Allen Avadonia, born Alexiel Lucifen d'Autriche and regarded as The Servant of Evil, was the last Prince of the Kingdom of Lucifenia and a servant to his twin sister, Princess Riliane. After the death of their father, the twins were separated in a political dispute. Pronounced dead and adopted by Leonhart Avadonia, "Allen" returned to the royal palace to serve as his sister's chamberlain, helping exterminate any opposition to Riliane's tyranny.

I hadn't known at the time why you had that kind of attitude. But I do now. You had just been terribly used, and wrapped up in a political conflict...

AlexielRiliane
Alexiel sneaking out with his sister
Alexiel was born on December 27, EC 485 along with his twin sister, Riliane, as the heirs to the Lucifenian Royal Family.[1] In EC 491, Alexiel visited a market in Lucifenian with his father King Arth I and the captain of the royal guard, Leonhart Avadonia, encountering an old woman selling toys in bottles. Told by Arth to pick only one despite being royalty, Alexiel chose the princess doll, deciding to "split" the toy with Riliane.[2]

In the same year, Alexiel discovered a hidden passage in their room's fireplace and, with Riliane,[3] frequently escaped into the Lost Woods before arriving at the shore of Lucifenia's coast, playing on the beach.[4] During one of their visits, Alexiel saw that Riliane had discovered a black box in the sand with one of the Four Mirrors of Lucifenia inside. When the Demon of Gluttony manifested from the mirror, Alexiel tried to befriend the demon and watched with worry as it possessed his sister. Later on, the twins returned home, burying the box they found.[5]

During their three o'clock teatime another day,[6] the demon appeared and Alexiel kindly shared his snack with her.[7] As a reward, she told him that if someone wrote down their wish, put it in a bottle, and placed it in the ocean, it would come true.[8] During one of their visits to the beach, Alexiel tended to Riliane when she scraped her knee.[3] When he later comforted her as it grew dark, Alexiel told her about the legend the demon relayed to him.[9] Sometime after, Riliane began treating Alexiel coldly as the struggle over who would succeed their deceased father continued.

Later, Leonhart was assigned to protect him during the civil dispute, foiling an assassination attempt on the boy's life. After Minister of Interior Affairs Presi Rogzé was confirmed the culprit behind the entire incident, Alexiel asked his mother to let Leonhart adopt him to end the unnecessary conflicts and avoid becoming like his selfish sister. Queen Anne agreed to her son's wishes and pronounced "Alexiel" dead to the public.[4]

Back then you looked for all the world like everyone around you was an enemy. You never met my gaze completely.
GERMAINE TO ALLEN

AllenGermaineAdventure
Allen walking through the Lost Woods with Germaine
Adopting the name Allen, the former prince lived with Leonhart and was introduced to his new sister, Germaine, staying closed off from her.[9] A few days later, in EC 492, Chartette Langley went missing and Germaine ran off after her, convinced she was kidnapped by the bandits headquartered in the Lost Woods. Following along to help, Allen rescued Germaine from some of the bandits and the two children continued to their hideout together, opening up to each other along the way. Once they reached the bandits' hideout, Allen was shocked and frustrated to find that Chartette had already convinced the bandits' leader to reform.

Returning home,[10] Allen and Germaine came back to find Leonhart furious with them for doing something so dangerous.[3] Over the years, Allen grew close with his foster father and sister. As time progressed, Leonhart began training Allen in fencing, teaching him the art of swordplay and horseback riding.[11] Allen was also visited several times by Anne;[12] during his mother's final visit in EC 498, he noticed she looked gaunt and was told to protect Riliane.[2] After Queen Anne died in January of the following year, Allen attended his mother's funeral, disguised in a cloak. Around that time, Leonhart decided to have the boy return to the royal palace as a servant as a way to reunite him with his sister.[13]

Servant to the Princess
Looks like being a servant is a little rough, Allen."
"Not as much as being captain of the royal guard, Sir Leonhart.
LEONHART AND ALLEN

Cha2 img
That year, Leonhart brought Allen back to the palace; while traversing the halls, they encountered Riliane and Allen was touched by how cheerfully she took to him. After the Head Maid Mariam Phutapie had him dressed and brought in as a chamberlain,[13] Leonhart instructed Allen to keep their relationship as parent and child secret from Riliane.[14] Mariam then brought Allen to serve the Princess and she started playing a game of tag with him through the halls.

