Ling Feng awakened from a blue crystal in a ruin and learned he had arrived fifty thousand years in the future, where Theresa, Tesla, and Himeko investigated his identity and power. After settling into St. Freya Academy, he interrupted Kiana sneaking toward Mei’s room and was kicked through a window into Mei’s bathroom, where she attacked him.

• Ling Feng recalled the Planet-class Honkai Beast Deity and his promise to teach Kuroki to fight, before the story revealed that the failed battle had destroyed humanity.
• Theresa, Tesla, and Himeko found Ling Feng awake aboard the Hyperion and learned that he remembered being an S-rank Valkyrie from the Human Federation, not Schicksal or Anti-Entropy.
• The group concluded that Ling Feng had arrived from an era at least fifty thousand years earlier, and Theresa arranged a room for him at St. Freya Academy.
• Theresa, Tesla, and Himeko discussed befriending Ling Feng because of his strength and potential, while Ling Feng wondered whether he could return to his own time.
• Ling Feng spotted Kiana lowering herself toward Mei’s dormitory window and grabbed her rope to stop her.
• Kiana kicked Ling Feng through the window into Mei’s bathroom, and Mei wrapped herself in a towel and punched at him.

After Mei apologized for kicking Ling Feng, he discovered that his damaged body could no longer safely use its energy. He refused Theresa’s offers to serve as a Valkyrie or instructor, but accepted Himeko’s suggestion to become a Valkyrie team assistant and was assigned to Team 233.

• Mei explained that Kiana had caused the misunderstanding, and Bronya introduced herself and identified Kiana as Team 233’s captain.
• Ling Feng introduced himself as an S-rank Valkyrie, learned that the era had very few S-rank Valkyries, and left Mei’s apartment.
• Ling Feng tried to use his energy outside but coughed blood and found that he could not control his power.
• Tesla examined Ling Feng and warned that his ruptured meridians made using energy potentially fatal.
• Ling Feng refused Theresa’s offers to become a Valkyrie or teach at the academy because he did not want to send students into battle.
• Himeko offered Ling Feng a Valkyrie team assistant position, and Tesla and Himeko assigned him to Team 233.

Ling Feng joined Team 233 as its assistant and moved into the apartment with Kiana, Mei, and Bronya, learning about the team and St. Freya Academy. He settled in with Mei’s help, though Kiana warned him to stay away from her, and the chapter ended with Mei cooking a delicious all-vegetable lunch.

• Theresa assigned Ling Feng to Team 233, and Tesla explained that the struggling team would let the academy assess his abilities.
• Himeko introduced Ling Feng as Team 233’s assistant, and Kiana objected before reluctantly accepting the assignment.
• Himeko explained how Stigmata imprinting worked and warned Ling Feng that learning to imprint them had made many male students bald.
• Mei showed Ling Feng the apartment and helped him clean his new room while he asked about the academy, Valkyrie ranks, and Honkai combat.
• Mei cooked lunch for the team, and Ling Feng was surprised that her all-vegetable meal tasted delicious.

Ling Feng joined Team 233 on a festival patrol in Magic City, where Anti-Entropy mechs attacked a convoy and Fu Hua arrived to fight them. A mysterious girl appeared in a crimson mech and confronted Fu Hua.

• Fu Hua announced that St. Freya’s Valkyries would patrol Magic City’s festival, and Ling Feng joined Mei, Kiana, and Bronya’s assigned shift.
• Ling Feng treated the team to takoyaki as they patrolled, but an explosion in a festival convoy sent the crowd fleeing.
• Anti-Entropy mechs descended from nearby buildings and attacked Team 233 while searching through the convoy’s cargo.
• Fu Hua arrived and destroyed several mechs with powerful strikes, overwhelming the machines that had pinned down Mei, Kiana, and Bronya.
• A girl appeared in a slender crimson mech and praised Fu Hua’s strength before Fu Hua asked who she was.

Ling Feng found the combination case during the Anti-Entropy attack, but it was destroyed when he tried to protect Fu Hua. After discovering Chi You, he awakened the God-Slaying Armor and returned to the battle, leaving the red mech’s forces facing his newly revealed power.

