As revealed in the previous episode, Cell War had gone after Mash. Hence, Mash asked him why the Innocent Zero group was after him. In response, Cell War revealed that Innocent Zero wanted to use the Forbidden Magic of Body Construction to make himself immortal. The magic used the hearts of blood relatives to create an immortal heart. Thus, Mash was a being created to help Innocent Zero become immortal.
