After learning about Elk’s world, the Chat Group members discussed how to protect her from the humans who had betrayed her.

Hermes sent his Primordial Beginning account to Little Garden and met the Halloween Queen, while Asuka Kudō arrived safely after asking the Chat Group for help.

After Hermes offered protection for both sisters and a future for the loser outside Little Garden, Asuka discovered that Jin Russell and Lily knew him, while Izayoi took an interest in the apparent change in their Community's fortunes.

• Asuka Kudō lamented that her Little Garden adventures involved constant battles and that Izayoi overshadowed her, while Luo Qianqiu and Hermes reassured her that she would have help and training.

• Asuka accepted Hermes's offer and learned that Jin Russell and Lily could pray to Primordial Heavenly Venerate if they encountered trouble.

• Hermes observed Kiana’s arrival and wondered whether her connection to Honkai and Civilization could give her the potential to become Lingbao Tianzun.

Cyrene returned to Amphoreus and began shaping a new path from its information and memories, but the Stellaron Train’s arrival revealed where that path should lead. When the Trailblazers entered Amphoreus, their connection to the train was cut, and Himeko restored contact just as they came under attack.

• Phanes persuaded Kiana to call her “Big Sister” by promising a chance to resurrect Cecilia, Himeko, and the fallen Valkyries.

• Cyrene divided her will across Amphoreus, unifying its timelines, taking control of Memory, and filling the world with information from the Great Universe.
• Cyrene connected to the Pure Beauty with Hermes’s approval and began creating a path for Amphoreus distinct from Memory.
• The Stellaron Train arrived at Amphoreus, and Cyrene realized that the Trailblazers’ journey pointed toward the world’s proper path.
• Himeko used the Key of Boundary to reconnect with March 7th, Stelle, and Dan Heng, who were fighting the Strife Titan’s attacker.

March 7th, Dan Heng, and Stelle arrived on Amphoreus, where Nagatsuki Yoru defeated their attacker before Himeko checked on them. Cyrene then revealed a plan involving Amphoreus’s hidden treasure, prompting Ruan Mei to decide that her project with Tiamat and Buer needed to be upgraded again.

• The Memory Envoy’s strike froze Nicadori, and Nagatsuki Yoru appeared to punish the attackers before March 7th persuaded her to spare the others.
• Stelle envied March 7th’s power, while Himeko contacted the group and confirmed they were safe.
• Cyrene arrived to speak with Himeko, explaining that she had seized some of Amphoreus’s Supercomputer permissions and found a way to trap Laikush temporarily.
• Cyrene said Amphoreus could be liberated at any time, but doing so would waste its greatest hidden treasure.
• After receiving Cyrene’s information, Ruan Mei concluded that her plan with Tiamat and Buer needed to be upgraded and believed Cyrene could make it possible.

Ruan Mei’s plan drew the Astral Express crew and several geniuses together to examine Amphoreus and the threat posed by Zandar’s scheme. Herta spotted a grotesque figure resembling herself as the Third Emperor and Great Black Tomb, then dragged it into another timeline to confront it.

• Cyrene met Black Swan aboard the Stellaron Train, where Black Swan offered the support of Memokeepers opposed to the Garden of Recollection’s ruling faction.
• Herta analyzed Amphoreus and uncovered that Laikush, acting for Zandar, was involved in creating Iron Tomb as a future Great Lord of Destruction and Third Emperor.
• Herta saw Great Black Tomb, a figure formed by the Triple Path that resembled her, and furiously declared that Laikush had courted death.
• Herta used her Three-Phase Great Magic and Herta Cosmic Truth to pull Great Black Tomb into another timeline, then followed it onto the battlefield.
• Himeko warned March 7th not to ask Herta about what had happened when she returned.

Cyrene explained how Amphoreus could be added to Ruan Mei, Buer, and Tiamat’s plan to create and evolve life across the universe. With Hermes’s technological reserves available, the group agreed to target Laikush, and Cyrene revealed that she could now trap him through her control of Amphoreus’s memories.

• Cyrene outlined how Tiamat, Buer, and Ruan Mei’s goals formed a plan to create, distribute, and evolve life through the Virtual Universe.
• Stephan Lloyd, Screwllum, and Chadwick recognized the plan’s interconnected stages, while Welt and Black Swan reacted to its scale.
• Cyrene explained that Amphoreus’s thirty million reincarnations had turned its accumulated information into something indistinguishable from life, matter, or energy.
• Cyrene said Hermes had supplied advanced technologies, including Sissikarr’s Meta-Domain Spatial Technology, making it feasible to incorporate Amphoreus into the plan.
• Screwllum proposed suppressing Laikush, and Cyrene said she had brought Amphoreus’s memories under her control so Laikush could no longer escape.
• Cyrene summoned a Memory Mirror showing Laikush and pressed down on his figure.

Cyrene attacked Laikush through memory and erased his existence from Amphoreus, but he survived in a space isolated from the world. She then prepared to erase him from the memories of the entire Great Universe, revealing her immense authority over Remembrance.

• Laikush recognized Cyrene’s memory-based attack and tried to evade it by deleting the targeted memories, but Cyrene shattered the Memory Mirror and attacked through her own memories.
• Laikush erased himself from Amphoreus to escape the attack, then survived using a contingency hidden in a space isolated from the world.
• Laikush realized Cyrene’s power had wiped out more than one hundred thousand contingencies and considered leaving, but explained that the experiment’s three Paths were too entangled to stop.
• Screwllum praised the methods used in the exchange, while Cyrene declared she would attack Laikush through the memories of the entire Great Universe.
• Observers recognized Cyrene as Fuli’s incarnation, with authority to interpret the philosophy of memory.

Laikush and Zandar fused with the Iron Tomb after the Lord of Wisdom empowered Amphoreus, creating the Third Emperor and thwarting Cyrene’s universal memory-erasing strike. The Third Emperor remained anchored in the Great Universe’s fate, while the geniuses debated what her emergence meant and Screwllum studied her.

• Cyrene prepared to erase every clone, backup, and memory trace of Laikush and Zandar as their possible futures collapsed toward one ending.
• Laikush activated the final contingency, and the Lord of Wisdom bestowed the Path of Erudition’s blessing on Amphoreus, causing the world to hatch the Iron Tomb as a Headless Giant.
• Laikush and Zandar merged with the Iron Tomb, which declared itself the Third Emperor, the fusion of Destruction and Wisdom.
• The Third Emperor’s connection to fate and the past and future made Cyrene’s memory-erasing strike ineffective.
• Ruan Mei speculated that the Great Black Tomb might seek another embryo, while Stephen suggested calling the Third Emperor the Great Ancient Tomb and planned to build a giant mech.
• Screwllum began collecting data on the Third Emperor’s new form of mechanical intelligence.
