## Summary

Ely realizes that Chandra is currently inside her and reacts in panic. But not even a moment later Noh Mask appears and lifts the girl into the air, curious about her abilities and intent on stealing them. However he stops, thinking he might be absorbed too and notices a figure in the distance.

Yubiko appears in front of him, battered after the battle but victorious, dragging an apparently unconscious Azuma by the cloak.
Noh mask prevents her from killing the boy, declaring that he shares the same blood as Tokio and has a personal interest in the him.
He then asks Yubiko what skills he had shown but she replies that they were nothing special, however she notes the boy's potential. Before parting, Yubiko reminds Noh Mask to pay her to her anonymous account as she has finished her work.

As the two spoke Tokio had been paralyzed with terror at the sight of his friends in the clutches of their enemies.
Noh Mask thus opens a portal in the sky using the slit in his arm to transport himself and the two defeated Choujins and invites Tokio to follow him, leaving Yubiko alone to smoke and rest.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the island Hiroto patiently watched as Shant, Maiko and Roja wear themselves out fighting the seemingly endless army of skeletons.
After receiving a notification on his phone communicating the end of their mission as they have captured Tokio, he decides to stay on the island anyway to take full advantage of the opportunity that the situation offers him and with the desire to subject the two female Choujin to his "hobby", thinking that for sure it won't be god almighty to hit him if he stays a little longer.

Just after this thought his entire field of vision is filled with deformed faces and visions so overwhelming that they force him to accept the existence of a god who is absolute. Behind him Sato emerges and applies "Psycho Share Glitch" to a level that brings Hiroto's mind to collapse. While their enemy obsessively writes "god", Sato explains to a terrified Maiko how the Choujin's abilities seemed dynamic but required subtle control and made him vulnerable to sudden attacks, cheerfully concluding that the man could be an important source of intel and they needed his help.

At that moment Simon appears in front of them dragging himself along and asking why Sato came back to the island. Sato offhandedly states that he "forgot an important book" before asking if Maiko was still strong and following him after helping Simon. However, this does not give in and asks to accompany them motivated by his desire for revenge against the "Chimera" and his promise to save Tokio but gets a clear refusal from Sato.

Somewhere else Tokio emerges from the other side of the portal and finds himself in a dark hall with a door made up of human parts behind him.
