Chapter Summaries

Qin Chuan summoned the guild members to the Magic City Stronghold and used a pitch-black warhammer to forge new Mid-Rank Divine Artifacts from rare materials and their old weapons. He left Dawn, Sword Master in the Snow, Water God, and Evergreen with weapons suited to their Divine Authorities.

• Qin Chuan summoned Dawn, Sword Master in the Snow, Water God, and Evergreen to the top floor of the Magic City Stronghold.

• Qin Chuan created the Book of Life and Death for Evergreen, giving his Holy Light and Death powers a way to coexist.

Qin Chuan used the warhammer to upgrade Season Star’s mecha cores and Night Cherry Tangle’s sword into mid-rank Divine Artifacts. After seeing their new powers, he said he would upgrade defensive equipment next and then call back the others who were training.

• Season Star and Night Cherry Tangle arrived as Qin Chuan finished upgrading the others’ weapons, and Qin Chuan asked Season Star for the core modules of her Destroyer and Annihilator mecha.
• Qin Chuan transformed the two core modules into the Heavenly Punishment Armament Core, granting the mecha powerful enhancements, a mechanical domain, and a combined Heavenly Punishment Form.

• Night Cherry Tangle tested the new sword, while Qin Chuan said he would upgrade the group’s defensive gear before calling back the others who were training.

Qin Chuan forged five Mid-Rank Divine Artifact Abyss Barrier sets from the Chaos nebula, revealing powerful shared defensive effects. He then used the remaining material to create more than a dozen additional sets in three styles for the group to choose from.

• Qin Chuan shaped five matching Abyss Barrier armor sets from the Chaos nebula.
• Water God and the others examined the armor and discovered the set effects that shielded wearers and distributed damage among them.
• Season Star recognized how the set would let the whole group fight more aggressively, while Sword Master in the Snow and Dawn reacted with excitement.
• Qin Chuan said enough material remained for another dozen or so sets, then forged more than a dozen sets in light armor, heavy armor, and robe styles.

Qin Chuan equipped Dawn, Sword Master in the Snow, Water God, Evergreen, Season Star, and Night Cherry Tangle with Abyssal Barrier armor and sent them to kill Helios. They defeated him, but an immense face formed from his Divine Might and condemned the Shadow Remnant.

• Qin Chuan gave the five arriving fighters Abyssal Barrier armor and ordered them to test it against Helios, the Patrol God Envoy.
• Qin Chuan sent Senior Brother En-En to help Tiga Lingyu while the six armored fighters traveled through Night Cherry Tangle’s shadow rift to the Void.
• Helios attacked Season Star with Light of Judgment, but the Abyssal Barrier armor shared the damage among all six wearers.
• Dawn, Sword Master in the Snow, Evergreen, and Water God combined their powers to suppress Helios, and Night Cherry Tangle killed him with Endless Judgment.
• Helios’s dispersing Divine Might gathered into the face of a more powerful being, which accused the Shadow Remnant of crossing the line.

A higher-dimensional God of Light attacked the six fighters, but Qin Chuan’s [Myriad Creation] awakened a power in their [Abyssal Barrier] armor that devoured Purifying Light. As the God of Light prepared to strike Water God, the six activated Abyssal Link and shared the attack through their connected armor.

• The God of Light suppressed the six fighters and flooded the Void with Purifying Light, which corroded their armor and tormented their souls through its shared damage link.
• Qin Chuan tapped the air with the [Myriad Creation] warhammer, causing a power of nothingness to surge through the armor and consume the Purifying Light.
• Qin Chuan ordered the six to attack the God of Light’s projection, but their attacks vanished before reaching it.
• The God of Light condensed the remaining Purifying Light into a Judgment Spear and aimed it at Water God.
• Season Star told the others to activate their links, and the six connected their armor into a network under Evergreen’s call of “Abyssal Link!”
• The Judgment Spear struck Water God’s breastplate, and all six suits of [Abyssal Barrier] armor devoured and converted its energy.

