Chapter Summaries

Honkai Beasts attacked during Kallen’s execution, and Otto arrived to rescue her. Kallen refused to flee while ordinary people remained in danger and rushed to fight the beasts, asking Chen Luo for help.

• Kallen refused to abandon the people and charged toward the Honkai Beasts.
• Kallen instinctively asked Chen Luo to help her deal with the beasts.

Chen Luo pressured the weakened Kallen into fighting the Honkai Beasts while refusing her offer to sell her soul, and secretly turned dying civilians into puppets for a promised afterlife. Otto returned after killing a Honkai Beast to save survivors, raising the threat level and leaving Chen Luo with only twenty usable notches as Kallen continued to falter.

• Chen Luo accepted Kallen’s request to protect civilians, while Kallen refused to sell her soul until his taunts drove her to offer it in exchange for his help.

• Chen Luo secretly turned civilians into puppets as they were about to die and watched Otto’s past and present selves while Kallen fought the Honkai Beasts.
• Otto returned after killing a Honkai Beast to save survivors, and Chen Luo explained that Otto’s actions had raised the threat level to thirty percent.
• Otto asked about attacking his past self, but Chen Luo warned him to disclose any plans before acting and then went to check on the exhausted Kallen.

Kallen died in an apparent sacrifice while saving a little girl, and Chen Luo revealed that he had staged the death through a clone and an illusion-like experience. He granted Kallen’s wish to see Yae Sakura and returned her consciousness to her sleeping real body, leaving Otto at her coffin.

• Chen Luo told Kallen that the hundred soul slots were full, and Kallen rushed to protect a little girl from a Honkai Beast.

• Chen Luo put Kallen to sleep so he could fulfill her wish, then time resumed and Otto mourned over what appeared to be her corpse.
• Chen Luo explained to Otto that Kallen had controlled a clone while her real body remained in a coffin, and he restored her consciousness to her sleeping body.

Chen Luo brought Otto to the past, where Otto saved Kallen, and then struck a contract to revive her after 500 years. Back at the bar, Chen Luo woke Kallen and prepared to reunite her with Otto and Yae Sakura.

• Chen Luo photographed himself with Kallen’s coffin for a check-in reward, then left Otto to keep watch over her beneath a protective barrier.
• In another moment amid the ruins, Chen Luo restored Kallen’s body and told Otto that her dispersed soul could be gathered in 500 years.

• Chen Luo told Kallen that 500 years had passed and agreed to fulfill her wish to see Yae Sakura again.

Chen Luo gave Durandal a mysterious video to deliver to Theresa, while he reflected on his growing distance from ordinary school life. Theresa received the USB drive and prepared to watch it, unaware of what surprise Chen Luo had sent.

• Chen Luo discussed school, summer homework, and his rapid growth as a Talent User with the Herrscher of Knowledge and Durandal.
• Chen Luo gave Durandal a USB drive and asked her to deliver the video to Theresa.
• Durandal brought the USB drive to Theresa, who complained about Chen Luo's strange additions to St. Freya Academy and prepared to watch the video.

Theresa confronted Chen Luo after he tricked her with an emotional video about Otto, then learned that Kallen had returned and was her grandmother. After Otto and Kallen left, Chen Luo discovered his Teleport Anchors could connect across time, though using them required enormous time energy.

• Theresa watched Chen Luo’s edited video about Otto and arrived at the bar to attack him, only to find Otto alive and meet Kallen, whom Otto identified as her grandmother.
• Kallen spoke with Theresa about Otto and her own identity, while Otto discussed giving Kallen a weapon with Chen Luo.
• Chen Luo gave Otto temporary Oath of Judah weapons and asked him to return the storage ring filled with Soulium and Honkai Crystals.
• Kallen opened the bar door again before leaving with Otto, Yae Sakura, and Theresa, resetting her entry point and severing her route back to five hundred years ago.
• Chen Luo realized his Teleport Anchors still connected to places in the past, but they were unusable without Primogems or a large supply of time energy.

