• Kiana and Dr. Da Wei fought their way through a Theresa-infested city while Da Wei carried the Spacetime Leg Ring to a laboratory.
• Dr. Da Wei activated the portal as the Theresas battered down the laboratory door, then sent Kiana through with the ring and told her to fix the doomed worldline.

Bronya answered Joachim’s trial question correctly and received a Quantum Wormhole Device, but Theresa stopped her from using its random passage to search for Seele. On the screen, Bronya met Joachim in the Sea of Quanta, fought Quantum Shadows, and was pushed toward another world to continue her trial.

• Elysia answered that Apponia had become heaven and earth, fate itself, and part of the Previous Era Elysian Realm, winning a Life Coin.
• The footage showed Apponia recounting how her attempts to change fate, humanity, and human isolation had failed.
• Apponia told Mei that she had chosen to become the world and fate itself to pursue an answer she could not otherwise reach.
• Elysia reflected that Apponia’s choice amounted to imprisoning herself forever, while Fu Hua and the Herrscher of Reason discussed the harm caused by Precepts.

• Raiden Mei received an Elysian Realm Mei Trial Card that let her face the Flame-Chasers with her full fighting strength.
• At Elysia’s urging, Mei drew her katana and called out to Jigokurou.

The group watched Raiden Mei battle Apponia and struggled to answer whether Mei defeated her, as the quiz punished each wrong answer. After Cang Xuan, Danzhu, and Bronya failed, Chakravartin was selected and shouted his answer as time ran out.

• Chakravartin was selected next and shouted “Scram!” with only seconds remaining.

Pardofelis correctly guessed that Raiden Mei won against Apponia without fully winning, and the footage revealed that the battle had been a vision of a possible future. Elysia then correctly identified herself as the person waiting in the deepest part of The Deep, leaving Mei stunned.

• Chakravartin shouted “Dear Apponia” as the system’s punishment, then Pardofelis was selected for the next quiz.

• Mei reacted in disbelief when Elysia confirmed that she was the person hidden in The Deep.

Raiden Mei reached The Deep and discovered that Elysia was the secret waiting behind its final door: the Thirteenth Herrscher. The revelation left St. Freya Academy surprised but relatively unfazed, while Elysia teased Mei instead of explaining her identity.

The conversation shifted to Bronya, whose second World Bubble trial began with a quiz about the priest in charge of its orphanage.

• Elysia explained that she became the Thirteenth Herrscher to unite Fire Moth against a common enemy, and confirmed that Kevin killed her despite knowing the truth.
• Theresa and the others condemned Fire Moth’s infighting, while Elysia said her sacrifice had still achieved its purpose and that Kevin had suffered most.
• The Herrscher of Reason challenged Fu Hua’s past choices and argued that protecting humanity did not justify sacrificing friends; Fu Hua apologized to Danzhu and Cang Xuan.

• A quiz began asking who had served as priest in charge of the orphanage in the second World Bubble Bronya experienced, and Bronya felt confident about passing the trial.

Bronya’s group discussed the priest in her next World Bubble and wrongly chose Welt, leaving Theresa without Judah for half a month. The screen showed Otto acting as a trusted priest at an orphanage, then followed Bronya and Seele as Theresa tried to cheer the grieving children with lunch; the others teased Bronya about her height.

• Theresa teased Bronya about her height, and Kiana joined in, prompting Theresa to shout at her.

The chat group watched a World Bubble scene of Father Otto caring for the orphanage children, prompting Elysia to suggest awakening Bishop Otto’s kindness. Durandal joined the group, and the others struggled to convince her that Otto had hidden plans before she admitted her suspicion of Herrschers had been one-sided.

• Theresa and Joachim spoke about Karel’s death and Joachim’s decision to leave the orphanage as Father Otto prepared to buy groceries and bitter melon cakes.
• Elysia urged the group to seek a way to awaken Bishop Otto’s kind side, while Fu Hua recalled sparing Otto and Kallen during Schicksal’s eastern expedition.

• Durandal questioned the group’s evidence, while Fu Hua described Otto’s plan to monitor Kiana and awaken the Herrscher of the Void.
• Durandal pointed out that a Herrscher of Reason was among the group, then conceded that her suspicion was one-sided after the others noted Herrschers could fight Honkai.

