The reality that the real world is destroyed and that he and everyone he knows are just computer recreations of dead humans, has driven Kyo into an existential crisis. What's the point of living in the false peace of Maihama or fighting in the ruins of the real world when all of humanity has been dead for decades? But even as he pushes those closest to him away, he encounters new allies who help to explain that in the end even computer-generated ghosts like him are still real. As Kyo finally accepts who he is and the truth of the world, things finally start to look up for him. But there are still secrets to be learned, and a painful truth yet to be faced.

The Oceanus is now committed to the final operation, and untold dangers await them on the moon in the enemys base. Seemingly outnumbered and outmatched, Kyo and the others encounter both the sinister Naga and the Gardsorm traitor who created Shima. The question now is how can they get off the moon with the Maihama server and the resurrection system? In the end, Kyo is going to have to make the most difficult choice of all. Can he become a physical human and be truly aliveagain if it means leaving everyone he cares about behind in the server?

The Oceanus is rife with paranoia in the aftermath of Sin's boarding them. Now somebody has leaked the location of the Maihama server to the enemy, and Shizuno is the obvious suspect. But as more and more secrets are revealed, it's clear that there's more to Shizuno and Shima than they are willing to reveal. Unfortunately, both sides are moving toward the end game of this war, and Shima seems to be weakening with every passing hour. As the secrets of both the commander and the mysterious Shizuno are revealed, the Cerebrants are launched into a final desperate operation against the Gardsorm. If they succeed, it means the meta-bodies trapped in the servers can be made physical again. If they fail, the world will belong to the Gardsorm!

Death's shadow is falling over Kyo and the rest of the Oceanus crew. As Arque fights her final battle, Ryoko is drawn into the war as a new pilot. But the enemy's progress is steady and very, very fast, and soon Kyo and Ryoko find themselves at the mercy of the latest Gardsorm weapon. The results of the battle leave Kyo angry and demanding to know more about who they're fighting. At last, we learn the truth about what triggered the destruction of the human race.

Joy turns to anguish for Kyo and the Oceanus crew as their world literally comes to an end. While it looks like Ryoko can be resurrected, her data is too damaged to allow her to fully awaken in Maihama.

It will have to be reset, as it has been every 149 days for the past 40 years. Everyone except the Cerebrants will lose their memories of the past five months, and all personal progress will be lost. As Kyo and his friends fight for survival, he begins to doubt that their existence can really be called life at all.
