Chapter Summaries

The Lar Empire discovered that Orsaga was an Abyss Demon and feared the destruction he could cause, so it paid him to leave. Orsaga signed a contract and departed with twelve blood-red crystals, leaving the Empire unaware that he had stayed only to bargain for the reward.

• The Lar Empire hired an intelligence faction to investigate Orsaga, whose image triggered an information attack on the colorful goblin researcher.
• The researcher identified Orsaga as an Abyss Demon, and the Lar Empire's intelligence leader reviewed warnings about demons and their ability to summon more of their kind.
• After finishing his poisoning, Orsaga remained in a park until a Lar Empire representative asked him to leave and offered five crystals as compensation.
• Orsaga negotiated for every reserved crystal as well, then signed an Abyss Contract promising never to return to the Lar Empire.
• Orsaga left with twelve crystals and gave the representative his business card, while the Lar Empire's officials wondered if they had overpaid.

Orsaga enjoyed a comfortable retirement on Tar Star while secretly improving public safety, then met with Keliya and Kaila to ask whether they would join him in the Bottomless Abyss. They refused because they could not leave their loved ones behind, and Orsaga gave them potions that could extend their lives and let them communicate across worlds.

• Orsaga lived a leisurely life on Tar Star, where the fall of Layagren had weakened evil and improved public safety.
• Orsaga tormented a human-skin puppet doll and welcomed Keliya and Kaila when they arrived.

After returning to Kalasya, Orsaga was invited to join a guild expedition to a populous world and learned that its organizers planned to recruit five powerful Upper Demons. He accepted the invitation token, then remembered his tradition of celebrating a return by killing passersby and began doing so.

• Orsaga returned to Kalasya and met a Kololoya Merchant Guild member recruiting Upper Demons for an expedition to another world.
• The guild member described a world of roughly fifty billion people, with magical cultivators and a power ceiling near that of an Upper Demon.

Orsaga met Golanel, learned that Allison had been injured by the crossfire of two Great Demons, and agreed to treat her. He found Allison wrapped in bandages and remarked that her face appeared disfigured, leaving her distressed.

• Orsaga paid a city fine for killing passersby and damaging public buildings, then asked Golanel why Allison was absent.
• Golanel told Orsaga that Allison had been injured when two Great Demons fought near her while she gathered herbs.
• Golanel poked Orsaga until he agreed to heal Allison.
• Orsaga and Golanel entered Allison's ward despite its Defensive Barriers, which Orsaga had created.
• Allison relaxed when she recognized them, complained that they had brought no fruit, and recoiled when Orsaga said she was disfigured.

Orsaga examined Allison’s injuries and found a force preventing them from healing, then used his Pain Authority and life-force nutrient fluid to remove the damaged tissue and rapidly restore her body. Allison studied his precise technique and realized she owed him a great favor, unaware that he considered the treatment’s cost trivial.

• Orsaga laughed at Allison’s discomfort until Golanel urged him to examine her injuries.
• Allison reluctantly uncovered her scarred body, and Orsaga and Golanel embarrassed her by appraising her figure.

• Orsaga used razor-like fingertips to cut away the damaged flesh while suppressing Allison’s pain with his Pain Authority.
• Orsaga injected nutrient fluid made from his own Life Force, rapidly healing Allison’s wounds as she watched his technique.

Orsaga healed Allison and gave her potions to restore her weakened soul, while secretly altering her divine bloodline to prevent her ancestor from using her for resurrection.

• Orsaga restored Allison's body and warned her that her soul still needed several days to recover, giving her potions to take every three days.
• Orsaga secretly strengthened and altered Allison's divine bloodline to block any attempt by her ancestor, the God of Radiance, to resurrect through her.

• Orsaga invited Allison and Golanel to come with him when a merchant guild recruited people for a world invasion, and both agreed.

Orsaga showed Golanel Eternal Pain, a magical cup he had designed mainly for preparing drinks, and she was impressed by its extensive functions. When Golanel suggested selling potions for Soul Crystals, Orsaga explained that the city’s trade was monopolized and that Abyss Demons gained strength through slaughter rather than relying on wealth.

• Orsaga introduced Eternal Pain as a cup that could automatically prepare thousands of drinks and potions, while Golanel remarked that he treated a powerful magical item like a lunchbox.
• Orsaga gave Golanel permission to use Eternal Pain, and she explored its ingredients, recipes, and drink recommendations.
• Golanel sampled several juices, found one she liked, and tried the cup’s function for searching for similar flavors.
• Golanel suggested selling potions to obtain Soul Crystals, but Orsaga explained that powerful factions controlled the city’s established trade channels.
• Orsaga told Golanel that Abyss Demons valued strength above material wealth because their Slaughter Evolution ability let them grow stronger by killing.

Orsaga received a token summoning him to a meeting and prepared Allison and Golanel for travel between worlds by giving them protective demonic blood marks. The three arrived at the Kololoya Merchant Guild and took their seats among the gathered beings, waiting for the meeting to begin.

• Orsaga read the token’s coordinates and told Golanel to inform Allison and get ready for the banquet.
• Orsaga tore off an arm, refined it with Bloodflame, and used his blood to give Allison and Golanel protection against attacks and other worlds’ rules.
• Orsaga, Allison, and Golanel went to the Kololoya Merchant Guild, where a guard recognized the token and led them to the meeting room.
• Orsaga dismissed the guard, entered the meeting room with Allison and Golanel, and sat down while the other attendees watched him.

