Bronya’s Belobog celebration turned into a cosmic spectacle when Madoka prayed for the planet’s protection and [Miracle] appeared to restore its environment and bless its people. Aha then revealed to Sparkle that Madoka was the real Aeon of [Miracle] and that the apparent prayer and divine manifestation were staged, while he refused to risk exposing the truth himself.

An Xiu then moved Mobius and Vill-V’s research base from One Punch World to Belobog, where they planned to study the power of [Miracle].

• Two days later, Nie Cilei told Theresis that he had come to deliver a message from His Majesty to the Kazdel Military Committee.

Theresis agreed to Kazdel’s incorporation into the Holy Terra Empire after seeing the new planet prepared for the Sarkaz, and the first group of migrants arrived in Belobog. As An Xiu and Madoka went out for a walk, Belobog continued drawing the envy and attention of powerful figures across the cosmos.

• Nie Cilei told Theresis that Kazdel had three days to submit to the Empire and offered the Sarkaz a new planet as their homeland in exchange for labor.

Days later, the Antimatter Legion attacked Herta Space Station, where the Astral Express crew and Stellaron Hunters began their separate missions to protect the station and find the Stellaron.

• Silver Wolf and Kafka offered An Xiu gifts and services in exchange for his help, and An Xiu asked for the bodies and partial freedom of both women and Firefly.

• Stelle refused Herta’s research offer until Herta begged, then Herta grabbed her and took her to test the Simulated Universe.

• Asta and the Astral Express crew accepted Herta’s acknowledgment of Star despite not knowing who she was.

• Herta adjusted the connection equipment and sent Stelle’s consciousness into the Simulated Universe.
• Herta set Stelle’s simulated identity as Akivili, the Aeon of [Trailblaze], to draw the other simulated Aeons, but nothing happened.

Herta tested whether Stelle’s Miracle Path could affect the Simulated Universe, but the test triggered several simulated Aeons and caused the Soul Gem to summon the Aeon of [Miracle]. Stelle woke after the Simulated Universe equipment blew up, and worried she might have to pay for it.

• Herta had Stelle summon Aeons by fighting Voidrangers, and Qlipoth and Fuli appeared before leaving when they realized she was not Akivili.
• Herta removed Stelle’s Akivili identity and had her release the power of the Miracle Path, which drew Nanook’s attack and brought interference from [Equilibrium] and [Erudition].
• Herta failed to transfer Stelle out of the Simulated Universe, and Stelle’s attempt to withstand the attack was overwhelmed.
• The Soul Gem summoned [Miracle], who erased Nanook’s attack and pierced Nanook, [Equilibrium], and [Erudition] with three arrows before fading away.
• Stelle lost consciousness and later woke in a space-station lounge, where Herta told her the Simulated Universe equipment had blown up.

After Herta explained the Aeon of Miracle’s intervention, Xing accepted the Astral Express’s invitation to travel to Jarilo-VI. A week later, An Xiu and Madoka healed Firefly’s Entropy Loss Syndrome in Belobog, leaving Kafka, Silver Wolf, and Firefly to fulfill their agreement with An Xiu.

• Madoka used the power of Miracle to cure Firefly’s Entropy Loss Syndrome, and Firefly rejoiced that she could live without relying on Sam’s armor.
• An Xiu reminded the three Stellaron Hunters that they still owed him compensation, and Silver Wolf joked about taking turns keeping him company.

An Xiu spent time with Silver Wolf, Kafka, and Firefly before Madoka joined him, causing a surge in the Paths that drew the Aeons’ attention.

• Madoka joined An Xiu, shocking Silver Wolf, Kafka, and Firefly with their relationship and causing a fluctuation in the Paths that drew the Aeons toward Belobog.

• An Xiu and Madoka discussed the Xianzhou Alliance’s interest in the Magical Girl Association, and An Xiu decided they could respond later.
• An Xiu opened the system shop as it refreshed and saw that his balance exceeded six hundred million points.

When he brought out the Eternal Core near Belobog, it opened the Path of [Eternity] and created a new Aeon; An Xiu then began fusing with the Core under Madoka’s protection.

• An Xiu bought the Authority of Reason, the Shadow-Eating Legion, and the Eternal Core from the System Shop.
• An Xiu used two retained traversal attempts and four new ones to connect to six worlds, including No Game No Life Zero, Naruto, and Honkai Impact 3rd · Pre-Civilization.
• An Xiu and Madoka went to an uninhabited area outside Belobog, where An Xiu took the Eternal Core out of the system space.
• The Eternal Core unleashed a golden torrent that opened the Path of [Eternity] and gave birth to the [Eternity] Aeon, drawing the attention of the other Aeons.
• Madoka assured An Xiu that the Eternal Core remained under his control and that he could absorb it without being bound by its Path.
• An Xiu fused the Eternal Core into his body, and Madoka stabilized its power and protected it so he could continue fusing with it safely.

After absorbing a fraction of the Eternal Core’s power, An Xiu moved the [Eternity] Aeon into orbit near Jarilo-VI and returned to Belobog. The universe’s major powers analyzed the new Aeon, while the Xianzhou Luofu arrived to join the Yaoqing outside Jarilo-VI.

• An Xiu’s power grew to the scale of a cosmic structure, and Madoka warned him to avoid intense battles while the Eternal Core fused with his body.

Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan welcomed Madoka and An Xiu to the Xianzhou Luofu to discuss a Magical Girl Association branch, then guided them around Central Starskiff Haven. Their tour was interrupted when Jing Yuan recognized his former master Jingliu, a wanted criminal who had appeared nearby.

