Endymion, a young man from the planet Hyperion, is asked by the old poet Silenus to protect the girl Aenea, who emerged from the "Time Tombs," from Pax, and he reaches Earth. Four years later, Aenea decides to return to the Pax-controlled territory to fulfill her mission as humanity's savior. Endymion, who has been with her, also embarks on a new adventure... While Endymion and Aenea were leaving Earth, Pax, led by the new Pope Urban XVI, was beginning a crusade to defeat the non-Christian Auster in order to further expand its power. The AI group "Technocore," which secretly controls this, sent a terrifying pursuer to capture Aenea, who threatens Pax! What will be the fate of Aenea, and of humanity...?
