I have born witness to the business pursuits
this foundation has undertaken.
There is but one thing we hope to achieve:
the further evolution of mankind.
Humans have yet to awaken to their hidden potential.
When the chrysalis takes flight as a butterfly,
there will be no war, no famine,
no discrimination, no borders.
Realizing this perfect world
should definitely be in our power.
For the sake of that brilliant future,
we shall exert all our efforts.
I make you all this promise:
The Loewenherz Foundation shall construct Heaven on Earth.

The Ruler Atop the Board
An excellent speech, Mr. Klondike.
Such nonsense befits those of their stature.
Say, Uncle,
isn't there anything interesting going on?
Since we've stopped being friends with the Orpheus Order,
I've been so bored!
My apologies.
We still have yet to discover Freecell's whereabouts.
There's nothing to worry about.
Oh, my!
This is...
Freecell!
Mr. Klondike, you have him?
I shall allow no one to attempt to evade my calculations.
Then you have already...
Thanks to the final data extracted from his Ring...
The Final Ring has been completed.
Everything is going according to my calculations.
Sir.
Melancholy, please get things ready.
We're going to go play somewhere?
Yes, to begin the ceremony.
Jeez, where did Doubt and Pinochle run off to?
The POG was giving them protection,
so for them to disappear without saying anything...
I just don't like those guys!
I, Ana, think Gammon seems lonely!
I..I ain't lonely at all!
Still, Mizerka has been saved
and we've basically won the fight
against the Orpheus Order, right?
No, details of their organization remain unclear.
Especially...
Klondike.
The one who gave Freecell and the
others Replica Rings and then controlled them...
He's the ringleader.
That guy hasn't shown his face at all.
Doubt said they didn't know anything about him.
Klondike...
Just who is he?
What?
This is...
The emergency partitions have lowered on their own!
External communications are completely cut off!
Who could do something like this?
Oh, Kaito, let's play!
What do you all think you're doing?!
You're pickin' a fight with the POG this time?!
Oh my, could you please not get the wrong idea?
I could have done that any time I'd wanted to.
It just happened to have been today, that's all.
Miss Melancholy's prank seems to have gone too far.
My apologies.
Today,
we have brought a message from
Mr. Klondike, Leader of the Orpheus Order.
Klondike you say?!
Hello, Kaito Daimon.
I am Klondike.
I would like to offer you a game.
A game?
Perhaps by now you've thought you'd like to see me?
If so, why not engage me in battle
that we may settle this,
via the puzzles you love so much?
Gimme a damn break!
That's right, he can't-
He can't just accept such a one-sided proposition.
That's what you're thinking.
However, perhaps Kaito has found himself
somewhat amenable to the idea.
Now then, allow me to give one final push:
As of now, Freecell is in my keeping.
What?!
I thought you wished to free him
from the Ring, save him, as it were.
Still...
You're free to choose whether you believe or not.
I have prepared a suitable setting for our game.
I shall guide you.
Hey, is this really all right?
It could be a trap.
We don't have a choice.
He says he has Freecell.
But that could just be a lie!
I, Ana, think it doesn't matter if it's true or a lie.
You think that idiot could do nothing
after bein' told something like that?
That bastard Klondike is a hell of a schemer.
No matter what awaits me,
I'll take it on and I'll win!
How far do they plan on takin' us?
Ah, there!
It's...
You must be tired after your long journey, Kaito Daimon.
Klondike, where is Freecell?!
I will tell you once you've beaten me.
You're fulla crap!
Who do you think you are?!
Who do you think you are addressing, peasant?
Do you still not understand?
I have already provided for you.
You have a chance at a game
you would otherwise not survive.
Ascend, I shall be your opponent.
That bastard Klondike...
How come he's gotten all bold and wants to pick a fight now?
So, could he have some other objective?
I, Ana, think...
That man is completely dark.
I can see nothing.
I'll doing some digging, find out who he is!
Well, Uncle...
I hope you'll let us enjoy this.
Do you even get it?
This Klondike person is manipulating you too!
Listen, Mizerka and Doubt's Rings were-
You're the one who doesn't get it.
I'm different from those guys.
Huh?
Look, it's starting.
This game is a match-style maze puzzle, the Straying Field.
First, you must draw a maze within a 20 x 20 field.
However, your opponent will be unable to see the maze's walls.
You must each solve this unseen maze.
That is the objective of this game.
Both players, please make mazes with the goal
being your opponent's current position.
Making and solving...
A puzzle that tests abilities as both Giver and Solver, huh?
The fight's already begun!
Still, they were most foolish, weren't they?
Doubt and the others?
Huh?
They believed till the end, yes?
That the Rings were being developed
to be shared with all mankind.
It was all a lie.
What?
It can't be!
Then why?!
If you present them with ideals,
you can use any number of fools.
The true purpose was none other than...
to create the one Final Ring for myself.
Final Ring?!
All have acted according to my calculations.
Freecell...
And Kaito Daimon, you as well.
I have repeated experiments throughout
the world to complete the Ring.
However...
No specimen has provided me with such
excellent data as yourself.
Bastard, you've gone too far!
That's right!
How can you do this to people?!
The fates of Freecell and the
others were screwed up for the likes of you?!
I'm grateful.
You're goin' down.
There's no way I'm lettin' you pull off this plan!
It seems your maze preparations are complete.
Mr. Kaito, you go first.
Now then, shall we begin?
It's the ceremony of awakening!
