Romulus Quirinus and Odin began Ragnarok’s Eighth Round, but Odin’s Gungnir shattered Helheim’s binding ritual and unleashed hordes of undead upon them both. As the two Main Gods fought their way through the calamity, they rose into the air to face each other directly.

• Romulus Quirinus forced Mars to kneel with his throne, then descended into Helheim as Heimdallr announced him and began the Eighth Round.

• Heimdallr identified Odin’s two doubles as Vili and Ve, and Mimir confirmed that Odin had never had brothers.
• The God of Wisdom explained that Odin, Vili, and Ve were one complete being, and Brunhilde recognized the arrangement as a Trinity.

• Quirinus’s divine throne appeared behind him and transformed into particles that attached to him, producing three figures from Rome’s past, present, and future.
• The three Quirinus figures merged, and Shaka realized that Gungnir might have struck him despite his apparent regeneration.
• Shaka’s Future Sight could no longer distinguish Quirinus’s actions because they seemed to occur in the past, present, and future simultaneously.

Quirinus used his ability to repel and compress space to evade Odin’s attacks, counterattacking while pursuing Odin (Vili). Odin then fused his three bodies into a three-headed evil-god form and threw a transformed Gungnir that vanished and returned to his hand.

• Quirinus made Gungnir and most of Odin’s attacks unable to reach him by repelling space, then struck Odin with a devastating torrent of light.
• Odin’s other bodies exploited the moment Quirinus attacked, but their blows caused him no damage; Gungnir’s strike was deflected by his armor.
• Quirinus pursued Odin (Vili) by manipulating the distance around himself, severed his arm, and evaded further attacks.
• The gods realized Quirinus’s divine throne supplied his seemingly inexhaustible power, though he had not drawn on the Cosmic Origin.
• Odin used the spatial destruction from his three Gungnirs to hinder Quirinus’s movement, then fused his three bodies into a three-headed form.
• Odin’s fused Gungnir changed into a needle-like weapon, which he threw; it vanished from sight and returned to his hand.

Odin used Gungnir’s fate-altering power against Quirinus, paying with his eyes and internal organs while discovering that Quirinus spanned the past, present, and future. As Odin prepared a strike aimed thousands of years into the past, Quirinus began an enormous attack that tore open Helheim’s night sky.

• Quirinus’s Spears of Light repeatedly missed Odin after Odin used Gungnir to shatter the fate of being hit, at the cost of losing his eyes.

• Odin prepared to send Gungnir thousands of years into the past, using a spell to reduce the price of the attack.
• Quirinus flew into the sky and tore open Helheim’s darkness with enormous luminous arms, revealing a star-filled sky.

• Quirinus's starlight barrage devastated Helheim, repeatedly blasting the undead apart and destroying Odin's stored defensive spells.
• Quirinus gathered the remaining starlight into a golden full moon and dropped it onto Odin, who raised the Spear of Destiny too late to stop the impact.
• The attack shattered Helheim, and the arena's projection revealed a ruined landscape where the realm had once stood.
• Helheim's fragments fell into Niflheim, while Quirinus remained unharmed by the collapsing realm's destructive lightning.

• The world returned to the moment before the eighth match, and Serafall, Rossweisse, Irina Shidou, Le Fay Pendragon, and Shefara retained their memories.
• Serafall called Brunhilde and urged her not to send Romulus Quirinus into the match, but Brunhilde did not recognize his name.
• Serafall learned that in this history Rome’s founder was Remus, not Romulus, and concluded Odin had changed history rather than merely reversed time.
• Brunhilde appeared and demanded an explanation as the group was taken to Helheim for the eighth match.

Brunhilde learned that Serafall and her companions had experienced an Eighth Round battle in another timeline, where Romulus Quirinus fought Remus and appeared to win before Odin’s actions displaced them. Odin then vanished completely, forcing Ragnarok’s eighth round to be suspended; Bai Yue’s memories returned as his attempt to play Romulus failed and the match ended in a draw.

• Brunhilde speculated that Serafall and her companions had jumped into a nearly identical Parallel World rather than traveled into the past.
• Irina said Romulus Quirinus had won the battle they witnessed, while Rufi recalled that Odin had done something at the end and caused them to return to the past.
• Serafall explained that Romulus had been human before becoming Quirinus, the supreme god of Roman mythology, leaving Brunhilde to wonder whether Remus held a similar identity.

• Heimdallr announced that the Eighth Round Battle had been temporarily suspended, leaving the crowd demanding an explanation.

After the Eighth Round Battle was declared a draw, the gods discovered that Odin’s Spear of Destiny had erased faith-based paths to godhood and the memories of Romulus Quirinus. Meanwhile, Titans broke through Purgatory and launched a wider invasion of the mythological underworlds, leaving the gods scrambling as their realms came under attack.

• Mimir confirmed the Spear of Destiny existed and explained that Odin had used it to erase Romulus Quirinus at the Root, while Shaka could no longer sense humanity’s faith.
• The group learned that Mars’s allies had died beyond revival and Remus Quirinus had become a human corpse after losing the Power of Faith.
• Shaka ruled that the Eighth Round of Ragnarok counted as a draw, and Brunhilde mourned that no one would remember Romulus Quirinus’s fight for humanity.
• Betrayers among the guards broke the Chains of Heaven and collapsed the gate to Purgatory, allowing the Titan legion to invade Hades’s realm and massacre its defenders.
• The Titans began attacking underworlds, Hells, and demon realms across mythologies while gods in the Central Heavenly Realm Space lost contact with their realms.
• Adamas announced that the Purgatory gate in the Greek underworld had been completely opened as the Gods’ Conference hall filled with alarm.
