Summary: A Daughter Out of Nowhere (Chapter)

1. Key Plot Points and Events

• Royal Court Council Meeting: Core Imperial family members debate the [Infinity Clan]'s future. Queen Fenghua proposes letting the Infinity Clan choose their own destination.
• Li Guo's Entrance: "Li Guo" (disguised) arrives with a mysterious bodyguard named Mr. Vinasis (implied to be Li Wei), causing controversy by bringing an outsider into the council chamber.

• Li Guo's Proposal: She suggests sending [Infinity Clan] members with [God-Slaying Armor] compatibility to the Royal Academy for integration and monitoring—her proposal gains approval.
• The Revelation: Queen Fenghua presses Lucia about the mysterious Maiden who bonded with [Nebula]. Lucia reveals she has a daughter named Bai Zhi, created through asexual reproduction using Lucia's own genes, who has awakened the Imperial Crest and become compatible with [Nebula].

2. Character Developments

• Li Guo (Anle): Shows strategic cunning despite her physical weakness. Her mind remains sharp; she's maneuvering politically even while gravely ill, positioning herself advantageously regarding the [Infinity Clan].
• Lucia: Reveals she has a daughter (Bai Zhi), shocking everyone. Dispels her cold exterior by asserting her daughter's status as an Imperial Princess.
• Queen Fenghua: Maintains her cold, calculating nature—shows no maternal concern for Li Guo's health, focuses solely on political maneuvers.
• Li Wei/Boss Luo (as Vinasis): Operating under disguise, he appears to be actively involved in Imperial politics, acting as Li Guo's protector and pawn in her schemes.

3. Significant Themes

• Political Intrigue: The chapter is heavily focused on factional maneuvering within the Imperial family over the [Infinity Clan]'s fate.
• Family Conflict: The Queen-empress and Princess relationship is strained; Lucia's unconventional creation of a daughter challenges traditional family structures.
• Power Dynamics: The distribution and control of military power ([Infinity Clan], [God-Slaying Armor], compatible individuals) reflects broader power struggles.
• Strategy and Deception: Multiple layers of misdirection—Li Guo's disguise, Vinasis's hidden identity, and Lucia's secret daughter.

4. Character Interactions

• Li Guo & Queen Fenghua: Strained mother-daughter relationship; Fenghua chastises Li Guo for impropriety, while Li Guo subtly provokes her mother with talk of her recovery.
• Li Guo & Lucia: A mutually respectful alliance; Lucia supports Li Guo's proposal, and Li Guo deflects attention from Lucia's secrets (using Lucia's own adviser as justification).
• Lucia & Queen Fenghua: Adversarial tension; Fenghua attempts to force Lucia to reveal information about her daughter, but Lucia deflects with her unexpected revelation.
• Vinasis (Li Wei) & Council: Treated initially as a mere male attendant, then recognized as the mysterious powerhouse—creates unease, particularly for Lucia, who becomes aware of the threat he poses.

2. The Eternal Dream Curse Revealed: The wizard confirms that the real Li Guo remains under the "Eternal Dream" curse he cast. However, the Li Guo who appeared in court was an imposter (later revealed to be Commander Valia) using a miraculous transformation potion from the Titus family.
3. The Queen's Obsession: Queen Fenghua desperately wants to uncover a secret guarded by Emperor Prus—something connected to "That Place," a mysterious entity with contact routes on the Science, Magic, Mythological, and Fantasy sides. The wizard tells her she isn't "worth" contacting That Place yet, enraging her.
4. Bai Zhi's New Identity: Princess Lucia unilaterally declares Bai Zhi as her adopted daughter (alongside Princess Raphael), giving her a legitimate reason to appear before the imperial family. Bai Zhi is furious about not being consulted.
5. Lucia's Manipulation: Lucia uses the God-Slaying Armor and Nebula as leverage, trapping Bai Zhi into cooperation. She dismisses Bai Zhi's objections, then lets her leave—but warns that frequent visits to Li Wei Titus could bring him trouble.

7. Miss Nan's Betrayal Revealed: Boss Luo returns to the study to find Miss Nan crying and apologizing. Maid Miss (You Ye) confronts her about colluding with Young Master Wild, who allegedly blackmailed her with "a huge secret" and gave her resources from the hotel.
8. Wild's Counter-Attack: Young Master Wild suddenly appears in the study, having heard everything. He threatens to buy Miss Nan as a "Forbidden Apostle" from his elder brother (Boss Luo), horrifying her.

Character Developments

• Queen Fenghua: Revealed as obsessive, paranoid, and power-hungry; her relationship with Princess Anle is exposed as fractured since the succession dispute. She is willing to have servants executed for gossip.
• Bai Zhi: Shows defiance and independence, pushing back against Lucia's control. She remains loyal to Li Wei Titus despite pressure.

• Miss Nan/Xie Nan: Caught between two masters; claims loyalty to Boss but clearly made deals with Wild. Terrified and increasingly desperate.
• Young Master Wild: Revealed as a direct threat—audacious enough to appear in Boss Luo's study and openly discuss "buying" Miss Nan. Teasing yet menacing.
• Vinasis: Positioned as a powerful backer for Li Wei's faction (peak Radiant Moon strength at minimum), successfully intimidating the royal court.

Significant Themes

• Power and Manipulation: Everyone is trying to control or leverage someone else—the Queen against the Emperor, Lucia against Bai Zhi, Wild against Miss Nan.
• Identity and Disguise: Impersonation via transformation potions (Valia as Li Guo), Bai Zhi's fabricated royal identity, hidden true identities.
• Loyalty and Betrayal: Miss Nan's divided loyalties; the uneasy alliance system where everyone has hidden agendas.
• The Shop's Rules: "Everything is an exchange"—Bai Zhi's God-Slaying Armor came with strings attached.
• "That Place": A mysterious higher power that charges prices for protection/secrets; only the most worthy can contact it.

Character Interactions

• Maid Miss ↔ Miss Nan: Cold, withering disapproval; the unspoken threat is more frightening than words.
• Wild ↔ Miss Nan: Open intimidation; he now holds the power and knows her secrets.

