Mo Hei searched Sonoro’s shifting Dark Side while Siglica became trapped in an illusion that preyed on her doubts about her family and classmates. Mo Hei opened a mysterious door and found Mo Bai in the Academy’s Garden.

• Mo Hei ran through Sonoro, uneasy at the dormant Cursed Spirits and puzzled that the realm’s defining trait had not affected him.
• Siglica fought her way through a changing maze of stronger Cursed Spirits and entered a classroom-like room where an illusion of her mother and former classmates confronted her.
• Pink bubbles made Siglica’s classmates disappear, and her pink-to-blue-haired friend appeared, leaving Siglica unsure whether she was real.
• Mo Hei gave up searching for the White Rabbit and opened an unusual manual door at the end of a path.
• Mo Hei found Mo Bai sitting on a bench beside the Academy’s Garden.

• The impostor blocked Mo Hei’s next strike with a Swift Blade and admitted he was using Mo Bai’s face because Charon’s consciousness had been separated.
• Mo Hei seized the Swift Blade and explained that the impostor’s Cursed Energy and manner of speaking had exposed him.

Mo Hei fought the President of the Remnant Star Society alone in Sonoro, using Swift Blade and his shadow to counter the President’s weapons. The President recognized that Mo Hei’s abilities were still unawakened and urged him to reveal his potential, while Mo Hei formed a Scorpio sign with his hands.

• The President realized Mo Hei had not fully awakened his abilities and eagerly challenged him to prove his potential.
• Mo Hei clapped his hands into the shape of a strange animal and invoked “Scorpio.”

Mo Hei awakened his Ten Shadows Technique while confronting the President of the Remnant Star Society, but his first Shikigami attacks failed to impress. As the President moved to capture him, Sonoro began trembling despite being under the President’s control.

• Mo Hei returned Nue to Mo Bai and insisted he would face the Academy's Dark Side using his own strength, and Mo Bai chose to trust him.
• Mo Hei’s anger at the President awakened the ten gates of his Cursed Technique and allowed him to summon Scorpio.
• The President shot at Mo Hei, but Scorpio blocked the bullet before Mo Hei crushed it and summoned Leo, a lion Shikigami with a scorpion tail.

• Sonoro trembled despite being under the President’s control, causing the President to stop and turn serious.

Mo Bai broke into the President’s space and freed Mo Hei, but the President escaped after warning that Threnodian from beyond Solaris would soon arrive. Mo Bai turned to help Mo Hei, whose memories were in turmoil, and tried to use Ten Shadows to enter Aries’s shadow.

• The President attacked Mo Hei, who summoned Aries with inherited abilities from Scorpio and Leo, but the President overwhelmed them both.

• Mo Bai appeared behind the President, disrupted his space, and freed Mo Hei.
• The President turned into Script Pages and vanished after warning Mo Bai about Threnodian from beyond Solaris.
• Mo Bai realized positive energy could harm Mo Hei and switched to Ten Shadows to try entering Aries’s shadow.

Mo Bai entered Mo Hei’s shadow and discovered that her Shikigami and memories were tied to a series of doors. He found her unconscious behind the Capricorn door, learned that her conflicting memories had overwhelmed her, and left her in the care of her gentle Shikigami.

• Mo Bai explored Mo Hei’s shadow and found ten glowing doors and two dark ones, suggesting she had once possessed twelve Shikigami.
• Mo Bai examined the constellations on the doors and found Mo Hei behind the Capricorn door.
• Mo Bai met the Capricorn Shikigami sheltering Mo Hei and saw that it calmly let him approach her.
• Mo Bai touched Mo Hei’s cheek and saw that summoning Shikigami had brought back memories from before she lost her memory, leaving her confused.
• Mo Bai learned Mo Hei needed time to recover and asked the Capricorn Shikigami to protect her mind before leaving.

Mo Bai rescued Mo Hei from Sonoro, helped resolve the Cursed Spirit crisis, and learned that several of his friends were missing from the Academy. At Mo Hei’s bedside, he met Siglica and realized her friendships had fallen apart.

