Chapter Summaries

Xiao Ran left the Dragon Kingdom with Sarah, Ange, Naja, and Kaname to investigate the Victory Fleet after learning what it needed to travel between worlds. He reached the Burning Legion near Tokyo-3, where the fleet had detected their arrival.

• Xiao Ran questioned Sarah about the Victory Fleet, and she explained that interworld travel required technology to create dimensional distortion and a stable singularity waveform.
• Xiao Ran concluded that the Victory Fleet could solve its remaining problem and ordered Sarah to take them there; she insisted on coming along to see how he would deal with AmbriO.
• Sarah, Naja, and Kaname piloted their dragon-built PMs out of the Dragon Kingdom with Xiao Ran and Ange aboard.
• Xiao Ran piloted Kaname's Jade Dragon alone while Kaname rode with Naja, and the group reached Tokyo-3 in less than twenty minutes.
• The Victory Fleet raised an alarm when it detected the three PMs, then its units returned, and Xiao Ran entered the Burning Legion.

Xiao Ran summoned the Victory Fleet and announced an operation to destroy the Founding United Nations, defeat AmbriO, and rescue the Dragon God Aura. He split the fleet between the Western Calendar World and the defense of their current world, ordering the remaining fighters to train and confront forces he suspected AmbriO had manipulated.

• Xiao Ran returned to the Burning Legion and called the Victory Fleet to an emergency assembly, where his fury at AmbriO made the conference room fall silent.
• Soji Okita warned Ryoma Nagare and the others to stay quiet, and they stopped Sousuke Sagara from noisily entering the conference room.

• Xiao Ran ordered Graham and Nalo to remain behind and directed the other forces to defend their world, train intensely, and fight Zeon and the Federation, which he suspected AmbriO had influenced.

Xiao Ran urged the Victory Fleet to stop reacting passively, strengthen itself, and secure Earth before traveling to Iskandar, while warning that AmbriO and a greater hidden evil threatened the three worlds. Juzo Okita agreed to lead the forces remaining behind, gather intelligence on the Federation and Zeon, and make ending their war the ultimate objective.

• Xiao Ran explained that AmbriO planned to destroy three worlds, create a new one, and free Dragon God Aura, prompting the commanders to agree that he had to be stopped.
• Juzo Okita, Miss Huang, and Bright questioned whether the Victory Fleet should confront both the Federation and Zeon while facing other threats.

After returning to the Western Calendar World, Xiao Ran ordered allied forces to prepare for a swift assault on AmbriO and its supporters. As Yajenar mobilized, unidentified enemies appeared nearby, setting up an immediate battle.

• The Nadeshiko confirmed its return to the Western Calendar World, and Xiao Ran thanked Akihito Tenkawa for helping test interworld travel.
• Ruri Hoshino set course for Yajenar and prepared to warn Commander Jill about a possible AmbriO attack.
• Xiao Ran ordered Orb, PLANT, Admiral Mikoto, and Kati Manikin's forces to enter emergency readiness, declaring that he would eliminate AmbriO and its supporters within three days.
• Cruze recognized Xiao Ran's orders as deliberate and directed Jill to relay them, while remarking that AmbriO had provoked a formidable opponent.
• An alarm announced that unidentified targets were approaching Yajenar, and Jill ordered the knights to prepare for battle and requested support from the Nadeshiko.

After Yajenar reported an imminent attack by a large enemy force, Xiao Ran sent the mobile suits ahead while he stayed aboard the Nadeshiko. He watched the battle begin as a coalition of several factions attacked Yajenar, whose defenders were reinforced by Kira, Setsuna, and the others.

• Yajenar reported that a large enemy formation was approaching and requested support, but the Nadeshiko and Ptolemaios could not arrive in time.
• Xiao Ran ordered all fast mobile suits to deploy ahead of the ships while he remained on the Nadeshiko.
• Xiao Ran activated the Darkness Sky units in the hangar and watched a live feed of the battlefield.
• Xiao Ran identified forces from the Mars Successors, the Golden Alliance, Amalgam, the Federation, and the Founding United Nations among the attackers.
• Kira, Setsuna, and the other arriving pilots helped defend Yajenar by destroying incoming missiles, while Cruze's machine held the final defensive line.

