An invasion before the eclipse opens Mashle's next major conflict, with the Divine Visionaries mounting the defense. The approaching date turns earlier preparation into a practical deadline. This is a starting point for that assault, but it relies on the established threat of Innocent Zero and the work that precedes it. Readers following the final stretch should treat the invasion as the beginning of a sustained crisis, not as a separate adventure with a fresh cast.

Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.

The demand to surrender an unconscious Mash turns public fear into an instrument of attack. Innocent Zero does not merely confront the Visionaries; after displaying his power, he pressures the population to hand over the person who cannot presently defend himself. That makes acceptance painfully conditional. A society may tolerate an outsider while he is useful, then reconsider when protecting him carries a cost. Meliadoul's attempt to restore Mash runs alongside that public pressure, placing medical dependence next to political vulnerability. The invasion tests who will protect him before he can return to being their protection.