Chapter Summary: The Heart-to-Heart Big Sister, Long Xiruo

1. Key Plot Points and Events

• Wild’s Request: Young Master Wild visits Boss Luo, joking about buying Miss Nan. He then asks Boss Luo to fake his own death or injury to deceive the Eternal Clan, who do not know Boss Luo is the Shopkeeper. Wild suggests staging false signs to fool their destiny-monitoring methods.
• Boss Luo Agrees: After some deliberation, Boss Luo agrees, but assigns Miss Nan to participate in the operation. He also tests Wild over the earlier joke about buying Miss Nan; Wild quickly backs down.
• Bai Zhi’s Banishment: Bai Zhi returns from the Princess’s Mansion, apologizing for causing trouble. Maid Miss coldly tells her to leave the villa, saying she is a burden. Bai Zhi packs her belongings and flies away in her armor, Nebula.
• Long Xiruo Follows: Seeing Bai Zhi leave, Long Xiruo chases after her, finding her by a lake. She grills fish, gives blunt advice, and eventually notices something approaching—warning Bai Zhi to hide.

2. Character Developments

• Boss Luo: Shows calm authority, subtle manipulation, and a mix of indulgence and severity toward Wild. He agrees to a dangerous plan but retains control by inserting his own agent.
• Young Master Wild: Playful, mischievous, but genuinely afraid of Boss Luo and Anqi. His joke about buying Miss Nan reveals his interest in her, but he quickly surrenders when pressed.
• Miss Nan: Reinforces her loyalty to Boss Luo, stating she is his “private property” and only follows his orders. She remains composed and obedient.
• Maid Miss (You Ye): Cold and ruthless in protecting Boss Luo, she expels Bai Zhi without hesitation, viewing her as a potential source of trouble.
• Bai Zhi: Deeply insecure and devoted to her master. She accepts her banishment, remembering Lucia’s words about being loved despite causing trouble, and wishes she could be as bold as Long Xiruo.
• Long Xiruo: Acts brash and uncaring, but her actions betray a compassionate side. She refuses to pity Bai Zhi, instead teaching her self-reliance: “If I want something, I’ll obtain it myself.”

3. Significant Themes

• Loyalty and Ownership: Miss Nan’s identity as “the boss’s private property” and her absolute obedience raise questions about agency and servitude.
• Deception and Trust: The plan to fake Boss Luo’s death highlights how trust is weaponized in politics—and how even allies are kept in the dark.
• Independence vs. Dependence: Bai Zhi waits for her master’s approval; Long Xiruo urges her to take what she wants rather than wait. Their contrast drives the chapter’s emotional core.
• Belonging and Exile: Bai Zhi is cast out for being “trouble,” but Long Xiruo’s company suggests a sisterhood rooted in tough love rather than pity.

4. Character Interactions

• Wild & Boss Luo: A playful yet tense dynamic—Wild jokes, Boss Luo probes, and Wild ultimately submits. Their conversation mixes brotherly familiarity with power imbalance.
• Wild & Zeno Turtle: Comic relief; the turtle dryly comments on Wild’s antics and gets bitten for it.
• Maid Miss & Bai Zhi: A cold dismissal; Maid Miss offers no comfort, forcing Bai Zhi into exile.
• Bai Zhi & Long Xiruo: The heart of the chapter—Long Xiruo feeds her, scolds her, and alternates between criticism and guidance. She leaves, then returns to warn Bai Zhi of danger, showing she genuinely cares.
• Long Xiruo’s Internal Moment: She contrasts herself with Bai Zhi, explaining that she seizes what she wants rather than passively waiting—revealing her core philosophy and concern for Bai Zhi’s weakness.

1. Key Plot Points and Events

• A six-person squad in black cloaks and silver masks releases a bio-engineered spider beast near an environmental monitoring station in the Fifth District. The beast transforms into a "crab-claw" object that opens a spatial vortex, releasing a swarm of fist-sized flying insects.
• The insect swarm invades the station, kills the night guard patrol, and uses their bodies as breeding grounds—one guard's organs are consumed and a fleshy lump is found in his swollen abdomen.
• Bai Zhi and Long Xiruo arrive, investigate the station, and discover the dead guard. Long Xiruo extracts a sample of the parasitic lump; Bai Zhi reluctantly bottles it. Long Xiruo intends to use it to disgust You Ye.
• A camouflaged cloaked attacker ambushes them with a rifle. Long Xiruo blocks the attack, severs his mechanical arms, and captures him—but he self-destructs to avoid capture.
• Bai Zhi uses her clay tablet's "words become reality" power to force the five remaining cloaked operatives to reveal themselves. They also self-destruct immediately.
• Cecil arrives in a purple mech, concerned about Bai Zhi. She identifies the crab-claw object as a biological portal of the [Gela] insect race—supposedly extinct. She seals the site.
• Princess Lucia arrives to investigate. She questions Long Xiruo rudely, but Long Xiruo mentally overwhelms her with her dragon presence. Lucia apologizes and asks for cooperation; Long Xiruo provides a battle recording.
• Lucia orders Cecil to copy the recording and takes her into the station to inspect the portal.

2. Character Developments

• Bai Zhi: Shows her passive, obedient nature; relies on Long Xiruo for direction. Demonstrates her unique "words become reality" ability through the clay tablet, though her attempt to capture enemies fails because the enemies self-destruct.
• Long Xiruo: Assertive, powerful, and protective of Bai Zhi. She refuses to be intimidated by royalty, revealing her own ancient status as a Xuanyuan dragon princess. Pragmatic enough to provide the battle recording despite disliking Lucia.
• Princess Lucia: Initially haughty and authoritarian, she tries to pressure Long Xiruo for information. After being mentally dominated, she quickly adapts, apologizes, and returns to a calm, professional work mode—showing she values the mission over pride.
• Cecil: Diligent and loyal; tracks Bai Zhi out of concern, recognizes the [Gela] portal, and properly secures the scene.

3. Significant Themes

• Identity and Hidden Royalty: The chapter title "Who Says She Isn't a Princess?" plays on Long Xiruo being far more ancient and noble than the current princess—status is not always visible.
• Power Dynamics: Lucia tries to assert authority through fear, but Long Xiruo proves that true power transcends position.
• Biological Warfare / Unknown Threats: The [Gela] insect portal and self-destructing operatives suggest a larger conspiracy involving forbidden bio-weapons.
• Loyalty and Partnership: Long Xiruo and Bai Zhi operate as an effective duo, balancing brute force with clever abilities.

4. Character Interactions

• Bai Zhi & Long Xiruo: Bai Zhi follows Long Xiruo instinctively; Long Xiruo teases her but protects her and handles the dangerous situations. They share a casual, bantering dynamic.
• Long Xiruo & Lucia: A tense confrontation. Lucia tries to intimidate Long Xiruo, but Long Xiruo's dragon aura dominates her. Lucia is forced to apologize, and the interaction shifts to reluctant cooperation.
• Bai Zhi & Cecil: Cecil clearly cares for Bai Zhi's safety and reports to her directly; Bai Zhi politely explains the situation.
• Long Xiruo & Cecil: Long Xiruo is dismissive and aloof toward Cecil, leaving explanations to Bai Zhi.

