After returning to the Center, however, Aleph finds out that demons have invaded the area, and according to the [[Center Bishop]], a false Messiah is running about disparaging Aleph's name, claiming that Aleph himself is the false Messiah. This false Messiah turns out to be Daleth, who publically challenges Aleph to fight to the death at the Colosseum to prove who the real Messiah is. During the fight, Daleth momentarily gains the upper hand and is about to strike a fatal blow on Aleph, but Beth intervenes and jumps in the way, taking the blow for him. Aleph proceeds to win the fight and can try to either spare or kill Daleth, but if he tries to do the latter, Beth will plead for him not to, allowing Daleth to escape with his life. After the Bishop comes forward to announce that Aleph is the Messiah to the crowd, Aleph is approached by a child who gives him a letter from [[Mekata]] asking for him to go to the Slum. There, Mekata vaguely hints that he knows the truth behind Aleph's past. Still, before he is willing to elaborate on it, he requests that Aleph rescue Hiroko, who was imprisoned at the [[Internment Camp]] after she was separated from Aleph.

Still, before he is willing to elaborate on it, he requests that Aleph rescue Hiroko, who was imprisoned at the [[Internment Camp]] after she was separated from Aleph. To get there, Aleph goes through the elevator in the [[Center Passage|Valhalla-Center Passage]], where he once again encounters Daleth, who he defeats and watches as he escapes again. As he heads to the [[Old Suidobashi|old aqueduct]] connecting to the Factory, he can find a shrine housing [[Kotoshironushi]], who has been turned to stone, and if Aleph has a dis-stone or a demon with [[Petradi]] with him, he can restore the deity to normal. Continuing through the old aqueduct, Aleph can optionally encounter a [[Nadja]] who, thinking he is cute, joins his party and teleports them to a locked door that allows them quick passage to the Internment Camp. If he doesn't recruit the Nadja, Aleph must fight the [[Janus|demon]] guarding the elevator leading to the camp. | ||
When Aleph arrives at the Interment Camp, he is stopped by Zayin who maintains that the law is absolute, but after a brief fight, Zayin changes his mind about the law and allows Aleph to go through to Hiroko's cell. When he tries to free Hiroko however, she acts strangely uncooperative and refuses to leave her cell. If Aleph recruited Nadja in the old aqueduct, she will fuse with Hiroko so that she can be part of the one he cares for, which restores her mental state, allowing her to leave with Aleph. If Aleph never recruited Nadja however, he must force Hiroko to go with him, with her returning to her right state of mind once they leave the Factory's vicinity. When the two try to head back to see Mekata however, they are stopped by Zayin, who hurriedly informs them of the Center ordering [[Abaddon]] to swallow Valhalla. When they try to enter Valhalla, all that greets them is a black void, though once they leave, they find Madam's Cerberus who had managed to escape and joins Aleph's party. | When Aleph arrives at the Interment Camp, he is stopped by Zayin who maintains that the law is absolute, but after a brief fight, Zayin changes his mind about the law and allows Aleph to go through to Hiroko's cell.

On his way to the [[Grand Church]]'s elevator that leads there, he is ambushed by Daleth again, though the encounter ends the same as the last one, with Daleth fleeing once again. | ||
When Aleph gets to [[Old Shinjuku|Shinjuku]], Daleth blocks his way once again and orders a fairy named [[Puck]] to throw something at him. Hiroko gets hit with it instead however and becomes enamored with Daleth, chasing after him and leaving Aleph's party. Aleph is informed by [[Hanoun]], another fairy working with Daleth, that the item used on Hiroko was the Infidelity Sap, a love potion that Daleth had intended to be used on Aleph to make him fall in love with Hanoun as a way to get the better of him. Hanoun directs Aleph to the fairy king [[Oberon]] for assistance, who in turn asks that Aleph locate Puck and take the Infidelity Sap from him. Once Aleph finds him at [[Old Higashi-Shinjuku|Higashi-Shinjuku]], he chases him through the dungeon, enduring ailment-inflicting items thrown at him until he finally corners the fairy. Puck will propose that Aleph give him 10,000 [[macca]] in exchange for the Infedelity Sap, a proposal that Aleph can accept or refuse. Either choice will result in Puck yelling that he was just kidding, however, and he will offer to give the Sap to him for free. If Aleph refused to pay him at first, he can reject getting it for free either, which will make Puck give him 10,000 macca instead. He can refuse this as well, which scares Puck and makes him run away, though in the process he drops the Infidelity Sap for Aleph to collect. Once Aleph returns to Oberon and gives him the Sap, the fairy king breaks the spell placed upon Hiroko, making her return to Aleph's side. Aleph also gives Hanoun the Infidelity Sap, who uses it to make Daleth fall in love with her in turn. | When Aleph gets to [[Old Shinjuku|Shinjuku]], Daleth blocks his way once again and orders a fairy named [[Puck]] to throw something at him.
