## Synopsis

Juiz welcomes Andy and Fuuko to the team, where Tatiana quickly attacks him for killing Gina, but Juiz manages to calm them down. As they sit on the roundtable, Juiz calls Apocalypse, who announces six quests for capturing UMA Burn, UMA Eat, neutralizing UMA Language, capturing Negator Unseen, and capturing UMA Past and Spoil. As a penalty for not doing the quests, Apocalypse will add UMA Galaxy. Juiz tells Nico to analyze and he proposes they focus on the first three quests prioritizing Burn and give up on Spoil as they lack information for it. Top tells Fuuko that Apocalypse is the first artifact found on Earth and when they sit on the roundtable it gives them unreasonable impossible quests, if they do them, they receive a reward, but if they fail, they receive a penalty. Fuuko wonders why they should play that game, but Juiz explains that 98 times rules were added to Earth and even if they don't get involved, every three months a new rule will be added. But this way they can strengthen themselves and kill the god that forces that game and rules to them. Andy asks Apocalypse which is the hardest quest and as he says its Spoil, he decides to take it with Fuuko and Shen.

Preparing to head out for the quest, Shen wants Fuuko and Andy to wear The Union uniforms as they have benefits, but Andy is against it. They hear an alarm about escaped UMA and Mui reveals its Clothes that latches on people and turns to their most desired garment and then takes control of them. Being on the same floor, Clothes attacks Andy, who knocks Clothes host, and Clothes takes over Mui, but Fuuko using her unluck manages to knock her out. Clothes then goes after Fuuko, but Andy gets in his way and Clothes latches on him, but soon ranges about his absurd desire to have clothes that repair themselves and come out when he calls them. Andy somehow manages to tame the UMA and make him his servant. They hear news about rotting corpse wandering in New York, believing to be related to Spoil and they head out for the United States.

Reaching Nevada, Shen reveals to be riding the truck on top of it as Andy attempted to leave him behind. Shen explains that Spoil essentially means to decay or rot away, so the town they are headed Longing, should be full of zombies and they would be facing Spoil and his zombie army. They stop for the night as Fuuko can't fall asleep, Shen approaches her and assures her they will defeat Spoil, but she tells him she wants to help out as the reward is the location of Negator Unrepair and that may be a clue to Andy receiving the death he wants.

Getting close to Longing, they see a wall surrounding it and Andy blows a hole in it, causing zombies to escape, but then runs them over with the truck and plunges the hole with the truck. He then lunges in the air and tells the zombies he will be killing lots of them, but if anyone still has a brain and will tell them where Spoil is to duck. As he cuts dozens of zombie heads, he sees one female zombie had ducked. He takes her to Fuuko and Shen, but Shen reminds him, he needs to be more cautious, as UMA are not like negators, they are the rules themselves and the majority of them activate their ability once you are within range. Clothes then tells Andy that he has a number on his stomach and they figure out he was affected by Spoil already and as the timer runs out, he will turn to zombie. When it reaches zero, Andy starts to spoil, but his healing activates and he spoils and heals nonstop. Andy starts to understand what the female zombie says and she tells him she will tell him where Spoil is if he marries her and he agrees. Going to the church and getting in a wedding dress, she tells him this was her dream and then asks him to kill all the zombies and then points at an angel statue telling him to kill that thing as well. Andy then cuts the statue, revealing to be the face of Spoil, who is annoyed that Andy isn't spoiling and realizes he is a negator. Andy then starts fighting Spoil, telling the zombies he will be taking Spoil down and they are free to join him.

