Good morning, Name. Today you will become the King of Bel... the king of demons.

But also the Messiah who will lead mankind.

I am glad to hear this. I will lead you all as His messenger.

Be not afraid. His blessing will surely protect us from all misfortune.

It is natural to feel some doubt and anxiety.

I should be surprised if you felt no anguish at all now.

But remember always His one truth. I shall light your path that you do not lose your way.

Have faith and let us walk together...

Now, Name Surname... Let us go forth that you might be the new world’s Messiah.

Yeah, I was wondering about that... Aren’t we all going to die at 18:00?

W-Wait a second... Even if Nickname really can become the Messiah...

What about the final option? Aren’t we all going to die at 18:00...?

Be not afraid. I am His messenger, here to prevent that.

You’re sure...? We really don’t have to worry about it?

We are agents of order... We speak only the truth. We will neither lie nor deceive you.

O-Okay... Then let’s do it.

So... where do we start?

To become the Messiah, it is vital that Name Surname gains control over all demons.

In other words, you must win the war for the Throne of Bel and ascend as overlord.

For you to lead mankind as the Messiah, you will need a foundation of power.

Yes... for you to lead mankind as the Messiah, you will need a foundation of power.

Only by bringing the demons defying Him to heel can you become the Messiah.

To meet the qualifications to become King of Bel, you must defeat the other Bel demons.

Defeat the other Bels... But where are they?

We gotta beat the other Bels? Uhhhh... so where are they?

Defeat the other Bels... Okay, but where are they?

Your first task is to defeat Jezebel, the demon of Bel within this girl Amane.

W-Wait a second! You’re an angel, aren’t you? You’re in her body too!

Th-That’s right! You’re an angel, aren’t you? You’re in her body too!

So, um... Wouldn’t it be fastest if you beat Jezebel yourself?

The reason I have revealed myself to you and speak to you now...

Is because you were all chosen as representatives of mankind.

I lend you my strength because you attempt to withstand this ordeal by your own strength.

In other words... We have to do this no matter what.

So we have to do this ourselves, huh? Awwww...

So what you’re saying is... We have to do this ourselves.

Our time is limited... Jezebel is already slowly dominating Amane’s soul.

I am keeping her in check for now, but I cannot manage it much longer...

Soon, Jezebel will gain full control over this body, and Amane’s soul will perish.

Your words are heartening... Fitting for Abel’s successor. This girl will be grateful.

However, failure cannot be permitted. Prepare yourselves first for the battle.

You have begun to awaken as Abel, Name, and you have a COMP as well...

These things together with my assistance will make this possible.

A-Abel...? Are you talking about Nickname?

Abel is the name of one of His blessed children. I will explain further in time...

When you are ready, return to this place.

Go. Prepare yourselves to battle Jezebel and return to Miyashita Park.

You have returned... You are prepared for battle, then?

I will send each of your minds into Amane.

But first... I will keep my promise to you.

Have you forgotten? It is about Abel, His child that you wished to hear about.

Indeed. I will tell you now of Abel, His beloved child.

Name Surname... You are His child, yet you are also capable of becoming overlord.

You are both special and not. I shall explain why.

That is very true.

You are both special and not. I shall explain why.

There once were two brothers. The elder’s name was Cain, and the younger’s was Abel.

These brothers were at the center of the first tragedy in human history.

It is not easy for man to grasp His will.

I will explain...

This child of sorrow, Abel, was the first human killed by his fellow man.

Though he was His child, he was murdered by Cain’s hand... his own brother.

Indeed...

Cain, Abel’s killer, became the first murderer and will forever live in solitude.

Abel, killed before awakening as His child, continues to be reincarnated as a human.

His essence has been inherited by many.

Do you understand thus far?

That is correct.

Abel’s essence has faded over time, yet it still exists within many humans.

Worry not. It is not required of you that you understand everything.

Know that Abel’s essence has faded over time, yet it still exists within many humans.

Many in this world possess Abel’s essence. You are one of them. It is not rare...

But you defeated two Bels, and thus has Abel’s dormant power begun to awaken.

Though you are His child, you are now the sole human capable of becoming the King of Bel.