• Mo Bai carried the sleeping Mo Hei out of Sonoro and used Limitless to open a passage back to the Academy.
• Mo Bai informed Losera and Lu Hess about Mo Hei, while the White Rabbit guided the other students to safety.
• The Academy confined Dania to her dorm for colluding with the Remnant Star Society and barred Mo Bai and Mo Hei from Sonoro; Mo Bai later cleared the remaining Cursed Spirits.
• Mo Bai noticed that Rover, Aemeath, and Feixue were absent from the Academy and decided to ask Losera about their whereabouts.
• Mo Bai found Siglica at Mo Hei’s bedside and recognized that her friends were unavailable or had never truly considered her a friend.

Mo Bai listened as Siglica worried about her friendship with Mo Hei, then visited the unconscious Mo Hei and shared his fears with her. After leaving the Infirmary, he secretly entered Dania's locked dorm room despite the Academy's ban on visitors.

• Siglica asked Mo Bai what Mo Hei thought of her, and Mo Bai reassured her that Mo Hei was grateful for her support.
• Siglica left the Medical Room, and Mo Bai held Mo Hei's hand and told her he wanted her to wake up but feared how her restored memories might change her.
• Mo Bai left the Infirmary after saying he would return soon, and Mo Hei's hand twitched after he was gone.
• Mo Bai used the shadows to enter Dania's locked dorm room, and Dania complained that he had broken the Academy's no-visitors rule.

Mo Bai confronted Dania with evidence of her movements in the Academy's Dark Side and told her Principal Losera believed Dania's feelings for Siglica and the Academy were genuine. He left Dania with a warning and his continued distrust, while she weighed her mission against her friendships.

• Mo Bai showed Dania recordings of her time in the Academy's Dark Side and returned the white ribbon Principal Losera had found there.
• Dania realized Losera had used her Resonance Ability to review memories tied to the ribbon and asked what conclusions Mo Bai had reached.
• Mo Bai said Losera trusted Dania's feelings for Siglica and the Academy, but he remained undecided about her.
• Mo Bai briefly made Dania think he was attacking her, then warned her that he still regarded her as a Remnant Star Society spy.
• Mo Bai sensed that Dania's frequency matched the Void Matter claws that had attacked him, Aemeath, and Rover near the Void Matter Lake.
• Mo Bai left through his shadow, and Dania sat alone considering her organization, mission, friendships, Losera's trust, and Mo Bai's threat.

Mo Bai learned that Void Matter in Lahai Luo's Dark Plains had changed and begun adapting to the Academy's methods, prompting Losera to send Rover, Feixue, and Aemeath to clear it. After hearing about the Tunneler Gate and the danger in the restricted zone, Mo Bai asked Losera for permission to go there himself.

• Mo Bai told Losera that Dania was unlikely to follow the Remnant Star Society's orders soon, then asked what exceptional circumstances were unfolding.
• Losera showed Mo Bai the Dark Plains, a restricted underground zone formed by the Tunneler's clash with Threnodian Aleph-1, and explained that it contained a Tunneler Gate beyond Solaris's Sky Sea.
• Losera explained that Aleph-1 had followed the Tunneler through the gate to Solaris, and Mo Bai likened the Tunneler's arrival to attracting a stalker.
• Losera showed footage of Rover, Feixue, and Aemeath clearing Void Matter, then revealed that it had begun counterattacking and adapting to the Academy's methods.
• Mo Bai understood why Losera had entrusted the work to the three powerhouses and requested permission to enter the Dark Plains himself.

Mo Bai arrived alone at the Dark Plains and learned from Losera that the Academy was arguing over whether to activate the Tunneler while pressuring its students to prepare it. He tested the Void Matter and discovered that it attacked Round Deer and grew stronger after contacting its positive energy.