Chapter Summary

1. Key Plot Points & Events

• At a base station, a giant dead Zerg larva is discovered in a pit. Cecil explains it was an early stage of a Gela Zerg hive, aiming to feed on an underground energy node. She killed it before it could burrow deeper.
• Cecil reveals that surveillance via the Pale Goddess was tampered with in that area, and the guards' distress messages were blocked—implying deliberate sabotage.
• Princess Lucia orders a full investigation, quarantine of the area, and a search for any remaining larvae.
• Long Xiruo and Bai Zhi secretly observe the military sealing off the site. Long Xiruo suspects Cecil's timing and possibly Lucia's involvement.
• Bai Zhi confesses her emotional turmoil: absorbing Oudina's lingering consciousness from Nebula has given her genuine maternal feelings toward Oudina and a strange pull toward Princess Lucia (Oudina's twin), conflicting with her loyalty to her master.
• Long Xiruo confronts Luo Qiu at sunrise. He refuses to forcefully sever Bai Zhi's newfound mother-daughter bond, comparing Bai Zhi to a blank sheet that has begun to be colored.
• At breakfast, Long Xiruo and You Ye (Maid Miss) engage in a silent, tense standoff. Long Xiruo tosses her a bottle without explanation, then leaves.
• Linglong, the spy-turned-maid, receives a sect summons: the true disciple trial ended early, possibly related to the impending descent of the Immortal Path—but she is trapped at the villa and unable to return.

2. Character Developments

• Bai Zhi: Conflicted and guilt-ridden; she knows her feelings for the Princess stem from Oudina's residual consciousness, yet cannot suppress them. She now has a "mother" for the first time, making any separation unbearable.
• Long Xiruo: Shows surprising empathy for Bai Zhi, comparing Bai Zhi's dilemma to her own complicated relationship with her Maiden Heart. She softens toward Luo Qiu, reluctantly accepting physical closeness and asking him not to be too cruel to Bai Zhi.
• Luo Qiu: Calmly philosophical—refuses to intervene in Bai Zhi's emotional bond, framing it as an inevitable natural development ("a blank sheet of paper waiting to be colored"). Affectionate and intimate with Long Xiruo.
• You Ye (Maid Miss): Remains inscrutable; silently accepts the bottle from Long Xiruo, hinting at an unspoken understanding between the two.
• Linglong: Gradually accepts her situation, even seeing it as a potential "great opportunity"; still longs for the Immortal Path but recognizes her current captivity.

3. Significant Themes

• Motherhood & Identity: Bai Zhi's inherited maternal bond with Oudina blurs the line between artificial memories and genuine love; severing it would be cruel.
• Natural Growth vs. Manipulation: Luo Qiu's "blank sheet" metaphor suggests people are shaped by experiences—whether from Oudina's remnants or other influences—without being purely forced.
• Trust & Surveillance: Tampered monitoring and blocked messages highlight political paranoia; even allies suspect each other.
• Bondage & Escape: Linglong is physically trapped despite wanting to leave; Long Xiruo is emotionally bound despite claiming indifference.
• Silent Understanding: Interactions between Long Xiruo and You Ye show communication without words—rivalry but also tacit coordination.

4. Character Interactions

• Cecil explains the Zerg threat; Lucia issues orders; Long Xiruo openly criticizes the coronation’s excessive publicity, and Lucia concedes the point but cites Abriel’s pride.
• Long Xiruo forcibly drags Bai Zhi away; Bai Zhi initially refuses but is overridden.
• Bai Zhi's confession to Long Xiruo: emotional breakdown, guilt, and longing; Long Xiruo listens and empathizes.
• Luo Qiu and Long Xiruo: a quiet morning confrontation that turns tender—Luo Qiu hugs her, she grudgingly yields and pleads for Bai Zhi’s sake.
• Long Xiruo vs. You Ye: a wordless clash of gazes; Long Xiruo leaves a bottle for You Ye.
• Sha Ke remarks to Linglong about the two women’s “tacit understanding,” amusingly framing their hostility as cooperation.
• Linglong discovers the sect summons alone, her thoughts spinning with fear and calculation.

She admits wanting to participate in the imminent immortal path opening in the [Glorious Ruins]. Vinasis neither confirms nor denies allowing it.
2. Gela Insect Race Resurgence: Boss Luo arrives at the villa with news that mysterious people released Gela insect larvae in the Fifth District—a race supposedly wiped out long ago.

• Li Guo: Though briefly awake, she displays astute political awareness and concern for Valia's wellbeing. She appears to have feelings for Boss Luo but suppresses them.
• Boss Luo (Xiang Feihu): Takes his cut of the potion profits, showing he understands pirate politics. He maintains detached professionalism with Li Guo while helping the [Pirate Alliance].

• Imbas: Revealed as a self-serving opportunist who has been embezzling from the Babilon family and intends to betray them completely.

Significant Themes

• Mesaes & Imbas: A scene of mutual suspicion disguised as trust—Mesaes pretends to believe Imbas's loyalty while ordering surveillance; Imbas secretly plans to betray her.
• Guevara & Paul: A mentor-apprentice relationship with comic undertones, Guevara's extreme caution contrasting with Paul's nervousness about their dangerous mission.

Summary: “When Miss Nan Met Young Master Wild”

• Lockhart is accused of deceiving the Council and is executed by Imperial Uncle Fleche, who then orders his brain to be harvested for memories.
• King Bogudo and other Council elders decide that rather than destroy the Infinity Clan, they should win them over—especially by arranging marriages between Imperial female relatives and promising Infinity Clan students, including the heir Adams.

