically represent the Japanese version of Empire of Cats, which takes place across the 47 prefectures of Japan and Iriomote Island rather than various countries and the Moon.
*Garden of Wilted Thoughts' Japanese name, Kareta Shikō no Niwa (枯れた思考の庭, "Garden of Withered Thoughts"), is a possible reference to Gunpei Yokoi's famous philosophy, Kareta Gijutsu no Suihei Shikō (枯れた技術の水平思考, "Lateral Thinking of Withered Technology").
