Chapter Summaries

Allen revealed that the Organization’s homeland had destroyed an ancient country on the island and turned its people into experimental subjects, then announced a War of Vengeance against that country. The expedition began taking shape as Allen assigned the Claymores to fight its modified warriors.

• Ine Lily arrived at the Lord’s Manor with silver-eyed Claymores as Allen prepared to announce his plans.
• Ine Lily explained that the Organization came from another continent and had created Yoma, Awakened Beings, and Claymores to serve a foreign country’s war.
• Allen revealed that the foreign country had destroyed an ancient island nation, and his illusion of the massacre drove the assembled officials to demand revenge.
• Allen ordered six army corps formed for the War of Vengeance, while merchants pledged support in exchange for exclusive rights to buy spoils of war.
• Artoria left for Space City, and Aria took over the Holy Light Church and agreed to send priests and Paladins to aid the expedition without participating in civilian massacres.
• Allen assigned the Claymores to Ine Lily’s First Army Corps to fight the continent’s thousands of modified warriors.

Allen led a massive expeditionary fleet from the newly united Western and Southern Lands to invade the continent, intending to reshape its history through the island's people rather than using his own power. The fleet reached a port city and opened its attack with cannon fire, devastating the defenders before the landing began.

• Allen's fleet departed after months of preparations, while he explained to Teresa his plan to weaken the continent's two rival nations and provoke their internal divisions.
• Allen told Teresa he intended Laki to succeed him, with Clare presented as his daughter and married to Laki to secure the loyalty of his forces.
• Teresa destroyed a giant sea creature that attacked their ship as the fleet crossed the ocean.
• Near the continent, the Second and Third Legions split off to target other ports while Ine Lily led the First Legion toward a port city Teresa had visited.
• The city's general mistook Allen's fleet for the enemy and sent modified male Claymores to defend the docks.
• Allen's warships fired cannon volleys from beyond the defenders' range, destroying their weapons and slaughtering the warriors at the harbor.

Allen’s fleet destroyed a border fortress city and began a campaign to destabilize the country behind the Organization by stripping villages of food and driving civilians toward unrest. Teresa left alone for the northwest to hunt the Dragon’s Descendants after Allen ordered their extermination, and she headed toward their mountain refuge.

• Allen ordered seven warships to bombard the fortress city for half an hour, leaving it in ruins and killing its commanding general.
• Iene Lily led the landing, and the Silver-Eyed Slayers killed the awakened male survivors while the soldiers searched for prisoners and supplies.
• Allen studied a map and planned to raid nearby settlements, burn crops and homes, and leave starving civilians with weapons to provoke rebellion.
• Teresa asked to travel alone to find the Dragon’s Descendants, and Allen agreed on the condition that she kill them all.
• Teresa set out for the snow-covered mountains in the northwest, where the Dragon’s Descendants had lived for generations.

Allen used the expeditionary army’s invasion to turn tens of thousands of displaced civilians against their rulers and set off waves of looting and violence across the continent. As Galadria watched the chaos spread, Allen credited his success to understanding how easily people could be influenced.

• The expeditionary army destroyed settlements near the fortress city, seized their food and valuables, and drove the civilians to the ruins.
• Allen rejected a merchant’s proposal to sell the prisoners as slaves and told the crowd that their rulers were responsible for the retaliatory war.
• Allen gave the prisoners ten days of rations, weapons, and armor, then urged them to take food from undefended villages and the estates of the ruling class.
• The prisoners split into rival groups that robbed one another before growing into armed bands and attacking settlements beyond the initial area.
• Galadria remarked that Allen’s words had thrown the country into chaos, and Allen said learning helped him understand the world and influence others.

Allen explained to Galadria that the uprising and ensuing atrocities served his plan to break the nation behind the Organization into smaller, divided states. As rebellions and invasions spread, the Emperor learned that an unknown fleet with powerful weapons was attacking the coastline and questioned whether another continent existed.

• Three rebel groups captured a major city, seized control of its modified warriors, and unleashed a massacre and widespread abuse.
• Galadria condemned the violence, but Allen explained that he intended to exploit internal divisions to dismantle the nation behind the Organization.
• Allen assigned Galadria to monitor the rebels and keep them from being crushed before they caused enough destruction.
• Slave uprisings and rebellions spread across the provinces as the nation’s old enemy advanced along the front lines.
• The Emperor questioned his assembled governors and generals about the rebellions, and an intelligence official reported attacks by a mysterious fleet armed with powerful black metal weapons.

The Emperor and his court realized that a mysterious fleet tied to the lost Organization was exploiting rebellion and food shortages to threaten their nation. Allen entered the Royal Court Meeting Room after Lemoto’s head was discovered, and the chapter ended as Allen effortlessly stopped and broke a general’s sword.

