Recap

From the wiki page Soren and Centurion:

In Centuria, Tredecima became one of the main leaders of the Horde, while Soren and Centurion became defenders of the Empire.

In Tredecima’s reality, the horde led by Tredecima attacked the two towers. Warning M-4 to retreat if she saw her, Soren was surprised to see Tredecima walking into the field alone, and sent Centurion to crush her - it was however a trap by the witch, who unleashed her giant golems on the robot. Centurion fought against the enemy, breaking one of the giant’s arms but being punched away. Waking up from fainting and being saved by M-4, Soren prepared to plan but both were caught by Tredecima suddenly appearing there. Maiden 4 attempted to distract the witch, but was easily paralyzed, and Soren followed through, his attempts at contacting Centurion fruitless. Tredecima then ripped the suit off Maiden 4, planning to examine and study its and her functioning. She captured Centurion, and revealed her plan - to link the imperial towers to the World Trade Center ones with her magic, causing them all to inevitably collapse. Assured of her victory, Tredecima bid farewell to Soren.

In Soren’s canon reality, he watched a plane go through the World Trade Center with horror as he read the news about the Admiral defeating Sae. Contacted by a hiding Tredecima, she gloated he would see fall the empire towers as well and see his empire fall twice, referencing the end of the previous tournament. Tredecima marched her City Crusher towards the Capital as Crabs and citizens watched in horror, many of the citizens parallel versions of people from Soren’s world. In its destructive advance, Tredecima even killed the Janitor’s loyal buffoon, who died heroically pushing him out of danger. Citycrusher easily destroyed the barrier around the city, but as she attempted to destroy the tower and crush the alternate Ruth’s vain defiance, she was stopped right in time by Centurion. With Soren now back, he commanded Centurion to destroy Tredecima’s golem - the titan burst his enemy open and broke inside, overcoming her defenses and finishing the witch with a hammer double punch.

After the battle of Centuria ended, Monomyth and the other Empire faction Crabs were celebrated as heroes and Soren invited to stay, an offer he refused. He later took pictures with his team and was cheered up by Moses and the Admiral, who saw he looked deep in thought. Awesoman commented to him he feared the incoming opponents Adni would have to face and Soren thanked M4 for their help towards their team, who had secured first place after Round 1. Moved, Maiden 4 invited him to her 32nd birthday, much to Soren’s surprise, to which she noted she would like if he baked something for her birthday. Cassidy chimed in to explain there was a time dilation effect in CRAB, and Soren confessed seeing Centuria had made him miss his friends and world - but the girl commented it was better to accept their possible defeat given that he already had first hand experience of the possibility of losing. As he opened the door to leave, Soren found himself face to face with Tredecima, who demanded to know how he had beaten her. Maiden 4 grabbed the witch, allowing him to escape. Seeking to relax his mind, he began to photograph the wild life of Centuria, casually meeting Kome again there. They spoke of their respective rounds and Kome learned his wish, noting that it presented a life with no challenges, but Soren noted he wanted them to have challenges, just to overcome them. In the end, she still noted she did not approve of the wish or for it to be spent on other Crabs, and that in the end they would have to see which of their wills triumphed. Kome warned him to better use the time he had remaining not just moping about what he had lost, and teleported away, letting Soren sadly say thanks for the tip.

After she lost, Tredecima launched a massive yapping in her disbelief over getting owned.
