Chapter Summaries

Han Jiang, Himeko, Mei, Kiana, and Bronya defeated the dark Jilin and her black warhorse, freeing the original Jilin from the darkness. As Jilin disappeared, her Stigmata power and the black Xuanyuan Sword’s energy remained, and Kiana received a prompt asking whether to absorb the Stigmata power.

• Han Jiang, Himeko, Mei, Kiana, and Bronya fought Jilin and her black warhorse, surviving the Xuanyuan Sword’s golden lightning and barrage of phantom swords.
• Jilin’s original consciousness resurfaced, leaving her unable to fight back as the group destroyed the warhorse and Himeko drove her sword into Jilin’s heart.
• Jilin thanked the group for freeing her from the darkness and said she would leave behind the power of the Stigmata to help protect the world.
• Chiyou’s Honkai Energy began to disperse, and Fu Hua watched Jilin’s defeat on the Hyperion’s recovered transmission and began to cry without understanding why.
• Jilin disappeared in a flash of light, and the black Xuanyuan Sword’s energy merged with Himeko’s sword.
• Kiana received a system prompt asking whether to absorb the power of a Stigmata.

Han Jiang and the others escaped the collapsing Chiyou after Jilin’s spirit gave Himeko an Innate Stigmata that began healing her. They encountered Xing and Anti-Entropy waiting on Chiyou’s back, and fled from the Godfather mech while buying time for the Hyperion to arrive.

• Jilin’s spirit gave Himeko the Innate Stigmata, which eased her injuries before she fainted.
• Han Jiang, Mei, Kiana, Bronya, and Himeko escaped through Chiyou’s body as it sank and began to collapse.
• The group reached Chiyou’s back, where Xing and Anti-Entropy soldiers confronted them with the gold-plated Godfather mech.
• Han Jiang and Mei stalled Xing by pretending to negotiate over the Xuanyuan Sword, then Han Jiang ordered everyone to run.
• Bronya fired at Godfather as the group fled and calculated that they needed to hold out until the Hyperion arrived.

Han Jiang and the others escaped Chiyou as Theresa ordered the Hyperion to bombard Anti-Entropy forces while sparing their position. After they recovered aboard the ship, Theresa told Han Jiang that Honkai Beasts had reached Yuezhou City and implied the group would help the local Combat Department.

• Han Jiang asked Bronya whether they could control the yellow mech, but she said they lacked the data and contact time; Theresa then told them the Hyperion was descending.
• Han Jiang asked Theresa to locate Anti-Entropy's retreat route, and she ordered a strike on their warship; Xing learned the Hyperion was attacking and ordered a retreat.
• Theresa ordered the Hyperion to fire everywhere except Himeko's group's location, allowing Xing to withdraw while Han Jiang and the others escaped the bombardment.
• After the Hyperion arrived, Theresa checked on the group, Himeko went to the infirmary, and Han Jiang fell asleep after receiving treatment.
• Theresa later told Han Jiang that displaced Honkai Beasts had caused a medium-scale tide near Yuezhou City, and he asked whether they needed to assist the local Combat Department.

After Chiyou’s death, Han Jiang and his companions were assigned to protect Yuezhou City’s energy supply area from Honkai Beasts driven ashore by the resulting tide. They reached their defensive sector and began clearing the stragglers, with Kiana eager to prove herself.

• Theresa explained that Han Jiang’s team would protect Yuezhou City’s energy reserves while she guarded the coast, and told them the mission would begin the next morning.
• Han Jiang learned that Himeko had been the Hyperion’s captain and accepted that he would need to surpass her to take the role.
• Han Jiang told Mei that the team would travel to Yuezhou City, then joined Mei, Kiana, and Bronya on a helicopter the next morning.
• The team reached the energy supply area, where Han Jiang reminded Kiana to follow the local combat department’s orders and led the group to their assigned sector.
• Han Jiang’s team began fighting the fish- and shrimp-shaped Honkai Beasts that had slipped through the coastal defenses, while stronger stragglers gave Kiana a chance to show off.

After returning to St. Freya from a week of cleanup duty in Yuezhou, Han Jiang secretly followed Joyce and overheard him discussing Liquid Soulium, Anti-Entropy, and a mysterious place. As Han Jiang slipped back to his dorm, the system detected the Sea of Quantum and began transporting him to a designated world.

