As Yu looks on the Earl appears behind him and thanks him for awakening Allen. The Earl explains that because fo the Noahs genetic hatred of the innocence when Kanda attacked him the Noah inside was allowed to awaken and now Allen is gone.

Inside Allens mind he is chained to a structure and confronted with the 14th. The 14th says that the Earl is going mad and that the Earl and Allen are both puppets. Allen mistakes the 14th for Tyki and the 14th corrects him and introduces himself as Neah.

In the real world Tincanpy begins to glow incredibly bright, shocking Howard Link who is holding an unconscious Tevak and blinding the nearby Lvl 4 Akuma, the golem grows to enormous size, chants the barrier break spell and destroys the sealing barrier that had held the HQ in. As the seal breaks Allen has a vision of Mana dressed as a clown and his cursed eye activates, bringing him back to his senses. Allens eye is drawn to Kanda and Alma who stand watching him, as he wonders what his eye is trying to tell him he notices a chain of a soul attached to Alma. Allen then sees the soul who is crying and asking him not to look. As Allen is about to talk about the soul Alma screams for Allen not to say it. In his rage he uses the last of his energy to choke Kanda, screaming at him to die and activating his akuma self destruct.

A flashback shows Yu and Alma as children again with Alma's thoughts saying that Yu lived on to keep the promise he made with him. Alma reveals that the soul attached is in fact the person Yu is trying to find. She says that Kanda will no doubt continue to search but that one day he might discover that she was Alma and she cannot endure that. She then lets go of Yu.
