ARC The Hell TrainTower of God: Part 2 - The Hell Train is the third part of the second volume of the Tower of God series.

It features Team Tangsooyook as they prepare to challenge the Hell Express and take down Beniamino Cassano. The story begins one month after the events of Tower of God: Part 2 - The Workshop Battle from the 191st chapter onwards.

Prologue
Leesoo and Koon briefly chatted about things and, after their conversation ended, the latter thought deeply about important matters concerning his enemies. Elsewhere Yihwa received suspicious words from Hwa Ryun that made her question whether to stay with her team whilst Beta was asked to join Ran's team in order to help them take down Cassano.

Later on, during the team's conference, Hwa Ryun explained the Hell Express to the group and also suggested that Wangnan's team split from Viole so they could gain sufficient strength for the Hell Express. Both Wangnan and Koon agreed to her suggestion, with Hwa Ryun correctly noticing why Koon agreed so calmly afterwards. Meanwhile Rachel's group were preparing something devious so they could also board the Hell Express...

Revolution Road
Yuri Zahard and Evan Edrok visited Repellista Zahard's vacation castle after the latter had called Yuri. Despite being called, Yuri was forced to subdue the suspiciously-acting Royal Guards protecting the castle before she met up with her younger sister. While Evan confronted his fellow family member about his actions, Repellista gave Yuri an Express Ticket and told her that she would board the Hell Express since the boy she was looking for would be on it in a year.

On a private train for Regulars going to Train City, Boro sat alongside his 'students' Hanool Kang and Felix. A blue-skinned Regular then arrived in their carriage, leaving his two Express Tickets on show. The Regular then attacked Boro after finding out that Boro held an Express Ticket, knocking out Felix in the process, but Boro eventually killed him. Boro then became aware that the Regular had used Emile to find out about his Express Ticket. Later, Boro went to another carriage and encountered a mysterious person who asked him if he held an Express Ticket because he was looking for people to join him in the tournament at Train City. Meanwhile, on another private train for Regulars, Ran's team re-group after ruthlessly searching for Express Tickets. Learning about the tournament being held at Train City, Ran decided that their team should join in order to get Beniamino Cassano.

After being questioned, Baam detailed to Boro, Hanool and the young lady why he was joining the tournament announced by Emile whilst Ran decided that their team would join the tournament, regardless of whether it was a trap, in order to capture Cassano. Elsewhere, a strange cloaked Regular, who is a member of Rachel's group, finished his merciless killings of the Regulars in his train carriage and sat down, eagerly waiting to arrive in Train City.

Baam was able to ally himself with Boro, and they met up with Hwa Ryun and Rak at the Hell Train's first station. Ran and his team arrived too, but decided to fight the Mirotic guardian, a device that protected the Hell Train before boarding was allowed. They were unable to defeat it, but did encounter the strange cloaked Regular from Rachel's group, Daniel Hatchid.

The mysterious tournament soon began, with the Baam/Boro team being matched up with newcomer, Ha Yura, and her team. Yura gained the advantage early on using her suitcase, which in fact contained a powerful Lighthouse. However, Baam was able to overcome her through sheer persistence (and some of the Thorn's power), forcing her to tell him the location of Rachel. Yura revealed that the tournament was a mere diversion, and that Rachel's group would be stealing the Hell Train itself while the battles went on. She then escaped, aiming to join Rachel on the train.

Rachel's group bypassed the Mirotic guardian by using the remote to turn it off and travelled to the train platform. It was revealed that they had enlisted the aid of Poro Poe, who had given them the remote along with access to the Train. However, Baam's team, along with Boro, Ran's team, and another Ticket Holder's team (Aka's) caught up with Ha Yura but had to engage the Mirotic guardian when she switched it back on.

After Baam and Hwa Ryun bypassed the guardian and briefly caught up to Yura again, Daniel Hatchid confronted Baam, whilst Boro (who also got past the guardian) fought against a swordsman recruited by Yura. Boro won his fight and saw Daniel fighting Baam, which shocked him; Daniel then fled with Baam and Boro giving chase. Another member of Rachel's group, who had just defeated and then captured Hwa Ryun, fled with Daniel, but Baam, enhanced by the Thorn, continued to give chase.

Just as Yura had arrived at the platform and Rachel's group was readying to depart, Koon Aguero Agnis arrived, along with Yeon Yihwa and Ja Wangnan, and they began fighting Rachel and Cassano. Then, Daniel and Angel appeared with Baam arriving right behind them.

Upon seeing Rachel, who acted coldly to his presence, a heavily confused Baam became enraged, causing the Thorn to go berserk. When Rachel's group then began trying to escape, Baam attacked with immense new powers eventually forcing the Mad Dog to hold him off. Although the Mad Dog was very powerful, Baam forced him back, and was on the verge of either capturing or destroying Rachel's group, now airborne, when Rachel spoke to him again, shocking him so much that he stopped his attack long enough for her to push him into freefall. As Baam was falling, Koon launched his special blade into the open Hell Train door just before Rachel's group got inside and Beta caught Baam.

Once inside the Hell Train, Rachel's group quickly came across the first set of train guardians whilst Koon and the others returned back to the stadium to sort everything out.

Hoaqin
Daniel Hatchid and his allies began their journey on board the Hell Train whilst Koon and his teammates readied to catch up to the Hell Train in order to subdue Rachel and Cassano. Afterwards, Team Tangsooyook took on the 35th Floor test and successfully passed at the cost of Baam passing out after an impressive display of power.

A month later, Team Tangsooyook take on the 36th Floor test and Baam passes out again. As the team muses on his condition, Ha Jinsung appears. Meanwhile, on the train, Rachel's group overcome a before defeating a guardian and unsealing Hoaqin's first part. As Jinsung inquires as to what happened to Baam, Hoaqin gets acquainted with the people around him. Jinsung tells Tangsooyook they shouldn't go after the train and then escorts them away. On the train, Hoaqin and Rachel's group encounter Yeon Yihwa and Ja Wangnan and capture them after a minor altercation.

While Hoaqin and Rachel's group pass the train's 36th Floor stage and Koon executes a plan that allows Team Tangsooyook to escape from Jinsung and head for the 37th Floor station.

Wooden Horse
Boro and his allies reach the 37th Floor station, Wooden Horse, and rendezvous with Aka Williams and Sachi Faker there whilst Team Tangsooyook rush to get to the station as fast as they can. Meanwhile, Rachel's group get ready to board the station.