Water God and the other five used the Abyss Barrier Set to absorb the God of Light's attacks, then fused their powers and released a black Abyssal Spear at the enormous face of light. The spear struck its target, leaving the result unknown.

• Water God's armor absorbed the Judgment Spear's power and transformed it into stored energy.
• The face of light unleashed a vast sea of radiance to purify the entire battlefield, pushing the six fighters' armor toward its limits.
• Qin Chuan told the six to unite their minds and release the absorbed energy through their strongest attacks.
• Season Star, Sword Master in the Snow, Night Cherry Tangle, Dawn, Evergreen, and Water God combined their abilities through the Abyss Barrier Set.
• The six created a black Abyssal Spear and sent it into the face of light.

The six fighters pierced the God of Light’s holy façade and revealed a monstrous mass of Chaos flesh, which contaminated their Divinity and absorbed their attacks. As the creature prepared to strike again, Qin Chuan ordered the group to retreat.

• The six fighters’ black spear shattered the enormous face of light, exposing a writhing mass of Chaos flesh.
• Season Star warned that the creature’s contamination was eroding the fighters’ minds and distorting the laws of space.
• The creature branded all six fighters with Divinity Corruption runes, weakening them and severing their Abyssal Link.
• Water God’s tide and Sword Master in the Snow’s saber failed to harm the creature, while Evergreen’s Holy Light purification spell made it stronger.
• Qin Chuan told the six fighters to fall back because they could not handle the creature.

Qin Chuan arrived and erased the mass of chaotic flesh with his Divine Artifacts, rescuing the Water God and the others. He removed the corruption mark from the Water God and warned that it had acted as a beacon for the Radiant Divine Kingdom.

• Qin Chuan tore open a Space Rift and appeared before the mass of chaotic flesh as the Water God and the others cleared the battlefield.
• Qin Chuan used Concept Negation to erase the monster’s Corrupting Curse before it could reach him.

• Qin Chuan delivered a final slash that erased the monster and its last message completely from the spacetime.
• Qin Chuan removed the corruption rune from the Water God's breastplate and told the group that it had served as a beacon for the Radiant Divine Kingdom.

Qin Chuan faced the Radiant Divine Kingdom Cluster as it arrived, revealing a vast horde of corrupted gods. He stopped its assault with his Shadow Domain, but the Supreme Divine Hall split open to reveal a monstrous maw.

• Qin Chuan warned the others that the Radiant Divine Kingdom Cluster had already arrived, and the group saw its corrupted temples and thousands of tainted Divinity signatures.
• Qin Chuan opened his Shadow Domain, which swallowed the Divine Kingdom's light and halted its advance.
• Qin Chuan brought the six others inside the domain, where the purple tracking runes vanished and their weakness lifted.
• The Radiant Divine Kingdom attacked with thousands of Judgment Beams, but the Shadow Domain consumed them and continued expanding.
• A childlike giggle came from the Divine Kingdom, and the Supreme Divine Hall cracked open to reveal a gigantic, tooth-lined maw.

Qin Chuan’s Shadow Domain reversed the Divine Kingdom’s devouring force and began consuming the corrupted realm. As the corrupted God of Light appeared, it attacked the Shadow Domain with Conceptual Light that began rewriting it into a Light Realm.

• The Divine Kingdom’s enormous mouth tried to devour the void, but Qin Chuan expanded his Shadow Domain and swallowed its attacks and the hall’s remains.

• The God of Light called for the Shadow Domain to be purified and sent Conceptual Light into it.
• The Conceptual Light turned part of the Shadow Domain white and began transforming it into a Light Realm.

Qin Chuan used Concept Negation to hold the God of Light’s Divine Authority at bay as the God summoned a vast horde to attack the others. The six fought to defend the Shadow Domain, but the God then turned their own shadows against them.

