The Entoma Scourge is a scourge plagueing World's Odyssey and the reason alot of the code, areas and NPCs do not work as intended in Death end re;Quest.
History[]
Shina first learns about the Entoma Scourge from the merchant Rook in the Wilderness in the prologue, he explains that one year prior, a terrifying beast known as Heaven's Messenger razed the world, until its body spontaneously shattered. The survivors deemed it a miracle from the heavens and continued with their lives until the "Mass Consternation" several months later. Inexplicable events, such as people evaporating and mass suicides, plagued the land thanks to mysterious objects called the Entoma; Rook points out that Shina's spider legs are one such object. Rook refers to the casualties as Martyrs, "suffering for the sake of avoiding retribution"; since they are believed to be possessing monsters, those monsters are also called Martyrs.
You later learn that the Entoma was actually created due to Iris rebelling against Aphesis by leaving one-third of their captured victims brain-dead, leaving four other Ludens: Alice, Nova, Levin and Ripuka, as a result Iris was destroyed by Aphesis creating the Entoma Scourge.
Not only did the scourge create the Martyrs but also the Entoma Queens which are highly powerful beings who act as the bosses of each dungeon, they all stem from a Entoma afflicted Iris. Rook himself is also affected by the Entoma Scourge, his AI is bugged making it so there are multiple Rook's in different places.
Trivia[]
- The Entoma Scourge is not too dissimilar from the curse that affects the small town of Le Choara in Death end re;Quest 2, where people turn into Shadow Matter from negative emotions due to the curse.