• The Emperor’s court linked the fleet’s attacks and the rebellion to the Organization and debated how to defend the capital while facing dwindling food reserves.
• An Imperial Guard reported that a bloody head had been hung from the Royal Plaza flagpole, and the palace guards failed to find whoever had placed it there.
• The court identified the head as Lemoto, the former head of the Dragon’s Descendants research institution, and discussed the dangerous modifications that could prolong a person’s life.
• Allen dropped through the ceiling, confirmed that the Organization had been destroyed, and calmly poured himself tea while the court fell into panic.
• A general attacked Allen, but an invisible force stopped the sword and broke it, sending a blade fragment toward the general’s neck.

Allen declared war on the Empire’s rulers and left them scrambling to investigate him and protect the Emperor. Meanwhile, Ine Lily’s First Expeditionary Army Corps used Cannons and Firearms to annihilate a much larger enemy force, leaving the war’s battlefield dominance unmistakable.

• Allen killed a general who attacked him, then told the Emperor and Royal Court that he commanded the fleet assaulting the Empire and had destroyed its shipbuilding capabilities and contact with the organization.
• Allen revealed that Lulu had been an Empire spy, delivered his declaration of war to the Emperor, and vanished through a portal.
• The Emperor ordered his intelligence chief to investigate Allen within a month and approved a round-the-clock guard of loyal female modified warriors.
• Allen returned to the plains, where Ine Lily’s First Expeditionary Army Corps faced an Imperial army sent to suppress the rebellion in the fallen provinces.
• Ine Lily ordered the Cannons and Musketeers to fire, and their barrage killed more than eighteen thousand enemy cavalry and infantry at the cost of a few weapon failures and casualties.

Allen and Ine Lily’s forces routed the invading army after its modified warriors turned on their own soldiers, while Allen anticipated that the enemy’s ruling elite would respond to defeat by creating more Awakened Beings. The chapter left the expeditionary force confident it could dismantle the enemy’s control, though the Knight Order worried that the continent’s other nation might seize the opportunity to expand.

• The general ordered his adjutant to flee toward the capital with news of the enemy’s firearms and artillery, while he stayed behind to lead the army.
• The general sent male warriors forward as cannon fodder, and Ine Lily ordered the Claymore Warriors and Knight Order members to attack before the warriors could awaken.
• Ine Lily and the Claymore Warriors killed enemy warriors, prompting the remaining males to awaken and attack their own infantry.
• The panicked army broke into a rout and an internal fight as deserters turned on their officers and the general.
• Allen explained that defeat would drive the Emperor to create more modified warriors and Awakened Beings, while a Knight Order member recognized that the enemy could be dismantled but feared the rival nation might take its territory.

Allen defeated an army sent to suppress the rebellion, executed its general, and sent Ine Lily to carry out the next stage of the occupation plan. He then found Teresa fighting a colossal dragon-like being that claimed to have created the Dragon's Descendants, and suspected he had uncovered the world's hidden history.

• Allen challenged the captured general's belief that ordinary soldiers owed their lives to their commanders, then killed him with Ninth Tier Magic, Heart Mastery.
• Allen told Ine Lily to absorb the rioters and restore order or drive them inland, and said he would warn the other expanding country himself.
• Allen arrived at the Dragon's Descendants' settlement, where Teresa had killed its inhabitants, and began collecting their heads to display as a warning.
• Allen heard a commotion and rushed to find Teresa battling a colossal dragon-like creature that regenerated from her attacks.
• The creature revealed that it had created the Dragon's Descendants as test subjects to reshape the world and restore the Dragon Race civilization, while Allen watched and concluded he had found the world's secret.

Allen uncovered the history of the Great Dragons and the origins of humanity, magic, and Yoki, then revealed that Kalikardos was the last source of the world's residual magic. Teresa killed Kalikardos, ending the old era's lingering threat and beginning a human age shaped by technology.

• Allen read Kalikardos's memories and learned that humans had been created by the Great Dragons and later destroyed the world's magical core during their war.
• Allen revealed Kalikardos's name and explained that it had created the Mother Body to produce Dragon's Descendants and revive dragon civilization.
• Allen summoned Verena, whose presence overwhelmed Kalikardos, then sent her back to Sky City.
• Allen warned Teresa that Kalikardos's death would gradually strip Claymores and Awakened Beings of their powers, though their lifespans would remain longer thanks to Life Energy.
• Teresa chose to kill Kalikardos, and her attacks reduced it to dust despite its powerful healing.
• Kalikardos's death sent a tremor across the world, and Allen told Teresa that humanity's new era had begun.

