• Kang De returned to the White Mist World, where A Xing and Sword Saint Cascading Snow told him the Stoneheart Warband had deployed heavy magic devices and was preparing to attack Agra.

After the Stoneheart Warband was destroyed by Kang De’s modern weapons, its commander Bailanpusi warned Xierfankai Le that the elves faced a new system of warfare and urged him not to wait for Kang De. Xierfankai Le ordered a night assault on Danfeng Lucerne, while Kang De returned to Earth after discovering that his howitzers and anti-aircraft vehicles had not respawned.

Kang De returned to Moyani during another attack and learned that Chakat II had named him Comora’s heir. He discovered the attackers included seemingly mindless Gambian soldiers, then saw a huge convoy of civilian vehicles charging toward the city.

• Kang De returned to Earth after the heavy weapons vanished from the White Mist World and found Moyani under attack, then spoke with his father and Kirov.

• Kirov explained that the Russian defenders were holding position while unidentified attackers advanced, and Kang De went to the front after ordering a ceasefire.

• Kang De warned Chakat II that the attackers seemed to have been “Yuried,” then saw a massive convoy of civilian vehicles racing toward them.

Kang De stopped a convoy of civilians who had been mentally controlled, then learned that Little Bob’s treasure could control people. He returned to the other world to ask Sword Saint Cascading Snow how to break the spell, and she said the battlefield held something that could help.

• Dimitri prepared to stop the speeding vehicles, but Kang De raced toward them to keep the soldiers from killing possible civilians.

• Kang De gave Kang Jinzhu an amulet to resist mind control and explained that he planned to kill Little Bob and take the artifact, while Kang Jinzhu would alert people back home.

• Chakat II accepted Kang De’s hand and agreed to try, though he privately doubted the idea.

Kang De intercepted and freed a second group of mind-controlled Comorans bound for the airport, then discussed with Chakat II whether Little Bob might use them as bombs or hostages.

• Kang De traced the French-backed plan to seize the treasures in the Comoran and Gambian kings’ tombs and learned that Little Bob’s scheme had been disrupted.
• Kang De used an elven spell scroll to free a convoy of controlled civilians and had Chakat II direct them home over the radio.
• Kang De told Chakat II that Little Bob might be sending civilians to the airport as suicide bombers or bringing them as hostages to negotiate his escape.
• Chakat II said he would consider negotiating because he feared that pursuing Little Bob could get the civilians killed and burden Kang De with guilt.
• After Chakat II reported that Little Bob had requested talks, Kang De said he would find a way to kill him and proposed using the mind-control artifact himself.

Chakat II confronted Little Bob Buruo over his threats against Comora’s civilians and demanded the release of the hostages and the return of the royal treasure. As the two argued, Kang De used the call’s signal to locate Little Bob at an airport in western Comora and flew there to attack, unaware that Little Bob was calmly anticipating his move.

• Chakat II rejected Little Bob’s demand to speak with Kang De and refused to be intimidated by threats against Comora’s civilians.

• Kang De learned the location, prepared a surprise attack, and flew toward the airport to end the conflict and collect supplies.
• Little Bob continued arguing with Chakat II while secretly remaining calm, his eyes glowing gold as he anticipated Kang De’s arrival.

Kang De infiltrated the western airport to find Little Bob, but discovered that the apparent hiding place held only phones carrying their ongoing call. After Kang De joined Chakat II’s negotiation, the call exposed Little Bob’s location at the French military base, leaving the team ready to move.

• Kang De surveyed the western airport, suspected Little Bob’s decision to stay in Comora was a trap, and entered the grounds invisibly.
• Kang De used a mechanical beetle to search the terminal and found two satellite phones connected to the call between Chakat II and Little Bob, but no sign of Little Bob himself.
• Kang De photographed the phones and sent the image to Kirov, who showed Chakat II; Kang De then removed the phones’ sound problem with a scroll and returned them to Moyani for monitoring.
• Kang De joined Chakat II’s call and rejected Little Bob’s offer of friendship, then invited him to meet face-to-face.
• Little Bob noticed a sound and the call disconnected, but a technician identified the signal’s location as the French military base.

• Little Bob Buruo and his pilots regained control of themselves, and Little Bob spotted what looked like a howitzer ahead of the aircraft.

