Chapter Summaries

An Xiu and his allies invaded the Lunar Capital, where Kaguya Houraisan defeated Yorihime Watatsuki and confronted Tsukuyomi. Kaguya struck Tsukuyomi first, but he revealed that he drew power from the moon itself, leaving their battle poised to escalate.

• Yukari Yakumo opened a passage to the moon, and An Xiu's group arrived outside the Lunar Capital's barrier.
• Kaguya Houraisan challenged the Lunar Capital's defenders, defeated Yorihime Watatsuki, and broke through the barrier with her allies' support.
• Yae Kasumi paralyzed the Lunar Capital's forces while Meli's illusion incapacitated its experts, allowing Kaguya to advance toward the central palace.
• Tsukuyomi drove Kaguya outside the barrier, but she rushed at him and punched him into the lunar surface.
• Tsukuyomi rose with his power amplified by the moon, and Kaguya identified his Authority of the Moon as the source of his strength.

Kaguya Houraisan defeated Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto and took control of the Lunar Capital with An Xiu’s help, while planning to transfer the Authority of the Moon. Tsukuyomi woke as a prisoner, refused to surrender his power, and was stunned when Eirin Yagokoro gave him a liquid that greatly increased his strength.

• Kaguya Houraisan overcame Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto’s lunar power, knocked him unconscious, and returned to the Lunar Capital.
• The Step-away Maidens subdued the remaining resistance, leaving the Lunar Capital under An Xiu and Kaguya’s control.
• Kaguya ordered Toyohime Watatsuki and Yorihime Watatsuki to announce her rule and prepare a Retired Emperor title for An Xiu, then dismissed them and the others.
• Eirin Yagokoro found Tsukuyomi awake in a palace side hall and explained why Kaguya had attacked the Lunar Capital.
• Tsukuyomi refused to surrender the Authority of the Moon, so Eirin gave him a drop of liquid that increased his divine power by nearly one-fifth.

After losing to Kaguya Houraisan, Tsukuyomi agreed to give her the Authority of the Moon and serve An Xiu, hoping to discover the source of his power. Half a month later, Kaguya received the authority while Tsukuyomi approached An Xiu for the strength-giving liquid, leaving Kaguya alarmed by what she heard from his room.

• Eirin Yagokoro gave Tsukuyomi a drop of An Xiu’s bodily fluid and explained that it could help preserve or increase his strength after the Authority of the Moon was transferred.
• Kaguya Houraisan told An Xiu that Tsukuyomi had created her and her sisters as tools to share the burden of the Authority of the Moon.
• Tsukuyomi entered the palace, conceded defeat to Kaguya, and agreed to hand over the Lunar Capital and the Authority of the Moon.
• Over the next half month, Kaguya’s forces restored order, and Tsukuyomi transferred the Authority of the Moon to her.
• While Kaguya absorbed the authority, Tsukuyomi went to An Xiu and asked him for the strength-giving liquid, and An Xiu agreed.
• After completing the transfer, Kaguya sensed something was wrong and hurried toward An Xiu’s room, where she heard a coquettish sound.

An Xiu refreshed the system shop, connected to three new worlds, and visited Sakura to ask whether she could help him replicate abilities. Sakura created the [Empty] Card for him, and An Xiu returned to Kyoto, where Yukari Yakumo mistook his arrival for an order.

• An Xiu bought a Toriko Ingredient Random Pack and a Mega Monster Battle Nizer, then connected to the Pokémon, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners worlds.
• An Xiu visited the Hestia Familia home and learned that Seele and Sakura had declined to join the Loki Familia's Dungeon expedition; Sakura could raise her level to 9 using the [Exchange] Card.
• Sakura created the [Empty] Card, which could permanently record abilities after sampling a small amount of their power, and gave it to An Xiu.
• An Xiu returned to Kyoto and found Yukari Yakumo instructing Ran Yakumo; Yukari snapped to attention and asked what order he had come to give her.

An Xiu arrived in Jarilo-VI’s Underworld and used the boundary powers he copied from Yukari Yakumo to overpower Seele, a Wildfire fighter who mistook him for an Overworlder. After waking Seele in an abandoned mine, he offered her bread and began his effort to gain a foothold in the Underworld.

