Absurdity: Asking the Voices of Swords Guinness gives Belle permission to do what she wants, but she chooses to fight with the group. They are attacked by a mermaid zombie with ice powers until Bennett defeats her. Deeper in the tree, a boy zombie attacks the group with soldiers controlled like marionettes until Guinness defeats him. He drops Adonis' father's sword, but Bamboo snatches it and escapes, only to be attacked by Kitty. Gaff and his men appear and order Belle's group to surrender their swords, madly claiming to know the god's will and that he will stop Adonis alone. They refuse and Belle and Gaff fight until Belle points out he has not properly communed with his sword, making him lose the will to fight. Belle's group continues deeper into the tree and enters an area that weakens and causes them pain, though Belle is unaffected. Bamboo appears and Belle kills it, making it drop the sword. More zombies attack them, but Kitty appears, wipes out the zombies, and uses a force field to protect them from the weakening effect. Adonis uses an illusion of himself to trick Belle into accidentally breaking his father's sword. Belle and Kitty decide to confront Adonis and Sherry alone while the others return to the surface with the sword. Bennett suddenly threatens to shoot Belle with an arrow, saying she is too dangerous and could potentially even kill the god, but Guinness believes in her and he stands down. As Belle and Kitty continue, she says she will finally get answers on what she is and where she came from.