It is. Only you can lead mankind to its true calling in your capacity as His agent.

Yes. That is what allowed you to absorb the power from the demons of Bel.

Only you can lead mankind to its true calling in your capacity as His agent.

Belial called him ”Bel of the human world”... So that’s what that meant.

But I have digressed long enough. Let us begin.

Defeat Jezebel, who lurks in Amane’s mind, and free this girl’s soul.

With Abel’s dormant power and the COMP to control the flow of thoughts...

You may enter Amane’s soul to engage Jezebel.

Keep a firm grasp on yourself. Do not allow demons to swallow your heart...

If they do, your fate will be the same as if they had defeated you in this world.

Amane’s soul is already in the process of being dominated by Jezebel...

It is possible that her soul may oppose you. Please be very careful.

You must make Amane regain her consciousness. She will then undoubtedly aid you in battle.

Correct. You must awaken Amane’s consciousness.

If that is done, she will undoubtedly lend you her strength in battle.

Amane’s consciousness? Okay! Got it!

Amane’s consciousness... Understood. We’ll try.

Amane’s consciousness...? A-Alright, we’ll try!

If your souls fall to evil, you will never again be able to return to this world.

I will help as well, but you must be extremely vigilant.

Now go. May His divine protection be with you!

Is this... the inside of Amane’s soul...?

Wowwww! A field of flowers! Look how pretty it is! Is this really inside someone’s soul?

It’s so beautiful... I never knew a person’s soul was so stunning a place...

These... aren’t real flowers, are they? I feel like I’m in a dream or something...

I can move... And things here feel solid, too.

Huh... It’s not as different from reality as I had thought.

But I’m not looking at your and Nickname’s actual bodies, right?

It’s pretty bizarre, isn’t it?

Hey... It’s just our souls here, right?

If we lose to Jezebel and our souls don’t return... what happens to our bodies?

Urgh...

Let’s work quickly so that doesn’t happen.

Hm? Wait... Isn’t that Amane over there?

Oh man, we can’t let that happen! Let’s do this and hurry back!

Huh? Heeeey... Isn’t that Amane over there?

Let’s get this over with so that doesn’t happen and hurry back out.

Hm...? Hey, isn’t that Amane?

Here we are... Eikokuji.

Is this it? What was it called... Eikokuji?

This is the place...Eikokuji.

I’m getting nervous... I don’t really know much about these Four Devas...

If I’d known this would happen, I’d have paid more attention during the school trips.

Hey, Nickname... Were the Four Devas enshrined at Eikokuji?

No, that is incorrect. Nyoirin Kannon was originally enshrined here...

But the Devas are likely using its power to compensate for Jikoku’s loss.

Whew... I was scared you’d make me look bad. Thanks, Nickname!

That is correct. Nyoirin Kannon was originally enshrined here...

But the Devas are likely using its power to compensate for Jikoku’s loss.

Nickname... Don’t tell me you’re the type who studies during summer vacation too...

Um... Is it really okay to defeat the Four Devas...?

I would be a liar if I claimed not to be anxious myself.

But as I said, we cannot reach Babel without connecting the two worlds.

You’re right... There is no other way.

If we do not connect the two worlds, we cannot reach Babel.

The faster Name takes control of the demons, the fewer lives will be lost.

Hmm...

Let us begin. My senses tell me that our opponent is most likely Bishamon...

He guards the north, and is the strongest of the Devas. Do not take him lightly.

This must be Sengakuji... Where is the Deva?

This is Sengakuji? Ummmm... Where’s the Deva...?

So this is Sengakuji... Wonder where that Devas is.

I don’t see him either... Shaka Nyorai was once enshrined here, but this is definitely it.

Um... We beat Bishamon, so which ones are left?

The last two are Zouchou and Koumoku, protectors of the south and west.

Bishamon was supposed to be the strongest, so I’m a little less worried about this one...

I dunno, I have a bad feeling about this.... Be careful, Nickname.

The Hills Building... a modern Tower of Babel representing human society...

This place is packed with IT firms... Funny that a cult office would be out here.

So we’re going to the top floor to summon Babel?

