Elsie's arrival allows the Edens Zero to dodge the Edens One's main cannon. Ziggy retreats upon recognizing Elsie as one of the Oración Seis Galáctica, six powerful warriors that include Drakken. Elsie boards the Edens Zero to discuss Ziggy's change, revealing her past as a war refugee whom Ziggy rescued and entrusted with delivering the Edens Zero to Shiki. She also reveals that she had been monitoring Ziggy since her last encounter with Shiki, having detected a dark, unfamiliar Ether from his remains, leading to her discovery that Ziggy is seeking Mother again. After Elsie departs, Shiki affirms his crew's goal to find Mother and defeat Ziggy. Resuming their voyage, the Edens Zero crosses through Dragonfall and emerges in the Aoi Cosmos, a sector ruled by another of the Oración Seis Galáctica, Emperor Poseidon Nero. Hermit reviews the ship's deleted logs and finds leftover data on the fire planet Red Cave, where she suspects they will find a clue to Mother.