When Allen started to win during one round, Riliane threatened to behead him and tackled him to the ground. After the triumphant princess put a bow on him, signifying her victory, Allen watched as she talked to Mariam and Elluka Clockworker, who had witnessed the exchange.[13] Over the next year, Allen worked as Riliane's attendant, cleaning the interior of the palace and serving the princess' needs; as part of his duties, Allen provided the Princess with her mid-afternoon snack at three o'clock each day.[3]

Allen passes on his task to Ney
On December 26, the day before Riliane's and his fourteenth birthday, Allen received orders from Mariam to help Chartette clean the courtyard in preparation for Riliane's upcoming birthday party, as a way to keep an eye on the destructively clumsy maid. In case he and Chartette took too long, Allen passed his job serving Riliane's snack off to another servant, Ney Phutapie, and then spent the next three hours cleaning the Heavenly Yard with Chartette and others. When Chartette became exhausted and begged them to quit, he flatly refused her and convinced her to keep working.[13]

Later, as Chartette panicked when she realized he was going to miss giving Riliane her snack, Allen reassured her by explaining the arrangement he made with Ney. The two were then warmly approached by Leonhart, who chatted with them about the hard work they were doing and how Germaine got into another fight. He was soon shocked to learn that Leonhart had quit drinking so as not to indulge himself during the famine plaguing the country. As the conversation quickly turned to Riliane's refusal to help the starving people, Allen got into an argument with his foster father when he pointed out that Riliane was not the only one to blame.[14]

Afterward, Leonhart brought up that Josephine was missing and they discussed the possibility that she'd been stolen; they were soon alerted by a hysterical Ney, who revealed that the Princess was missing.[3] As Ney showed them the opened secret passage behind the fireplace, Allen recalled the time he and Riliane used the passage as kids.[13] He soon after joined Leonhart's search party to look for Riliane in the Lost Woods.[3]

The Birthday Party
Allen! We're not done yet! There's one thing left, the big one!
NEY TO ALLEN

AllenForestSearch
Allen traversing the rugged forest path
As the search party traversed the Lost Woods with no luck, Allen spoke to Leonhart to confirm Riliane had really gone this way; he soon had to comfort Ney when she became disconsolate about the princess going missing on her watch. Suddenly,[13] Allen remembered the time he and Riliane had snuck out together to visit the coast; deciding to check the same coast, he announced his plan to go on ahead to Leonhart and hurried to the forest. Arriving at the coastline, Allen found Riliane sitting on the beach with Josephine.

As he met up with the princess, Allen learned that Riliane, irritated that she had been discovered, had intentionally gone missing to give herself a pretense to execute Leonhart. Once she nonetheless prepared to return, Allen saw a cut on her hand and convinced her to let him treat it. As he healed the wound, he became lost in thought over his childhood and was flustered to find himself holding her hand for too long. He then suggested that they go to the port town and summon the royal guard, rather than going back through the forest.[3]

Allen displays his loyalty to his princess
Riliane, mounted upon Josephine, had Allen lead the way and the two launched the signal beacon from the port town. There they waited; once the search party arrived, Allen watched as Leonhart lectured the princess over her reckless behavior and Riliane invoked her status to retaliate; at her command, Allen knelt along with the rest of the search party to show her their loyalty.[13]

With Riliane returned to the palace, the servants were forced to make up for their lost time that evening and exhaustively served dishes for the guests during the celebration that night. After finishing, Allen took a brief moment to rest with Chartette and together they tiredly praised themselves for having done their jobs perfectly. When Chartette returned to help in the kitchen, Allen tried to come along but was convinced to stay and rest.[13] Alone, Allen drifted in his own thoughts about how different his life was from Riliane's despite their being twins.