• Han Jiang and his companions finished clearing Honkai Beasts in Yuezhou, returned to St. Freya, and received three days off while Himeko remained bedridden recovering from her injuries.
• After waking hungry in the early morning, Han Jiang followed Joyce from their dormitory to the academy's small forest using stealth skills.
• Han Jiang overheard Joyce tell a woman that Schicksal's Blazing Blades squad had taken Liquid Soulium from Chiyou's core and that he had helped reveal Nine Serenities to Han Jiang.
• Joyce told the woman he intended to enter a mysterious place to investigate a hidden secret, despite her warning that it could be dangerous.
• Han Jiang withdrew from the forest and returned to his dormitory, where the system detected fluctuations from the Sea of Quantum and began transporting him to a designated world.

Han Jiang was transported to a desolate world bubble, where he met Schrodinger, an Anti-Entropy executor from the main universe. They encountered tiny mechanical beings who believed humans had gone extinct, and Schrodinger began investigating the world.

• Han Jiang arrived in an unfamiliar world bubble alongside Schrodinger, and they introduced themselves to each other.
• Schrodinger explained that world bubbles had different origins and that travelers could not control their destinations.
• Han Jiang and Schrodinger discovered tiny beings emerging from the sand and considered whether they were mechanical life.
• The little beings recognized Han Jiang and Schrodinger as humans, but others dismissed them as artificial models and said humans had gone extinct ages ago.
• Schrodinger examined Chiyuan's Wing and concluded the beings were likely artificial intelligences descended from generations of successors.

Han Jiang and Schrodinger met Chiyuan's Wing, an Armed Puppet scholar who was eager to teach them about her people. She led them toward the Solar Charging Tree, where she promised to show them the Armed Puppets' city.

• Chiyuan's Wing's companions left without believing her claim that Han Jiang and Schrodinger were living humans.
• Chiyuan's Wing introduced herself as Teacher Chiyuan and explained that she studied the history of Armed Puppets.
• Chiyuan's Wing confidently invited the two humans to see the Solar Charging Tree, while Schrodinger noted that Han Jiang seemed unaffected by the world's Honkai Energy.
• Chiyuan's Wing led Han Jiang and Schrodinger to a small entrance at the base of the enormous tree and prepared to show them the city.

Han Jiang and Schrodinger toured the Armed Puppets’ city inside the Solar Charging Tree as Chiyuan's Wing explained its customs and human-era relics. The visit ended at the Armed Puppets’ temple, where Han Jiang questioned Chiyuan's Wing’s claim that she had brought humans there for the first time in tens of thousands of years.

• Chiyuan's Wing admitted that her failed experiments had caused several destructions and rebuildings of the city.
• Han Jiang and Schrodinger learned that Armed Puppets visited the House of Second Chances to remake their appearances according to trends in ancient magazines.
• Chiyuan's Wing explained that she had preserved the old Shenzhou Attire for nearly ten thousand years, and Schrodinger described how parallel worlds could develop.
• Chiyuan's Wing led Han Jiang and Schrodinger to the Armed Puppets’ temple and called it their holiest sacred ground.
• Han Jiang pointed out that Chiyuan's Wing spoke as if humans had existed throughout the tens of thousands of years she had mentioned.

Han Jiang and Schrodinger entered the Armed Puppets’ temple to solve the password riddle on an ancient computer. As Schrodinger worked, Chiyuan's Wing went to prepare them fuel- and paint-flavored tea.

• Han Jiang asked why Chiyuan's Wing was so interested in humans, and she explained that she wanted the Armed Puppets to preserve their history.
• Chiyuan's Wing invited Han Jiang and Schrodinger to enter the temple, and Han Jiang sent Schrodinger inside.
• Schrodinger linked her miniature computer to Han Jiang's Valkyrie Armor so he could share her view, and she offered to improve his equipment later.
• Chiyuan's Wing showed Schrodinger the ancient computer and asked her to solve its password riddle.
• Chiyuan's Wing left to make tea after Han Jiang requested paint flavor, while Schrodinger began cracking the password.

Schrodinger and Han Jiang watched Dr. Einstein’s records, which revealed how Mu Continent’s Armed Puppets gained freedom and how its humans eventually perished after the continent was lost to the Sea of Quantum. The recording ended by asking whether humanity could create a new living environment, and Chiyuan's Wing arrived outside the temple with drinks.

