Background / History
Ai Yue arrives in the Pre-Civilization with a System that grants access to a technological research tree and a Construction System. He calls the latter “alchemy” because it can turn gathered materials into finished machinery without external manufacturing equipment. 2
Before becoming a prominent Moth to Fire researcher, he is closely involved with Twilight Street and its nursing home. He replaces the children’s Honkai Energy Absorbers, brings them toys, and regards curing Honkai Sickness as a personal obligation rather than merely a research objective. 2 14
Aponia’s attempts to observe his fate reveal only fragments: Ai Yue’s original fate is shattered, while the System prevents her from reading his present fate. She consequently accepts him as a possible “savior.” 8
Within Moth to Fire, Ai Yue rapidly establishes himself by improving the Honkai Energy Absorber, completing and optimizing the Fusion Warrior Project, and producing a Hypervariable Factor for Garuda that simulations rate at 100% surgical success. 10 11 12
Appearance
Ai Yue usually presents himself as an ordinary scholar in a white coat. In formal clothing, however, he is described as resembling a wealthy young noble, with a freer and more rebellious bearing; pushing back his bangs makes his appearance striking enough for his colleagues to repeatedly comment on it. 19
- Usually wears a white research coat. 19
- Has messy hair and notably looks different with his bangs pushed up. 19
- Possesses a good physique and conventionally handsome appearance. 19
- Can appear completely ordinary despite his later god-like status. 278
- His pupils turn red when he channels powerful mental force through his equipment. 61
Personality
Ai Yue is calm, direct, and unusually approachable for someone of his power. He dislikes empty formalities, political posturing, and indirect negotiation; even when dealing with powerful organizations, he prefers open questions and clear answers. 339 369
He carries an extreme sense of responsibility. He habitually takes danger and blame onto himself, avoids allowing others to take even minor risks when he believes he can act alone, and measures his own failures by whether others could trust him. 8 38 225
His humility is genuine rather than performative. Despite repeatedly surpassing Mei, Mobius, Vill-V, and other leading researchers, he normally yields during interpersonal conflicts and maintains a high moral threshold. His more unrestrained side primarily appears around people he knows well. 31 339
Ai Yue is also prone to isolation and overwork. He recognizes that excessive solitude has weakened his ability to empathize with others, while his friends repeatedly intervene when he neglects sleep, hygiene, or his own safety for research. 46 47 94
Abilities & Skills
Construction System and Black Technology
Ai Yue’s System provides a visible technology tree, research projects, and the ability to construct completed devices from their required materials.
- Can create machines without conventional manufacturing equipment once he has the necessary materials. 2
- Developed and improved Honkai Energy Absorbers for vulnerable children at Twilight Street. 2 10
- Optimized Fusion Warrior surgery and produced a Garuda Hypervariable Factor with a simulated 100% success rate. 11 12
- Built advanced AI, virtual battle systems, Armed Dolls, virtual Honkai Beasts, and large-scale infrastructure plans. 47 99 101 153
- Developed a consciousness-stealth and simulated-domination network that resolves the high mental-power and production limits of Virtual Honkai Beast technology. 99
Biological Engineering
Ai Yue specializes in genetic modification, Fused Warrior research, and treatments for conditions thought to be beyond ordinary medicine.
- Refines Fused Warrior formulas to reduce sequelae and investigates methods to repair Kevin’s damaged genome. 13
- Develops a cure for Honkai Sickness after studying experimental antibodies from the Fifth Science Department. 38
- Uses genetic information to mimic powers such as Kevin’s ice control or degraded Herrscher authorities. 45
- Creates a device that lets Elysia control three authorities without losing consciousness. 205
- Later modifies the Jianmu Seed to absorb Abundance power rather than perpetuate its prior danger. 376
Herrscher Authority and Mental Power
Ai Yue can employ Herrscher-derived abilities directly or through technology.
- Uses degraded genetic copies of other powers through the Superpower Instrument and related technology. 45 46
- Acquires Mental Interference, enabling mental disruption and illusions. 46

- Manipulates the Authority of Constraint with extraordinary precision, including the ability to neutralize a target’s power. 177 213
- Can enter a non-corporeal Phased Body state; the state grants immunity to physical and mental attacks but leaves him unable to move. 213
Power of Light
The Power of Light is Ai Yue’s defining ascended power and exists outside the established Destiny system.
