All watching together as Cú Chulainn and Ra-Horakhty clash, which ends with Cú Chulainn winning, a victory so surprising that Baihu, Qinglong and Xuanwu are convinced that Ra had held back, which is denied by Zhuque and pointed out by Morrígan, whose mere presence leaves Baihu stunned. Morrígan revealing that she intends to kill Cú Chulainn, even outside the Apocalypse Tournament if necessary, and that if a way is not found to counteract the Gáe Bolg Cú Chulainn will win the Tournament.
When it is time for Zhuque to fight Indra in the Round of 16, Baihu, Qinglong and Xuanwu are sent to kill Indra or at least keep him out of the ring so Zhuque can win by disqualification.