Kang De shot down Little Bob’s plane, ending the immediate threat to Comora and leaving him to search the wreckage for the royal relic. He then coordinated with Chakat II to pressure the French troops into surrender while heading to raid their base for supplies before returning to the other world.

• Kang De fired a howitzer at Little Bob’s plane, destroyed it, and attacked the wreckage with lightning to ensure no one survived.
• Kang De searched the burning wreckage for the Comora royal relic but could not find it among the scattered debris.
• Kirov told Kang De that the French had stopped firing, the civilians were safe in shelters, and footage of the French shelling had been recorded.
• Chakat II thanked Kang De and said Comora would demand the French troops surrender and hand over their weapons in exchange for permission to rescue their comrades.
• Kang De flew toward the French military base to search its warehouses for weapons and supplies before preparing for the battle of Danfeng Lucerne.

Kang De raided the damaged French base for supplies to aid Danfeng Lucerne, then left to stop Gambian soldiers from terrorizing a city in northwestern Comora. As Horus questioned whether Little Bob or the ancient artifact had controlled the other, Kang De realized he might have overlooked who was truly in control.

• Kang De attacked the Gambian soldiers who had stayed to commit violence, while sparing those who had fled for the moment.
• Horus asked whether the ancient artifact had controlled Little Bob, and Kang De began to suspect that he had misunderstood their relationship.

After stopping mind-controlled soldiers from opening fire during the king’s meeting with the French, he ordered a search of the city, but gunfire erupted from the Foreign Legion’s encampment.

• Kang De and Horus reasoned that the relic had used Little Bob as a host and had faked its disappearance to pursue another scheme.
• Kang De warned King Chakat to retreat from his meeting with the French and rushed to the city outskirts.

• Gunfire erupted near the Foreign Legion Comora Task Force’s encampment.

Kang De broke the mind control over the French Foreign Legion and restored order, while remaining alert for the artifact spirit. The spirit then attacked the Chinese embassy, where Horus confronted a golden sphere and screamed in pain.

• Kang De agreed to help the French soldiers and gave King Chakat II a talisman to guard against mind control before flying to the encampment.
• Kang De dispelled the mind control, calmed the soldiers, and had Lieutenant Colonel Virey organize the shaken survivors while he searched for the artifact spirit.
• A Frenchman approached the Chinese embassy with a lead case, but a driverless Humvee killed him after the golden substance inside drew the guards closer.
• The golden sphere rolled from the case, and Horus sensed the same powerful call he had felt at the king's tomb.
• Horus reached for the sphere and warned Kang De that the embassy was its target, then cried out in pain.

Horus was taken over by the Comora artifact spirit, forcing Kang De to pursue the weaponized Humvee out of Moyani while trying to save his creation. The chase ended at the western airport, where the possessed Horus turned his weapons on Kang De and agreed to talk.

• Horus touched the golden sphere and the artifact spirit seized control of him, causing him to attack Kang De and flee in the Humvee.
• Kang De pursued Horus with his alchemical mechanisms, dodging gunfire and explosives while warning the king and the city’s residents to take shelter.
• The French ambassador saw evidence linking the golden sphere to the Humvee and ordered a high-security report to headquarters.
• Kang De followed Horus out of Moyani and tried to persuade the artifact spirit to stop, while sensing that Horus was still resisting and had not transformed.
• At dawn, Kang De recognized the western airport as the place where the artifact spirit had previously planned to hide.
• Horus reached the airport, turned the Humvee’s weapons and the nearby defenses toward Kang De, and said they could talk.

Kang De negotiated with the artifact spirit, which demanded to be taken to Gambia to reclaim its body, Tacitus. When the spirit tried to seize control through Horus, Kang De turned the trap around and used Extraction to destroy Tacitus and absorb its power, leaving the spirit to disintegrate.

• Kang De taunted the artifact spirit and threatened to make its existence unbearable until it agreed to take him to Gambia.
• The artifact spirit explained that Tacitus held its body and that it needed Kang De to enter the kings' tomb with it.
• Kang De agreed to cooperate but demanded that Horus regain some autonomy and speak to him.
• The artifact spirit made Horus pretend to comply, then used contact with Kang De to send spiritual tendrils into his mind.
• Kang De resisted the attack and used Extraction on the golden sphere, breaking down Tacitus and absorbing its power.
• The artifact spirit realized that its soul was disintegrating and recognized Kang De as a Fire Thief before it perished.

