Chapter Summaries

Anweina trained Busujima Saeko to become a maid, revealing that Saeko excelled at ordinary household skills but could not match Anweina’s supernatural abilities. Suigintou asked to see the outside world before the Space-Time Management Center announced that her home world had been found and she could return in twenty-four hours.

• Rider told Wood that Suigintou had grown attached to him and might be reluctant to leave.
• Wood returned home and found that Anweina had made Busujima Saeko a maid so she could repay the household for supporting her.
• Busujima Saeko earned perfect scores in household skills, while Anweina demonstrated far more powerful maid abilities and proposed increasingly impossible training.
• Suigintou asked Wood to take her outside the next day, and he agreed to show her K City.
• The Space-Time Management Center reported that the Rozen Maiden World had been located and that a stable passage would open in twenty-four hours.
• Wood told Suigintou that she could go home, and she quietly agreed.

A Jun and the others took Suigintou on a private outing at Lin Xue’s ecological park, where she played with them before the park was wrecked in their usual chaos. At sunset, Suigintou prepared to return to her world, and A Jun feared their parting would change their relationship beyond repair.

• A Jun carried Suigintou in a huge backpack while Older Sister, Qian Qian, Lin Xue, and the others drew attention on their way to the ecological park.
• Suigintou emerged from the bag covered in stolen snacks, and Sandora swiftly cleaned the food off her before Older Sister confronted her about wasting it.
• Suigintou planned to sit alone and read, but Lin Xue closed the park so she could spend the day with everyone in private.
• Suigintou joined the others in playing, and their fighting and training destroyed much of the park; Lin Xue told A Jun that his sister had agreed to pay for repairs.
• As sunset fell, Suigintou prepared to return to her world, and A Jun worried he would never see her smiling with them again.

Suigintou left for her own world after saying goodbye to A Jun and the others, but secretly returned to retrieve her suitcase and planned to visit again. When the family learned she had tricked them into giving her World Tree sprouts as return tickets, they prepared a prank, but Suigintou fell asleep before their plan could begin.

• Suigintou told A Jun she would return to her world, promised to bring him black tea someday, and disappeared after a gust of wind blew her off the boulder.
• Suigintou left on an express train with a mountain of souvenirs, while Qian Qian said the family missed her because they considered her family.
• A Jun found Suigintou's suitcase and learned from Ding Dang that Suigintou had requested two World Tree sprouts for her return.
• The family realized the sprouts could serve as emergency travel passes and gathered before dawn to ambush Suigintou when she came back.
• Suigintou sneaked into the house, searched for A Jun, and fell asleep on the sofa while the invisible family watched.

The household’s attempt to punish Suigintou with a haunted-house prank failed, and she returned home after helping Little Hui live an ordinary life. Lin Xue then announced that the missing Lilina had been found.

• The Empire Leaders tried to scare Suigintou, but she slept through the opening plan and calmly explored the haunted house after waking.
• Anweina crawled out of the television but got stuck, and the group abandoned the prank as Suigintou revealed she had only meant to hide for one night and scare them.
• Suigintou told Wood that Little Hui could live an ordinary life and said she had scared Shinku by calling her little sister before teleporting away.
• Older Sister took Suigintou upstairs for criticism after breakfast, while Lin Xue announced that the Intelligence Department had found Lilina.

After locating Lilina’s world, A Jun and the others prepared to retrieve her, but their plans halted when Suigintou suddenly grew weak and began losing her ability to move. The experts could find no cause for her decline, and Older Sister ended the chapter by asking A Jun to remember how Suigintou had first come to life.

• Lin Xue located Lilina, and Tawell showed the group the naturally formed world where Lilina had become involved in a war.
• A Jun and the others began planning a full-scale expedition once the traveler rush eased, while Suigintou suddenly became weak and drowsy.
• Lin Xue sent Suigintou to the World Tree Temple, where researchers, Raven 001, and Ding Dang examined her but found no damage to her body or soul.
• Suigintou continued losing movement and sensation despite the temple’s protection, and Ding Dang warned that her power could only restore her temporarily.
• Older Sister asked A Jun whether he remembered how Suigintou had first begun moving.

The narrator and Older Sister discovered that Suigintou had moved because her obsession with finding Father compensated for her incomplete body, but that power faded after she returned. Suigintou chose the safest repair plan, and the Empire began gathering alchemy experts from across worlds to restore her body.