Precisely. We will summon it from the point closest to the aperture in the sky...

Hey, look! What’s that...?

At last, we’re proceeding to the final battle...

Once we begin our climb, there will be no time left to come back down. Are you ready?

Here it is... Belberith’s waiting up there. Can we really beat that thing...?

I know we can... We have to, or we can’t save everyone!

Let us ascend to the top floor... Babel will appear there.

Father...

You fool... Know your place! You are a maiden of the Shomonkai!

We’re gonna save Tokyo! Heroism, here I come!

Let’s do our best, Name!

I may not be strong on my own...

But when combined with the rest of you, I’m infinitely stronger! Let’s go, Surname!

I may not be strong on my own...

But when combined with the rest of you, I’m infinitely stronger! Let’s go, Surname!

If my powers can help the world, and everyone else, I’ll be very glad.

Let’s do our best, Name!

If my powers can help the world, and everyone else, I’ll be very glad.

Let’s do our best, Name!

Nickname... You’ve always been at my side, helping me out. Now, I... I want to help you.

Nickname... You’ve always been at my side, helping me out. Now, I... I want to help you.

Let’s keep doing our best, right up to the very end!

Ugh... I’m so tired. Stupid power going out, making us use the stairs... This sucks!

Is this the thanks we get for trying to save the world...? Stupid lockdown!

Wh-What’re you talking about!? A hero can’t... give up this easily! ...Y’know?

A h-hero shouldn’t... give up... so easily! ...Y’know?

My legs are turning into jelly... I never said I wanted to be a hero!

Damn it... We were just here... to upload the song to the server... What’s with this!?

Damn it... Why are we... having to put up... with this...!?

You’re complaining... but you want to be... heroes, don’t you?

Quit complaining!

I see how much we rely on technology... I wonder if I can fight when we get there...

...Huh...? Ooh! Are we at the top...?

You got it!

I’m never taking the stairs again...

...Hey, what is this place? This is the top floor of the Hills, right?

What is this? A chapel? Is this a Shomonkai facility?

...! Hey! Look at that pipe organ!

Isn’t that a console panel? Maybe we can access the server from here!

Hey, is that somebody over there?

...Quiet. There’s someone over there...!

The time has finally come... Now! Summon Babel!

Heheheh... You disappoint me, Name.

......! N-Naoya...?

It seems we’ve all returned safely. Thank you all very much.

Phew... It didn’t really feel like the inside of a soul, but I’m glad to have my body back.

Mm... It didn’t feel quite like a mental landscape, but it’s good to be back in my body.

Whew... It felt just like the real world, but it’s still good to be back in my body!

Alright, Amane--I mean Remiel. What next?

Haha! Can’t you tell, Atsuro? It’s me, Amane.

Remiel’s role must have ended when you defeated Jezebel. He’s no longer inside me.

Wh-What? But he...!

Well, great! Now we have no idea what to do next!

Don’t worry. I’ll come with you.

After all, I’m the only one who can hear Remiel’s voice.

Yes. I’ll help in whatever way I can.

W-Wait a second... Aren’t you the Shomonkai’s maiden?

Don’t you guys worship Belberith...?

Th-That’s right! Aren’t you the Shomonkai’s maiden?

Don’t you guys worship Belberith...?

...That’s right.

My father Kuzuryu and the Shomonkai worship Belberith, the raging god.

By heeding Remiel’s words and assisting you, I will be going against their teachings.

But in speaking with Remiel... I have come to know God’s love and kindness.

The Shomonkai’s aim is for man to unite and withstand God’s ordeal...

It is not incompatible with Remiel’s, and God’s, teachings to achieve this through order.

...In watching your actions during the lockdown, I have begun to doubt my beliefs.

Is using demonic power and causing suffering the right way to withstand God’s ordeal?

Yes... I came to the same conclusion.

That is why... I will follow my heart, though it may lead to a schism with my father.

Yes... I will follow my heart, though it may lead to a schism with my father.

So you’re prepared for that, too... I hope we don’t have to put you through it.

Thank you, Yuzu... Your consideration is touching.

I shall tell you what Remiel has said to me... Is that all right?

S-Sure... Go on.

