A brief recap of the previous episode

After exiting the Goddess Trials, Cid was followed by a magical door everywhere he went. He eventually gave up and entered the door, which transported him to the Sanctuary. He met Aurora there and rescued her from the constraints.

Aurora sought Cid’s help to destroy the Sanctuary’s core to free her and the rest of the imprisoned ancient memories, which will be entwined with nothingness after disappearing.

Members of the Shadow Garden surrounded Archbishop Nelson at the Goddess Trials. After Nelson’s henchman, Venom, got defeated by Epsilon, he was dragged into the Sanctuary. Disregarding Alpha’s warning, Alexia and Rose entered the Sanctuary at their own risk.

In the Sanctuary, Alpha summoned the memories of hero Olivier and revealed herself to be her direct descendant. Olivier was revealed to be the only Cult of Diablos’ test subject perfectly compatible with the demon Diabolos cells.

Alpha activated Nelson’s memories and unveiled that he was the one who invented the powerful beads salvaged from the demon Diabolos' blood, which is the primary source of power for the 12 Knights of Rounds. After being attacked by Delta, Nelson showed his true face by revealing himself as the Eleventh Seated member of Rounds.
