Also, Kurenai was enraged about Draken Joe as he had taken over the Kurenai Occulus. She wanted to finish this fight faster and take her revenge and thus activated the final and the most dangerous weapon of Kurenai Dragoon, Queen Nova.
Queen Nova is a missile that never stops until it hits its target. Shiki using his gravity gear, moves in the air but cannot get rid of missiles. He then flies towards Kurenai Dragoon and stands over it. Kurenai says that it cannot be damaged by its weapons.
But, Shiki uses gravity to stop the missiles and converts their kinetic energy to gravity and thus crushes the Kurenai Dragoon using his Magimech Attack.

On the other hand, after killing Madame Kureni’s man, who cut away Valkyrie’s head, Homura returns to the labor district along with Weiz and Rebecca.
Also, Rebecca had Nino deactivate all of Kurenai’s bots, the Punishers, and thus the miners of the Labor District have won. Shiki had also tied Kurenai after defeating her and brought her to Homura so she could serve justice to her.
On seeing Madame Kurenai there, all the Miners get fired up and want to seek vengeance for Valkyrie, as well as the suffering they all went through. But on Shiki’s request, everyone agrees that Homura being the favorite disciple of Valkyrie and the daughter of Kurenai, has the most rights to deliver the judgment.
Kurenai acts to be innocent in front of Homura. But, Homura is too devastated by her loss. She asks her if she remembers anything about her. She is blank and does not remember anything.
She even forgets about the gift she gave to Homura as a child, which she had treasured all her life. Homura is in such a state that she does not even care about Kurenai anymore.

“I simply needed someone to love. To me, Valkyrie was the one I loved and needed. I harbor no anger, malice, or sympathy towards you. And so, I would prefer that you depart here without delay. I request, with all my heart that you stay entirely out of my life forever.”
Kurenai, after hearing this, runs away from there. She thinks that she has made a fool of everyone and she will rise to power again. But, she is suddenly attacked by a group of people who beat her.
She soon realizes that these are the same people she tortured. She is now their prisoner and will face the result of her actions. All this has happened in a separate location, and others are unaware of this.
Soon a new member had been elected to lead the Planet Sun Jewel towards prosperity, and Shiki, Homura along with others have returned to Edens Zero to inform the Shining Stars about Valkyrie’s death.
On Edens Zero, Shiki and the others have relayed the complete story to the Shining Stars. Hermit is full of tears, Witch is holding herself together as it seems, but Sister is devastated.

She is furious with others for not bringing back Valkyrie’s body. She argues that she could have repaired her, and all the data from the ship’s backup could have been given to her, and she will be back.
Witch and Shiki explain that this will not return Valkyrie and that she is dead. Also, Shiki relates the words of the Demon King Ziggy and says that even though she was a robot, she had a heart, and it would be disrespectful to try to bring her back as her heart and will cannot be.
Homura also explains that they did not bring back Valkyrie’s body as she symbolizes hope for the people of the planet. Homura also adds that she will become the Valkyrie and take her place as the fourth Shining star of the Edens Zero.