Meanwhile, Fuuko sees some kids hiding in the underground and goes to them. They point a gun at her, thinking that Spoil sends her to kill them and turn them to zombies, and that's why she keeps standing outside his curse range, but Fuuko then rushes in and takes the kid's gun, while also gets cursed. She explains they are from the Union and are there to help and asks him what happened. Ken reveals that about a week ago, a dark ball appeared in the middle of the town and said it was an easy to spoil place and will start with the people, and then everyone received numbers and started turning to zombies. Their teacher led to them to the underground, telling them she won't die until she marries a handsome man and that they won't spoil until they have dreams. One of the kid's number starts to decrease and Ken reminds it of his dream, which causes the number to increase greatly. They hear tremors and go outside and see Andy and the zombies fighting Spoil. He gives them the female zombie, which turns to be Ken's teacher and the kids hug her. A zombie then accidentally touches Fuuko and as he gets on Spoil, it causes an incident hurting himself and Spoil. Seeing that Andy announced that if the zombies touch Fuuko, they will turn into bombs and will harm Spoil more than they have been doing so far. The female zombie then hugs Fuuko and runs towards Spoil, who grabs her, but slips and falls into a building full of gunpowder and causes a big explosion.

Fuuko starts touching zombies, who rush at Spoil and cause additional explosions. Spoil then inhales the rest of the zombies and transforms into phase two and shoots a beam that disintegrates the Statue of Liberty from few miles away. Andy jumps in to fight him, but realizes that Spoil now has a field around him that causes anything to start decomposing, and gets knocked down. Spoil realizes this is a quest and is annoyed that Apocalypse is meddling with his plans. He tells Fuuko that before he was born, there was no decay in the world, but now people don't take life for granted and do their best to live even one more day. He wonders why she is so attached to her body and she explains it because she has a dream of being a normal girl. As she shares her dream, her numbers increase. Shen then comes with Nyoi-Kinko Staff, commenting that he can reach it with it and starts attacking Spoil from distance, while extending the staff. Shen activates his ability and Spoil starts to wonder why his body isn't listening to him as Shen's ability causes him to do the opposite of what he wants to do. Spoil is angered such ability exist, Untruth, but for activating it, Shen needs to get fond of his target. Seeing the overwhelming strength of Spoil, Shen is excited as that way he may meet Victor. Shen explains that they need to take out the core of Spoil, but they need to stop his spoil ability first. Andy starts to think, explaining the decomposition happens due to bacteria and moisture in the air and Fuuko suggests space where there is no moisture. But as Spoil is too strong, Shen suggests Andy remove his card and as he agrees, Shen extends his staff to send both Spoil and Andy into space.

In space, Spoil tries to disintegrate Andy, but he regenerates instantly and his hair grows and becomes darker. He shoots two of his fingers and they regenerate into copies of himself and cuts Spoil to piece and takes its core. As he comes back to Earth, Shen tells Mui to beam away Spoil. Andy feels like a different person and explains they can't kill him and tries to attack Fuuko, but Shen stops him and calls him Victor. Victor tells him that he is just human and not a god, and easily beats Shen even though he was using his ability. Shen says he won't be able to keep the promise to Andy to beat Victor, but calls the rest of the Union members to help. As they start fighting him, Top takes Fuuko and Shen to a different place. Hearing they don't have a specific plan to stop him and Gina was the one that stopped him the last time, Fuuko takes Andy's card and heads back, having no choice Top goes back with her. When they are back, they see Victor had created copies of himself and is fighting with each Union member. She figures out who the real one is and latches on him, touching as much skin as she can in an attempt to cause big unluck. She explains that she dislikes him and will take more time, while if it was Andy it would be only seconds. The Union then decides to protect her until she can bring back Andy just for a moment. They start protecting her from Victor's attacks and eventually, she feels something in her pocket and takes out a gun and shoots Victor in the scar, commenting the other copies don't have a scar and this must be the place he keeps Andy locked. She puts her finger in the hole, preventing him from regenerating the injury and calls for Andy. Victor's left side then turns into Andy, who kisses Fuuko and tells her they will continue later. Feeling completely embarrassed, she runs away and tells everyone to do so too as a big stroke of unluck is coming. Victor doesn't intend to let them go, but Shen is able to see Victor as he had lifted himself up with his staff and manages to activate his ability. Victor comments its been a long time since he was defeated by a person and in that moment multiple meteorites hit the top and decimate it. Fuuko then comes back and finds Victor's burnt body and sticks Andy's card back.
