Today, Chevalier revealed the initial results of the new E-Pandora Project, which have been shrouded in mystery up until now.
Her power is determined equal to that of a normal Pandora,
and she can incarnate Volt Weapons, and possesses High End Skills.
Are you watching it again, Dr. Aoi?
I hope that my feeling of anxiety is unfounded.
Implanting artificial Stigma into an ordinary girl without a compatible body causes a large burden.
But to use nano-machines called Mark IV to activate it...
There's a limit to how unreasonable they can be.
That means that you don't approve of E-Pandora...
as Chevalier's most powerful Pandora on active duty...
Lee Su-Na-kun?
No.
I chose this way of life so my children wouldn't have to go onto the battlefield.
If this world becomes a place where we are send those we want to protect to the battlefield to be hunt down,
then why am I a Pandora?
So you can think like that too...
I'll get it.
No.
It's fine.
It's me.
Howard el Bridget?
What kind of business does the head of the el Bridget Family have with me?

Mark IV re-administration?
The last unfortunate accident was indeed bad luck,
but unexpected situations are an invaluable part of our research.
Those girls, the E-Pandoras, should know that too.
But the improvement of Mark IV wasn't completed!
About that...
I improved it based on my own judgement.
What's the meaning of this?!
I'm chief executive, and you did it without my approval!
Haven't you misunderstood your position?
The public wants to see a third and fourth successful case.
It's fine to lose a few E-Pandoras, who are nothing more than test subjects, for the sake of that.
Replacements will arrive in a few days.
It seems like the experiments of administering Mark IV into E-Pandoras will be restarted.
So the story about the E-Pandora who changed into a Nova because of Mark IV and was disposed of is...
A fake, right?
Unfortunately, it's not a fake!
Charles!
It's true that I disposed of an E-Pandora who was administered with Mark IV.
So there's no need for you to have groundless suspicions,
because I don't care about it all.
She changed into a Nova.
And disposing of Novas is our mission as Pandoras.
In other words, I've done my duty.
But isn't it strange to restart dangerous experiments that can turn humans into Novas?
Can we really trust what they're doing at this research institute?
Please don't say the same thing as that zombie woman.
As I thought, the E-Pandora Project is suspicious!
Our job as Pandoras isn't to question orders from superiors.
We just have to obey.
What's the meaning of this, Rator?
A-Amelia.
Did something happen?
What?
Amelia Evans would like to meet with you.
Let her in.
I've heard about it from Rator,
that she was chosen as the next subject to be administered with Mark IV.
Right.
Mark IV is a fraud.
Jina said that and died.
Are you still planning on continuing experiments with something like this?
Mark IV was improved.
There are extreme improvements in its stability,
and there's no need to worry about side effects.
That's what you're trying to say again?
Yeah.
Then, please make me the test subject instead.
I ask you to use my body for experimentation,
and administrate it into Rator when the usage of Mark IV is proven to be safe.
Rator will take part in the experiment according to plan.
You're saying that you won't consider it?
I don't have the authority to make the decision.
Theoretically, even if Chevalier thinks of you as nothing more than guinea pigs,
it's all for the sake of humanity.
I knew it...
I knew it, but...
Hey, Rox.
Don't you think that this research institute is suspicious?
I think so...
But that midget said...
"They call that paranoia."
She also said this:
It's our duty as Pandoras to obey our superiors' orders without question.
I'm not buying into that.
Right!
What's the point of dying for nothing?
But fighting with Novas is the same as receiving the order to die.
Do you know how many Pandoras died during the 10th Nova Clash?
What are Novas?
Sorry for asking a silly question.
It's not silly.
It's true that humans don't know much about Novas, besides the fact that they're our enemies.
Besides, we can't communicate with them at all, and they go rampant when they come.
They show up all of a sudden, and after a certain amount of time, they become dimensionally compressed, and...
Boom!
Who knows what they're thinking.
Don't tell me that they'll show up here.
If this place gets destroyed, then it'll be a worldwide disaster.
The nuclear power reactor in this facility was called Photon Generator?
Yeah.
I heard that twenty years' worth of solar energy is stored there.
Even if you tell me that, it's hard for me to imagine...
Then what about a destructive power one hundred million times stronger than a nuclear bomb?
Eh, that isn't any better.
As I thought.
Right!
Why did they manufacture something so dangerous just to supply this research institute with energy?
Have you heard of the Tower of Babel?
Why the random question?
You mean the tower that humans built to get closer to God...
...which He destroyed because He got mad?
What about it?
Theoretically, if the Tower of Babel were something realised by human wisdom...
Then Novas who appear to destroy it are...
