Jeanne-sama struggles under the intense flames of Hao’s Spirit of Fire. When asked what she plans on doing to Yoh, she replies that she intends to pass righteous judgment on them. Hao is displeased, engulfs her in flames, and drops her into her iron maiden.
Lyserg drops to his knees in grief. With Jeanne-sama gone, they have no hope of opening the Door of Babylon. Meene of the X-Laws tries to comfort Lyserg, showing him that Jeanne-sama’s OverSoul is still holding Yoh and the boys captive, so she must be alive. She is rejuvenating as they speak inside the iron maiden. Recharges, the X-Laws vow to sacrifice themselves to protect her.
Hao looks down amused at the act of faith being displayed, but still holding a grudge for them capturing Yoh. His minions attack the X-Laws pretty intensely, destroying several angels in the process, but the X-Laws keep their faith that Jeanne-sama will rejuvenate.
Yoh and the boys watch this act with horror. They can’t imagine anyone willing to die a martyr for such a cause. They OverSoul, breaking Jeanne-sama’s OverSoul, and extinguishing hope that Jeanne-sama is still alive. The remaining X-Laws look to the Iron Maiden in sadness. Yoh and co., however, are prepared to fight with them against Hao.
Meanwhile, Silva has had enough of just watching the Hao/X-Law battle and decides to take action. He heads over by way of eagle, but Mikihisa interferes, knocking Silva to the ground. This may be the opportunity they were looking for to bury Hao.
Back at the fight, Hao and Yoh oppose each other. Hao decides to OverSoul and test Yoh, but Yoh fights back. At one point, he calls Dai Gokoujin to try to take out Hao’s spirit. Hao counters & his spirit grabs Yoh. Hao is amused and tells Yoh that he just needs to get a little stronger.
From above, the Gate energy stirs as light emerges from Jeanne-sama’s Iron Maiden. The X-Laws are relieved as they understand that Jeanne-sama released the OverSoul on purpose to put her entire furyoku into the Gate of Babylon. She tells them she will try to open the Gate with all her strength, but she can’t guarantee their safety. They agree to shield her with everything they have as she stands atop the Babylon Tower as it rises to meet the Gate in the sky. Once at the top, she calls forth Syamasu, who holds the key. He inserts it into a door that appears and a large vacuum sucks everyone into it. All that is left is a large crater in the ground.
Inside the door, everyone walks along a path and starts to dissolve. Yoh calls out to his friends and Hao appears. The two exchange silent worlds. Mikihisa and Silva look on as Yoh and the boys are sent back to earth along with Hao’s group. Hao now believes there’s no point to continuing the Shaman Fight.
