Chapter Summaries

The group investigated a mysterious seventh floor that appeared atop City No. 2 High School’s Junior High Department building at midnight. Lin Xue suspected its frightening atmosphere was connected to something deeper, but the group had not yet discovered the cause.

• The narrator, Qian Qian, Lin Xue, Hakurei Reimu, Yuyuko, Ibuki Suika, and their summoned forces entered the school to investigate its haunting.
• Lin Xue led the group to Building No. 1 and explained how a teacher had discovered its nonexistent seventh floor during a midnight patrol.
• When the midnight bell rang, a seventh story appeared on the building, and the group confirmed that it physically existed rather than being an illusion.
• Lin Xue warned Qian Qian not to destroy the energy field because doing so might seriously injure people, then led everyone up to the strange floor.
• The group explored the dark corridor, where Lin Xue suggested its atmosphere reflected primal fears, though she said the explanation was not that simple.

Lin Xue, Qian Qian, and the others searched a haunted school floor for trapped people and discovered that an entire classroom had been hidden from view. They collapsed the ghost domain while Qian Qian protected the concealed room, but something appeared as the space vanished.

• Lin Xue led the group through eerie classrooms while her undead soldiers searched for ghosts and trapped people.
• The group found the blood-red classroom at the corridor’s end, but it was empty, and Lin Xue warned that using powerful abilities could kill people linked to the ghost domain.
• Qian Qian noticed that the corridor’s classroom spacing concealed one missing room, and Lin Xue concluded that people were trapped inside it.
• Lin Xue shared her senses with Qian Qian, who froze the hidden room while Wood disrupted the ghost domain and Reimu and the Skeleton Mages prepared to destroy anything that emerged.
• The ghost domain shattered, leaving the group on the roof with the protected room reduced to broken bricks and tiles, as something appeared nearby.

After Lin Xue’s team destroyed the ghost domain and rescued the missing students, Lin Xue explained her theory that human fears could manifest as supernatural phenomena. Back home, Wood questioned Anweina and realized that ordinary people’s weak psychic manifestations might usually be suppressed by stronger psychics, then remembered Suigintou was waiting for him.

• Wood and the others destroyed the anomalies formed from the collapsing ghost domain, and the response team took the unconscious students for treatment.
• Lin Xue explained that the missing students’ fears had shaped the ghost domain and proposed that supernatural incidents arose from the human heart, with more participants producing larger manifestations.
• Wood asked Anweina about ghosts and learned that psychic things could appear in reality without great power if the right conditions were met.
• Wood reasoned that the agents’ stronger psychic power and Lin Xue’s abilities might suppress supernatural incidents as they formed, while already-real spirit-manifested objects could persist.
• Anweina reminded Wood that Suigintou was probably still waiting for him, and he realized he had forgotten her.

After investigating supernatural incidents caused by human mental worlds intruding into reality, the group used Sandora’s psychic power and radar to locate the person responsible. They prepared to surround the target in the Old City District and moved in to confront him.

• The narrator returned home and found Suigintou waiting for him; she clung to him, fell asleep, and spent the night wrapped in a blanket beside him.
• The narrator told Sandora about the materialized mental world, and Lin Xue arrived to discuss the supernatural incidents and the research into collected items.
• Sandora explained that the supernatural objects carried energy fields produced by human mental worlds, while Lin Xue proposed using psychic suppression to expose the culprit.
• Sandora suppressed mental activation across K City and surrounding areas while the radar identified a single resistant target in the Old City District.
• The narrator ordered Raven Squad and the Heroic Spirit Squad to surround the target as Sandora sent nearby civilians to safety, and the group set out to confront him.

Sandora and the others surrounded a shabby noodle shop expecting to capture a dangerous enemy, but found a hungry, filthy girl carrying an altered Empire Information Terminal she called the Holy Disc. After the girl’s failed attacks and summoning, Lin Xue presented her with three similar discs and asked which one she had lost.

• Sandora and the others sealed off the old district and confronted a frightened girl who emerged from the noodle shop, apologizing for causing trouble while looking for food.
• The girl said she had not known the world lacked summoning magic, and Sandora took a modified, unregistered Empire Information Terminal from her pouch.
• The girl attacked with a Satellite Cannon, then opened a summoning gate for Remona, but the two-headed wolf vanished because she was too hungry to summon it properly.
• Lin Xue recognized that the confrontation had been a misunderstanding and showed the girl three differently colored Information Terminals, asking which disc was hers.

The narrator's group brought Milia home after the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons ended, and learned that the starving girl had come from another world called Moblado. Her ability to use a Holy Disc and summon Empire satellite strikes raised questions about how she crossed worlds, while Moblado's possible supply of functioning Empire relics drew the group's interest.