Xiao Ran launched Dawn and four Darkness Sky units to support the battle at Yajenar, while Ruri Hoshino concluded that the Federation’s alliance with the Mars Successors proved Xiao Ran’s warnings right. The enemy attack continued as Xiao Ran unleashed a coordinated barrage against dozens of incoming units.

• Ruri Hoshino watched the Federation, Mars Successors, and Golden Alliance forces attack Yajenar together and abandoned her doubts about Xiao Ran’s plans.
• Ruri Hoshino considered using Akito’s Boson Jump tactics and Miss Huang’s intelligence work to target key opponents before the Federation could respond.
• Xiao Ran told Haro he was launching, then flew Dawn and four Darkness Sky units out of the hangar.
• Kira, Athrun, and their allies continued defending Yajenar against the overwhelming enemy forces.
• Xiao Ran used his abilities to coordinate Dawn and the four Darkness Sky units, which unleashed a dense Beam Rain at dozens of enemy units.

Xiao Ran used four Darkness Skies to annihilate an enemy formation and protect the Nadeshiko and Ptolemaios, but the United Forces dispersed to encircle Yajenar and exploited the Victory Fleet’s weak underwater defenses. Recognizing the attackers as an elite force deliberately assembled for this battle, Xiao Ran suspected AmbriO wanted humanity’s strongest forces to destroy one another.

• Xiao Ran unleashed the combined firepower of four Darkness Skies, destroying dozens of enemy machines in a single barrage.
• The enemy commander ordered the remaining forces to scatter and maneuver toward encircling Yajenar.
• The United Forces attacked from beneath the sea, where the Victory Fleet had few machines capable of fighting effectively.
• Luo sent his machine underwater to help resist the enemy’s assault.
• Xiao Ran recognized the United Forces as a skilled elite army and suspected AmbriO had arranged the battle to make humanity’s forces fight each other.

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.
• Cruze asked Jill to record Xiao Ran’s appeal and broadcast it through Yajenar’s communications to Orb, PLANT, and the Outside World.
• Xiao Ran warned that the Creator had controlled the Founding United Nations, the Atlantic Federation, and the attacking forces to eliminate those who could oppose Earth’s destruction.
• 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 words and GN Particles shook the battlefield, prompting the Golden Alliance to flee and leaving the United Forces’ ranks wavering. When their commander ordered another attack, Xiao Ran began gathering power in Dawn to end the battle himself.

• Xiao Ran’s speech made soldiers on both sides question why they were fighting, while GN Particles spread across the battlefield.
• Wolf Gang, Katerinu, and General Mifune decided to retreat, and the Golden Alliance scattered in every direction.
• The Golden Alliance’s flight weakened the United Forces’ morale, but their commander urged the troops to attack Yajenar and destroy the island.
• Xiao Ran decided to stop the battle and sent Dawn into the sky, joining its weapons and gathering GN Particles at the crystal on its chest.
• The United Forces charged toward Dawn on their commander’s orders just as a sudden light spread across the world.

Xiao Ran unleashed a vast attack across Yajenar, terrifying everyone who witnessed it. Setsuna revealed that Xiao Ran had spared those who were unwilling to fight, and the others prepared to rescue them and confront AmbriO.

• Xiao Ran filled the battlefield with beams of light that destroyed enemy forces and sent others crashing into the sea.
• Setsuna sensed the fear of the attacked forces through the GN Particles and recognized the power behind Xiao Ran's assault.
• Setsuna explained that Xiao Ran had extinguished the spirits of only AmbriO's steadfast supporters, while sparing those who had hesitated or wanted to stop fighting.
• Kira, Athrun, and Shinn resolved to rescue the survivors and fight AmbriO.
• Jill watched the motionless Dawn and concluded that Xiao Ran was a godlike force capable of challenging AmbriO.

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.
• Setsuna arrived and asked how Xiao Ran had precisely struck vital targets with such a powerful, dispersed attack.
• 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.
• Jill struggled to find space and resources to detain the many prisoners rescued from the battle.

