Hawk's party defeats the demon and returns to Madam, who while disappointed, brushes it off to inform him that a messenger from the Center arrived looking for him. The man looking for Hawk comes forward and tells him to remember his real name, prompting Hawk into a final naming flashback where the man vaguely wonders what path Hawk will choose to take before asking that he give himself a name. If Hawk chooses not to, then he will be told that his name is Aleph, the same name that the man says when the flashback ends. The man introduces himself as Zayin and tells the now-named Aleph that he was originally a resident of the Center, and tells him and his party to come with him. | Hawk's party defeats the demon and returns to Madam, who while disappointed, brushes it off to inform him that a messenger from the Center arrived looking for him.

Arriving at the Center's HQ, Aleph is taken to the command room to meet the [[Center Bishop]], who firstly separates him from Hiroko to question her on why she left the Center on her own. He then welcomes Aleph back and tells him that because Mekata had kidnapped him and erased his memories, he does not remember his purpose; That he is meant to become the [[Messiah (Concept)|Messiah]] that will guide the people to create the [[Millennium Kingdom]]. He then introduces who he claims to be Aleph's destined partner, [[Beth]], who promises to never leave his side. The Bishop then gives out a set of tasks to Aleph involving defeating demons that are threatening the safety of Millennium, including defeating a [[Basilisk]] and [[King Frost]] in [[Holytown]] who have been spreading poisonous gas and freezing the area respectively, and then defeating a [[Betelgeuse]] and a herd of [[Demi-Nandi]] that have been causing havoc at the [[Factory (Shin Megami Tensei II)|Factory]]. When Aleph returns from these missions, he is greeted by Zayin who recommends that Aleph visit | Arriving at the Center's HQ, Aleph is taken to the command room to meet the [[Center Bishop]], who firstly separates him from Hiroko to question her on why she left the Center on her own.

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 and gets the Infidelity Sap from him. Once Aleph returns to Oberon and gives him the Sap, the fairy king breaks the spell placed upon Hiroko, returning her to her right mind and making her rejoin Aleph. Aleph is also asked by Hanoun to give her the Infidelity Sap, which he does, allowing her to use it on Daleth to make him fall in love with her. | When Aleph gets to [[Old Shinjuku|Shinjuku]], Daleth blocks his way once again and orders a fairy named [[Puck]] to throw something at him.

Making his way to [[Old Roppongi|Roppongi]], Aleph comes across some [[Mutants (Shin Megami Tensei II)|Mutants]] guarding someone from view. The person is [[Hiruko (Deity)|Hiruko]], who allows Aleph to approach him and asks that he gather up [[Masakado]]'s body parts scattered across shrines in the Underground. After freeing the [[Kunitsukami]] dwelling in the shrines and taking the body parts they held, Aleph assembles Masakado's body and brings it to Hiruko so he can put Masakado's soul back into it, completely restoring him. Hiruko and Masakado then go to unseal the entrance of [[Sealed Iwato]] and ask that Aleph free all the [[Amatsukami]] imprisoned inside. | Making his way to [[Old Roppongi|Roppongi]], Aleph comes across some [[Mutants (Shin Megami Tensei II)|Mutants]] guarding someone from view.

If Aleph agrees, he proceeds to free each of the Amatsukami and will be thanked by [[Amaterasu]] before she leaves with Hiruko to go to the [[Diamond Realm]]. | ||
As Abaddon is nowhere to be found in the Underground, Aleph returns to Holytown to assist Zayin in his rebellion. They head to the Factory to liberate the people forced to work there, but when they try to free any of the prisoners at the Internment Camp, all of them refuse to leave and are content with being forced to work. Zayin suspects that the [[Watchtower]] is responsible for the people's odd behavior, so Aleph follows him to the Watchtower where he will be unable to enter unless he has 10 points in his intelligence stat. At the top of the tower, Aleph finds Zayin limping, having been defeated by the [[Belphegor|demon]] guarding the place, so he beats him in his stead. The demon's defeat unlocks the room [[Siren]] is imprisoned in, whose singing is the cause of the Factory workers' brainwashing. As her singing is due to the grief at being separated from her lover, [[Petersen]], Aleph manages to open a portal to the [[Makai (Shin Megami Tensei II)|Makai]] to find him and bring him back to Siren, which stops her singing and liberates Factory workers. | |||
Optionally, in the same area of the Makai where Aleph found Petersen, [[Tiferet Town|Tiferet]], Aleph can find a spatial distortion that teleports him to a mysterious facility where multiple people with dilapidated appearances are tied to chairs and hooked up to small machines. Aleph discovers these are the residents of Arcadia, and reaching the top floor, he finds the real Gimel, who reveals that everything in Arcadia was just a virtual simulation and then attacks Aleph's party to find the truth hidden. After defeating Gimel, Aleph is given a choice between inputting his name as the new administrator of Arcadia, destroying the console maintaining Arcadia which kills all the residents hooked up to the simulation, or simply leaving it be. | |||
