Origami Tobiichi became a Spirit and fought Tohka Yatogami, refusing to abandon her mission to eliminate all Spirits. Lin Guang stopped their clash, and Origami fled; he then reassured Tohka and went with her and Yoshino to check on the injured Spirits.
At Raizen High School, Lin Guang reassured Shido Itsuka about Origami Tobiichi and later watched as she asked Kurumi Tokisaki to send her five years into the past. Kurumi agreed to use the Bullet of the Twelve, and Lin Guang began gathering the Time Stone and Space Stone powers as Origami vanished.
Origami Tobiichi traveled five years into the past and attacked [Phantom], believing she had found the person who killed her parents. After [Phantom] vanished, Origami thought she had avenged them, but Lin Guang appeared beside the wreckage and a fallen girl, leaving her confronted with a shocking scene.
After witnessing the truth about her parents’ deaths, young Origami Tobiichi found comfort in Lin Guang before he returned to the future. There, the moon turned black as Origami underwent inversion, and Lin Guang’s allies prepared to attack DEM Industries across Tengu City.
Origami Tobiichi fell into her Inverse form and attacked Tengu City, prompting Lin Guang to protect the others and confront her. As DEM arrived to capture Origami, Jessica Beli and Artemisia Bell Ashcroft clashed with Lin Guang’s Endlave Robots while Ellen flew toward him.
Ellen received Lin Guang’s code to initiate the Decapitation Plan and headed back to DEM’s tower to target Westcott, while Nia Honjo and Mukuro Hoshimiya went to find Kurumi Tokisaki. Lin Guang entered Origami Tobiichi’s mental space and reached her, helping her break free of its darkness.
Lin Guang sealed Origami Tobiichi after helping her accept the consequences of her past, then revealed his forces and offered Kurumi Tokisaki a wager about the First Spirit. Kurumi accepted the contest, which would decide whether Lin Guang shared what he knew or sealed her.
Lin Guang brought Nia Honjo and Mukuro Hoshimiya to meet Isaac Ray Peram Westcott, where he restored Ellen’s memories and revealed his spatial power. Westcott recognized Lin Guang as a potential rival to Mio Takamiya and asked what he wanted.
Lin Guang confronted Westcott and revealed that he knew the truth about Mio Takamiya and Westcott’s past, then declared he would destroy DEM Industries and kill him. Westcott activated his powerful Tactical Realizer, but Lin Guang and Nia Honjo were unharmed, and Lin Guang summoned Susanoo.
Lin Guang and Nia Honjo defeated Westcott, who was left pinned and half-dead as Mukuro Hoshimiya brought the captured Ellen to them. Lin Guang silenced Ellen and turned to speak with Westcott.
Lin Guang killed Isaac Ray Peram Westcott, erased Ellen Mira Mathers’s memories, and led the destruction and takeover of DEM Industries. Reine Murasame worried about his ability to seal Spirits and resolved to find the last child, while Kurumi Tokisaki chose to honor her agreement with Lin Guang instead of attacking Ellen.
Kurumi Tokisaki visited Lin Guang at the Itsuka household, where they shared breakfast and seemed to have reached an understanding. Lin Guang then took her to see a gathering of neighborhood cats while Kotori Itsuka and Reine Murasame monitored them from Fraxinus.
Lin Guang spent the day with Kurumi Tokisaki, who agreed to meet him again on Christmas. After returning home, Lin Guang told Kotori Itsuka and Shido Itsuka that he had founded the Sa.vior Organization, leaving them stunned.
Lin Guang revealed that he created Sa.vior to help Spirits and asked Kotori Itsuka to arrange a meeting with Reine Murasame. Reine agreed to meet him at a café, where she arrived the next day as Lin Guang considered whether he could Seal her.
Lin Guang met Reine Murasame, revealed that he knew she was Mio Takamiya and had uncovered her plan to approach Kurumi and kill him. He challenged Reine to a contest and urged her to reconsider resurrecting Shinji Takamiya through the deaths of so many people, leaving her stunned in the café.
Lin Guang returned to the [Fatebreaker] and learned that the captured blue-haired DEM operative was Mana Takamiya, Shido Itsuka’s biological younger sister. He introduced himself to Mana as the Sa.vior Organization’s founder and the ship’s owner, then began to ask her something.
Mana Takamiya recounted what happened after Kurumi disappeared and, with DEM Industries collapsing, accepted Lin Guang’s suggestion to join Ratatoskr and spend time with Shido. Lin Guang then visited Artemisia and asked which memories she wanted to keep before they were erased.
After returning from the Fatebreaker, Lin Guang reassured Kotori Itsuka and the others about his competition with Kurumi Tokisaki, whose next date with him was set for Christmas. Reine Murasame had already made her choice about resurrecting Shinji Takamiya, while Nia Honjo privately persuaded Tohka Yatogami to agree to something.
Tohka Yatogami sneaked into Lin Guang’s room on Nia Honjo’s encouragement, but Lin Guang turned the situation around and spent the morning with her. Afterward, Tohka woke with her Astral Dress briefly shifting between its normal and inverse forms, while Nia covered for Lin Guang downstairs.
Lin Guang and Kurumi Tokisaki spent Christmas together, and Kurumi asked whether he would accept her despite her past sins. As Lin Guang promised to stay with her, Mio Takamiya emerged from Kurumi’s shadow and attacked, but Lin Guang caught her hand.
Mio Takamiya revealed herself and attacked Kurumi Tokisaki and Lin Guang, but Lin Guang nullified her Spacequake and stopped time around her. Mio broke free and transformed, while aboard the Fraxinus Reine Murasame revealed to Kotori and Shido that she was the First Spirit.
Reine Murasame merged with Mio Takamiya, restoring Mio’s First Spirit form, and Mio attacked the Spirits as Lin Guang and the others tried to stop her. Tohka Yatogami awakened [Nahemah] and managed to wound Mio, while Shido Itsuka sought answers from her.
Lin Guang sealed Kurumi Tokisaki and joined the Spirits against Mio Takamiya, while revealing that Shido Itsuka was Shinji Takamiya’s reincarnation and restoring his memories. The confrontation resumed when Mio attacked the group, but spatial annihilation blocked her power.
Lin Guang damaged Mio Takamiya’s First Angel and resisted the reality-altering power of her Second Angel, while Mio realized she needed to use a greater power to defeat him. The chapter ended as Mio began forming the seed of her Third Angel.
Lin Guang trapped himself and Mio Takamiya inside a spatial sphere to face her Third Angel without endangering the other Spirits. He unleashed a fully powered strike against its erasing force, leaving the clash unresolved.