Summary: The Doom of House Babilon (Part 2)

Key Plot Points & Events

1. The Aftermath: After Mesaes's failed attempt to harm Nine Luo God Naraku (which was broadcast live on the Dark Star Network), the Nine Luo God Clan surrounds Lord Babilon's residence on [Malindo] with a large [TGX] military force at dawn.
2. Babilon's Political Isolation: King [Artesia] is reluctant to intervene decisively; Queen [Fenghua] refuses to help Babilon and coldly advises him to hand over Mesaes. Other factions (including the Fourth Princess) offer aid only in exchange for Babilon surrendering his power and territories. The [Star Patrol] cordons off the area without intervening, and the Knight Order never deploys—Babilon is deliberately left to be destroyed.
3. Mesaes's Breakdown: Mesaes awakens fully conscious of her humiliation, becomes hysterical/mad, and is subdued and arrested by her own father's order. Babilon intends to hand her over to the Nine Luo God Clan.
4. The Battle: Nine Luo God Saburo (the clan's "god of slaughter") leads the assault, revealing that Babilon's guards have confessed and that Master Imbas (Babilon's retainer who prepared the curse) has been captured. Nine Luo God Naraku himself appears, completely maddened, deploying Divine Armament Hydra to smash through the manor's defenses.
5. Babilon's Escape Deal: With his manor collapsing and factions closing in, Babilon contacts the [Zi Wei Emperor] of the [Heavenly Court]. He offers two Dao Beacon Fragments in exchange for safe escort out of [Malindo]. The Emperor accepts, but secretly orders his men to take both fragments once Babilon leaves Malindo's range.
6. Babilon's Back-Up Plan: After the Heavenly Court deal, Babilon secretly contacts Mr. [Fu Zao], seeking a meeting with "that person" (implied to be a mysterious entity). He reveals he has two Dao Beacon Fragments and claims to possess authorization from the Sun-Moon Empress (the former Empress of the Empire), which Mr. Fu Zao acknowledges as valid.

Character Developments

• Lord Babilon: Falls from a powerful Imperial Chancellor to a desperate fugitive. He is betrayed by his allies, spat blood from stress, and is forced to abandon his seat of power. Shows shrewdness in arranging dual escape plans but is clearly cornered.
• Mesaes: Completely destroyed psychologically—reduced from a proud Young Lady to a screaming madwoman. Her father's disgust toward her is explicit; she is arrested by her own family.
• Nine Luo God Naraku: Fully descends into madness. Aware his political future is ruined, he no longer cares about consequences and personally joins the assault demanding total destruction. His authority within the clan is sufficient to mobilize their strongest forces.
• Queen [Fenghua]: Revealed as coldly calculating—she refuses to save Babilon and instead secretly plans to seize the Sun-Moon Empress's treasury key from House Babilon's downfall, cooperating with [Star Ring].
• The Zi Wei Emperor: Pragmatic and ruthless—accepts Babilon's payment but plans to have him killed afterward to reclaim both fragments anyway.

Significant Themes

• Karmic decline: The pride of House Babilon leads to its rapid, total collapse—the "doom" foreshadowed earlier.
• Political predation: Allies and rivals circle like vultures; Babilon's "friends" all demand concessions or plot his death.
• Live-streamed humiliation and honor culture: Naraku's dishonor is public and permanent, making him a liability to his clan and driving him to suicidal recklessness.
• Betrayal and self-preservation: Babilon's loyalties are transactional; his retainer Imbas and guards confess under pressure. Even the Emperor he bargains with plans to betray him.
• The Dao Beacon Fragments: Serve as a valuable bargaining chip and McGuffin, sought by multiple powers (Heavenly Court, the mysterious "that person" behind Fu Zao).

Character Interactions

• King Artesia ↔ Attendant: Learns of the crisis, contacts [Star Patrol] but is ineffective; shows the crown's unwillingness to protect Babilon.
• Babilon ↔ Queen Fenghua: He begs for help; she coldly refuses and demands he hand over Mesaes. He calls her a "bitch" in private after the call ends.
• Babilon ↔ Mesaes: He kicks her in disgust when she raves for revenge; orders her arrested for her own madness.
• Babilon ↔ Nine Luo God Saburo/Naraku: Babilon pleads and offers compensation; they reject all talk and demand total destruction.
• Babilon ↔ Zi Wei Emperor: A cold transactional bargain—escort for Dao Beacon Fragments, both parties planning deception.
• Babilon ↔ Mr. Fu Zao: An ominous, cryptic negotiation—Fu Zao's "heh heh heh" laughter implies Babilon is dealing with something sinister; the Sun-Moon Empress's authorization is Babilon's final card.
• Zi Wei Emperor ↔ Subordinate: The Emperor reveals his true intention—take both fragments after killing Babilon.
• Francis ↔ Carl: Francis is having Babilon tracked; he anticipated Babilon would flee and is moving to intercept/acquire his assets.

• Britai jumps at the mission to escape paperwork and to "balance" his department's notoriously messy accounts.
• During the negotiation, Babilon initially demands elimination of the Nine Luo God Clan—which proves unaffordable. Britai counters with brutal options: permanent erasure (bypassing Life Bank backups) or capturing the Nine Luo God Clan leader.
• Babilon agrees to the capture, offering wealth percentages. Britai greedily pushes him to 70% and then demands the Empress's Vault Key.
• Babilon initially objects, nearly kills the deal, but ultimately caves and signs an ominous contract: 2 Dao Beacon Fragments + 70% of family wealth + Empress's Vault Key.
• Britai threatens Babilon's 37 million family members if he reneges; Fu Zao is ordered to have the "Black God Blade" execute the mission.
• Britai privately exults: he exploited a loophole (key vs. vault contents) to balance his accounts and keep extra wealth for himself.

2. Character Developments

• Britai: Lazy, greedy, hot-tempered, but shrewd. His main motivation is escaping paperwork and greedily skimming profits while staying technically "within the rules." His greed overshadows any pretense of principle.
• Dorothea: Pragmatic and controlling; she exploits Britai's desperation by demanding 50% of his earnings to do his accounts. She is skeptical and sharp.
• Veldi: Cynical, observant, and indifferent. He sees through Dorothea's excuses but doesn't intervene. Affluent, so not driven by greed.
• Lord Babilon: Desperate and initially cunning (testing the waters with an outrageous demand), but overmatched. He ends up sacrificing nearly everything—wealth, a priceless vault key—for survival and a chance to rise again.
• Mister Fu Zao: A middleman who took bribes from Babilon; subordinate, pragmatic, and aware of Britai's temper.

3. Significant Themes

• Greed and exploitation: Britai's negotiation is pure pressure tactics—bleeding Babilon dry while rationalizing it as "business" and "rules."
• Power imbalance: The organization's overwhelming power (erasing Life Bank backups, capturing a clan leader) leaves Babilon no real bargaining power.
• Bureaucratic corruption: The sub-brand system, doctrinal loopholes, and "account balancing" frame criminal activity as administrative work.
• Survival over pride: Babilon sacrifices immense wealth and legacy for a chance to live and rebuild.
• Consequences and contracts: The ancient, ominous contract is binding; the organization enforces with terrifying finality.

