Unaware of the advent of the Pallasites, Ryuhou believes that there is no reason to fight anymore and wants to return the Dragon Cloth to his father Shiryu, whose senses were restored, and live peacefully with his family. Meanwhile, Koga and the others learn that a Pallasite is after Ryuhou and rush to assist him, but when Ryuhou finds himself struggling to protect his mother Shunrei from the enemy, his renewed determination awakens his true power as the Dragon Saint and the new Dragon Cloth.

As the Saints mourn Genbu's death, Hati appears to resume the assault on the Palaestra until Seiya and Athena appear to drive the enemies away. Having finally decided to confront her sister, Saori takes advantage of the curse placed on her to find out where Pallas is hiding.

The second day of battles begin, and Koga, Ryuhou, Haruto, and Subaru take a chance to make a beeline for the Palace until they are intercepted by Mira, a Pallasite of unknown rank who fights without donning his Chronotector. Despite seemingly at a disadvantage, Mira easily overpowers the party with his speed and his Alchemy Glove's mysterious power to destroy Saint Cloths just by touching them, until Haruto realizes his trick and comes up with a way to fight back, but Mira is barely scathed by the counter. Just as he is about to don his Chronotector, he is ...

As Saori and her escorts advance through the city overcoming all opposition, Ryuhou is separated from his fellow Bronze Saints by Paradox, who returns as a Secondary Pallasite for a rematch. Paradox's sister Integra appears to assist him as the new Gemini Gold Saint, while the last of the legendary saints, Phoenix Ikki, prepares himself to join the battle as well.

While Eden questions Subaru who he really is, Koga, Souma, Yuna, and Shun encounter the Primary Pallasite Aegaeon who wants to test the Bronze Saints' powers himself. After telling the Saints about how Ikki put his life on the line to crack Aegaeon's sword, Shun has a hard time fighting him until Koga, Souma, and Yuna keep fighting the Pallasite, defending Shun. Burning his Cosmo to the maximum, Koga manages to give Aegaeon a crack to his sword, before Ikki arrives to save the Bronze Saints, taking over the battle.

After dealing with Paradox, Gallia turns her attention to Athena and the Gold Saints, easily deflecting all their attacks until she reveals her Photontector. Meanwhile, the other three groups figure out the meaning of their endless running, figuring out that someone has put them into an endless corridor. As Seiya's attacks are easily deflected, and Gallia is about to kill him, Pallas informs her to stand back, with Gallia mocking Pallas for receiving no love in spite of being the Goddess of Love. However, Integra and Paradox combine their Cosmo, and destroy Europa's ...

Accompained only by Seiya and Harbinger, Saori finally comes face to face with Pallas. Titan steps in to protect his master and Harbinger challenges the Pallasite, using Athena's cloth to draw his attention. Treating him as a mere ruffian, Titan is surprised by the true might of the Taurus Saint, who proves himself far more powerful and noble than he claims to be.

Seiya is defeated by Saturn before Kouga and his friends also fall before his almighty power, following a desperate battle in which the Bronze Saints are defeated one by one. When all seems lost, Athena gathers the Cosmos of all the other Saints to restore Kouga, who rises again as the ultimate Omega Saint, determined to stop the God of Time once and for all.
