In Tower of God season 2 episode 21, while Khun reviews the match recording and speculates about what truly transpired, Miya approaches him. She calls him by name, revealing that she knew his true identity all along, and discloses that she is one of the three Gamblers FUG appointed.

The scene then shifts to Khun sitting alone, questioning FUG's motives, before reuniting with Shibisu. Elsewhere, Beta and Cassano discuss their arrangement, with Beta explaining his agreement to work with FUG as a way to make Baam suffer just as he did.

Meanwhile, Baam, restrained by shinsu, finds himself at the bottom of the thorn pit. Reflecting on his inability to use shinsu, Reflejo approaches him, who reveals his belief that Baam is likely to betray FUG. Reflejo supports the idea of turning Baam into a weapon rather than letting him remain a potentially disloyal Slayer Candidate.

Reflejo further explains that the Archimedes is transporting a solution that will be poured into the pit. This solution will dissolve everything except the Thorn, creating the ultimate weapon to be entrusted to a suitable master.

At Khun's reunion with Shibisu and Hatz, the latter reveals that Baam is in grave danger and shares everything he learned about the situation from Lero Ro. Khun then informs the rest of the team about what's happening. A flashback shows Hatz previously attempting to stop Beta but ultimately failing to stop him.

Shibisu explains to Khun that Hatz and Lero Ro couldn't disclose the details earlier due to the presence of FUG Rankers on the Archimedes. Frustrated, Shibisu vows to make FUG pay for ruining their reunion.

Khun, after reading a text, reassures Shibisu that all hope is not lost. He points out that the game is still ongoing and reveals that Lero Ro had anticipated this, crafting a strategy to turn the seemingly unwinnable situation around.

Rak, unwilling to wait, declares his intention to rescue Baam immediately, and Khun decides to join him. Khun announces their plan to save Baam without forfeiting the tournament, leveraging the tournament's structure to summon Baam and secure his rescue.

He also plans to work with the three FUG deserters—Novick, Horyang, and Luto—revealing that Emile provided this information and speculating that one of them left a message signaling their intention to assist in Baam's rescue.

Luto confirms this by revealing to Novick and Horyang how she used keywords to communicate with Khun's team. The episode ends on a suspenseful note as the semifinal round is about to begin, with Khun and Shibisu's team united and ready to execute their rescue plan for Baam.
