The captured Impact Legion members debated how to negotiate a settlement with the Overlord Legion and whether to surrender Moonlight Cannon technology. After Peg spoke privately with Cruze, Basak asked Xiao Ran to let him switch positions with Cruze, who agreed.

• The bearded man, Peg, and the blue-haired men argued over the Impact Legion’s losses, the settlement, and handing over Moonlight Cannon technology.

• Peg met with Cruze and received temporary permission to leave the Burning Legion, returning several hours later.
• Basak waited outside the room holding the three other Impact Legion men, then later came to see Xiao Ran and Cruze.
• Basak asked to switch positions with Cruze, and Cruze agreed.

Xiao Ran learned that the Impact Legion had a second squad with Gedim and discussed its proposed settlement deal with Cruze. Cruze set a higher counteroffer focused on obtaining the Moonlight Cannon technology and the freedom to choose rewards, leaving Xiao Ran to consider the terms.

• Xiao Ran stopped Basak from pursuing the Impact Legion woman and warned him not to act recklessly.
• Cruze revealed that El-Elf had intercepted communications confirming the Impact Legion had split into two squads, with the other squad still alongside Gedim.
• Cruze explained that the Impact Legion wanted to settle their agreement before the mission ended because the final settlement score was uncertain.
• Cruze reported that the Impact Legion offered Moonlight Cannon technology and rewards worth twenty percent of the final settlement score, while restricting who could obtain or sell the technology.
• Cruze proposed demanding the Moonlight Cannon technology and thirty-five percent of the settlement points, with the right to choose the rewards freely.

Cruze and Xiao Ran discussed the settlement with the Impact Legion and how to keep it from resenting the Overlord Legion over the spoils. Xiao Ran weighed absorbing the Overlord Legion or making it a subordinate legion as the Burning Legion prepared to become more visible in Prometheus.

• Cruze told Xiao Ran that negotiations with the Impact Legion should secure all Moonlight Cannon technology and thirty-five percent of the final settlement score.
• Xiao Ran said the settlement was already a major gain, but worried that keeping all the spoils might anger the Overlord Legion and jeopardize his plan to bring the Impact Legion under his influence.
• Cruze argued that hiding the Burning Legion had become pointless and that it needed to build connections, intelligence sources, and supply channels with other legions.
• Xiao Ran explained that he wanted the Overlord Legion to serve as a shield for the Burning Legion, but agreed that an ordinary alliance would leave it beyond their control.
• Xiao Ran considered absorbing the Overlord Legion while retaining its name, or making it a true subordinate legion, and wondered how to present the choice to them.

Xiao Ran and Cruze planned to absorb the Overlord Legion into the Burning Legion, using the Impact Legion settlement as an opening to win Naza’s trust. Xiao Ran offered Naza the thirty-five percent settlement score, then prepared to raise the matter of the Overlord Legion’s future.

• Cruze advised Xiao Ran to make the Overlord Legion a subordinate legion and suggested speaking to Naza before the Impact Legion surrendered and the mission ended.
• Cruze said the group would leave for Earth at nine the next morning after one final day of rest, and Xiao Ran agreed that ELS would go with them.
• Naza arrived at Xiao Ran’s office drunk, and he explained the Impact Legion’s proposed compensation: Moonlight Cannon technology and thirty-five percent of the settlement score for the Burning Legion.
• Xiao Ran offered the thirty-five percent settlement score to Naza, keeping only the Moonlight Cannon, and Naza gratefully accepted.
• Xiao Ran told Naza he wanted to discuss a second matter.

Xiao Ran offered Naza a chance to bring the Overlord Legion under the Burning Legion as a subordinate legion, promising shared resources and support. After Naza signed a confidentiality agreement, he began revealing the extraordinary scale of the Burning Legion’s Faction Territory.

• Xiao Ran explained that the Overlord Legion lacked stable income and could not grow under its current management system.
• Naza acknowledged the legion’s predicament and asked Xiao Ran for a way forward.
• Xiao Ran proposed integrating the Overlord Legion into the Burning Legion as a subordinate legion while preserving its name and granting its members equal treatment, shared warehouses, Merit Points, and access to territory resources.
• Naza hesitated but felt tempted by Xiao Ran’s offer, and she signed a confidentiality agreement he sent through Prometheus.
• Xiao Ran told Naza that his Faction Territory occupied an entire galaxy with vast resources, beyond the specialties she had already encountered.

Xiao Ran revealed the Burning Legion’s five Faction Territories and its Super Zone branch to persuade Naza to make the Overlord Legion a subordinate legion. Naza accepted and confirmed the agreement, leaving her to learn the Burning Legion’s internal rules, including its mission-report system.

