Chapter 110

**A Robot in Love** (恋する機械 *Koisuru Kikai*) is the 110th chapter of Hiro Mashima's *Edens Zero*.

As the crew wait, they hear Nadia's story of the past and her love. Witch returns with Laguna, who aids them in reaching the end of the chamber.

## Summary

At the Temple of the Mother Beacon beneath the sea, the crew await for Witch's return. Shiki questions Nadia on what the nature of the clue is but Nadia simply states that it is something they will have to discover for themselves and that she cannot tell them because it is a secret. Rebecca thinks about the robot corpses that they found outside and asks Nadia about them since they appeared to have been there for some time. Nadia reveals that the temple housed a treasure long ago which contained a beacon that would guide travelers to Mother. Pino asks what happened to the treasure. Nadia explains that the treasure was stolen 200 years ago, and that without the Ether radiating from it, the machines of the planet had no source of power and shut down, including herself, until a human engineer named Andrew repaired her by connecting her to the large cable which sustains her life. Her emotional state as she describes Andrew leads Homura to ask Nadia if she loved him and Nadia essentially confirms it while still trying to avoid saying it outright due to her embarassment. Weisz is skeptical of humans and androids being in love which he attributes to his origins from 50 years ago, ignoring that Nadia is even older than him. Rebecca ponders more on the crashed spaceship they found bearing Nadia's name and asks what happened to Andrew. Nadia states that he left 200 years ago to reclaim the treasure and that she is awaiting his return. Rebecca quickly stops Shiki from accidentally revealing that humans cannot live that long since she does not want to shatter Nadia's faith in their promise together. Nadia finishes off by saying that though the treasure is stolen, the beacon still remains which is how Ziggy was able to get the clue to find Mother long ago.

Witch arrives to the temple, accompanied by Laguna which shocks Rebecca. Laguna agreed to help Witch in exchange for a condition which Witch agreed to, assuring him that she will not forget to fulfill that condition. The others are untrusting, due to their past encounter with him under Drakken's orders. Laguna defends himself, saying he did not know he was so old and that the Dark Alchemist needed Ether masters of each element to balance his own. He adds that they cut the elements from him and destroyed his life support device, saying that is how they beat him and that Drakken was not at full strength. Rebecca defends Laguna from the others, saying that he was the only one decent to her in the previous world. Laguna recognizes her and realizes she jumped in time, he brushes his defeat before and states he is here to help under a contract with Witch. Before entering the chamber, Witch asks Nadia if Ziggy was accompanied by anyone before, to which she answer that he was alone. In the chamber, the flames start up again. Witch lays out the plan, first needing to turn Shiki into water, then coating him in her Ether to maintain his shape, and then he uses his gravity powers to go through the cave. Laguna notes how the fire is so hot that any water would evaporate, though he reluctantly activates his Ether Gear, saying that they need Shiki to cry. Witch scares Shiki by making him think there is a bug, which she then coats his water form with Ether. With this, Shiki uses his powers to go through the flames. Laguna wonders why he cannot just push the flames down, which Witch assumes that the Ether of the place prevents him from doing so. Shiki manages to get through the flames of the cave, and finds a chamber filled with Ether. A voice says that a part of them was once in the chamber, despit its loss, the Ether remains. The voice continues and says to follow this Ether, to show the path to them. The Ether forms together into a figure, where the voice states that they are the matriarch of the cosmos, Mother.
