Zenshu episode 4 recap

Episode 4 of the Zenshu anime, titled Eternity, began with Luke Braveheart and his team discussing the possibility of a traitor being among them, especially since disguising a Void monster to look like the priest and letting it into the town seemed like the work of a magic user.

Natsuko, on the other hand, knew from the events of 'A Tale of Perishing' movie that the said traitor was none other than Memmeln, one of Luke's trusted friends and a member of the Nine Soldiers. In the movie's original story, the reason for Memmeln's betrayal was never explained. Therefore, Natsuko decided to follow Memmeln to discover her motivations for betraying her team and the Last Town.

However, Luke soon caught Natsuko. After she explained the situation to him, they both followed Memmeln to a cemetery, where the choir apparently held their practice. Upon entering a hidden cave in the cemetery, Natsuko and Luke witnessed something neither could have prepared for — Memmeln and her "choir" members were practicing a ritual to summon the Ultimate Void.

After processing the sight before them, Luke tried to interrupt and confront Memmeln. Fortunately, Natsuko stopped him and suggested they should devise a plan first. The two retreated for the day and started discussing their next move.

The next day, Natsuko and Luke confronted Memmeln about her ritual to summon the Ultimate Void. Memmeln, realizing that she could no longer hide her deepest secret, revealed that she and her choir members wanted to summon the Ultimate Void to bring an end to their world since they no longer wanted to prolong their suffering of living an eternal life.

In the episode's climax, Natsuko and Luke devised a plan to stop Memmeln. However, things quickly went south when they realized that Memmeln was planning to fast-track her plan of summoning the Ultimate Void.

Therefore, to give Memmeln a new reason for living, Natsuko used her powers to create an idol known as the Ultimate Exister, who managed to change Memmeln's heart. With this, the climactic episode came to an end.