• Qin Chuan used Concept Negation to erase the God of Light’s Conceptual Light, and the two Divine Authorities reached a stalemate.
• The God of Light commanded the corrupted temples to unleash millions of monsters against the seven people in the Shadow Domain.
• Season Star organized the defense while Water God, Sword Master in the Snow, Evergreen, Night Cherry Tangle, and Dawn attacked the horde.
• The six held off the monsters, but the creatures devoured their fallen and grew stronger, turning the fight into a battle of attrition.
• The God of Light raised his rotting hand and made black chains shoot from the shadows beneath Water God and the others.

The six fighters were trapped by shadow chains and forced to battle copies that mimicked their skills and carried corrupting attacks. Mirror arrived and trapped the Shadow Persons in illusions, giving the group a chance to destroy them, then explained that she had sensed Dawn was in danger.

• The God of Light used Qin Chuan's Shadow Domain to bind the six fighters with chains that rose from their shadows.
• The chains created Shadow Persons that copied the fighters' appearances, weapons, skills, and fighting habits, and the copies began overwhelming them.
• Dawn's shadow briefly hesitated when a voice called him “Brother,” and the other shadows began attacking illusions.
• Season Star urged the fighters to strike, and they destroyed the distracted Shadow Persons, which dissolved into smoke and returned to the ground.
• Dawn found his younger sister Mirror at the edge of the battlefield, and she said she had come because she sensed he was in danger.

The God of Light summoned three corrupted True Gods, forcing the seven defenders into a desperate battle. As Sword Master in the Snow charged Torgan, Mirror created an endless mirror labyrinth to separate the enemy gods from the group.

• The God of Light summoned Mirian, Torgan, and Aelia from temples in the Divine Kingdom Cluster.
• Mirian attacked the group with a plague torrent, which Mirror redirected with Mirror Flower Water Moon.

• Season Star identified the corrupted gods' twisted powers, but Torgan's protection suppressed her missiles.
• Sword Master in the Snow charged Torgan while Mirror formed a labyrinth of mirrors around the three corrupted gods.

The seven allies fought the three corrupted gods as Torgan shattered Mirror’s maze and Mirian spread her plague domain. Dawn exploited Mirror’s lens distortions to ambush Aelia, but her sorrowful power surged through his blade and left him writhing in agony.

• Mirror created a maze that let the Water God and Night Cherry Tangle target Mirian, but Torgan shattered it with his barrier authority and both attacks missed.
• The Sword Master in the Snow struck Torgan’s Giant Shield and was thrown back, while its reflected mental attack briefly clouded his mind before Evergreen dispelled it.
• Mirian spread her Plague Domain, corroding energy shields, as Aelia’s song disrupted the allies’ focus.
• Mirror scattered tiny spatial lenses through the mist, distorting the gods’ perceptions and creating an opening for Dawn.
• Dawn slipped behind Aelia and stabbed her with the Formless Blade, but Aelia’s Rose-Gold Chain shattered and her sorrow and hatred surged into Dawn, sending him into agony.

Dawn killed Aelia, unleashing a curse of grief that left the team vulnerable to Torgan’s defenses and Mirian’s plague. Mirror helped them resist the curse, and Season Star ordered them to attack, but their first efforts met with the enemies’ powers.

• Dawn’s attack killed Aelia and unleashed her Divine Authority, filling the battlefield with visions of regret and grief.
• Torgan advanced while Mirian’s plague mist slipped through the team’s weakened energy shields and began corroding their bodies and equipment.
• Mirror created a mental safe zone, and Season Star urged the team to focus on their physical enemies and fight back.

• Evergreen countered Mirian’s plague with life energy, creating a temporary stalemate between the gray mist and white light.
• Season Star told Night Cherry Tangle to mark Torgan’s shield with his “Sin” character.

Night Cherry Tangle cracked Torgan’s Bastion Divine Shield, but Torgan wounded him as Mirian unleashed a plague waterfall. Dawn used Mirror’s illusion to make Mirian believe Night Cherry Tangle was attacking Torgan, then struck the silver cup that powered her plague, releasing purifying Holy Light.

