Chapter Summaries

Little Griseo explained that the Will of Honkai in Deified Kiana’s world was an Abyss Will, born from polluted Honkai and serving a multiversal entity called the Will Expander. Deified Kiana was left questioning whether using Honkai to fight Honkai had been a mistake.

• Little Griseo explained that Honkai was a mechanism and that the black sludge was the manifestation of the Will of Honkai.

• Deified Kiana asked whether everything they had done using Honkai to fight Honkai had been wrong.

Little Griseo explained to Deified Kiana how the Will Expander exploited worlds under trial and why it feared the Imaginary Tree. She ended by telling Kiana that intelligence was harder for more powerful beings to develop.

• Little Griseo explained that the Will Expander planted seeds and corrupted Honkai to replace a world's trial, hoping to claim worlds that failed.

• Deified Kiana reflected on how little her status as the End meant to truly high-dimensional existences.
• Little Griseo told Deified Kiana that the more powerful an existence was, the harder it was for it to develop intelligence.

Little Griseo explained how the Imaginary Tree’s growing hostility toward the Will Expander could give Deified Kiana a chance to become a Biying Bird. She proposed that Kiana’s success could spread the completed reality of their world to neighboring worlds and save them from the Abyss Will.

• Little Griseo promised to explain Deified Kiana's absence to Deified Mei and help calm her down.
• The second competition began as a Survival Challenge in which contestants were eliminated after losing three lives.
• The Beanfall Men used acceleration, double-jumps, and timed bombs that could blast nearby contestants out of the arena.

Little Griseo explained the rules for the arena’s bomb-and-knockback competition, including bombs, barriers, and contestants’ unique ultimate skills. Alicia and Elysia’s memory returned as hosts, while a new guest and a contestant lineup centered on Yae were introduced alongside Deified Mei.

The livestream’s second match featured Deified Mei and other versions of Mei and Raiden Mei from different worlds, drawing attention to their connections and awkward encounters. Kallen then appeared with a female Siegfried, leaving Cecilia struggling to react to her husband’s counterpart.

• Deified Mei appeared onstage, and the livestream celebrated while hoping to hear about her relationship with Deified Kiana and Raiden Kashiwagi.
• Deified Mei refused to play along with the audience’s gossip, remaining cold and reserved.
• God-Slaying Mei, Hokushin Mei, Jana, Phyllis, and the Stigmata Terminal appeared from the Honkai 2 side, and the Terminal caught Deified Mei’s attention.

• Cecilia from Sirin the Little Pufferfish’s time period appeared, followed by Kallen with a gender-swapped Siegfried.
• Cecilia struggled to find words as she looked at her husband’s counterpart.

Ziegfried learned why Kevin had sealed him in the Stigmata Space and watched a female version of himself appear on the screen. Meanwhile, current-era Kevin questioned Yae about the competition, while the contestants and viewers speculated about its purpose.

• The Stigmata Will told Ziegfried that the female figure on the screen was another world's Ziegfried, not his wife or himself.
• Ziegfried realized his body had reached its limit from using Honkai Beast genes and Heavenly Fire, and that the Stigmata Will had protected his consciousness from assimilation.
• Current-era Kevin confronted Yae in the preparation hall and asked what she was trying to do.
• The contestants and viewers wondered why the competitors were all girls and speculated about the competition's purpose.
• The contestants became more carefree and childish after taking on the form of a Beanfell Man.

• Fire-chasing Duck asked Fire-chasing Seele why Beanfal Man had such charm, and Seele said the competition let people from parallel worlds compete and relax.

• Memory-body Mobius avoided joining the competition because she did not want Alicia to mock her.
• Otto frantically voted for Kallen as a Beanfal Man, and Miss Judas looked disgusted beside him.

Little Griseo’s carnival let Deified Mei enjoy herself as a Beanfall Man, while Deified Kiana watched happily and placed her hopes in Little Griseo. The competition also exposed the Meis’ resentment toward Deified Mei, and the chapter leaves them arguing over their different choices and losses.

• Deified Kiana watched Deified Mei fool around as a Beanfall Man and felt happy that she could finally enjoy herself.
• Deified Kiana decided to trust Little Griseo to save their world and vowed to offer her everything.
• Deified Mei failed to win the competition’s championship, partly because Yae’s actions caused trouble.
• Deified Mei blamed God-Slaying Mei and Herrscher of Thunder Mei for failing to protect their Kianas, and both Meis argued back.

• The gathered participants argued over whether Bronya, Seele, or someone else would be the theme of the next competition.

• Deified Mei entered the special space and found Deified Kiana happily eating desserts in a villa-like setting, realizing she was not being mistreated.
• Deified Kiana prepared to tell Deified Mei what she knew and encouraged her to hold on to hope, since their emotional state and compatibility could help the Biying Bird descend.

Little Griseo visited the Honkai Impact 2nd World Will, which thanked her for securing a hopeful path for the world. After returning to the Ark, she rested in Mobius’s arms and told her about what had happened.

• Deified Kiana believed Deified Mei would support her decision despite the risks and the debt she felt she owed her.
• Little Griseo left Deified Mei and Deified Kiana to talk and visited the Honkai Impact 2nd World Will.
• The Honkai Impact 2nd World Will thanked Little Griseo for removing uncertainties that could have led to the Biying Bird never appearing and the Abyss Will winning.
• Little Griseo returned to the Ark, rested in Mobius’s arms, and recounted what had happened.

