• Mydei and Phainon pulled chains from the sky and brought down a black, egg-shaped mass that Anaxa identified as the Herrscher of the Void, the Titan of the Sky, Aegle (Senios).

Aegle, controlled by Seraphis as the Herrscher of the Void, attacked the group, but Anaxa found a way to combine the Chrysos Heirs’ powers through Phainon and bring her down. Hyacine claimed the Core Flame of Sky, but the trial continued when a Black Tide-corrupted Aegle appeared.

• Aegle emerged as the Herrscher of the Void, and her spatial powers turned Mydei’s attack back on him while she bombarded the group with meteorites and storms.

As fate manifested as Honkai-tainted versions of the Chrysos Heirs outside Okhema, Cerydra and the Flame-Chase Army prepared to fight their alternate selves and surpass Amphoreus’s doomed fate. Phainon faced a black-clad version of himself whose Core Flame burned with overwhelming heat and hatred.

• Anaxa observed the vast Honkai cloud over Okhema and considered whether fate had taken physical form through the Cocoon’s Remembrance.

• Phainon endured Black Calamity’s fire and defeated him with Dawn’s Early Light, while Black Calamity urged him to keep fighting and winning.

• Sera challenged the Chrysos Heirs to defeat the fate wrapped around him and hurled a spear at them.
• Aglaea, Mydei, Tribbie, Trianne, and Ti Ning tried to stop the spear, but it broke through their defenses.

Phainon and the twelve Chrysos Heirs faced the Anti-Creator, the complete hatred of a Khaslana from another Amphoreus, while the Flame-Chase Army fought the Black Tide and the Antimatter Legion. After the Heirs damaged the Anti-Creator, Iron Tomb moved to take hold of its hatred-infused spear.

• Phainon chose to bear Khaslana’s rage rather than extinguish it or let it harm his companions and Amphoreus.
• The Anti-Creator summoned [Mythos] and [Logos], sent beams toward the Chrysos Heirs, and unleashed the Black Tide and Antimatter Legion against the Flame-Chase Army.

• Iron Tomb moved, grasped the Anti-Creator’s hatred-infused spear with four hands, and proclaimed itself Anti-Nous.

• Sera explained that Amphoreus had become a starship whose core was accessible only to authorized people and whose movements were controlled automatically through the Scepter.

• Sera told Cyrene and Castorice that he had to travel to a timeline only he could reach, and they wished him well.

Sera arrived in a future where Nihility had engulfed the cosmos and discovered that Elio had never formed the Stellaron Hunters.

• Dr. Ratio and Aventurine discussed the genius, while Himeko realized she and March 7th were among the few who could see Sera.
• Himeko noticed a ticket on Sera and inferred his connection to the Nameless, so she invited him to speak privately.
• Sera introduced himself as Seraphis, a Genius Society member and an Astral Express passenger who had yet to set out, and followed Himeko and March 7th to a private room.

• Sera resisted Sunday’s attempts to trap him in Taiyi’s Dream, then broke out into real Penacony and encountered Acheron.
• Sera brought Acheron to Boothill aboard the Astral Express, where she gave him Tiernan’s keepsake bullet, and Sera entrusted Boothill with the truth and the choice to summon the Galaxy Rangers.
• Boothill chose to use the bullet, and Sera announced the start of the final battle as Himeko, March 7th, Acheron, and others prepared to act.
• Boothill fired the keepsake as a meteor, while allies across Penacony answered the call and Sam faced the fear of Propagation alone in the primordial dream.
