• Cerydra reorganized the surrendered soldiers into the Flame-Chase Army, and the troops cheered, “Glory belongs to Caesar!”

Hyacine led the group to Aegle’s sky fortress, where she awakened the Mural of Celestial Phenomena and Anaxa considered turning it into a weapon against the Black Tide. Phainon grew troubled by how much Sera had changed and questioned whether he deserved to be called the Savior.

• Caesar led the Flame-Chase Army onward after its victory as Cerydra pursued the conquest of Amphoreus and fate.
• Hyacine used a rainbow bridge to bring Phainon, Mydei, Trianne, and Anaxa to Aegle’s sky fortress in search of the sky Core Flame.

Phainon joined the others in following a winged pegasus to the Black Tide-corrupted Sorabis, where Hyacine prepared to heal the heroic spirit. Encouraged to act on his wish to protect his family and everyone on Amphoreus, Phainon stepped forward to face Sorabis alone.

• Mydei challenged Phainon to see who could deal with Aegle first, briefly drawing him out of his self-denial.

• Phainon freed Sorabis with Dawn's Early Light, and Hyacine helped him take the form of a heroic spirit.
• Sorabis questioned Hyacine’s strength and knowledge of Senios, but Phainon and Mydei stood by her, convincing Sorabis to guide them.

• Anaxa repaired the celestial globe, but Aegle’s eyes vanished again because her remaining mind instinctively fled the darkness.
• Hyacine asked Sorabis to reveal the history behind Senios’s legend and presented the feather Cyrene had secretly given her.

Hyacine uncovered the truth about her ancestor and answered Senios by declaring that humanity deserved to be saved. As the group challenged the sky, they pulled down Aegle, now transformed by the black tide and Honkai Energy.

• Sorabis consented to Hyacine using Remembrance to reveal the past, and Hyacine summoned its scenes for everyone to witness.
• Cyrene and Firefly visited Sera, who said Amphoreus’s people would write their own future and called himself the story’s protagonist.
• Hyacine learned that her ancestor was a nameless Chrysos Heir who had begged Senios for mercy, then told Senios that humanity’s hope had endured and vowed to create a new dawn.
• 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.
• After seeing Phainon’s golden blood ignite the sun mark on his neck, Anaxa realized Phainon could bear the Heirs’ powers and began channeling their authorities into him.

• Hyacine took the fallen Core Flame of Sky and merged it with her body.

• At Creation's Vortex, the gathered Core Flames completed their work, and Phainon teased Mydei about his self-declared title as everyone prepared for the hymn of fate.

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.
• Cerydra rallied the Flame-Chase Army as purple traces spread across the sky, and a black feather from Sera created cocoon-shaped mists beyond the city.

• Phainon approached his black-clad counterpart, sensed its intense hatred and scorching Core Flame, and was forced back by the heat.

Phainon defeated Black Calamity by bearing his Core Flame and carrying on his wish for Amphoreus to reach tomorrow. Seraphis revealed that he had made himself the vessel for Amphoreus’s fate and asked the Chrysos Heirs to break the chains around him, leaving Phainon to agree to fight Sera.

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

Anaxagoras realized that a miracle required despair, possibility, the power of wishes, and the faith of Amphoreus’s people, then asked Tribios for help.

• 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.
• Sera gave Cipher a seed of Elation, and she ran along its Path until she encountered an Aeon and gained the power to alter possibility.

• Phainon stepped onto the Path of Destruction and confronted Nanook after the god appeared above the battlefield.

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.
• Phainon’s returned miracle strengthened the Flame-Chase Army, allowing its soldiers to hold back both invading forces.
• Phainon, Mydei, and the other Heirs combined their powers with Cyrene’s crystal arrows to repel the beams and severely damage [Mythos] and [Logos].