• Lin Xue drafted an official report that credited the mysterious organization Boundless Love with resolving the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons and worried about explaining the operation to her grandfather.
• Milia told the group that she came from Moblado, called her device a Holy Disc, and said she had been stranded on Earth for over a month while searching for food and a way home.
• Sandora concluded that Milia's summoning magic had caused spiritual disturbances that released nightmares and likely triggered the recent supernatural incidents around K City.
• The narrator promised Milia that the group might send her home, then brought her to their house, where Anweina took her to bathe and find clothes.
• After hearing the account, Older Sister and Sandora questioned how Milia had crossed worlds without being detected, and the group considered whether her Shilin Apostle-like powers explained it.
• Sandora and the narrator suspected that Moblado contained functioning Empire relics, possibly in large numbers.

After Milia arrived in Shadow City, she recognized its Imperial technology as the Sacred Relics and Holy Discs revered on her world, Moblado. The group agreed to study her Information Terminal and began addressing the supernatural fallout, while the terminal’s unusual lack of Imperial identification codes left the origins of Moblado’s legacy unexplained.

• The narrator remembered tying Suigintou to her bed, and Suigintou escaped, set traps, and attacked him in a rage after triggering them herself.
• Sandora opened a Teleportation Gate, and Lilina led Milia into Shadow City, where Milia recognized its Psionic Towers as Sacred Relics.
• The narrator and the others told Milia that they had created the Sacred Relics and Holy Discs, and Milia agreed to let them study her Information Terminal.
• The group sent ravens and heroic spirits to clear lingering supernatural effects, while Anweina collected the self-aware supernatural items and made the mansion basement their home.
• The group examined Milia’s Information Terminal and found that, unlike ordinary Imperial Army equipment, it had no serial number or identification code.

The Shilin Apostles analyzed Milia’s abilities and learned more about her mysterious origins, but they still had no way to locate Moblado. As A Jun and Sandora discussed the restored Star Ring, Milia recognized it as the Sky Corridor and reacted with alarm.

• Sandora explained that Milia’s summoning spell projected psychic phenomena, while Lin Xue said Milia’s presence appeared vague and unstable in her prophecies.
• Lin Xue and the others confirmed they had no coordinates or records that could help them find Moblado.
• Milia revealed that she belonged to a small religious organization and trusted the Shilin Apostles because she believed they were the sages who created the Sacred Relics.
• A Jun and Sandora discussed Tawell’s assembly of Viska’s damaged Star Ring while walking beside the canal.
• Milia saw the holographic image of the shattered ring and exclaimed that it was the Sky Corridor.

After learning that the damaged Inner Ring Belt was paired with the Sky Corridor in Milia’s world, Chen Jun’s group prepared to use the star rings’ resonance to locate Moblado. Lin Xue then warned that an unknown, powerful enemy would soon trigger a war spreading into deep space, and the chapter ended with her revealing a new deck of Prophecy Cards.

• Milia recognized the shattered star ring as another Sky Corridor, and Sandora explained that even star rings could be destroyed by power such as psionic energy.
• Chen Jun told Viska about the paired star rings, and Viska gave Tawell the data needed to restore the Inner Ring Belt’s Twins resonance.
• Tawell reported that the Inner Ring Belt met the conditions for resonance and expected to activate it within two or three days, so Chen Jun began assembling an expedition team.
• Lin Xue arrived with a warning that an unknown enemy with power matching the Empire would soon cause a war, and she urged the Empire to gather its fleet covertly.
• Lin Xue showed Chen Jun a deck of cards infused with a seer’s power and called them Prophecy Cards.

The Imperial fleet used Viska’s reconstructed star rings to transfer to Moblado, where it prepared to recover Imperial relics while avoiding an immediate conflict with the planet’s inhabitants. The fleet arrived undetected and surrounded Moblado as it began observing the world.

• The Integration Department prepared the Minion Army and selected the Pan-Galactic Civilization Community fleet and Atlantis artificial gods for combat readiness.
• The Empire Admiral waited at the Kuiper Belt as Viska’s reconstructed star ring began resonating with its counterpart to form a World Gate.
• The first fleet transferred through the star ring and confirmed a safe arrival in Moblado, while Chen prepared to approach the planet without alarming Milia or its inhabitants.
• Chen drew one of Lin Xue’s prophetic cards, which mocked his ordinary luck, before the Imperial main fleet followed the Vanguard Team through the World Gate.
• The fleet arrived in high orbit around Moblado and found the intact star ring hanging above the planet.
• The Empire Fleet and Minion Army secretly encircled Moblado, remaining invisible to the planet’s inhabitants as they watched from space.

