Chapter Summaries

Qian Qian and her companions confronted Bishop Piaqi Ao aboard the Adriatic Sea Queen and learned that the Roman Orthodox Church planned to use Silvia’s angelic power to erase science worldwide. Qian Qian distracted Piaqi Ao with questions about the plan’s consequences, giving Pandora the opening to rescue Silvia.

• The narrator shattered the reinforced door and entered the chamber with Qian Qian and Pandora, where Bishop Piaqi Ao awaited them.

• Piaqi Ao revealed that Silvia was unconscious behind the ice sphere and that the Church planned to destroy all scientific creations with the Adriatic Sea Queen.
• Qian Qian questioned how the Church could achieve its goal without also eliminating necessities such as clothing, food, and medicine, unsettling Piaqi Ao.
• Qian Qian cast a spell that disrupted the believers’ magic, and Pandora cut Silvia’s restraints and carried her away.

Chen Jun and his companions rescued Silvia from the Roman Orthodox Church and destroyed its Ice Warship fleet, but Viska recognized Silvia as the supposedly vanished Fallen Apostle Bellavella. Silvia remembered nothing of that past, and Pandora’s scan revealed that she was a Shilin Apostle, leaving the rescue mission’s mystery unresolved.

• Viska’s power caused an Energy Vacuum, but Silvia woke without recognizing Viska or remembering her past.
• Pandora scanned Silvia and identified her as a Shilin Apostle with no remaining Abyss Energy or memories identifying her former life.

The group debated Silvia’s identity as the former Fallen Apostle Bellavella and decided to take her back to Academy City rather than treat her as an enemy. After her examination, the Shilin Mainframes confirmed that her memories had been severely damaged and that her energy-dispersing ability activated under certain impacts, leaving the cause and extent of her condition unresolved.

• Viska sleepily described Bellavella as someone who had cared for and valued her, but Lin Xue doubted the account reflected reality.

• The narrator arranged for Vega and her elite scorpions to guard Silvia at the institute while Shilin Mainframes examined her.
• The Shilin Mainframes reported that Silvia was a modified Shilin Apostle with severe memory-core damage and an ability that dispersed nearby energy when triggered by certain impacts.

The Shilin group learned that Silvia’s Energy Vacuum could sabotage attempts to borrow her power, revealing Aleister’s plan to use her as a trap for the Roman Orthodox Church. Vega then reported that Last Order had refused recovery because she was with Accelerator, prompting the group to bring them and Misaka Mikoto to the laboratory to discuss the Clone Sisters’ future.

• Lin Xue explained that unauthorized attempts to use Silvia’s power triggered an Energy Vacuum, and she and the narrator inferred how Aleister had intended to weaponize that effect against the Roman Orthodox Church.

• The narrator gathered Ruiko, Accelerator, Last Order, and Misaka Mikoto to discuss how to handle the Misaka Clone Sisters after the Absolute Power Project.

The narrator negotiated the Misaka Sisters’ future with Mikoto and Accelerator, agreeing to protect them and take Accelerator in while Misaka 20001 chose to stay with him. Aleister accepted the arrangement but demanded Silvia back, and the chapter ended with the narrator sensing that something terrible was about to happen.

• The narrator explained that Viska was Pandora’s clone and the sole survivor of an earlier experiment, prompting Accelerator to offer an apology if the narrator protected Last Order.
• The narrator promised to care for every Misaka Sister, while Misaka 20001 insisted on remaining with Accelerator; the narrator took Accelerator into the Empire’s protection.

Shirai Kuroko revealed that Sikaro’s piracy ring had kept Judgment busy, before Vega and Lin Xue warned that three Star Ring Fragments threatened Earth with a stellar explosion, a heavy-metal planet, and a devastating asteroid swarm. With the Empire Fleet unable to stop the star safely and Sandora offering only partial solutions, A Jun welcomed Ding Dang’s sudden return as a possible source of help.

• Shirai Kuroko complained that a piracy ring selling counterfeit goods had forced Judgment officers to work overtime, and A Jun realized Sikaro was responsible.
• Sikaro offered to expand his counterfeit-goods business, while Vega reported that Lin Xue had foreseen the Star Ring Fragments approaching Earth.
• Lin Xue explained that the fragments would bring a huge, unstable star, a heavy-metal planet aimed at Earth, and an asteroid swarm that would bombard the planet.
• Lin Xue connected the fragments’ destructive mission to Viska’s past outburst, and A Jun decided to keep the truth from her.
• Sandora and Vega concluded that they could defend against the asteroid swarm and planet but lacked the technology to safely stop the star.
• Ding Dang returned to the institute, and A Jun hoped she could help avert the crisis.

