Siali holds a time column and stands within its beam, watching the events of the upcoming battle. There, in the countryside at his grandfather's house, he encounters his robotic grandfather and his robotic mother. They struggle to recognize one another. When the grandfather sees them, he mistakes them for monster spies intent on destroying them. They all agree that they are fleeing the monsters' treachery and devise a plan to eliminate them.
The monsters' time clock is far away, while the human time clock in the city center has stopped. The techies monitor the rise of artificial intelligence and its alliance with the monsters. They are racing to complete the project of the "mental giant," which surpasses the intelligence of both the monsters and the artificial intelligence. They attempt to outwit the AI and place it within the time column, burying it along with the monster world.
They search for the time column. The dwarf emerges from the beam, telling the frog about the importance of this column and how to seize it. The frog tells him that this is impossible, as it will destroy the dwarf castle and cast them into the monster world.
