Background / History

Before the Reiki Revival, the Lighthouse was recognized as the world's strongest nation. Its past rivalry with Russia drove its rise, but after becoming dominant, it slowed its development for profit and sought to restrain the progress of other nations. Its leadership later regarded this loss of rivalry as a strategic failure. 1064

The Lighthouse entered the Reiki Revival without Huaxia's cultivation systems or inherited mystical artifacts. It therefore pursued the combination of technology and Esper abilities early, researching Mutant Creatures and Espers to develop practical Reiki-era technologies. 1020

Rather than attempting to protect its full territory and population, the Lighthouse abandoned most peripheral land and concentrated its military, technology, powerful Espers, and selected elites in a highly defended protected zone. This policy preserved its core national strength, but left many ordinary citizens outside the protected area to join independent Esper bases or fend for themselves. 1122 1292 1944

The state retained control of its central territory despite the rise of independent Esper factions. These factions governed abandoned regions, while the Lighthouse focused on maintaining a secure elite city and developing biotechnology, Gene Warriors, and advanced military systems. 461 1122

Government and National Policy

• Elite-protection strategy — The Lighthouse concentrates national resources on a small population of Sequence-level Espers, specialists, high-ranking officials, capital holders, and other elites. Its protected city is considered exceptionally secure, though this security comes at the cost of abandoning most of the population. 1122
• Pragmatic foreign policy — The government provides aid only when the expected return is worthwhile. Its intervention in Australia was explicitly tied to resources, population, fuel, and other benefits rather than altruism. 1068
• Territorial abandonment — The government expects eventual conflict with independent Esper bases occupying formerly abandoned territory, should it attempt to reclaim those regions. 1122
• Controlled public narrative — Lighthouse executives manipulated a reporter into spreading pro-Atlantis sentiment, using public opinion as part of their response to Atlantis's emergence. 1415
• Adaptation to National Destiny — After learning from Huaxia about Fortune, National Destiny, and Dharma Artifacts, Lighthouse leaders concluded that isolation could damage the nation's Fortune. They planned to restore nominal ties with the outside world and search for divine artifacts. 1596 1597

Military Strength and Technology

Category	Documented capabilities
Pre-Reiki naval power	More than 500,000 naval personnel; 11 of the world's 21 aircraft carriers; Pacific and Atlantic fleets with roughly 150 large surface combat vessels each; more than 80 attack and strategic submarines. 1121
Pre-Reiki air power	14 air forces, 128 aviation squadrons, over 5,209 active fighter jets, and more than 170 strategic bombers. 1121
Loyal Sequence Espers	At least three First Sequence, nearly thirty Second Sequence, and roughly one hundred Third Sequence Espers directly loyal to the state. 1122
Later recorded deployment	Five First Sequence Espers, tens of thousands of powerful Esper warriors, and Reiki-based technology were deployed in a major battle. 1347
Gene Warriors	Mass-produced biotechnology soldiers created from exceptional human genes and fused with Mutant Creature genes; they possess implanted loyalty, strong combat ability below the Sequence levels, and little fear of death. 1021 1121
Biological research	The Lighthouse developed cloning and gene-fusion methods to create obedient warriors, openly prioritizing military utility over ethical concerns. 1070

Gene Warrior Program

The Lighthouse's Gene Warriors are cultivated from the genes of outstanding soldiers and fused with Mutant Creature genes. Their discipline and lack of fear are described as being ingrained into them, allowing them to operate as reliable military units. 1021

• They are used as renewable military assets rather than treated as ordinary citizens. 1416
• The program represents a major breakthrough in the Lighthouse's biotechnology and assembly-line warrior production. 1121
• Sacred Cherry Blossom: Ming discovered that Lighthouse soldiers were clones; Neptune confirmed the practice without denying its ethical cost. 1070

Notable Figures

• Neptune — Hidden First Sequence Esper and high-ranking Lighthouse official. He commands ocean-related power, led the Australian reinforcement force, and openly disclosed the Lighthouse's Gene Warrior strategy. 1017 1021 1122
• God of Thunder — Publicly recognized as the Lighthouse's strongest Esper, but not an official government member. He founded the independent Guardian Base and possesses the Thunder Tyrannosaurus ability, the Thunder Dragon Fruit, and a Clow Card. 614 1015 1017
• Holy Light — Lighthouse Esper who, alongside Fallen and Druid, confronted Qin Tian and disclosed intelligence regarding the Abyss of Eternal Frost. 1673
• Fallen — Lighthouse Esper also known by codenames including Satan, Demon, and Evil. 706
• Druid — Lighthouse Esper associated with beast-taming abilities; later investigated the dangerous anomalies of Death Valley with Saint Light and Fallen. 706 2023

Major Arcs

Australian Reinforcement

The Lighthouse joined Huaxia, Russia, and the Sun Never Sets Empire in sending aid to Australia during its Mutant Creature crisis. Its warship arrived later than other nations' forces, with Neptune leading the mission. 1030 1064

Neptune's discussions with Sacred Cherry Blossom: Ming made clear that Lighthouse aid was motivated by expected profit. He also confirmed the nation's reliance on cloned, gene-engineered soldiers. 1068 1070

During the campaign, Neptune witnessed the overwhelming amplification provided by Huaxia's Five Elements Armor and concluded that the Lighthouse had fallen significantly behind Huaxia in both First Sequence strength and God-Given Items. 1080

Atlantis Cooperation

After Atlantis revealed itself, Lighthouse executives considered the civilization arrogant but technologically useful. They chose to cooperate, exchanging technology and information while intending to pursue Lighthouse interests first. 1415 1416

Atlantis, meanwhile, planned to use the Lighthouse to learn about humanity and Huaxia while reducing human strength through conflict. Neither side regarded the arrangement as a relationship of genuine trust. 1417

Otherworld Dragon Incident

When the Otherworld dragon Golden Mountain Dragon King Areos appeared in the Lighthouse, Neptune and the God of Thunder set aside their differences to confront it. The enigmatic figure Bleach also joined the battle. 1483

Shift Toward Fortune and Artifacts

Information acquired from Huaxia forced Lighthouse leaders to reassess their technological exceptionalism. They accepted that Fortune, National Destiny, mythology, and Dharma Artifacts could shape power in the new era, despite the Lighthouse lacking a comparable native mythological foundation. 1596 1597

Trivia

• The Lighthouse publicly disclosed the God of Thunder's abilities while concealing Neptune and other First Sequence Espers, suggesting a deliberate intelligence strategy. 1017
• Its leaders consider Huaxia their only meaningful human rival, while viewing most other nations as strategically insignificant. 1064
• The Lighthouse's protected core has suffered virtually no ordinary civilian deaths; losses within its true territory are largely Gene Warrior attrition. 1416
• The Lighthouse possesses a large collection of cultural relics, which its leadership considers a potential source of future divine artifacts despite uncertainty over their origins. 1597