• Fu Hua fought a fast, heavily armored red mech while Mei, Kiana, and Bronya headed for the third car to retrieve the combination case.
• Ling Feng found the case, but a second red mech attacked him and Fu Hua intervened to block its strike.
• Ling Feng swung the case at the red mech, and the clash destroyed it and blasted him into the rubble.
• Ling Feng awakened Chi You, and the AI constructed the God-Slaying Armor despite warning that using its power would further damage his body.
• Ling Feng returned to the fight, cut two Titan Mechs in half, and used Chi You to swallow the Thunder God Mechs’ shell barrage.

Ling Feng used Chiyou to destroy the Anti-Entropy mechs, then explained the Sacred Relic and his abilities to Theresa while declining to keep Chiyou. Theresa challenged him to train Kiana into an A-rank Valkyrie by graduation, and Ling Feng bargained for head pats, angering her; back at the apartment, Mei welcomed him with food, and he asked whether she wanted to question him.

• Ling Feng transformed with Chiyou, destroyed the crimson mechs, and handed the Sacred Relic to Fu Hua after explaining that it had enabled his armor.
• Theresa questioned Ling Feng about Chiyou, and he explained the Sacred Relics and why he could use the weapon while warning that it harmed his body.
• Ling Feng declined to keep Chiyou, and Theresa proposed that he train Kiana to become an A-rank Valkyrie before graduation or become a teacher at St. Freya Academy.
• Ling Feng asked to pat Theresa's head as his reward for winning, and she attacked him with Judah after he commented on her age and height.
• Ling Feng returned to the apartment, ate Mei's late-night snack, and asked whether she had anything she wanted to ask him.

Ling Feng offered to manually imprint stronger Stigmata on Mei, and she agreed despite Kiana's suspicions. He erased Mei's Sharenna set and gave her a four-star Stigmata through a gentle technique that felt like an intense massage, leaving both of them exhausted.

• Ling Feng learned that Mei used a two-star Sharenna set and that ordinary Stigmata imprinting was painful and required a Plasma laser pen.
• Ling Feng insisted he could imprint Stigmata without a laser pen, and Mei agreed to let him try after Kiana and Bronya reacted to his claim.
• Kiana gave Ling Feng an Eraser pen, and he removed the Sharenna patterns from Mei's back before asking what strength of Stigmata she could withstand.
• Ling Feng began imprinting a single four-star Stigmata, and Mei cried out as his gentle energy made the process feel intensely pleasurable.
• Ling Feng completed the imprinting after half an hour, leaving Mei sweaty and weak while he wiped sweat from his forehead.

Ling Feng visited Tesla to ask about her work at the academy and whether damaged memories could be repaired, after realizing he knew nothing about the gods. Tesla asked whether his memories had really been damaged, leaving Ling Feng's question unanswered.

• Ling Feng woke late, ate the breakfast Mei had left, and thought about his missing knowledge of the gods.
• Ling Feng wandered around the academy before deciding to seek help from Tesla.
• Ling Feng asked Tesla what work she did at the academy and whether she could repair damaged memories.
• Tesla asked Ling Feng whether his memories had really been damaged.

Ling Feng learned that Tesla could not help with his memory problem but suggested Einstein, who worked for Anti-Entropy. He then watched Kiana pass her B-rank Valkyrie promotion assessment with her Attila Stigmata, leaving after her victory while Mei was also seen training with the same Stigmata.

• Tesla told Ling Feng that her friend Einstein might solve his memory problem, but Einstein worked for Anti-Entropy, Schicksal's enemy.
• Tesla told Ling Feng that Kiana was taking the B-rank promotion assessment, and they went to watch her prepare with Aquatic Elf Type B and White Comet armor.
• Kiana defeated the first waves of simulated Honkai Beasts with kicks, pistols, and White Comet's Time Slowdown, but struggled against the Temple Guard.
• Kiana activated her Attila Lower Stigmata and Valkyrie Burst, shattered the Temple Guard's shield, and passed the B-rank assessment.
• Kiana refused to tell the other girls who had imprinted her Stigmata, and they noticed Mei training with the same Stigmata pattern.

