Arc 9Sirin’s Return and the Star Cup
Chen Li brought the Herrschers and the three major powers into a new alliance while helping Bronya summon a Seele and taking on Riku Dola’s request to protect humanity. The arc left Riku and Shuvi confronting a fatal flaw in their plan to save their world.
- Sparkle lost Aha’s amusement park tournament after the Joy Dice’s roll fell from 20 to 1, then hid her alarm when Aha asked to face her again.
- Chen Li and Vill-V joined Mobius’s plan to retrieve Void Archive and the God Keys, while Chen Li helped Sirin and the Herrschers confront the looming crisis in Changkong City.
- Sirin suppressed the Honkai outbreak in Changkong City, then attacked Schicksal, took Void Archive and the Greatsword of the Heavenly Fire, and revealed that Durandal was the real Kiana.
- Chen Li brought Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent together as Honkai-Moe Paradise, with Theresa named Schicksal’s Overseer.
- Chen Li restored Bronya’s legs and emotional circuits, then forged Wish Granting, which summoned a Seele from Jarilo-VI and sent her back toward her home world.
- Riku Dola asked Chen Li to find Shuvi, and Chen Li rescued her from Gibril, restored her with a grain of wheat, and made Gibril promise to provide food and Spirit Remains.
- Chen Li proposed using a Collective Consciousness and transforming humanity into the Celestial Race, while Riku considered whether the Ex Machina could be infected with the Machine Spirit Virus.
- Riku and Shuvi realized that the combined energy of the races’ ultimate weapons would destroy their planet even if they deployed the Passage Control devices correctly.
