As the time nears for the final ceremony that will bring Susano-oh to full power, a dome, impenetrable to anyone without a blue seed, appears over the city of Kogure. When Kusanagi goes there in search of the godling, he finds himself trapped in a world of phantoms where even his own existence is questionable and Momiji must use her love to recall him to the real world. But will it be enough? Then, as the time for the Tamafuri Ceremony draws ever nearer, the TAC travels to Izumo in a desperate attempt to head off Susano-oh. Momiji's homecoming, however, is a rocky one as she remains distracted by thoughts of the coming cataclysm.
