After Zero have been struck by Setsuna's dormant Blood Blade, he observed from his ship that the Windmill of Time had finally began to turn if gradually.

At Mount Musubi, Kirinmaru's daughter Rion tells the Half-Demon Princesses Towa, Setsuna, and Moroha that he's after Akuru and their pinwheel to move the Windmill of Time that will cause the world to fall into the "Degenerate Age", the very same thing the Tree of Ages warned them about.

As Kirinmaru stands in front of the Windmill of Time, he spots Akuru in attempt to catch him. After Zero dies as seen in flowers from the ground of illusion, the Windmill of Time had finally began to turn if gradually again.