Wait!
Then Novas are...
Are they really our enemies?
You're...
Can I speak with Miss Mably alone?
I'm sorry, but right now, she's not fit to handle a normal conversation.
I don't mind, even if it's just for a little bit.
There's something I want to tell her directly, no matter what.
Please.
I'll leave for a while.
Thank you.
But you are one of the few women I respect from the bottom of my heart.
You're one of the few precious people I respect from the bottom of my heart.
The experiment of administering Mark IV wasn't closed.
Again, one of my precious comrades is about to be used as a guinea pig.
That's why I plan to fight for the sake of my compatriots, like you did!
Farewell, Elizabeth!
We'll meet here in ten minutes.
We're not going together?
If we use separate routes to escape,
then the chances of avoiding a pursuit will be higher.
B-But...
And if some are unable to arrive at the meeting point, then we'll leave without waiting.
Rator!
I-I got it.
They should be back by now...
Who should?
Oh, you're the Godspeed of the East.
I want you to answer my question.
I mean Satellizer-san.
Satellizer isn't here?
She left because she was injured, and they couldn't treat her at here.
Were her injuries serious?
Seems like she had a quarrel with Elizabeth-san.
With Elizabeth Mably?
Her family's going through awful things, right?
Not only her family.
Don't tell me, even Elizabeth herself?
W-Well...
I haven't seen her for a few days.
S-Stop it, Youlia Moonberg-kun!
You're Nipples of Iraqi.
Maverick of Walpurgis!
I'm German!
More importantly, what happened to Elizabeth?
No way.
It's expected that you're surprised,
but it's all true!
Not only did they make Eli-senpai suffer through such awful things,
but her family too!
This is Chevalier's way of doing things!
Where are you going?
I'm not interested in this, so I'll leave.
You're not interested?
You don't feel anything as a fellow Pandora?
What am I supposed to feel?
I'd feel something if you would keep me company, though.
Dr. Aoi!
Please look at this!
It's a genome map of the Holy Corpse of Maria Lancelot!
I've solved it!
With this, her power is ours!
Doctor?
It's been said that the Lord comes down occasionally to see the city and tower built by his children.
People are one and they all share one language,
so nothing will stop them.
And because of that, the city was called Babel.
Are you saying that what I'm doing is akin to building the Tower of Babel?
God castigated the building of the Tower of Babel.
And it produced chaos because the world now had languages while there should be no more than one.
What're you trying to say?
You don't have any idea?
You want to say that's the relationship between Novas and humans?
Novas are some kind of form of divine punishment?
In that case, Maria is a god?
Stop talking nonsense!
Because of compatibility tests, the number of selected girls with Stigma-compatible bodies is declining!
Furthermore, it's impossible to mass-produce Pandoras,
so decoding Maria's genes and duplicating th-
Ohara-kun!
That would be blasphemous.
Blasphemous?
What do you think Maria is?
The name of the woman who gave birth to God...
The name of the goddess from ancient times who brought salvation to humankind...
You have those names for that holy corpse!
What the hell is she to you?
You're actually-
Get out!
Get out of my research institute.
Miss Scarlet Ohara.
Even now, I don't think I was wrong.
Aoi Gengo, you believed in Maria.
No!
Even more than that!
Maria's power must be under human control.
It must be!
Wait, Jina!
Volt Weapon expansion.
Who would've thought that they would make such a foolish decision...
In actuality, it's what I hoped for!
E-Pandora invaders at the research room!
Chevalier's members and Pandoras have to dispose of them!
I repeat!
E-Pandora invaders at the research room!
Rator!
Why?
I predicted that you'd want to sacrifice yourself so we can escape!
We're irreplaceable friends who met here.
That's what you said.
That's why I definitely won't leave my friend just so I can live!
I'm going too!
We're all going to where Jina is!
Don't move!
Move aside, Amelia.
Volt Weapon expansion.
I always dreamed about being able to incarnate Volt Weapon freely.
In the moment that I prepare myself for death, I finally become...
...a true Pandora!
I got it, Rator.
It's my fate to die, anyway.
To not repeat Jina's tragedy...
...and to end the E-Pandora Project...
We'll tell the world about the inhumane things that occurred here and then die!
Dr. Ohara should have experimental records, Amelia.
Leave it to us and go, Amelia.
Please take care of it.
I won't let you go any further, even if it costs me my life!
One of the world's five strongest...
Now I'll dispose of the target that was ordered to be crushed.
I couldn't see her attack.
Save me, Jina.
Are you planning to side with traitors?
It's not like that.
Then why?
I felt what you're fighting for.
To protect precious things!