Your ultimate objective is the ”King’s Gate”... Babel.

You will become the King of Bel upon reaching Babel and overcoming the final trial.

By taking Babel’s power, the King of Bel can lead mankind to peace as God’s messenger.

Babel is a high-energy data entity lost by the original Bel when God defeated it...

According to Remiel, he who overcomes it will be able to gain tremendous power.

Thus, the final objective in the war of Bel is to gain the vast power within Babel.

The summoning server you all seek... It is none other than Babel itself.

W-Wait a sec! THAT’S the server controlling the demon summoning program?

Indeed, that is the case.

Babel currently sleeps within the server, awaiting the true the King of Bel.

Only one worthy of becoming the King can summon and awaken Babel...

Summon it...? What’s that supposed to mean?

Isn’t the server somewhere in Tokyo?

Belberith has transferred the summoning server to the demon world.

Officially, this was a move to increase the summoning program’s efficiency...

But Belberith’s true objective seems to have been summoning Babel.

He’s using the server as a medium to contain Babel, a high-energy data entity.

A-A medium? But why the server...?

Babel is in the demon world, but it cannot be seen or touched.

Belberith contrived to use the server as a medium to manifest Babel in order to challenge it.

The server harnesses the flow of thoughts. Its user can bend it to his or her will...

Belberith likely decided that to control and interface with a data entity such as Babel...

It would be best to use a device suited for that task.

That seems to be the case.

Belberith no doubt transferred the server in order to keep it close by.

Th... That’s really bad!

If Babel accepts Belberith, he’ll become King, right?

True enough...

But he must not have had the qualifications to be King when he manifested Babel.

Babel failed to respond to his challenge, and Belberith was unable to become King...

To gain those qualifications, Belberith has been absorbing the power of Bel demons.

Man... So that’s what the war for the Throne of Bel is really about...

Since the war is ongoing, Belberith must still lack the proper qualifications.

But he has already absorbed many Bels and taken their power...

If Babel responds to him, he will undergo the final trial to become the King of Bel.

We must return the server that was fused with Babel to the human world at once.

But to do that, we must first create a connection between the demon world and our own.

The two worlds are separated by a wall of power.

The creators of that wall are the fierce gods known as the Four Devas.

The Four Devas...? So those guys are protecting Tokyo from the demon world?

The Four Devas... So they’re the ones protecting Tokyo from the demon world.

The Four Devas...? Is that what’s protecting Tokyo from the demon world?

There’s a reason the demon summoning program can work without complex rituals...

We in the Shomonkai weakened the barrier between the human world and the demon world.

I... used Jezebel’s power to defeat one of the Devas...

Thereby destabilizing Tokyo’s spiritual condition.

That must have been Jikoku in Asakusa...

...Yes.

At the time... I thought my father’s teachings were the only way to save this world.

If only I had been able to hear Remiel’s words much earlier...

So that was why you beat Jikoku...

There are three Devas left preventing the demons from encroaching on our world.

While they remain standing, we will find ourselves unable to summon forth the server.

...Our task is to defeat them and create an aperture in the wall.

What? Are you saying...?

We have to defeat the Devas? But that would be incredibly dangerous!

Wh-Whaaaat? You want us to beat the Devas...? Is it okay for us to do that...?

D-Did you just say what I thought you said?

Defeat the Devas...? I-Is that really a good idea?

Remiel seems to think so... My own opinion is unchanged.

But the spread of the summoning program has led to vast numbers of demons in the city...

...Completely destroying the balance between the worlds.

If this continues, it will be only days before the imbalance crushes the human world.

This seems to be one reason the angels are watching the lockdown so intently...

Then... We have no choice.

Sheesh... It’s like we don’t even have a choice!

So either way... we have to do this, huh?

That is correct. Let us head first to Eikokuji... One of the Devas seems to be there.

Eikokuji... That’s in Ikebukuro.

Eikokuji...? The one in Ikebukuro?

Eikokuji... That’s in Ikebukuro.

The Devas have protected Tokyo for a very long time. Approach them with caution...

I’ll lend you what little strength I can.

We beat it...

Yeah... There’s no turning back for us now.