• Schrodinger cracked the artifact’s password, and Han Jiang recognized the woman in the recording as Einstein before Schrodinger explained that she came from a parallel world.
• Dr. Einstein’s recording described how the Armed Puppets developed genuine thoughts, rebelled when Honkai disappeared, and received the principle of freedom from her.
• The Ninth Herrscher attacked Mu Continent with a black hole, and Dr. Einstein transported the continent into the Sea of Quantum rather than create a habitat that could save only a few humans.
• Dr. Einstein created the Solar Charging Tree for the Armed Puppets, then recorded that humanity had left no survivors and asked whether a new living environment could be created.
• The recording ended with a prompt to delete Armed Puppet records about humanity, and Han Jiang sighed outside the temple as Chiyuan's Wing arrived with drinks.

Han Jiang and Schrodinger explored the Armed Puppets’ city, where Schrodinger destroyed the temple’s data to protect its inhabitants and modified Han Jiang’s equipment to run on Honkai Energy. Schrodinger concluded the world was incomplete and prepared to leave, while Han Jiang realized the system’s half-lit coordinate meant his journey was not over.

• Han Jiang stalled Chiyuan's Wing with conversation while Schrodinger erased the computer’s data, removed its hard drive, and destroyed it.
• Chiyuan's Wing lamented that the humans in the legends had failed to solve their own puzzle, then offered to show Han Jiang and Schrodinger around the city.
• Schrodinger modified Han Jiang’s equipment to use Honkai Energy and joked that he owed her a favor for the materials.
• Schrodinger said her exploration was finished and that she planned to leave after learning the truth of the world.
• Schrodinger explained that the world was incomplete, prompting Han Jiang to realize its half-lit system coordinate meant his journey continued elsewhere.

Han Jiang learned that leaving the Sea of Quantum would be difficult without exceptional power or a portal-opening instrument, while Schrodinger departed without helping him. He asked Chiyuan's Wing to leave her world with him, and she agreed to give him an answer the next day.

• Schrodinger explained that Han Jiang would need a portal-opening instrument or immense strength and a suitable physique to travel through the Sea of Quantum, then left the Solar Charging Tree.
• Chiyuan's Wing offered to show Han Jiang the places they had not visited, and he asked whether the Armed Puppets had ever tried to leave their world.
• Chiyuan's Wing explained that earlier generations had failed to build a Sea of Quantum portal and that most Armed Puppets no longer cared about leaving.
• She told Han Jiang that the Armed Puppets had passed through several generations, and that those who left never returned.
• Han Jiang invited Chiyuan's Wing to travel with him to his human world, and she said she would decide the next day.

Chiyuan's Wing secured permission from the Armed Puppets' council to leave the Solar Charging Tree with Han Jiang and explore the world. When Han Jiang questioned whether he could take her along, he used the system to bind her and moved her into its inventory.

• Chiyuan's Wing told the council she wanted freedom and to explore the world, and the leading puppet granted her permission to leave.
• Chiyuan's Wing packed her belongings and joined Han Jiang, but became furious when he admitted he might not be able to take her with him.
• Chiyuan's Wing explained that Armed Puppets had no genders but that girls were cute, prompting Han Jiang to protest.
• Han Jiang activated the system and bound Chiyuan's Wing, sending her and her bundle into the system inventory.
• Chiyuan's Wing attacked the inventory but could not escape, while Han Jiang told her that even a Herrscher had failed to break out.

Han Jiang’s transmission went awry, stranding him and Chiyuan's Wing in a ruined world overrun by Deadwalkers and Honkai Beasts. While they searched a Schicksal Life Insurance office for information, an unknown person surprised Han Jiang with a scythe at his neck.

• Han Jiang sent Chiyuan's Wing through the system’s warehouse and attempted to transmit to their destination.
• Han Jiang’s transmission diverted him into a ruined World Bubble, and the system reported that its energy was insufficient for another jump.
• Han Jiang brought Chiyuan's Wing out to help him explore the city and entered a lit office tower without alerting nearby monsters.
• Han Jiang and Chiyuan's Wing fought through Deadwalkers to reach the sixth-floor Schicksal Life Insurance office, where Chiyuan's Wing recorded information about Honkai.
• Han Jiang found evidence that Honkai had struck suddenly and searched online records, but an unknown person appeared and pressed a scythe to his neck.

Han Jiang and Chiyuan's Wing fought Seele until she agreed to talk, then learned that she believed they were the only living people in the world. Seele became excited when she realized Han Jiang might be able to travel through the Sea of Quantum.

• Seele ambushed Han Jiang and Chiyuan's Wing, and Han Jiang recognized her as Seele Vollerei.
• Han Jiang and Seele fought across the office while Chiyuan's Wing returned and joined the battle.
• Seele called a halt and claimed that only she and Han Jiang were still alive.
• Chiyuan's Wing flew back and corrected Seele, pointing out that three of them were alive.
• Seele asked whether Han Jiang could travel through the Sea of Quantum.

