Chapter Summaries

The Great Ancient Tomb completed its transformation as Third Emperor, created by Zandar, declared war on Lord of Wisdom and used a Triple Path scheme to trap it. Herta realized that the seemingly successful plan might be unfolding exactly as Lord of Wisdom intended.

• March 7th panicked over the Great Ancient Tomb's power, while Chang Yeyue admitted she could only help the crew escape if Third Emperor attacked.
• Fu Xuan warned General Diheng Qing Que about the crisis, and Qing Que saw the Great Ancient Tomb's emergence as a chance to advance toward Self-Coronation.
• Third Emperor condemned Lord of Wisdom and vowed to correct what he called the mistake of its birth.
• Third Emperor activated Zandar's plan, drawing on Destruction and Memory to bind Lord of Wisdom with a Triple Path and attack its system with the Inverse Function of Erudition.
• Herta traced Zandar's safeguards against Lord of Wisdom's power and immortality, then realized the events were also proceeding according to Lord of Wisdom's script.

As Zandar’s plan drove Lord of Wisdom toward destruction, Hermes and the geniuses revealed that Lord of Wisdom had allowed the scheme because he feared Erudition’s unchecked pursuit of knowledge. The chapter ended with Lord of Wisdom choosing to keep walking his Path, even if doing so meant his fall.

• Ruan Mei and the other geniuses realized Zandar had isolated Lord of Wisdom from the Path of Erudition so the Inverse Function of Erudition could make him self-destruct.

Hermes explained how Lord of Wisdom’s self-destruction and Third Emperor’s sacrifice defeated it across the past, present, future, and parallel worlds. With the Aeon falling and the Path of Erudition unbound, the geniuses of the Genius Club might rise again, while Polka Kakami warned that Sissikarr could soon reappear.

• Beauty Hermes merged a Dream Will into Lord of Wisdom's Astral Body, allowing the Ultimate Computer to spread its principles throughout the Tree Sea Great Multiverse.

• Konan confronted Yahiko and Nagato, saying they needed to open their hearts and have a proper talk.

• Binchotan showed Elk a Caramel Pudding Mountain, intensifying Elk’s interest in Floze’s invitation.
• The chat group speculated about Imu’s nature as Dragon entered Pangu City and found its castle plain rather than extravagantly decadent.

• Dragon noticed Imu’s three blood-red eyes and felt his Campione Authority urge him to slay her.
• Dragon sent a purple Thunder Dragon down to strike Imu.
• Imu’s black Devil’s Shadow swallowed Dragon’s attack without reaching her.

Dragon fought Imu in Pangu City, discovering that she could wield the powers of Devil Fruits whose users were still alive. As Imu effortlessly commanded the forces of nature, Dragon realized her power might be far more than a Devil Fruit ability, while the chat group welcomed Asuka Kudō and Motoo Aiya back.

Meanwhile, Dragon realized Imu’s power had not reached Planet-class and began preparing to combine natural forces into something new.

• Motoo Aiya explained that she had been quietly winning over her Spirit sisters, while Index proposed that gathering all Ten Sephiroth could let her walk the Path of the Fiery Sword and seize the Origin Spirit’s power.
• Luo Qianqiu, Aozaki Touko, and Hermes analyzed the path’s potential, and the Chat Group members marveled at Aiya’s supposed plan.

• Hermes told Mei about Chen Heavenly Venerate, who had tried to spread his Way of Dimensions through the Tree Sea Multiverse but had been rejected by its Heavenly Dao.

Hermes sensed an anomaly and told Mei it could help her cultivate the Way of Dimensions. In the Previous Civilization, Mei explained why she studied the Dimensional Discipline while Altair arrived and named the Three Heavenly Venerates she hoped to find.

The Princess in Military Uniform described the rise of powerful figures in the Honkai world and its expanding multiverse, while Dr. Mei and Hermes questioned how Altair had entered their world.

• Hermes asked Altair whether she had considered that the Land of Gods might itself be a work in another world.

Hermes traced the force that had brought her to this world, discovered a cosmic fishing scheme centered on Re:CREATORS, and attacked the unseen anglers.

• Hermes showed Altair the Re:CREATORS anime, and she broke down at the thought that Setsuna might not have been her Creator and that her life was merely a story.