• An Xiu copied Yukari Yakumo’s boundary powers with the Empty Card and discovered that his own strength greatly amplified them.
• An Xiu traveled to Jarilo-VI’s Underworld, judged Belobog’s divided state suitable for his plans, and headed toward Boulder Town.
• Seele attacked An Xiu, but he slowed her with the boundary between fast and slow, pulled her close with the boundary between far and near, and knocked her unconscious.
• An Xiu carried Seele to an abandoned mine outside Boulder Town, tested his boundary powers, and revived her with the Horse Talisman.
• Seele explained that hunger was common in the Underworld, and An Xiu produced a basket of hot bread and told her to eat.

An Xiu won Seele’s support by using his boundary power to provide limitless bread to Boulder Town, then met with Wildfire’s leaders to discuss bringing the Underworld under his control and overthrowing Cocolia. Natasha asked what he could offer and whether they could defeat the Overworld, and An Xiu began explaining his capabilities.

• An Xiu let Seele eat her fill, explained that he came from beyond Belobog to unite the Underworld and overthrow the Overworld, and asked her to help distribute food.
• An Xiu created a shed and an inexhaustible basket of bread, while Seele handed out two loaves per person and kept order as Boulder Town’s residents gathered.
• After the distribution, An Xiu invited Seele to help him bring food to other Underworld settlements, and she agreed.
• Oleg introduced himself as Wildfire’s leader and thanked An Xiu, who said he wanted to speak with Natasha, Wildfire’s true leader.
• At Natasha’s clinic, An Xiu fed the children and told Natasha he could provide endless food, heat sources, and medical supplies; she questioned what he could offer and their chances against Cocolia and the Silvermane Guards.

An Xiu empowered Seele to test whether strengthening a Pathstrider could attract an Aeon’s attention, and Lan’s gaze unexpectedly made her a true Emanator of The Hunt. As the Xianzhou Alliance prepared to investigate the miracle, An Xiu considered using the same method to gain more Emanator power and asked Seele what she thought.

• Natasha agreed to put Wildfire under An Xiu’s command, and An Xiu instructed her and Oleg to distribute basic food in exchange for labor while improving the Underworld.
• An Xiu took Seele to the snowy surface and used the power of boundaries to strengthen her, prompting Lan to appear and grant her the power of an Emanator of The Hunt.

• An Xiu brought the newly ascended Seele back to the Underworld and considered testing whether he could draw further Aeons’ attention, especially Qlipoth’s, after taking the Overworld.
• An Xiu asked Seele what she thought about his plans, and she looked back at him blankly.

After stabilizing the Underworld, An Xiu sent Seele and Wildfire to overthrow Supreme Guardian Cocolia and seize control of Belobog. Seele captured Cocolia, suppressed the Stellaron, and defeated most of the Silvermane Guards, leaving the Overworld under Wildfire’s control as she went to fetch An Xiu.

• Seele told An Xiu she would leave Belobog’s future planning to him, and he explained that Lan was an Aeon like Qlipoth.
• After more than half a month of rebuilding the Underworld, An Xiu ordered Wildfire to march on the Overworld and remove Cocolia.
• Seele broke through the guards at Qlipoth Fort, seized Cocolia, and carried her to Everwinter Hill.
• Seele suppressed the Stellaron’s power, took the silent Stellaron, and knocked Cocolia unconscious so she could be exposed to the people before any punishment.
• Seele helped Wildfire defeat the Silvermane Guards and secure the Overworld, then went to bring An Xiu to Qlipoth Fort.

An Xiu chose Bronya Rand to become Belobog’s new Supreme Guardian, while keeping the real power in his hands and guiding reforms that improved the city. After making Bronya a second Emanator and helping Belobog emerge as a power with two Emanators, An Xiu opened the refreshed system shop and considered its discounted items.

• An Xiu visited Bronya in prison, then brought her to Cocolia, who confessed that the Stellaron had influenced her to sabotage Belobog and abandon the Underworld.
• An Xiu offered Bronya the Supreme Guardian’s position on the condition that her major orders follow his will, and Bronya accepted.
• A week later, Bronya took office and publicly announced Cocolia’s crimes; she then ordered Gepard to seize corrupt nobles’ property and supported reforms across Belobog.
• An Xiu drew Qlipoth’s attention through Bronya and obtained a second Emanator position for Belobog, leaving the city with two Emanators.
• An Xiu opened the newly refreshed system shop and saw discounted listings for the Book of Omniscience, the Twelve Talismans Gift Pack, and a Surprise Blind Box.

An Xiu drew the Law of Cycles from a discounted blind box and materialized Madoka Kaname, whose arrival spread a new Path across the cosmos and established her as the Aeon of [Miracle]. The Xianzhou Alliance and the Interastral Peace Corporation identified the birthplace as a site of major interest and prepared cautious expeditions, while Topaz was assigned to lead the company’s team there.

