Chapter Summaries

Xina froze Theresa and left Lily to guard her while 6991 and Thousand-Person Herrscher 278 climbed through the ruined Vimur Base toward the battle between Kiana and Mei. Herrscher 278 crashed into both fighters and announced the Theater of Domination, leaving Mei and Kiana bewildered.

• Herrscher 278's head found her body, and she announced the Theater of Domination as Mei realized something was wrong.

Xina trapped Mei and Kiana in the Theater of Domination and used Judah's Grace Barrier to weaken them. She demonstrated how her Herrscher of Death authority could steal power from an ascended Herrscher, draining half of Mei's lightning authority before turning her attention to Kiana.

• A locomotive carrying Durandal and a red-haired man smashed into the Theater of Domination, interrupting Xina as she was about to leave.

• Xina dispersed Antarctica’s storm clouds, and Yega reported that 1,106 blast points were ready.

• Xina met Walter Joyce in the Core’s void and told him that the past had to fade to make way for the future.

Xina taunted Durandal and the red-haired man, then demonstrated her control over multiple Herrscher Authorities by trapping them in an electromagnetic chain net. The red-haired man’s attempt to escape with Heavenly Fire: Unsheathed failed, and Xina challenged him to try another weapon as he searched for a way to survive.

Xina let the red-haired man use the Ksitigarbha Soul Control to expose herself to its corrosive power, hoping the experience would help her Sentience Authority evolve. As Durandal attacked through the Black Mist, Sirin severed and transported a huge section of the Theater of Domination, leaving everyone inside unaware of what had happened.

With Yega unexpectedly becoming the Herrscher of Binding, Xina revealed that the Honkai Will had provided some help and removed the Herrscher Core from Yega.

• Xina directed Yega to open a Doorway to Imaginary Space and unleashed a gigantic Tai Xu Sword Qi strike that broke Milian’s restraint.

• Milian said Xina was the first person in over thirty thousand years to injure her, and Xina mocked her before charging into another exchange.

Xina ended her stalemate with Milian and returned to her main body, then traveled across the Moon to confront Kevin among the Ruins. She asked Kevin to hear her out, arguing that humanity faced eventual ruin even without Honkai.

• Xina used four Authorities to destroy Milian's God Keys, but Milian said neither of them could harm the other and that Xina's {Infinity} power had a time limit.

• Xina told Kevin, Su, and Griseo that she held eleven Herrscher authorities and could thwart the Stigmata Project, but could not restrain the powerful woman forever.

• Milian knocked Eden Garden out of the sky, scattering its fragments across the Americas and landing the Golden Castle and Silver Castle in the Rocky Mountains.
