Adam rejected the proposal and offered George a chance to surrender, but the negotiations ended in a simultaneous attack on George.

• George asked Grisha why the Eternal Blazing Sun had agreed to stop Roselle instead of continuing to fight him, and Grisha said he had promised not to retaliate until after the apocalypse.
• George proposed that Adam, Amon, the Eternal Blazing Sun, and the God of Steam and Machinery hand over their Uniquenesses and Beyonder characteristics so he could defeat the Outer Gods.

• George remained calm as Amon and Grisha unleashed attacks against him and replied, "Just this?"

George defeated Amon and Grisha, took Amon’s Error characteristics, and destroyed the Celestial Worthy’s consciousness while pretending to struggle against it. As Roselle returned as the Black Emperor, several gods moved to claim the abandoned characteristics, and the Goddess of the Night defended them before the God of War attacked her.

• Finral opened a spatial gate and took George and Yami to the royal capital's examination arena.

• Magical fireworks signaled the examination's start, and George rejoined Yami and Finral to head to the Black Bulls' seats.

• William used World Tree Magic to create Magic Brooms and explained the examination’s six tests, while Finral told George that standards differed for nobles and commoners.

• George used copied spatial magic to take Secré to Haji Village and removed the seal from Lumiere Silbermillion Kuroba’s statue.

• Siss struck Asta with an ice flower, while George used psychological interference to build Noelle's confidence and help her gather powerful water spells.

George helped defeat and revive the attackers at Soxi Village, then learned they belonged to the Eye of the Midnight Sun and suspected their Magic Stone hunt was meant to free the Word Devil. Back at the Black Bulls, he introduced Dragon Power as a new method to strengthen everyone, ending as he prepared to explain it further.

• Noelle protected the villagers with Sea Dragon's Lair while Asta, guided through George's Door Pathway, knocked Siss and his three subordinates down, and Magna bound them.
