The decisive battle is imminent. Hoederer, Ines, and W envision the future. Hoederer suggests that the Sarkaz cannot deny Theresis, arguing with W. The previously missing Feranmut skeleton finally returns, and the fight begins.

Lettou bids farewell to his comrades in Londinium, he visits the old man who could never become a Vieux Vanguard, and finally goes to the Sanguinarch of Vampires. While he is unable to kill the Sanguinarch, he chooses to splatter him with his own despicable blood.

The Sanguinarch rushes to the battlefield. Using 'Teekaz blood' preserved for millennia, he completes the last step of the ritual. Something is about to be born atop The Shard. Amiya and Logos confront him.

Hoederer, Ines, and W take control of Ulšulah, who could manipulate the Feranmut skeleton. The Sanguinarch of Vampires uses his blood to take command of the Feranmut skeleton, commanding it to a space beyond civilization.

Amiya and Logos confront the Sanguinarch of Vampires, who, enraged at the increasing weakness of those chosen by the Crown, decides to abandon it beyond the edge of civilization. After a challenging battle, the Sanguinarch falls from the Feranmut skeleton.

Things take an unexpected turn as sinister red clouds above the Shard cover the entire battlefield. Meanwhile, Manfred prepares to reclaim the Lifebone.

Siege receives intelligence on the Duke of Caster from Trilby Asher, which helps the Rhodes Islanders understand the battlefield and devise their battle plans.

The Exemplars and Rhodes Island join forces to stop the Military Commission from bringing the complete descent of Amnannam.

The Rhodes Islanders search for the Blood of Teekaz, a key influence on Amnannam, only to find themselves greeted by familiar faces and chased down by a Sudaram.

Led by Siege, the Exemplars arrive in Gibsonham, where Horn and Bagpipe reunite. Their reunion is abruptly interrupted by an unexpected visitor: the Duke of Gododdin.

The Duke of Gododdin invites Siege and the Exemplars to act on behalf of Parliament, but Siege remains distrustful. Meanwhile, Closure detects a legion of Nachzehrers.

Thanks to timely reinforcements from other Rhodes Islanders, Closure sets up signal towers, restoring communications. Meanwhile, the Exemplars and Gododdin's forces successfully defend the town of Gibsonham.

W, Hoederer, and the others defend the Lifebone crash site, but W's mercenaries vanish in the unfamiliar environment. While searching for them, W and her team are attacked by strange monsters.

After defeating the strange monsters with her mercenaries, W enters the Confessarius ruins alone. Meanwhile, a captured Ulšulah finds an opportunity and escapes from Hoederer.

Manfred's troops approach Lifebone with Ulšulah's help. W engages Qalid'čoa and unexpectedly learns the truth of Theresa's rebirth.

W hears Theresa's echo, and finally accepts that Theresa has joined the myriad souls. She lays down her burden and prepares to truly face Theresa.

The Royal Court's troops attack Lifebone. W makes an explosive entry and meets up with Ines. Manfred sneaks into Lifebone and deals Hoederer a mortal blow.

In the ducal alliance camp, Siege finds the Victorian soldiers ill-prepared for the drastically different battlefield conditions. Meanwhile, the Nachzehrer King enters the warzone to personally lead his army.

The Exemplars meet the enemy on the battlefield. The Duke of Caster receives news that Siege has brought the Realmblade to the front lines. Dublinn's forces, led by Eblana, join the battlefield, and the duel between the Duke of Wellington and the Nachzehrer King begins.

The Rhodes Island group follows the trail of the Blood of Teekaz and makes their way to a Confessarius altar set up on the battlefield. However, they find themselves intercepted by Salus, and a number of strange creatures.

Amiya and the Doctor confront and defeat Salus once more, and the company chases after Salus' route of escape in search of the Blood of Teekaz.

The Nachzehrer King receives an aid request from the battlefield's rear, and decides to withdraw from the front lines to attend to the matter personally. The Duke of Wellington also carries out an action that runs contrary to his plan. The battle situation immediately shifts, and the Duke of Caster's warship, the Gloriana, is crushed in an instant.