Chen Luo opened several random rewards and received a set of abilities and items centered on friendship, which could help him locate, summon, manipulate, and fight his friends. He remained baffled by the rewards as he continued opening them.

• Chen Luo considered using Faith Power from the divine hearts but could not access it, then returned to the bar.
• Chen Luo drew One Sight Like Old Friends, which could add a target to his friends slots and grant them a discount.
• Chen Luo drew the Friend's Ledger, which could locate and summon recorded friends, and Friendship Face-Breaker Punch, which strengthened him against friends.
• Chen Luo drew Friends, an ability that could transfer injuries, costs, and curses onto a friend, and worried that he needed scapegoats.
• Chen Luo drew Kick the Butt Friend and Truth or Dare, leaving him convinced that his random rewards were cursed with friendship.

Chen Luo received an Angel Radar and the Herrscher of Restraint Talent, then made a separate friends list for people he could use as scapegoats. Just as he lamented that no suitable person would come to the bar, a violent stranger arrived and tried to seize him.

• Chen Luo received an Angel Radar and considered using it to check for angels in Xinghai City.
• Chen Luo obtained the Herrscher of Restraint and realized it let him suppress specific types of energy, while taking up the civilization's Herrscher slot.
• Chen Luo created a Friends (Tool People) group so he could transfer danger to its members, but could not think of anyone to add.
• A dark-skinned, silver-haired man barged into the bar, claimed it as his own, and reached for Chen Luo's collar as Yuyuko prepared to attack him.

Chen Luo beat Shira, a self-proclaimed Minister’s Son, after the man attacked him in the bar, then discovered that Shira had become his first friend and that he could transfer some damage to him. Chen Luo left the bar to test the ability, then returned to find Remilia furious because Shira’s interruption had made her lose another bullet-hell game.

• Shira threatened Chen Luo and the bar patrons, but Chen Luo broke his leg and fingers with his crowbar staff and stopped his attacks.
• Shira tried to activate his Imperial Arm, Shangri-La, but the bar’s spatial restriction blocked it, and Chen Luo briefly examined the item before returning it.
• Chen Luo spared Shira and kicked him out of the bar, then found Shira listed as his first friend at a 30% discount.
• Chen Luo tested damage transfer by striking his own hand with the crowbar, causing Shira to feel the pain, then decided to save the ability for more serious injuries.
• Remilia dragged a bar stool toward the Bar Door and demanded that Chen Luo remove the seal so she could punish Shira for interrupting her game.

Chen Luo examined Shira’s record of crimes and considered using Akame ga Kill as a new world to explore for commissions. He then watched Yvette’s revival stall and spent 3,048 Primogems to retrieve her Angel Ring, leaving her still inside her cocoon.

• Remilia nearly attacked Shira with Gungnir, but Chen Luo stopped her and Shira escaped by teleporting with Shangri-La.
• Chen Luo read Shira’s profile in the Friend’s Ledger, learned about his crimes and Teigu, and confirmed the world matched Akame ga Kill.
• Chen Luo lamented his dwindling Primogem commissions and decided to seek out new worlds, while Yakumo Yukari protested that he had let Remilia travel but not her.
• Chen Luo went upstairs and found Yvette still cocooned, despite expecting her transformation to be complete.
• Chen Luo spent 3,048 Primogems to retrieve Yvette’s Angel Ring, which could monitor her vital signs and provide defense, purification, and healing.

Chen Luo watched Yvette emerge from her cocoon as a puppet and secured her obedience while learning she still retained her memories and combative personality. After she signed a binding contract, Yvette reclaimed her Angel Ring and changed clothes, leaving Chen Luo to deal with her disrespectful attitude.

