"Babel Three" (バベル3 "Baberu Suri"?) "Animals That Connect to Hope" (希望を繋ぐ動物達 "Kibō o Tsunagu Dōbutsu-tachi"?) "The Face of Hope" (希望の顔 "Kibō no Kao"?) "Dogen" (ドウゲン "Dougen"?) Kokonotsuo Takamine asks for help through the tower's sound system, which Riemu responds. Takamine explains about his origin; Quo has created a brain and implanted into a jellyfish, to whom he gave the form of a human. While Takamine is still nursing Taroza, Giller sends Clover, one of the "Babel Three", a new type of enhanced Chimeras. It kills two weasels but is killed by Kiritobi; when Clover dies, its remains are eaten by another Babel Three, Belhem. The animals from lower floors climb to where Taroza is to fight Belhem; he is too strong and Dogen the tiger is only helping other animals to do not die.

But to Giller, the architect of the chimera invasion, to live is to suffer, and the only escape is death. At long last, Giller’s twisted past is revealed—along with his ultimate weapon! Can the animals stop him before all life on earth is extinguished?
