As they drive inland, the team, apart from Victor who is wearing a mask, are affected by a gas escaping from cracks in the land’s surface which act as a stimulant, causing them to behave erratically and dangerously.
Suddenly, a giant worm-like beast attacks them and a talking mole leaps onto their vehicle for safety. Shinra and Orgun try to divert the worm away, and they unearth the mole, Scop, is responsible for ransacking the Noto garden owing to its potatoes. Scop proposes to guide them to its home, an oasis near the spatial rift which has since been taken over by invaders.
Along the way, they meet Scop’s friend, Yata, a talking crow, and that night the team witness a multitude of Infernals wandering the countryside. When the team arrive at the oasis, Yata shows Shinra the Tabernacle, an Amaterasu similar to the one in Tokyo Empire. Scop leads them through a forest scattered with debris of past human habitation, and they arrive at one of the pillars surrounding the Tabernacle. As they approach, Infernal dogs associated with the invaders attack them, but Tamaki puts them to rest. Later, Shinra hears an internal voice telling him to save the forest.