Leonhartfurious
Allen watching his foster father storm out of the party
His thoughts were interrupted by Mariam, who came to check on him and then correctly surmised what must be on his mind. Talking to her about how he hadn't yet been found out, and learning how Elluka had dispelled others' suspicions of his resemblance to Riliane, Allen continued to be puzzled by how Riliane didn't even seem to remember him. His thoughts were interrupted by Ney, who dragged him away to help bring out Riliane's massive birthday cake.[3]

While the gigantic cake was unveiled to the public, Allen saw Leonhart storm from the hall in a rage and chased after him. Catching up to him, he overheard his furious foster father express his disgust with Riliane and leave. Shortly afterwards, Mariam approached after having also overheard and she mused over their sad situation. Chartette arrived, interrupting the conversation, and reminded them of the approaching end to the party. On Mariam's orders, Allen helped Chartette see out the guests.[3]

To Protect Riliane
Allen...in the end, let me say... that... with this you have become a genuine 'Servant’ of the 'Daughter of Evil'...
THE DYING LEONHART

Sometime after, Allen and Asan went to clean the Hall of Sounds after a minister was executed in it. While cleaning the expensive decorations, Allen watched Riliane return to complain about her lunch to Minis Stoup; he then witnessed Asan attack Riliane with a knife and tackled him. Using the blunt sword he was cleaning, Allen was able to disarm and subdue Asan, who was arrested shortly after. Allen later learned that Asan was the brother of the minister who'd been executed, and that he was executed the next day.

Three days since the incident, Allen was helping Ney prepare dinner when Riliane stormed into the kitchen demanding to know who was stealing food from the palace. After the head cook confessed that he saw someone sneaking into the palace warehouse and smuggling out some food, Allen watched when Ney eventually admitted that it had been Leonhart. After dinner, Allen summoned by Riliane to meet her in her room; after praising Allen's swordplay with Asan, she gave him a message in a bottle that ordered him to kill Leonhart. Shocked, first by her method of request and then by the request itself, Allen listened to Riliane's petty reasons for killing the man that even included gossip from Ney.

After hearing her plans to have him poisoned first and promising to keep the request a secret, Allen retired for the night. The next day, Allen met Ney in the Servant Room and she hesitantly told him that she had overheard Leonhart admitting to Mariam that he had made Allen a servant so that he could eventually assassinate the princess. Hurt and cheated, Allen decided to help Riliane to neutralize Leonhart as a threat. Giving Riliane a slow-acting sedative, he stood outside her room and listened as Riliane convinced Leonhart to drink the drugged wine and, with a lent sword, confronted him as he walked drunk through the Heavenly Yard later.

Allen deals the finishing blow
As he bantered against Leonhart, becoming increasingly conflicted in carrying out Riliane's orders, Allen did battle with his foster father and struggled to survive his onslaught until the sedative kicked in. As he prepared to deal the finishing blow, Allen saw a hand mirror roll from Leonhart's arms and learned it was his birthday present. Shaken, he tried instead to maim Leonhart's sword arm, leaving him neutralized but alive, only to be forced to deal the finishing blow anyway when Leonhart attacked him while his back was turned. Receiving a cryptic warning about his strengthened resolution to serve Riliane, Allen watched Leonhart die of his injuries.[11]

KEEL FREEZIS NOTING ALLEN'S AFFECTION FOR MICHAELA

MichaelaAllenDoEManga
Allen talks to Michaela
After both Elphegort and Marlon provided aid to relieve the citizens' starvation, Allen was assigned as the envoy to Elphegort's contributor, Keel Freezis. On the morning of his trip, Allen was approached by Gumillia, who awkwardly asked him to deliver a green onion to her friend, a green-haired girl named Michaela. On the bumpy ride to Aceid, Allen became absorbed in his own thoughts until the carriage arrived in the city's Central District and Allen got out to recover from motion sickness. While outside, Allen saw a beautiful Elphe girl singing to a crowd and fell in love with her, before shortly after learning that she was Michaela.

