Power Progression

Background / History

Birth and Life at C03

Lu Qian was born with the Prison Doctor’s assistance after Lu Xiao returned from Japan. Ivan placed her egg within an Alchemy Array that accelerated its development, and Lu Xiao named her shortly before she hatched. She immediately embraced his finger, but her attempts to vocalize overwhelmed the surrounding adults, leaving Dante unconscious 85 99.

Her arrival prompted several gifts: Ivan made her a bone castle, Chainsaw Man promised to supply her snacks, and the Prison Doctor gave her a dress fashioned from the Creator’s skin. The Doctor asked Lu Xiao to teach her not to harm humans and to bring her for an assessment 85 87 88 89.

Dante later observed that Lu Xiao had become more thoughtful and human since her birth. Remembering the Omniscient Mirror’s warning to be careful of Lu Qian, Lu Xiao began questioning whether her influence was responsible for the change 99.

Assessment and the Affinity Warning

The Doctor registered Lu Qian as Serial Number 307 after learning about Screech and Affinity. Her demonstration of Screech shattered the laboratory’s glass, incapacitated ordinary staff, and triggered the facility alarm. A subsequent healing song revived the staff and clarified their thoughts 161.

Lu Xiao then disclosed the Mirror’s warning that Affinity might destroy C03. The Doctor interpreted this as the facility’s personnel eventually falling under her control. When the Director proposed eliminating her, Lu Xiao refused to allow anyone to harm his daughter 162.

The same influence later became useful during a mental-contamination crisis. Her song failed to visibly relieve the staff’s madness, but they obeyed when she repeated the Doctor’s order to return to their workstations. The Doctor revealed that he had deliberately arranged regular contact between Lu Qian and the staff to cultivate this response 326.

Education and Military Enlistment

Xiao Yu became responsible for Lu Qian’s early education and life-skills lessons, while Ivan remained closely involved in teaching and caring for her. Military Headquarters personnel also began attending her classes, despite the lessons covering elementary-school material 712 794 848.

Zhang Weidong attempted to appoint her a Senior Colonel, prompting an angry confrontation with Lu Xiao. Lu Qian ultimately chose to enter the Ninth Group Army as a new recruit instead; later accounts describe her membership as auxiliary or unofficial. Lu Xiao then prioritized her ability to protect herself, and Chef began adding large quantities of divine flesh and blood to her meals 791 792 848 885.

Taoist elders subsequently competed to recruit her as a disciple. Lu Qian rejected them because they began arguing before explaining their skills and seemed unreliable to her 885.

Ghost-Faced Moth Heritage

Driver’s question about whether Lu Qian counted as a Zerg led Lu Xiao to consult the Doctor and Antioch. Antioch confirmed her biological classification, while the Doctor proposed that her pheromones and sound-based abilities might allow her to command the Swarm. The group agreed to gamble on making her the Zerg Empress and prepared to conceal their activities 962 963 964.

Nia later explained the danger associated with Lu Qian’s inherited talent. During the previous Universe year, the Supreme Insect Emperor had expelled the Ghost-Faced Moths from the Zerg and hunted their Empress because Affinity could interfere with control of the Swarm. The hunted Empress fell in the Solar System, where a vast Ghost-Faced Moth Hive remained awaiting its Empress’s return 1223.

Lu Qian voluntarily stayed on Earth under Nia’s protection when Lu Xiao departed into the starry sky. Because Nia and the Hive would follow her wherever she went, her presence also gave the Solar System a powerful defense 1223.

Galaxy Academy and Zerg Succession

At Galaxy Academy, Lu Qian befriended Nuan Meng and helped her navigate enrollment procedures. Her own identity was public knowledge: the Zerg’s supreme Empress had announced her as the Zerg Princess, and Nia served as her personal bodyguard 1308 1408.

Her friendship acquired diplomatic significance. A visit to the Dream Clan’s Home Planet, arranged by the Warden, publicly emphasized her closeness to Nuan Meng and helped persuade the Mother God Elves to release the Dream Clan from vassalage 1413.

After graduating, Lu Qian accompanied Nia back to the Zerg. Tina publicly designated her as successor, and Lu Qian’s affectionate reunion with Lu Xiao before a Zerg delegation revealed the importance of his connection to the future ruler 1476.

Tina eventually abdicated in her favor. With Nia’s help, Lu Qian secured complete control of the Swarm in two years and then returned to Earth. When Bai Xuedong later requested stronger Zerg forces for the Species Ranking Tournament’s Preliminary Round, she offered fifty thousand King Worms—or an entirely King-Worm legion—but required a convincing explanation of why the Zerg should participate 1510 1517.

Appearance

• Hair and face: Long, silky pink hair and delicate, exceptionally beautiful features 85 628.
• Wings: Magnificent wings without the frightening human-face patterns seen on the Ghost-Faced Moth Empress Lu Xiao remembered. Later descriptions call them transparent and butterfly-like, or cicada-like, with drifting powder 85 628 755.
• Growth: Barely larger than Lu Xiao’s finger at hatching, palm-sized by a later journey, and over eighty centimeters tall during her schooling. She eventually resembles a four- or five-year-old child 85 115 628 755.
• Clothing: Wears little dresses, including a pink princess dress 89 755.
• School accessories: Carries a pink schoolbag decorated with bone charms 628.
• Habitual perch: Frequently lands on Lu Xiao’s head, continuing the habit even after becoming much larger 89 755 896.

