Foresta arc

The **Foresta arc** is the eleventh story arc of the Edens Zero series and the second arc in the Aoi Cosmos Saga.

The Crew of Edens have found their first Relic, one of many artifacts scattered across the cosmos that could lead them to Mother. The Relic's Ether guides the crew to the next Relic on the Verdant Planet of Foresta, only to find it caught in a robot uprising! The crew decide to take care of the virus that's driving the robots insane, putting them in direct conflict with the ruthless minions of Poseidon Nero—supreme ruler of the Aoi Cosmos and one of the Oración Seis Galáctica—sent to destroy the robots. With the planet in chaos, can the crew undo the virus before it affects every last machine on Foresta?