• Chen Luo took out the Angel Ring, draining the Authority from Yvette’s cocoon and allowing her to break free.
• Yvette snatched the damaged Angel Ring from Chen Luo, but returned it when he firmly commanded her to do so.
• Chen Luo confirmed that Yvette Peg had become his puppet, could connect to the Collective Network, and still remembered him and her own identity.
• Chen Luo explained that Yvette could not view the Collective Network, then made her sign a forced contract to protect against betrayal or outside coercion.
• Yvette took back her Angel Ring and said its main purpose was storing clothes before changing in front of Chen Luo.
• Yvette said she accepted her defeat and blamed her earlier loss on underestimating Chen Luo’s SS-rank Talent.

Chen Luo learned that the Angel Ring suppressed Yvette’s battle-induced fanaticism, and Yvette asked to trade everything she owned for it. Chen Luo refused to hand it over and asked what she thought he used it for.

• Chen Luo told Yvette that he had been an ordinary person when he defeated her, and teased her as she dressed.
• Yvette explained that she was a Battle Nun and the Inquisition Chief Judge, and that her War Angel Talent had made her increasingly fanatical and impulsive.
• Yvette revealed that the Angel Ring had suppressed her fanaticism while she stayed near it, and that the effect was not caused by her death or evolution.
• Chen Luo ordered Yvette to praise him, and she reluctantly called him the greatest in the world.
• Yvette asked Chen Luo for the Angel Ring and offered everything she owned in exchange, but Chen Luo pointed out that she could not refuse him anyway.

Chen Luo offered Yvette several angel tokens to help manage her Frenzy Value, and she chose a weapon he insisted was called the Sword of Light. After teasing and marking her face, he brought her downstairs, where she met the bar’s other patrons.

• Chen Luo offered Yvette the Angel Ring, but she refused to wear it until it was cleaned, so he laid out several angel tokens instead.
• Yvette chose the Wolf-tooth Club, explaining that it let her use Frenzy Value to strengthen the weapon without suffering its effects, and Chen Luo lent it to her as the Sword of Light.
• Yvette asked to meet the living angel in the bar, and Chen Luo made her follow him downstairs after drawing marks on her face.
• The Herrscher of Knowledge, Yakumo Yukari, and Yun Lian'er reacted to Yvette's appearance and teased her.
• Yakumo Yukari complained that Chen Luo had neglected her wish for years, and Chen Luo reminded her that they had known each other for only a month.

Yakumo Yukari opened the Bar Door to a swarm of bugs, then slammed it shut, cutting off the adult-sized white-haired man trapped among them. Chen Luo controlled the bugs and scolded Yukari for turning away a valuable new guest, while Patchouli examined the insects; Yukari apologized but balked at signing a contract.

• Yakumo Yukari ignored Chen Luo's warning, opened the Bar Door, and slammed it shut after seeing bugs surge toward her from a nest-like space.
• Chen Luo puppeteered the bugs that had entered the bar, while Yakumo Yukari asked him to remove their damage immunity and pretended to be frightened.
• Patchouli examined a bug and asked Chen Luo to remove her damage immunity so she could handle it.
• Chen Luo explained that Yukari had shut out an adult-sized white-haired man who might have become a valuable new guest, and Yukari apologized.
• Yukari promised not to pressure Chen Luo or cause trouble, but she hesitated when he asked her to sign a contract.

Chen Luo identified the bugs as Engraving Insects from a world of advanced magecraft and concepts, then explained the discovery to Yakumo Yukari and the others. Yakumo Yukari studied information about that world’s Root while Chen Luo prepared for a return visit and planned how to make her pay for reopening the door.

• Yakumo Yukari confronted Chen Luo after learning he could reopen the door, and Chen Luo revealed that doing so cost 200 Primogems.
• Patchouli analyzed the bugs, and Chen Luo identified them as Engraving Insects that could expand magic circuits and convert a host’s life force into magical energy.
• Chen Luo recognized the insects as belonging to a world with advanced magecraft, concept manipulation, and the Root, then gave Yakumo Yukari information about it.
• Chen Luo returned to the bar and explained the world’s magic to Yun Lian'er and Patchouli, who considered its magecraft valuable to study.
• Chen Luo planned to charge Yakumo Yukari at least 400 Primogems before letting her enter the world again.

