Chapter Summaries

Akashi warned Su Luo that Carl’s research might unleash a world-destroying threat like Mysterious Enemy X, prompting him to take the possibility seriously. After considering whether the Known Universe was connected to the port’s universe, Su Luo resolved to watch Carl and intervene if necessary.

• Akashi shared her fear that Carl might cause a catastrophe like the one that destroyed World Alpha, and Su Luo connected her suspicions to factions in the Known Universe.
• Akashi explained Mysterious Enemy X, Antix, and the Judgement Plan to Angel Yan and Zhixin, while Kaisha received the information through the Sacred Knowledge Repository.
• Su Luo confirmed that Antix had sent itself into the past and created Parallel Worlds, and Akashi called him the ship girls’ savior.
• Kaisha tried to calculate whether Carl could unleash a similar threat but lacked enough information, so she decided to discuss possible preparations with Hexi.
• Su Luo reasoned that the port and the Known Universe might already be connected and wrote Carl’s name in his notebook as a potential target if he became dangerous.

Akashi and the angels discovered that a new demon squad had arrived, while Zhixin helped Azi cope with the demons’ psychological torment without altering her memories. The chapter ended with Amagi hurrying to check on Taiho, whose condition had worsened.

• Akashi detected a brief signal near the edge of her radar, and Angel Yan flew out to investigate while Zhixin stayed to protect Su Luo and the others.
• Angel Yan reported that another demon squad had descended and went to fight them, while Zhixin warned the Queen that other cleared planets might also be under attack.
• Zhixin explained that the demons had spared Azi to make her live in fear, then blocked the harmful effects of those memories at Su Luo’s request.
• Zhixin shared Angel Yan’s field of vision with Akashi and Su Luo so they could watch the fight.
• Amagi hurried toward Taiho’s room with Shinano, worried because Taiho’s condition seemed to have worsened.

Shinano visited Taiho, whose distress over the missing Commander had worsened, and learned why Taiho believed the others were keeping him from her. Amagi explained the port’s history of controlling access to the Commander after Golden Deer’s office visits, while the Commander remained missing.

• Amagi brought Shinano to Taiho and explained that dreamwalking might soothe her but could not resolve her distress without the Commander’s return.
• Shinano told Taiho that divination had predicted the Commander would return safely, but Taiho rejected the reassurance when she could not see him.
• Amagi explained that Taiho may resent the group for stopping a plan involving the Commander and for keeping her from the office key that Princess Lala had carried.
• Amagi recounted how Golden Deer used the office key, then an axe, to enter the Commander’s office, prompting Queen Elizabeth to change the lock and have Warspite guard the door.
• Amagi said the office and bedroom keys and entrances were tightly controlled afterward, with Taiho and Akagi considered potential dangers.

Shinano helped Amagi stabilize Taiho by putting her into a sustaining dream, while Amagi described the port's efforts to find Su Luo. Observer Zero then sent Empress to deliver information to the port, warning her that the ship girls were not calm.

• Shinano used a Dream Butterfly to put Taiho to sleep and placed her in a dream that would temporarily ease her distress.
• Shinano told Amagi to watch Akagi closely, then stayed beside Taiho while Amagi went to check on Akagi and Jun'yō.
• Amagi told Shinano that the port's factions and allies were coordinating research, searches, and preparations to reach Su Luo across worlds.
• Observer Zero learned that Su Luo was missing in another world and ordered Empress to bring helpful information to the port.
• Empress agreed to go, then suspected that the Experimental Agency might cause trouble and resolved to be careful.

Observer and the Experimental Agency traveled toward the port while Observer complained about their assignments, until Arbiter Empress intercepted them and delivered data intended to help the ship girls find the Commander. Empress left after the transfer, and Helena META noticed the interruption in communications as she continued researching with Lala and the others.

• Observer complained to Purifier, Constructor, and Tester about the port, Helena META, and the Arbitration Agency while sailing backward toward the port.
• Arbiter Empress appeared behind Observer and cut off the Experimental Agency's communications with Helena META.
• Empress reassured Observer that she had not come to eliminate them and transmitted incomplete data about space travel, weapons, and space battleship construction.
• Empress explained that the information would help the ship girls find the Commander, then departed after the Experimental Agency reached safe waters.
• Observer turned around to sail properly and became quieter, while Helena META noticed the communications interruption and resumed research with Lala and the others.

