After escaping the seal as the Snake began to break free, Shade and the others regrouped at the Temple and prepared for the coming battle. Shade exchanged his accumulated points for the Ring of Miracles, which revealed that he could spend it in the Temple to make a wish affecting Destiny.

• Stella reached the Temple with the survivors as the ruins collapsed, and Shade explained that the Snake’s seal contained a false world of yellow sand.
• Shade recounted that the Snake had forced everyone into the depths of the seal, where they fought it to a draw before escaping; it would take several minutes for its true body to return.

• As the mountain began to collapse, the island’s residents prayed or sheltered indoors, unaware of the true threat emerging from the mountain.

After Lady White lent Doctor Schneider the Protection ring, he defended the island from the serpent’s attack while Charat and Priest Augustus went to the mountaintop Temple.

• Shade fused with Iluna and used the seven destinies to identify the serpent’s main body and wound it with Fate-powered attacks.

Mr. Snake completed his molting and unleashed doomsday across the ruins and much of the Material World. Luvia, Angelina, Adele, Sister Devlin, Stella, and other allies gathered to face him, leaving the Serpent of Doomsday astonished by the number of people who stood against him.

• Black light blasted Ellie toward Oracle Plaza as Mr. Snake’s power spread across the island and altered the world’s rules.

Ellie joined the Unicorn herd at Oracle Plaza and used the Holy Bell with [Luck] to send a wave of fortune across the island, strengthening her allies against Mr. Snake’s apocalyptic transformation. Elsewhere, the sea battle and ordinary ships were engulfed by the spreading disaster, while Claire awoke in a ruined version of Kael-Todd Town and resisted the pull of a black sun.

• Ellie found [Luck]'s ring at the center of Oracle Plaza, where Little Liana arrived with the Holy Bell and hundreds of Unicorns.
• The Unicorn herd accepted Ellie, whose species-linked destiny awakened Spirit Runes and strengthened her second ring, [Luck].
• Ellie rang the Holy Bell, and its resonance with [Luck] and the Unicorns spread exceptional luck to her allies across the island and Starfall Bay.
• Yellow sand and the changed sky caused chaos among the ships; Major Rades organized the White Pearl's survivors and helped bring the vessel under control.
• Claire awoke among ruins resembling Kael-Todd Town and saw a black sun that began drawing her soul toward it, but she sensed something was wrong.

Claire overcame Doomsday’s attempt to consume her, claimed the Ring of Fate [Dawn], and advanced to the Twelfth Order as the survivors retreated from the sea battlefield. Meanwhile, Emilia fell into the Sunken Monastery of Talmont, where a mysterious fishing hook pulled a ring from the relic and offered her a chance to escape.

• Claire recognized her own golden radiance within the black sun, embraced her power over ice and fire, and awakened as a Twelfth Order Great Witch holding [Dawn].
• Megan told Claire that Doomsday had arrived and the battlefield was collapsing, then pointed out that Sivie had advanced to the Thirteenth Order and was protecting the retreat with a seven-colored barrier.
• The Shedding Snake severed Emilia’s connection to the World Tree Sapling, knocking her from the mountaintop and into the underwater Sunken Monastery of Talmont.
• Emilia realized the monastery had trapped her underwater and that she would need to find and burn its blasphemous research to escape.
• After a bell rang, the Hook of Erl entered the monastery through its chimney and pulled out a jade-green ring, giving Emilia hope of escaping.

Emilia reclaimed the Nature ring, received the Warrior ring, and led elite elf guards toward the mountaintop while Daniste stayed to defend the city. Iluna landed at the end of Pilgrim's Path and found a strange card that would let its holder command Shade until the end of 1855.

• Emilia grabbed the Nature ring from the lake, restored her connection to Throne Land, and was rescued by Daniste.
• Daniste gave Emilia the Warrior ring, which had been brought from the Dawn Church after a Twelfth Ring Gentleman sacrificed himself to hold the city defense line.

• Iluna escaped Mr. Snake's attack in midair but crashed onto a ridge she recognized as the end of Pilgrim's Path.
• After hearing a bell that increased her Luck, Iluna found a Command Card that allowed its holder to make Shade do anything until December 31, 1855.

