Apocalypse

* Anime

**Apocalypse** (黙示録 (アポカリプソ) , **Apokaripuso**?), also known as the **Book of Revelations**, is the first artifact to be discovered in the world. It is a loyal servant of God. It works in conjunction with the Ark to operate the Quests.

## Overview

Apocalypse takes the form of a medium-sized book with a brown leather cover with gold plated corner. When the mandatory number of Negators gather around the roundtable of The Union, it gains a monstrous face along the spine and covers of the book, which consists of sharp teeth and a long tongue.

In the 100th loop, the number of Negators required was originally ten, but that rose to eleven after the completion of one of Apocalypse's quests.

In the 101st loop the number of Negators required was initially two, but has since risen to thirteen.

## Personality

Apocalypse possess an overall hostile and sadistic personality towards humanity and Negators, constantly trying to intimidate or mock them. It is very loyal and devoted to God, referring to Luna as "Exalted One", and laughing with glee as multiple Suns manifest before the Negators. However, it also holds the quests in the highest regards, as it shows disgust and contempt for Move interfering with the quest for Sick because Andy is too powerful for them, to the point it gives the Negators the reward in spite of them technically failing the quest, though it makes clear that they aren't friends.

Despite the above however, they deep down care about Juiz, and like Victor, doesn't want to see her fight anymore, as when her reincarnation's location is discovered, Apocalypse sets up a quest to destroy the world by either the Negators lose to the Master Rules, or face the penalty Revolution.

## Plot

### Unchange Arc

Apocalypse hovered above the roundtable at The Union's headquarters as Andy and Fuuko Izumo made their debut in the organization.

### Union Arc

Apocalypse is revealed to be buried underneath Stonehenge in the 101st loop, which is then unburied by Fuuko. They are then awakened by Fuuko to start the quests once more, only to find Fuuko passing on them, growing more and more frustrated as they are forced to spit out a total of 26 UMAs and fast forward time by 26 years as penalties as a result, all a part of Fuuko's plan to prevent all of the Negators' tragedies. They can only react in frustration when Fuuko finally agrees on a set of quest that offers them a third seat, Void, and Remember. When Void is brought back for the quest rewards, they express frustration over their success before getting punched by the boxer instinctively. After rewarding the Union for their success, they go back to sleep, but not before vowing to destroy the "lowly vessels" with their next set of quests.

### Sick Arc

Apocalypse shows up to sadistically explain the nature of the Master Rules, and how the first ten cannot be destroyed. Later, they question why Move interfered with the Quest for Sick, and curses them because they wanted "entertainment".

### Unburn Arc

Despite the Union not neutralizing Sick due to Move's interference, they did not add a penalty, and rewarded them the location of Unburn.

### Unjustice Arc

Apocalypse has a dream about a previous conversation they had with Juiz, explaining to her the nature of the loops' reincarnation. After waking up shortly before the start of the new round of quests, they overhear Fuuko and Nico talking about the location of Juiz's reincarnation. When the quests begin, they give out a set that includes two Master Rules, with the penalty for denying it being Revolution once again. Fuuko takes the quests, but apologizes to them. Confused, Fuuko states that just like Victor, Apocalypse doesn't want to see Juiz fight anymore, much to the artifact's indignation. When they ask how they can be so sure of what Juiz wants, she states she feel in love with "the same undying person", with more of the flashback revealing they and Juiz did have more of a friendship than previously believed, with the book going back to sleep afterwards to stew in their thoughts.