Durandal guessed that Otto had traded Schicksal and his disappearance for all of World Serpent’s resources, but the quiz revealed he wanted the Thousand Worlds Beacon. The group learned the beacon could activate the Divine Key Thousand Worlds, while the chapter ended with Otto and Kevin negotiating over the Stigmata Project and Fu Hua explaining that Kevin’s return had transformed World Serpent’s strength.

• Durandal chose all of World Serpent’s resources as Otto’s requested price, but the system revealed the correct answer was the Thousand Worlds Beacon.
• Fu Hua explained that the beacon could activate Thousand Worlds’ Zero Nominal Power and reach the Imaginary Tree.
• Durandal received a five-day weakness debuff that reduced her combat power by forty percent.
• The scene showed Otto meeting Kevin in the Void Cage, where Kevin demanded Schicksal’s assistance with the Stigmata Project.
• Otto warned Kevin that fighting Schicksal would cost World Serpent precious time, and Kiana questioned whether World Serpent could defeat Schicksal.
• Durandal said World Serpent’s members had seemed weaker than Schicksal, and Fu Hua replied that Kevin’s return had changed the organization.

Otto offered Kevin the Void Archive and control of Schicksal in exchange for the Thousand Worlds' beacon, which he needed to pursue his five-hundred-year-old wish. After the discussion, the group began a quiz about Theresa's first food on the fifth day of her deserted-island adventure.

• Otto told Kevin that the Fifth Herrscher was approaching and asked for the Thousand Worlds' beacon so he could reach the Imaginary Tree and fulfill his wish.
• Kevin asked what Otto would offer in exchange, and Otto returned the Void Archive, saying it could control Schicksal even after he disappeared.
• The group reacted to Otto's deal, while Durandal said she remained loyal to Schicksal and would not reveal anything unnecessary to Otto.
• The group considered how to prevent Otto from getting the beacon, but realized it was in Kevin's hands and that they had little to offer him.
• The system asked what Theresa first found to eat on her fifth day stranded on a deserted island, and Theresa protested when the group teased her about silly questions.

The group watched Theresa’s deserted-island survival footage, where she found abundant food, a refrigerator, and supply crates containing Judah. Himeko gained pyrokinesis after answering the crab question correctly, and the group left her defending herself against suspicions that she could become the Flame Herrscher.

• Himeko chose crabs as the answer to the deserted-island question and was rewarded with pyrokinesis.
• Himeko ignited flames with her new power, while Durandal, Elysia, and others questioned whether she might become the Flame Herrscher.

• Theresa opened a supply crate, found Judah inside, and tearfully welcomed her back.

Theresa and the others watched Fu Hua and the Herrscher of Reason battle over mahjong while Theresa mourned Judah’s temporary ban. Bronya correctly identified the Honkai Beast as Mahjong-class and won a reward of Anti-Entropy mecha knowledge.

• Theresa grieved over Judah, which the system had banned for two weeks, while Durandal explained that she was using her debuff to intensify her training.
• Fu Hua repeatedly beat the Herrscher of Reason at mahjong as Kiana cheered and Theresa complained that the others were ignoring her on the island.
• Theresa realized the island might be a vacation resort rather than a dangerous ruin after Kiana and the Herrscher of Reason pointed out its supplies.
• The system asked what class of Honkai Beast had appeared, and Bronya chose Mahjong-class because the island’s events already seemed absurd.
• Bronya answered correctly and received a guide to Anti-Entropy’s early mecha principles.

The group discussed the value of Bronya’s new Anti-Entropy database and watched a comedy-world scene where Theresa nearly attacked a Mahjong-class Honkai Beast before joining a mahjong game. They then debated Cosmo’s ability to consume Honkai Beasts and Theresa’s limited Vishnu power before a quiz asked how Chakravartin would politely address Mei.

• Bronya received dozens of terabytes of Anti-Entropy research and resolved to study it so she could rescue Seele.
• The screen showed Theresa mistaking a newly formed Mahjong-class Honkai Beast for dinner, then joining Fu Hua and the others at their mahjong table.
• The group learned that Cosmo could devour Honkai Beasts because he had fused with the Judgment-class Vishnu, while Theresa and Schicksal’s records described Vishnu as weaker.
• Theresa blamed her poor showing against the Herrscher of the Void on her sealed power and lack of access to Vishnu’s potential.
• A quiz asked how Chakravartin would change his tactful way of asking questions after Raiden Mei’s advice.

Raiden Mei tried to question Chakravartin about a traitor, but his anger over Sakura’s death derailed their conversation. In the Death Space, Chakravartin explained that he had killed people who slandered and persecuted the Flame-Chasers, and Eden thanked him for bearing that burden.