Iluna reached the end of Pilgrim's Path and learned that she could choose a fate for an empty ring. She gave up the fate of [Hero] and chose [Happiness], wishing for Shade to live happily forever.

• Iluna regretted taking Luvia's Command Card and tried to retrieve the [Youthful Immortality Leaf], but she fell down the ridge and passed through an archway.

• Iluna realized that her deepest wish was to save Shade and wished for him to live happily forever.
• Iluna used the Command Card to imbue the ring with [Happiness], abandoning [Hero].

Iluna gained control of her crimson lightning as the other Chosen Ones regrouped, and Dorothy and Leisha went to Upper Spring to condense a Ring of Fate. Trapped inside Fatumonst Snow Mountain after the molted Snake struck him, Shade dug through the mountain and followed a mysterious passage until he sensed the First Fire.

• Iluna flew toward the mountain summit while Winnie continued restraining the mountain, and the Snake’s attack left Dorothy, Leisha, Grace, and Helen unable to fuse for ten minutes.
• Dorothy and Leisha entered Upper Spring behind a waterfall to condense their Destiny, while Grace and Helen stayed behind to guard the area.
• Shade survived the Snake’s blow but found himself trapped inside the mountain by black fog, so he began digging through the rock with his Thaumaturgy.
• A bell rang as Shade dug, and Fate Manual revealed that Ellie’s use of the Holy Bell had increased his Luck.
• Shade broke into an ancient passage with two branching paths, chose the snowy left path, and emerged in an underground cave where he sensed the First Fire.

Shade found the First Fire and the gifts Violet, Theresa, and Sister Belen had left in the Snow Mountain Sacrificial Ground. He used Violet’s Wax Stone to summon her, and she prepared to join the battle against the Destiny of the Sixth Epoch’s end.

• Shade used Lady White’s snake scale to enter the sealed Sacrificial Ground and found the First Fire.
• Shade opened Violet’s Walnut Box and discovered Theresa’s Sure-Kill Handgun, a Philosopher’s Stone, and a Wax Stone designed to reduce the cost of summoning a Witch.
• Shade used the Wax Stone to summon Violet, who appeared in his era and reunited with him.

• Violet produced the Destiny of [Ageless Appearance] and said that condensing Destiny was easy amid the turmoil.

Shade escaped the underground Sacrificial Ground with Violet, who joined the battle against the Serpent of Doomsday, then reached Oracle Plaza to prepare for an important task. He found Ellie and the Unicorns sheltering there and urged them to leave, while Ellie gave him the Destinies of Innocence and Luck.

• Violet led Shade out of the Sacrificial Ground, and Shade absorbed the First Fire, healing the Snake's injuries to him.
• Violet used a hidden Teleportation Gate to bring Shade to the Witch's Tower, where Sylvia reported the battle's progress and Violet went to aid the fighters.
• Sylvia revealed that the Witch's Tower had been built above the ruins and had helped conceal the First Fire seal.
• Shade went to Oracle Plaza and found Ellie, Little Mia, and the Unicorns sheltering from the yellow sand.
• Ellie offered Shade the Destiny of Innocence and the Destiny of Luck, but Shade told her to keep them and asked her and the Unicorns to leave the plaza.

Shade summoned Adele and Chloe to aid the battle against the Shedding Snake, while Ellie empowered the unicorn herd to protect the battlefield. As Shade watched the fight from Oracle Plaza, a mysterious man appeared behind him and asked if he was eager to fight the snake again.

• Shade summoned Adele with the Low-Ring Words of Sublimation, and she flew down to help the Ring Bearers while warning him not to summon Annette alongside her.
• Shade summoned Chloe, who greeted him and agreed to join the fight below.
• Ellie used her apple-granted frost power to strengthen the unicorns and share Destiny’s protection with them.
• Chloe led the unicorns to the battlefield, where their running formed a ring that weakened Doomsday Power and gave the fighters room to retreat.
• A mysterious black-haired man appeared behind Shade at Oracle Plaza and asked whether he was impatient to fight the snake again.

Shade ignited his divinity as the Moon God and the God of Misfortune appeared on the cliff, and their powers collided above the Fate Ruins. Shade’s ascension empowered the Moon-marked fighters as God-Bestowed Demigods, while preparations continued to protect the island and move the Ring Bearers.