• Xiao Ran told Naza that the Burning Legion possessed five Faction Territories spanning Real Robot, Super Robot, and Fantasy technologies, as well as a branch legion in the Super Zone.
• After absorbing the revelation, Naza agreed to make the Overlord Legion a genuine subordinate legion of the Burning Legion.
• Xiao Ran sent Naza the subordination agreement, and she reviewed and confirmed it, making the Overlord Legion part of the Burning Legion.
• Naza examined the Burning Legion’s management and exchange rules and was puzzled by the requirement for every member to submit a mission report.
• Xiao Ran explained that senior members reviewed the reports to identify enemy pilots’ weaknesses and help members improve.

After the Overlord Legion joined the Burning Legion as a subsidiary legion, its members discovered the Burning Legion’s extensive territories and benefits. Fardes reviewed the new rules and realized the Overlord Legion had gained access to extraordinarily generous support.

• Prometheus notified the Overlord Legion members that their legion had become a subsidiary of the Burning Legion and that their permissions and rules had changed.
• The members found five Legion Territory entries on their panels but lacked permission to view their details.
• Overlord Legion members rushed to gather, review the agreement, and study the new legion rules.
• Fardes read the agreement and learned that Overlord Legion members would receive the Burning Legion’s Special Treatment and access to its territories and resources.
• Fardes discovered that the Burning Legion offered subsidies for Ejection Devices and access to exclusive or customized mecha services.

The Overlord Legion joined the Burning Legion as a subsidiary legion, gaining access to its extensive resources while keeping its own structure. Fardes and Naza then faced the strict rules and battle-report requirements that came with membership.

• Fardes admired the Burning Legion’s generous benefits and warned himself to explain its strict rules, lifelong membership, confidentiality, and contribution requirements to the Overlord Legion.
• Fardes gathered the Overlord Legion members, taught them the Burning Legion’s rules, and began instructing them to submit battle reports after every mission.
• The Overlord Legion accepted its new subsidiary status without objections after learning about the benefits and the decision to preserve its organizational structure.
• The Overlord Legion members struggled with the requirement to write post-mission essays, and Naza wondered how to describe her combat actions in detail.

The Victory Fleet returned to Earth after about ten days, carrying the Impact Legion’s pilots and accompanied by a vast ELS swarm. The fleet found three Earths linked by enormous spatial rifts, and Xiao Ran ordered everyone to approach so they could use the Cosmic Restoration System.

• Xiao Ran took the Impact Legion’s pilots aboard one stripped warship and left their other equipment in Gamillas.
• The Victory Fleet hurried back toward Earth using Boson Jumps and Space Gate transits.
• The fleet arrived to find three Earths from different worlds arranged in a triangle and connected by massive spatial rifts.
• Tessa, Bright, Miss Huang, Ruri Hoshino, and Juzo Okita reacted with alarm to the Earths’ near-collapse.
• Xiao Ran ordered the fleet to approach Earth and prepare to use the Cosmic Restoration System.

With the three Earths unreachable as dimensional distortion gradually faded, Xiao Ran ordered the fleet to prepare the Cosmic Restoration System and enter battle readiness. Sanada warned that the system might rely on one person's memories, leaving Xiao Ran fearing his intervention had endangered the restoration of all three Earths, just as an enemy attack began.

• Juzo Okita raised morale by insisting that the Cosmic Restoration System could restore the three Earths, and Sanada explained that lingering dimensional distortion likely prevented contact and might take another week or two to disappear.
• Xiao Ran told the fleet to proceed with the restoration plan and ordered first-level battle readiness, with all pilots prepared to sortie.
• After the main communication ended, Sanada privately told Xiao Ran and Juzo Okita that the Cosmic Restoration System might be alive and use someone's memories to restore Earth.
• Sanada speculated that if the system held only the memories of one Earth, it might restore only that Earth, and Xiao Ran feared his intervention had changed which memories the system would use.
• An alarm sounded on the bridge, and Xiao Ran learned that an enemy attack had begun.

Xiao Ran led the Victory Fleet into battle after the Mycenaean Gods and Hydra blocked their route. He deployed Dawn in its Tactical Armor form and charged the enemy, with Naza and the other pilots following.