4. Character Interactions

• Britai vs. Dorothea: Constant bickering over sloppy accounts; Dorothea uses her leverage to extort 50% of his future earnings.
• Veldi casually mediates and observes, siding with Dorothea's "reasonable" demand.
• Britai vs. Babilon: A one-sided negotiation—Britai dominates, mocks Babilon's audacity, tears his projection apart, and demands more until Babilon breaks.
• Fu Zao acts as a nervous buffer between the two, trying to salvage the deal after Babilon's initial blunder.
• Britai's closing monologue: Reveals his self-serving logic—he schemed to keep the vault's contents out of the contract, so those profits go to himself—showing that his "genius" is just creative corruption.

1. Key Plot Points

• Lord Babilon, on the verge of escaping, is grabbed by Yi Sheng Perfected Lord when he screams that the treasure hidden inside his body—the subspace ring containing his wealth, two Dao Beacon fragments, and the vault key—has suddenly vanished.
• Yi Sheng Perfected Lord suspects betrayal, throws Babilon aside, and tears through space to chase the stolen ring.
• Babilon is frantic: without the ring, he cannot satisfy Lord Britai, and the lives of all 37 million Babilon Family members are at stake. He sends deathsworn guards to recover it, while his old servant secretly reports the theft to an unknown party.
• In the sky, Babilon’s powerful proxy is losing to a berserk Nine Luo God Naraku. Babilon turns the tide by revealing that the Nine Luo God patriarch has been captured and threatens to publicly humiliate him unless the Nine Luo God forces withdraw.
• Naraku furiously refuses to believe it, but his uncle, Nine Luo God Saburo, convinces him to endure this humiliation and treat it as a political opportunity. Naraku eventually orders a ceasefire and agrees to let Babilon’s forces leave Malindo.
• Meanwhile, Xie Nan (Miss Nan) and Young Master Wild watch the standoff. Wild explains the secret behind Life Bank insurance: clients are resurrected using alternate selves from other Minor Worlds, tracked by an incomplete Super Divine Artifact possibly linked to the Other Shore Vessel.
• Brother Guevara, still injured and with no useful abilities, is caught by Yi Sheng Perfected Lord and crushed under the Yuanzhao Lingxu Palace Seal. He surrenders the ring by spitting it out.
• Just as Yi Sheng reaches for the ring, a gray tentacle from a spatial rift snatches it, then another attack severs the tentacle. A white-robed Star Ring wizard appears, and then a rugged man in wooden clogs carrying a long tachi picks up the ring and challenges both Yi Sheng and the wizard to fight him for it.

2. Character Developments

• Lord Babilon: Breaks down completely when the ring disappears, then regains his nerve and becomes even more ruthless, using hostages and humiliation as weapons.
• Yi Sheng Perfected Lord: Arrogant and merciless, focused entirely on recovering the ring; dismisses threats and refuses to be bargained with.
• Nine Luo God Naraku: Humiliated in battle, but through Saburo’s harsh advice, suppresses his rage and shows a new capacity for restraint and calculation.
• Nine Luo God Saburo: Pragmatic and cold-blooded; sees his brother’s capture not just as a crisis but as a chance for Naraku to grow into a stronger heir.
• Xie Nan / Miss Nan: Self-aware and sharp-tongued; realizes she was manipulated by Wild again, but stays composed and focused on the bigger picture.
• Young Master Wild: Casually reveals hidden

Summary: The Doomsday of the House of Babilon (Part Three)

• Yi Sheng Perfected Lord: Heavenly Court agent, cautious and strategic, recognizes the gravity of facing both Musashi and a Star Ring wizard.
• White-robed wizard: Star-Ring Academy member, passive and calculating, waiting to exploit chaos.

• Miss Nan: Receives the Red Haro upgrade, gains genuine firepower. Her perception (Black Soul) has elevated, allowing her to see higher-level entities.
• Long Xiruo: Bold, directly charges into an unknown formation without hesitation.
• Lord Babilon: Desperate, cornered, considering defection options (Mechanical Divine Court, Primordial node) to escape both his debts and pursuers.
• Di Ren: Uncompromising enforcer of imperial law, no personal favors even for the Empress's sake.

3. Significant Themes

• Political Intrigue & Betrayal: Factional conflicts (Heavenly Court, Star Ring, Abriel Empire, Nine Luo Clan) colliding over a stolen relic.
• Desperation & Survival: Babilon's fragile gamble—protected by enemies who need him alive, hunted by the law.
• Hidden Power & Identity: Musashi's concealed strength; Young Master Wild's true capabilities; the ambiguity of "real" vs. "fake" Solars.
• Chaos as Opportunity: Guevara notes chaos lets him hide; the white-robed wizard waits to exploit confusion; Wild jokes about taking potshots during the battle.

4. Character Interactions

• Musashi ↔ Yi Sheng Perfected Lord: Open combat, Musashi mocking and dominating, Yi Sheng increasingly wary.
• Musashi ↔ White-robed wizard: Terse standoff; Musashi dares him to act, wizard stays silent.
• Yi Sheng ↔ White-robed wizard: Mutual suspicion; Yi Sheng immediately identifies Star Ring affiliation.
• Young Master Wild ↔ Miss Nan: Banter-heavy partnership; Wild gifts upgrade, Miss Nan wary but grateful; Wild casually references "Sister-in-law" (Gamma).
• Babilon ↔ Nine Luo God Saburo: Hostile forced cooperation; Saburo furious at being blackmailed but bound by leverage.
• Di Ren ↔ Babilon: Law vs. necessity; Di Ren gives no quarter, Babilon's plea for the Empress's sake is rejected.

• Lucia ↔ Cecil: Commander/subordinate; Lucia orders increased surveillance of ceremony guests, showing proactive caution.