• Shade asked the God of Misfortune why His advent had been silent, and the god explained that the damaged world no longer required the usual preparations.
• Shade sensed an ambush and ignited his divinity, stopping a half-chessboard object as the Moon God’s silver light descended upon the cliff.
• The Moon God and the God of Misfortune appeared together, drawing the attention of the battlefield and prompting the Demigod Witches to question whether Shade was summoning a god or becoming one.
• Shade’s ascension caused Moon Marks to flare on Galina, Vanessa, Butterfly Wings Girl, Chloe, Past World Adele, Little Mia, and Luvia, empowering them; the Snake called Chloe and Past World Adele God-Bestowed Demigods.
• Butterfly Wings Girl gave [Night Watchman] to Luvia and sent Angelina back to the Radiance Messenger, where the ship, Sylvia’s tower, and Winnie’s Ice and Snow Castle helped shield the island and relocate Ring Bearers.

Daniste joined the defense at the mountain summit as Shade and the God of Misfortune fought a divine battle through a starry chess game. Shade won, but was left weakened and stranded in the snow, where he spotted a golden chess piece descending through the blizzard.

• Daniste used the Moon Mark’s power to destroy monsters, raised a Red Moon barrier, and flew toward the summit while Sivie, Megan, and Claire returned to the Radiance Messenger.
• A two-colored chessboard appeared in the sky, and the Moon God, Shade, faced the God of Misfortune in a game played with divine pieces, cards, and coins.
• The God of Misfortune’s pieces attacked, but Shade countered them with the priest, wall, gambler, Clown, and Dancer pieces before striking the board with the Moon.
• The chessboard vanished, leaving the Silver Moon in the sky, and Shade reappeared on the Snow Mountain after winning the divine battle and losing his four gold coins.
• Shade tried to recover and return to the battlefield, then noticed a golden chess piece descending through the blizzard.

Shade faced the God of Misfortune at Saint's Precipice, where they wagered divinity in a final gun game and both pulled the trigger. Meanwhile, Stella left the battlefield on Luvia's orders to contest for the final Chosen One.

• Shade saw through the God of Misfortune's illusion and avoided being pushed from Saint's Precipice.
• The God of Misfortune challenged Shade to a final round using three guns and two bullets, with death blessed by divine power.
• Shade chose the guns and bullets, aimed at the God of Misfortune, and explained that the encounter might make losing a form of victory.
• Shade asked whether the meeting was arranged to make him fall from Saint's Precipice, and the god said his fall had begun long ago.
• Five minutes earlier, Stella watched the battle, felt outmatched by the other fighters, and left the battlefield at Luvia's order to contend for the final Chosen One.

As the battle against the Metamorphosis Snake continued, Stella abandoned her chance to become a Chosen One after receiving an emergency signal and rushed to join a gathering at the Oracle Plaza. Her arrival brought the group to eleven, while the final contest in the Temple produced no apparent result.

• Stella transferred the [Breeding] shield to Iluna and left the battlefield as the Great Witches and other Ring Bearers held the line against the Metamorphosis Snake.
• Stella reached the Temple, where Father, Mr. Mortis, and Old Mr. Charat prepared with her to determine the final Fate candidate, and Charat revealed that he would not complete the Seventh Act.
• The four candidates used their Serpent's Sheddings to create a gambling table and set their dice spinning, but Stella's rune stone lit all three stars with an urgent gathering signal.
• Stella gave up her candidate qualification and hurried out to answer the signal, leaving the other three candidates to wait for the dice to stop.
• The remaining candidates saw no result from the dice, and Miss Pawo said the God of Fate's sixth mural had changed.
• Stella crossed snow-covered mountains to the Oracle Plaza, where she joined ten gathered girls, including Luvia and Ellie.

Luvia, Adele, Ellie, and ten other girls performed a moon ritual to call Shade back after the god’s [Luck] bullet killed him and sent him falling from Saint's Precipice. As the song awakened Shade’s buried memories and his powers, he grasped a hand from above and woke in the snow.

