• Nangong Nayue appeared through the crowd and asked Su Yang if he was selling his looks.

• Su Yang asked Kanon to come to his office, while Akina Nagisa and Aurora joked and worried about his intentions.
• Su Yang asked Kanon whether the cross had glowed, and she said she had not seen it glow and asked if it was a Magical Tool.

Su Yang told Kanon that the Holy Cross had detected someone trying to drug and exploit her for the Simulated Angel Project. Kanon realized her adoptive father was responsible, while Kensei Yease continued to pursue his research.

• Su Yang explained that the Holy Cross reacted to danger and revealed that someone had triggered its detection when Kanon went home.
• Kanon remembered that Kensei Yease had given her milk before she woke the next morning, and Su Yang concluded that he had stopped the project before it began.
• Luo berated Kensei Yease for failing to use Kanon, but Kensei insisted he could continue the Simulated Angel Project with other specimens.
• Kanon asked Su Yang why he had given her the protective cross, and he explained that her powerful Spirit Medium physique made her a target because she could not protect herself.

• Su Yang dropped the subject and asked whether Nayue was cooking that day, while privately considering how he might handle a future escaped prisoner.
• Nangong Nayue said she would cook and insisted that her cooking could improve beyond Su Yang’s earlier rating of “ordinarily tasty.”

Su Yang learned that Scathach had avoided Nangong Nayue’s unfinished cooking and received a Gold plot sign-in challenge involving Sendou Aya. That night, he entered the Prison Barrier and reached the door to the cell of Nangong Nayue’s best friend.

• Scathach told Su Yang she had slipped away after he left rather than taste Nangong Nayue’s cooking.
• Su Yang praised Nangong Nayue’s cooking and received a Gold sign-in challenge to make Sendou Aya concede through his knowledge.
• After Nangong Nayue fell asleep, Su Yang used her power to enter the Prison Barrier.
• Su Yang passed the prisoners’ cells and reached a small wooden door at the barrier’s end.

Su Yang entered Sendou Aya’s luxurious room in the Prison Barrier and began discussing her research into the true nature of reality. Aya revealed that she had not reached her goal but believed she had found the path toward it.

• Su Yang opened the door to Sendou Aya’s spacious room and found her in the study.
• Aya was startled to see Su Yang and learned that he lived with Nangong Nayue and had permission to enter.

• Su Yang said he was interested in Aya’s theories and asked whether a world with or without magic power was the real world.
• Aya declared that she had found the path to reality, though she had not yet reached it.

• Sendou Aya challenged Su Yang over the nature of reality and falsehood.
• Su Yang said Sendou Aya’s theory was partly correct but incomplete, and she asked whether he was mocking her.
• Su Yang showed Sendou Aya his Nameless Spellbook and told her to read it to understand the flaws in her theory.
• Sendou Aya took the book and discovered that it contained vast amounts of unfamiliar knowledge that refreshed as she read.

Su Yang challenged Sendou Aya to refute his theories for a chance to win the Nameless Spellbook, with a contract as the stakes. After discovering Su Yang’s signed contract with Nangong Nayue, Sendou Aya asked to replace Su Yang as the dominant party in Nangong Nayue’s contract.

• Su Yang took back the Nameless Spellbook from Sendou Aya and offered to give it to her if she could refute his theories.
• Su Yang presented Sendou Aya with a golden contract and a signed contract for her to examine.
• Sendou Aya recognized Nangong Nayue’s name on the signed contract and accused Su Yang of being the demon Nangong Nayue had summoned.
• Su Yang explained that he had come to the world on his own and assured Sendou Aya that Nangong Nayue was still alive.
• Sendou Aya accepted Su Yang’s challenge but added a condition: she wanted to replace him as the dominant party in Nangong Nayue’s contract.

Su Yang debated Sendou Aya’s plan to create a world without mystery and argued that using mystery to test that theory could only produce a false answer. Sendou Aya accepted the contract, while Su Yang received another Wheel of Awakening and brought his collection one step closer to completion.

• Sendou Aya defended her theory that the world’s truth could be found by exploring the possibility of a world without magic power.

• Su Yang completed the plot sign-in and received Wheel of Awakening Ⅷ, which he placed beside Wheel of Awakening · One.
• Sendou Aya said she was willing to pay the price of the contract, and Su Yang handed it to her.

Sendou Aya signed a contract with Su Yang to gain power equal to Nangong Nayue, but discovered she could not summon her guardian because his Eighth Incarnation was away. Su Yang promised it would return in a few months, leaving Sendou Aya waiting for the power she had been promised.

• Sendou Aya asked whether the contract made her equal to Natsuki, and Su Yang said he had granted her access to his Eighth Incarnation.

• Su Yang explained that the contract was valid but the Avatar was between universes, occupied with merging them.
• Su Yang promised Sendou Aya would be able to use the Avatar in a few months, and Sendou Aya cautiously held him to his promise.

• Nangong Nayue entered, teased Sendou Aya, and pulled Su Yang away from her.
• Nayue questioned why Su Yang had appeared inside the Prison Barrier, but he dismissed the question and asked what had happened outside.
• Nangong Nayue said something major had happened and hurried with Su Yang to leave the Prison Barrier.

Su Yang and Nangong Nayue found Kagurajima Island sinking after the saint’s arm was stolen from the Gate of Foundation. With Shizukugai revealing that the thief had accomplices, Su Yang prepared to use Nangong Nayue’s power to address the disaster.

• Su Yang and Nangong Nayue arrived above Kagurajima Island and saw that it was sinking after the central foundation was destroyed.
• Shizukugai revealed that the person Su Yang had captured had accomplices and showed him two captured men in Destroyer Teacher uniforms and an artificial life-form.
• Shizukugai said the Lion King Organization could do little against a disaster of this scale because humans lacked the necessary power.
• Nangong Nayue offered to try if Su Yang stayed by her side, but Su Yang said he would handle it by borrowing her power.

Su Yang entered the Prison Barrier to draw on Nangong Nayue’s true body and gain enough demonic power to use his familiars. He left after she fainted, while Shizukugai waited on Kagurajima Island.

• Su Yang absorbed enough demonic power to use his familiars, then returned Nangong Nayue to her seat and left.
• Nangong Nayue briefly stirred after Su Yang departed, while Shizukugai estimated that two or three minutes had passed.

Shizukugai wrongly concluded that Su Yang was a True Ancestor who had vanished with Nangong Nayue to awaken a Familiar Beast. Su Yang returned and summoned the Avatar Varaha to keep Kagurajima Island from sinking.

• Shizukugai recalled Su Yang's actions during the Feast of Flames and decided he must be a True Ancestor seeking a Spirit Medium for himself.
• Su Yang reappeared and told Shizukugai that her way of thinking needed improvement.
• Su Yang summoned the Avatar Varaha, whose power Shizukugai mistook for a True Ancestor-level Familiar Beast.
• Su Yang unleashed demonic power drawn from Natsuki's true body and sent Varaha charging forward to stop the island from sinking.
