When the investigation resumes later that evening, Noélle travels to a pharmaceutical company in search of more information; elsewhere, Abel finds the body of Professor Barrie.

Sister Esther tries to get him to return to the Vatican but fails to do so, and Abel later resigns from his position in the AX unit despite Cardinal Sforza's attempt to persuade him otherwise.

Knowing that he would be suspected, he had the Silent Noise device placed within the obelisk instead of the bell as a preemptive measure. After being informed by Sister Esther that Cardinal Sforza is in danger, Father Abel goes to her aid and confronts Isaak. Meanwhile, the AX unit learns of the true nature of the obelisk and attempts to stop Archbishop d'Este from activating the Silent Noise system.

Astha holds a personal grudge against Enderle because he had murdered her former partner; she also carries a great deal of contempt for Terran interference in Empire matters and has no desire to work with Abel. When the two locate Enderle, Astha begins an explosive fight with him that results in the deaths of many Terrans through collateral damage. Enderle escapes and Astha is rescued by Abel, who then collapses due to injuries sustained from the battle. Astha looks after Abel and reveals to him that she deeply regrets the loss of life she had caused. As Astha is about to be deported back to the Empire for her reckless actions, the two realize that Enderle is planning to kill the Pope, who is visiting Venice for a special occasion.

Rumors of a vampire group planning the assassination of Cardinal Sforza, who is currently on tour in Carthage, arise. An explosion occurs within the complex at which she is staying, followed by an unexpected visit from Ion Fortuna, who reveals that he has arrived as a messenger to deliver an imperial decree from the Empire. Mistaken for an assassin, Ion is injured by Father Tres before being forced to make an escape without delivering his message. Upon Cardinal Sforza's request, Father Abel makes an attempt to locate Ion and arrange for his protection. Meanwhile, Brother Petro Orcini and Sister Paula Souwauski of the Department of Inquisition arrive in Carthage with the intent to locate Ion and deal with the threat to Cardinal Sforza. When Abel locates Ion and his accomplice, Radu Barvon, he finds Sister Esther there confronting the Methuselahs. To her dismay, Abel sternly rebukes her for disobeying his direct order for her to stay out of the matter.

However, Radu reveals that it is he who disrupted Ion's visit to Cardinal Sforza by causing the earlier explosion; he further states that he had always disagreed with Empress Augusta Vradica's notion that Terrans and Methuselahs could coexist peacefully and intends to kill Ion so that his ideals may be heard. After shooting Father Abel, who had returned to the aid of the group on a boat, Radu turns his gun on Ion but is attacked and killed by Sister Paula before being able to kill him. Esther and Ion are able to escape with Abel on the boat, and Brother Petro, who initially jumps onto the craft to confront the three, tags along after being persuaded into allowing Ion to meet with Cardinal Sforza. Sister Paula instills martial law in Carthage and intends for the Department of Inquisition to carry out a rescue operation, believing Brother Petro to have been kidnapped. Meanwhile, Esther treats Ion's injury while he reflects on his memories of Radu. Saddened by the death of his friend and feeling responsible for what had happened, Ion is then comforted by Esther and develops a more positive attitude toward her.

Meanwhile, Dietrich, who is revealed to be controlling the airships, rebukes Radu for his failure to kill Ion and move forward the Rosenkreuz Orden's plan to sever relations between the Vatican and the Empire. As Father Abel, Sister Esther, Brother Petro, and Ion make way for the embassy where Cardinal Sforza is, they are stopped by Radu, who has hijacked a Goliath tank and intends to kill Ion with it and make his death seem like the result of Terran actions. He fires on the group and severely injures Brother Petro and Ion. Moving to protect his companions, Abel flies into a fit of rage, activating his 80% Crusnik mode and feeding on Ion's spilled blood.

Meanwhile, Ion and Sister Esther travel through the city in search of Mimal, a former servant of Duchess Fortuna; when they become lost, they request aid from a young girl named Seth Nightroad.

Before Radu can continue, however, Father Abel and Duchess Astha arrive and chase him off. As Abel ensures that Esther is safe, it is hinted that Seth may be more than just an ordinary girl. Later that evening, Ion confronts Esther about her past and questions her true intentions before leaving to locate Radu and stop him himself.

Esther arrives and tries to help but is knocked out; she is taken into custody along with Ion after Empress Vradica orders the two to be imprisoned and interrogated. As Father Abel and Duchess Astha make their way to the Moldova mausoleum, an explosion there seemingly kills the Empress. At the palace, Esther and Ion, who are locked in a cell together, make amends with each other before Radu arrives and is revealed to have been long dead by Dietrich, who explains that he had been using Radu's body as a puppet under his control.

Colonel Mary Spencer and Count Virgil Walsh give Esther and the Pope a tour of the Ghetto, which lies underneath Londinium, the capital city of Albion. There, the advanced technology of Albion is created solely by the work of Methuselahs, who live peacefully with but isolated from the Terrans above them. During the tour, Virgil's sister, Vanessa Walsh, attempts to kidnap the Pope, who escapes with help from Esther.

Meanwhile, Esther is caught by Dietrich while searching for the Pope; he reveals that he has been preparing for the coming arrival of an angel and takes his leave. Angelica helps Pope Alessandro XVIII to gain confidence in himself and then shows him her 'secret place' that she had found earlier by accident, but Vanessa finds him there and captures him. Father Leon overhears that the Pope has been captured and is then aided by Peter and Wendy, who appear and reveal to him the whereabouts of the rebels' base. He starts to leave them for the location, but he returns to save them after they are attacked by some of Dietrich's Auto-Jägers.

An understanding Brother Petro abides by the Pope's orders and leaves with him and Sister Paula. Vanessa returns to Virgil, who denounces the rebellion and tells her that they can place their hopes in a new generation, one that can see the animosity between Terrans and Methuselahs dissolved. At the same time, more Auto-Jägers begin attacking the underground city while Dietrich carries out his own task; some of them go after the Pope. Sister Paula stays behind to stall a wave of Auto-Jägers, but more of them arrive and surround Brother Petro and the Pope, who are saved by Vanessa. Meanwhile, Cain makes his appearance and attacks the palace at which Sister Esther is staying before descending underground.

Cardinal Sforza goes to Lilith Sahl's coffin and takes from it a vial containing a green liquid, which she gives to Father Tres, who then leaves on an airship bound for Londinium. Virgil seals the Ghetto to protect its residents and an old spacecraft from the Rosenkreuz Orden and then leaves to find a "star." Meanwhile, Isaak arrives over Londinium in an airship and begins to decimate the city as Cain makes plans to merge with Abel's body. Virgil goes to the church where Abel's body is and informs Esther that she is the true heir to the throne of Albion, the secret daughter of Queen Brigitte II's assassinated son. Although she at first continues to believe herself to be unable to do anything, Esther eventually musters her strength and moves to calm a mob outside the palace; it is revealed that Esther is the "Star of Hope" who will lead the people as the next queen of Albion.

Sister Esther returns to Father Abel's coffin to find Father Tres pouring the contents of the vial he was given earlier into it. Cain then arrives and easily defeats Tres before moving to merge with Abel's body. Before he can do so, however, Abel is revived in his 100% Crusnik form and begins battle outside the church with him, who also activates his Crusnik form. As the two battle, Abel remembers Cain as he used to be when they were younger. The fight ends in a draw after they simultaneously knock each other out of the sky as the sun rises. At a later time, Esther is crowned queen of the Kingdom of Albion and blessed by Pope Alessandro XVIII. Together, they pray for a new world in which all people can live together peacefully.