After defeating the artifact spirit, Kang De absorbed Tacitus’s vast information and shared it with Horus and the White Mist World. He gained the ability to manipulate time and space there, but wondered how he could use it when living enemies could not enter.

• The artifact spirit died, freeing the French mercenaries and the people it had controlled across Comora.
• Kang De extracted Tacitus and struggled to contain the alien information flooding his mind.
• Horus asked Kang De for Tacitus, and Kang De infused its power into him before taking him to the White Mist World.
• The White Mist World transformed, and Kang De gained the ability to slow time, move instantly, and alter space within it.
• Kang De realized he could not bring living enemies into the White Mist World and joked that he might only be able to use his new powers against Horus.

Kang De and Horus defeated the artifact spirit’s plan, and Kang De reclaimed the western airport from Little Bob’s mercenaries while preparing to face the approaching French task force. Horus sensed something in the sky that he wanted to eat, just as steel aircraft carrying cluster bombs began diving toward the airport.

• Horus recovered after absorbing the golden sphere’s knowledge, and Kang De learned that he could control alchemical puppets and process ammunition more efficiently.
• Kang De returned to Earth, used the Centurion War Armor to kill the mercenaries at the airport, and told Chakat II that the dangerous artifact was still in his possession.

• Kang De said he would pretend to be dead for up to two days to pressure France, then revealed he planned to go find his wife in the 2D world.

Kang De and Horus escaped an impending French air strike by entering the White Mist World, where Kang De discovered the western airport had become accessible. They timed a refresh to copy the incoming fighters, then captured the empty aircraft and preserved them in the White Mist World.

• Horus detected a swarm of approaching aircraft, and Kang De teleported with him into the White Mist World as the French strike neared the warehouse.
• Kang De realized that controlling the western airport had unlocked the airport in the White Mist World, and he and Horus planned to exploit its time-linked refreshes.
• Kang De returned to the real world, saw the aircraft formation, and told Kang Jinzhu he intended to continue his work; his father accepted his choice and let him go.
• After waiting for the bombing, Kang De and Horus refreshed the White Mist World until the airport and its supplies were shown as ruins alongside the incoming aircraft.
• Kang De slowed time and redirected the empty fighters away from the mist wall while Horus shut down and landed the aircraft, absorbing the final fighter.

As Danfeng Lucerne neared defeat, Tina confessed that she had hidden the elves’ attack from Kang De to keep him out of the war, and the Grand Duke of Goth forgave her. Kang De arrived with A Xing and launched an aerial intervention, leaving Goth’s defenders with a chance to fight back.

• Xierfankai Le committed Twilight Moon’s air forces and refined their tactics, allowing the elves to break through Danfeng Lucerne’s defenses and seize sections of its walls.
• The Grand Duke of Goth told Tina he knew she had withheld the warning from Kang De, forgave her, and called on the Goths to fight to the last moment.
• Explosions tore through the elven reserves outside the city, and Xierfankai Le recognized Kang De’s long-range attack and ordered his forces to find him.
• The Grand Duke of Goth and the Sword Saint Cascading Snow covered A Xing as she reached the wall and gave Tina a communicator and an object from Kang De.
• Kang De’s aircraft emerged from a portal over Danfeng Lucerne, and he announced that he had arrived to provide air support and fight for Tina.

Kang De arrived over Danfeng Lucerne and used Horus’s fighter form to wrest control of the skies from the elven forces. As Goth’s people rallied around the hope he brought, the city prepared to counterattack.

• Kang De rejected Reknos-Teldrassil’s advice to flee and promised to retake the skies over Danfeng Lucerne, while Cascading Snow urged the grand duke to act.
• Kang De and Horus attacked the elven aerial formations, using supersonic passes and sonic booms to send hippogriff and pegasus riders crashing to the ground.
• Kang De praised Horus as they swept through the sky, and Goth’s soldiers and civilians watched the fighter drive back the elves and flee with their mages.
• Reknos-Teldrassil ordered Goth’s forces to regroup, prepare a counterattack, and spread the news that Kang De had arrived to bring them hope.