Summary: The Doomsday of the House of Babilon (Part 4)

Key Plot Points & Events

• Li Guo's deception: Awakening from a full day of sleep, Li Guo learns of the rapidly escalating battle on Lord Babilon's side. Unable to intervene directly, she orders Valia to drink a transformation potion and impersonate her while Li Guo secretly investigates the Pale Tower—the resting place of the Pale Goddess—to uncover why the Gela insectoid race was able to bypass defenses previously.
• The three-way battle: Yi Sheng Perfected Lord (of the Seven from Heaven's Palace) and a white-robed Star Ring wizard temporarily ally against Musashi, a ragged ronin warrior wielding the ring containing House of Babilon's wealth. Musashi defeats both—destroying six of the twelve Six Ding and Six Jia divine soldiers, cutting down the Infernal Flame Demon Monarch summoned by the wizard, and severing the wizard's arm.
• Guevara's inheritance: Trapped beneath the great seal, Brother Guevara entrusts Paul with a golden strand of hair containing his legacy/inheritance. Paul pulls it and is teleported safely out of the formation.
• Long Xiruo's arrival: The masked Freedom Army woman (revealed as "Sister Gamma") confronts the pinned Guevara, who tries to recruit her into helping him escape and steal the ring—even offering to "join" the Freedom Army (which he spins as going to a "brother organization for study").
• Climactic confrontation: Musashi becomes intrigued by Long Xiruo's strength. She unleashes her full power—Transcendent Holy Mark, True Dragon Power, and Xuanyuan: Godslayer—splitting the formation apart and summoning a massive golden sword formation to strike down upon him.
• Closing observation: Miss Nan and Young Master Wild watch from the sidelines as the confrontation unfolds, with Wild insisting his "sister" is gentle despite her devastating display of power.

Character Developments

• Li Guo: Remains strategic and calculating—even while weakened, she identifies the chaos as an opportunity to investigate the Pale Tower's secrets. Keeps even her loyal Jinxiu Corps in the dark about her impersonation.
• Valia: Given a high-stakes mission, driven by personal hatred toward the Gela insectoid race.
• Musashi: Revealed as a battle-obsessed, terrifyingly powerful ronin (likely titled Radiant Moon level or beyond) who toys with his opponents rather than finishing quickly. His true identity remains mysterious.
• Yi Sheng Perfected Lord: Badly defeated, wounded in the shoulder with a wound that won't self-heal—humiliated despite his divine status.
• White-robed wizard: Loses an arm but remains mentally unhinged—finds Musashi's strength exciting as "excellent material" for his research.
• Brother Guevara: Pragmatic and resourceful even while pinned down; passes on his inheritance and twists his "loyalty" to suit immediate survival needs.
• Long Xiruo: Revealed to be far more powerful than she initially appeared—a pinnacle martial artist with extraordinary abilities, and surprisingly the gentle "Sister Gamma" of Young Master Wild. Her hostility toward Musashi spikes intensely when she calls him a "little dwarf pirate," implying a past grudge.

Significant Themes

• Opportunism in chaos: Characters use major distractions as cover for hidden agendas (Li Guo investigating the Pale Tower while attention is fixed on the battle).
• The joy of battle: Musashi embodies the battle-lust archetype—he fights for pleasure, not just gain, and grows more excited as opponents get stronger.
• Temporary alliances: The Perfected Lord and Star Ring wizard cooperate only out of shared desperation; trust dissolves the moment it proves inconvenient.
• Identity and deception: Valia impersonating Li Guo; Long Xiruo being both Freedom Army and "Sister Gamma"; Guevara ready to "switch jobs" on a whim.
• Comic relief amid violence: Guevara's banter, Wild's starry-eyed defense of his gentle sister, and the absurd logic of "stealing by ability."

Character Interactions

• Li Guo ↔ Valia: Trusting commander-delegate relationship; Li Guo's whispered orders set Valia on a dangerous independent mission.
• Yi Sheng Perfected Lord ↔ White-robed wizard: Reluctant alliance against a common threat, with mutual suspicion throughout.
• Guevara ↔ Paul: Bitter but caring—Guevara passes on his inheritance just before Paul is teleported away.
• Guevara ↔ Long Xiruo: Comedic hostile banter—he demands the Holy Mark back, she steps on his head; he attempts to recruit her into a scheme, even offering to "join" her organization.
• Musashi ↔ Long Xiruo: Mutual recognition of each other's strength; his interest turns to shock as her hostility and power surge, setting up the chapter's climax.
• Miss Nan ↔ Young Master Wild: Witnesses providing comic perspective—Nan wary of the destruction, Wild stubbornly insisting his sister's violence is just "being a little prickly."

Summary: The Doomsday of the House of Babilon (Part Five)

1. Key Plot Points & Events

• On the planet Malindo, a massive energy eruption occurs above the First District, triggering planetary alarms.
• Zi Wei Emperor recognizes the power as Dragon Qi from the True Dragon of Shenzhou (Long Xiruo) and immediately teleports to rescue Yi Sheng Perfected Lord from his formation, fleeing via Lesser Void Shift.
• Long Xiruo unleashes a devastating golden sword strike—Myriad Tribulations Undying: Gods of the Nine Provinces—combining her Holy Mark and stored original sword qi from Xuanyuan: Godslayer.
• The ronin Musashi counters with his ultimate blade technique, Answer, causing a catastrophic collision.
• The resulting energy storm annihilates nearby starships, including the House of Babilon's flagship, and ravages half of Malindo, shattering buildings across districts.
• Brother Guevara, freed from a seal by the explosion, is ambushed and captured by a white-robed Star Ring wizard, who severs his own arm and uses Life-Reaping Art on Guevara.
• The Knight Order under Grand Commander Di Ren survives heavily damaged; Nine Luo God Saburo and Naraku go missing in the chaos.
• Long Xiruo descends into the rift to confront Musashi. He concedes, gives her a silver ring as spoils, and explains their conflict may stem from ancient Yanhuang–Fusang racial grudges.
• Long Xiruo attacks again; Musashi escapes through a black rift. She fires multiple strands of original sword qi and thousands of Dragon Qi blasts into it.
• Musashi survives in space after destroying a meteorite, using a precious token to block one attack. He realizes Long Xiruo is the True Dragon of Shenzhou of Forbidden World 003 and begins contemplating hunting her.

2. Character Developments

• Long Xiruo: Shows overwhelming power and recklessness; briefly regrets overdoing it but dismisses it. Displays deep hostility toward samurai/ronin/onmyoji, hinting at ancestral or cultural grudges.
• Musashi: A prideful, battle-hungry ronin. He acknowledges defeat and retreats when further fighting would destroy Malindo, but becomes intrigued by the challenge of hunting the True Dragon.
• Zi Wei Emperor: Extremely cautious, prioritizing survival over pride; recognizes the True Dragon’s danger and avoids confrontation.
• Brother Guevara: Weakened by previous injuries, he becomes an easy target and is captured as “material” for the wizard’s experiments.
• White-robed wizard: Opportunistic and ruthless, willing to lose an arm to secure a valuable captive.

