• Xina ordered her Chimera-class Honkai Beasts to capture Rita, but Fu Hua broke through an emergency exit and dragged Rita away.

• Xina approached the masked man, shot at his jammer, and contacted Otto while pretending to be angry at the intruder.
• The masked man said he had come for one thing, discarded the jammer, and faced Otto's projection as his eye glowed red.

• Xina took a Herrscher Gem fragment and reached for the Pseudo-Herrscher Core despite its contamination warning.

Xina searched Otto’s vault for the Judgment of Shamash, discovered a hidden chamber, and found Sirin’s remains. After collecting Sirin’s genes, she pieced together connections among Kiana, Durandal, Theresa, and Amber, and began to suspect Otto’s reasons for hiding the real Kiana.

• Xina failed to find the Judgment of Shamash in the main vault and detected a hidden chamber behind an alloy wall.
• Xina cut through the wall with a high-pressure water cutter and sent a Reconnaissance-type Honkai Beast inside to check for traps.
• Xina entered the chamber, read the warning on Sirin’s Soul Steel coffin, collected a strand of hair, and reduced the remains to dust.
• Xina added Sirin’s genes to the Gene Pool and concluded that Kiana was the clone K-423, while Durandal was probably the real Kiana.
• Xina compared the genes of Durandal, Kiana, Theresa, and Amber, noticed their shared Kaslana bloodline, and wondered whether Kallen had been Otto’s lover.

Xina deduced that Otto intended to revive Kallen Kaslana, then entered the God Key All Things Hibernation and encountered the imprisoned Herrscher of Ice. After the God Key trapped her in a freezing pod, Xina broke free and headed toward its core.

• Xina connected the Serenity Gem, Theresa's Kaslana bloodline, and the Destiny Bible to conclude that Otto wanted to revive Kallen Kaslana.

• Xina smashed the pod lid despite the extreme cold and made her way toward the God Key's core.

Xina destroyed All Things Hibernation and absorbed the energy of its Herrscher Core, but discovered that a mysterious attacker had taken the Judgment of Shamash. She faked her injuries and blamed the theft and damage on the attacker, leaving Otto to investigate the supposed intruders.
