Arc 5A Pact with the Xianzhou
After Lin Hai drove off the Corporation’s forces, its executives prepared a larger assault while he gathered allies through the Contract Lucky Star. He secured a preliminary alliance with the Xianzhou Luofu and returned to spend time with The Herta, leaving the alliance’s terms to Bronya and Seele.
- Topaz and Aventurine fled Jarilo-VI after Lin Hai demanded the Corporation seek Belobog’s permission before entering its sphere, and the Corporation ordered a report on his strength.
- Belobog celebrated Lin Hai’s victory, and Bronya, Sparkle, Seele, and The Herta each shared private moments with him as Phantylia grew curious about him.
- Aventurine’s report led the Corporation to classify Lin Hai as a peak Emanator and mobilize fleets, forbidden weapons, and specialists for Jarilo.
- Lin Hai traveled between Penacony and his own world with Kafka, whose Contract Lucky Star strengthened them both, then summoned Fu Xuan and revealed the Lucky Star’s power.
- Fu Xuan tested Lin Hai’s strength, proposed a blood alliance for the Xianzhou Luofu, and arranged a meeting with Jing Yuan, while Sparkle helped her confront her growing attraction to Lin Hai.
- Lin Hai met Jing Yuan on the Luofu and defeated him in a spar, after which they agreed to pursue an alliance between the Luofu and Belobog.
- Lin Hai named Bronya and Seele as Belobog’s representatives for negotiating the alliance, then returned to the hotel and reunited with Sparkle and The Herta.
- Lin Hai told The Herta about the preliminary alliance, and they later learned a partner dance before she chose a traditional red Xiuhe Dress that he bought for her.
