Devil Summoner 2 - ep08

The battle get start as this Septentrion appears before Hibiki, that it is nothing but a giant rolling ball with protruding spikes. Although when Hibiki teams up with Nitta to destroy one of the three, it is only once they destroy it does he realize what Yamato meant about why they all had to work together. Since they can't be destroyed individually, then the greatest problem is going to lie with Ronaldo's group since they are the weakest. In the end it takes the Septentrion destroying an auditorium that Airi preformed in to give her the strength need to destroy this Septentrion. That with the appearance of Airi's new demon all three groups have the strength that they need to destroy all three part of this Septentrion simultaneously. However in it's destruction there is still the fact that Hibiki received a Dead clip of Ronaldo death. Initially it awakening of Airi's new power that they prevent the prophesied death from coming true. Although in it's last moments the Septentrion unleashes a final attack, that kills Ronaldo as the Dead clip foretold. However before the battle he gave Hibiki a jump drive with everything he discovered about Yamato. That now with Ronaldo gone Hibiki will probably need it new more than ever. There is also the question of what will happen to the resistance now that Ronaldo is gone. Will Hibiki take charge and lead them in Ronaldo's place or will JP's absorb them back into there organization.

Then as Hibiki is reflecting on all that has happen, he receives a visit by Alcor. Then when Hibiki question him on the fact on why he won't help them if he has the power, it is then that he reveals that this is a trial for humanity. That since he isn't human he isn't allow to help because he is a Septentrion like the one's that they already have defeated. Then he explains that the world is governed by Polaris, that many view it to be a god. In the end it takes action to maintain the worlds order, and the Septentrion exist to see that it's will is enforced. That in the end this is why Alcor made Nicaea and the demon summoning app is because there is nothing he could do to directly to openly deify Polaris. However he could create the tools to give humanity a choice, that they could go quietly and let Polaris erase them from existence or they could fight. That in the end the people that are alive today or only the ones that choose to fight against their own extinction. This raises the question after everything is over what then. That to Hibiki it raise the question of even if they survive will their be any worth in world where nothing remains while it seems that Yamato doesn't care about saving the world because he doesn't believe there is anything to save. The question is what does Yamato really want, and is he going to achieve once everything is finished.