3. Significant Themes

• Overwhelming power and collateral destruction: A single clash between top-tier beings devastates an entire planet’s infrastructure.
• Ancient racial and cultural animosity: Long Xiruo’s hatred of Fusang-related figures echoes historical Yanhuang–Fusang conflicts; Musashi recognizes this pattern across worlds.
• Caution vs. recklessness: Zi Wei Emperor flees to avoid entanglement, while Long Xiruo pushes attacks to extremes without regard for consequences.
• Consequences of escalation: The chapter ends with Musashi considering hunting Long Xiruo, setting up future conflict.

4. Character Interactions

• Zi Wei Emperor & Yi Sheng Perfected Lord: Zi Wei’s timely intervention saves Yi Sheng from certain death, showing loyalty and strategic prudence.
• Long Xiruo & Musashi: A duel of equals—Musashi concedes and offers a token of defeat, but Long Xiruo refuses peace, attacking again. Their exchange is marked by mutual respect for power but deep personal antagonism.
• White-robed wizard & Guevara: A predatory ambush; the wizard exploits Guevara’s weakened state and captures him.
• Di Ren & Knight Order: They observe the catastrophe, highlighting their role as witnesses and potential future responders.

Summary: "The End of the Babilon Family"

Key Plot Points & Events

1. Long Xiruo's escape: After failing to capture her "marked" warrior (Wild), Long Xiruo flees, carrying the stolen ring. She rationalizes her killings as permissible since she's outside the Divine Land—a self-proclaimed "Outer Realm Heavenly Demon." She leaves the chaotic battlefield for others to clean up.
2. Aftermath at Malindo: The Babilon district lies in ruins. A Knight Order knight inspecting a fissure finds it stopped less than 100 meters from Malindo's core—raising the unsettling question of whether the destruction was deliberate or merely luck. Nine Luo God survivors are reported missing.
3. Lord Babilon's desperation: Deep underground, a wounded Babilon flees with loyal guards. His flagship and wealth are destroyed; the all-important ring is lost. He's terrified to use Life Bank (having offended Void Bank). His last hope is to leverage Jiuluo Shen Dazhi (a hostage) for a deal with the Mechanical Divine Court.
4. Ambush and capture: Nine Luo God Saburo and Nine Luo God Naraku ambush Babilon. Saburo kills Number One Substitute. Babilon throws a loyal servant into Hydra to save himself—then is captured and mutilated by Naraku. Saburo convinces Naraku to keep Babilon alive to recover his standing back home, referencing Naraku's mother Xuenai.
5. Babilon's death: A black-and-red beam instantly kills Babilon (Miss Nan's overt kill). Naraku's hope collapses—he goes berserk with Divine Armor corruption, attacks Saburo, and the barely-conscious Saburo is incapacitated.
6. Knight Order intervention: Commander Di Ren arrives in God-Slaying Armor Venerable, assumes Nine Luo God killed Babilon, and restrains the berserk Naraku. He orders Saburo's capture and takes all bodies for evidence.
7. Miss Nan's post-kill analysis & memory tampering: Miss Nan attempts to extract Babilon's soul but discovers it's bound by a contract mark—Origin's mark (Britai's). She realizes the Nine Luo God patriarch's kidnapping was the order's content, and that Babilon's soul was auto-seized to offset the debt. She then corrupts corpses' memories to frame Naraku as Babilon's killer.
8. Di Ren's suspicion: Despite the evidence, Di Ren senses an invisible hand manipulating the entire day's events.
9. Final reveal: Britai receives Babilon's soul and complains about the tedious contract (tens of millions of souls owed). He then offers Babilon a new deal: recover the ring for an additional ten million clan souls.

Character Developments

• Miss Nan (Xie Nan): Steps up as a ruthless strategist and "shadow manipulator." She kills Babilon purely for advantage (creating succession chaos), attempts soul extraction for intel, tampers with memories to frame a guilty-looking party, and is now recognized as an Origin-level practitioner. Her moral flexibility is fully displayed.
• Wild: Fully complicit in Miss Nan's schemes, playfully urges her to frame Naraku; maintains his stance that life is better without entanglements, particularly with Long Xiruo (whom he avoids due to fear of "big brother's" jealousy—a running joke).
• Long Xiruo: Pragmatic and self-justifying; defines morality based on geography (killing within the Divine Land is a crime; outside it, she's a heavenly demon). Completely unconcerned with collateral damage.
• Lord Babilon: Ruled by greed and self-preservation to the end—sacrifices a devoted subordinate without hesitation. His final despair is the collapse of his power, status, and survival plans.
• Nine Luo God Naraku: Emotionally volatile, spirals from humiliation to brief hope to full madness and Divine Armor corruption; ultimately captured, broken.
• Nine Luo God Saburo: Attempts to be the shrewd uncle, salvaging Naraku's position and Babilon's value as a hostage, but is undone by his own depleted state and Miss Nan's interference.
• Di Ren: Competent and perceptive, but arrives too late; his suspicion of a hidden orchestrator shows growing awareness of higher-level manipulation.

Significant Themes

• Moral relativism: Long Xiruo's internal code is entirely location-dependent—murder is fine as long as it's not "home."
• The price of ambition: Babilon's rise—and fall—demonstrates the loneliness and paranoia of those who sacrifice everything to power; his corpse itself becomes a debt to be collected.
• Shadow manipulation: Miss Nan acts as the invisible hand—framing the guilty, covering tracks, exploiting chaos for maximal benefit. The narrative highlights how history is often shaped by those who act unseen.
• Cosmic-level players: Britai and "Origin" represent unfathomable forces treating souls as currency and mortals as pieces on a board; even a family's patriarch is a mere "trash" whose life is valued only for outstanding debts.
• Nepotism and loyalty: Saburo's loyalty is explained by blood (Naraku being his sister's son), underscoring how family bonds drive even strategic decisions.

Character Interactions

• Long Xiruo ↔ Miss Nan/Wild: A charged, unresolved standoff. Long Xiruo retreats despite having the advantage; Miss Nan disengages Red Haro; Wild deliberately avoids greeting her—their relationship (which includes romantic history with a third party) is complex and unspoken.
• Miss Nan ↔ Wild: Bantering co-conspirators. Wild flatters her ("demonic saintess," "I like you so much") while she deflects with humor. Their dynamic is equal and playful even when they're committing murder.
• Naraku ↔ Saburo: An uncle-nephew bond built on guilt, sentiment, and political calculation. Saburo slaps Naraku to ground him, invokes his dead mother, and tries to redirect his rage into ambition—ultimately failing.
• Babilon ↔ subordinates/attacker: Babilon's cruelty to his loyal servant becomes a mirror of his own fate—he sacrifices others, then is cast fuel for the same machine.
• Di Ren ↔ the scene: A professional investigator but a bystander to the true cause; he sees the "hand" but cannot grasp it, highlighting the gap between mortal power and Origin-level players.
  Overall: The chapter closes the Babilon arc with a cascade of death, chaos, and double-crossing—while Miss Nan tightens her grip on god-level intrigues and Britai's cruel contract system looms over all.