• Older Sister explained that Suigintou’s normal Rosa Mystica could not drive her incomplete body, and the narrator realized her obsession with finding Father had once made up for its flaws.
• The experts proposed extracting Suigintou’s mental component into a new soul and body, repairing her missing abdomen, or seeking the Seven Dragon Balls.
• The narrator rejected soul reassembly because it would destroy Suigintou’s original body and Rosa Mystica, then favored the lower-risk body repair plan despite its uncertain success.
• Suigintou woke, listened to the plans, and told the narrator to fix her, choosing body repair.
• Kael'thas and Jaina began recruiting alchemy masters, while Laura offered technical materials and examiners across the New World volunteered to gather alchemical knowledge.

Chen prepared to leave for the world where Lilina had disappeared, while Suigintou remained behind to recover. He led Qian Qian, Older Sister, Sakura, and a fleet of Heroic Spirits through Shadow Space toward the isolated world.

• Chen left Suigintou in the temple for treatment and promised that he would return, while she fell asleep.
• Sandora stayed behind to oversee the Macro World network and Time-Space Administration, and Lin Xue gave Chen three packets to open after three days.
• Qian Qian and Older Sister joined Chen's expedition, while Pandora and Viska organized the fleet's departure.
• Chen assembled Cu Chulainn, the Heroic Spirits, and Sakura, whose Crystal Saintess form would relay communications through Avalon.
• Chen's fleet boarded the Empire Admiral and arrived in an unfamiliar starfield after crossing Shadow Space.

After arriving in a universe cut off from Shadow Fortress, Lin Xue’s trick bag warned Lin Xue’s companions to hide the Empire Fleet inside a Red Giant Star. They established an outpost, restored communications through Sakura and the Ai Er Light, and Lin Xue asked Lin Xue what she was planning.

• The Empire Admiral arrived in a new universe, where an Information Barrier blocked contact with Shadow Fortress and erased its stored coordinates and Temple Legion protocols.
• Lin Xue opened Lin Xue’s three trick bags in the wrong order and found the real message telling the Empire Fleet to cloak, hide near an uninhabited celestial body, and transfer temporarily to New Eden Federation ships.
• Lin Xue sent the Empire Fleet into a Red Giant Star, where it began building an outpost around a forming White Dwarf Star while trying to contact Lilina.
• Lin Xue joined Reno and Zeratul aboard the Ai Er Light, and Sakura restored intermittent communications with Shadow Fortress through her connection to Avalon.
• The fleet relayed its World Constants data and downloaded Void Coordinates to rebuild its Star Chart, after which Lin Xue asked Lin Xue what her plan was.

Lin Xue confirmed that a large Empire Fleet had hidden inside a Red Giant Star, while Sandora reported that Silvia and Gilgamesh had gone missing. Chen Jun found the two stowaways aboard a Battlecruiser, where Gilgamesh explained how she had escaped Little Pao Pao and accidentally kidnapped Silvia.

• Lin Xue told Chen Jun that the Empire Fleet was concealed inside a Red Giant Star because its arrival could cause trouble.
• Sandora informed Chen Jun that Gilgamesh and Silvia had disappeared and might have boarded a Battlecruiser.
• Chen Jun ordered Reno to search the fleet, and a Dark Templar found Gilgamesh and Silvia wandering near a Battlecruiser's reactor.
• Chen Jun confronted the pair, but an isolation door separated him from them before he blasted through it.
• Gilgamesh explained that she had distracted Little Pao Pao with toys and lollipops, escaped, and mistaken Silvia for military personnel before taking her along.

After Jill and Silvia stowed away aboard the Ai Er Light, the fleet discovered a battle between two groups of chaotic, heavily armed ships in an asteroid belt. When the fleet tried to stop the fighting and capture potential guides, both sides joined forces and attacked, prompting Reno to order a full-strength response.

• A Jun captured Jill and Silvia, brought them to the Ai Er Light's Command Center, and discussed whether Silvia should be sent back.
• A probe was destroyed near an asteroid belt, so the fleet went on combat alert and cloaked before moving toward the location.
• A Jun and Reno identified the ships fighting there as likely pirates and decided to intervene without destroying them, hoping to find guides.
• The Federation fleet attacked the battlefield, but the two groups stopped fighting each other and turned their weapons on the fleet.
• Reno confirmed they were pirates and ordered the Federation fleet to open fire at full strength.

Chen Jun’s fleet destroyed the pirates, then endured a vast, inexplicable explosion that Empire Admiral identified as a mass-energy attack. As the fleet concealed itself, a much larger, patchwork force arrived and began searching the battlefield.

