←Zero Series | Evolution Prime (Story) | Sorrow→
Evolution Prime is the twenty-sixth chapter. All ice-elemental enemies take significantly reduced damage from ice-based attacks. Some will even absorb the full damage to heal.

"Sire."
"Why have you come?"
"We are up to the task."
The man who stands before you is a king--sovereign lord of the Oxsecian people. His stern reply is stern.
"You've no need to know. Withdraw, Zero Series."
"But..."
"Our prey..."
"You deny us--"
Without blinking, the king cuts them down mid-sentence.
"Do not mistakes your place and purpose."
Meanwhile, your party has made a desperate getaway and reached the bottom of the cliff.
There you find a sight for sore eyes: a familiar-looking condola.
Pepropé guides you onward.
"Go. Go to the heart of this planet."

Note: You will face the king in this battle. I don't know if he can be killed but, to advance to the next battle, you only have to kill the other enemy units. The king is a monsterous boss. He has a row(1) attack that will kill many characters in 1 hit and the AI has improved targeting to do the most damage (unlike the AI you may have seen in other battles). Good luck and happy hunting here!
26.3[]

"Enough."
Sheathing his sword, the king begins walking straight for the gondola behind you.
Your party gives way before him like a parting sea, each of you sensing that barring his path would mean death.
"Wait!"
A lone girl stands there.
"Who are you?"
She remains silent, but realization dawns on the king's face.
"So, that report from the field was about you."
"It seems you do remember me, Father."
She is a princess culled from the gene pool 2,000 years ago.
"36AIS... But I slew you with my own hand!"
The king relates the following:
Animatas harvest DNA to create new life.
In the beginning, the pinnacle of evolution was always a woman, and she was dubbed queen.
These queens were born to serve as an Animata's lifecore. It was encoded in their genes.
That genetic imprint was essentially the ignition to activate an Animata.
But this power was extremely weak in the king's daughter, 36AIS.
It was an unmistakable and utterly unacceptable defect.
"What do you want with this planet?"
The king ignores his daughter's question..
Small, shadowy figures emerge behind her. They bear an uncanny resemblance to the girl.
Understanding dawns on the king as he takes them in with a glance.
"Defective beings can never reach the pinnacle of evolution, no matter how many you produce."
With that, he nonchalantly boards the gondola and vanishes without a backward glance.
Palpa turns to 36AIS.
You suspect she's already sensed something.
"And you are...?"
"I was a daughter of the king. Until that day, that is."
"And the others?"
"They, too, are his daughters in a sense--my doppelgangers, if you will."
The crowd of miniature beings stares straight at you. They are clones of 36AIS.
"You must go after the king."
"Have you lose your mind, Pepropé? We couldn't survive another clash with that monstrosity"
"He seeks this planet's Animata. 36AIS, you must know this. Will you show us the way?"
"...I Will."
The gondola opens once more, revealing itself to be empty. The king is already gone.
"Let's go."
The party boards the gondola, with Palpa and 36AIS in the lead.
