Sakura investigated and fought Qianjie before Theresa took the core; Kevin brought Qianjie and Aponia into Fire Moth as the sanatorium was burned and quarantined.

• Mobius could not obtain a sample from Theresa, whose transformation had inspired Hua to join the Fusion Warrior program.
• Mobius fused the fire-element Honkai Beast Garuda’s factor into Hua, then accidentally injected her with a growth-inhibiting drug and gave her another dose on the other side for balance.

Mobius used Shesha’s vitality to become a Fusion Warrior, while other MOTH members underwent hypermutation and the Eighth Honkai Eruption brought memetic contamination and devastating losses.

• Fire Moth celebrated its victory and appointed Dr. MEI as a senior official, while Kalpas kept Imol’s core and Mobius shut herself away.
• Mobius obtained Klein’s memories after consuming her and decided to try to revive her.

Mobius revived Klein as an Armed Puppet with Verity’s help, then created a Hypervariable Factor that gave Verity eight additional personalities.

• Theresa revealed Herrscher features and told Elysia to warn Dr. MEI and the others to evacuate Fire Moth.
• Theresa threw Elysia away, transformed into a Cocoon of Light, and began expanding a blood-red barrier.

After Theresa became the Herrscher of Binding, her Binding Barrier spread through Fire Moth, killing ordinary people and disabling machines. Mobius rescued Klein from inside the barrier and reported that Fusion Warriors could resist it, leading Dr. MEI to try feeding it Destruction Energy from Honkai Reactors.

• Elysia reported Theresa’s transformation to Fire Moth, where Dr. MEI identified the spreading blood-red field as the Binding Barrier and ordered an evacuation.

• Dr. MEI recorded Mobius’s account and concluded the barrier had a limit to how much Destruction Energy it could consume.
• Fire Moth began channeling Destruction Energy from Honkai Reactors into the barrier, while Theresa remained asleep inside a Cocoon of Light.

As the Binding Barrier expanded toward global catastrophe, Fire Moth committed its Fusion Warriors to a final assault against Theresa, the Herrscher of Binding. The charge proved deadly, and Qianjie fell almost immediately before Mobius discovered he had entered the battle with an ordinary human body.

• The Binding Barrier rapidly expanded after swallowing the Honkai Reactors, forcing Fire Moth to evacuate as it grew to a radius of one hundred kilometers.
• Fire Moth gathered more than ten thousand Fusion Warriors and settled on a final plan: they would fill the barrier's restraint threshold, Hua would attack with Feather of Dust, and Kevin would strike Theresa when the barrier broke.
• Pardo was too ill to fight, while Qianjie obtained a Key of Domination forged from Imol's core and prepared to battle alongside her.
• After half a day for farewells, the Fusion Warriors charged into the Binding Barrier, where even the strongest fell after advancing only a short distance.
• Qianjie charged in but collapsed less than a meter inside; Hua took him to Mobius, who discovered he was an alien with an ordinary human body and operated on him to make him a true Fusion Warrior.

Qianjie and the Fusion Warriors fought through the Binding Barrier to stop Theresa’s transformation, while Hua waited for a chance to strike. Hua’s attack brought Theresa down and weakened the barrier, but Kevin’s blow hit the Cocoon of Light instead, and the resulting explosion engulfed the fallen Fusion Warriors.

• Qianjie charged into the Binding Barrier as platinum-gold Honkai Beasts attacked the Fusion Warriors, who endured the barrier’s suppression while helping him advance.

• Hua burned her memories to unleash the Feather of Dust’s First Output, striking Theresa and making the Binding Barrier begin to vanish.
• Kevin attacked the fallen Theresa with An-Utu, but her wings protected her and his strike hit the Cocoon of Light, causing an explosion that swept over the Fusion Warriors.

Theresa ended her life after briefly breaking free of the Honkai Will, bringing the Tragedy of Binding to a close. In the aftermath, Elysia founded the Thirteen Flame-Chasers and began planning a Garden of Eternity for them.

• Kevin's strike against An-Utu killed thousands of Fusion Warriors, while Theresa briefly regained control of herself with help from Hua's Feather of Dust.
• Theresa dissolved into platinum-white motes in Elysia's arms, leaving behind the Herrscher Core, and Kevin found the badly injured Kalpas beneath the frozen ground.
• The survivors mourned Theresa and buried the dead; only thirteen Fusion Warriors had survived the Tragedy of Binding.
• Elysia announced the creation of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, and Kevin and Kalpas pressured Fire Moth's higher-ups into approving it without funding.
