No, our side—Paradise.
They've stopped the forced requisitions and everything. I wonder if Lady Alter is finally working for our sake.

Not a chance. Look at her track record—we've been oppressed no matter how much we appealed to her.

Is this for real? What does Clearance Level V even mean?

Disaster Clearance Level V. It's the category for events where the continuation of civilization and the survival of the human race are deemed nearly impossible. In other words, it’s a crisis that threatens the very existence of Paradise.

I wish that were the case...
It's Lady Alter herself who’s destroying Paradise.

"Mommy... what's that?"
"Let me see... what?"
An army of death spread out as if to trample everything in its path. What this mother and child saw was merely the tail end of it.
However... behind the march that eliminated and annihilated everything in accordance with its orders, not a single stalk of reed remained. Not even a footprint was left behind.
The slaughter proceeded swiftly, day and night without a moment's rest, until the entire world was leveled into a barren wasteland.
"No way..."
The place that had been her village only a moment ago was being reduced to cinders—ashes filled with memories—in the blink of an eye.
The mother hallucinated. She saw white wings spreading from the backs of each and every one of the units.
Believing this to be the will of a heavenly messenger, her mind snapped instantly. She devolved into a mere husk of flesh that could do nothing but offer prayers.
"Mom... my?"
The Lica series continued their work, chanting their litanies until she lost consciousness and forgot how to breathe. But they could not stop there.
The people of Paradise were still waiting for their liberation.