• Jing Yuan ordered the Luofu to shut down its external detection equipment after its instruments failed in the presence of the golden celestial body, and he warned the Divination Commission against reckless divinations.
• Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan visited Bronya, Seele, Madoka, and An Xiu in Qlipoth Fort, where Madoka agreed to let the Xianzhou choose when to establish a branch and asked for a quiet but accessible location.
• Jing Yuan invited Madoka and An Xiu to inspect the Luofu, and they traveled back with him and Fu Xuan.
• Jing Yuan led Madoka and An Xiu through Central Starskiff Haven and described its commerce and security.
• An Xiu and Madoka sensed someone watching them, and Jing Yuan recognized the figure as Jingliu and left to deal with her.

Jingliu warned Madoka that Luocha planned to exploit a crisis on the Xianzhou Luofu to test whether Madoka could summon [Miracle] again. The warning exposed a threat against Madoka and left Qingque horrified by what she had overheard.

• Jing Yuan left An Xiu and Madoka with Qingque as their guide while he went after Jingliu.
• Qingque took An Xiu and Madoka to Aurum Alley and explained its shops and everyday atmosphere.
• Jingliu approached Madoka and revealed that someone planned to act against her during an impending crisis on the Luofu.
• Jingliu explained that her former collaborator Luocha wanted to test whether Madoka could summon [Miracle] more than once.
• Qingque overheard the conversation and panicked, while An Xiu considered how the Luofu's current alliances and powerful defenders changed the threat.

After Qingque worried that Luocha might target her for uncovering his plot, Madoka gave her a Soul Gem and Emanator-level power. Qingque reported the conspiracy to Jing Yuan and revealed her new status, leaving him astonished and asking how Madoka had granted it.

• An Xiu decided to let Luocha proceed with his scheme, confident Madoka could handle any crisis involving the Arbor or the remnant of Propagation.
• Madoka gave Qingque a Soul Gem that granted her power comparable to an Emanator and promised to protect her at critical moments.
• An Xiu, Madoka, and Qingque visited Aurum Alley, where Madoka chose a site for the Magical Girl Association’s Luofu branch, before they went to the Divination Commission.
• Qingque told Jing Yuan, Fu Xuan, and Yukong about the mastermind’s plot, prompting Fu Xuan to launch an investigation with the Matrix of Prescience.
• After Fu Xuan left, Qingque told Jing Yuan that she had become an Emanator of Miracle and explained how Madoka had given her the Soul Gem.
• Jing Yuan sensed Qingque’s powerful Pathstrider force, believed her account, and asked whether Madoka had granted her the power directly.

As Madoka attended the Xianzhou Luofu’s ribbon-cutting ceremony, Jing Yuan kept Qingque’s new Emanator identity secret while the Xianzhou prepared for a possible attack. The ceremony was interrupted when Luocha revived the Ambrosial Arbor and used the remains of Propagation to create a threat intended to draw out Miracle.

• Jing Yuan agreed not to tell Fu Xuan or anyone else that Qingque had become an Emanator of Miracle.
• A week later, the Xianzhou Luofu prepared for Madoka’s branch-opening ceremony while Fu Xuan’s search for the hidden mastermind made no progress.
• Topaz and Aventurine arrived to observe the ceremony, and Guinaifen livestreamed the gathering with Sushang.
• Madoka addressed the crowd and spoke about Miracle before Jing Yuan and the other Xianzhou officials prepared to cut the ribbon.
• The Luofu shook as the Ambrosial Arbor began growing again, and the Xianzhou officials realized it was in danger.
• At Scalegorge Waterscape, Luocha revived the Arbor with a Stellaron, then cast the remains of Tayzzyronth into it to combine Propagation with Abundance and provoke Miracle.

The revived Path of Propagation unleashed a Swarm across the Xianzhou Luofu, and Jing Yuan and Feixiao were gravely wounded trying to stop its juvenile. The enormous Propagation larva headed toward the city, drawn by An Xiu and Madoka, who prepared to deal with it.

• Jing Yuan ordered Yanqing to evacuate civilians and Fu Xuan to take charge, then attacked the egg atop the Arbor with the Divine Arbiter.
• A black-purple insect burst from the egg, crushed Jing Yuan’s strike, and began resonating with the Path of Propagation as swarms spread across the Luofu.
• The Propagation juvenile shattered the Divine Arbiter and blasted Jing Yuan away, but Feixiao arrived and rescued him.
• Feixiao stayed behind to protect civilians, but her attack failed to pierce the juvenile’s defenses, and the Propagation larva gravely wounded her.
• Drawn by An Xiu and Madoka, the larva flew toward the city, where An Xiu decided it was time to stop it.

Madoka stopped the revived Propagation larva from destroying the Xianzhou Luofu, and An Xiu used its power to have [Eternity] annex portions of the Paths of [Abundance] and [Propagation]. Luocha was captured and imprisoned by the Xianzhou Alliance, while the disaster’s end diminished The Swarm across the universe.

• Guinaifen and Sushang saw The Swarm approaching the urban district, while livestream viewers recognized signs that [Propagation] had revived.
• Madoka protected the civilians and summoned [Miracle], which purified the swarm and refined the [Propagation] larva into energy.
• An Xiu directed [Eternity] to absorb the larva’s power and tear away part of the Path of [Abundance] and most of the Path of [Propagation].
• Madoka summoned Luocha from Scalegorge Waterscape, suppressed him, and handed him over to the Xianzhou Alliance.
• Two days later, the Xianzhou Alliance had judged Luocha and imprisoned him, while the Interastral Peace Corporation reported that The Swarm had greatly diminished.