It’s pretty heavy...

Urgh... C’mon, man, don’t make this worse!

What... What is this?

Huuuuh...? What is this...?

Hm? What is this...?

The air’s gotten heavy... Is this...?

The power dividing the worlds has been weakened... Tokyo’s corruption begins in earnest.

So... this is corruption...

Uuuurgh... It’s ’cause we beat Bishamon...

This is because we defeated Bishamon, isn’t it...?

All because we beat Bishamon, huh...?

Let us be on our way... We cannot stop here.

We must connect the worlds, reach the remaining Bels, and then Babel itself.

Well... we gotta do what we gotta do...

We’re locked on course now...

We have to do this. We’ve gone too far to stop...

Indeed. The next of the Devas is in Shinagawa... He seems to be waiting at Sengakuji.

When you are ready, let us depart.

That’s... all four of them... They were protecting Tokyo...

Haha... Man, if the worlds don’t connect now, I’m gonna regret this forever...

...It seems Remiel’s words were no lies. Behold...

......! There’s... a hole in the sky...!

It looks like the eye of a typhoon...

That horrible, malicious thing... Is that a swirl of magical power?

The two worlds are joined... The portal to the demon world has been opened.

There are no more obstructions.

Is this gonna work...? We can summon the server once Nickname is qualified, right?

Absolutely. We should be able to summon Babel through the aperture.

It looks like it’s around Roppongi... Is that where we’re going next?

H-Hey...!

We won’t get sucked into the demon world if we go there, will we?

If we wait too long, the demon world will swallow ours. It would be best to hurry...

Our preparations to summon Babel are complete.

Yes... Let us meet Babel.

Now... we will meet Babel.

The aperture to the demon world is on the top floor of the Hills building.

The Shomonkai used it as their server room... Babel will definitely appear there.

Now, all that’s left is to summon Babel before Belberith.

We should hurry to Roppongi... Are you ready?

The Shomonkai were using that floor? We might have to fight them... Is that okay with you?

If Remiel spoke true, making Name the Messiah is our best solution to God’s ordeal.

...I have no doubts.

My father and I both want to save mankind. It’s just...

He trusts in Belberith, and I trust in Remiel. That’s all there is to it...

I’m his daughter. I understand him... Neither words nor deeds can change that.

Even if it means fighting Belberith and my father... I’ll stand with Name.

I appreciate it. Now, let us head to Roppongi...

To the server room at the top of the Hills building!

Let us trust in Remiel... If angels guide the government, they must know of our actions.

We will do what we must...

Yes... I agree completely.

Ahaha... Very honest of you. I myself am somewhat anxious, but...

Oddly... When I watch you, I feel as though I could accomplish anything.

Name... Please... Even if you emerge victorious and become the King of Bel...

Never forget the human heart that beats in your breast... Or the kindness within it.

Whew. I didn’t think something like that would be waiting for us...

Belzaboul was once hailed as the Duke of Hell... his power is tremendous.

By defeating him, the power of Bel sleeping within Name has grown even stronger.

You can sense the power within you? That is a good omen...

Um... So the only demon of Bel left is Belberith?

Yes...

Belberith will certainly appear to stop us from summoning Babel.

Hey... why did the Shomonkai start worshipping Belberith in the first place?

Hang in there, Yuzu! We’ll do our best and keep at it!

Whoo. Yay.

53 floors, eh...? It seems practically infinite...

There’s no time to hesitate. 53 floors, eh...? Well, we have no choice. Let’s go.

I-It won’t do any good to get angry at me...!

If we keep tromping up and down, we’ll be too tired to fight...

We don’t know if the final option is completely canceled, so we need to be prepared.

This will take some time to tell... Is that all right?

My father foresaw the coming of God’s ordeal while he was a student in theoligical school.

Do you know the story of the Tower of Babel in the Old Testament?

Long ago, mankind put their skills together to create a tower reaching to the heavens.

However, that act broke God’s commands, and He brought His wrath down upon it...

And the one common language of humanity was divided into many languages.

Mankind could no longer communicate, and such a tower could never be rebuilt.

However, technology has allowed us to overcome these language barriers. Mankind is now more than capable of repeating such blasphemies...

