Upon accepting the request, he wakes up inside a blue room and is attended to by [[En no Ozuno]], whom he could have met in the depths of [[Twisted Tokyo]]. En no Ozuno explains that he has been transported to a place called the Diamond Realm, although he may be more familiar with it being called the [[Expanse]]. He directs Nanashi to meet with Stephen outside the room for further details on his summoning. Before he leaves, the two attendants accompanying En no Ozuno, [[Zenki]] and [[Goki]], introduce themselves: Zenki functions as a way for Nanashi to return to his [[Tokyo (Shin Megami Tensei IV)|Tokyo]], while Goki will heal Nanashi and his party to full health. | ||
Once Nanashi exits the room, Stephen greets him and immediately explains the reason behind his request, due to being short on time. He had bended the laws of the universe to bring four other messiahs to the Diamond Realm in order to save them from [[YHVH]]'s attempts to end their lives. He then presents one of the messiahs' souls to Nanashi; this messiah had died when an ICBM fell on Tokyo due to YHVH's intervention, breaking him out of the cycle of reincarnation but leaving him without a body. The other three messiahs are in similar states, but are instead fighting to survive in the Diamond Realm. He asks Nanashi to guide the messiahs back to their original worlds as he cannot intervene directly himself, but promises to provide what little support he can afford despite the risk involved with bending the will of the [[Axiom]]. If Nanashi accepts the request, Stephen directs him to greet the other three messiahs scattered throughout the Diamond Realm. | Once Nanashi exits the room, Stephen greets him and immediately explains the reason behind his request, due to being short on time.

Nanashi proceeds to traverse the labyrinth to find the messiahs. To the northwest is [[Aleph]], fighting a Law-aligned horde. He recognizes Nanashi as the one mentioned by Stephen in his dreams and asks the boy to help him defeat the horde. Once defeated, Aleph asks how he is still alive, as he remembers having been incinerated by the Megiddo Ark. Nanashi explains the current situation to him and he leaves to seek out En no Ozuno. After Aleph leaves, Nanashi discovers a Blue Key inside the room and takes it with him. | Nanashi proceeds to traverse the labyrinth to find the messiahs.

To the northeast is [[Demi-fiend]], fighting a Chaos-aligned horde. Similarly to Aleph, he recognizes Nanashi as the one mentioned by Stephen in his dreams. Nanashi can jump in to help him out, to which the two split up to deal with the horde. Once defeated, Demi-fiend is confused as to why he is still alive, as [[Lucifer]] had killed him after he destroyed [[Kagutsuchi]].

To the west is [[Flynn]], fighting a Neutral-aligned horde. Notably, this Flynn does not recognize Nanashi, ordering the boy to get back. Nanashi can jump in to help him out, to which Flynn asks for assistance in dealing with the horde. Once defeated, Flynn identifies Nanashi as the one mentioned by Stephen in his dreams and reveals he died in the midst of filling the [[Chalice]] with hope when [[Jonathan]] summoned the Great Abaddon.

Dazed from their battle with Stephen, the messiahs recount Stephen's directions, resolving to succeed after being given a second chance. A wormhole then appears in the room, allowing passage to each messiah's respective dimension. The messiahs leave through the wormhole and bid Nanashi farewell with a final remark: Aleph, who promises to defeat YHVH with his partner; Demi-fiend, who is itching to fight and defeat Lucifer; Flynn, who needs to finish gathering hope and remove the rock separating Tokyo and [[Mikado]]; and the Hero, who worries about the fate of his [[Tokyo 199X (Shin Megami Tensei)|Tokyo]] after the ICBM fell yet is unsure of which path to take. Before Nanashi can step through the wormhole, En no Ozuno comes by to see him off, congratulating him for a job well done. He leaves Nanashi with the knowledge that people like him will continue to be born and create their own stories, although it is not an every day occurrence to meet them. | Dazed from their battle with Stephen, the messiahs recount Stephen's directions, resolving to succeed after being given a second chance.
