Xiao Ran called on the forces attacking Yajenar to stop fighting and unite against AmbriO, warning that the Creator was manipulating them to destroy Earth. Cruze urged Jill to broadcast Xiao Ran’s speech worldwide, leaving the battlefield temporarily silent as the soldiers heard his appeal.

• Xiao Ran opened a public channel and identified himself, asking the Federation, Mars Successors, Golden Alliance, and other forces to stop attacking Yajenar.
• Xiao Ran reminded the soldiers of the forces he had led and said they were fighting to protect Earth, not to make enemies of one another.

• Xiao Ran asked every side to stop fighting and consider the devastation and grief their deaths would bring to their families and the world.

• Xiao Ran’s speech made soldiers on both sides question why they were fighting, while GN Particles spread across the battlefield.

Xiao Ran abruptly crushed most of the enemy forces at Yajenar, then explained to Setsuna how he controlled the devastating attack. The battle ended, but Jill faced the problem of housing the huge number of prisoners.

• Xiao Ran's attack destroyed more than ninety percent of the enemy forces, and Yajenar personnel began rescuing survivors from the sea.
• Cruze praised Xiao Ran's strength and revealed that Jill had broadcast the battle, after which Xiao Ran ordered AmbriO's supporters purged and AmbriO killed within three days.

• Xiao Ran explained that his machine's four synchronized Solar Furnaces and his combined Innovator and Psychokinetist abilities let him control and adjust GN Particle attacks.

The chapter ended with Ange, Hilda, the Flame Dragon, the Azure Dragon, and the Jade Dragon breaking out of the hangar to attack the Founding United Nations, prompting Xiao Ran to send Luo after them.

• Xiao Ran learned from Rondo Mina that Cagalli had vanished inside the Founding United Nations, while Mina prepared Orb forces and warned that AmbriO might launch World Destruction early.
• Mina said Orb's fleet would arrive within eight hours and that Lacus, Admiral Mikoto, and Kati Manikin would provide further support, so Xiao Ran ordered an immediate decapitation operation.
• Xiao Ran assigned the Nadeshiko, Summer Flower, Akihito Tenkawa, and Cruze to head to the Outside World, with Cruze targeting the Atlantic Federation and remaining behind to stabilize the situation.

• A staff member reported that Ange, Hilda, the Flame Dragon, the Azure Dragon, and the Jade Dragon had broken out of the hangar and were heading for the Founding United Nations, so Xiao Ran ordered Luo to catch up and support them.

The Nadeshiko and Ptolemaios left Yajenar for the Founding United Nations to attack AmbriO and reach the Pillar of Dawn. They defeated the drone force intercepting them and continued toward their objectives.

• Ruri Hoshino, Miss Huang, and Jill prepared the Nadeshiko and Ptolemaios, then Miss Huang led the fleet toward the Founding United Nations.
• Jill watched the force depart and believed Xiao Ran would make AmbriO feel threatened, though she was unsure whether the mission would succeed.
• Miss Huang briefed the fleet on its objectives: reach the Pillar of Dawn, destroy the Founding United Nations' resistance, and support Ange, Sara, and the others if found.
• Kira, Gido's Gundam Squad, Shinn Asuka, and the other pilots attacked the drone force blocking their way, while Xiao Ran remotely controlled four Darkness Sky units.
• The fleet destroyed the intercepting drones in less than half an hour, and the pilots tested new techniques and improved their combat strength.

Xiao Ran and the team reached the Pillar of Dawn, where AmbriO used Ange as a human shield and invited Xiao Ran to join him. Xiao Ran rejected the offer and began looking for a chance to rescue Ange, while Luo learned that Ange had slipped away on her own.

• Miss Huang ordered Gundam Virtue, Hyaku Shiki, MK-II Gundam, F91 Gundam, and Gundam Pirates to eliminate the remaining drones and secure the withdrawal route.
• Xiao Ran led the team toward the Pillar of Dawn, but they stopped when AmbriO's army blocked their path and Ange stood beneath his black PM.
• Soji Okita and the others struggled to decide how to attack without endangering Ange, while Xiao Ran searched for a way to save her.
• AmbriO praised Xiao Ran's strength and invited him to join his side, but Xiao Ran rejected him and moved toward AmbriO's unit.
• Luo told Xiao Ran that Ange had left her mecha and run off while the group was in the Kingdom of Mithril, and Xiao Ran realized she had been captured after acting alone.
• Luo questioned Sarah about Ange's disappearance as Xiao Ran worked to create an opportunity to rescue Ange safely.

AmbriO held Ange hostage to force Xiao Ran to choose between saving her and continuing the operation, while Xiao Ran weighed how to rescue her without giving AmbriO a chance to kill her. The chapter ended with Xiao Ran rejecting AmbriO’s attempt to manipulate him and claiming AmbriO would not dare or want to pull the trigger.

• AmbriO kept Ange trapped beside HYSTERICA and challenged Xiao Ran to abandon her or sacrifice the mission.
• Shinn Asuka raged about Ange’s actions, while Lunamaria urged him to trust Xiao Ran to find a solution.
• Kira, Athrun, Setsuna, Lockon, and the others recognized that Ange was prepared to sacrifice herself and resolved not to let it be in vain.
• Xiao Ran considered the risks of rescuing Ange, including using quantumization and Teleportation, but hesitated because AmbriO could attack her.
• AmbriO moved HYSTERICA’s gun closer to Ange and threatened to fire, but Xiao Ran called his bluff and said AmbriO would not pull the trigger.