After Ling Feng’s Stigmata helped Kiana advance to B-rank, his ability drew attention at St. Freya Academy while Kiana dreamed of a phantom promising information about her mother, Cecilia. The chapter ended as Theresa introduced Ling Feng and Team 233 to A-rank Valkyrie Tifa and Charlotte, also known as Dr. X.

• Mei tested her new Stigmata, and Kiana told Theresa and Himeko that Ling Feng had imprinted Stigmata on her and Mei.
• Theresa and Himeko discussed Ling Feng’s skills and considered asking him to explain his Stigmata imprinting method.
• Team 233 celebrated Kiana’s B-rank advancement, and Kiana dreamed of a phantom that promised to reveal information about Cecilia if she became stronger.
• Girls crowded around Ling Feng at school to ask for Stigmata, but Kiana insisted that he could imprint them only for her team.
• Kiana spotted an unfamiliar plane landing at the Academy, then Theresa summoned Team 233 to her office and introduced them to Tifa and Charlotte, known as Dr. X.

Charlotte, a genius researcher and creator of the first third-generation Valkyrie Armor, visited St. Freya Academy to discuss cooperation and recruit Ling Feng to test her future armor designs. After revealing that Honkai Beasts were steadily growing stronger, she left Ling Feng considering her offer and Mei asking whether the threat was real.

• Charlotte confirmed that she was Dr. X and explained that she had come to meet Ling Feng after his destruction of her Badr test unit.
• Kiana and the others recognized Charlotte and Tifa as the people involved in the earlier attack, but Theresa stopped them from fighting and resumed discussions about cooperation.
• Charlotte explained that Anti-Entropy had hired her to recover relics and offered Ling Feng advanced weapons and fourth-generation Valkyrie Armor in exchange for testing her designs.
• Charlotte said she believed relics could be made from Honkai Beast cores and hoped to replicate them, while Ling Feng considered the dangers of mishandling their power.
• Charlotte revealed that her research indicated Honkai Beasts were steadily growing stronger, then left after getting Mei's contact information.
• Mei asked Ling Feng whether Honkai Beasts were really getting stronger, and he admitted that he did not know.

Ling Feng told Tesla that Honkai Beasts were growing stronger and explained how the God-Slaying Armor of his era had been made. On his way back, Yuqi blackmailed him into agreeing to Imprint a Stigmata for her, and he warned her to keep his unusual method from Mei and Kiana.

• Kiana defeated Yuqi in combat practice, while Mei beat two B-rank Valkyries without using her Stigmata.
• Yuqi and Baizhi planned to pressure Ling Feng into Imprinting a four-star Stigmata for Yuqi.
• Tesla showed Ling Feng records indicating that Honkai Beasts had grown stronger and more numerous over the past decade.
• Ling Feng told Tesla that the eighteen God-Slaying Armor pieces used the cores of eighteen Judgment-class Honkai Beasts and were tailored to their Valkyries.
• Yuqi trapped Ling Feng in the woods and threatened to tell Kiana and Mei he had groped her unless he Imprinted a Stigmata for her.
• Ling Feng agreed to Imprint Yuqi’s Stigmata, but warned her that his method was unusual and asked her not to tell Mei and Kiana too much about it.

Ling Feng imprinted Stigmata on Yuqi and Baizhi, while Bronya passed the B-rank Valkyrie exam and Team 233 qualified for missions. The chapter ended with Himeko briefing Mei, Kiana, and Bronya aboard the Hyperion to stop an out-of-control warship before it crashed into Magic City.

• Yuqi and Baizhi agreed to keep Ling Feng’s Stigmata imprinting secret, and a blonde student photographed them for the campus daily before Yuqi and Baizhi fought in the woods.
• Kiana suggested that Bronya get a Stigmata so Team 233 could advance, but Bronya refused and said she would pass the B-rank exam without one.
• Ling Feng and Mei practiced swordsmanship, and Ling Feng demonstrated his Flash Step before asking Mei to attack him with all her strength.
• The next morning, Ling Feng imprinted Stigmata suited to Yuqi’s greatsword and Baizhi’s sniper rifle.
• Bronya passed the B-rank Valkyrie exam, and Team 233’s application to advance to a B-rank team was approved.
• Two days later, Himeko briefed Mei, Kiana, and Bronya aboard the Hyperion about stopping an out-of-control warship from crashing into Magic City.