• Mo Bai found the Dark Plains research station deserted, with documents scattered across the ground.
• Losera warned Mo Bai to stay away from the enormous tree root at the center, where the Tunneler Gate was located, and explained the Academy's dispute over activating the Tunneler.
• Mo Bai summoned Round Deer to test whether its positive energy could destroy the Void Matter.
• The Void Matter lunged at Round Deer, forcing Mo Bai to withdraw it into the shadows, and began swelling after contact with its energy.
• Mo Bai realized the Void Matter was evolving despite its usual tendency only to devour.

Mo Bai discovered that Cursed Energy and Nue’s lightning could clear the changed Void Matter, revealing a golden frequency that entered his mind and described being swallowed by darkness. He reunited with Rover, Feixue, and Aemeath, who had collected other frequencies, but Aemeath did not recognize him.

• Mo Bai used Cursed Energy and Nue’s lightning to destroy Void Matter, exposing a golden frequency that flowed into his mind and said it was dark and its existence might have been swallowed.
• Mo Bai cleared the Void Matter on the floating island with Nue, found no more frequencies, and flew off to find Rover and the others.
• Rover and Feixue finished clearing Void Matter while Aemeath collected the revealed frequencies in her mech, but none resonated with them.
• Aemeath aimed her mech’s cannon at Mo Bai as he approached on Nue, but Rover stopped her after recognizing his frequency.
• Aemeath asked Mo Bai whether he was a friend of Rover and Feixue, and he wryly said that hearing that always stung.

Mo Bai joined Rover, Aemeath, and Feixue in the Dark Plains and explained that frequencies from people devoured by Aleph-1 resonated with him. Suspecting the frequencies might be bait, he chose to resonate with the collected frequencies anyway and sank into the memories they carried.

• Rover introduced Mo Bai to Aemeath as a companion sent by Principal Losera to help with the Dark Plains crisis.
• Mo Bai told Feixue, Rover, and Aemeath that frequencies from people Aleph-1 had devoured had gravitated toward him and revealed that one belonged to someone from Lahai Luo.
• The group considered whether Aleph-1 was using the frequencies as bait and whether the Remnant Star Society might be involved, but they found no evidence.
• Mo Bai decided to resonate with the collected frequencies, and Rover, Feixue, and Aemeath agreed to guard him.
• Aemeath released the stored frequencies, which merged with Mo Bai and drew his consciousness into their dream.

Mo Bai witnessed the memories of people swallowed by Aleph-1, where a student from Star Torch Academy inspired them to sacrifice their frequencies to send information about the void to humanity. As the figures dissolved into star-like frequencies, Mo Bai heard a familiar dial turning behind him.

• Mo Bai entered a memory inside Aleph-1 and found golden human figures who described being trapped in the Voidmatter Magnetic Storm.
• The figures sank into despair until one person urged them to send everything they had learned inside Aleph-1 to the outside world.
• The speaker, a student at Star Torch Academy, began separating their frequencies to preserve information for human civilization.
• Inspired by the student, the other figures also dissolved into frequencies that recorded what they had seen.
• Mo Bai recognized the frequencies as the source of those in the Dark Origin Void Matter and wondered who had brought them to Solaris.
• Mo Bai heard a familiar dial turning behind him and sprang to his feet.

Mo Bai watched a memory of Mahoraga controlling Void Matter and sending frequencies toward Solaris, while a strange new Wheel absorbed the frequencies he had held back. Mahoraga spoke to Mo Bai through the memory, promising they would meet soon.

• Mo Bai recognized Mahoraga in the memory and noticed a tangible purple-black Wheel above his head.
• Mahoraga gathered nearby frequencies and punched them into the Void Matter, which carried them away toward Solaris.
• Mahoraga appeared in front of Mo Bai and revealed that he had kept some frequencies in his fist.
• The Wheel devoured the remaining frequencies, and Mahoraga spoke, calling Mo Bai his master and saying they would meet soon.

After learning from the frequencies that Mahoraga wanted him to return to Void Matter Space, Mo Bai brought Rover, Feixue, and Aemeath back to Star Torch Academy. Losera preserved the frequencies’ memories, and Rover, Feixue, and Aemeath showed Mo Bai they trusted him despite his agreement with Mahoraga.

