| Escaping the field of frozen time, Rebecca is aided by the elderly Professor Weisz against the intruder, the Oración Seis Galáctica member Joker Helix. Once an AI-powered game engine developed by Professor Weisz for Rebecca as a child, Joker traps Rebecca in a series of video game-like dimensions to play with her while attempting to steal the Mother Ether. With Shiki and the professor's help, Rebecca overcomes Joker's games and convinces her to surrender peacefully. Before leaving, Professor Weisz gives Pino a flash drive containing her deleted memories about the Four Shining Stars' creation. The Edens Zero follows the waymark into uncharted space, where they are followed and attacked by God Acnoella and the Four Dark Stars. Meanwhile, Pino short-circuits after installing her memories and learning that human versions of the Shining Stars and Dark Stars have lived 20,000 years ago on a dying, modern-day Earth. | |||||

| Killer uploads a self-destruct program onto the Edens Zero, which Hermit works to resolve by overriding the ship's systems with the other Shining Stars' authorization. However, the crew is preoccupied by the Edens One's forces, with Mosco defeating Clown by changing into Cosmo, his overly dominant alter ego triggered by his forbidden button. Meanwhile, Shiki infiltrates the Edens One to confront Void, but is killed by Lightning Law, one of Void's Oración Seis Galáctica. Discovering she can still reverse time in Universe Zero by becoming naked, Rebecca averts Shiki's death and contacts Laguna, who enters Overdrive and defeats Law. Shiki and Rebecca pursue Void as he approaches Mother to kill her. When Shiki fails to defeat Void, Ziggy returns alive to battle Void himself. | |||||

| Witch, Valkyrie, Homura, and Weisz defeat the remaining Dark Stars and Acnoella, preventing the Edens Zero's self-destruction. Meanwhile, Ziggy sends Shiki to save Mother while he battles Void, whom Ziggy recognizes as his and Rebecca's son from the future. Shiki's group finally reaches Mother, who offers Shiki a choice between saving her, which would cause all those who died in previous universes to die in Universe Zero, or preventing these deaths while guaranteeing Mother's death. To aid his decision, Mother reveals herself to be transformed state of planet Earth, which the Shining Stars' and Dark Stars' human models – including Shiki's parents, the models for Witch and Wizard – sent into Overdrive to save the planet from destruction at the cost of their lives 20,000 years ago. She further explains that the Chronophage reverted Mother to her planetary form fifteen years ago, leading Ziggy to discover Shiki as Earth's last survivor before Mother's rebirth. | |||||

| Shiki chooses to let Mother disappear to preserve his friends' lives, but intends to save her by having the Chronophage restore her as Earth before she completely vanishes. The Edens Zero crew lures the Chronophage by transmitting their time-displaced Ether across B-Cube with Labilia's help. The crew is hindered by Cure and Lady Freyja, the last remaining members of the Oración Seis Galáctica, who are defeated by Jinn and Homura, respectively. To hasten the process, Shiki has Xiaomei send him directly into the Chronophage's path, where he enters the creature's stomach and finds its true form: a masked female figure who demands the return of her stolen "time". Meanwhile, Ziggy enters Overdrive and severs Void's legs, robbing Void of his time powers inherited from Rebecca. | |||||

| Void summons an armada of warships against the Edens Zero. Contacted by Labilia, the Edens Zero's allies arrive and destroy the armada, allowing Ziggy and the Edens Zero to destroy Void and the Edens One. Meanwhile, the Chronophage determines her "time" cannot be found and prepares to annihilate the universe with a Big Bang. Shiki absorbs energy from the Chronophage's attack with his gravity, strengthening him enough to force her into eating Mother, which restores Earth. However, the Chronophage recognizes Rebecca and possesses her, revealing the monster to be Rebecca's amnesiac future self from Ziggy's timeline, where she escaped her body to follow Ziggy into the past. When Shiki desperately reminds the future Rebecca of their friendship, she regains her memories and fades away, releasing the present Rebecca. Pino deems her own role complete and quietly deactivates, while the Four Shining Stars supply their human selves with technology to help them properly revitalize Earth. Years later, the crew gathers on Granbell for the birth of Shiki and Rebecca's daughter. In limbo, Mother offers Pino a chance to be reincarnated as this child to fulfill her dreams of being human, but Pino instead chooses to be reactivated as an android and reunites with her friends. | |||||