I am referring to the way new technology allows for the return of old sins.

...That is what angers God.

No, the tower itself was not the cause of God’s ire.

It was something different, but related.

Huh...!

...God was truly grieving for mankind’s hearts.

At the time, all the people of the world shared a single king and a single nation.

The king held the hearts of men and would lead them.

If the king did evil, so would the rest of humanity, without knowing it was evil.

God grieved for the weakness in the hearts of humanity.

My father knew this, and his fear of God’s ordeal grew ever stronger in recent years.

In this day of instant, world- wide communication, one’s voice can have wide range.

The act of delivering an individual will was once only available to kings...

Now, anyone can disseminate his will to all the people of the world.

So? That’s progress!

Anyone can easily broadcast vast amounts of information out into the world.

In reverse, anyone can find any information they could want...

...even if this information is malicious in nature.

...I see. I’ve noticed that myself.

There aren’t many people who believe everything on the Internet, but some do...

There’s a lot of mis- information and outright lying on the net, too.

That’s probably how a lot of stupid urban legends get started...

Incorrect information may not be harmful in and of itself.

But knowledge of things such as how to make bombs, or how to steal, or how to kill...

This can be all found on the Internet, if you know where to look.

...!

I see. If someone found that information, and did something because of it...

Indeed... Not all humans are capable of determining right from wrong.

As more people become involved in virtual lives, they become more secluded.

People turn away from what they need to know and run towards comforting lies.

If mankind forgets how to judge itself, God will surely take over for us.

If so, humanity may not be strong enough to endure His ordeal...

And so, to save mankind, my father turned not to the ”God” currently ruling the heavens.

Instead, he borrowed the power of a different being, one that had been a ”god” before.

Yes. He founded the religion and created a contract with Master Belberith.

The first Bel was defeated in a battle against God.

Its soul and power became divided during its fall from the heavens, becoming the Bels.

Master Belberith is said to be the most powerful of the demons descended from Bel.

...That is why his desire for revenge against God and lust for power are so great...

Master Belberith’s goal is to take back the power of Bel from Babel, and battle God.

That is probably why he answered father’s call to stand up to God’s ordeal.

My father wanted to prevent another catastrophe... Their interests had a common goal.

My father wanted to prevent the tragedy of the tower of Babel from happening again.

Just as mankind was controlled by a king’s voice to construct the tower...

In this current day, a single voice can reach all across the civilized world.

My father believed that this ability to spread corruption would bring about God’s wrath.

Master Belberith wanted the power sleeping within Babel to challenge God once again. They shared a common interest in the act of defying God...

I see... So Belberith heard your father’s ideals, and lent him his strength...

Thanks, Amane. I think I kind of get it now.

With Belzaboul defeated, there is nothing to prevent us from reaching the highest floor.

That’s right! Let’s hurry and... Oh...

Hey, that reminds me. The elevators... They aren’t working, are they...?

Oh, right, no electricity... That’s not going to work.

Arrrrgh! So we have to walk all the way up there!? That’s going to take forever!

Naoya... What was all that about?

Just as Name was Abel... He must have been Cain.

Abel’s brother... The first murderer in history...

Yes... By his own hand, Cain slew his brother Abel.

H-Hey... You said Naoya was Cain, right?

So... if Name has the essence of Abel...

Does that mean Naoya’s some guy with the essence of Cain?

Hold on... You mentioned that Naoya was Cain, yes?

Then wouldn’t that mean, just as Name holds Abel’s essence...

Naoya is an ordinary human with the essence of Cain?

W-Wait a sec... You said a second ago that Naoya was Cain, right?

Well, if Nickname has the essence of Abel...

Does that mean Naoya’s someone with the essence of Cain...?

No...

When Abel was killed, his essence was widely inherited as seeds for the future.

But Cain’s punishment from God was to be forever reincarnated while bearing that sin.

While bearing the sin...?

It is the accumulation of memories...

However often he is reborn, he remembers everything. He must continue to face his sin.

...Not so.

It’s... to give Cain time to gain awareness of what he’s done.

Cain claims he killed Abel because he wasn’t loved by God, but that isn’t true.