• The Mycenaean Gods and a swarm of Hydra appeared in the Victory Fleet’s path, interrupting Xiao Ran’s thoughts about the Universe Restoration System.
• Xiao Ran ordered everyone to sortie and abandoned the idea of firing the Dimension Devourer because it might worsen the instability around the three Earths.
• The Victory Fleet launched its forces, while the noncombatant Impact Legion members fled under escort.
• A Mycenaean God threatened to destroy the humans in revenge for Lord Hades, and Xiao Ran’s Quantum Assimilation had finished cooling down.
• Xiao Ran combined Dawn with its Tactical Armor and charged the Mycenaean Gods as Naza and the other pilots launched their attack.

Xiao Ran led the Victory Fleet’s assault on the Mycenaean Gods, while Naza and the Impact Legion pilots helped destroy most of their forces. Xiao Ran then engaged the Dark General, and the fleet’s pilots charged after him.

• Xiao Ran drove the Dawn Tactical Armor through the Hydras and attacked the Dark General, while Naza cut through the creatures with her Whip Sword.
• The four Impact Legion pilots fired their Moonlight Cannons, wiping out the Hydras and vaporizing several Mycenaean Gods.
• After earning Merit Points from the attack, the four Impact Legion pilots charged the remaining Mycenaean Gods to gain more rewards.
• The Victory Fleet’s pilots followed the Impact Legion into battle as Xiao Ran exchanged blows with the Dark General.
• Xiao Ran attacked the Dark General with a barrage of GN Dragoon beams, satellite missiles, and a colossal crystal drill formed from his Beam Sabers.

Xiao Ran used the Dawn Tactical Armor to create a colossal crystal drill and launch it at the Dark General. The drill shattered into countless blue-coated fragments that homed in on and engulfed the Dark General in explosions, leaving him screaming inside green smoke.

• Dawn equipped the Tactical Armor and formed a massive green crystal drill from its energy.
• The Dark General met the drill with his flaming sword and laughed as cracks spread across it.
• Xiao Ran activated a blue light around the drill, causing it to shatter before the Dark General could cut through it.
• The crystal fragments flew toward the Dark General and exploded against him in overwhelming numbers.
• The Dark General was swallowed by green smoke as his arrogant laughter gave way to screams.

Xiao Ran annihilated Dark General and the Mycenaean Gods, then returned to the Yamato to summon several pilots. As he prepared to deal with what came next, he sensed another threat and finally showed genuine fury.

• Xiao Ran used crystal fragments, a drill, and MED Micro Missiles to destroy Dark General before escaping the surrounding attacks in a quantum state.
• Xiao Ran dismissed the Mycenaean Gods as trash, and the other pilots quickly wiped out the remaining enemies.
• Xiao Ran left the ELS untouched, flew to the fleet, disengaged from the Tactical Armor, and headed for the Yamato.
• Xiao Ran asked Mwu to summon Luo, Saki, Renard, Cruze, and Tieria to the Yamato.
• Xiao Ran sensed something in the opposite direction from where the Mycenaean Gods had appeared and angrily exclaimed that it would never end.

Xiao Ran sensed a strange energy that repelled GN Particles, and Dark Nova appeared with Eggef’s mechanical forces. Dark Nova revealed that he was a higher-dimensional being who had arranged the destruction of the three Earths as a game, leaving the heroes to confront the truth about their enemy.

• Xiao Ran detected a spreading crimson energy that pushed away GN Particles and recognized it as unlike any force he had encountered before.
• A Space Fortress and hundreds of machines belonging to Eggef’s forces appeared, glowing with the same black-and-purple energy.
• Dark Nova appeared as a huge phantom, and Mai, Banjou, and Ryoma Nagare recognized him as the huge evil they had sensed.
• Dark Nova said he had engineered the heroes’ journey between the three worlds and the Earths’ destruction for his amusement.
• Dark Nova identified himself as a higher-dimensional being and claimed that AmbriO and the events of the world had been under his control.
• Setsuna questioned whether AmbriO had truly ruled the Western Calendar World, while Tieria wondered if Dark Nova was the enemy Aeolia had sought to fight.

Dark Nova revealed that it had engineered wars as a game and singled out Mai Senpuuji as its intended hero, while describing Xiao Ran as the unexpected force that repeatedly disrupted its plans. Xiao Ran rejected Dark Nova’s claims of control, called it an idiot, and charged at it in the Dawn Tactical Armor using Quantum Assimilation.