Han Jiang questioned Seele about the Sea of Quantum and learned that she had been trapped among a limited number of worlds, while Chiyuan's Wing found records showing the Honkai outbreak began twelve days earlier. Han Jiang concluded that the world was likely an artificial World Bubble with unreliable data, but his teleportation remained blocked by insufficient energy as they looked for a safe place.

• Seele asked Han Jiang whether he could travel through the Sea of Quantum, and he confirmed that he knew her identity but could not return to the main universe.
• Han Jiang sent Chiyuan's Wing to search for working computers while he asked Seele about the silent, Honkai-filled world and her travels through the Sea of Quantum.
• Chiyuan's Wing found that online activity had stopped twelve days earlier, and Seele said Flame-Moth had vanished eight days ago after fighting the Honkai.
• Han Jiang decided the world's data was unreliable because the place was probably an artificial World Bubble created by Kevin Kaslana, and he told Chiyuan's Wing to stop investigating.
• Han Jiang found that his teleportation still lacked energy, and Chiyuan's Wing asked Seele to suggest a safe place, prompting Seele to call her noisy.

Han Jiang and Chiyuan's Wing followed Seele to a safe apartment, where they spent the night after preparing for possible attacks. The next morning, Seele's gentle Main Personality cooked breakfast for Han Jiang, leaving Chiyuan's Wing stunned by the contrast with the fighter they had met the day before.

• Seele led Han Jiang and Chiyuan's Wing to a residential complex and told them to stay away from her.
• Han Jiang inspected the complex, inferred Seele could sense him from two thousand meters away, and planned escape routes in case of an attack.
• Han Jiang and Chiyuan's Wing replenished energy at a gas station, then slept safely in the apartment.
• Han Jiang woke to find Seele cooking breakfast and learned that the violent Seele from the previous day had been her Alter Ego.
• Seele served Han Jiang fried eggs and warm milk, and Chiyuan's Wing wondered aloud whether she was dreaming.

Han Jiang questioned Seele about her behavior and learned that she knew of her other personality, then warned her not to trust strangers too easily. After Seele briefly armed herself to test his advice and grew closer to him again, she left to look for gasoline for Chiyuan's Wing while Han Jiang admitted he was irritated.

• Han Jiang asked Seele what had happened, and she explained that she had woken to find him and Chiyuan's Wing in the room and had made breakfast because her other personality often caused trouble.
• Seele told Han Jiang that she knew the other personality was also herself, and Han Jiang warned her not to reveal personal information to strangers.
• Seele drew Sickle Nursery Rhyme to test Han Jiang's warning, then put it away and gained favorability with him after he clarified that he meant she should stay cautious in her heart.
• Seele asked Han Jiang his name and said she hoped to visit Shenzhou with him if she ever escaped the Sea of Quantum.
• Seele left to look for gasoline for Chiyuan's Wing, and Han Jiang told Chiyuan's Wing that he was extremely irritated.

Han Jiang struggled with the thought of leaving Seele behind in the Sea of Quantum, where she would be alone again. He chose to search the city’s control center for information about Flame-Moth before his departure.

• Seele returned with gasoline and spare clothes, and Han Jiang and Chiyuan's Wing realized how hard she had worked to help them.
• Han Jiang told Seele he might leave by the next day, and she hid her sadness by finding more chores to do.
• Han Jiang proposed gathering information about Flame-Moth to find Previous Era technology that could strengthen St. Freya.
• Han Jiang, Chiyuan's Wing, and Seele set out to find the city's control center.

Han Jiang, Seele, and Chiyuan's Wing searched for information about Flame-Moth and traveled to a hidden branch factory on the outskirts. At the factory's likely entrance, Seele recognized the residential complex and said she thought she had been there before.

• Han Jiang failed to find useful information about Flame-Moth online until Chiyuan's Wing found an independently operating factory linked to the organization.
• Han Jiang asked Chiyuan's Wing to teach him her search system, then the three of them drove toward the factory.
• Han Jiang and Chiyuan's Wing discussed how human technological progress affected Honkai and the danger of Herrscher invasions.
• The group reached a residential complex surrounded by Honkai Beasts and Deadwalkers, where Chiyuan's Wing began searching for the underground entrance.
• Seele pointed to the complex's south gate and said she thought she had been there before.
