To minimize suspicion, Aspros runs over his twin brother, Gemini Defteros, with his mind controling technique, Genrōmaōken, and sends him to the presence of Pope Sage. already prevented and stopped calmly fist Defteros.

Sage agrees, Aspros uses the occasion to seek revenge and tries to kill him. Virgo Asmita, called by Pope Sage in suspicion of Gemini Aspros's intentions, is them forced to intervene. With a protective barrier, he protects both Sage and himself, lamenting that someone like Aspros could have fallen so low, and prepares to start a Battle of the Thousand Days against him.

Aspros repels Asmita's attack, but brings Defteros between them, stating he's not going to be his rival, but his beloved twin brother is. Virgo asks Sage to address Defteros while he took care of Aspros, understanding a bit later why he was assigned to this delicate task. Through his technic Abolition of Doubts, Asmita enters Defteros' tortured mind, sees his true personality and dispels all doubts. To let know Asmita, in a way, he is also responsible for the betrayal of his brother and that he alone can make the difference between them cease to exist, Defteros attacks Aspros piercing his chest with his hands and thus liberating him from Genrōmaōken of. Before dying, Aspros understands why the presence of Asmita was necessary, since he was the only one capable of reasoning with his twin, and soon after applies Genrōmaōken to himself, swearing to everyone that he'd return stronger than ever, to take back the throne the Pope Sage denied him.

The fruits of Mokurenji

In response, Asmita refocuses its cosmos until Tenma get to see behind him a huge Buddha figure that makes Tenma think the Virgo Asmita is also a god. Asmita replies that he is only a traveler in search of truth, and therefore it wants to know what their motivations are.

Through its technical Rikudo Rinne, Asmita proposes sending Tenma one of the six existing worlds according to Buddhist philosophy. In the world of the gods, Virgo Asmita shows Tenma a view of the body's fight against the original Hades the mythological age.

Tenma refuses to believe that his destiny and that of Alone and Sasha already written and assured that the promise made ​​in the past three at this time will prevent a repeat of the previous result of holy wars, is relaunching its meteors Asmita. This stops the attack again, outlines a half smile and praise the strength of the heart of Tenma abandoning the lotus position and standing.