• Dark Nova said it had orchestrated conflicts among the Coordinators, Jovian Lizards, A-LAWS, Mars Successors, Golden Alliance, Mega-Borgs, Gaizok, and AmbriO for entertainment.
• Kappei realized that their wars had been treated as a game, and Akihito Tenkawa accused Dark Nova of causing what happened to Yurika.
• Dark Nova explained that it had tried to shape Akihito Tenkawa and Banjo Haran into heroes, but considered Mai Senpuuji the only person who fit its ideal.
• Dark Nova described Xiao Ran as an unplanned figure who had repeatedly ended its War Games, then declared that the heroes would fall before evil.
• Xiao Ran called Dark Nova an idiot and challenged its claims of power and control over worlds beyond the Western Calendar World.
• Xiao Ran piloted the Dawn Tactical Armor toward Dark Nova and activated Quantum Assimilation, preparing to face it as a formidable enemy.

Xiao Ran led the Victory Fleet in an assault on Dark Nova's Space Fortress, testing its defenses while contending with a field that repelled GN Particles. He evaded the fortress's first attack and continued closing in, suspecting Dark Nova was inside its red-lit spire.

• Xiao Ran assessed how Dark Nova's GN Particle-repelling field limited his abilities but concluded that his other powers left him with most of his combat strength.
• Xiao Ran's Dawn Tactical Armor charged the Space Fortress and fired two massive beams, prompting the Victory Fleet to attack from every direction.
• About twenty robots intercepted Dawn's beams, but the attack destroyed them before a purple-black barrier on the fortress blocked the remaining blast.
• The Space Fortress unleashed a wide-area attack of shockwaves, red energy lines, and blade-like objects, while its light-covered robots remained unaffected.
• Xiao Ran sent the GN Dragoons into the attack to probe its nature, then maneuvered Dawn through the incoming blades and energy lines as he advanced toward the fortress.

Xiao Ran discovered that Dark Nova's defenses and attacks used shockwaves to repel GN Particles, then unleashed the Dawn Tactical Armor's GN Particles against the Space Fortress. Naza, Ryoma Nagare, Kouji Kabuto, Tetsuya, and the ELS also joined the assault, while many Victory Fleet pilots were pushed out of the fight.

• Xiao Ran led the Dawn Tactical Armor through the Space Fortress's attacks and used the GN Dragoons to probe its shockwaves.
• Xiao Ran realized that Dark Nova's shockwaves pushed GN Particles away and formed the fortress's apparent defensive barrier.
• Xiao Ran made the Dawn Tactical Armor release GN Particles at higher frequency and controlled them to reach toward the Space Fortress.
• Xiao Ran drove the Dawn through the strengthened shockwaves and attacks as it closed in on the fortress.
• Naza, Ryoma Nagare, Kouji Kabuto, Tetsuya, and their allies broke through Dark Nova's robot line and launched an assault.
• The ELS joined the attack, swarming toward Dark Nova and forcing the slower Victory Fleet members out of the battlefield.

The ELS ignored Dark Nova’s Demon Aura and devoured his robots, then fused with Xiao Ran’s Dawn Tactical Armor. Xiao Ran used the gigantic silver Dawn to cut through the Space Fortress’s defenses and strike its spire.

• The ELS overwhelmed and destroyed Dark Nova’s robots, then surrounded Dark Nova.
• Dark Nova discovered that the ELS could ignore his Demon Aura, while Xiao Ran watched them devour one of the robots.
• Xiao Ran mocked Dark Nova and guided the ELS to fuse with Dawn Tactical Armor, forming a silver Dawn roughly three hundred meters tall.
• Xiao Ran charged the Space Fortress with the transformed Dawn and struck its spire, carving a long gash across the fortress.

Xiao Ran destroyed Dark Nova and the Space Fortress with a telekinetic strike empowered by the ELS, while Sanada explained that Dark Nova was an awakened system rather than a god. After the battle, Sanada revealed that he and others had secretly prepared for Dark Nova’s arrival, leaving Xiao Ran to realize his nearly exhausting final attack may have been unnecessary.

• Xiao Ran used the ELS and his telekinesis to split the Space Fortress and defeat Dark Nova.
• Sanada explained that Dark Nova was a simulation system unable to account for humanity’s infinite possibilities.
• The Space Fortress exploded and vanished, and Xiao Ran thanked the ELS before the true Dawn emerged from its liquid silver shell.
• Sanada revealed that he, Nine, Minerva X, and Banjou had secretly prepared for Dark Nova while Xiao Ran was unconscious on Iskandar.
• Xiao Ran accepted Sanada’s preparations but realized he had nearly exhausted his Mental Power and Spirit Burning for an attack that may not have been needed.

After Dark Nova’s defeat, Xiao Ran and the others discovered that the Universe Restoration System had activated by itself, threatening an irreversible disaster. Xiao Ran used his Innovator power to bring everyone into a Mental Communication Space, where Juzo Okita recognized an illusory figure as Kodai.