Personality

Lu Qian is affectionate toward Lu Xiao and initially shy around unfamiliar people. As a newborn, she hides among his hair before cautiously accepting the Prison Doctor’s gift, then remembers to thank him. She is lively, enjoys her castle and dresses, and readily imitates the adults around her—including Lu Xiao’s swearing 87 88 89 209.

She also shows concern for others. She offers to sing for the distressed Liu Ni, approaches Nuan Meng when she appears lost, and agrees to remain on Earth so the Hive can protect the Solar System 712 1223 1308.

Her decisions become increasingly independent: she chooses recruit status rather than a senior military appointment, declines unwanted teachers, and later asks Bai Xuedong to justify a major commitment of Zerg forces rather than agreeing solely because of her father’s connections 792 885 1517.

Abilities & Skills

Screech

A sound-based ability with two distinct effects: Soul Rending and Soul Blessing 161.

• Soul Rending: Inflicts intense pain perceived as coming from the soul. A single scale shatters glass, makes ordinary staff collapse bleeding, and injures even Lu Xiao, the Doctor, and the Director 161.
• Soul Blessing: Produces a soothing song that revives unconscious staff, clears their thoughts, and provides a healing effect. The Doctor identifies it as a temporary increase in mental power 161.
• Early control problems: Her casual vocalizations hurt bystanders, leading Lu Xiao to forbid indiscriminate use. By her formal assessment, she can distinguish the harmful and beneficial effects 85 115 161.
• Purification limit: Her song does not visibly resolve the staff’s madness during a later mental-contamination incident 326.

Affinity / Attraction

A pheromone-based talent that makes surrounding living beings feel favorably toward her. The Omniscient Mirror identifies her Affinity as distorted, while the Doctor later uses the name “Attraction” when discussing its potential against the Zerg 115 161 962.

• Cumulative influence: Prolonged exposure unconsciously draws others closer to her, reaching deep into the soul 326.
• Induced obedience: Facility staff affected by madness obey her spoken command after sustained prior exposure, even though their crazed expressions remain 326.
• Threat to C03: The Mirror warns that the ability may destroy the facility; the Doctor interprets the danger as personnel coming under her control 162.
• Threat to Swarm control: The inherited talent can interfere with the Supreme Insect Emperor’s hold over the Swarm, explaining the historical persecution of the Ghost-Faced Moths 1223.
• Exposure matters: Lu Xiao’s exposure remains comparatively limited because she spends much of their time together inside the Bone Carving Castle 1223.

Devouring and Growth

Consuming the bodies of her own kind accelerates her development 963.

• Mother Empress’s remains: Their consumption dramatically improves both of her abilities 794 963.
• Divine nourishment: Gods’ flesh and blood further accelerate her mental-power growth toward deityhood 792 794.
• Ritual-free potential: Ivan states that she can become a deity naturally once her mental power reaches the necessary level 794.

Flight and Size Reduction

• Flight: Flies immediately after hatching and later moves quickly enough to reach Lu Xiao’s head before he can stop her 85 755.
• Size reduction: Shrinks while flying back into the Bone Carving Castle 115.

Swarm Command

• Complete control: Takes control of the entire Swarm within two years of succeeding Tina 1510.
• Sovereign authority: The Zerg Empress is the species’ sole ruler; all Zerg life-forms, including other empresses, must obey her absolutely. The throne is held for life unless voluntarily relinquished 1476.
• Military commitments: Can offer tens of thousands of King Worms or propose a legion composed entirely of them 1517.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Bone Carving Castle — Ivan’s gift, containing rooms, a garden, and a swing. It serves as her portable residence and can be carried as a small hanging castle. Ivan later conceals its aura with an Alchemy Array 88 89 115 964.
• Creator-skin dress — A gift from the Prison Doctor that changes appearance according to her wishes and adjusts its size with her body 89.
• Bone camera — Used to photograph the Director’s animated internal organs 161.
• Pink schoolbag — Decorated with numerous bone charms and used for her schoolwork 628 896.

Relationships

• Lu Xiao — Father. Fiercely protects her, supports her education and growth, and refuses to sacrifice her over Affinity’s danger. As an adult ruler, she makes her own decisions about Zerg military commitments rather than having him answer for her 162 792 1517.
• Ivan / Doctor Ivan — Godfather, castle-maker, teacher, and major caregiver. Keeps track of even trivial details of her life despite his research duties; Lu Qian later complains that he no longer carves toys for her 85 88 755 794.
• Prison Doctor — Godfather who assists with her birth and gives her the transforming dress. Her affectionate address visibly delights him 89 99 178.
• Doctor — Godfather and researcher of her abilities. Registers her containment file and deliberately builds her influence among C03 personnel 161 326.
• Chainsaw Man — One of the godfathers Lu Xiao names at her birth; promises to provide all her snacks 85.
• Xiao Yu — Early-education and life-skills teacher who frequently accompanies her and cares for her after school 712 848 896.
• Zhang Weidong — Attempts to appoint her a Senior Colonel to strengthen Lu Xiao’s attention to his soldiers. She ultimately chooses recruit status instead 791 792.
• Nia — Protector and personal bodyguard. Cares for her on Earth, accompanies her return to the Zerg, and helps her consolidate control after succession 1223 1408 1476 1510.
• Tina — Predecessor as Zerg Empress. Publicly names Lu Qian as successor before abdicating in her favor 1476 1510.
• Nuan Meng — Close friend and academy classmate. Their public companionship becomes an important factor in the Dream Clan’s diplomatic independence 1308 1408 1413.
• Liu Ni — Affectionately addressed as “Sister Nini.” Lu Qian comforts her through song and later agrees to maintain close contact during a diplomatic visit 712 1476 1480.
