Angel learned that Empress Roselle’s true Demoness card held different potion rituals from her own and confirmed the Sequence 0 ritual. As the world recovered from war and the apocalypse loomed, Angel prepared to confront Cheek with Klein’s help.

• Anne delivered Ilian Sauron a letter with the Unaging Demoness potion formula, ritual, materials, and Beyonder characteristic; Helene resolved to reconcile with her mirror self, while Tracy took out a glowing charm.

Tracy chose not to use the Ice Crystal Charm to warn her mother about Ilian Sauron’s advancement, but Reinette confiscated it and brought it to Anne Gustav. Anne finished restoring the city’s laws, altered the rules governing Mirror Persons, and told Angel they could begin.

• Tracy considered crushing the Ice Crystal Charm to warn her mother, but put it away because she did not want to endanger Helene’s dream.

Angel relayed Cheek’s true honorific name to Klein, who alerted the gods and his allies as the Great Terror turned toward the City of Calamity.

• Cheek carried the immobilized Angel toward Fourth Epoch Trier and explained that she had anticipated Angel’s plan and had been waiting for a blessed one of the City of Calamity.
• Cheek revealed that she and Tudor had sought to merge the Demoness and Red Priest pathways with the City of Calamity, and that their union in Bethel’s Special Mirror World had given birth to the Great Terror.

Cheek revealed her plan to fuse Angel, Tudor, the two aspects of the Mirrored Original Creator, and the City of Calamity, while preparing to merge the black-dressed Demoness into Angel. As the fusion began, Klein remained unable to locate Angel, but the Mother of the Sky told him that a future Angel of Redemption was working to find her.

The Demoness Sect’s attack on Partis faltered when Talia and Katarina betrayed their allies, helping Glaide defeat the Azure Witch and break the battlefield divisions. The Orange Witch revealed herself as Amon, and the chapter ended with the birth of a god of the Error pathway.

• Yalunna ordered Katarina to use Love's Dread to unleash a catastrophe against Glaide’s clay soldiers, but the Weather Warlock survived the assault.
• Talia arrived from the city carrying Tamara’s Ever-changing Card and joined the Demonesses of Unaging against Glaide.

• The angels’ opponents suddenly switched, and errors across the world were corrected as clocks skipped several seconds.
• The Orange Witch put on a monocle and looked toward the island where Mr. "Door" was returning to reality, revealing that a god of the Error pathway had been born.

Bethel Abraham's divided self let Amon steal his apotheosis and become the Error pathway's true god. Klein located the Special Mirror World, where Tudor and Cheek prepared to fuse with Angel, but Tudor sensed that something was wrong as Cheek began merging with Angel.

• Amon warned Bethel Abraham that he could not defeat the hostile newborn self within him, then asked for the Special Mirror World's location in exchange for a true god's promotion ritual.
• The newborn self tried to complete Bethel's apotheosis, but a Key of Stars characteristic escaped; Amon seized it and stole Bethel's ritual, characteristics, and Uniqueness.
• Amon became the Error pathway's true god, erased Bethel's newborn self, and prayed to Klein with the coordinates of the Special Mirror World.
• Klein recognized Amon as the Angel of Redemption, used Angel's Historical Projection to reach the Special Mirror World, and told the Mother of the Sky that he had found it.
• Cheek and Tudor prepared to fuse with Angel and create a mirrored Creator, but Tudor cried, "This is wrong!" as Cheek began merging with Angel.

Angel fought Cheek in the Special Mirror World after accepting the Original Creator’s feminine aspect, while Cheek used the Chaos Sea to maintain her status as a true god. As the battle shifted and Roselle began his Black Emperor resurrection, Adam appeared at the mausoleum and was engulfed by a five-headed shadow.

• Angel resisted the Creator’s mental imprint, gained control of the Apocalypse power, and attacked Cheek alongside Klein and the Mother of the Sky.
• Cheek used the Chaos Sea to create a fourth Sequence 1 characteristic and preserve her status as a true god, forcing Angel’s side to revise its plans.
• Angel, Klein, and the Mother of the Sky attacked Cheek, but their clash created a vast void before Cheek’s status suddenly fell back to that of a King of Angels.
• Klein parasitized Cheek and grafted his Spirit Body Threads onto hers, so Angel thrust the Sword of Glory into him to attack Cheek indirectly.
• The Uncertain Mist restarted Nast Solomon’s vortex and tried to corrupt Roselle, but Roselle declared that he had returned as Emperor of Intis and began his Black Emperor resurrection.
• Adam appeared at Roselle’s mausoleum as the Black Emperor Uniqueness and characteristics flew into Roselle, then a five-headed shadow rose and engulfed him.