Kiana, Mei, and Bronya boarded the out-of-control Moonlight Throne to stop it from reaching Shanghai, but an Emperor-class Honkai Beast overwhelmed Kiana and Mei. Mei released her restrictions, awakened the Third Herrscher’s power, and destroyed the beast before collapsing unconscious.

• Kiana cleared the Rush-type Honkai Beasts from the Hyperion’s deck while Mei investigated the Moonlight Throne and Bronya worked to hack its systems.
• Kiana, Mei, and Bronya landed on the Moonlight Throne and began their mission to stop it before it reached Shanghai, with Bronya entering the control room to take control.
• Mei and Kiana fought the growing numbers of Honkai Beasts while Bronya tried to break through the warship’s password protection.
• An Emperor-class Honkai Beast disrupted communications and badly injured Kiana, leaving Mei to face it while protecting her and buying Bronya time.
• Ling Feng took command aboard the Hyperion, ordered the carrier aircraft deployed, and prepared the main cannon as a last resort to keep the Moonlight Throne from crashing into Shanghai.
• Mei released her restrictions, awakened the Third Herrscher’s power, and destroyed the Emperor-class Honkai Beast, then collapsed unconscious as Kiana called out to her.

Team 233 survived the Moonlight Throne incident, but Mei’s Herrscher power and Bronya’s vulnerability to remote control left Ling Feng with questions about his teammates. After learning about their pasts, he returned to the apartment and agreed to take the girls shopping in Magic City the next day.

• Mei, Kiana, and Himeko regrouped with Bronya, and Mei gave Bronya Kiana’s birthday so she could unlock the Moonlight Throne.
• An unknown signal took control of Bronya and made her target the others, but Mei knocked her unconscious before she could attack.
• Himeko and Kiana piloted the Moonlight Throne to St. Freya Academy, while Tesla examined Mei and Bronya and found no serious injuries.
• Theresa and Tesla explained to Ling Feng that Cocolia had transformed Mei into a Herrscher and made Bronya a half-human, half-machine person who could be controlled through her Bio-chip.
• Ling Feng reassured Theresa that he would remain Team 233’s assistant, then returned to the apartment and promised to take the girls to Magic City for a day of shopping.
• Kiana pushed to go the next day instead of waiting until the following weekend, and Ling Feng asked Mei whether she agreed.

Ling Feng accompanied Mei, Bronya, and Kiana on a shopping trip, then went with Mei to visit her imprisoned father, Raiden Ryoma. Mei explained that she planned to become an S-rank Valkyrie so she could uncover evidence that her father had been framed.

• Ling Feng worried about Mei's Herrscher powers until Mei found him by the pond and offered him a massage.
• Mei agreed to tell Ling Feng why she was determined to become a Valkyrie when they went somewhere alone after shopping.
• Ling Feng took Mei, Bronya, and Kiana to Magic City, where they shopped and ate at a buffet.
• Mei left Bronya and Kiana at a cold drink shop and took Ling Feng to Magic City International Prison to visit Raiden Ryoma.
• Raiden Ryoma teased Ling Feng about being Mei's boyfriend, then asked him to take good care of Mei.
• Mei told Raiden Ryoma that she wanted to become an S-rank Valkyrie so she could use her authority to find evidence that he had been framed.

Ling Feng spoke privately with Ryoma, who asked him to capture Mei if she became a Herrscher and hinted that he had left a gift at Mei’s favorite childhood place. After Mei revealed Cocolia had framed Ryoma and altered her into a Herrscher, she and Ling Feng shared an awkward, nearly romantic moment before walking back together holding hands.