• Stella, Daniste, and the others gathered at [Oracle Plaza], where Luvia waited for the right moment and summoned Adele using a rune.
• Luvia, Adele, and Ellie joined the ten girls in a ritual performance, singing and playing instruments to call for Shade’s return.
• Below Saint's Precipice, the god’s [Luck] bullet struck Shade, and his body fell from the cliff as he heard the girls’ song.
• Shade resisted falling into eternal Slumber and recalled memories of climbing the Moon Tower in 1853, naming Helena Carter, Euclid, and Miss Shibel Beast.
• Shade remembered the words “Fallen traveler, rewrite the world's The Canticles,” caught a hand reaching down to him, and awakened in the snow.

Shade survived his fall from Saint's Precipice, gained the Fall Spirit Rune and a new Ring of Fate, and recovered a hazy memory of arriving in the world at Moon Tower in spring 1853. He realized the fall had advanced his Demigod Road, then returned to the battlefield as the War of Fate reached its most difficult moment.

• Shade learned that his fall had granted him the Fall Spirit Rune, sublimated Falling Star Strike, and completed the Ninth Ring’s four Element Spirit Runes.
• Shade recalled arriving in the world at Moon Tower in spring 1853, where he had encountered Lady Helena Carter, Astrologer Euclid, and Miss Bister before leaping from the tower.
• Shade understood that the Newborn Ritual’s Roots of the Teacher, Finger Bone of the Astrologer, and Hair of the Moon Chaser referred to known figures, while the other elements remained unclear.
• Shade caught the God of Misfortune’s chess piece, absorbed its divinity, and formed his third Ring of Fate, Fall.
• Shade recognized the fall as a ritual that had strengthened him and helped him understand how to defeat the Serpent of Doomsday after its molting.
• Shade flew to the sand-sea battlefield, where the War of Fate had reached its most difficult moment.

Shade returned to the battlefield as the Serpent of Doomsday overwhelmed the defenders, while the candidates withdrew from the Fate ceremony. After the true Sixth Act was revealed and the remaining candidates gave up, Shade began his promotion as he faced the Serpent.

• The sixth mural changed to depict the true Sixth Act: calling The Falling Moon back through song and helping the fallen Outlander recover his past.
• Mr. Charat, the Father, and the other remaining candidates gave up their candidacies, leaving the ceremony to its true Chosen One.
• Bells and a steam whistle announced the ceremony, and Shade emerged from the yellow sand with Ellie and Little Mia as his life level rose.
• The Serpent of Doomsday launched a black thunderbolt at Shade, who began his promotion while holding Ellie's hand and carrying Little Mia.
• Shade's Spirit Runes and their phantoms blocked the Serpent's attacks, cleared his path, and halted it with a slash of his sword.

Shade reached the tenth ring of the Twelve Divinity Ascension Path and then used his Mystic Lock, Snow White Princess, to transform the doomsday sandstorm into a flourishing forest. The Snake watched the change from afar, while Shade and Ellie stood before a small house amid the spreading greenery.

• Shade imbued Miracle-[World] with divinity, choosing Blasphemy-[Fall] as his future Core Ling Rune and advancing to the tenth ring.
• Ellie gained Miracle-[Strength], Blasphemy-[Fall], and Whisper-[Sword] after the girls' performance and Shade's ascension.
• The Snake sent a wave of yellow sand at Shade and Ellie, but Shade stopped Ellie and asked to borrow her apple.
• Shade summoned Mystic Lock: Snow White Princess, and flowers, grass, and forest creatures spread across the ruins as the sandstorm receded.
• Shade held the apple beside Ellie before a small house while the forest night replaced the doomsday landscape.

Shade’s Mystic Lock spread a fairy-tale forest across the apocalyptic landscape, transforming the world and halting its advance at the Snake. After returning Luvia’s Destiny to her, Shade challenged the Snake to a final duel, and their swords collided at the boundary between forest and desert.

• Shade’s Mystic Lock reshaped the apocalypse into a moonlit forest, healing injuries and altering the castle, temple, and Radiance Messenger.
• The Snake stopped the forest’s expansion, leaving the Fate Ruins divided between forest and desert as Shade encouraged Ellie to understand the Mystic Lock’s power.
• Shade returned [Nobility] to Luvia, who heard her complete High-Ring Words of Sublimation: [The Fool Who Destroys the World, guide the final hope.].
• The Snake recited its apocalypse prophecy and warned Shade that his Mystic Lock could only delay the world’s end.
• Shade and the Snake prepared their swords and met in a final duel at the forest’s edge.