Approaching her, he delivered the green onion from Gumillia and Michaela, after learning Allen was going to the Freezis Mansion, was overjoyed to repay the favor by showing him a shortcut there, revealing it was where she worked.[15] On the way, the two shared a lively conversation about their respective jobs, Allen's as a servant and Michaela's as a maid, and Allen became more enamored with her. During the conversation, he also noticed Michaela was wearing a shell necklace and learned that it had been a gift.[15]

Once they arrived at the estate, Michaela went to work while Allen waited for Keel to finish meeting with another guest.[16] While waiting, he met and introduced himself to Gast Venom, who shortly began to ask Allen about the state of the palace soldiers before introducing himself and offering the services of his mercenaries to the Lucifenian monarchy. As Gast suddenly asked him if he had ever killed someone before, they were interrupted by Keel's servant, Bruno, bringing Allen in to meet with Keel.

In the next room, Allen and Keel chatted about the gifts Lucifenia sent the latter in thanks, as well as talking about what business Keel had with Gast and his reasons for helping Lucifenia. Keel then revealed his intentions in inviting Allen over had been to inquire about the state of affairs in Lucifenia from an ordinary person at the palace, and Allen answered his questions as best he could. During the talk, Michaela came in and served brioche, which had been made by her friend, Clarith. After she left, Keel teased Allen over his obvious crush on her.

After the interview was over, Allen mingled with Michaela and their coachman for a brief time before departing back to Lucifenia. The next day, he reported his meeting with Keel and Gast to Riliane and the other ministers, and then watched Minis make his report about his trip to Marlon. Afterward, he watched Riliane become furious that Kyle Marlon had withdrawn his engagement to her, having fallen in love with a woman with green hair.[15]

Green Hunting
So then... what are you going to... do? Are you going to... kill the Daughter of Green... like the Princess said?
NEY TO ALLEN

Cha allen
A week later, while cleaning Riliane's room, Allen overheard Mariam report her failure to uncover the identity of Kyle's lover, and Riliane's subsequent tantrum and order to kill all the green-haired women in Elphegort. When Elluka objected and resigned, under Riliane's orders Allen pursued her as she left the room and found her arguing with Mariam in the hall. Before she left, Allen was shocked to hear Elluka's prophecy that Lucifenia would perish. When he returned to Riliane's now empty room, he spotted a shell necklace that Kyle had given the princess and realized Michaela was Kyle's mysterious lover.

During the Green Hunting, Allen visited Keel in the palace dungeon and learned that Michaela was Kyle's one-sided crush. Sympathizing with Keel's desire to protect Michaela despite the massacre occurring, Allen was able to convince him to give him the location of where Michaela was hiding, Keel also explaining how Kyle was planning to arrive and save her. Later that day, Allen traveled to the Millennium Tree Forest and went down the old well there, finding Michaela at the bottom. As the two talked, Allen was unable to kill her and,[17] after Michaela rejected his offer of taking her somewhere safer, he departed having realized that he loved her.[16]

When he returned to the palace, Allen found Ney and Riliane speaking in the Servant Room; after Ney left, Riliane angrily confronted him on knowing about Michaela and refusing to tell her. Deciding to give him another chance, Riliane gave Allen a new "wish" in a bottle to kill Michaela. After Allen left the room, he met with Ney, who pressed him about whether he'd follow through on this next order. The next day Allen returned to the well under the cover of darkness,[17] planning to run away with Michaela, only to find her already stabbed and dying.[16]

Afterward, he returned to the palace and claimed to have done the deed himself,[18] while tearfully confessing the truth of the matter to Keel in prison.[19] As the war with Elphegort continued, Allen attended to his sister while she enjoyed an afternoon with Ney and Chartette.[17] Following the attempted assassination of Prime Minister Minis, Allen, Chartette, and Ney eavesdropped on the meeting in the Hall of Sounds and heard the ministers agree to hire the Venom Mercenaries to make up for the shortage of troops.

