From the New World.Saki realizes that the Fiend is the human child of Maria and Mamoru who was conditioned to think that it was a Queerat and by Yakomaru. Thus, it would only suffer "death feedback" from killing Queerats and not from killing humans. Kiroumaru then disguises himself as a human and confronts the Fiend which kills him, but Kiroumaru then reveals his identity as a Queerrat and "death feedback" kills the Fiend. With the rebellion suppressed, Yakomaru renounces his title and addresses himself again as Squealer. He is tried and sentenced to "Eternal Hell", with his body suffering excruciating pain while being regenerated indefinitely. Satoru later reveals to Saki that he has discovered that Queerats were created by infusing mole rat DNA into ordinary humans to prevent them from being a threat to those humans with telekinesis. Saki then visits Squealer and grants him a merciful death. Ten years pass, and the now married Saki and Satoru expect their first child, both positive that by the time it grows up, the world will be a better place.
