The AX members, the Department of Inquisition, and the Ghetto work together to try to take down the giant airship. With the help of everyone, Brother Petros manages to stab it, as Father Leon destroys the Aegis Shield. The ship explodes, killing Isaak.
Elsewhere, Father Tres ejects blood full of nanomachines into Abel's grave. Sister Esther arrives just as Cain does. Tres attempts to fend him off, but is thrown across the room. Abel jumps out of his grave and uses 100% of his Crusnik power. Cain goes 100% as well, and they fly up into the sky.
In the past, Cain, Abel, Seth, and Lilith are on board a ship in space. Abel says that he hates "the people down there" for creating them for the Mars Colonization Project. Lilith, the mother figure, tells Abel that they are human too. Cain retains his positive, innocent attitude, much to a fearful Seth.
In the present, Abel and Cain continue to fight and soon knock themselves far away from each other in the distant sky. Esther looks on stating that they will fight each other until the end.
Lady Caterina and Astaroshe talk and form a treaty between the two powers.
Later, after the battle is over, Esther is crowned Queen by the Pope. The two say a prayer together for the future of the world.
Meanwhile, Abel walks forward in a desert. Ion approaches him stating that he wants to defeat the Contra Mundi as well. Abel tells him that the path to Cain will be a difficult one. Ion assures him that he can do it, and the two walk off together.
