The two use their Sekishiki Meikai Ha attack in a desperate attempt, and end up succeeding in separating Thanatos' soul from his physical body, but that isn't enough to defeat the god of death. Manigoldo sacrifices himself in order to destroy Thanatos' physical body, leaving the god an exposed soul before Sage. Thanatos tries to possess Sage but finds himself trapped when the Pope reveals that he is wearing Hakurei's Altar Cloth.