• Mo Bai woke from his resonance with the frequencies, bickered with Aemeath, and asked her to call Rover and Feixue over so they could leave the Dark Plains.
• Mo Bai explained that Mahoraga seemed to want him to return willingly to Void Matter Space, and the group departed for Star Torch Academy with the recorded memories on his Tacet Disc.
• At the Academy, Mo Bai played the Tacet Disc’s memories for Losera and the others, including Mahoraga speaking to him.
• Losera asked Mo Bai to preserve the frequencies’ final memories at the Academy, and he agreed.
• When Mo Bai wondered why no one suspected him over his agreement with Mahoraga, Losera joked with him and Rover affirmed that everyone trusted him.

With Mutated Void Matter spreading and Aleph-1 growing more dangerous, Losera assigned the group preparations for an all-out assault. Mo Bai and Feixue set out for Dark Plains, while Mo Bai chose not to visit the recovering Mo Hei before the mission.

• Losera explained that the group had to cross the Tunneler Gate and destroy or drive out Aleph-1 before Mutated Void Matter spread beyond Dark Plains.
• Feixue said she needed to retrieve her blade from Dark Plains, and Losera assigned Mo Bai to accompany her.
• Rover and Aemeath took responsibility for activating the Tunneler, while Losera planned to seek approval and check on the Furnace Core reinforcement project.
• Losera offered Mo Bai a chance to see Mo Hei before leaving, but Mo Bai declined, saying he wanted to welcome him back when he was at his best.

Mo Bai accompanied Feixue to the Sonoro of Honami, where she planned to mourn the people she had once protected. Feixue admitted she envied Rover and Mo Bai, but Mo Bai explained that neither of them had been able to protect everything they cared about.

• Mo Bai followed Feixue toward the Sonoro of Honami instead of heading straight to the Dark Plains.
• Feixue told Mo Bai about her former role as the Blazing Cherry Miko of Ashihara and said she still envied Rover.
• At the entrance to Honami, Mo Bai realized Feixue wanted to mourn the people lost there.
• Feixue said she envied Mo Bai for refusing to visit Mo Hei, but Mo Bai explained that fear—not duty—had made him refuse.
• Mo Bai reminded Feixue that Rover had also failed to protect people and keep promises, and said no one could know whether another person would have done better in her place.

Mo Bai and Feixue entered Honami City separately, where they encountered lingering obsessions tied to Feixue’s past as the Blazing Cherry Miko. Feixue continued onward seeking answers, while Mo Bai learned about a former Miko and arrived at a café.

• Mo Bai told Feixue to explore Honami City alone as a test of her heart, then entered the city after her.
• Mo Bai met a child who insisted that a swing belonged to a black-haired Miko, and he gave the child the swing in exchange for information.
• Feixue encountered a dead office worker who thanked her for saving him once, then vanished after explaining that he had never expected her to protect everyone.
• Feixue continued through Honami City, hoping to find the person who could answer her questions.
• Mo Bai followed the route he remembered to a café and remarked that its sign was still there.

Mo Bai sought information about the Black Shores from Bu Ling while Napomo visited Dania and reminded her that Mo Bai’s protection kept her safe. In Honami, Feixue faced the lingering obsession of the person who had changed her life.

• Mo Bai asked Bu Ling about Rover’s position in the Black Shores, leaving Bu Ling at a loss for an answer.
• Napomo entered Dania’s restricted dorm room and teased her about the past, then said Mo Bai’s attention kept her from harming Dania.
• Feixue walked through Honami as its lingering obsessions praised and blamed her, but she continued toward the person she needed to see.
• Feixue reached the square and found her own lingering obsession, who remarked that little Feixue had finally grown up.

Feixue reunited with her deceased older sister, Yulu, and fought her to resolve the regret keeping her spirit in Honami. After Feixue promised that there would never be another Blazing Cherry Miko, Yulu accepted that she had grown up and faded away.