• Chen Jun ordered the pirates captured, but an unknown attack detonated matter across the battlefield and hurled the Federation fleet with its shockwave.
• The fleet’s ships remained intact, though about 2,600 Federation soldiers were injured when they were thrown around inside.
• Empire Admiral identified the blast as a nuclear reaction that used battlefield materials other than iron as fuel, prompting Viska to warn that the world’s technology needed reassessment.
• The Shipboard Mainframe detected a spatial rift and approaching objects, so Chen Jun reactivated the fleet’s cloaking field.
• A large, diverse fleet bearing a clover insignia emerged and sent fighters and Assault Ships to scan the battlefield.

A lost Federation fleet made contact with Major General Jane Walton of the Gotak Free Kingdom, who offered aid and warned that they could not return home. The fleets jumped to a Free Kingdom colony, where the Federation saw a planet protected by a vast orbital ring.

• The Federation fleet revealed itself and opened communications with the unidentified force, whose commander introduced himself as Major General Jane Walton of the Gotak Free Kingdom.
• James Raynor claimed the Federation had suffered severe damage and asked for aid, while Jane acknowledged his forces might have caused the explosion and invited them to a nearby colony.
• Jane suggested the Federation had come from another universe and warned that it could not return home, prompting the Federation to prepare precautions before following his fleet.
• The fleets performed a Space Jump to a life-filled system, where the Federation detected colonies and a planetary ring capable of shielding the third planet.

The narrator and Jane’s fleet discovered that Planet Jettas had been seized by an unknown force, and the Federal fleet joined Jane in fighting to retake it. Pandora and Viska devastated the enemy’s probing fleet, while the narrator prepared a photon barrage against the remaining attackers.

• Qian Qian asked Jane about Jettas’s ancient Star Ring, and Jane explained that it supplied the planet with inexhaustible energy before abruptly cutting communications.
• Jane restored contact and reported that Jettas’s settlements had been occupied, prompting the narrator to offer help and order the fleet to prepare for battle.
• Planet Jettas’s defenses attacked Jane’s returning fleet, while an enemy force emerged from the planet and trapped the fleet with a spatial-distortion field.
• The enemy’s three hundred warships attacked, damaging thirteen Battlecruisers, and the narrator sent Pandora and Viska into the battle.
• Pandora and Viska unleashed thousands of floating cannons and destroyed the enemy’s probing force as the narrator asked Jane’s fleet to clear room for a photon barrage.

The Federation and Free Kingdom forces gained the upper hand in the space battle after Pandora and Viska crippled the enemy flagship by tearing out its power system. With the enemy fleet defeated but planetary defenses still active, the Federation prepared to launch a landing operation.

• The enemy fleet attacked with a chaotic mix of weapons, but the Federation and Free Kingdom forces gradually overwhelmed it.
• Pandora and Viska secretly boarded the enemy flagship, fought its Combat Robots, and ripped out its power system.
• Viska pushed the enormous engine toward the Federation fleet while Pandora clung to the flagship as it broke apart, and Protoss carriers retrieved both girls.
• Jane reported that the enemy ships in space had been eliminated but requested help reclaiming the colony from the surface defenses.
• The narrator agreed to send unmanned forces to seize key facilities, ordered landing preparations, and directed Reno to send Ghost operatives to Pandora's coordinates.

The narrator used a concealed Protoss landing force to help Jane retake Jettas while investigating signs of psionic energy and technology linked to the Empire. After the Free Light Cavalry surrendered, the Federation fleet landed on Jettas, where the narrator was left with evidence that the strange universe might conceal a lost history.

• The narrator sent stealth carriers to deploy Combat Robots and Colossi on Jettas, where they disabled much of the Northern Hemisphere's anti-air defenses and helped Jane's forces defeat the Free Light Cavalry.
• Viska returned to the narrator after stealing a battleship engine, and Tawell identified its Morrison-Maude Structure as technology once used by the Empire.
• A Ghost squad reported finding active psionic radiation, psionic crystal dust, Empire-made alloy fragments, and possible evidence of something beneath a crater on Jettas.
• Jane reported that the Free Light Cavalry had surrendered after the surprise attack and praised the Federation's landing force for helping him reclaim the colony.
• The narrator and Older Sister discussed the bizarre state of the universe, and Jane allowed the Federation fleet to remain in orbit after it landed on Jettas.

While waiting for General Jane in Jettas's administrative center, Chen Jun and his companions learned that the mysterious Shepherds controlled the wider region and that lost fleets arrived there frequently. Jane's rumors about a powerful, erratic cult in the Great Nebula pointed to Lilina, and the Queen of the Gotak Free Kingdom requested a meeting.