The warship carrying the Stone of the Sword – the Gloriana – is besieged by the Sarkaz. To preserve the glimmer of victory, Siege, assisted by her companions, charges towards the Gloriana with Realmblade in hand.

The Stone of the Sword and the Realmblade become one, temporarily dispelling the Originium storm scourging the battlefield. Morale uplifted, the Victorian alliance begins their counterattack. Logos stays behind to hold back the Sudaram, and prepares to face the Nachzehrer King alone.

Logos fights the Nachzehrer King and rings his own death knell.

Logos recreates Theresis's swordsmanship with witchcraft, cutting off the Nachzehrer King's arm. He falls off the cliff in the process, but is saved by a combat platform imbued with the Banshee's will.

Shining honors her own promise before the Confessarii, and prepares to bring Nightingale back. The Followers' final member, Margaret, finally makes it to her friends.

Shining and Margaret repel the Confessarius at the cost of shattering Nightingale's soul, and his servant Qalid'čoa carries him to safety. At the same time, Salus uses her own blood to boil the Blood of Teekaz.

Under Theresa's control, the airship seems to be on a collision course with Amnannam. W and Doctor's team board the airship in a bid to stop Theresa and Amnannam's plan.

The boarding party's plans aboard the airship are disrupted by the revenant, with the team separated from one another. W saves the Doctor from falling, while Kal'tsit is trapped by herself.

In a bizarre team-up, the Doctor and W continue looking for the airship's core, only to find an enemy who looks particularly similar to the assassin who murdered Theresa years ago. Now, they are on the Military Commission's side.

Taking the opportunity of the airship's crystallization, the Doctor works with W to break through the enemy blockade and find the core of the airship. But there is no Theresa here, only the revenant.

Amiya overcomes Babel's enemies from the past, and hurries over to the Doctor and W. Kal'tsit also successfully breaks free and reunites with the group. Amiya sees the revenant's entire life and prepares for a final showdown.

W aids Amiya in confronting the revenant, and successfully dismantles its core. The airship begins to go out of control as it loses power, and the wrathful revenant has no further misgivings about attacking everyone in the team.

Theresa finally shows as the revenant dissipates, rescuing it and entering an unknown space.

The Doctor awakens in an unknown space, accompanied by Priestess.

The Doctor leaves that mysterious place, only to appear in Rhodes Island, surrounded by unexpected companions.

Within the Assimilated Universe stands a great tower that touches the sky, and everyone believes that Theresa awaits them at the top. Rhodes Island carries everyone to the tower, and Logos stays behind to face the will of the myriad souls alone.

Everyone walks along the path to the top of the tower that touches the sky. When they arrive at the peak, heaven and earth invert.

The team encounters the rescued revenant at the top of the tower. It tells them of Theresa's ambition, and Theresa appears with awe-inspiring presence.

The inevitable battle begins. It's a battle between W and Her Highness, and also between Amiya and the Sarkaz King she once admired.

Theresa is defeated, but completes her final mission. For a moment, every Sarkaz senses the thorough dissipation of the myriad souls. The Doctor and Amiya bring everyone out of the Assimilated Universe.

Theresis enters the Assimilated Universe to fight against Originium's will.

Theresis and Ascalon battle atop the collapsed tower.

The infected Cautus has not died. She's been saved, though she does not know by whom, and taken to a place beyond her comprehension. Three years after the Londinium incident, many operators on Rhodes Island set out to provide reinforcements to various locations.

PRTS is functioning abnormally. Kal'tsit begins preparations for dismantling and preparing Rhodes Island to deal with a threat from the Abyss.

While secretly transporting key modules from the ship, Rhodes Island comes under a premeditated attack—but thanks to the Doctor and elite operators, the threat is successfully neutralized.

Though Kal'tsit strongly disagreed with the approach, she was—as always—willing to honor the plan Amiya and the Doctor put forth, and to offer her protection.