Later on, Allen accompanied Riliane in the Hall of Mirrors as Gast Venom introduced himself to her. After they were done conversing, Allen to gave Gast a tour of the palace as instructed, eventually showing him his new quarters. As they talked, their conversation was interrupted by Mariam come to deliver Gast's meal; Allen watched as Gast and Mariam tensely talked over the past before Mariam left. Later, at the Training Grounds, Allen watched Gast defeat a group of soldiers who criticized the presence of mercenaries in the city.

Sometime after, hoping to avert the prophesied destruction of Lucifenia, Allen approached Riliane in the upstairs garden and confronted her over her plan to incorporate Elphegort into Lucifenia's territory. Fed up with her greed, he begged her to recall the troops from Elphegort and threatened to leave the palace if she did otherwise. Allen was soon after shocked and overjoyed when his gamble was a success, Riliane agreeing to end the war with the Green Country. Despite this, while serving Riliane a snack later he was disturbed by her comment that the sky looked as though the end of the world was approaching.[20]

Lucifenian Revolution
Any time now. Princess, do you have any last words left?"
"Oh, it's teatime!
RILIANE

At the start of the Lucifenian Revolution, Allen eavesdropped on the chaotic war conference until he was spotted and chastised by Minis, who stormed into the Hall of Sounds and instructed the ministers on their countermeasures. A week later, Allen attended another war meeting with Riliane; over the course of several meetings, Allen watched the ministers' growing panic as the Lucifenian army continued to suffer defeats.

During the invasion of the palace, while meeting with Mariam in the servant room, Allen and Mariam discussed the dire situation; during their conversation, Allen was shocked when Mariam pleaded with him to kill Riliane and usurp her rule to save Lucifenia, claiming she would serve him loyally as the prince. Resolute, he ordered Mariam to protect Riliane instead. After Mariam left, Gast entered, preparing to depart with the palace invaded. Allen quickly tried to pay Gast to stay; when he refused, wondering why a mere servant would go so far, Allen revealed that Riliane was his twin sister. The amused Gast accepted his offer and left.

RilianeAllen
Allen watching Riliane's breakdown, comforts her while doing so
Afterward, Allen found Riliane and, as he served her, watched her subsequent breakdown over the revolution. As he comforted her,[21] Allen decided to let himself be captured in Riliane's place and requested she switch clothes with him. After she did so, he explained his plan to disguise himself as her so she could escape the palace unnoticed. As Riliane opposed the plan, he reassured her by revealing that they were both twins.

After further comforting the shocked and now tearful Riliane, Allen left her room and locked the door behind him, forcing Riliane to escape while he went to meet the revolutionaries.[9] He was captured in the Hall of Sounds shortly after and locked up in the Lucifenian palace's dungeon. While imprisoned, Allen was visited by King Kyle, who recognized Allen wasn't the real Riliane but decided to have him executed anyway in light of the political ramifications. During the visit, Allen lied that he was the one who killed Michaela, being struck by the furious Kyle as a result.

Several days since his capture, Allen received another visitor, this time the revolutionary leader Germaine who had come to announce his execution date. Seized by the cruel irony that his own foster sister was leading the revolution, Allen laughed and was forced to reveal his deception when Germaine also recognized him. He then told her everything about his true identity as Prince Alexiel and how he ended up masquerading as Riliane. When he finished, Germaine started trying to set Allen free, to his protest.

Allen's hallucination of holding his sister's hand
As his sister tried to argue that Allen didn't deserve to be imprisoned or executed, Allen tried to persuade her by relating his earlier visit with Kyle. When she nonetheless insisted they could run away together, Allen was forced to take drastic measures to persuade her: deducing how she'd deposed Riliane to avenge Leonhart, he taunted her over starting the revolution for revenge rather than a just cause and then revealed, to Germaine's horror, that he had been the one to assassinate their father.