• Night Cherry Tangle branded Torgan’s Bastion Divine Shield with guilt and cracked it with a strike, damaging Torgan’s Divine Soul as well.
• Torgan shifted his protection Divine Authority to his body and grievously wounded Night Cherry Tangle, while Mirian summoned a silver plague waterfall over the battlefield.
• Dawn asked Mirror to create an illusion of him on Night Cherry Tangle, and Mirror dropped her mental shield to cast it, leaving the others helpless against the curse.
• Mirian stopped the plague waterfall and tried to heal Torgan when the illusion showed an assassin attacking him, giving Dawn the opening he needed.
• Dawn stabbed Mirian’s silver cup with the Formless Blade, and warm Holy Light burst from it, driving away the plague and resentment.

Dawn unleashed Mirian’s healing power, cleansing the battlefield and leaving the corrupted goddess powerless while Torgan was badly wounded. As the fighters pressed their advantage, Torgan invoked Final Ruin and began forming a black singularity, prompting Season Star to warn everyone to retreat.

• Dawn’s strike released Mirian’s pure healing power, erasing the plague and restoring the fighters while searing Torgan.
• Season Star ordered the team to exploit Mirian’s defeat and attack Torgan as the mechs combined into Heavenly Punishment Form.
• The Water God trapped Torgan in a swamp, Evergreen bound and drained him, and Night Cherry Tangle and Sword Master in the Snow struck his shield and wound.
• Torgan invoked Final Ruin and plunged his hand into his heart, causing his shield and body to collapse into a forming black singularity.
• Season Star warned everyone to fall back as the fully charged Nirvana Beam Cannon fired at the singularity.

The seven fighters struggled against the singularity Torgan created, which devoured their attacks and threatened to pull them all in. Mirian sacrificed her remaining Divine Soul to cancel it out, ending the battle with all three corrupted gods dead.

• Torgan's singularity swallowed the Annihilation Beam and intensified its pull, overwhelming the Water God, Evergreen, Sword Master in the Snow, Night Cherry Tangle, Season Star, Mirror, and Dawn.
• Night Cherry Tangle used Divine Might: Severance of Sin Karma to interrupt the gravitational pull briefly, freeing Sword Master in the Snow but sending himself toward the singularity.
• Mirian stepped between Night Cherry Tangle and the singularity, then embraced it and released a shock wave that pushed the fighters to safety.
• Mirian's Origin of Life and Healing canceled the singularity's Ultimate of Protection and Despair, and both the singularity and her Divine Soul vanished.
• The survivors regrouped in the void as the Water God asked whether the battle was over, while Dawn steadied Mirror and Sword Master in the Snow comforted Night Cherry Tangle.

After Mirian's sacrifice purified the Holy Silver Chalice, it chose Dawn and granted him Sacred Purification. As the group examined the other divine remnants, Qin Chuan's battle with the God of Light intensified, leaving him facing the transformed deity with two daggers.

• The Holy Silver Chalice appeared purified, then merged into Dawn and granted him the Sacred Purification skill.
• Season Star recovered fragments of Torgan's Barrier Godstone and stored them as materials for defensive equipment.
• The group found Aelia's cursed Divine Artifact, whose sobbing affected Dawn especially strongly.
• The Shadow Domain shook as the God of Light transformed into a giant of pure light and began crushing Qin Chuan's domain.
• Qin Chuan revealed the dagger Moment of Utmost Darkness and advanced toward the God of Light while wielding both daggers.

Qin Chuan used the [Moment of Utmost Darkness] alongside the [Night of No Light] to evade the fused giant’s conceptual light and pierce its core, erasing part of its body. The giant sacrificed its decay divinity to become a perfect sun that erased the shadows, and Qin Chuan began to answer with the [Night of No Light].

• Qin Chuan summoned the [Moment of Utmost Darkness], whose space-time power let him teleport through the giant’s Absolute Light domain.
• Qin Chuan used Space-Time Severance to reach the giant’s chest and stabbed its core with the [Night of No Light], erasing a huge section of its body.

• As the sun suppressed the [Night of No Light], Qin Chuan smiled and watched a tiny black vortex begin spinning on its blade.