The Doctor and Amiya complete their neural link, and with the help of the Black Crown, they prepare to cross over the boundary of Civilight Eterna. Amiya sees for herself the tale the Doctor once told her. The Cautus Infected spots a mysterious elf out in deep space.

The Cautus Infected learns that the master of the ship she is on is called 'Priestess'. When Amiya crosses the boundary and runs into danger, the Doctor comes to her side. Together, they press onwards, helping each other along the way.

The Doctor and Amiya see Priestess in the information stored within the Black Crown. From a fragment of Oracle's experimental records, they obtain the knowledge they seek.

The Doctor returns from the Deep Dive and is tested by Kal'tsit for cognitive stability. They begin to utilize the knowledge obtained to Rhodes Island's advantage. In an unknown realm, the Cautus Infected sees the 'God' who saved her.

Friston-3 dreams, despite never having been fitted with the capability to do so by Closure. Popukar wakes up to see unfamiliar figures on the ship's portholes. Something strange is happening to Rhodes Island.

Rhodes Island seems to come alive, its internal structure shifting randomly and cutting off all communications. In search of a solution, Kal'tsit enters the Sarcophagus that once held the Doctor, and provides support to the other operators onboard.

Priestess shows the information contained within Originium to the Cautus Infected—past events that Priestess witnessed, revealing a glimpse of the threat to civilization.

Kal'tsit gets unexpected help in the Sarcophagus. She cuts off her connection with Mon3tr, freeing it, and restoring communications between the operators on the ship, who come together to fight the rampaging PRTS.

Friston-3 brings the buggies back under control. The elite operators move to rendezvous with the Doctor. Mission objective: Support Kal'tsit and penetrate the Abyss.

The Rhodes Island team rescues a weakened Kal'tsit from the Sarcophagus. They prepare to enter the Abyss and face the threat from within Rhodes Island—the core of the rampaging PRTS, and perhaps an awakened Priestess.

As the group enters the Abyss, Priestess relocates the Doctor, Kal'tsit, and Amiya onto the deck, leaving the rest to fight PRTS's attacks.

The Doctor, Kal'tsit, and Amiya give it their all as they stand against Priestess.

The Doctor, Kal'tsit, and Amiya give it their all as they stand against Priestess.

The Doctor, Kal'tsit, and Amiya give it their all as they stand against Priestess.

Amiya manages to draw on the knowledge of the Black Crown to delay Priestess. Communication with the Doctor is restored. The first priority is to overcome the crisis that Priestess and PRTS have brought.

The Doctor and Amiya successfully evacuate the ship, which becomes encased in Originium. Mon3tr awakens one month later, but Kal'tsit is no longer by her side.

Rhodes Island enters Bresk to continue their search, which attracts the attention of the city guards. After helping the search party out of a tricky situation, Imperial Guardswoman Eloysius Gorchekova informs them of abnormal Infected in the mines, and seeks cooperation with Rhodes Island in investigating the matter.

Raidian leads a team back into Ursus to find information on the Sarcophagus. The miners of the Far Northern Central Mining District kill a Patrol Unit that attacked them, wanting to leave the district. To remove the positioning chips within the miners' bodies, their leader Rankin asks Raidian for help, who is also in the district at the time.

After Eloysius discusses matters with the Grand Duchess, she gives a recommendation to Rhodes Island, but the mistress of the Far North allows only the Doctor to meet with her. Eloysius and the Doctor contend with the Grand Duchess, finally obtaining official permission to enter the Far North's mining district.

To avoid the corrupting Dominion, the team decides to take a detour to the research institute, resolving an unusual conflict between some Infected and a Patrol Unit along the way. After entering the institute, Eloysius and Amiya discover many uninfected corpses, while the Doctor and Mon3tr find the researcher who may know about the Sarcophagus's whereabouts.

Doctor and Mon3tr learn from Ksenia, who attempted suicide but survived, about a suspected Royal Guard murder. The party once again formulates their plan of action and decides to split into two. A few days ago, the miners used their chips as bait and ambushed the Patrol Unit.

