Tyki meets up with Jasdero and David who have been assigned to kill General Cross and travel together to meet the Earl. Chomesuke is captured by one of the Level 3 Akuma, who proves to be more than a match for both Lavi and Krory. However, Lavi cleverly attracts the attention of the other two Level 3s, and the three Akuma begin fighting between each other over who will kill the Exorcists, who seize their chance to escape. Meanwhile the Millennium Earl gathers his Noah in Edo.
Episode 66: Allen trains endlessly with Fo, trying to reactivate his Innocence as he desperately wants to return to his friends and to fight the Akuma alongside them, but he makes little progress. Some within the China Branch are concerned that Allen’s presence may attract Akuma. Fo disguises herself as Lou Fa and talks with Allen, reminding him that he fights not for the sake of fighting, but for something precious to him. Allen remembers that he is fighting for the sake of his friends. Meanwhile, Tyki Mikk checks with the Earl to see if the Cell Roron is correct about Allen's existence.

Before they can do anything, however, the Earl summons all Akuma to Edo, so they leave without doing anything. Chomesuke also parts from the group because the Earl's order is too strong for her to resist, but she manages to tell them that the Earl is at the Edo Castle. Meanwhile, while training with Fo in the Asian Branch, Allen's eye activates. The Earl orders his Akuma army to kill General Cross and General Tiedoll. Lavi and the Exorcists appear and challenge them in order to protect the Generals.

Episode 68: Allen slowly improves his fighting technique, but he still cannot cause his Innocence to materialize. He focuses deeply on returning to his friends, causing his Innocence to show high energy readings. However, just as the energy readings peak, Allen's left eye activates which causes Allen great pain and alarms the scientists. He continues training, and causes a peak in his Innocence energy, however at that point, the pain spikes and Allen faints. Suddenly, Fo senses something strange as Tyki Mikk's Level 3 assassin approaches, and she tells Bak to hide Allen. The Akuma blows a hole through Fo, breaking her defensive barrier. Allen's left eye immediately activates and omits a strange sensation. Fo tells Allen to run, but Allen refuses. At that moment, the Akuma fires a beam of dark matter, piercing Allen’s chest.
Episode 69: The beam from Tyki's Level 3 Akuma assassin partially breaks down Allen's molecular structure, making his body highly unstable and transparent. Bak awakens the guardian deity with a blood seal on his hand, trapping the Akuma in a web of light and the Asian Branch enters lockdown.

Allen enters the room just as Fo is about to be killed by the Akuma and jumps onto the Akuma's back and injures it with his right hand.
Episode 70: Allen engages the Level 3 Akuma in battle. He speaks to the soul trapped within the Akuma which had previously been calling out to him and it asks Allen to save him. However, because his body's composition is unstable, Allen literally begins to fade during the fight. When Allen is almost atomized, the Akuma turns on Bak and Fo piercing them with beams of anti-matter. Enraged, Allen finally decides that he will save humans with his right hand and Akuma with his left hand. The true form of his Innocence is revealed and he easily destroys the Level 3 Akuma and liberates its soul. Before the Akuma dies, it tells Allen of the gathering of the Earl and the Noah in Edo. He also tells Allen the location of Noah's Ark that can take him directly to Edo. It's revealed that the true from Allen's Innocence is called God's Clown, also known as the Crowned Clown. Allen now has a gloved white right hand, a long black left arm with razor sharp talons for fingers, a white cowl that shoots web-like projectiles and is fitted with a mask.

Bak and Allen decide on a new name for Allen's newly evolved Innocence: God's Clown, or the Crowned Clown. The Asian Branch also analyse the Ark which is a dimensional transporter. Allen is then given a new Exorcist coat by Wong, and Bak gives him a wireless communicator in a form of a gold earring, which allows him to talk to Komui. As Allen bids farewell to the Asian Branch, preparing to head off to Edo via Noah's Ark, Lou Fa, Rikei, and Shifu return his deck of cards.

Lavi attacks Tyki with a new move, a combination of the Fire and Heaven Seals. The Exorcists attack the Combined Akuma, but their attacks have little effect. One Combined Akuma uses its Evil Star Gita attack and destroys much of the battlefield. Chomesuke sacrifices herself to enable Lavi, Krory, and Bookman to attack the Combined Akuma's head, its weak point. Although they succeed in knocking it down, the Akuma manages to get back up again and Tyki rejoins the attack. Meanwhile, Allen enters the Ark and is surprised to find that it is a lovely place filled with white buildings, just like any other country.

With Lavi's help, he manages to save Lenalee. Tyki prepares to counterattack, but he retreats when ordered to by the Millennium Earl. Marie uses his Noel Organon's ability to paralyze one of the Combined Akuma. Kanda then reveals Mugen's second illusion, Nigentou, and destroys the Akuma in one slash. However, before the Exorcists can relax, the Earl fires off a black orb of energy that grows larger and larger, engulfing Edo in the process.
Episode 74: The Earl's black orb of energy completely destroys Edo. The Exorcists are left in various conditions, though General Cross' group is more severely wounded. Lenalee, however, is protected by her Innocence, which once again encases her in a crystal-like form. This form catches the Earl's interest, and he sends Tyki, Skin, and the Combined Akuma to obtain her Innocence. Kanda fights Tyki, Lavi and Marie confront Skin, and General Tiedoll confronts the Combined Akuma. He activates his Maker of Eden Innocence and stops it. However, with all the Exorcists doing battle with the Noah, Lenalee is left unguarded, giving the Earl a chance to breach Lenalee's protective Innocence barrier. As he is about to grab her, a white arm stops him. Allen has arrived with the Ark, and he and the Earl meet face to face once again.
Episode 75: After returning to Edo, Allen greets the Earl and vows to protect Lenalee. The Earl retaliates and thus, begins fighting Allen. During the fight, the Earl reveals some of his hidden abilities including turning Lero into a sword. Eventually, Allen hits the Earl with a Cross Grave attack, but the Earl seems unaffected. The Earl laughs and assures Allen that they will continue their fight another time, and he fires a purple orb of energy, which causes a massive explosion.

In Edo, the Exorcists seize their chance to heal and regroup. Despite General Tiedoll's warning of the upcoming dangers, General Cross' group decides to keep moving forward.

Those left behind see a strange object materialize in the sky; the infamous Noah's Ark. Allen and his friends find themselves inside the Ark and see a projection of the Earl which tells them that they will be deleted in three hours along with the Ark. The remaining Exorcists on in Edo are then attacked by a horde of Combined Akuma. Marie attacks with his Noel Organon ability while Tiedoll attacks with his Maker of Eden, Art, a gigantic white figure. Miranda tells Bookman that everyone's time is still inside her Innocence, but any new injuries they receive will not heal. Meanwhile inside the Ark, Tyki appears and Allen realizes that Tyki is the Noah that destroyed his Innocence. Tyki gives them a key to an exit door created by Road, situated at the Ark's highest point on top of a tower. The Exorcists enter a room in the tower and are confronted by the Noah, Skin Boric. Kanda recognizes Skin as the Noah targeting General Tiedoll. He tells the others to go ahead and prepares to challenge Skin by himself.
