In this episode, Roroku tries to dissuade Yuoshichi from killing his own daughter, Kira. Despite Roroku's efforts, Yuoshichi remains determined, leading to a confrontation in which Hibari attempts to intervene, only to be overpowered and mocked by Yuoshichi. As Yuoshichi takes Kira to Kunugi's remains, Koushi tries unsuccessfully to intervene. The situation escalates when Yuoshichi's wife, Hibana, appears and confronts him. The confrontation ends dramatically as both plunge into the divine palace's waterfall after a fierce clash, losing their arms upon hearing Kira's voice.
Meanwhile, Akira discovers the corpses of the spiders inside Kunugi's body and learns from Touko that Kunugi wanted to bury the spiders. There is an emotional reunion between Kun and his father, who is surprised that Kun survived. Their conversation revolves around Kun's alliances and the promises the spiders made to humans. Kun's father warns Akira about the curse of the divine weapons and entrusts Kun and the humans to retrieve the fire before succumbing to death.
The group reaches the divine palace and finds Hibari and Kira there, where it is revealed that Kira has been transformed into a vessel by the Flickering Flame, as reported by a treefolk. Later in the story, Roroku's death is confirmed by Koushi, who had tried to save him. Meanwhile, aboard a space satellite, Touko engages in a cosmic dialogue with the flickering flame, discussing Earth's history, humanity's divine connection, and Kira's significance.
The atmosphere grows tense as the characters gather around Roroku's corpse, and Touko is comforted by Kanata over Roroku's death. In a symbolic gesture, Kun draws together the rings of Yuoshichi and Hibana amid an unexpected thunderstorm, drawing the group's attention to the approaching Millennium Comet. As Akira suggests seeking safety, Touko and Kanata are caught in a whirlpool, and a destructive storm unleashes a falling beast, setting the stage for the next episode, where the creature will confront the duo.