• Ryoma warned Mei against using Honkai power and sent her outside so he could speak with Ling Feng alone.
• Ling Feng told Ryoma he was an S-rank Valkyrie with only D-rank—or weaker—combat power, and Ryoma asked him to capture Mei if she became a Herrscher.
• Ryoma told Ling Feng to find a gift he had left at the place Mei loved visiting as a child, and Ling Feng agreed to go with her.
• Mei told Ling Feng that Cocolia had framed Ryoma for financial fraud and modified Mei’s body into that of a Herrscher.
• Mei explained that she wanted to become an S-rank Valkyrie to investigate the case and free her father, even if doing so risked her becoming a Herrscher.
• Ling Feng teased Mei about marriage and leaned close to her, but he backed off; they returned together holding hands, both feeling awkward.

Ling Feng faced suspicion after a campus report falsely claimed he had groped Yuqi in exchange for imprinting Stigmata, while Mei and the others ultimately chose not to expose Yuqi. The afternoon combat assessment began under the observation of Rita Roseweisse, an S-rank Valkyrie and vice-captain of Immortal Blades, whose presence made Theresa wary.

• A classmate showed Ling Feng a campus report alleging that he had touched Yuqi in exchange for imprinting her Stigmata, prompting Mei, Kiana, and Bronya to threaten him for an explanation.
• Ling Feng explained that Yuqi had pressured him into imprinting her Stigmata, and the classmate asked him to imprint one for her; he encouraged her to keep training instead.
• Mei and Kiana blamed Ling Feng for misleading the disappointed classmate, while Ling Feng refused Bronya's offer to expose Yuqi and said he wanted the false report to discourage others from seeking Stigmata.
• Bronya deleted the report and identified its editor, and Mei left the cafeteria before returning; Ling Feng suspected she had dealt with the editor, but the chapter did not reveal what she did.
• At the practical combat assessment, Theresa introduced Rita Roseweisse as headquarters' liaison and the vice-captain of Immortal Blades; Theresa privately wondered why Otto had sent her to the academy.

Kiana defeated Yuqi in the Valkyrie assessment, while Rita noticed the unusually powerful Stigmata at St. Freya and reported her findings to Schicksal. Later, Ling Feng replaced Mei’s weakening Stigmata and gave her and Kiana massages, then asked Kiana which Stigmata she wanted.

• Yuqi challenged Kiana, but Kiana outmaneuvered her and won their opening assessment match; Himeko said both Valkyries passed with excellent grades.
• Rita observed that Kiana’s and Yuqi’s four-star Stigmata were perfect, noticed Mei’s similar Stigmata, and sent her findings to Schicksal before staying at St. Freya on the Bishop’s orders.
• Mei asked Ling Feng to refresh her weakening Stigmata and considered trying a five-star one, but Ling Feng advised her to wait until she had sufficient compatibility and rank.
• Ling Feng massaged Mei to relieve her soreness, then replaced her old Stigmata with Elizabeth upper and middle and Attila lower.
• Mei recommended that Kiana receive a massage too, and Ling Feng asked Kiana which Stigmata she wanted.

After Kiana pressured Ling Feng to consider imprinting a five-star Stigmata, Mei learned why and warned Kiana to be more careful with him. The next day, Team 233 received a deployment order for a level-three Honkai outbreak in northern Magic City, with Ling Feng assigned to lead the mission.

• Kiana tried to persuade Ling Feng to imprint a five-star Stigmata by pinning him down and offering a lap pillow, but Mei returned and sent Ling Feng outside so she could speak with Kiana alone.
• Kiana admitted to Mei that she wanted a five-star Stigmata because she felt stronger after their last battle and confessed that she did not mind Ling Feng touching her.
• The academy alarm sounded, and Mei told Kiana, Bronya, and Ling Feng that Theresa had ordered Team 233 to prepare for deployment.
• Tesla and Theresa briefed Ling Feng that a level-three Honkai outbreak had appeared in northern Magic City, and Theresa assigned Team 233 to handle the battle plan and on-site command.
• Ling Feng received a tactical visor from Tesla and boarded the Hyperion with Himeko and the Valkyries, taking the role of acting captain as they set course for Magic City.

Team 233 easily defeated the outbreak’s lower-level Honkai Beasts, but an Emperor-class Honkai Beast appeared and overwhelmed the group. Himeko collapsed from a sudden attack of pain, and Ling Feng and Kiana rushed in to help as the battle turned desperate.