Two days later, Allen was taken to Milanais Square in Rolled and fixed on the scaffold, preparing to be executed. Although triumphant that he prevented Elluka's prophecy of Riliane's death, Allen's triumph quickly devolved into terror at dying until he became soothed by what appeared to be hallucinations, one of a mysterious song and the other a vision of Riliane comforting him when he was a child. When it came time for him to be executed, Allen kept up the ruse to the very end and said "Oh, it's teatime", as his last words before being killed.[9]

Afterlife
To me the important matter is that he did not become one of the gears.
MA REGARDING ALLEN

Following his death, Allen's soul went to the Heavenly Yard and met the ruling god there, Sickle. Forbidden from seeing his friends and family in the Gardens of Champs-Élysées, Sickle instead tasked Allen with learning about all of the Third Period's history from the Black Box device. Locked up in Black Box and left in the fields of the Heavenly Yard,[22] Allen used its Akashic Recorder to receive memory data from the souls in the Heavenly Yard,[23] learning about the events of the ground world's past and present over time.[22]

Over the years, Allen oversaw the journey of Germaine, the novelist Yukina Freezis, and others as they investigated the conspiracy behind The Daughter of Evil's terrible reign. As Clarith, influenced by the Demon of Wrath, prepared to murder Riliane on the coast by the Held Monastery in EC 505,[24] Allen begged Sickle to let him protect his sister.[25] Using the Black Box,[22] he appeared on the Lucifenian coastline and prevented Clarith from carrying out her revenge until she broke free of the demon's influence.[24]

Allensoul
Allen beside Germaine
Later that year, Allen watched the confrontation between Abyss I.R., Germaine and Yukina on the beach. When Abyss was about to incinerate Yukina with the Marlon Spoon,[26] Sickle once again allowed Allen to interfere in the world.[25] On the coast, Allen linked his thoughts to Yukina as she stood in despair over the terrible truth about her mother. Scolding her for giving up, he encouraged Yukina to live in order to write the story of Germaine, Riliane, and herself.

Soon after, he was present when Riliane, now Rin, attempted to steal the spoon from Abyss; once Abyss was defeated and started to flee in her cat body, Allen manifested and supported Germaine as she threw her sword, skewering Abyss I.R.'s true form and defeating her. Allen then disappeared,[26] returning to Black Box. Exhausted, he slept for a long time before resuming his studies.[25]

On January 30, EC 611, while Allen was inside the box he was greeted by the voice of Behemo Barisol; puzzled as he spoke to the stranger, he became surprised when Behemo offered to get him out of the box before introducing himself and claiming to be Sickle's former colleague. Hesitant and suspicious, Allen finally introduced himself in turn and obeyed Behemo's instructions on how to get out of Black Box, leaving it behind as he headed for the Gardens of Champs-Élysées to see Riliane. While en route, Allen was stopped by the god Held, who promptly returned the downtrodden boy to Black Box.

When Behemo, who had gone in to use the box, stepped outside, Held lectured him before Behemo went to speak with Allen instead. As he lamented his failed objective, Allen learned from Behemo that Riliane would reincarnate in one or two hundred years in, likely, the far east of Evillious. Although confused, Allen received for the moment no more explanation before Behemo left. The boy was shortly after returned to Black Box.[27]

Hero in the East
Main Article: Kokutan-douji
In EC 828, Allen inadvertently incarnated as a human, being born from an ebony tree trunk in Momogengou, Jakoku. Raised by an elderly couple, "Kokutan-douji" grew up with a feeling that he should be doing something. In EC 842, the boy was told by a mermaid that his true mother was in Enbizaka; he then traveled to Onigashima with his companions Inukichi and Saruteito, punishing criminals along the way.

Meeting the tailor Kayo Sudou, the boy moved in with her and the two began living as mother and child. After Kayo was arrested for her murder of the Miroku Family, and after Behemo restored his memories of his former life, Kokutan-douji carried out her execution and beheaded her with Grim the End. Sometime after, the boy returned to spiritual form and went back to the Heavenly Yard.[28]

World's End
Postmanprofile
In EC 999, once Nemesis Sudou used the Punishment weapon to destroy the Third Period,[22] Sickle, wanting to increase Allen's chances of saving the world, merged him with a version of himself from an alternate timeline where he had failed.[29] Waking up inside Black Box with Grim the End in his hand,[30] Allen was instructed by Sickle to speak with the seven contractors. With the memories of his alternate timeline self,[29] Allen ignored Sickle's orders and instead went straight to Nemesis.[31]

This was due to him having reasoned that "Nemesis" was only a mindless body kept alive by her contract with Wrath, Nemesis' soul having been separated from her and taken up a delusion that she was once again Levia Barisol in the Second Period. To prevent her from repeatedly destroying the world and all the souls on it, Allen, as well as Michaela, the Master of the Hellish Yard, and Seth Twiright, sought to enter Levia's delusion and bring her body and soul back together.

