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 Yura Ha 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, 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. It was revealed that they had enlisted the aid of Poro Poe, who had given them this along with access to the Train. However, Baam's team, along with Boro, Ran's team, and another ticket holder's team (Aka Williams's) caught up with them, defeating the Mirotic Guardian with the aid of Hon Akraptor, Miseng and Goseng.

Daniel Hatchid confronted Baam, while Boro fought a swordsman recruited by Yura Ha. Boro won his fight, and Baam began to overpower Hatchid when he used the Thorn. However, another member of Rachel's group captured Hwa Ryun, and began taking her up to the Hell Train. Baam, enhanced by the Thorn, gave chase.

The rest of Rachel's group was impatiently awaiting Daniel and Yura when Koon Aguero Agnis arrived, along with Yeon Yihwa and Ja Wangnan. They had ascended the elevator shaft, using Koon's lighthouse as a substitute for the destroyed elevator. They began fighting Rachel and Casano, and seemed to have the upper hand, when Baam arrived once again.

Upon seeing Rachel, who reacted coldly and angrily to his presence, Baam became enraged, causing the Thorn to go berserk. With immense new powers, he began overwhelming Rachel's team, forcing them to try to escape while the 2nd Mad Dog held 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 team, 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.
