The war between Bishamon and the Heavens continues from Noragami, Vol. 17. Yato successfully defeated Takemikazuchi, but now faces an even greater threat as the plague spirit of the shinki Shiigun fills the skies with horsemen bent on destroying Bishamon and all those who oppose. Kazuma attempts to intervene to save his goddess' life, but she pushes him away. Flashback episodes explain Kazuma's desire to protect her, but ultimately Bishamon decides to save her shinki from certain death.
Confronting the Crafter, Bishamon lands a deadly blow but is also stricken down and falls back to Earth. Yato strikes at Shiigun, and sunders the Heavens. Arrested, he is summarily judged and found guilty. Yukiné is imprisoned for all eternity in a small cube, and Yato is slated for execution. Tenjin steps in and invokes the trial by pledge, in which each sides wagers three shinkis, and the side that is right sees the defeated side lose their head. Will any shinki volunteer on Yato's behalf?
Meanwhile, Hiyori is the first to find the limp form of Bishamon in the forest, but she is confronted by one of Heaven's enforcers. With lives on the line, the war among the gods is becoming deadlier still ...
