Chapter Summaries

Mobius secured further Moth to Fire funding for her enhancement research, while the rush to match her results led other institutes to subject test subjects to brutal experiments. Vill-V found a possible trace of Moros in Fuyuan City, but her attempt to reach him at his hotel drew the attention of threatening men in black suits.

• Mobius presented her enhancement procedure to Moth to Fire's councillors, who approved the First Research Institute's next round of funding.
• Other research institutes faced pressure to produce results, and researchers at the Prometheus Research Center forced a purple-haired girl to endure another dose of concentrated Collapse Energy.
• Conductor Vill-V found a report linking Moros to Fuyuan City First Hotel and left a request for assistance on the Vill-Vs' message board.
• The original Vill-V took control of the body and wondered whether Moros still remembered her.
• The Grand Magician arrived at Fuyuan City First Hotel to seek Moros, but after learning its presidential suite was booked, she was approached by men in black suits.

Vill-V traced Moros’s movements in Fuyuan City and discovered that his wraiths were guarding the First Hotel. Moros deployed his undead to find her workshop, and as the Vampire Lords flew toward it, Vill-V realized she had been exposed and reacted with joy.

• Vill-V studied official records of Moros’s actions and concluded that he was the person who had once helped her.
• Vill-V sent infiltration robots into the First Hotel, where wraiths destroyed them, revealing Moros’s presence to her.

• Moros sent thousands of wraiths to search the city and dispatched the Vampire Lords toward Vill-V’s workshop after it was discovered.
• Vill-V tracked the approaching bats and understood that Moros’s forces had found her, but she felt delighted rather than afraid.

Moros reunited with Vill-V and brought her to Graveyard City, abandoning his planned show of force. Meanwhile, Subject 173 became the Second Herrscher and devastated the Prometheus Research Center, prompting Mu Continent’s leaders to mobilize against her as her Honkai Beast Legion advanced.

Benares was shot down by Mu Continent’s Collapse Energy Railgun, prompting the Herrscher of Void to arrive and rout Lieutenant General Spencer’s forces. Spencer then persuaded Minister Harold and Mu Continent’s senior officials to authorize a tactical nuclear strike against Benares, knowing the Herrscher would likely intervene.

• Benares used Charge-class Honkai Beasts to draw fire away from itself, allowing it to dive toward the artillery positions.

As the Herrscher of Void devastated Mu Continent and defeated the coalition forces, Elysia traveled to the front lines after sensing the Eruption. Meanwhile, Mobius learned that a powerful new Moth to Fire warrior was about to deploy, and Fuyuan City's officials asked Moros to fight the Herrscher of Void.