If God didn’t love him, He wouldn’t have given Cain time to reflect on his actions.

The accumulation of memories is God’s love, that he might truly understand his crime.

God wants him to understand his sin...

I see... God desires that he be made aware of his sin...

He has to understand his own sin... That’s what God wants?

Unfortunately... He seems to have spent the time plotting his revenge against God.

Yes...

Abel is God’s child... So he sought to make Abel lead demons in a war against God.

How painful it would be to Him for His child to consort with demons and rebel...

That was the revenge Cain undertook in return for his punishment.

Wow, that’s twisted... Still, there’s no need to sacrifice Nickname for that.

But if he’s been reincarnated with the same memories since the beginning...

His grudge must have gotten stronger every time. I kinda feel bad for him...

Indeed... I wonder when his soul will find peace.

Yeah...

So even when he was reborn, he never lost the memories of his past lives...

No wonder he was so good at predicting the future and people’s actions and stuff...

All his memories of the people he met and the things he saw were one big database...

Then what was that strange demon that attacked us near the end? Loki, was it...?

So what was that weird demon that attacked us? Its name was like, Loki...?

Oh yeah, what was that weird demon that attacked us? Its name was Loki or something...

Loki is a trickster god of Norse mythology.

Trickster...?

...Twister?

Trickster...?

Loki was half giant, and so an enemy to the gods, but also half god with his own powers.

As both god and giant, he would deceive or assist whoever he pleased, friend or foe.

Their interference has wasted our time... Let us get back to summoning Babel.

The corruption of Tokyo is progressing even as we speak. Let us hurry...!

Did we... win?

Is it over...?

It is over, right?

Remiel told me a moment ago... All the powers of Bel have gathered into Name...

Rather, into God’s child Abel, and the war for the Throne of Bel has come to an end.

And lo... a king is born.

Um, all this means the final option is called off, right? What about the lockdown...?

...There is no need to worry.

Remiel has sworn upon his own name and on God’s to lift the lockdown and restore peace.

A-And we can trust him...?

...The angels may neither deceive nor lie.

Their words are unvarnished truth.

Dad... We did it!

So it’s finally over... I feel like he’ll be able to rest in peace now...

We did it, Nickname! They’re finally gonna lift the lockdown!

We really did it!

I feel like all my fatigue has just... poof!

Yeah...!

Not only that, but Nickname’s an overlord now! Uh, I mean... a Messiah!

Y... Yeah...

What’s wrong?

Oh... Um, it’s nothing...

It’s just... Nickname still looks normal, but... he’s not human anymore.

...I’m sorry. I had no right to say that. You went through so much, Nickname...

Alright... thanks.

Nickname...! I’m so glad you said that! Oh, of course I will!

Nickname...

Even with power like that... You’re still Nickname.

Yeah... I know you’re gonna be okay.

Hell yeah! That goes double for me! We got this far ’cause we believed in Nickname.

If I’d been in his shoes... I could never have carried such a heavy burden...

That’s why I decided the least I could do was to follow Nickname with a smile!

Atsuro...

Sheez, that was kinda cool... For you, I mean.

What do you mean, ”for you”? Figures... Same old Yoohoo...

You little--Don’t call me Yoohoo!

I’m glad I came with you. We’re about to enter a truly just world...

Well done, Name... God’s desires have been met.

The king of demons will kneel before the Lord, and his power will be used for order.

A world of total order, free of all sin and chaos, will surely begin...

Attention, everyone.

A temporary order lifting the lockdown has been issued. It will be lifted shortly.

Specific directions to follow. Please stay calm and await further notice.

We thank you all for your patient cooperation.

I repeat...

Tch... Lockdown’s over, huh? Looks like it’s back to dullsville...

Those kids really did it...

Heh... Well, how about that?

...They’ve done it. Speaking frankly, no mission has ever been this painful for me.

Indeed... And it isn’t over just yet.

People are leaving seven days of danger and confinement...

If we mishandle this, another panic could start. Our job has just begun.

Yes, Sir. But this mission... It doesn’t involve demons, correct?

Haha... Then sign me up as your first volunteer.