That guy has a Replica Ring too?
Oh my, Uncle's Ring isn't some replica.
That's none other than the Final Ring!
Now then, the Straying Field...
Play.
Here I come!
Both players may progress through the field.
When you hit a wall, movement halts
and the other player takes a turn.
Also, the first player to reach his goal wins.
If you just go by trial and error,
you'll never reach the goal.
You've gotta read the opponent's maze,
infer the entire layout.
This is a super high-level puzzle!
Kaito's havin' a tough time of it.
No way...
It's to be expected.
Having to avoid walls you can't see,
moving forward with no hints...
It would take unbelievable skill to read
the opponent's thought process that quickly.
I see, so this is your maze, eh?
What's goin' on?
I can't read his maze at all!
What's more, I don't feel anything from his maze!
What is this blank-faced maze?!
I should have told you at the start:
There is absolutely no way you can beat me.
Such was the outcome of my calculations.
Shut up!
That reaction follows my calculations.
Calculations, calculations!
Shut up already!
This is a puzzle.
It is nothing more than a foolish game.
What was that?
My apologies.
Today was actually my first time to play a puzzle.
To me, this puzzle is nothing more
than a means to achieve my goal.
Yes, like you, Freecell and the rest, it is just a tool.
So, that guy's an amateur at puzzles?!
How can he do it faster than Kaito?
Don't tell me,
that's the power of this Final Ring thing!
No!
This isn't the Ring's power.
His Ring isn't active yet.
What was that?!
Klondike is fighting with his own abilities.
Impossible!
You're sayin' he's already better than Kaito?!
I, Ana, think that if his Ring goes active...
This is really bad.
If that's the case, what is the meaning of this game?
Serves you right, Kaito Daimon!
Uncle, please be even meaner to him!
Shut your ass up there!
Two-bit fakes wearing fake-ass Rings
can shut their pieholes!
I believe I told you:
I am not like the others.
Ah, what is this?!
What's wrong, Cube?
I get it now.
Compared to the data from the last battle,
that Ring's reading just now...
It's not a Replica Ring!
Do you understand now?
I am the real thing.
"Real thing"?
It's like sitting on a gold mine, in the truest sense.
What does that mean?
What Miss Melancholy wears is a real Orpheus Ring.
And she herself is a true Phi-Brain child.
Mr. Klondike acquired the real Orpheus Ring,
which was previously stored by the Orpheus Order.
But the one the Ring chose wasn't me.
It was Melancholy.
However,
Melancholy had no aspirations of becoming a Phi-Brain.
I mean, all this Phi-Brain and Puzzle of God stuff
is a big pain.
I'm fine being able to just have fun and play.
That's why you made the Replica Rings!
Yes, to obtain the power of the Phi-Brain,
it was necessary to complete them, no matter what.
Additionally, I made use of the Orpheus Order.
I used the great cause of "freeing mankind,"
to complete the one, sole Final Ring for myself.
What I want...
is the intellect to calculate and control all events
within this world.
At the dawn of my becoming a Phi-Brain,
all that happens in this world
shall rest in the palm of my hand.
Shut the hell up!
You're tryin' to become God or somethin'?!
God?
I've never once believed such a thing exists.
However, once I've acquired this power,
people will no doubt...
call me "God"!
That ain't gonna happen!
"Calculations," my ass!
I'm gonna smash your calculations to hell!
Right here, right now!
Kaito Daimon, just as I've calculated...
You've lost.
Shut the hell up.
There ain't no puzzle I can't solve!
Something's weird about this maze.
If all the walls I've hit so far are connected,
it makes a closed-off area, not a maze.
Don't tell me...
I knew it!
Right from the start, this wasn't a maze!
He just arranged walls separate from one another!
I've figured out your puzzle!
Honestly, you act per my calculations, Kaito Daimon.
You've done it, Kaito!
Go all the way to the goal!
No!
No, Kaito...
Don't solve the puzzle!
I know it, this puzzle.
I win!
I've waited for that.
What's happening?
I don't know,
it's like the field is intensifying somehow.
It can't be!
The Final Ring is activated!
I see it...
I can see it!
Via Kaito Daimon's data,
all the puzzle answers up till now.
This is the Ring's power?
As I calculated, the Ring's awakening was a success!
Uncle, you've finally become one,
a Phi-Brain.
Bastard, just what have you done?
Activating the Final Ring, Mr. Kaito Daimon,
required the limitless power of one such as you,
who had approached Phi-Brain potential.
This field was a device for amplifying your power.
That power was the priming agent, and now,
the Final Ring has been awakened.
The game ends here.
I'm grateful to you, Kaito Daimon.
Without you, the Ring could not have been awakened.
Klondike, you prick!
Now then, let's go, Melancholy.
Okay, Uncle.
Wait there, Klondike!
Freecell...
Where's Freecell?
Ah, him, eh?
Freecell!
I used him as sacrifice for completing the Ring.
The shock of extracting his data
caused him to lose consciousness.
Freecell...
Freecell!
Kaito...

Klondike of the Orpheus Order decides to
rely on a "Tanaka" from Kanagawa.
He writes a love letter inside a crossword puzzle,
but come the appointed meeting time, the girl fails to show.
"Will springtime come for me?"
Sorry, Tanaka!
That was too bad, huh?
A letter would have been easier to understand.
Next time, "God's Miscalculation"
God's Miscalculation
I shall be counting on you.
