In the fourteenth episode of "The Fire Hunter," Koushi stumbles upon a mysterious dimension. There, he is greeted by the Flickering Flame and Hinako’s doctor, who predict an impending uprising in the capital. The Flickering Flame is troubled by the potential consequences of their involvement, while the doctor laments that humans are no longer capable of correcting the mistakes of the past. Nevertheless, he remains hopeful that he and Koushi can contain the looming chaos. Questions about Hinako lead to the revelation that her survival, as well as that of the others, depends on experimental interventions by the doctor and the Water Clan, aimed at adapting human resilience.
Hibari’s sudden appearance and the manipulation of Koushi’s physical actions spark a discussion about the fiery crisis in the capital and the dire situation of the spiders. After Koushi regains control, he delves deeper into the experiments, learning of their shortcomings and their ultimate success in creating an ideal specimen for the future of humanity, embodied by Hinako. The narrative delves into discussions about the role assigned to the Flickering Flame among the divine clans and the controversial plan to use her as a vessel—a role she regards with uncertainty.
On the journey back to the earthly world, Koushi awakens and learns more from Hibari about divine interventions and their consequences for Kira and the Okibi family. Despite the grave revelations, Koushi is confronted with the immediate aftermath of destruction, symbolized by charred corpses. This leads to a reunion with allies Kanata and Touko and the introduction of Yuoshichi’s anti-god ideology.
Yuoshichi’s departure sets the stage for a strategic retreat, suggesting a division of objectives among the group, while Koushi and Touko contemplate their next steps to uncover the schemes of the divine clans and ensure the well-being of their companions. An unexpected encounter with a supernatural being leads them to a water treatment facility, where discussions about their mission and the existential struggles of the Flickering Flame are briefly interrupted by an aquatic threat. Hibari’s timely intervention against the attackers sparks a debate about the nature of their assailants and the Flickering Flame’s dilemma regarding her divine destiny.