• An Xiu obtained the [Law of Cycles] and spent 500,000 points to materialize Madoka Kaname with its power and status.
• Madoka’s arrival sent a wave across the cosmos, and living beings and Aeons sensed the birth of the [Miracle] Path and its Aeon.
• Aha chose to investigate by possessing a twin-tailed girl’s mask, while Sparkle received coordinates and decided to go there.
• Madam Herta announced the Aeon’s birthplace, and Herta, Screwllum, and Ruan Mei discussed how the Path of [Miracle] could affect Erudition and research.
• Feixiao confirmed that the coordinates matched a place where the Reignbow Arbiter had cast his gaze, and Huaiyan instructed the Xianzhou Yaoqing to investigate and approach the new Aeon’s followers cautiously.
• Diamond assigned Topaz to lead the Interastral Peace Corporation’s preliminary exploration, warning her that the company’s stance depended on how she handled contact with the planet’s civilization.

An Xiu received the full power of the Path of Miracle from Madoka, who appeared above Jarilo-VI as an Aeon, and began planning to establish a Magical Girl Association. Three days later, the Xianzhou Yaoqing arrived in Jarilo-VI’s starfield, and Feixiao prepared to make contact with the planet’s inhabitants.

• Madoka appeared above Belobog and opened the power of the Path of Miracle to An Xiu, greatly increasing his strength.
• Madoka explained that her human and divine aspects could both wield her full power, and An Xiu decided to delay transforming Jarilo-VI until more visitors could witness it.
• An Xiu and Madoka planned the Magical Girl Association, and Madoka gave Bronya and Seele Soul Gems that let them transform and draw on the Path of Miracle.
• An Xiu sensed an approaching ship and prepared Bronya and Seele to welcome the guests arriving at Belobog.
• Three days later, the Xianzhou Yaoqing reached Jarilo-VI’s starfield, and Feixiao agreed with Jiaoqiu and Yukong to seek permission before approaching local forces.

Feixiao and Yukong visited Belobog to meet its leaders and investigate the recent appearance of the Aeon of [Miracle]. At the Magical Girl Association, they learned that Madoka Kaname was the humanity left behind when the Aeon ascended, and Madoka warned them that Belobog welcomed only well-intentioned visitors.

• Feixiao led a Xianzhou Yaoqing delegation to Belobog, where Gepard escorted them to meet Bronya and Seele.
• Feixiao recognized Seele as an Emanator of The Hunt and asked about the recent appearance of the Aeon of [Miracle]; Bronya directed the visitors to the Magical Girl Association.
• Feixiao and Yukong entered the Association’s vast headquarters and saw murals depicting the Aeon’s birth and a figure left behind in the mortal world.
• Madoka Kaname appeared before Feixiao and Yukong and explained that she had guided them there to warn that Belobog welcomed friends but not guests with malice.
• Yukong assured Madoka that the Xianzhou Alliance bore no ill will toward Belobog.

Madoka captured Phantylia after she infiltrated the Xianzhou Yaoqing and moved against Belobog, then discovered that Ena had tried to interfere. At An Xiu’s request, Madoka struck Ena and Nanook with Miracle’s power, leaving Ena restrained and Nanook wounded and suppressed.

• Phantylia possessed a foxian aboard the Xianzhou Yaoqing and came to Jarilo-VI, intending to bring destruction to the planet.
• Madoka’s power pulled Phantylia from her host and sealed her in the Magical Girl Association, while Feixiao and Yukong returned to the Xianzhou.
• Madoka sensed that Ena had tried to influence her, and An Xiu ordered her to prevent Ena from affecting their forces and to deal with Nanook as well.
• Madoka fired two arrows of Miracle: the first restrained Ena, and the second pierced Nanook’s attack and body, leaving him wounded and subdued.

The Interastral Peace Corporation confirmed that the Aeon of Miracle had seemingly pinned Nanook into dormancy, then sent Topaz to Belobog to offer aid and pursue cooperation. Topaz discovered that Bronya and Seele were Emanators, while Bronya, Seele, and An Xiu weighed the Corporation’s offer and its potential benefits for Belobog.

• The Corporation’s investigators photographed Nanook pierced by the Aeon of Miracle’s arrow, and its executives ordered a cautious investigation of the Miracle’s other destination.
• Topaz arrived on Jarilo-VI with Corporation employees, warned them to treat the locals respectfully, and led them toward Belobog.

