This section contains spoilers. (Skip Section)

Shinjuku is first explored after the resistance group called Pentagramma defeats Dantalion the Fallen on the Shinjuku Labor Camp so after this Ayato and his friends with Pentagramma storms Bael Castle which was once known as the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. Once he's defeated Pentagramma makes this their new base of operations.

After some time Bael's forces attack the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building to try and recapture it and they succeed, Ayato and his friend Tetsuya Sonoda were captured and send to the Yoyogi Labor Camp and Bael Castle is now being under construction at the top of the building.

One important event is the occurrence of dissapearings during full moons at My City and the hearing of howlings during those nights. Turns out these events are caused by Kazumi who turns into a werewolf during full moon, after Ayato with the help of Tetsuya and Rui Asuka they break Kazumi's curse and now can control his powers at will, so after these events he with his little sister Mei leave the Odakyu HALC and travel through Tokyo to atone for the lifes he took and to train to be stronger in hopes they'll meet again.

At Shinjuku Ground Zero, Ayato can find the Shinjuku Ground Zero Colosseum, which he goes with Tetsuya and Rui after he's challenged by Adonis the Fiend to a battle 1 to 1 in the aforementioned place, after he's defeated by Ayato Rui comes to see him and tells that while they were waiting, Tetsuya was killed by a demon, after seeing the state of the corpse they noticed it had no heart, that it was ripped out by someone. Ayato can decide to mourn Tetsuya to which Rui yells at him saying that he lived in the shelters, a peaceful live, but that in Tokyo people can die every day. After this they leave the place.

After the Goshiki-Fudo temples are activated, the barrier protecting Bael Castle and Shibuya is destroyed, to which Ayato and Rui decide to go Bael Castle and retrieve Yuuka's Head, to their surprise there was nobody at the castle, so once they retrieved the head they're found by Dantalion the Fallen, which they fight and upon defeating him they leave the place and go to Ichigaya Shelter to revive Yuuka.

After she's revived, the lack of heart is noticed and Rui tells Ayato to go to Bael Castle again since she'll be waiting for him there. Upon reaching the 6th floor, Ayato finds Rui who reveals to him that in reality she is Astarte the Tyrant and she has Yuuka´s heart. Depending on the choice Ayato makes here either Astarte the Tyrant or Ishtar the Megami will join depending on how he replies to Rui's question regarding who he loves, if Yuuka or her.

Route 1: Ayato chooses Yuuka and depending on the affinity with Rui different events can happen, in one of them you fight her and on the other she rips out her heart from her body and gives it to Ayato and so Yuuka transforms into Ishtar the Megami, then at the top floor of Bael Castle they find Murmur the Fallen who after a fight is defeated, and then upon entering the main room they find Baal the Tyrant who after asking Ishtar to be his wife to which she refuses he starts a fight. Upon being defeated, Baal asks Ayato to pierce him with his own sword or if he'll be the new King of Tokyo, saying no to either question Baal transforms into a frog and can either die or escape depending on the choices. After that Ayato and Ishtar stand upon the ruined city and Ayato says that his love between him and Ishtar will be eternal.

Route 2: Depending on if Ayato chose Yuuka or gets betrayed by her and had a Law alignment he instead will be greeted by angels calling him the new Messiah.

Route 3:If Ayato's aligment was Light-Law after doing any route he will grow angelic wings on his back and also be called the new Messiah depending on if he did Route 2.

Route 4: Ayato chooses Rui, this enrages Ishtar and attacks Ayato who after is defeated dies. Upon reaching the top floor of Bael Castle they fight Murmur the Fallen who after a fight is defeated, and then upon entering the main room they find Baal the Tyrant who after asking Astarte where is Ishtar, she responds that she is dead, and now enraged, Baal starts a fight. Upon being defeated, Baal asks Ayato to pierce him with his own sword or if he'll be the new King of Tokyo, saying no to either question Baal transforms into a frog and can either die or escape depending on the choices. After this, Ayato alongside Astarte stand on a pile of demons, now calling themselves the new rulers of Tokyo.

Route 5: If Ayato chooses Rui and gets any route related to her and route he on the sky will see Ishtar flying to the moon with a sad face, the beautiful Goddess will await for his next time to reincarnate.

Route 6: If Ayato says yes to the questions Baal makes or dies during the fight with him, he will then see everything is now darkness, he sees visions of demons he fought mocking him and then if he decides to struggle he will see a lot of demons praising him as their new King and after that he loses consciousness, and if he chose Rui he will also get Route 5.