Ding Dang offered to delete the dangerous star threatening Earth, while A Jun and the others organized defenses against the incoming asteroids and planned to involve humanity in the crisis. The chapter ended as Alaya began appearing to Archbishop Laura Stuart as a divine messenger, with A Jun watching from concealment.

• Ding Dang returned from the God Realm after failing her Elementary Creation Certificate exam, then found a method to delete the collapsing star by altering its world's Management Terminal.
• A Jun ordered Tawell to build a Sniper Star Cannon and had Sandora assemble a planetary defense fleet to shield Earth from the asteroid bombardment.
• Lin Xue identified likely asteroid impact sites near Europe, Japan, and Antarctica, and proposed that humanity help defend its own planet.
• A Jun and Older Sister agreed to have Laura Stuart use her political influence to prepare for the impacts, while A Jun arranged for Alaya to perform a staged miracle.
• A Jun took Alaya to Laura's private Prayer Room at Lambeth Palace, where Alaya began appearing in a supernatural golden light as Laura knelt in reverence.

The narrator and Alaya warned Laura of an approaching cosmic disaster and tasked her with evacuating Western European coastal cities, then encountered Kanzaki in London. Back in Academy City, the narrator rejected Aleister’s attempt to reclaim Silvia and began preparing to pressure him with the Empire’s military and information networks.

• Alaya delivered a staged revelation to Laura, who received a holographic record and accepted the mission to evacuate coastal cities ahead of a tsunami expected in two months.

• Older Sister told the narrator that Kiyama Haruue’s students had awakened and that Kiyama was waiting with them in the institute’s Medical Area.

After Ruiko Saten learned that a cosmic disaster threatened Earth, Wood arranged for Sandora’s fleet to surround the planet and forced Aleister to submit rather than fight. The fleet began reassuring humanity and preparing for a formal meeting with world leaders as the chapter ended with Academy City adjusting to the alien arrival.

• Kiyama Haruue thanked Wood for helping the comatose children awaken, and Ruiko Saten skipped school to ask whether the coming cosmic catastrophe was real.
• Wood confirmed the danger to Ruiko Saten and offered her a role coordinating local ground forces.
• Laura reported that European governments had largely ignored her evacuation warning, so Wood challenged Aleister to a direct confrontation three days later.
• Sandora’s fleet surrounded Earth, blocking the stars and alarming governments around the world.
• Wood told Aleister that his forces were waiting in Mars orbit, and Aleister submitted to the Empire’s orders rather than resist.
• Wood’s group released public information about the disaster and their intentions, while Laura arranged a formal meeting with world leaders.

Wood prepared humanity for the asteroid disaster, then joined Sandora aboard the flagship as the United Fleet fought to protect Earth. As the fleet held against the impacts, Wood noticed a mysterious girl in Ding Dang’s transformed forest, and Lin Xue summoned him to the Officer Lounge about a discovery.

• Lin Xue and Qian Qian dressed Wood for a broadcast to world leaders, where he read a scripted announcement confirming the alien Empire’s presence.
• Wood described the defense preparations, including the United Fleet’s planetary shield and a newly developed Sniper Star Cannon, while humanity prepared for the predicted impacts.
• The first asteroids struck Earth’s defenses, and the fleet intercepted a growing barrage as governments managed public panic and unrest.
• Wood and Qian Qian joined Sandora aboard the flagship, where Sandora reported that the shield could hold for several more days and questioned why Lin Xue’s predicted impacts might still reach Earth.
• Wood learned that Pandora was bombarding asteroids with Energy Annihilation Bombs, then wandered through Ding Dang’s forest and glimpsed a girl in a green dress whom the ship’s scanners could not detect.
• Lin Xue told Wood to hurry to the Officer Lounge because she and the others had found something interesting.

A Jun and the fleet investigated alien wreckage, received a chaotic report from Ruiko Saten on Earth, and intercepted asteroids before confronting a star summoned by a Star Ring Fragment. After Ding Dang erased the star, A Jun entered the vine-covered core compartment and found her transformed into a tall young woman.

