Azrael repents and asks the Crusader to put a force-field around Fireball, saving the city although Fireball still dies. They convince Azrael to use the swords on himself, and he sees that his actions are not righteous as Ra's al Ghul has been manipulating him the entire time. Batman fails to reason with Azrael as well, but Catwoman arrives with Jenny Lane and her kids to talk to him. It's revealed that Dick has repressed a childhood memory where he allowed an older boy to be beaten within an inch of his life and did nothing because he did not like the boy. Batman is the final hero to be tested by the Angels, and they challenge him for his wound by the Sword of Sin. Catwoman angrily refuses and insists that they are unreasonable zealots when she tries to argue with them, failing her test as well. He asks her to sacrifice Magdalene in the name of God, which the devout Magdalene has willingly agreed to. Azrael stabs her with the Sword of Salvation to see her sins and explains that she must atone for ruining her sister's life. When she hunts down the Crusader he is setting fire to the orphanage she resided in with her sister as a child. Catwoman attempts to interrogate Jenny Lane but Jenny does not believe her that Michael could be responsible for the destruction. Catwoman is put to the test next, and her sister Magdalene Kyle arrives to help Azrael and Crusader. The Sword of Sin proves that he is pure of heart, but he still does not pass their test as Drake is unable to truthfully say that he believes in God. Red Robin finally arrives at the ending and stops Azrael from killing Mayor Hady.
Drake uses MoneySpider to help him investigate the situation through Jenny Lane while Crusader taunts him. Red Robin is the first hero that the Angels of Death test, putting him through a gauntlet to save lives across the city. Elsewhere Ra's al Ghul and Hans Gerlicht prepare the last of their Angels of Death, with plans to destroy Gotham using Fireball as a living bomb. He explains that they will burn the city to the ground unless Batman can find one truly righteous man in Gotham within the next 24 hours. Azrael arrives and stops Crusader from killing Batman, but refuses to stop him from razing the city. When the Crusader begins destroying Devil's Square, Batman rushes to stop him alongside Catwoman and Red Robin. Batman struggles with the scar he received from Azrael stabbing him with the Sword of Sin, although it's only supposed to hurt the guilty.