Xiao Ran coordinated the response to the escalating crisis, ordering a decapitation operation against the Founding United Nations and the Atlantic Federation while arranging support and supplies. 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.
• Xiao Ran told Jill to settle the prisoners on an isolated island near Yajenar and asked Orb to bring supplies for them.
• 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.

Xiao Ran exposed AmbriO’s weaknesses and provoked him into a fury, but Renard arrived and turned his power on AmbriO. Renard’s attack crushed AmbriO’s cockpit, killing him.

• Xiao Ran taunted AmbriO, arguing that his powers could not sway the Victory Fleet and that AmbriO’s plan would fail.
• AmbriO raged at Xiao Ran and moved to kill Ange, while the Ptolemaios crew reacted with disgust to Xiao Ran’s insults.
• Renard appeared and rebuked AmbriO for letting his anger make him useless.
• Renard attacked AmbriO’s machine with a burst of power, crushing its cockpit and killing him.

Renard revealed his Iron Fallen Angel, saved Ange, and joined Xiao Ran as Amalgam turned against AmbriO. Basak destroyed the Pillar of Dawn and went berserk on the battlefield, leaving Luo to face his rampage.

• Renard used his Iron Fallen Angel to destroy AmbriO’s Black Mecha and rescue Ange.
• Amalgam forces opened fire on their former allies, and Xiao Ran joined Renard on the battlefield.
• Renard said he had finished investigating AmbriO and that the organization would be destroyed that day.
• Basak emerged from the collapsing Pillar of Dawn, which he had destroyed, and charged into the battlefield in a frenzy.
• Luo answered Basak’s call, and Basak grabbed Luo’s machine and swung it into an enemy machine.

Luo was accidentally sent crashing into the ruins, where AmbriO prepared a space-warping attack against him, Kira, and Athrun. Ange destroyed AmbriO’s mech and then met his second mech with a matching attack as the Dragon God Aura began escaping its seal, leaving the world engulfed in an enormous explosion.

• Basak’s blow sent Luo flying into the ruins of the Pillar of Dawn, and Xiao Ran confirmed that Luo was alive before sending Kira and Athrun to rescue him.
• AmbriO appeared above the ruins and charged a dimensional attack while Luo remained buried beneath the rubble.
• Ange transformed VILLKISS, rushed AmbriO, and cleaved his Black Mecha in two.
• A second AmbriO mech appeared above Ange as the Dragon God Aura’s roar rose from beneath the Pillar of Dawn.
• Ange sang AmbriO’s song and fired dimensional cannons that collided with his attack, unleashing an explosion that engulfed the world.

The team arrived in the dimensional gap, where three projected Earths and AmbriO’s floating island, Yajenar, appeared. Xiao Ran recognized the Dragon God Aura’s role in bringing them there and led the machines toward the island, believing Ange was there too.

• The team found itself in a void between worlds and saw projections of the three Earths, which Renard explained would merge if their dimensional balance broke.
• Renard identified the floating island as Yajenar, AmbriO’s base, and recalled that AmbriO had brought him there before.
• Xiao Ran spotted the Dragon God Aura with Flame Dragon, Azure Dragon, and Jade Dragon, while Renard observed that its radiance seemed to stabilize space.
• Xiao Ran led the team toward Yajenar, and Hilda called out that Ange was still missing.
• Xiao Ran said Ange would be on the island as the team flew toward it.

Ange was trapped above the Floating Island as AmbriO surrounded her with Black Mecha, but Xiao Ran’s forces arrived and destroyed five of them. AmbriO then filled the Dimensional Rift with countless copies of himself, and Xiao Ran prepared to face them with Dawn’s power.

• Ange fought off five Black Mecha while AmbriO pressured her to become his wife, and she angrily refused.
• AmbriO spotted Xiao Ran’s approaching force, entered a Black Mecha, and rose toward the battle above the island.
• The Yajenar First Squadron charged to rescue Ange, and Xiao Ran’s forces destroyed five Black Mecha, leaving one behind.
• AmbriO introduced the Dimensional Rift as his world and summoned countless copies of himself around Xiao Ran’s force.
• Xiao Ran confirmed that Cagalli and the others had been taken away, spread GN Particles across the world, and vowed that numbers would not save AmbriO’s copies.