• Chakravartin won a Concept Card that doubled his combat power for ten minutes and vowed to use it against Apponia.
• Raiden Mei visited Chakravartin, who greeted her with a blunt question about how long she planned to live.
• Mei asked Chakravartin about a traitor, but he angrily objected when she called Sakura one and condemned the people who had killed an innocent girl.
• Mei left Chakravartin alone to calm down after he refused to hear her explanation.
• Chakravartin said he had killed people Elysia could not bring herself to execute, and Eden thanked him for it.

Elysia used her final Life Coin to take charge of the Fire Moth, with Eden supporting her as its hidden financier. After Elysia returned, the group began a quiz about who took Kiana away after Meteoric Salvation.

• Elysia used the Life Coin, and Eden explained that it was her last one while offering Elysia her support.
• Elysia found Eden overwhelmed by Fire Moth paperwork and learned Eden had preserved enough information to understand what had happened.
• Elysia established the Council of Thirteen, placing Kevin first and herself second, while Vill-V revealed her Anti-Kevin Armament had made him leave with a stomachache.
• The Life Coin's use ended, and Elysia returned to Death Space, saying her day had gone smoothly and she had wanted more time with Cosmo.
• The group discussed Kiana's Meteoric Salvation and began guessing who had taken her away before Mei could, with Kevin among the choices.

The group watched Raiden Mei fail to stop Durandal from taking Kiana, leaving Mei devastated by her inability to protect her. Back in the chat, Mei nearly drew the Dreamer’s Heart to gain power, but Kiana and the others stopped her, and Durandal questioned the cost of the weapon’s power.

• Theresa vowed to fight Otto for Kiana, and Durandal correctly guessed that she would be ordered to take Kiana away, earning a gravity-augmenting leg ring as her reward.
• Mei fought through enemy mechs to reach Kiana, but Durandal confronted her and defeated her in a single strike.
• Durandal carried the unconscious Kiana away, and Mei collapsed in tears, regretting that she could do nothing to protect her.
• Mei summoned the Dreamer’s Heart and prepared to draw it despite the cost, but Kiana and Himeko stopped her before she could act.
• Theresa and Bronya reassured Mei, and jokes about her cooking helped her calm down and put the Dreamer’s Heart away.
• Durandal asked whether Mei could become stronger instantly and why she avoided using that power.

Theresa, Kiana, and their allies resolved to rescue Wendy from the Oceania Branch after learning that the Gem of Desire’s research value kept her trapped there. A quiz then named Theresa, Himeko Murata, Fu Hua, and Wendy as possible Herrschers of Wind, leaving St. Freya’s reputation in jeopardy.

• Wendy joined the Chat Group, and Theresa apologized for recommending her Gem of Desire experiment, which had paralyzed her legs.
• Bronya offered to build a device to remove the Gem of Desire, but the Oceania Branch refused to release Wendy because the stable gem was valuable for research.
• Kiana and Bronya planned a rescue, Durandal agreed not to stop them, and Theresa promised they would come in ten days when Judah woke up.
• A quiz asked who was the Herrscher of Wind and listed Theresa, Himeko Murata, Fu Hua, and Wendy as candidates.
• Theresa, Himeko Murata, and the others protested their innocence as the group joked that St. Freya Academy was producing Herrschers.

Wendy used the Holy Lyre der Himmel to master the Gem of Desire, escape the Oceania Branch, and fly toward the Far East, while Schicksal mistakenly reported her dead and blamed World Serpent. At St. Freya, the Kevin Puppet stopped Wendy at the gate, and Theresa went to retrieve her as Durandal described the likely consequences for the Oceania Branch staff.

• Wendy accepted the Holy Lyre der Himmel, awakened as the Herrscher of Wind, and destroyed much of the Oceania Branch’s laboratory equipment while escaping.
• Durandal reported that the Oceania Branch suspected World Serpent had attacked and falsely declared Wendy dead, though Wendy was already heading toward the Far East Branch.
• Footage showed Wendy threatening Kiana’s group aboard the Hyperion before flying away without attacking them.
• Wendy reached St. Freya Academy, where the Kevin Puppet demanded her student ID and blocked her from entering.
• Theresa went to get Wendy, while Durandal said the Oceania Branch’s staff would likely be held responsible for the lost Gem of Desire and destroyed equipment.
