Summary[]
The group gets ready for the meeting with Goddess, trying to take every reasonable precaution but are "aligned" by Goddess. They also realize that Amy Dallon is working with Goddess helping her achieve her goals.
Breakthrough helps Goddess breaking into the parahuman prison to collect new recruits and her specific target, a former multi-trigger that was part of her cluster. Breakthrough is able to stop Teacher from killing all the prisoners and helps Goddess capture her new recruits.
After leaving Monokeros in the old prison pocket dimension, Goddess is killed by Cryptid in a form that prevents her alignment. Cyrptid and Amy convince the prisoners who made it out to join them to go to Earth Shin.
Interspersed through out this book is a flashback to the Vera twins history from their trigger to when Tristan tried to pretend that Byron had been killed.
The final interlude offers a window into the routine of Valkyrie in her constant attempts to remain sane.