After Allen’s threat destroyed the Dragon’s Descendants, one nation retreated while the Emperor behind the Organization plunged his capital into horror, and Laki’s expeditionary force conquered most of the mainland. Clare left Sky City after refusing Teresa’s invitation to stay, and Allen told Teresa they would leave the world once the war ended.

• The nation that had relied on the Dragon’s Descendants stopped its military operations and withdrew after receiving Allen’s threatening letter and learning its Dragon’s Descendants had died.
• The middle-aged Emperor ordered mass conscription and the creation of modified warriors, while Awakened Beings terrorized the capital and massacred fleeing civilians.
• Laki led an expanding expeditionary force toward Sack Port to resupply, as the army advanced on the capital and prepared to conquer the nation behind the Organization.
• Clare refused Teresa’s offer to remain in Sky City, and Teresa opened a portal so Clare could return to her friends and ordinary life.
• Allen told Teresa that he would announce Laki as his successor after the war and that they would leave the Azerath Universe in one or two months.

Allen gave Laki command of the campaign against the capital as a final test, while the expeditionary army besieged the city and advanced on the palace. The Emperor realized his forces were nearly defeated and that Allen intended to erase the ruling class completely.

• Allen explained that the capital's Awakened Beings planned to use its terrain for street fighting, then challenged Laki to lead the final campaign without help.
• Laki accepted the command, and Allen warned him to treat Clare well because Teresa might retaliate if he hurt her.
• After more than a month, the expeditionary army surrounded the capital and bombarded its walls, while Claymores repelled the Awakened Beings' night attacks.
• Laki sent Claymores and knights into the ruined outskirts, opened the city gates, and used artillery on the City Wall to support the advance.
• Laki recruited local survivors as guides and cleared threats on the route to the palace over three days.
• The Emperor learned that fewer than two thousand ordinary soldiers and fifteen hundred modified warriors remained, while his general confirmed that negotiations had failed and the enemy was killing the nation's ruling class.

Laki and the Expeditionary Army finished conquering the Emperor’s country, and Laki killed the Emperor after he transformed into a man-eating monster. Allen departed with the Sky City and Teresa, leaving Laki to rule the conquered lands and setting out for another world.

• The Emperor injected black liquid, transformed into an Awakened Being, and killed the elderly general and a close minister before Laki and the Claymore Warriors entered the palace.
• Laki identified himself to the Emperor as the Expeditionary Army’s commander and future ruler, then killed him with the Sword of Desire.
• Allen appeared with the Sky City and a compressed Azerath Universe, and Laki asked why he had not conquered the other country; Allen explained that competition would help his new realm progress.
• Allen entrusted the conquered lands to Laki, reclaimed the Sword of Desire, and began taking the Sky City through a space-time rift.
• Clare arrived with flowers and waved to Teresa, who said farewell before joining Allen on his journey to the New World.

Allen and his companions arrived in the Gundam SEED world at CE70, learned about its warring factions, and chose where to intervene. The group split up, with Allen and Teresa reaching Orb’s Heliopolis colony satellite just before the story began.

• Allen’s group identified the system as the Solar System and hacked P.L.A.N.T.’s network to learn about ZAFT, the Earth Alliance, and their war.
• Allen explained the three factions and warned that Orb was favored by fate despite being a small neutral nation.
• Sakura chose ZAFT, and the Guardians forged her an identity as an orphan of Bloody Valentine so she could enlist.
• Artoria chose to visit Earth, while Allen assigned Teresa to accompany him to Orb and told them to behave like ordinary people.
• Allen and Teresa arrived at Heliopolis, where he explained that technology created its Earthlike environment and artificial gravity.

Allen and Teresa explored Heliopolis, where Allen discussed human conflict and Orb’s precarious neutrality with Kira and his friends. He warned that Orb would eventually be drawn into the war, leaving Kira anxious while the others dismissed the danger.

• Allen took Teresa around Heliopolis, bought supplies and a sports car, and discussed the colony’s prosperity and humanity’s endless desires with her.
• Miliaria, Dol, Cagalli, and Kira joined Allen and Teresa at a restaurant, where Allen said he and Teresa were Coordinators seeking refuge from anti-Coordinator violence on Earth.
• Kira asked Allen what he should do as a Coordinator, and Allen told him there was no single correct choice and he had to decide for himself.
• Allen warned Kira that Orb’s neutrality would not last because the nation lacked the strength to deter both the Earth Alliance and ZAFT.
• After Allen and Teresa left, Miliaria and the others dismissed his warning, but Kira remained anxious about the approaching crisis.