Summary: "Conditions Were Set Too Low!"

1. Key Plot Points and Events

• The Empire has deployed troops around Lord Babilon's family's star systems following his death; his death is officially framed as a private grievance between him and the Nine Luo God Clan, not involving the Empire or TGX.
• Nine Luo God Dazhi was abducted; Naraku and Saburo are imprisoned at Knight Order headquarters.
• The Void Bank blames Babilon's failed life insurance on a "temporary employee's data error" and offers triple compensation—a transparent excuse that demonstrates the bank's ultimate interpretive power.
• Li Guo investigates possible tampering with the Pale Goddess surveillance data from the night the Gela insectoids were discovered; only the Emperor, the Queen Mother, and the Princess could have altered it.
• Long Xiruo gives Boss Luo a ring containing Babilon's assets, two Dao Beacon fragments, and a key to the Sun-Moon Empress's secret treasury.
• Li Guo reveals that the Sun-Moon Empress did not use Life Bank services, died under mysterious unexplained circumstances, and had led a disastrous expedition into the Primordial Node two hundred years prior (less than 1 in 10 survived)—details possibly known only to Grand Commander Di Ren.
• Boss Luo gives Li Guo the treasury key as an "investment" and secretly lifts her Eternal Dream curse without her knowledge.
• Li Guo realizes she set her conditions too low, ending the chapter.

2. Character Developments

• Li Guo: Grows from a passive, information-starved princess into a decisive risk-taker. Her conversation about the curse shows her willingness to become Boss Luo's "blade" in exchange for freedom and agency, demonstrating both ambition and pragmatism.
• Boss Luo: Reveals his sophistication—casually handling imperial treasures, easily lifting curses, and making cryptic references to "his people." His offer of the key shows he values secrets over material wealth and is deliberately maneuvering Li Guo into a position of dependence.
• Long Xiruo: Departs through the Critical Gate, having a moment of uncharacteristic sentimentality when she offers to carry a message—only to be annoyed when Boss Luo reveals he's in regular contact with the person anyway.

3. Significant Themes

• Information asymmetry and power: Li Guo's weakness stems from delayed information, while Boss Luo's power comes from knowing more than everyone else. The entire political situation turns on who controls data (Void Bank's records, Pale Goddess surveillance).
• Ambition versus caution: Li Guo's choice to take the key despite being warned of unthinkable enemies illustrates the tension between safety and ambition.
• The illusion of control: The Void Bank's convenient "temporary employee" excuse shows how institutions wield final interpretive power; likewise, Boss Luo's effortless curse-lifting undermines Li Guo's assumptions about her own situation.
• Hidden history and imperial secrets: The Sun-Moon Empress's mysterious death, the secret treasury, and the Primordial Node expedition all point to a buried truth that powerful figures have conspired to conceal.

4. Character Interactions

• Li Guo & Valia: Loyal subordinate relationship; Valia presents intelligence and warns of the Princess's apparent connection to the insectoid incident, but Li Guo dismisses the theory based on Lucia's character.
• Boss Luo & Long Xiruo: Playful, teasing dynamic; she tosses him the ring, accuses him of calling her a freeloader, and has one brief sentimental moment before leaving annoyed.
• Boss Luo & Li Guo: The core interaction. He casually mentions possessing the treasury key and Dao Beacon fragments, tests her reaction, then offers her the key in exchange for her service. She negotiates for her curse to be lifted; he reveals it's already done, leaving her stunned and feeling she undersold herself.

章节概要：《打破僵局的方法》

1. 关键情节与事件

• 梅萨埃斯与李果的会面：
  梅萨埃斯被骑士团押送，与李果见面。李果提出条件：只要梅萨埃斯同意继承巴比隆家族首领之位，帝国将承认她是唯一合法继承人，并允许她离开、不会被交给“九罗神族”。梅萨埃斯讽刺自己会成为“吉祥物大公”，但最终被迫接受。她追问是否是李果陷害自己，李果没有正面回答，只说她既然曾想陷害他人，就该有被反噬的准备。
• 梅萨埃斯被“无害化”处理：
  李果离开后，医生与骑士团进入，强制给梅萨埃斯注射“基因毁灭注射液”和“精神力毁灭注射液”，彻底废掉她的能力。梅萨埃斯崩溃反抗，但无力阻止。她被承诺醒来后会躺在明亮房间的软床上，意味着从此失去一切力量与自由。
• 李果询问狄仁旧事：
  李果以“安乐公主”身份返回骑士团总部，单独询问首领狄仁关于“元结点”事件、女皇与神秘敌人遇袭的详情。狄仁声称档案已记录完整，没有可补充的。李果随后展示一把神秘钥匙，狄仁表示认不出来源。
• 狄仁的秘密：
  李果离开后，狄仁认出了那把钥匙，并回忆起与女皇的誓言冲突：“我是帝国骑士，忠于皇帝”“我就是皇帝！女皇！向我效忠”！他重新阅读《永恒梦魇诅咒调查报告》。
• 李果散布消息：
  李果在飞艇上向维纳西斯确认狄仁知情但不会开口。她命令瓦利娅向外散布“女皇宝库钥匙已现世”的消息，故意让科学侧的各方势力陷入混乱，吸引暗中的敌人上钩。维纳西斯评价这招虽老套但有效。
• 露西亚与塞西尔议事：
  露西亚回到大公府，发现白芷留的汤，但说不饿，让侍女端走。塞西尔喝了汤并夸奖，随后露西亚表示：梅萨埃斯继承地位确认后，巴比隆家族后人必会反叛，她要趁乱吞下最大的利益。她还透露新领地不是为了自己，而是给白芷——因为拉斐尔能继承“奥丁娜遗产”，白芷却不能，这不公平。塞西尔吐槽她“口是心非”，被露西亚用精神力扔出窗外。
• 费尔南多王子送礼：
  塞西尔被扔出后遇见美狐（Melon Fox），得知费尔南多王子送来了一批物品，人已经离开。塞西尔指示将东西送到露西亚的古董收藏室，并解释费尔南多只是“古董收藏家”，经常送古董来充实收藏室，并不稀奇。
