Chapter Summaries

Little Griseo considered the weakened World Wills of the Honkai Impact 2nd worlds and decided against traveling to them, preferring to bring characters to her carnival instead. She suspected that the Biying Bird might be created from the power and hopes of a single world, and recalled how it had defeated the Will Expander.

• Little Griseo observed that many Honkai Impact 2nd World Wills had been damaged by the Abyss Will and that their timelines and histories varied.

Little Griseo arranged for Kiana and Yae to become higher-dimensional Biying Birds while accepting that the Second Eruption world's World Will would endure the Abyss Will's attacks. In the Third Eruption world, Kevin reclaimed Fu Hua's soul feather, and Herya and Coralie arrived in Changkong City as Sinner's Elegy began.

• Sinner's Elegy began in Changkong City, where Herya and Coralie witnessed the violent thunder and lightning.

• Yae carried Kiana to the rooftop, confessed her feelings, and flew off with her to deal with Changkong City’s remaining problems.

• Theresa, Tesla, and the others prioritized protecting the children in the Nest and considered moving them to safety.
• Theresa asked Bronya to identify the person who had contacted Hyperion.

Theresa, Bronya, and Seele went to Chiba Academy after receiving a mysterious message and found the devastation left by the Herrschers of Thunder and Void. They met Herya and Coralie on the rooftop, and Seele suggested they return to the Hyperion to talk.

• Theresa, Bronya, and Seele headed to Chiba Academy on foot because few people remained available on the Hyperion.
• Bronya told Theresa that the sender's IP was exposed but that the message's methods strangely resembled her own.

• Theresa, Bronya, and Seele met Herya and Coralie on the rooftop where the message had come from.
• Seele suggested that they all return to the Hyperion before discussing the situation, and Herya and Coralie agreed.

• Theresa decided to continue the discussion after they returned to the Hyperion and led the group onward.
• Seele carried Kiana, while Herya and Coralie stayed quiet rather than explain things to the distracted group.
• The group encountered Honkai Beasts, Quantum Shadows, and dead apostles, but no Imaginary Constructs.

• Bronya noticed that Herya and Coralie seemed isolated, as though they were only passing through the events around them.

Little Griseo understood that Herya and Coralie had chosen to accept the coming end and wanted their future memories from life on the Ark sent back to their younger selves. She resented that their wish seemed to require her to let them go, even as she recognized that Goddess Griseo would honor it.

• Little Griseo knew Herya and Coralie had shared their plans through a wish to Goddess Griseo.

• Little Griseo objected to carrying out the wish, though she knew Goddess Griseo would not refuse it.

Little Griseo separated Herya and Coralie from their original timeline and grafted them into a new Honkai Impact 3rd world line where they could remain on the Ark. She continued working in her higher-dimensional state, leaving herself to handle the outside world because Miss Ark could not leave the Ark.

Little Griseo organized a worldwide carnival and live competition for the Honkai Impact 3rd world, with Honkai Impact 2nd and the Ark watching remotely.

• Little Griseo decided the carnival needed grander and more entertaining games than Verne's script described.
• Little Griseo completed the Honkai Impact 2nd link and set up the main stage for Honkai Impact 3rd.
• Little Griseo arranged for everyone in Honkai Impact 3rd, from special characters to ordinary civilians, to watch and participate in the competition.
• Little Griseo planned broadcasts for Honkai Impact 2nd and the Ark, with viewers interacting online rather than meeting in person.

Little Griseo reflected on how the competition could bring the Ark’s worlds closer together and decided to make the event a recurring carnival. She chose the Beanfall Man minigames for the first competition, which would include points contests, timed races, and survival battles.

• Little Griseo considered how the competition could help the Ark’s worlds become more familiar and connected.
• Little Griseo decided that the event could become a recurring gathering for the worlds under her rule.
• Little Griseo chose the Beanfall Man series as the first event’s minigames.
• Little Griseo outlined the Beanfall Man formats: points contests, obstacle-course races, and survival battles.

Little Griseo arranged for the entire Honkai world to hear her announcement that she would guide chosen worlds and grant them protection. The people struggled to understand who the proclaimed “Goddess Griseo” was as the message continued.

• Little Griseo recalled that her competition might include a riddle game involving briefly displayed floor patterns.
• Little Griseo summoned Miss Sansan, Little Cocoon, the current-era Cocoon of Finality, and the World Will to help her.

• The people questioned the title “Goddess Griseo,” and some suspected a Herrscher was behind the announcement.
• The proclamation continued with the word “However.”

A mysterious announcement declared that worlds afflicted by Honkai would compete for the Goddess’s protection, with only one world surviving. People around the world wondered what the announcement meant and who would handle the competition, then began discussing the spectacle.

• An announcement said that one world would receive the Goddess’s protection, which would end Honkai and bring peace and abundance.
• The announcement revealed that a competition spanning numerous worlds would begin in three days, and only the victor would survive.
• People around the world were stunned and considered whether the announcement was a prank or a new Herrscher’s scheme.
• Many civilians worried that countless worlds might compete for the single winning spot, but reasoned that organizations like Schicksal should be more concerned.
• People calmed down and began discussing the unexpected news.

The notices explained who could represent a world in the Beanfall Man carnival and how contestants were selected. In the Previous Land of Reminiscence, memory Elysia wanted to participate, but Elysia from the Previous Era said she was ineligible because she came from another world.

• Otto asked Kallen whether they could compete as contestants from their world, and Miss Judas confirmed that Kallen could participate but she could not.

• Memory Elysia asked Elysia from the Previous Era if she would enter the game, and Elysia declined because she came from another world.
• Memory Mobius objected to relying on outside help, while the other memory figures read the notices projected by Little Griseo.

The chapter explained that Little Griseo’s carnival livestream would be projected across the world so everyone could watch. Current Era Kevin considered how to prepare for the event and resolved to pursue Finality if he got the chance.

• The carnival livestream was set to appear across the sky worldwide, including in regions without electronic devices and for the memory-based Flame-Chasers.
• Current Era Kevin returned to the World Serpent after meeting Previous Era Kevin and Su, and Gray Serpent gave him a latest-model phone.
• Kevin wondered whether participants would compete using forms supplied by the system and considered how his own status might improve his odds of being chosen.
• Kevin contemplated using Prometheus XVII’s backdoor to steal the power of Finality, complete his evolution, and become Finality Kevin.
• Kevin closed his eyes and wondered whether Mei would want him to seize the opportunity.

Kevin of the current era asked Prometheus XVII for the power of Finality, but she refused and chose to stay with the Cocoon of Finality and Little Griseo. As the worlds prepared for Beanfall Man competitions with contestants’ abilities equalized, their people focused on finding ways to win.

• Kevin of the current era contacted Prometheus XVII, who refused to give him the power of Finality and said she was following the Cocoon of Finality and Little Griseo.
• The current-era Cocoon of Finality explained that it had become a new existence combined with Prometheus XVII, unlike the Cocoon from the previous era.
• The Cocoon of Finality pointed out that the Beanfall Man rules would make strength irrelevant by giving all sapient contestants the same chibi bodies.
• People from Schicksal and Anti-Entropy recognized that the competitions would level the differences between scientists, warriors, and other contestants.
• The worlds’ representatives considered seeking contestants with flexible minds, since winning the competitions mattered more to them than playing fairly.
