The answer is
135
because that becomes
APOCALYPSE.
Explantation:
Take each letter number (i-1) mod 26 in the alphabet. The sequence must increase so, the next occurance of e is at 135.

1$\begingroup$ Made a slight counting error, should be 135 instead of 134... $\endgroup$ Mar 21, 2016 at 20:10

1$\begingroup$ Just a fun bit of code
[1,16,41,55,79,90,103,120,123,135].map(n=>(~-n%26+10).toString(36))$\endgroup$ Mar 22, 2016 at 8:34
15 25 14 24 11 13 17 3$\endgroup$oynxkmqcwhich appears to be meaningless, even when using an unknown 9th letter. $\endgroup$