Unable to enter without appearing like someone from Nemesis' memories,[32] Allen dressed up as Postman and took Nemesis' catatonic living body into the illusory hospital where Levia was working. Once he met with "Dr. Levia Barisol", he asked her for her services as a psychiatrist in treating Nemesis with the Mind Swap Technique. In reality he hoped that, after seeing Nemesis' memories of the six people she killed with her revolver, Levia's own memories would return and she'd return to her body. After setting Levia and Nemesis up in the black box to perform the technique, Allen watched as Levia experienced each of Nemesis' memories.[33]

Allen meeting with Nemesis
After Levia saw the sixth and last victim, Allen asked Levia about Nemesis' life and was disappointed when she showed no memory of Evillious. Taking off his hat, Allen tried to spark her memories by reminding her of who he was; then, using the "Irregular System" function of the box, he initiated another Mind Swap on Levia to force her to remember.[34] Levia's memory was fully restored and the soul merged back with the living body, becoming Nemesis. Back in the ground world, Allen explained everything to her. Once Nemesis finished catching up with Michaela, Seth, and the Master of the Hellish Yard, Allen suggested they go to Evil's Theater next, to solve some remaining mysteries about the world's end and to save the world.[32]

Alarming Developments
AllenMothynovel
Splitting up with Gumillia, Michaela, and Seth, Allen and Nemesis trekked towards the site of Evil's Theater. They planned to visit it and then the remains of Lucifenia, with Allen still wanting to reunite with Riliane. As they walked, Nemesis began to complain of her fatigue; after Allen bickered with her pressed her to keep going, the woman relented and the two discussed their plans and current situation as they walked.[35]

Eventually the two reached the illusory remains of the Millennium Tree Forest, talking to each other about how it was there despite the real forest being destroyed. Their conversation soon turned to the owner of the Black Box where Allen learned all of his information, Allen being confused at Nemesis' claim that Sickle was a woman. The two continued their conversation before Held joined their conversation as a bluebird.

Allen spots the Black Box Type S
During Held and Nemesis' debate, Held directed Allen's attention towards a Type S Black Box in the sky that they should deal with, with the group realizing the box wasn't an illusion like the rest of the world and could potentially do harm. Nemesis and Allen thus resolved to go check it out, particularly as Evil's Theater was underneath it. They then bid Held farewell, Allen speculating that Evil's Theater was made to float by someone with a childlike personality.

As they trekked south, Nemesis and Allen discussed the Moon Goddess, whose identity Allen was unsure of. Arriving at the black box, the two watched as Gammon Octo addressed dead soldiers of the Tasan Party and laid blame for the world's end on her and all the other "evil" souls of the world. Hearing Gammon conclude that they must destroy the alleged sources of all evil--that being the demon contractors Banica Conchita, Kayo Sudou, Riliane, Sateriasis Venomania, and Nemesis herself--Allen and Nemesis departed.

Leaving the forest, they discuss what they heard in Gammon's speech as well as speculating about their next move. Determining Gammon intended to use the Black Box Type S against the demon contractors, Nemesis and Allen decide to seek out Seth and Gumillia, Seth being the creator of the Black Box Type S. After talking further, the two eventually decided to head to Lucifenia as they originally planned, in part to talk to Riliane and in hopes of meeting Gumillia there.[36]

The Battle and the Black Box
Arriving in Lucifenia, Allen and Nemesis found it had become a battleground between the spirits of Lucifenians, and more of the dead Tasan soldiers, with Riliane having already fled. After Nemesis dissuaded Allen from jumping in needlessly to help, the two spotted the Venom Mercenaries nearby and approached them, Allen hiring them to also fight in the battle.

