After managing to subdue Yukimura, the excess energy from the overloaded Eradication rule begins to flow into the Protagonist's Sacred Artifact. As the Protagonist and Toji prepare to reset the hierarchy, Toji is visibly uncomfortable about what he has to do but is able to force himself through it. Once the APP resets itself and they return outside Hills Tower, Toji, having come to respect the Protagonist and feeling guilty about the role he played in the recent Exception event, asks if he could join their guild, to which the Protagonist immediately accepts. The others then catch up to them and express their relief that they survived, though Kengo relays that Shiro is still too wiped out to thank them in person. The group then splits up to go their separate ways: the remaining Tycoons return to Hills Tower to begin restructuring how their guild is run; Tadatomo wholely accepts the Protagonist as the one he's meant to serve, but requests time off to properly learn how to reign in his emotions; Alice and Jambavan leave early to tend to the matter of erasing | After managing to subdue Yukimura, the excess energy from the overloaded Eradication rule begins to flow into the Protagonist's Sacred Artifact.

Cut to Ikebukuro Colosseum. As the chaos surrounding the Tycoons' invasion and the Exception dies down, Babalon's motivation for providing Shadow soldiers to Hakumen is revealed: she needed everyone's attention focused on the Tycoons so that her own guild, the [[Genociders]], would be able to eliminate the [[Berserkers]] with minimal interference. As Kirito and fellow guild members {{Transient icon|Surtr}} and {{Transient icon|Azathoth}} look on, Babalon begins the next phase off her plan. | Cut to Ikebukuro Colosseum.