Mobius questioned Little Griseo about how high-dimensional beings understood and used their abilities, seeking a precise explanation. Little Griseo said the process was too complicated to explain and implied she had chosen her current approach because she might not be able to handle Will Expander; Mobius continued probing her reasoning.

• Mobius complained that high-dimensional beings had not given her a clear explanation of dimensions and levels of existence.
• Little Griseo thought high-dimensional abilities were too complicated for their users to explain clearly and that they often acted on instinct.
• Little Griseo compared human abilities to natural forces from an ant’s perspective, arguing that people could not explain them without specific study.
• Mobius asked whether Little Griseo had chosen her current method because she might not be able to handle Will Expander, and Little Griseo hummed in response.
• Mobius asked whether Little Griseo believed this method was the best option and most likely to work, and Little Griseo hummed again.

Mobius reflected on how incomprehensible higher-dimensional beings were, but remained eager to study Little Griseo. Little Griseo woke in Mobius’s arms and called her Grandma Mobius, leaving Mobius to accept the nickname after failing to get her to say Big Sister.

• Mobius considered how higher-dimensional information might overwhelm even the most powerful minds, yet decided that observing Little Griseo was worth pursuing.
• Little Griseo slowly opened her eyes while resting in Mobius’s arms and saw only a patch of sky.
• Little Griseo called Mobius “Grandma Mobius,” and Mobius asked her to call her Big Sister instead.
• Little Griseo repeated “Grandma Mobius,” and Mobius gave up correcting her while gently stroking her hair and face.

Little Griseo asked Mobius whether she would accept becoming a higher-dimensional existence without achieving it through her own efforts. Mobius eagerly wanted to ascend and asked whether Little Griseo had a plan.

• Little Griseo asked Mobius if she would accept becoming higher-dimensional through someone else's means.
• Mobius realized she wanted the chance, regardless of how she achieved it.
• Mobius asked Little Griseo whether she had something in mind.
• Mobius trusted Little Griseo's understanding of higher dimensions, though she still wondered whether such a path was truly feasible.

Little Griseo told Mobius she might someday help her and the others become higher-dimensional beings, though she would make Mobius her first guinea pig. Mobius considered what Little Griseo’s ascension and the Biying Bird’s emergence revealed, but the chapter left open whether ascension through one’s own abilities was possible.

• Little Griseo denied knowing how to ascend, then said she might be able to help Kiana, Yae, Mobius, and the others become more powerful in the future.
• Little Griseo promised Mobius would be the first person she helped if an opportunity arose, and joked that Mobius would be her guinea pig.
• Mobius accepted the possibility and continued teasing Little Griseo as she cuddled up and acted spoiled.
• Mobius considered how the World Wills and the Cocoons had been higher-dimensional beings from birth, making them poor examples for understanding ascension.
• Mobius reflected that Little Griseo’s ascension had been granted by an exalted being, while the Biying Bird’s emergence had likely involved the Imaginary Tree, and wondered whether ascension through one’s own abilities was possible.

Little Griseo agreed to let Mobius observe the planned creation of a true Biying Bird, while recognizing that Deified Kiana and Deified Mei would need to be completely honest with each other. She asked for their thoughts, and their expressions turned strange.

• Mobius decided to observe Little Griseo's attempt to create a true Biying Bird, hoping to learn from a low-dimensional being's ascent.
• Little Griseo agreed to let Mobius watch.
• Little Griseo considered how the observers might distract Deified Kiana and Deified Mei, and decided to ask their permission.
• Deified Kiana and Deified Mei reacted with visibly strange expressions when Little Griseo raised the matter.

Little Griseo considered how Deified Kiana and Deified Mei might become Biying Birds, deciding that they first needed to unite their feelings and origins. She planned to use pigments representing humanity’s wishes to recreate the conditions that could help them, but the chapter left their transformation uncertain.

• Little Griseo wondered what completing the Biying Bird ceremony meant and imagined others watching Deified Kiana and Deified Mei in the bridal chamber.
• She reasoned that becoming Biying Birds required Deified Kiana and Deified Mei to join their truest cores, origins, and feelings.
• Little Griseo explained that she could recreate the original story’s harsh conditions by turning stored pigments into the wishes and prayers of ordinary people.
• She concluded that even enormous amounts of faith and pigments would be useless unless Deified Kiana and Deified Mei first achieved mutual understanding.

Little Griseo explained that Deified Kiana and Deified Mei needed to recreate the emotional and external conditions behind the Biying Bird’s birth, though the result might differ from the original. She urged them to keep adjusting their compatibility and reassured them that the World Will could last tens of thousands of years.

• Little Griseo said Deified Kiana and Deified Mei had a rare chance to follow the known process behind a higher-dimensional being’s birth.
• Little Griseo explained that the Biying Bird required pure yearning and the devotion Kiana and Yae had maintained across countless reincarnations.
• Little Griseo noted that she could not make Deified Kiana and Deified Mei fuse as Kiana and Yae had, but said a different result would still be acceptable.
• Little Griseo said she had gathered paints and colors to use while helping Deified Kiana and Deified Mei adjust their compatibility.
• Little Griseo told them there was no need to rush because their world’s World Will could probably last another several tens of thousands of years.

Little Griseo left Kiana and Mei to adjust to their growing embarrassment while she attended to Ark affairs. Miss Ark summoned her to the command module to show her progress on a matter Little Griseo had apparently asked her to consider, with Verne also present.

• Little Griseo teased Deified Kiana and Deified Mei about making someone wait longer, leaving them embarrassed by how in sync they had become.
