Metropoliman has acquired three Red Arrows and three Wings from the previously eliminated God candidates. Nanato states that the best option for Mirai is to kill Metropoliman with a White Arrow, though Mirai may not have the courage to do this. The news later reports that the body of middle schoolgirl Hikari Yaishi was discovered on the rooftop of the Grand Tower, where her common carotid artery and both wrists were slashed by a sharp blade. Realizing that Misurin is located hovering above the Grand Tower, Nanato equips Mirai with a red motorsport costume, while Saki holds down the fort in her bedroom.

Metropoliman appears from the rising smoke behind Mirai, who finally confronts Metropoliman for his sinister methods of eliminating the competition by sacrificing ordinary humans. Despite Metropoliman unveiling that he has planted a second bomb in another location, Nanato calls this bluff and proceeds to stop Metropoliman.

Metropoliman is then recklessly attacked by Mirai with his Red Arrow, though Mirai is forced to dodge Metropoliman with his White Arrow at high speeds. Nanato tries to restrain Metropoliman with firearms, though Mirai holds back from shooting his Red Arrow after seeing a glimpse of Metropoliman's face. Metropoliman then quickly evades the area.

Recalling when Mirai gave her a spotted yellow ladybug on a four-leaf clover to symbolize their everlasting friendship since childhood, Saki felt ashamed that she used to bully Mirai after his parents died. She also witnessed him jumping off the tower block on the day of the middle school graduation, which compelled her to drown herself at sea. After Saki requests Mirai to kill her, he takes her to the sky, convincing her to regain her will to live. The next day, Saki has a new attitude as she tells Mirai and Nanato that their meeting place will be relocated inside an abandoned church instead of her bedroom. Baret then informs Saki about the four methods on how to acquire Wings involving a previously eliminated God candidate, though a safer option is if Revel could be promoted as a first-rank angel. ||||||

When his mother committed suicide by hanging, Hajime nearly followed suit until meeting first-rank angel Balta. Hajime became obsessed with Metropoliman, who is his polar opposite. Despite obtaining wealth before getting cosmetic facial surgery and a new hairdo, he still had poor communication skills. When the news reported the incident at the Grand Tower, Hajime eventually learned of Kanade's identity as Metropoliman, wishing to become his loyal subordinate.

As Metropoliman leaves Hajime to finish the job, Mirai and Nanato try to trick Hajime into thinking that they managed to escape without being seen. At the church, Saki sees herself as useless since she cannot fight without Wings. Upon reflecting his own powerlessness, Revel sheds tears for the first time.

| Mirai approach Fuyuko on the Ferris wheel, while Saki, Nanato and Hajime are helpless to stop Mirai. As Fuyuko prepares to inject Mirai with the untested drug, Mirai grabs Fuyuko by the hand before shooting a White Arrow at the airborne virus moments after it is released. Now having the best opportunity to kill Fuyuko with his White Arrow, Mirai internally struggles with achieving happiness by attempting murder. A depleted Nanato tries to aim a rifle at Metropoliman as a distraction. Metropoliman shoots his White Arrow while Fuyuko releases three syringes containing the untested drug, both aimed at Mirai. Saki shields Mirai, which redirects the White Arrow back to Metropoliman's possession. After severing two syringes, Hajime is consequently pierced by the third syringe, though he still manages to kill Fuyuko with his sword before melting to death. As Mirai and Saki mourns the death of Hajime, Metropoliman scoffs at the fact that Hajime lived an insignificant life similar to a cockroach. Susumu chickens out of the battle after having witnessed everything, while Nanato is down for the count. Believing that Metropoliman is lower than a cockroach, Mirai preserves his happiness by planning to only shoot Red Arrows at Metropoliman. ||||||

In the past, Kanade displayed his affection for Rea by decorating her bedroom with flowers and aiding her in the tennis court due to their socioeconomic status. Rea was invited to go on a date with a boy, but a possessive Kanade begged Rea to stay. Rea stumbled and fell off the balcony, suffering a cerebral contusion from hitting her head on a stone before being cushioned by the flowers. After keeping Rea's corpse in a freeze chamber, Kanade met Meyza for the first time. In the present, Susumu secretly exposes the duel to the public via live streaming, though the location remains censored.

In order to prevent Metropoliman from shooting his White Arrow, Mirai uses his Wings to block Metropoliman's field of vision and grabs onto Metropoliman's right hand. Instead, Metropoliman uses his left hand to stab Mirai, but Mirai's red motorsport costume proves to be impenetrable. Saki then grabs onto Metropoliman's left hand, allowing Mirai and Saki to link together while binding Metropoliman. Making peace with himself as being a hero, Nanato uses his remaining strength to walk with his rifle towards Metropoliman, who confesses that he has been fighting in honor of Rea.

It is revealed that Shuji previously released Saki, Yuri and Manami before lending his White Arrow to Yuri. Although Gaku thinks that he is not a genius, the public says otherwise. As it is concluded that happiness can only be achieved through others, Gaku prepares to commit suicide. However, it is unanimously decided that Shuji will become the successor, thus ending the selection process. Upon consent, the memories of Masaya, Manami and Yuri are erased, while the memories of Mirai, Saki and Gaku are retained. ||||||

| Ascending into the Celestial Realm, where time moves slower than on Earth, Shuji realizes that God is beginning to fuse with him. Yuri is shown to be the assistant of Gaku, who is analyzing the effects of the Red Arrow that Shuji left behind, but to no avail. Deciding to run a flower shop that sells four-leaf clovers, Mirai and Saki notably become an engaged couple before getting married at the church. Nasse tells Shuji that the other angels are worried about him. Six years have passed on Earth, and the handful of people that Shuji knew are living happy lives. However, Shuji has an epiphany after seeing so many people greatly divided in socioeconomic status. He then shoots himself with a White Arrow. His suicide also kills the old God, which causes the Celestial Realm and everything in it to gradually vanish, never to return. All living beings on Earth also gradually vanish, as Mirai and Saki accept their fate and die happily together. With Earth left as a barren wasteland, an endless number of unknown life forms from outer space primarily wonder if they should seed another God, though they ultimately declare that everyone desires death. ||||||
