Summary[]
As Yoh and the others attend the Shaman Fight between Team "X-I" and one of Hao's teams, which is about to start, Hao is seen asking Team "Fudomyou" to become his allies. As Gekkou and Nikkou are about to attack Hao and his allies for being arrogant, Mohamed Tabarsi and Hang Zang-Ching suddenly appear behind them and kill Gekkou and Nikkou. Fudou gets furious and then attacks Hao head-on, but the Spirit of Fire blocks all the attacks, burns Fudou to his soul, and eats his soul off-screen. As Opacho states that another team has won, Team "X-I" is seen standing alongside the opponents they have just defeated. As Luchist asks what they should do about them, Hao orders to let them be.
As Marco tries to kill his opponents, Silva stops him and comments that the match is already over. Lyserg and Marco then pass by Yoh and the others, and Yoh states that they do not look very happy, which upsets Lyserg. Later on as Ryu is still sad about Lyserg's choice, Yoh, and the others talk about the path that Lyserg has chosen. Meanwhile, Silva and Kalim have a conversation about the allowance of killing in the Shaman Fights. Later on, the X-Laws are seen performing a weird ritual. As Lyserg wonders if he gets an Archangel as well, he asks Marco if he can join them on their journey instead of staying behind to protect Jeanne. As Marco says no and leaves, Lyserg states that he has to defeat "him".
Later on, the X-Laws are talking about Lyserg. As the others members think Lyserg is ready, Marco states that he is still too naïve. Then, Lyserg is seen leaving Jeanne's place. As he starts running, he does not notice that Morphin does not go after him. The next day, Ryu is still depressed that Lyserg is so far away. As Yoh offers to go and look for him, Morphin shows up and takes Yoh and the others along. Meanwhile, the X-Laws are standing face-to-face with the team that Marco and Lyserg defeated earlier. As they prepare to fight, Lyserg shows up and states that he wants to fight. As Lyserg and Hao's allies attack each other, Lyserg realities that Morphin is gone. As the X-Laws then protect Lyserg and kill the opponents, Morphin shows up together with Yoh and the others. Lyserg then gets angry at Morphin and Yoh for coming over. As Yoh asks Lyserg what he is going to do, Lyserg turns around and leaves together with the X-Laws, leaving Morphin behind. As Lyserg leaves his medium behind as well, Morphin flies away in shock. Later on, Lyserg is seen receiving his angel from Jeanne. As Lyserg grabs the gun, he meets his archangel, Zelel. Then, Marco tells Lyserg that they plan to kill Hao and Yoh with the Gate of Babylon. Then, Hao is seen stating that something is about to start. Meanwhile, Silva asks Goldva what the Great Spirit is thinking.
