• Ling Feng released True Kiana, Bronya, and Bella on headquarters' floating island, and True Kiana agreed to let him command the operation.

Ling Feng sent Bronya and True Kiana to search Schicksal headquarters for Kiana while Bella attacked its energy towers. Durandal intercepted Bella, overpowered her, and brought her crashing down onto the headquarters’ floating island.

• Ling Feng assigned Bronya and True Kiana to find Kiana and ordered Bella to destroy the energy towers while avoiding harm to bystanders.

• Durandal blocked Bella’s attacks, used her Stands to break Bella’s armor, and cut into her wing when Bella tried to flee.
• Bella’s damaged wing failed to keep her aloft, and she crashed onto the floating island’s airport.

• Ling Feng healed Durandal, returned to Schicksal Headquarters, and demanded that Otto hand over Kiana.

Ling Feng extracted the Herrscher cores from Kiana and pursued Otto, who abandoned Schicksal and prepared to take his own life. Kallen appeared and confronted Otto, leaving him questioning who she was.

• Chi You told Ling Feng that extracting Kiana’s Herrscher cores could suppress Sirin, so Ling Feng removed the Space Gem and Tranquil Gem and placed Kiana in Imaginary Space.
• Ling Feng tracked down and destroyed Otto’s Soulium body, then realized Otto’s real body was likely near Kallen’s preserved remains.

• Otto mistook Kallen for someone made from Kallen Kaslana’s genes, but she disarmed him and identified herself as Kallen Kaslana.

• Ling Feng said he did not know how to truly revive the dead with their current knowledge and power.

Ling Feng left Schicksal’s command center after Theresa was named its new Bishop and went to check on Kiana. When Kiana woke in his Imaginary Space and confessed that she was K423 rather than the real Kiana, Ling Feng reassured her that Sigfried had accepted her as his daughter and that she would always be his Kiana.

• Ling Feng brought the unconscious Otto and Kallen to the command center, where Amber confirmed Schicksal had stopped resisting.
• Theresa arrived, and Ling Feng sent True Kiana to accompany Otto for treatment while Theresa stayed to handle Schicksal’s affairs.

• Ling Feng told Bronya to follow Tesla’s orders, then vanished to check on Kiana in his Imaginary Space.
• Kiana woke and told Ling Feng she was K423, believing he and the real Kiana had known the truth.
• Ling Feng admitted he had learned Kiana’s origins from Sigfried and reassured her that Sigfried had named and accepted her as his daughter, while he would always consider her his Kiana.

Kiana accepted that she could keep the name and life she shared with True Kiana, while Ling Feng prepared to tell her she was pregnant. After Kiana reunited with Theresa, Ling Feng learned that Mei had been rescued and went to find her, leaving Durandal reflecting on their complicated relationship.

• Ling Feng reassured Kiana that True Kiana accepted her and that they could continue living as two Kianas together.
• Kiana asked about Mei before Ling Feng could tell her she was pregnant, so he brought her back to the command center to see Theresa.
• Theresa embraced Kiana, while Ling Feng learned from Tesla that Mei had been rescued and was helping at the air harbor.
• Rita sat with Durandal, who regretted saving Otto and asked after the injured Benarous; Rita said Benarous was unconscious aboard the flagship.
• Ling Feng arrived, asked Rita where Mei was, and flew to Air Harbor No. 2, while Durandal remained behind to consider her complicated ties to him.

Ling Feng reunited with Mei, told her that Kiana was the K423 clone, and reassured her that he loved Kiana for who she was. After Mei joined Kiana and Bronya in the command room, Kiana felt nauseated, and Bronya’s scan led her and Ling Feng to secretly leave together.

• Ling Feng found Mei at Air Harbor No. 2 and explained that Kiana was the K423 clone, while Mei asked how he felt about her.
• Ling Feng took Mei to the command room, where Kiana hugged her and Mei thanked Bronya for helping with the rescue.

• Kiana retched before eating, and Bronya scanned her with Project Bunny and discovered something that prompted Ling Feng to hush her.
• Bronya claimed Kiana had a minor digestive issue, and Ling Feng took Kiana and Bronya through a spatial wormhole, leaving Mei to walk to the cafeteria alone.

Kiana learned she was pregnant, and Ling Feng postponed deciding what to do until he could consult Tesla and Ein about the risks posed by Sirin. After delivering meals around Schicksal, Ling Feng returned to the Imaginary Space, where Your Majesty noticed blood on her bed and he identified it as Rita’s.

• Bronya told Kiana she was pregnant, and Ling Feng apologized and said he would support her choice.
• Bronya warned that Sirin might take control of Kiana’s body later in the pregnancy, so Ling Feng planned to consult Tesla and Ein before deciding what to do.
• Kiana chose to leave the decision to Ling Feng, then went to the cafeteria and eagerly ate a large lunch.
• Ling Feng delivered food to Theresa, Tesla, Kallen, True Kiana, and Your Majesty while Bronya stayed with Kiana and Mei arrived at the cafeteria.
• Your Majesty refused most of her meal and complained about blood on her bed, so Ling Feng explained that Rita’s injuries had left the stains.

Ling Feng learned that Bella’s damaged pseudo-core could erase her human identity, and Ein proposed seeking Sirin’s help. Because Kiana was pregnant and waking Sirin could endanger her, the group debated whether to end the pregnancy, but they left without a solution.

• Ling Feng learned from Ein that if Bella’s pseudo-core shattered, she would revert to Benarous and lose her memories and personality.
• Ein proposed asking Sirin to repair Bella’s pseudo-core, but Ling Feng revealed that Kiana was pregnant and could not safely be used to awaken Sirin.
• Ein suggested ending Kiana’s pregnancy to protect her and awaken Sirin, while warning that Bella’s core could fail at any moment.
• Ling Feng gathered Ein, Tesla, both Kianas, Theresa, Mei, and Bronya to discuss Bella’s condition and Kiana’s pregnancy.
• Bronya supported ending the pregnancy, while True Kiana and Mei opposed the plan and feared Sirin would not help Bella.
• Tesla suggested asking the Queen to repair Bella’s pseudo-core, but Ling Feng said the Queen had the ability without knowing how to use it.

Bronya proposed using the newly built Ark System to enter Kiana’s consciousness and ask Sirin how to repair Bella’s failing pseudo-core. Ein and Kiana entered the system, but Sirin refused to help, leaving Bella’s fate unresolved.

• Bronya suggested connecting to Kiana’s consciousness through her Virtual Reality System, and Kiana agreed to risk the experiment to save Bella.
• With help from Ein and Tesla, Bronya rebuilt the system and named it the Ark System, then prepared Kiana for the connection.
• Ein joined Kiana inside the Ark System after Ling Feng decided his presence might make Sirin refuse to cooperate.
• Ein told Sirin that Bella’s pseudo-core could shatter and asked how to repair it, but Sirin dismissed Bella as a disposable follower.
• Ein challenged Sirin’s assumption that she could revive and regain her power under the group’s surveillance, leaving Sirin speechless.

Ein tried to bargain with Sirin for the method to revive her, offering to create a new body that could help her regain her strength. Sirin rejected every offer, leaving Ein without an agreement and confirming Ling Feng’s doubts.

• Ein offered to create Sirin a new body in exchange for her help with the resurrection method.
• Sirin refused, saying she would not yield to humans or accept Ein’s promises.
• Tesla was disappointed when Sirin’s refusal dashed her remaining hope.
• Ling Feng sighed as Ein continued trying to persuade Sirin inside the Ark System.
• Sirin remained unmoved and stopped responding, making no compromise.
