    The 6th Herrscher[1]

    Herrscher of Death is the 6th Herrscher of the Previous Era.

    Appearance

    The Herrscher of Death has the appearance of a young-looking girl with short, dark hair. She wore a sleeveless white top with dark outlining and a gray skirt. She also wore the dark fabric as disconnected sleeves covering her upper arms.

    Story

    Three years after Kevin volunteered to join MOTH, the 6th Herrscher of the Previous Era appeared[1] with powers over death, life manipulation,[citation needed] and soul replacement.[3] When confronted, the Herrscher of Death still had human emotions, which made Kevin, who was sent to defeat her, hesitate, resulting in the loss of many people in the process.[2] This confrontation transformed Kevin into one of the best and most hardened soldiers of MOTH.[1]

    During the war against the 6th Herrscher, humanity lost more than half of its armed forces,[1] and the MOTH lost three of its branches.[4]