Chen Luo accepted Patchouli’s request for a set of Magic Circuits and negotiated with Yakumo Yukari for permission to study a fragment of her Boundary Manipulation. Yukari remained wary of surrendering part of her defining ability, leaving Chen Luo’s proposal unresolved.

• Patchouli asked Chen Luo to find Magic Circuits for her to study, and he accepted the commission despite not knowing where to obtain them.
• Chen Luo told Yakumo Yukari he could summon her into the bar if she caused trouble in other worlds, and Yukari offered to fulfill a reasonable request in exchange for visiting the Type-Moon World.
• Chen Luo asked for a tiny fragment of Yukari’s Boundary Manipulation, but she refused to give up any part of her ability.
• Chen Luo privately revealed that his powers could overlap with abilities belonging to the bar’s guests, and Yukari acknowledged that he gained something when fulfilling their wishes.
• Chen Luo guaranteed that removing at most one ten-thousandth of Yukari’s ability’s prototype would cause no harm or side effects, but Yukari had not agreed.

Chen Luo agreed to help Yakumo Yukari enter the Type-Moon World and opened a Bar Door into Matou Zouken’s basement. He arrived to find the basement insects arranged in the shape of the same door, with Matou Kariya nearby.

• Chen Luo signed a contract with Yakumo Yukari to get her a suitable identity in the Type-Moon World, earning a commission.
• Mobius arrived at the bar, discussed her brief visit to the Type-Moon World, and refused to share much because of her contract.
• Yakumo Yukari urged Chen Luo to open the Bar Door, while he asked her to pay some of her ability in advance.
• Matou Zouken used his connection to the insects to gather them into the shape of the Zero Bar door and wondered who had stolen his familiars.
• Chen Luo opened a Bar Door into the basement and was startled to see the insects piled into a shape resembling the door.

Chen Luo discovered that the Type-Moon World’s Counter Force was targeting him and that the Grand Assassin, King Hassan, had appeared, forcing him to stay inside the bar. After Matou Kariya asked him to save Matou Sakura, Chen Luo accepted the commission and confronted Matou Zouken, the greatest obstacle to fulfilling it.

• Chen Luo sensed the Counter Force’s rejection when he tried to leave the bar and retreated inside.
• A distant bell warned Chen Luo that King Hassan, the Grand Assassin who could sever immortality, had arrived to target him.
• Matou Zouken sent bugs toward the bar, but they could not cross its invisible barrier, while Matou Kariya struggled to free himself.
• Chen Luo introduced himself as a traveler who fulfilled wishes and asked Matou Zouken and Matou Kariya if they had any wishes.
• Matou Kariya asked Chen Luo to save Matou Sakura, and Chen Luo accepted the commission for 600 Primogems and a random reward.
• Chen Luo stepped out with his Physics Staff and confronted Matou Zouken, who accused him of seeking the Matou family’s magecraft assets.

Chen Luo sought temporary local residency when King Hassan appeared to kill him, and the identity application made the Grand Assassin withdraw. Chen Luo then resumed his fight with Old Worm, unleashing a powerful fire spell in the basement while protecting Matou Kariya.

• Old Worm sent his insects to attack Chen Luo, but King Hassan's bell threw the insects into chaos and made Old Worm sense danger.
• Chen Luo applied for a Wandering Magus identity and received temporary identification, causing King Hassan to halt his strike and leave.
• Hassan of the Hundred Faces trembled after hearing King Hassan's Night Bell, fearing he had come to take her life.
• Chen Luo and Old Worm resumed their battle, and Chen Luo shielded Matou Kariya before invoking a remodeled Fireball Technique.
