A system of a metastable phase with several sorts of heterogeneous centers is considered. An analytical theory for the process of decay in such a system has been constructed. The free energy of formation of a critical embryo is assumed to be known in the macroscopic approach. At first all asymptotic cases are investigated and then a general intermediate solution is suggested. All approximate transformations are accomplished with the corresponding numerical estimates and analytical justifications. This is the second part of the manuscript, the first part is cond-mat/0210618 .