Roselle resurrected as the Black Emperor, distorted the Uncertain Mist’s hold over its followers, and used the Magic Wishing Lamp with the Trunsoest Brass Book to alter rules concerning Mirror People and the Mirror World. Meanwhile, Bethel tried to seal the Flesh Door as the Great Mother forced her way into reality, leaving the crimson tide on the verge of crossing through.

• Bethel emerged through the Flesh Door as the Great Mother forced power through it, and Bethel tried to close the portal.
• The Great Mother’s power reopened the Flesh Door, and the crimson tide began to spill toward the island.

Amon sealed the Flesh Door with the second Blasphemy Slate and sacrificed himself to block the Mother Goddess of Depravity’s corruption from invading Earth. In the Special Mirror World, Klein and Angel joined forces with the Goddess to destroy Cheek’s many mirror images, but Cheek appeared again beside Angel.

• Amon used the second Blasphemy Slate to seal the Flesh Door as the crimson tide spread around it.
• The corruption created another Amon within him, but Amon sealed that self away and pressed his body against the slate to block the portal.
• Cheek survived Angel’s attack, then used her beauty and complete Mythical Creature Form to charm Angel, the Mother of the Sky, and Klein, who was transformed into a woman.
• Klein said he could influence the Special Mirror World, and Angel and the Mother of the Sky attacked Cheek while Klein grafted their attacks across her mirror images.
• Their combined powers formed a black point that swallowed Cheek and her mirror images, apparently destroying them.
• Cheek stepped out of nothingness beside Angel, leaving her destruction in doubt.

Angel, her mirror person, Klein, and the Mother of the Sky destroyed Cheek and the Mirror World, while Angel prepared to accommodate the Demoness Uniqueness. Meanwhile, Roselle used the reborn Mirror Worlds to enter the sealed Western Continent and help Adam–True Creator trap the Uncertain Mist through the Genie.

• Cheek reappeared through the Mirror World, but Angel’s mirror person arrived with the Conqueror’s Crown, and Klein stole the Fool’s Uniqueness from the Mother of the Sky.
• Klein used Fooling to bind Cheek to the Mirror World and make her witless, but she escaped the group’s first attack by merging with the surrounding space.
• Angel summoned a historical Chaos Demoness and joined her mirror person and the Mother of the Sky in destroying her, erasing Cheek and causing the Mirror Worlds to collapse.
• Angel’s mirror person urged her to accommodate Cheek’s Uniqueness immediately, while Klein escaped the burning Mirror World and Angel reached for Cheek’s statue.
• Roselle used the reborn Mirror Worlds to cross the barrier into the Western Continent, where he appealed to the faceless emperors of the Nation of Disorder for power against the Uncertain Mist.
• Roselle summoned the Genie, connecting him to the Uncertain Mist, and Adam–True Creator struck the Genie with the Chaos Sea slate to injure the Great Old One through that connection.

Roselle and the True Creator’s plan severely wounded the Uncertain Mist, while Angel accommodated the Demoness Uniqueness and became the new Master of the Mirror World. The Mirrored Original Creator then awakened within Angel, and Klein arrived as the Mirror Person put her to sleep.

• The First Blasphemy Slate’s chaos power struck the Genie and Roselle, consumed much of the Uncertain Mist’s corruption, and forced the Uncertain Mist to retreat from the cosmos.
• Roselle sealed the corruption gathered in the Shadow of the Beauty Goddess, and the Genie accepted the remaining mist as payment before returning to the Magic Wishing Lamp.
• The True Creator explained that the events had been arranged to wound the Uncertain Mist, cleanse Roselle’s corruption, and exploit the destruction of the Mirror Worlds; he also said Adam had become another foundation within him.

• Angel accommodated Cheek’s statue and Demoness Uniqueness, restoring the Mirror World and completing the ritual to become its master.
• The Mirrored Original Creator’s Feminine Aspect awakened inside Angel, but the Mirror Person used the Hidden Holy Emblem to render her unconscious; Klein then arrived.

Klein questioned Adam about Angel’s sleep and the events surrounding the battle, learning that Adam and the True Creator had merged and that their schemes helped thwart the Outer Deities’ plans. Adam revealed that the Mirror Person had orchestrated the battle and was the original Angel, while the Angel Klein loved was the Mirror Person.