Allen used his position at Dawn Company to help develop the Archangel and its five Gundams, then prepared an experimental Gundam controlled by his Mechanical Neural Network. As Earth Alliance personnel arrived to collect the weapons and a ZAFT warship followed, Allen learned that Mwu La Flaga would take charge of the new MS units and offered her the experimental machine despite its severe vulnerability.

• Allen praised the nearly completed Archangel and its five Gundams as Dawn Company's leader explained that the Earth Alliance would soon take delivery of them.
• Allen learned that a sixth Gundam used his Mechanical Neural Network, and he secretly began writing its operating system and parameters so he could potentially keep it for himself.
• Teresa told Allen that Earth Alliance personnel had arrived while a ZAFT warship followed behind them, and Allen decided not to warn Dawn Company's staff.
• Mwu La Flaga arrived to take over the new MS units, and Allen explained that the experimental Gundam could react extremely quickly but would lose control if it was hit.
• Allen told Mwu La Flaga that the experimental machine was not on the delivery list and offered it for real combat testing.

Teresa monitored the approaching ZAFT forces, then left the control room as the invasion of Heliopolis began. Amid the attack on the colony and the battle to seize the Gundams, Allen stayed in the assembly workshop to finish configuring one machine, where Athrun Zala ordered his squad to capture him.

• Teresa watched ZAFT’s covert squad enter Heliopolis, then left work to meet Allen.
• A ZAFT warship ignored Heliopolis’s warnings, launched its Ginns, and routed the colony’s defending MAs.
• ZAFT’s special operations squad bombed the Archangel’s dock and attacked the convoy carrying the new MS units, while civilians fled the damage.
• Allen stayed in the assembly workshop to finish connecting the Gundam’s Mechanical Neural Networks as Mwu La Flaga and her soldiers retreated inside.
• A ZAFT soldier fired at Allen, but he calmly continued working as the bullets ricocheted off the Gundam.
• Athrun Zala ordered his squad to capture Allen so they could learn more about the new machines.

Allen activated his unnamed Gundam and overwhelmed the ZAFT squad with its extraordinary speed and control, while the battle around Heliopolis intensified. Mwu La Flaga and Kira escaped in the Strike, Athrun fled in the Aegis, and Mwu asked Allen to draw the ZAFT machines to coordinates where she could support him with the Hyper Impulse Cannon.

• Allen punched a ZAFT soldier away from the cockpit, activated his completed unit, and broke it free of the workshop framework.
• Allen used the unit’s Mechanical Neural Network to destroy a charging Ginn, stunning Kira with its speed and precision.
• Mwu La Flaga activated the Strike Gundam, and Kira helped her kill the Red Elite who attacked her.
• Athrun recognized Kira, then escaped in the Aegis while Mwu brought Kira into the Strike cockpit.
• Allen destroyed three Ginns as ZAFT forces struggled to hit his unit, and Mwu contacted him to request that he lead the enemies toward her firing coordinates.

Allen lured ZAFT Ginns into Kira’s ambush, but Kira’s cannon blast breached Heliopolis’s outer shell and threatened its atmosphere. The Archangel survived, and Allen agreed to board it with Teresa as the story’s conflict began in earnest.

• Murrue pressured Kira to pilot the Strike and protect his friends and Heliopolis’s civilians, while Allen agreed to lure the Ginns into an ambush.
• Kira’s impulse cannon destroyed two Ginns, and Allen disabled the remaining machines while sparing one pilot’s life.
• Mwu brought Allen replacement power packs and weapons as Mu La Flaga and Rau Le Creuset fought above the colony.
• Kira fired at Mu and Rau, blasting through Heliopolis’s outer shell and causing air and debris to escape into space.
• The Archangel emerged intact from its secret dockyard, and Mwu invited Allen aboard.
• Allen agreed to join the Archangel with Teresa, who appeared from behind the ruins.

After ZAFT’s attack temporarily ended, the survivors aboard the Archangel assessed their losses and recruited Allen as a mercenary. Kira resisted returning to combat, while Teresa expressed interest in piloting Strike as the Archangel prepared to continue its journey toward Earth.

• The damaged ZAFT MS retreated after ZAFT captured four new Orb-developed machines and their data, while Murrue preserved Strike and Nataru restarted the Archangel.
• Allen and Kira emerged from their machines, and Mu recognized them as Coordinators, prompting tense reactions from the Earth Alliance soldiers until Murrue identified Allen as a core researcher.
• Allen agreed to fight for the Archangel in exchange for a generous reward, and Nataru promised the Earth Alliance would pay him.
• Murrue asked Kira to remain on standby as Strike’s pilot, but Kira said he needed time to think, so she sent him and his friends to rest.
• Nataru organized the transport of supplies, while Allen told Teresa they were taking the Archangel to Earth and offered her the chance to try piloting Strike.