Ksenia wakes up. The Doctor and Mon3tr try asking her for clues to the Sarcophagus and Raidian's squad's whereabouts. Amiya and Mantra find a signal left behind by Raidian, and learn where the miners could have gone. As the miners escape, they run into a tragedy.

The miners celebrate their brief victory, with the exception of the father who killed his own son, and two friends at odds with each other. In the researcher's recollection, it all began with the discovery of a new substance in an exhausted mine shaft.

Ksenia takes the Doctor and Mon3tr to the mines to obtain a sample of 'Oka'. The fugitive miners abandon their vehicle after it runs out of power. Rankin seeks help from a nearby village and gets it, but they do not realize the impending danger.

They never truly killed the Royal Guard in the nightmares of Rankin, leader of the miners.

The mad miner believes it is his duty to kill the villagers, just as he had to kill his son when they stole the vehicles. Fire rages across the village, and it is as though Rankin's nightmare has come true.

Rankin attempts to take responsibility for the fire, but the surviving villagers refuse to allow it. The true culprit is judged and executed, resulting in a split among the miners. Vetochki, who chose to stay, begins to question herself in her sorrow.

Amiya's team arrives at the village after the fire and finds Raidian's team. They discuss what to do with the villagers and the remaining miners. Raidian goes to ask what the miners think, but something abnormal happens, and Mantra investigates.

In face of the 'waterfall' of Oka, Mon3tr discovers its true nature. The Doctor realizes that Priestess is offering an invitation to continue the debate. Deep in the mines, a mutated manglerbeast roars.

Mon3tr ends the mutated manglerbeast's pain. The trio return to the lab. Mantra confirms the presence of the Yurodstvo in the village and its connection to the Royal Guard. She seems to have found a way out of the current situation.

Rankin takes the miners who left the village with him and enter a mine in an attempt to circumvent a nearby outpost. There is no way out, but he finds many who have suffered and endured just like they have, who are willing to join the struggle.

The Fourth Army sends a herald, requesting the Grand Duchess's silence while they suppress the 'rebellion'. The Doctor's team uses the lab's emergency communications equipment to send a message to the others.

Rankin's group successfully take the outpost, only to come face-to-face with the arrival of the Ursine Armies after lighting the torch of victory. In the village, Vetochki rediscovers her memories with Mantra's help, and reveals the Yurodstvo's true nature.

Mantra cuts off the Yurodstvo's influence and awakens the miners with Vetochki's help. Raidian intercepts military communications, revealing that the Armies are slaughtering miners in the Far North to cover up the truth. Mantra then sends a broadcast and exposes everything.

During the evacuation, some of the miners give up their chance to board the vehicles and go in the opposite direction with torches raised, hoping to draw the Army's fire. As more and more die, Amiya raises her sword and creates a wall of fire on the ice, which stops the Army's shelling.

A matter of choice.

A matter of protection.

A matter of honesty.

A matter of trust.

A matter of self.

The past and the future. Theresa catches a glimpse of the answer to life in the Originium's sea of information.

Rankin, we made it. The village near the Ursus-Kazimierz border, where Reunion is. This warm... egalitarian, idealistic place.

A sunken city resurfaces. An abandoned mining lamp is relit. Anything can happen in times like these.

When the gunfire ceases and the screams grow quiet, I'll be back by my mother's side, like when I was born.

The charity of the virtuous shall reach every corner of this great land.

Wei Yenwu's calculations and ruthlessness are terrifying, but evident are his qualifications as the Chief of Lungmen.

Rhodes Island chooses to continue to cooperate for its own goals.

An account of the childhood of Mephisto and Faust, and their encounter with Talulah.

Trapped beneath the ruins, the Doctor talks with FrostNova about her past, her family, and her beliefs.

Then, she makes a small bet with the Doctor.

Lungmen is safe, but questioning and censure rages in Wei Yenwu's office. Kal'tsit then brings the latest intelligence report - Chernobog's core is on a collison course with Lungmen.

Things are far from over.
