Night Parade · Halloween
The HeLa Cell evolved from a small organism into a city-destroying monster, then survived the military’s bombardment by transforming into Hela. Sun Hai took Hela in, while the Special Investigation Squad prepared to test new recruit Xing Lan.
Xing Lan brought Hela into the Night Stars, where the team discovered that Hela was a Symbiote bonded with the regenerative HeLa Cell and prepared her for recruit training. At camp, Hela joined the recruits’ test and teamed up with Ye Yiqing against an instructor.
The recruits endured a wilderness training exercise filled with Variants and illusions, while Hela’s past and Han Xiaoxiao’s trauma came to light. Ye Yiqing and his companions defeated several threats and reunited, while Ye Ciqing and Wang Canxin continued fighting the Mirror Dream Flower.
Hela and Keke spent New Year with Qin Gucheng before joining his team on a mission to hunt a centipede Variant in Guangshen. Qin Gucheng died protecting the recruits, and Hela was left grieving as the enemy escaped with Night Kill.
Hela and the Ye brothers joined the Special Investigation Squad and took part in a mission to investigate Chicken Village, where the villagers tried to offer them to a god. The squad defeated the village’s supernatural threats, but Nanming was left critically injured and taken to the hospital.
The Special Investigation Squad traveled to City B to help Feng Xuan and became caught in the Light God Society’s attack, which revealed Hela’s past and devastated the team. Hela was captured after Sun Hai and the others died, while the Light God Society’s plans and the next move toward [Life] came into view.
After escaping City A, Hela pursued strength and survival, reaching a floating city where she met Fulan and Ailin. There she helped face the sky’s demand for a girl, learned the Five Calamities’ identities, and bound Fulan to her through symbiosis.
Hela gathered allies, took control of a city, and set her sights on the Godslaying Technology Company after its Armored Warrior destroyed one of her clones. In City of Sin, she and Aidan encountered a group of children who were surviving by robbing people and followed them to their warehouse.
Hela found work in entertainment while investigating Godslaying Technology Company, and Aidan confronted doubts about his dream. Their search led to a destructive battle with Kевire and [Autumn], which ended with Hela reaching Starlight as [Autumn] escaped.
Aidan and Fulan became entangled with the Godslaying squad as the Four Seasons attacked the city. After Aidan and Kевire fell to Summer and Autumn, Hela joined the squad to fight Winter, Spring, and Autumn.
Aidan survived the battle, while Ground punished Hela and the Four Seasons before Aidan left to protect the children and free prisoners. The story then followed Ye Yiqing’s escape and a mysterious girl released from a submerged rock, before showing Hela’s new life with her mother and Zhao Rui.
Hela adapted to life beneath the sea, began training to become a guardian, and discovered her extraordinary strength as Variants went berserk. While helping a Sea Herring in Ten Thousand Sharks Valley, she encountered Night Star Nangong Wu, and her sudden loss of control left them facing the pursuing Titan Giant Shark.
Nangong Wu died after escaping Hela, and Yan Wusheng's grief drove the humans into a war against the Sea Shark Dragons. Lei Yong killed White Foam Shark, but the fighting continued as Hela collapsed and Mingsha's sister faced Lei Yong.
Hela partnered with the Light God Society after Nan Tian revealed the origins of Variants and his plan to wipe out humanity. She then sought Tuote in Russia and helped investigate the Star God Group, reaching a hidden laboratory with Meng Yuan and her sister.
Meng Yuan learned the truth about the Variants and was captured after Nan Tian revealed her nature and took her away. Hela reached the capital, reunited with Aidan, and fought off the Fallen God Group, but [Ground] arrived and trapped Aidan in a pillar of flesh.
After the battle with the Light God Society, Hela and Aidan settled near the Shimizu Residence, and Hela took a job at a media company. While trying to reach Gu Gongming, she encountered Han Xiaoxiao outside Pearl Tower and sensed that her life force was rapidly fading.
Hela uncovered the Night Stars’ hidden history, attacked their headquarters, and exposed the truth about Ailifa’s death. After helping Qin Fengfeng escape and gathering her companions, she reached the Light God Society in Antarctica, where she and her allies submitted their wishes.
Hela and the others fought the Night Star’s attempt to kill the Four Seasons, while Wang Canxin seized control of the Night Stars and manipulated the battle for public support. After Hela saved the group at the cost of Yuliu’s life, the survivors set out to face the remaining Calamities as Lin Wushuang, Aidan, and Chi Jiu approached the Tree of Terra.
Aidan and Yao Di joined Lin Wushuang’s mission to find the Tree of Terra, but Aidan’s battle with Lü Weitian’s family ended in the deaths of the Heroic Spirits and Aidan’s own fading remnant soul. As Hela read Aidan’s letter and the Five Calamities fused into Ultimate, the newborn creature began devastating a city.
Hela revisited Life’s memories as the Night Stars regrouped, while Ye Linwan’s tragic past and her final stand were revealed. Wang Canxin’s plan ended in a nuclear blast, but [Ultimate] survived the attack and began adapting as the Night Stars launched their assault.