• Chen Jun, Qian Qian, Reno, and Older Sister discussed Jettas's disorderly city and its wildly mismatched technology while waiting for Jane.
• Jane returned, greeted Reno with a bruising embrace, and declined a public celebration in favor of a possible drink.
• Chen Jun asked Jane about the pirates and the region's tangled politics, and Jane warned that the Shepherds would eventually contact them and showed fear of their power.
• Older Sister asked whether other fleets had arrived in the region, and Jane described a rumored cult that had appeared in the eastern sector of the Great Nebula.
• Chen Jun recognized the cult's erratic actions as Lilina's work and decided to investigate the Great Nebula.
• Jane told Chen Jun that the Queen of the Gotak Free Kingdom wanted to meet them.

The narrator explored Jettas with Qian Qian, Viska, and Pandora while the Protoss scouts set out to investigate. Their sightseeing ended when Jane reported that the queen’s fleet had been attacked and trapped in the Oblique Star Belt, leaving the narrator facing a rescue mission.

• The narrator postponed his trip to the Great Nebula Region and sent Protoss warriors to investigate the situation around Lilina.
• The narrator toured Jettas with Qian Qian, Viska, and Pandora, observing its many alien species and trying the planet’s unusual food.
• Qian Qian and Viska shared theories about the psionic crater, while Pandora identified the damaged star ring as a Planetary Shield Generator.
• Jane summoned the narrator to the military and administrative center and reported that the queen’s Victory Glory fleet had been attacked in the Oblique Star Belt.
• Jane asked the narrator to use his powerful warships to rescue the queen, whose fleet was in grave danger.

Chen’s fleet raced to rescue the Free Kingdom’s Queen, but Imperial warships ambushed them with Star River Main Guns. After Viska helped shield the fleet from further targeting, Chen’s probes revealed the Queen Fleet near defeat against more than two hundred Eternal-class Motherships.

• Reno explained that the Queen’s fleet was trapped in the Oblique Star Belt and that the rescue force’s priority was to save her flagship.
• Chen accelerated toward the battle zone and briefed the Heroic Spirits on their mission, but an Imperial Star River Main Gun struck Ai Er Light.
• The fleet survived a second Star River bombardment, and Zeratul ordered it to press forward despite the attack.
• Viska adjusted the fleet’s psionic shields to interfere with the enemy mothership’s radar, allowing the fleet to approach the battlefield.
• Chen’s probes revealed the Queen Fleet surrounded by enemy forces, with more than two hundred Eternal-class Motherships facing it.

The Empire Emperor’s fleet was attacked by unidentified Imperial warships while trying to rescue the Queen Fleet, and the battle forced the Federation ships and their allies into a desperate fight. As the enemy’s Star River Main Guns fired again, Gilgamesh prepared to unleash Ea alongside Medusa and Medea.

• The Empire Admiral reported that the unidentified Imperial ships ignored ceasefire orders and were reverse-locating their communications, so the Empire Emperor cut contact and issued a final ultimatum.
• The unidentified fleet launched a Hyperspace Strike, and the Empire Emperor ordered the battlecruisers to form a Combined Shield and the fleet to advance under Reno’s command.
• Pandora and Viska intercepted enemy Assault Ships with floating cannons, while Qian Qian slowed the fighters and the Heroic Spirits joined the battle.
• Gilgamesh unleashed Gate of Babylon, turning both Noble Phantasms and toys into explosive projectiles, but the barrage exhausted her without destroying the enemy fighters.
• Gilgamesh drew Ea as the enemy Star River Main Guns fired, and Medusa and Medea remained beside her as the charged Sword of Rupture met the approaching attack.

The Federation fleet defeated the Imperial Army attack by spreading the Star River Main Guns’ psionic barrage among its ships with Energy Scavengers, forcing the Imperial forces to retreat. After rescuing the battered Queen Fleet, the Federation docked Ai Er Light with its flagship and prepared to repair it.

• Pandora and Viska’s weapons and the Federation forces damaged the Imperial assault ships, while Gilgamesh, Medea, and Medusa stayed behind to confront the incoming barrage.
• Qian Qian slowed the barrage, Ai Er Light’s curvature trap failed to stop it, and Gilgamesh exhausted herself trying to block it with Ea Sword.
• The narrator rescued Gilgamesh and explained that the Federation fleet’s Energy Scavengers were absorbing the barrage, allowing Reno to rotate ships through the front line and weaken the attack.
• The Imperial forces retreated after losing many fighters and assault ships and exhausting the energy of a hundred Eternal-class Motherships.
• The narrator ordered contact with the Queen Fleet, and the Federation guided the damaged Victory Glory out of the asteroid belt.
• Ai Er Light docked with the Queen Flagship so the Federation could begin repairs, and officers from the Gotak Free Kingdom crossed the passage to meet them.
