Sora and his friends pass through the graveyard on their way up the tower, but are forced to enter two of the stele portals to put an end to [[Luxord]] and Saïx in order to open the way to Xemnas. {{nihongo|'''{{a|Havoc's Divide}}'''|混沌の狭間|Konton no Hazama}} is an area favored by Luxord, and where he meets his end. The area is sloped and leads to a steep drop downwards. The top of the area can be partially seen later on from Naught's Approach. {{nihongo|'''{{a|Addled Impasse}}'''|惑わしの空間|Madowashi no Kūkan|lit.

Invisible paths can be used to reach each platform and eventually navigate to the other side. The room is filled with swirling red and blue smoke, with some collecting in a spiral at the top of the chamber. There are numerous windows at the sides of the room.

The {{nihongo|'''{{a|Altar of Naught}}'''|虚空の祭壇|Kokū no Saidan|lit. "Altar of Empty Space"}} is a giant tower at the peak of the castle, with Kingdom Hearts radiating in front of it.
The {{nihongo|'''{{a|Altar of Naught}}'''|虚空の祭壇|Kokū no Saidan|lit. "Altar of Empty Space"}} is a giant tower that is high above the rest of the castle. Hidden off the side is a [[Sidecar Glider|glider]]. Xemnas often comes here to commune with Kingdom Hearts or present it to the other members. After [[Sora]] and his friends confront Xemnas here and he retreats into this Kingdom Hearts, the worlds create a doorway leading within so that Sora and his friends to follow him. The tower later collapses after Xemnas's Dragon Form collides into its side.

{{nihongo|'''{{a|Memory's Contortion}}'''|記憶の歪み|Kioku no Yugami}} is a strange, wavering illusion of the [[Memory's Skyscraper]] that Xemnas draws Sora into for a battle. As it is an illusion, Sora cannot "return" here, but a simulation of it can be found within the [[Garden of Assemblage]].

The seats are arranged in a circle with Xemnas at the prominent seat. At Xemnas's left are the odd numbered members, and to his right are the even numbered members, increasing in numerical value up until number thirteen, Roxas's seat.<!---, which is directly opposite Xemnas's. this isn't possible with an odd number--> The "fourteenth member", Xion, has no throne as she was neither a true member nor even a real Nobody, but a replica meant to absorb Roxas so she would gain his powers, thus the reason for the group's name remaining as "Organization XIII".
[[File:In the Writhing City 01 KHII.png|thumb|225px|right|Sora and the others standing in the door leading to The World of Nothing.]]
After Xemnas's defeat he flees into Kingdom Hearts. However, a door appears which leads Sora and his friends inside Kingdom Hearts to "The World of Nothing". The first they arrive at is  called '''{{a|The World of Nothing—End's Beginning}}''', which is a passageway resembling the Dark City where skyscrapers suddenly erupt from the ground in order to repel Sora. A strange black-and-white tunnel leads from this room to a platform looking out on the gigantic Nobody that Xemnas is riding<!--what is this room named?-->. From there, Sora can ascend the falling skyscrapers eventually leading him to the dragon Nobody's massive cannons at '''{{a|The World of Nothing—Twin Cannons}}'''. Once he destroys those, Sora swings his way up to the ship's Energy Core, which is kept in a room appropriately named '''{{a|The World of Nothing—Energy Core}}'''. After disabling the ship's energy core, he makes it up to '''{{a|The World of Nothing—Xemnas's Throne Room}}''', where Xemnas sits in his [[Keyblade Armor]], enthroned in chamber atop the dragon Nobody's head, equipped with several of the deceased Organization members' weapons.

After completely destroying the gigantic Nobody, Sora and Riku find themselves inside {{nihongo|'''{{a|The World of Nothing}}'''|虚無の世界|Kyomu no Sekai}}, a nearly-empty void of shifting greys and whites where Xemnas makes his last attempt to destroy them.

During his battle with Xemnas, Sora was pulled into an area that included Memory's Skyscraper, called [[Memory's Contortion]], in a battle similar to the one Roxas and Riku had.
