Forced out of Cavern Quest, he found himself on the surface again. He was floating in the air, looking down at a completely changed world. Most of it had been overrun by the Seyla, making it more or less impossible for people to survive. The few who had stayed on the surface had almost all been infected already, and those who had just been ejected from Van’s game would soon face the same fate.

Erasing the Seyla and rebuilding humanity was possible, but it seemed like it would be an exhausting amount of work.

...

Yogiri used his power. The Seyla chasing the crystalline dog toppled, collapsing around them and all over the world.

“Wait, didn’t you say dealing with the Seyla was going to be difficult?” Tomochika asked.

“I said killing the Seyla separate from the people it infected would be difficult. I didn’t bother to distinguish between them just now. I killed them all together.”

“It does not appear the infected possessed any hints of their former selves,” Mokomoko observed. “I cannot imagine there was much one could do for them, even were they to be cured.”

“Okay! So we just killed them because they attacked us! No problem, then!” Maybe out of concern for Yogiri, Tomochika seemed to force herself to agree.

“We’re out of immediate danger, but now what do we do? Oh, we’ve been to that station before, right?”

Looking around, they saw a familiar structure. Yogiri remembered the army of some foreign nation having attacked it.
