## Summary

### Day 140: December 11, 2033

Xuanyu forcefully kicks the Doomgaders out of Izuzunu, throwing them into the woods and taking away their weapons. The Doomgaders, now defenseless, are forced to leave and run through the forest at night. Meanwhile, Cyfty warns them about the dangers of brutes in the dark. As a kalkrut falls victim to zombies, pleas for help are heard. Xuanyu closes his eyes with indifference, and George walks away from the scene.

Jun is at the graveyard burying Piller, expressing frustration and regret over his death. He reflects on the possibility of preventing Piller's demise if they had met earlier. While carving a stone, Jun is surprised by the sudden onset of snowfall, finding it beautiful. Helena joins him in the cemetery. Jun enthusiastically reacts to the unusual weather. When Helena inquires about Piller, Jun reveals that Piller blamed humans in Novishi for the death of his children, initially seeking revenge but ultimately changing his perspective due to Jun's influence. Jun contemplates how the world can be so beautiful, yet so violent and cruel. Suddenly, Leo and Moon appear behind the three-meter wall that wraps around the cemetery. Jun, startled by the Chaos Team members, draws his sword and questions their presence. Leo, with a stern face, and Moon, smiling, claim they only want to observe. Jun proposes a deal, offering them powerful items and free meals at SukiSushi for life if they join his side. After some hesitation and excitement, Leo and Moon agree to the deal. Jun is unsure if he made the right choice but decides to trust them for now. Meanwhile, a Chaos Team member named Merp observes the entire exchange from atop the trees, noting the significance of the deals. The question lingers about whether Leo and Moon are friends or foes.

Jun invites Leo and Moon into his house, and they express their thoughts on its cleanliness and size. They follow Jun to his basement in God's Kingdom, where he reveals an organized room with storage shelves, tables, a sofa, stoves, and six sets of armor. Jun hands over the armor, and Leo and Moon express gratitude. They remove their weaker armor and don the new sets, feeling powerful. Jun questions their loyalty, and Leo assures him they won't betray him, emphasizing their commitment to fighting against Toast. They shake hands, sealing the deal to collaborate against their common enemy. Merp unexpectedly appears in Jun's basement, claiming he means no harm. Jun and Moon react with suspicion, and Jun accuses Moon of bringing Merp. Both Moon and Merp deny any collaboration, and Merp surrenders by dropping his weapons. Jun is perplexed by the frequent attempts of Chaos Team members to join his side. Jun questions Merp's motives, suspecting they might be trying to trick him. Merp insists he genuinely wants to switch sides, revealing that his association with Chaos Team originated from a friendship with Toast that soured due to Toast's actions. Merp expresses a desire to distance himself from Toast and offers a handshake to signify his sincerity. Jun remains surprised and conflicted about the motives of Toast's members. Merp reassures Jun that he won't harm anyone in the Izuzunu Kingdom, then exits the house. Jun remains skeptical, and Moon introduces Merp, to which Jun responds dismissively.

### Day 141: December 12, 2033

Xuanyu enters his old house next to the election stage and expresses nostalgia about the "good old days." Nugget joins the conversation, reminiscing about the time before the incident involving wood; the Wood War. Xuanyu mentions the new threat, Toast, as they consider breaking down the house. Jun approaches Xuanyu, expressing a desire to have the old house. Xuanyu agrees but warns him about the need for cleaning due to its current state. Jun accepts the condition and decides to keep the house, preventing its destruction by Xuanyu, Nugget, and 07. After hours of cleaning and organizing Xuanyu's old house, Jun is confronted by Toast, who unexpectedly appears upstairs. Toast shoves Jun down the stairs, inflicting pain. Toast, wielding a dynamite bomb, laughs menacingly and threatens Jun with a sword, demanding information about the drip. Jun rushes upstairs, alarmed. Toast sets up a bomb with delicate wires, making Jun's efforts to clean the house seemingly futile. Toast points his sword at Jun's neck, demanding information, and reveals his intent to use the drip without destroying the kingdom. Jun faces an internal dilemma, realizing that revealing the information might have severe consequences for the world. Jun reluctantly discloses the location of the drip to Toast, describing it as a huge hole in the flat lands Far East. Toast expresses gratitude and promptly decides to destroy Jun's house. He leaps out of the window, shooting an arrow at the bomb in mid-air. The resulting explosion obliterates the house, sending shrapnel everywhere. Jun attempts to reach Toast in vain as the fiery shockwave consumes the entire structure. The second floor is heavily damaged, and the roof collapsed. Jun, caught in the explosion, falls to the first floor, witnessing the destruction of his home. He lies in pain on the floor, observing the flames and devastation, his body eventually bursting into flames and anger.
