Suddenly before she say goodbye, her speech was interrupted by everyone's screams as they witnessing the terror of the Apocalypse's mist, manipulating people of the Goseigahara into the horde of all soldiers and start to riots every stadiums around the world.

Just then, the Judgement army joins the army on fray, distracting the AceStrikers from Overlord as he summons the revived Kataktis with Apocalypse Helmet. Though the AceStrikers manage to destroy all of the army, they are confronted by Lord Azazel, who revealed that Overlord is actually Argus, Aegle's older brother who has been kidnapped and turned him into an evil lord under his order.

Summoning a horde of Haisha monsters, Kataktis attacks the AceStrikers, who fought back with GodStriker in attempt to break the helmet only to find themselves pushed back and overwhelmed by his powerful beam.