• Sandora identified asteroid-embedded machinery as an alien spacecraft wreck, and A Jun ordered the Shilin Mainframes to scan incoming celestial bodies for more wreckage.
• Ruiko Saten reported that she had used Shilin Soldiers to stop an ability-user crime in Academy City, while Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko briefly crowded into the call.
• A Jun and Qian Qian flew an Assault Ship into the asteroid field, clearing meteors until Sandora escorted them back and scolded them.
• Lin Xue spotted gravitational distortions, and the fleet watched a star more than three hundred times the size of the sun appear before it vanished as Ding Dang erased it.
• A Jun entered the vine-covered core compartment to find Ding Dang and discovered a tall, green-haired young woman standing where the little girl had been.

A Jun discovered that Ding Dang could assume a powerful, human-sized God Form, though she quickly changed back after her divine power began turning the flagship into plants. The crew then examined a second meteorite containing a transforming fighter made by humans from another world, but its age and history remained unknown.

• Ding Dang revealed her God Form to A Jun, demanded candy, and explained that she had grown larger to use her divine power.
• Ding Dang changed back into her tiny form after her power began transforming the flagship, and she asked A Jun to keep her God Form secret.
• Sandora questioned whether Ding Dang was truly a low-level goddess after seeing the scale of her power.
• A Lower Commander reported that the fleet had recovered a second meteorite containing mechanical structures.
• A Jun and the others watched researchers uncover a transforming fighter from the meteorite, and Lin Xue sensed that humans from a distant world had built it.
• Qian Qian determined that the fighter had been pulled into their universe by the Star Ring Fragment, leaving its age impossible to establish.

As the asteroid bombardment eased, three meteorites appeared inside Earth's shields through a spatial loophole, while Pandora volunteered to intercept further threats. A few hours later, Silvia collapsed and began dissipating; Alaya suspected that something deep in her subconscious had made her deny her own existence.

• Researchers confirmed that the wrecked craft came from another universe and had been made for beings with human-like bodies.
• Three meteorites appeared inside Earth's shields and struck the ground after several Gravity Interdiction Warships lost contact.
• Pandora persuaded Sandora and A Jun to let her intercept threats inside the atmosphere.
• Older Sister summoned A Jun after Silvia collapsed, and researchers found that Silvia's body was becoming unstable and dissipating.
• Alaya examined Silvia and explained that her condition might stem from a deep loss of self-awareness.

A Jun and his allies discovered that Silvia's collapse could trigger an Energy Vacuum capable of destroying the Empire Fleet and Earth, while evidence suggested a conspiracy but did not implicate Aleister conclusively. With Alaya holding Silvia for only thirty minutes, the group faced a dangerous plan to awaken her that might also revive Bellavella.

• Pandora reported that the missing Gravity Interdiction Warships had lost their energy and crashed into the Nearby Sea Area at the same time Silvia fell unconscious and Alaya began suppressing her.
• A Jun and Older Sister suspected Silvia's powers were being manipulated, and A Jun ordered Vega to monitor Aleister while covertly taking control of Academy City and infiltrating its Library.
• Aleister admitted that Silvia had appeared in Academy City without a trace of her past and had been important to one of his plans, but denied that the plan had begun or that he had harmed her.
• A strange electromagnetic wave entered the Third Laboratory, causing Silvia's energy to collapse; Alaya warned that Silvia's death could engulf every Shilin warship above Earth in an Energy Vacuum.
• Vega urged the commanders to evacuate Earth, but A Jun refused to retreat and ordered Alaya to find a way to save Silvia.
• Alaya said she could suppress Silvia for about thirty minutes and proposed reactivating her soul, warning that Bellavella's surviving soul fragments might awaken too.

The narrator ordered Alaya to begin Soul Awakening for Silvia while launching an investigation into the force behind her rampage. At Aleister’s sealed building, the narrator and Sandora were trapped by Aiwass, whose hatred of Sandora revealed a history of conflict with the Empire Army.

• The narrator accepted the fifty-fifty risk that the Fallen Apostle might awaken instead of Silvia and ordered Alaya to begin the ritual.
• The narrator mobilized security teams to trace the electromagnetic wave behind Silvia’s rampage and asked Sandora to prepare for a possible fight.
• Vega reported that Aleister’s building had sealed itself off and sent a distress signal, so the narrator and Sandora led soldiers there.
• Musubi Kazakiri tried to guide them inside, but the narrator dispelled the energy threatening her and sent her to safety; Aleister then identified Aiwass as the cause of the crisis.
• Aiwass trapped the group in a sealed space and confronted Sandora, who recognized Aiwass as a survivor of the Aiworsen Clan and dismissed its threat of revenge.