Seeing Germaine hit with heavy artillery, Allen pulled her to safety with the help of Mariam and Leonhart, chiding her for her recklessness. After Leonhart explained that Riliane had fled, Allen in turn explained how he had hired the Venom Mercenaries. When, later into the battle, the Black Box flew out over the Lucifenian forces and began to suck everyone inside, Allen was one of the few spirits to remain.

Holing up with the others in the palace, Allen later watched as Nemesis shot down the Black Box, defeating it and freeing the souls inside. With the enemy no longer wishing to do battle, Allen and Nemesis joined Arth on the roof of the palace, Nemesis announcing that they would go again in search of Riliane and Gumillia. As Nemesis suggested seeing Banica as well and argued with Arth over getting Lich Arklow to help, Allen convinced Nemesis to come along with him, citing her love for the world as Elluka before setting out with her for Beelzenia.[37]

Arriving in Gasto, the two met with Eater Sabella in his Worldeater form; after they introduced themselves, Eater took them into the Conchita Mansion. Allen then listened as Nemesis spoke with Banica and Lich, discussing the Tasan Party soldiers having gone there and asking Lich about where the inhabitants of Evil's Theater currently were. Afterwards, Banica summoned Arte and Pollo and announced her intentions to go to Evil's Theater to stop Gammon, Nemesis also joining her. Convinced by Arte on the grounds that Riliane was probably headed there, Allen joined as well and the party set once more for the Millennium Tree Forest.[31]

The End of Capriccio
Arriving at Evil's Theater with Banica and her servants, Nemesis and Allen helped engage in battle with the theater inhabitants, Nemesis and Allen dealing with Gammon directly. During their battle, the three of them were interrupted by the irregular twins Adam and Eve. The twins were soon followed by Riliane,[38] who had become possessed by Ma's consciousness inside her and had absorbed all of the demon contractors in the theater.

As Ma attacked them in Riliane's body, the twins Adam and Eve prematurely began their Re_birthday ability to stop her.[39] After Ma escaped the rapidly transforming theater, Allen was pulled to safety by Nemesis, the two forced to leave Gammon behind. After Banica's servants also escaped, the party flew away from the theater on Eater's back. From afar they watched the theater turn into a giant black box, Allen expressed his concern for the people inside, Nemesis explaining to how it might be "formatting" them.

Soon after, Allen and the others learned the possessed Riliane had also successfully escaped, spotting her on the ground. Appraising the situation, and seeing that Ma threatened to suck all of Evillious into her developing vortex, Allen was urged by Nemesis to decide between the world or his sister.[40] Allen instead came up with a plan to get Ma out of Riliane first before defeating her, to which Nemesis reluctantly agreed.[41] Touching back down, Eater let Allen off to distract Ma and flew away again with Nemesis.[2]

Ma confronts Allen inside Riliane's soul body
Confronting Ma, Allen refused to give Nemesis' location. The two then talked, discussing among other things the nature of "irregulars" and how she had gained knowledge by discovering Black Box Type B in the Grave Yard; Allen also learned from Ma her motivation of confirming her existence even if it led to the end of the world.[2]

Soon after, both Allen and Ma were carried up by the tornado cast by Nemesis. Catching a glass bottle falling from Ma's hand, Allen was pulled out of the tornado by Nemesis and Eater. He then read the message inside the bottle, determining it to be from Riliane, asking him to save her as always. Not long after, the tornado began to weaken from Ma's magic. Ma began flying towards Nemesis and Allen, only to be stopped by Michaela, and soon nearly every soul, singing the Clockwork Lullaby.

When Nemesis and Ma cast body swap spells on each other and magically struggled, Allen attacked Ma with Grim the End, breaking her control on the contractors inside her. Falling to the ground, Allen was caught by Germaine riding on Kyle in his demonic form. Confirming that Riliane was fine from Germaine, Allen watched as Ma, having swapped into Nemesis' body, fell to the ground and died.[41]