• After reporting Belobog’s strength and its connection to the Magical Girl Association, Topaz received orders to pursue a friendly long-term relationship and investigate the Miracle-linked faction.
• Topaz visited the Magical Girl Association, saw murals depicting the Aeon of Miracle, and wondered whether it had left part of its humanity in the world.
• Bronya and Seele told An Xiu that the Corporation’s aid could help Belobog develop, improve residents’ lives, and reconnect with interstellar society.

An Xiu had Bronya delay Belobog’s cooperation with the Interastral Peace Corporation until the Corporation agreed to promote a city festival, which drew factions from across the cosmos. As the celebration began under a massive livestream audience, Silver Wolf and Kafka watched while considering how the birth of Miracle had disrupted Elio’s prophecies and the Stellaron Hunters’ goals.

• An Xiu told Bronya to postpone detailed cooperation talks with the Corporation and demand free promotion of a festival celebrating Belobog’s victory over the Stellaron.

• Cosmic factions arrived in Belobog, while Seele dealt with hostile groups such as the Annihilation Gang; Aventurine arrived with the Corporation’s filming crew.
• Silver Wolf and Kafka discussed how Miracle’s birth had undermined Terminus’s future and Elio’s prophecies, then agreed to remain with the Stellaron Hunters for now.
• The Corporation began livestreaming Belobog’s festival to a huge audience as viewers and major powers watched the city and its citizens.

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.

• Viewers across the galaxy reacted to Belobog’s history and its two Emanators, while the Astral Express crew recognized Jarilo-VI as a future destination.
• After Bronya’s speech, Feixiao learned that Madoka would pray for Belobog’s protection and hurried to watch from the plaza.
• Madoka prayed on the platform, and powerful Path fluctuations spread across the universe before a vast figure appeared above Belobog.
• The figure answered Madoka by transforming Belobog’s frozen landscape and granting blessings to everyone on the planet.
• Aha told Sparkle that Madoka was the true Aeon of [Miracle] and that the figure outside the planet was a fabricated avatar, then declined to help Sparkle reveal the deception.

After Madoka summoned the [Miracle] Aeon to bless Belobog, the Interastral Peace Corporation and the Xianzhou Alliance rushed to establish ties with the planet and the Magical Girl Association. 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].

• Aha refused Sparkle’s suggestion to confront the [Miracle] Aeon, while Madoka let the observing [Elation] Aeon leave and planned to tell An Xiu about it.
• After Madoka’s blessing spread across the cosmos, Topaz and Aventurine brought the Corporation’s new cooperation proposal to Qlipoth Fort, where Bronya asked them about Belobog’s centuries-old debt and they denied it existed.
• Feixiao arrived to negotiate cooperation with Belobog and asked Madoka to establish a Magical Girl Association branch aboard the Xianzhou; Madoka agreed.
• An Xiu and Madoka traveled through a portal to the One Punch World research base, where Mobius and Vill-V prepared to relocate their work to Belobog and focus on studying [Miracle].

An Xiu returned to Belobog with the research base and decided to recruit Sarkaz from Kazdel as immigrants and laborers. After returning to Terra and proposing that the empire absorb Kazdel and relocate its people to Belobog, he sent Nie Cilei to deliver the plan to Kazdel’s Military Committee.

• An Xiu returned to Londinium, reunited with Talulah, and announced that the empire should absorb Kazdel and relocate its Sarkaz population to Belobog.
• Talulah agreed to inform Kazdel after An Xiu described Belobog as a habitable, underpopulated planet with its disasters resolved.
• 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.
• Madoka sent Theresis to Belobog, where he saw the settlement prepared for the Sarkaz and agreed to persuade Kazdel’s Royal Courts to accept incorporation.

• An Xiu and Madoka left Qlipoth Fort for a concealed stroll while Pela handled another offworld faction’s request to meet Bronya.

An Xiu and Madoka caught Sparkle and Aha tailing them, then questioned Kafka and Silver Wolf about the Stellaron Hunters’ purpose in Belobog. Kafka asked whether Miracle could heal a companion’s genetic defect, and Madoka explained that the companion would need to summon Miracle through her own unwavering faith unless An Xiu asked otherwise.

• Madoka captured Sparkle and Aha, and An Xiu punished Sparkle with six months of maid work at Qlipoth Fort and had Aha sealed and hung at the Magical Girl Association headquarters for two months.

• An Xiu accepted their explanation and said the Stellaron Hunters could remain as guests in Belobog.
• Kafka asked Madoka whether Miracle could heal a companion’s genetic defect, and Madoka said the companion would need unwavering faith after despair unless An Xiu requested her intervention.
