Meanwhile Aella was still yelling at Roy but then Elijah wakes up, he advices them that they should inspect the the black void. Aella advices Elijah to look after Edward and by that time she and Roy would investigate the black void. As Aella and Roy were approaching the black void a explosion takes place far away. She instructs Roy to look after it but he doesn't listen to her says that she needs his help, there might be some danger ahead. Aella slaps Roy and yells at him again, 'go and see what's happening! I can handle this myself! Just go!'. Roy couldn't look in her eye and tells her to be safe and rushes their. After a few minutes she reaches near the black void where she sees that everything was turned into gold and diamond. She couldn't believe her eyes, then she notices Antonio lying on the ground with some injured soldiers. Antonio was bleeding profusely, Aella called the medical experts. Antonio couldn't talk properly, he just tells her to go away and then faints. Aella gets cautious and out of the blue she gets very tired. A fat middle aged man with glasses appears wearing a vest and shorts. Her vision gets hazy, she couldn't able to see him properly, the man grabs her throat crushes her to the ground. That man keeps doing that again and again. But then steps in a black muscular man wearing a blue police vest, he was none other Titus Relish. He quickly makes his move and with just one movement of his hand the man gets crushed on the ground. Titus approaches him and asks his identify to which replies that he is Belphegor, the sin of sloth. Titus stomps on his face and crushes him again. Belphegor yells that he is not able to control Titus, he starts screaming. 'Laziness is a choice and working at your best is the only option to lead a happy life, and you cannot understand that', Titus verbalizes. He also adds that he doesn't need any help of virtue to kill him. But then a thunder strikes Titus, and with that Belphegor runs to save his life. Meanwhile Roy reaches the place where the explosion took place, there he sees the place destroyed and an old man with black hat. He approaches him but then the old man disappears. Immediately after that Shizuka and the soldiers appear. Shizuka asks where Aella was, to which he says that she's near the black void. Shizuka gets happy and with Roy rushes towards the black void but then suddenly the place turned into gold. A man with white suits appears with a fear on his face, 'please understand I am not doing this but the thing inside me is doing all this!, please save me guys', said the man. Then he attacks them shooting lasers from his hands, they dodge it but some of the soldiers turn into gold. Shizuka, Roy and the remaining soldiers were shocked. The unknown man mumbles, 'just give it up, I have taken your body'. Shizuka couldn't understand what happened a ripped a part of her skin, she used the blood to make a sword and then attacks him. The unknown man dodges her attacks, he tells at her that he is not the threat but the thing living inside him is. Shizuka doesn't listen to him and attacks her countless times, the unknown man also dodges the attacks. Roy then yells at Shizuka to stop the fight. Roy understood that the sin has taken host of the man but not completely. Roy recognizes that man as the richest man in the country, 'Richi Rich'. Roy advices him to be strong, but Rich couldn't control his body and attacks Roy. Roy gradually dodges his attacks but then Rich coverts the ground into gold which in result, Roy slips and hits ground then a building transformed in gold falls on him. But then he comes out of the fallen building and yells at him that he is the sin of greed, to which Rich laughs and says that he's correct, he's the sin of greed, Mammon. Roy chuckles and then transforms his energy to heat energy which makes his sword red hot, he starts spinning to convert more energy into heat energy, and then he attacks with his dual sword, 'Heat Energy : Dual heat effect'!. Rich's suit burns, and Roy lacerates his chest. Rich smiles and touches Roy, he converts into a diamond. Rich laughs like a menace and then Shizuka with her blood sword attacks greed but then also touches her and she converts into gold. The soldiers shoot him but he protects himself from the bullets by gold shield. But then Mara appears and punches him on his face. Rich hits the ground, Mara was surrounded by green aura and mark appears on her face saying 'Charity'. She hits him again on his abdominal but then he tries to touch her too but then she burns his hands. 'You might have the greatest power in this world, money, but I have something which money can't buy those are emotions. People can't be greedy because of the likes of you. They work 24/7 to serve the best to their families. Money is earned through hard work but you couldn't understand it. Let me show you the true essence of Money", said Mara.