• The Victory Fleet returned to the Yamato after Xiao Ran and ELS defeated Dark Nova, and Juzo Okita ordered the units to prepare for the Universe Restoration System’s use.
• Xiao Ran, Saki, Tieria, Luo, Renard, and the others entered the system room and found the Universe Restoration System already operating.
• Juzo Okita and Xiao Ran feared the system had activated on its own and could cause an irreversible disaster, so Xiao Ran explained Sanada’s findings to the group.
• Puru appeared and confirmed that a human soul was near the system, and she relayed that the soul could control it but did not know whether their suspicions were correct.
• Xiao Ran returned to Dawn, released GN Particles across the Yamato, and drew everyone in the room into a Mental Communication Space.
• Juzo Okita saw an illusory figure appear and asked whether it was Kodai.

Kodai Mamoru revealed that the Cosmic Restoration System would use his soul to rewind time and restore all three Earths. Juzo Okita brought Kodai Susumu into the Mental Communication Space so the brothers could speak, but Xiao Ran suddenly expelled everyone when another incident occurred outside.

• Kodai Mamoru appeared in the Mental Communication Space and agreed to explain the Cosmic Restoration System, asking to speak with Kodai Susumu afterward.
• Kodai Mamoru confirmed that the system used his soul as fuel and could rewind time to restore Earth and potentially all three Earths.
• Sanada questioned whether there was another way to save Kodai Mamoru, but Kodai Mamoru said he had already resolved to sacrifice himself.
• Juzo Okita brought Kodai Susumu into the Mental Communication Space, where Susumu recognized his supposedly dead brother.
• Xiao Ran expelled everyone from the Mental Communication Space after something happened outside.

Xiao Ran kept the Kodai brothers’ reunion undisturbed while the Victory Fleet prepared to meet an approaching Gedim warship. When a Gedim android infiltrated the Yamato and targeted the Universe Restoration System, Xiao Ran destroyed it, while identical androids appeared aboard the Nadeshiko and Burning Legion.

• Xiao Ran learned that a single Gedim warship was approaching and told Mwu to prepare the fleet and question the Impact Legion members.
• Xiao Ran remained aboard the Yamato because he was recovering his Mental Power and needed to guide Kodai Mamoru through sharing information safely.
• Kodai Susumu and Kodai Mamoru spoke at length in the Mental Communication Space while Xiao Ran shielded them from outside interruptions.
• Xiao Ran sensed a female Gedim android appear aboard the Yamato and head toward the Universe Restoration System room.
• The android identified Xiao Ran as an obstacle and raised a weapon, but Xiao Ran appeared behind her and tore off her head.
• Identical Gedim androids appeared aboard the Nadeshiko and Burning Legion, with the latter’s android appearing before Sheryl.

Gedim bionic robots infiltrated the Nadeshiko and the Burning Legion to gather information, including Boson Jump technology and Sheryl’s unusual singing power. As the fleets responded to the infiltrations, Xiao Ran began showing Kodai Mamoru the other Earths, while Sheryl confronted the robot in her room.

• A Gedim bionic robot appeared on the Nadeshiko, announced that it had collected Boson Jump and A-class jumper data, and was shot down by the crew.
• Ruri Hoshino realized Gedim’s objective was Boson Jump technology.
• Sheryl found a bionic robot in her room and quietly activated her alarm; Billy and Moses rushed to her aid as Mwu ordered the Burning Legion sealed and its defenses mobilized.
• The other warships learned that the Nadeshiko and Burning Legion had been infiltrated, and the Yamato reported that Xiao Ran had destroyed its robot.
• Xiao Ran ended Kodai Mamoru and Kodai Susumu’s conversation, then began showing Mamoru the other Earths.
• The robot scanned Sheryl and said it needed information about her singing, prompting Sheryl to slap it in anger.

Sheryl destroyed a robot spying on her while the Victory Fleet confronted Gedim and learned that its technology could open a passage through time. A fleet of Gedim warships from the past emerged, and its leader began hearing a report from the bionic robot Alvords.

• Sheryl furiously stomped on the robot that had photographed her, and Moses and Billy secured her room and ordered a full inspection.
• The pilots learned that Nine was Gedim’s former Nifaline system core and that Gedim had replaced it with technology obtained from Iskandar and the Nadeshiko.
• The Gedim warship used Boson energy and the Universe Restoration System to open a passage through time.
• Sanada, Hayato, and the others deduced that the passage was summoning Gedim’s fleet from the past, and Amuro urged the pilots to prepare for battle.
• A large fleet of black Gedim warships emerged, and its blond-haired leader asked Alvords what had happened before listening to the robot’s report.
