I can never meet my family or embrace my daughter again with such a monstrous body."" 004 hesitates to fight at his word, over wrapping himself. 0011 takes advantage of this, spreads some kind of liquid, and withdraws. After a while, something wrong happens to the Cyborgs after the fight. Turns out that the liquid 0011 spread is poisonous. The team is paralyzed and falls down. At the sight of them, the remodeled 0011 comes back to attack them.

The boy turns out to be 0013 and he is controlling the huge invincible robot. 007 engages the robot and 0013 makes it disappear but now is 009 alone against his enemies. 0013 is on the side of the Black Ghosts but he warns 009 when the other killers try to shoot him in the back. This is because he doesn't want the little girl to be hit. The leader of the Cyborg killers almost shoots 009 and the girl when 0013 suddenly kills them all.

Then from out of the storm come the Greek Gods of Apollo, Achilles and Miniatauros. A battle is fought until Apollo's sister, Artemis, stops it commanding Apollo to withdraw. He does and then Artemis explains for the heroes that all the phenomena are the work of the Gods to kill the impure and make the world once more a peaceful place. 009 and his friends disagree with this method so they track the Gods to a base in the islands of Greece.

Dr Geya runs his controller machine so hard that many things go wrong on the surface with lava and fire coming up from cracks on the earth as huge gaps form. Pan saves Artemis. With her last remaining powers and Pan's help, they manage to take her to the battle there she stops 009 and Apollo's duel. In her weakened state, she tells Apollo that Geya shot her and that they all were fooled because Geya wants to spread confusion in the world rather than peace. Then Artemis dies. Apollo runs away and down into the temple killing Dr Geya. Apollo opens the wall so Dr Gilmore and his companions can escape. But Apollo refuses to follow the heroes up to safety.

He battles the robot once more, and they fight so intensely that the difference can't be seen between the two. But when the robot prepares to destroy an innocent bird's nest, 004 saves it, proving that he is a human, not a machine.