• Ling Feng sent Mei, Kiana, and Bronya to clear the outbreak site while Rita observed the mission from the Hyperion.
• Mei quickly killed both Chariot-type Honkai Beasts, and the three Valkyries eliminated the remaining Honkai Beasts in under three minutes.
• An Emperor-class Honkai Beast appeared and attacked Kiana; Mei tried to protect her, but her strike failed to break its shield, so Himeko joined the fight.
• Himeko shattered the Honkai Beast’s shield, then suddenly coughed up blood and fell before she could finish it.
• Ling Feng jumped from the Hyperion, took Himeko’s greatsword, and charged the Honkai Beast while Mei moved to help Himeko.
• Kiana returned to the fight and attacked the Honkai Beast, but its energy beam shattered her armor before she could reach it.

Mei lost control after using the Herrscher's power and attacked Kiana, forcing Ling Feng and Bronya to intervene. Ling Feng absorbed Mei's Honkai energy until her consciousness returned, then tried to explain what had happened.

• Kiana was badly injured by the Emperor-class Honkai Beast, and Mei used the Herrscher's power to destroy it before turning on Kiana.
• Mei grabbed Kiana and tried to absorb her Honkai energy, so Ling Feng attacked Mei while Tesla explained how draining her energy might restore her consciousness.
• Ling Feng fought defensively until Bronya restrained Mei with Dimension Control, giving him a chance to disarm and kiss her as he absorbed her Honkai energy.
• Mei began absorbing energy from Ling Feng in return, but he regained the advantage, and the Honkai consciousness gradually disappeared as Mei's eyes returned to black.
• Mei regained consciousness with no memory of her actions, and Ling Feng explained that he had acted to save her before warning her not to use the Herrscher's power again.

After Ling Feng recovered from his devastating injuries, he returned to the apartment and reunited with Mei and Kiana. As the evening wound down, Mei offered him a massage and invited him to sleep on her lap.

• Mei and the others rushed the unconscious, badly injured Ling Feng to the Hyperion, where Chiyou repaired his body over several days.
• Ling Feng woke in a Bio-pod, lent Chiyou to Tesla for study, and returned to the apartment without warning Mei or Kiana.
• Mei and Kiana welcomed Ling Feng back, and Mei prepared dinner while Kiana shared snacks and told him that Himeko's health had worsened after the battle.
• Ling Feng learned more about Himeko's declining condition and decided he should speak with her about retiring.
• After dinner, Mei noticed Ling Feng was tired, offered him a massage, and asked if he wanted to sleep on her lap.

Mei, Kiana, and Bronya traveled to Shanghai for a secret project and returned with a new phone for Ling Feng, while Kiana secretly kissed him as he slept. Ling Feng spent the day helping Tesla prepare experiments with imitation Divine Relics, and the girls kept their Shanghai work a secret.

• Mei gave Ling Feng a lap pillow and massaged him until he fell asleep, then discussed a plan with Kiana and Bronya.
• Ling Feng woke to Mei's note saying the three girls had gone to Shanghai, then spent the day helping Tesla prepare to test imitation Divine Relics.
• After the girls returned, Kiana went to wake Ling Feng and secretly kissed him while he slept, only to find Mei watching from the doorway.
• Mei, Kiana, and Bronya gave Ling Feng a new phone they had earned money to buy in Shanghai, but Mei refused to reveal what work they had done.

Kiana and Mei separately asked Fu Hua and Tesla for advice about their feelings for Ling Feng and their friendship with each other. They returned to acting normally, and Mei ended the chapter by offering Ling Feng a massage and a lap pillow.

• Kiana asked Fu Hua what her friend should do after falling for the person her friend liked, and Fu Hua advised her to take initiative while weighing the risk to their friendship.
• Mei told Tesla that her friend had seen her friend secretly kiss the person she liked while he was asleep, and Tesla urged her to claim him before a relationship formed.
• Fu Hua and Tesla separately wondered whether Kiana or Mei was the friend in their stories, while Tesla returned to working on Ling Feng's assignment.
• Kiana and Mei met by the lake, talked about homework and food, and tacitly chose to set aside what had happened.
• After dinner, Mei offered Ling Feng a massage and a lap pillow.