• Klein found Angel asleep after accommodating the Uniqueness, and the Mirror Person brought her outside before Adam appeared and explained the Vortex plan.
• Adam revealed that he had joined the Vortex to cripple the Uncertain Mist, while Amon took Bethel’s place in the ritual and became Sequence 0.
• Adam explained that he and the True Creator had merged months earlier, with the True Creator’s humanity taking the lead.
• Klein learned that Adam had helped the Mirror Person guide the battle against Cheek, thwart Tudor’s resurrection, and clear the way for a Great Old One of Earth.
• Adam told Klein that the Mirror Person had devised the plan and was the original Angel, while the Angel Klein loved was the Mirror Person.

As the apocalypse drew near, the gathering ended with Klein asking the figure who resembled Angel the Empress whether she was the “Mirror Person” or the “original.”

• Fors explained that the Abraham Family had received two Key of Stars characteristics and a ritual guide after the strange events, and Mr. World confirmed that Bethel Abraham had become the Door before Amon took his place in the Apotheosis Ritual and became Error.
• Leonard said Amon’s next goal was to compete with Mr. Fool for the position of Lord of Mysteries, and Klein confirmed the members’ guesses and told Fors the curse on the Abraham Family had been lifted.
• Klein announced that the Primordial Demoness had fallen, and Cattleya linked the news to the tsunamis, earthquakes, and meteor shower across the seas.
• Klein warned that world-affecting events would become more frequent as the apocalypse drew near, and the Tarot Club members left the gathering.
• After the others departed, Chariot revealed a figure identical to Angel the Empress, and Klein asked whether she was the “Mirror Person” or the “original.”

Klein questioned Angel Gray about Angel’s fate and the choices that led her to accommodate the Demoness Uniqueness. Gray explained the plan and revealed that her mission to help Klein defeat the Celestial Worthy and become the Lord of Mysteries came from Grisha Adam and Klein’s future self.

• Angel Gray told Klein that Angel was asleep in the City of Calamity after accommodating the Demoness Uniqueness, protected from the awakening Original Creator.

• Gray revealed that her mission was to help Klein defeat the Celestial Worthy and become the true Lord of Mysteries, and that the mission came from Grisha Adam and Klein’s future self.

Angel Gray told Klein how her future self had transmigrated into Cole Granger’s Witch body and lived through a timeline that diverged from his own. She recounted her rise through the Demoness pathway and the Twilight Hermits Society’s influence, leaving Klein to question the origin of the Demoness promotion ritual and its card.

• Angel Gray said she awoke in Cole Granger’s body in Tingen on June 28, 1349, and Sharon Khoy helped her take on a new identity.
• Gray explained that Tris became a Witch, Sharon was exposed after her crimes were discovered, and Klein later killed Sharon during an operation in which Kenley White died.

• Klein asked whether Gray had undergone the real Sequence 4 ritual and wondered if future Roselle Gustav had created the ritual recorded on Angel’s Card of Blasphemy.

Angel Gray explained to Klein how she came from a doomed future to alter the present timeline and prevent the apocalypse. She revealed that Angel was now asleep and fighting the Mirrored Original Creator’s consciousness, leaving Klein and Gray needing to awaken her and help her gain dominance.

• Gray told Klein that in her original timeline, his battle with Amon left him and Adam unable to become complete Great Old Ones before the Outer Deities shattered Earth's barrier and began the apocalypse.
• Gray explained that Klein and Adam sent her into another timeline, where she arrived on June 28, 1349, and replaced Angel as the original while her memories were sealed.
• Gray described how Adam and Amanises changed events in the new timeline, including guiding Angel toward the Nighthawks and concealing her from Cheek as she advanced through the Demoness pathway.
• Gray said that the True Creator gained dominance in his fusion with Adam, while Cheek's plan to revive the Mirrored Original Creator was stopped.
• Gray told Klein that Angel had fallen into a dream under the Hidden Holy Emblem's safeguard and was fighting the Original Creator's consciousness, so they needed to wake her and help her prevail.

Klein consulted the Evernight Goddess about resisting Amon and learned how to enter Angel’s dream, then resolved to awaken her. In Dream City, Angel Gray examined the Demoness Sect’s captured artifacts and heard Amon’s proposal for a fair contest before returning to the sleeping Angel.

• Klein weighed Amon and Adam’s threats, met the Evernight Goddess in her dream, and received four charms and advice on the order in which to accommodate his characteristics and Uniqueness.

• Angel Gray returned to Dream City, spoke with Anne about the sleeping Angel and Roselle, and inspected the Demoness Sect’s captured Sealed Artifacts and characteristics.

• Angel Gray told Amon that, in her memories, he had eventually stood against the Outer Deities as the Angel of Redemption, then returned to the City of Calamity and visited the sleeping Angel.
