After Zayin detects a strange signal in Holytown, Aleph investigates the area and finds a massive tail sticking out of the ground. In Old Roppongi, he hears from the Mutant Elder that this tail most likely belongs to Moloch, who resides in the Expanse. According to residents of the Expanse, Moloch is absorbing Magnetite to burn it as fuel. Later, Lucifer reveals that he had Moloch gather Magnetite on the orders of YHVH, in order to funnel that energy into Kuzuryu.