The narrator’s fleet surveyed the Moblado system, hid in an interstellar dust cloud, and brought the sleeping Milia home to the Wanhu Great Prairie. After Milia joyfully reunited with her home world, the group concealed their identities and traveled with her to her hometown, where they arrived at her enormous house.

• Sandora confirmed that the Moblado system held six planets with traces of Imperial ruins, while the intact Star Ring answered Viska’s call.
• The fleet departed for a hidden base in an interstellar dust cloud, and the narrator’s group landed on Moblado with the unconscious Milia.
• Qian Qian’s excessive sleeping medicine nearly kept Milia unconscious, but the group eventually woke her, and she recognized the Wanhu Great Prairie as home.
• Milia celebrated her return, then learned that the group wanted to explore Moblado quietly rather than announce themselves as returning Sages.
• Milia guided the group toward her hometown, explaining Moblado’s sturdy low-rise buildings and its colony, New Moblado.
• The group drove Seven Trillion into town and arrived at Milia’s extremely large house.

Milia returned home after being missing for over a month and reunited with her family, while her companions posed as people who had helped her get back. Uncle Zagu agreed to let the group stay at Milia’s house for several days as they planned their next steps on Moblado.

• Milia brought the group to her uncle’s large house, where Aunt Lasula told her that her family had been searching for her.
• Milia explained her absence with a fabricated story about a failed summoning that had sent her far away, and she and Aunt Lasula traded increasingly elaborate tales of her journey.
• Uncle Zagu and Bi Luna arrived, and Zagu scolded Milia until she apologized for making her family worry.
• Milia told Zagu that kind strangers had helped her return, and he thanked them and offered to repair their car.
• Zagu introduced himself to the group as Milia’s guardian, and Bubble and the narrator reacted to his name.
• Older Sister asked to stay at Milia’s house, and Zagu agreed while Milia eagerly supported the request.

The narrator and the others stayed at Milia’s home, where they learned about her adventurer family, her hidden cleric identity, and Moblado’s races and ruins. The next morning, a huge crowd of familiar visitors arrived looking for them, ending with a silver-haired woman announcing she had come to play with Chen.

• Milia showed the narrator’s group her cluttered home and explained that her lazy uncle Zagu ran the Radiant Glory Adventurer Group, which searched for ancient ruins and battlefield remains.
• Milia revealed that she had no parents and had been raised by Zagu, while Bi Luna explained how Zagu’s blunt confession about her origins had once made Milia cry.
• Qian Qian asked about Milia’s cleric identity, and Bi Luna warned Milia to keep it secret; Milia explained that Zagu had forbidden her from revealing her cleric skills or Holy Disc.
• Sandora resisted eating Milia’s house but devoured 127 cakes, and Zagu realized he would have to work to feed the group; later, Sandora used a mental suggestion to settle his questions about their identities.
• On the group’s second morning at Milia’s home, a crowd of familiar people gathered outside, and Zagu rushed in demanding to know who they were.
• The narrator ordered the crowd to be quiet, but a silver-haired woman burst through the door and declared that she had come to play with Chen.

Viska gathered a huge, unruly group at Milia's home, where Bi Luna brought Zagu a lead on a relic. Zagu reluctantly agreed to take the newcomers along, and the group set off aboard his ramshackle airship, which caught fire shortly after takeoff.

• Viska admitted she had assembled a crowd to help Chen, and the group persuaded Zagu that they were an Adventurer Team visiting Milia.
• Bi Luna showed Zagu ancient metal plates linked to a relic, but Zagu resisted exploring it until Lilina offered the group's manpower and equipment.
• Zagu agreed to cooperate and led everyone to his underground warehouse, where he and Bi Luna repaired his battered airship, the Radiance Glory.
• Nearly twenty people boarded the repaired airship and launched through a tunnel, despite its failed brakes and Zagu's assurances that it was safe.
• Ten minutes after takeoff, the airship's systems overloaded and its engines caught fire.

The group survived Uncle Zagu’s disastrous airship flight and followed Bi Luna’s instruments to an underground relic in the Gobi Desert. After entering the ancient complex, Uncle Zagu touched a psionic crystal, triggering a deep rumble.

• The airship’s engine overheated, so the narrator tied Cirno to the cooling grille and restored the engines.
• The group endured a ten-hour journey before Uncle Zagu crash-landed the Radiance Glory in the Gobi Desert.
• Bi Luna detected an underground cavity, and the group followed her instruments to a buried mine entrance.
• The group explored the collapsed metal corridor and forced open an alloy door with Ibuki Suika’s horn.
• Uncle Zagu tried to pry a psionic crystal from the relic’s wall, and a deep rumble sounded beneath them.

