Chapter 6
The 2 influential existence in this world__
Star Children Malchut was taken away to Masinowa, as a result that country was destroyed.
Malchut whose self awareness hasn’t grown yet, doesn’t understand as to why the power sleep within her was unleashed, nor does she understand what resulted from that.
However, little by little the changing events etched firmly in her memory.
Days at Masinowa, all the people, and then Kukaru and Gijiri_______
From these memories qualia born, and awareness of self gradually formed.
Why does a great power sleep within her, and just what is the meaning of this power’s existence?
The power of chaos and ruin sleep within her, scream of bitterness people shout, the meaning of Kukaru’s actions____
Malchut is just unable to discover the meaning of her existence from all of those.
The enormous amount of awaken qualia, the formed emotions, and then various sad memories, tightly connected with unanswered question.
My power brings forth suffering__ People’s cries, Chaos___
I don’t know when this great power sleeping within me will unleash again___
Her existence bends the causality of the world and brings forth grief and need to be reverted back to nothingness. Malchut that starts to think so sense the strong power in contrary to her from Sky ship ruin and guided there.
There, the embodiment of Ristaccia’s power__
the red angel L’erisia lies in wait___
From The Epic of Zektbach chapter 6 “Malchut and L’erisia”
From Zektbach Guidebook:Chapter 6 is a story right after the destruction of Land of Gods Masinowa. It illustrates the conflict between Malchut that keeps troubled by the reason of her existence and L’erisia that sneer upon troubled Malchut. It is also a story that suggests in the occasion that Malchut falls into long slumber; Aria Te Laria continues being controlled by L’erisia.
Chapter 6Malchut that destroyed a nation with unstoppable power wanders through the land in ruins while she continues to distress.
What exactly is her existence?
Was she not supposed to disappear into the lake deep inside the island?
Unable to die or comes out with the answer she hears a voice.
“If you wish to revert everything to nothingness**, let’s meet at the ruins”
At the Sky ship ruin, a girl called herself the red angel waits for Malchut arrival.
The moment Malchut confronted L’erisia, the great power within her along with feelings of sorrow and hatred breaks out once more.
No. I have enough___ Stop, no more___
Even though she desperately tries to resist it, the power arises is unstoppable.
Countless roots of giant tree attack L’erisia, but she evades the attack breezily and draws her face near.
“Day of vicissitudes will no longer come”
Malchut that has exhausted her power turns into a big Lotus flower.
Commentary from TomosukeThis is episode of confrontation between Malchut who has destroyed a country, and L’erisia at Sky ship ruins. It’s hard to imagine the actual situation, but it’s basically like the crash between concept against concept. Malchut lost against L’erisia, but it is not the concept of ‘death’, she temporarily transforms into a giant Lotus flower and goes to slumber.
What is being told here is each Raison D’être of nature to human and meme to human. Both of them have been nestled together in human but this relationship is questioned once more. Additionally instead of Malchut being defeated by L’erisia, it is more of self-destruction. It is nothing but the way people relate to nature and human being questioned.

『第六章』は、神国マシノワ滅亡直後のストーリー。己の存在意義について悩み続けるマルクトと、そんな彼女を嘲笑うルエリシアとの対峙が描かれている。マルクとが長い眠りにつくキッカケであり、アリア・テ・ラリアがルエリシアに操られ続けていることをも示唆する物語でもある。
『第六章』
止められない力で国を滅ぼしてしまったマルクトは、
廃墟となった場所を彷徨い、悩み続ける。
自分の存在とは何なのか?
島の深い泉に入り消えるべきではなかったのか?
死ぬことも、答えを見つけることもできない彼女は声を聞く。
「すべてを無に帰そうと願うのなら、遺跡で私と逢いましょう」
空船の遺跡では赤き天使を名乗る少女・ルエリシアが
マルクトが訪れるのを待っていた。
ルエリシアと対峙した瞬間、マルクトの中にあった強大な力が
悲しみや憎悪といった感情と共に再び湧き上がってくる。
いやなの。もういやなの__。やめて、いや___
必死に抵抗するが、湧き上がる力は止められない。
無数の大樹の根がルエリシアを襲うが、
彼女は颯爽とその攻撃をかわし、顔を近づけてきた。
「もう、流転の日はこない」
力を使い果たしたマルクトは、大きな睡蓮の花になってしまう。
TOMOSUKE氏より解説
国を滅ぼしたマルクトが空船の遺跡でルエリシアと対峙するエピソードです。実際の様子を想像するのは難しいかもしれませんが、概念と概念がぶつかっているという感じです。マルクトはルエリシアに負けてしまいますが、彼女に死の概念はなく、一時的に大きな睡蓮の花に姿を変化させ休眠します。
ここで語られているのは、人間にとっての自然、そして人間にとってのミームという、それぞれのレゾンデートル(存在意義)ですね。両方ともそれまで人間の寄り添ってきたものですが、その関係性が再び問われたわけです。ちなみにマルクトはルエリシアに負けたというよりもほとんど自滅。それは自然と人間の関わり方疑問が生じたからということに他なりません。