Angel Yan cleared demon-infected settlements while Su Luo and Akashi witnessed the destruction and agreed to discuss cooperation with her. Meanwhile, Morgana suspected the angels were protecting something on the planet and ordered two demons to investigate it covertly.

• Angel Yan explained that Morgana's contagious demon genes changed infected people's minds, making it impossible to simply remove the infection and restore them.
• Angel Yan burned the ruined village and moved through settlements, killing the demons as Su Luo and Akashi watched the devastation.
• Zhixin blocked the bloody images from Su Luo, and Angel Yan returned to discuss cooperation with Su Luo and Akashi.
• Morgana learned from footage that Angel Yan had destroyed a demon squad on a planet the angels had already cleared, and she ordered two demons to investigate it in secret.
• Morgana demanded more resources from Carl, who said the remaining supplies would arrive soon.

Su Luo and Keisha discussed cooperation between Angel Civilization and the port, but Keisha’s request for future protection and a new home did not secure an agreement. Su Luo asked what the angels could offer in return and left the negotiation open for further discussion.

• Su Luo introduced himself as a ship girl commander and explained that Akashi was a girl born through a Mind Cube.
• Keisha asked Su Luo to help Angel Civilization survive the coming chaos or find a new home, noting that fewer than a hundred thousand angels remained.
• Su Luo inferred that Keisha expected to be excluded from any relocation, and Keisha confirmed that she was entrusting the angels to him.
• Keisha offered anything in Merlot Heavenly Court in exchange, but Su Luo said they still needed to discuss the terms further.

Su Luo agreed to cooperate with Angel Civilization but replaced its proposed terms with a plan to preserve the angels’ rule and prevent chaos in the Known Universe. Kaisha accepted, leaving the two sides with an agreement to eliminate threats and protect Angel Civilization’s future.

• Kaisha weighed the port’s advantages and secretly tried to contact Hexi, but Hexi’s communications remained blocked.
• Su Luo clarified that he accepted cooperation but rejected Angel Civilization’s initial terms as insufficient and one-sided.
• Su Luo proposed that the port help eliminate Morgana, Carl, and other forces threatening stability while supporting the angels’ continued rule over the Known Universe.
• Su Luo offered to help Angel Civilization find a new home or conceal Merlot Heavenly Court if the angels faced an existential crisis.
• Kaisha accepted Su Luo’s conditions and offered Angel Civilization’s resources for the port to use as needed.

Kaisha explained why she had planned to control the timing of her own death and retirement, but Su Luo’s alliance offer changed her plans. She assigned Angel Yan and Angel Zhixin to guard Su Luo, then the call ended and Akashi served them a rabbit-filled lunch.

• Kaisha told Su Luo she had intended to end the Justice Order on her own terms, easing pressure on the Angels while asserting that only the Angel Civilization could end its rule.
• Su Luo asked Kaisha for intelligence about the demons and Carl, and she agreed to have Angel Yan and Angel Zhixin provide it.
• Kaisha invited Su Luo to Merlot Heavenly Court, but he declined for the time being, so she ordered Yan and Zhixin to stay with him as guards.
• Akashi and Azi brought out a meal made from rabbits the Manjuu had caught, and Su Luo invited Angel Yan and Angel Zhixin to eat.
• Akashi urged the two Angels to finish the hand-shredded rabbit while feeding Su Luo and caring for Azi, then privately delighted in the thought that the rabbit would make them stupid.

Queen Keisha told Hexi she had abandoned her plan to abdicate after agreeing to a partnership with Su Luo to eliminate threats to the Justice Order. Meanwhile, Morgana prepared to resurrect her demon legion, and Akashi restarted the Super Game Maker with Su Luo and Angel Yan standing by.

• Queen Keisha told Hexi that Su Luo had proposed a partnership to eliminate forces threatening the Justice Order, and she explained that Liang Bing had died when she stabbed her.

• Su Luo entrusted Azi to Angel Zhixin and went outside with Akashi, while Angel Yan followed as his guard.