Aiwass trapped Sandora, A Jun, and Vega’s Armored Scorpions inside a Soul World reconstructed from her people’s memories and attacked them with their spectral ancestors. A Jun ignited the world’s energy, damaging Aiwass and weakening her control until the real world began to return, but she survived and continued regenerating.

• A Jun found records showing that Sandora’s Empire had exterminated the Aiworsen race and destroyed its home system after the Aiworsens were infected by Abyss Energy.
• Aiwass revealed that she had spent ages preparing revenge and transported Sandora, A Jun, and Vega’s soldiers into her Soul World, where countless Aiworsen ancestors attacked them.
• Sandora explained that Aiwass had recreated her people, their homeland, and their Knights Order from soul memories, while Aiwass hid nearby and the specters endlessly regenerated.
• A Jun ordered Vega’s soldiers to enter overload state, then used Energy Deflagration to ignite the Soul World and inflict severe damage on Aiwass.
• The Soul World began losing control and the real world reappeared; Aiwass charged at the group, but Vega’s Dual Blades struck her down as she rapidly regenerated.

Aiwass transformed into a Memory Mirror and trapped Sandora in a duel against a replica of her former self. After Sandora defeated the replica and returned injured, she revealed that Aiwass was a false soul created from the Aiworsen’s desire for revenge, leaving Aiwass confronted with the truth of her own identity.

• Aiwass’s Soul World recovered as she transformed into a Memory Mirror that could replicate Sandora’s former self.
• Sandora entered the mirror alone to defeat her replica, while A Jun and Vega waited outside.
• Sandora returned victorious but injured, explaining that the replica lacked her Abyssal Form.
• Sandora destroyed the Memory Mirror, leaving Aiwass badly damaged and unable to escape.
• Sandora revealed that Aiwass was a fragment of Aiworsen Race Consciousness, created to carry out revenge and given memories of a homeland she had never seen.
• Sandora pointed out that Aiwass had developed a self, shown by her attachment to the appearance of Old Fox’s wife.

A Jun and Sandora watched Aiwass die as the Soul World collapsed, then returned to Academy City to check on the others and consider the consequences of Aleister's death. The immediate crisis had ended, but Aleister's death left the Science Side's future uncertain, while A Jun found Silvia awake and apparently unaware of what had happened.

• Sandora confronted Aiwass about her feelings for Aleister, and Aiwass faded away after declaring that she had fulfilled her duty.
• The Soul World collapsed, and A Jun and Sandora found that Aleister's life-support system had stopped inside his sealed building.
• A Jun worried about the power vacuum Aleister's death would leave, then learned through Spiritual Connection that Silvia had awakened and Alaya had gone to sleep.
• A Jun and Sandora rode on Armored Scorpions through Academy City and encountered Ruiko Saten, who was helping patrol amid unrest over the Heterogeneous Conspiracy Theory.
• A Jun returned to the research institute, where Viska greeted him and Silvia said she had fainted from hypoglycemia, unaware of the crisis around her.

The recovered Star Ring Fragment was secured aboard the Empire Admiral, and Sandora revealed a stable World Gate connection to Azeroth that brought Sylvanas to Shadow City. Sylvanas reported that Azeroth had achieved peace under the Savior Army, while Sandora proposed using her to make Aleister an undead ruler of Academy City.

• The recovery fleet returned with an unstable Star Ring Fragment, which Asidda and Asidora suppressed before it was sealed in the Empire Admiral's isolation chamber.
• The fleet passed inspection, and Sandora told A Jun that the final asteroid was expected in three hours and that the Sniper Star Cannon was ready for the Heavy Metal Planet.
• Sandora proposed letting Aleister continue controlling Academy City and brought A Jun to meet Sylvanas.
• Sandora explained that Tawell had established stable World Gate channels, including one connecting Azeroth to Shadow City through the Azeroth Great Temple.
• Sandora suggested turning Aleister into an undead creature, and Sylvanas reported that the Savior Army had helped bring peace to Azeroth.

The narrator revived Aleister as an undead and forced him to resume serving, then took control of the Hyperspace Sniper Star Cannon as a massive foreign celestial body appeared near Earth. He expanded his perception to locate the target and prepared to fire.

• The narrator and Sylvanas staged a grotesque ritual and transformed Aleister into an undead.
• Aleister awoke, recognized the narrator, and agreed to obey his commands after being threatened.
• Qian Qian, Lin Xue, and Pandora eagerly volunteered to fire the Sniper Star Cannon, but Sandora assigned the shot to the narrator.