After Uncle Zagu accidentally activated an Ancient Relic’s defenses, the group defeated its guardians and continued deeper inside. Sandora recognized the machines as creations of a vassal civilization from the Old Empire, raising the possibility that Moblado was once an imperial colony.

• Uncle Zagu triggered the relic’s defenses while seeking psionic crystals, and its gates sealed as the guardians approached.
• Magni charged the Thundercloud Variant Robots and tried to taunt them, but they ignored him and nearly destroyed his shield.
• Pandora shielded the group while Lilina’s vines restrained the robots and tore off their mechanical arms; Ilson protected everyone from their self-destruction.
• The group followed the corridor with the strongest energy reading, and Sandora recognized the guardians as machines resembling those built by one of her former vassal races.
• Sandora and Older Sister considered whether Moblado had been an Old Empire colony, while Viska urged Sandora not to dwell on what they could not yet confirm.
• The group continued through the relic together as Uncle Zagu called for them to stop falling behind.

The group fought through the underground relic and found a Xiling single-pilot fighter restrained in its core. Sandora freed it, but the ancient weapon attacked; Pandora and Viska shot it down, setting off the collapse of the relic.

• The group advanced through the relic, destroying its guardians as Sandora scanned for the Core Area.
• Ding Dang sensed that no one had ever lived in the shelter, and she bit Uncle Zagu after he called her a summoned beast.
• Pandora and Viska blasted open the Core Area’s door, revealing a restrained Xiling single-pilot fighter that Uncle Zagu identified as a Sacred Relic.
• Sandora tore apart the fighter’s restraints with Pandora and Viska, and the fighter awakened and attacked them.
• Sandora blocked the fighter’s attacks, and Pandora and Viska fired their cannons, destroying much of it and causing the relic to collapse.

After escaping the collapsing relic, the group discovered that the Imperial Soldier who attacked them had belonged to Sandora’s Fourth Fleet, raising the possibility that Sandora’s forces destroyed the ancient civilization. Back in Wan Lake Grassland Town, the narrator began explaining Milia’s real journey to another universe to Zagu, Bi Luna, and Milia.

• Pandora and Viska’s weapons caused much of the danger during the escape, and the group emerged from the relic inside enormous flower buds.
• Sandora identified the wrecked fighter as belonging to her Vengeance Legion’s Fourth Fleet; the pilot was dead, unafflicted by the Abyss, and had inexplicably mistaken her for an enemy.
• The group concluded that the ancient civilization’s former guardians may have destroyed it, then stored the soldier and fighter for Tawell to investigate.
• The narrator persuaded Bi Luna and Zagu to leave the relic site, and Sandora stored Zagu’s beloved Radiance Glory before everyone traveled in Seven Trillion.
• At Wan Lake Grassland Town, the narrator gathered Zagu, Bi Luna, and Milia and admitted that Milia had not come from the Mist Forest but had traveled to another universe.

After revealing their origins to Uncle Zagu and Bi Luna, the group investigated the out-of-control Vengeance Legion soldier and the devastated Imperial ruins across the Moblado Star System. Bubble’s findings suggested that Moblado’s First Planet had been catastrophically attacked, and she began presenting evidence about another planet.

• The narrator and Sandora explained to Uncle Zagu and Bi Luna that Milia had spent the past month in another world, while Bubble demonstrated Imperial technology and revealed the group’s connection to the Sages.
• Uncle Zagu and Bi Luna agreed to keep the visitors’ identities secret, and the narrator, Sandora, and Older Sister discussed whether the Vengeance Legion had been corrupted and how many soldiers might be affected.
• Bubble shared intelligence showing that Imperial ruins were widespread across Moblado’s Star System and that agents had found Vengeance Legion insignias among them.
• Bubble explained that Moblado’s First Planet had once been inhabited but was devastated by an eop-03 bombardment and a gravitational weapon that pushed it toward the sun.
• Bubble displayed a holographic image of another planet, a gas giant wrapped in thick clouds.

The narrator’s group examined a vast relic on Mist God Star and learned that Sandora’s former vassal civilization had been massacred by the Vengeance Legion. As evidence suggested the modern Moblado people descended from survivors, the group prepared for war while considering whether part of Sandora’s old army had tried to protect them.

• The agents’ records revealed a gigantic relic containing millions of corpses, and Sandora recognized the dead as her former vassal race.
• Bubble explained that the Vengeance Legion had attacked the Moblado system and that the modern Moblado people were likely descendants of the Ancient Civilization’s survivors.
• Sandora concluded that something had interrupted the Empire’s extermination campaign and vowed to settle the matter herself.
• Bubble warned that the Vengeance Legion was probably out of control and could overwhelm the Outpost Base’s forces.
• Older Sister suggested that the Vengeance Legion might have split, with one faction massacring the vassals and another leaving them weapons to resist.
