As the Spacetime Turbulence around Blue Star neared collapse, Season Star and Apex Guild prepared to defend Magic City Stronghold while Qin Chuan remained sealed away in the divine hall. The Night Lady and three Abyssal Demon Gods promised to protect Magic City, but the rest of Blue Star would have to face the invasion without them.

• The Lord of the Bone Abyss fired a powerful beam of death at the Magic City Stronghold, but the Lord of Lava intercepted it with a Lava Torrent.
• Season Star explained that the Lord of Lava and the Lord of Torture were guarding the stronghold and watching for other gods, so the mortals would have to fight the undead themselves.

• The Night Lady’s presence eased the pressure on the stronghold, but Season Star remained fearful for the guild leader facing the Lord of Destruction and Nether Monarch Astaroth.

The Night Lady joined Dies Martin, the Lord of Lava, and the Lord of Torture, forcing the Lord of the Bone Abyss to retreat from the Magic City Stronghold. The gods then focused on the larger crisis over the sea, where more than ten enemies had gathered around Shadow as he transformed, and struggled to find a way to protect him without disrupting his fragile state.

• The four gods agreed to break the deadlock and protect Qin Chuan’s transformation, even if it meant going to war with the gods across the sea.

The Night Lady and the other gods devised a plan to protect Qin Chuan’s law metamorphosis by distracting the forces gathering at sea and buying him time. As they began carrying it out, Season Star and the others prepared to defend Magic City Stronghold.

• Dies Martin warned that the arriving God of Light System would attack without waiting, while the Lord of Lava urged the gods to strike their enemies first.
• The Night Lady explained that a direct battle could damage Qin Chuan during his metamorphosis, so the gods agreed to clear obstacles and delay their enemies instead.

• The four gods began executing their plan, while Season Star and the others resolved to guard Magic City Stronghold until Qin Chuan returned.

The four gods coordinated their interference to distract the gods watching Qin Chuan, while the Lords of Lava and Torture threatened to unleash devastating attacks.

In the Magic City Stronghold command center, Dies Martin proposed using Night Cherry Tangle and the Shadow Sword to ambush a god and throw the Sea Battlefield into chaos. Night Cherry Tangle accepted the near-suicidal mission, and Dies Martin sent him the operation plan.

• Dies Martin spoke through Bruno and warned Night Cherry Tangle that the gods would soon see through their disruption, proposing a surprise attack as a detonator.
• Tiga Lingyu, Season Star, and Odis warned Night Cherry Tangle that the attack could kill him, but Dies Martin argued it might turn the gods against one another.
