| Shiki and his friends discover that they have traveled fifty years to Norma's past, recognizing the youth as a younger version of Weisz, who has stolen a briefcase from the criminal Sibir. The briefcase contains E.M. Pino, an android from the present era whose memory has been erased by Sibir, who has been using her EMP to commit crimes. After Shiki defeats Sibir and rescues Pino, the group takes her off Norma with the help of Weisz, whose "Machina Maker" Ether Gear modifies the Aqua Wing to bypass a spacetime barrier surrounding the planet. The present-day Weisz contacts the group, explaining that the "past" they experienced was an alternate history created by the Chronophage, a space monster that devoured fifty years of Norma's time. The group is suddenly captured by the space pirate Elsie Crimson, whose ship, the Skull Fairy, is infested with alien parasites mimicking Elsie and her crew. After Shiki defeats Elsie's imposter, she rewards him with the Skull Fairy, which she reveals to be Shiki's inheritance from his adoptive grandfather and Pino's creator, the robot Demon King Ziggy. | |||||

| Witch, Valkyrie, Homura, and Weisz defeat the remaining Dark Stars and Acnoella, preventing Edens Zero's self-destruction. Ziggy sends Shiki to save Mother while he distracts 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 she had been temporarily reverted to her planetary form by the Chronophage fifteen years earlier, an event that led Ziggy to rescue the infant Shiki before Mother's rebirth. | |||||

| Shiki chooses to let Mother disappear to preserve his friends' lives, but intends to save her by having the Chronophage revert her back into Earth and preventing its destruction before she completely vanishes. The Edens Zero crew lures the Chronophage by transmitting their time-displaced Ether across B-Cube, restoring Labilia and Couchpo's memories to assist them. 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 enlists the help of Xiaomei, who reveals her own identity as Earth's Moon. Xiaomei uses her powers to send Shiki directly into the Chronophage's path, where he enters the creature's stomach and encounters its true form: a masked female figure who demands the return of her stolen "time".

| Void summons an armada of warships against Edens Zero. Contacted by Labilia, Edens Zero's allies arrive and destroy the armada, allowing Ziggy and Edens Zero to destroy Void and 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. The Chronophage resumes her attack after recognizing and possessing Rebecca, revealing the monster to be Rebecca's amnesiac future self from Ziggy's timeline, who escaped her comatose 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. | |||||