- Lets him manifest a Radiant Giant form before the entire world. 237
- Can alter or temporarily reconfigure the nature of another being’s abilities. 394
- Allows him to restrain catastrophic entities, including Suo and Phantylia. 263 370
- Can lock the rules of the Earth–Moon system, halt Earth’s apparent motion, and contain the collision of vastly different cosmic powers. 306
- Is considered comparable in quality to the powers wielded by Aeons, though Ai Yue acknowledges that his current total power remains below the Amber Lord’s full depth. 333 344
Combat Limitations
Ai Yue’s raw power, armor, and authority exceed most opponents, but he initially lacks the polished combat technique of veteran frontline warriors.
- Sakura decisively outclasses him in pure technique during their sparring encounter. 177
- His Wuji armor and Spacetime Fracture System compensate for his slower reactions and limited fighting experience. 177
- He consciously trains to avoid relying solely on superior statistics, instinct, or technological advantages. 177
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Spacetime Distortion Generator — Creates a brief time-distortion effect lasting roughly three seconds; requires Honkai Energy and needs its power source replaced after ten uses. 2
- Special computer glasses — Dual-layer lenses, micro-display, and integrated chips allow him to connect to Prometheus and access supercomputer-level processing. 23
- Aponia’s Embrace — Gene-based potion that temporarily gives him a degraded version of Aponia’s abilities, allowing access to dreamscapes. 27
- Soul Guardian hat — Protects his mind, amplifies mental power, monitors his condition, and can forcibly remove him from a dreamscape when the potion’s effect ends. 27
- Superpower Instrument — Mimics Fused Warrior abilities; its tested output reaches approximately 40% of Kevin’s full strength. 46
- Wuji armor — Defensive armor that withstands Sakura’s blade and includes a Spacetime Fracture System. 177
- “Pikachu” storage item — A spatial-expansion storage device discovered by Mobius. 31
- Amber Lord’s hammer — A powerful artifact capable of suppressing those who follow Preservation. 344 345
- Arrowhead of the Hunt — Can summon assistance from the Lord of the Empyrean Bow when fired at a target. 376
Relationships
- Aponia — Close confidante and collaborator. She cares deeply about his health, challenges his tendency to shoulder everything alone, and is one of the few people whose gentle requests he finds difficult to refuse. 8 47 94
- Pardofelis — His first companion in this world and someone he considers family. He transfers her to Star of Light because he recognizes the need to keep their bond from becoming distant; they later grow significantly closer. 95 101 239
- Elysia — Friend, collaborator, and later romantic partner. Ai Yue helps stabilize her authority, while Elysia consistently supports him emotionally and refuses to let him isolate himself. 205 288 357
- Dr. Mobius — Research collaborator and competitive rival. She initially doubts him, then recognizes his overwhelming ability; their relationship develops into frequent banter, mutual reliance, and concern. 10 28 46
- Dr. Mei — Political and scientific ally. Mei entrusts major projects to him and eventually recognizes his ability to reshape global systems. 12 13 100 253
- Kevin Kaslana — Ally and occasional sparring partner. Ai Yue assists with Kevin’s genetic problems and treats him with a mixture of mentorship, blunt advice, and camaraderie. 22 90 177
- Hua — Recruited teammate and later student. Ai Yue recognizes her potential early, supports her development of Qi, and upgrades her equipment. 26 36 183

Ai Yue shifts from individual weapons research toward civilizational recovery. He cures Honkai Sickness, supports civilian Armed Doll development, establishes large-scale Virtual Honkai Beast infrastructure, and pressures the United Earth Government into global technological cooperation. 38 51 99 100 101
Ascension and the Great Harmony Plan
After gaining greater authority and awakening his Stigmata, Ai Yue publicly reveals his Radiant Giant form to inspire humanity. He accepts deification as a practical means of giving civilians confidence, then presents the Great Harmony Plan to guide humanity’s development. 213 237 238
Sea of Quantum and Post-Civilization
Ai Yue relocates Star of Light to the Moon, restarts the Abyssal Eye project, and prepares to confront threats in the Sea of Quantum. He later opens a stable route toward the Imaginary Tree to aid the Post-Civilization. 253 295
To understand the rules of the world, he simultaneously engages the Imaginary Tree and Sea of Quantum, transforms himself into the Power of Light, and shields Earth from the resulting cosmic disturbance. 306
Journey Beyond the Solar System
As a Nameless, Ai Yue encounters the Interastral Peace Corporation, the Amber Lord, Herta, the Xianzhou Alliance, and Penacony’s Family. He rejects excessive corporate binding, negotiates with Aeons as an equal, cures Mara-related afflictions, modifies the Jianmu, and expands the dreamscape through cooperation rather than conquest. 340 344 370 376 381