• Yulu teased Feixue for leaving her in Honami and worried that her little sister had no friends.
• Mo Bai learned about Feixue and the Blazing Cherry Miko's power from Bu Ling, then shared information about Star Torch Academy with her.
• Feixue defeated Yulu in Honami's square to resolve her sister's lingering attachment.
• Feixue promised Yulu that there would never be another Blazing Cherry Miko.
• Yulu trusted Feixue to continue without her and faded away.

Mo Bai and Feixue traveled to the Dark Plains to retrieve Feixue's sealed power, while Mo Bai learned that the President had appeared in Dania's room. When Feixue began to unleash the void matter and use her life-burning future-seeking ability, Mo Bai summoned Etu beside her.

• Feixue returned to Star Torch Academy with Mo Bai after settling matters in Honami, and Mo Bai's Divine Dog revealed that the President had appeared in Dania's room.
• Mo Bai reassured Feixue that the President could not take over the Academy while they were away, and they set off for the Dark Plains.
• Feixue cleared the void matter along their route as Mo Bai wondered whether Mahoraga had affected it.
• Feixue reached the platform where she had sealed the void matter and explained that it was a back door Aleph-1 wanted to open onto Solaris.
• Feixue drew out her sealed power as the void matter surged around her and prepared to use her future-seeking body ability.
• Mo Bai summoned Etu beside Feixue just before she used her ability.

Mo Bai cleared the void matter with Etu and asked Feixue to lend him the Wish-Bearing Bell, despite its power burning through future possibilities. Feixue agreed after Mo Bai urged her to trust him, and he promised to return the bell and stay safe.

• Etu emerged, moved Feixue to Mo Bai's side, and cleared the void matter.
• Mo Bai asked Feixue to lend him the Wish-Bearing Bell so he could use the Future-Seeking Body's power.
• Feixue refused at first, warning that the power consumed the user's future possibilities and fearing Mo Bai might become dependent on it.
• Mo Bai reminded Feixue that she had been trying to handle everything alone and asked her to trust him as she had before.
• Feixue gave Mo Bai the Wish-Bearing Bell, and he promised to return it and reassured her that he did not want to die or disappear.

Mo Bai reunited with Rover and Aemeath in the Tunneler and traveled through Void Matter Space toward the universe, leaving Feixue to protect the Dark Plains and Academy. They emerged beyond Solaris and found Aleph-1 waiting in a black mech, while Mahoraga remained missing.

• Mo Bai contacted Losera, who said Rover and Aemeath were preparing to pilot the Tunneler with its new Furnace Core.
• Mo Bai asked Feixue to contain the Void Matter and protect the Dark Plains and Academy while he entered the Tunneler Gate.
• Rover and Aemeath brought the Tunneler through the gate from Icefield, and Mo Bai joined them by passing through the shadows.
• Mo Bai traveled with Rover and Aemeath through Void Matter Space, preparing his Wheel of Adaptation for survival in space.
• The trio emerged beyond Solaris into the universe, where Mo Bai adapted to space and found Aleph-1 in a black mech, but Mahoraga was nowhere to be seen.

Rover, Aemeath, and Mo Bai confronted Aleph-1 and learned that its words were mimicry rather than evidence of compassion. As Rover and Aemeath fought its black mech, Aleph-1 targeted Mo Bai and pulled him toward its true body, a black hole-like mass.

• Aemeath questioned Aleph-1 about devouring civilizations, but Aleph-1 explained that it acted on instinct and regarded Solaris as food.
• Rover dismissed further conversation and advanced the Tunneler against Aleph-1's black mech.
• Mo Bai identified a distant black hole-like mass as Aleph-1's true body and prepared to support the fight with [Hollow Technique: Purple].
• Aleph-1 recognized Mo Bai as the opponent the gray thing had mentioned and began pulling him toward its body.
• Mo Bai stopped resisting when Aleph-1 spoke of a promise, then gestured to Rover not to worry as he was drawn away.
