Chapter Summaries

Mo Wang survived Fu Hua’s Deliverance strike, then rushed to the laboratory after an emergency alarm and learned that Belle had stolen the Herrscher Cores and escaped with Sakura. At a Flame-Chasing Moth meeting, Elysia explained that the Flame-Chasers had eventually regarded one another as enemies, leaving Mo Wang to reconsider their lack of grief over Dr. MEI.

• During a meeting, Mo Wang questioned why the Flame-Chasers showed little grief over Dr. MEI’s death, and Elysia said they had eventually seen one another as enemies.

Mo Wang and the Flame-Chasing Moth discussed the hidden Erosion Herrscher and decided to wait for her to reveal herself. Their plan was interrupted when Clony led an armed group from ZF to accuse them of harboring a Herrscher, but Mo Wang exposed that one of her fighters was a disguised Herrscher.

• Elysia and Mo Wang concluded that the Erosion Herrscher had likely framed Belle for Dr. MEI's murder and was using Belle's form while holding Hiyori captive.

Their recovered Emblems resonated to bring Elysia back, leaving the Erosion Herrscher facing the rightful owner of the stolen power.

• The Erosion Herrscher revealed that she had fused all twelve Herrscher Cores to imitate Finality and erased Mobius, Kiana, Mei, Bronya, and Aili from the castle.