Orsaga joined the Kololoya Merchant Guild’s contest to choose five Upper Demons for a partnership in conquering a medium-sized plane. He won his first simulated fight with ease and called for the next opponent.

• Ailaoer explained that the Kololoya Merchant Guild sought five Upper Demons to help defeat the plane’s powerful enemies and perform a Demon Summon ritual, offering each a share of the world or equivalent rewards.
• Orsaga asked how the Upper Demons would be reduced to five, and Ailaoer introduced five platforms that created weaker projections for combat.
• The Upper Demons channeled their power into the platforms, and Orsaga entered the first round against a multi-headed snake Demon.
• The snake Demon attacked with toxic rays and mist, but Orsaga burned through its defenses and destroyed its projection with one punch.
• Orsaga remained on the platform as reigning champion and called for his next opponent.

Orsaga defeated another challenger in the arena, then joined the victors as Ailaoer presented Kololoya Merchant Guild specialties and explained the Seven Seas World. Allison reflected on her revived divine bloodline and the possibility that the God of Radiance could use it to resurrect.

• A humanoid Abyss Demon sensed the power gap with Orsaga and withdrew from the arena without fighting.
• A hybrid opponent attacked Orsaga, but Orsaga trapped him in Bloodflame and digested him completely.
• Allison watched Orsaga’s victory and realized his strength had grown beyond what she might be able to challenge; she considered her revived divine bloodline and chose not to act on the God of Radiance’s potential claim to it.
• Five Upper Demons remained after the unsuccessful competitors left, and Ailaoer presented each victor with gifts from the Kololoya Merchant Guild.
• Ailaoer described the customized Soul Crystals made from practitioners of special power systems and dragon products, then began explaining the Seven Seas World.
• Orsaga sampled the dragon meat, blood drink, and Soul Crystals, while Allison and Golanel refused the raw food.

• Orsaga struck the steward aside for treating him like a subordinate, and the steward apologized in fear.

Orsaga began the Demon Summoning Ritual with four other Upper Demons at a Kololoya Merchant Guild sacrifice site, where Allison and Golanel witnessed the mass of corpses used to power it. The ritual opened a giant archway, and millions of lower-ranked Abyss Demons rushed into the world, leaving the sacrificial grounds in chaos.

• Orsaga discovered that someone had been watching the ritual preparations and erased the detection spells before warning the Upper Demons that the enemy's main force might arrive soon.
• Orsaga led Allison and Golanel to the sacrifice grounds, where they saw countless drained corpses, and he told them that plunder and slaughter were fundamental to survival in the Bottomless Abyss.

• The ritual's power made the corpses form a huge archway, which the five demons pulled open with blood-red mist hands.
• Orsaga and the other Upper Demons cast Ailaoer's Abyssal Contracts, and millions of interested demons below Upper Demon strength surged through the partly opened archway, fighting among themselves as they arrived.

Two kingdoms prepared to defend their lands as the three major churches sent fleets to confront the Abyss Demon invasion. The fleets attacked the cloud-shrouded island, while Orsaga and the other Upper Demons watched the Abyss Demons respond with chaotic, ineffective teamwork.

• The Kings of the two remaining countries accepted that they had to hold their lands against the Abyss Demons until outside forces arrived.
• Three fleets emerged through a golden ring, deployed their ships and weapons, and advanced toward the island.
• An Archbishop ordered all three fleets to fire their Magic Cannons at full power and destroy the island in one stroke.
• Orsaga and the other four Upper Demons let the Abyss Demons handle the incoming attack themselves.
• The Abyss Demons launched scattered spells that canceled out much of their own power before the fleet's beams arrived.

Orsaga’s Abyss Demons overwhelmed the three church fleets until Naka’s power opened three gateways and sent Petitioners into battle. Orsaga and the other Upper Demons focused on the hidden figures behind the gateways, whose defeat would decide the fate of the world.

• Orsaga ordered the Abyss Demons to attack the fleets, and the demons charged from land, sea, sky, and through space.

• The Upper Demons led the remaining Demon Army against the Petitioners emerging from the gateways, while Orsaga watched the figures concealed behind them.

• Orsaga charged the golden gateway and engulfed Gord and the surrounding gods in a vortex of Bloodflame.
• Gord summoned a greatsword and a massive golden fireball, and Orsaga recognized him as a Sun God.

Gord faced Orsaga as the Abyss Flame Demon attacked with cursed fire blades, poison, and a tail ambush, but Gord countered and launched a faster-than-light strike. Their clash destroyed Orsaga’s flaming tornado and devastated the island, leaving the battle between the two powerful gods unresolved.

• Gord told his gods to protect themselves and look for chances to assist him from the side.
• Orsaga sent thousands of cursed Bloodflame blades at Gord and tried to stab him from behind through a Spatial Rift.
• Gord evaded Orsaga’s tail and detected poison, then activated his divine protections and heightened perception.
• Gord charged Orsaga at faster-than-light speed and swung his rune-covered greatsword at him.
• Orsaga met Gord’s strike with a powerful punch, and their collision destroyed the flaming tornado, sank the island, and wiped out half of the low- and mid-tier combatants.

Orsaga and Gord fought so fiercely that their battle devastated the island and sea inside the isolation barrier, eventually shattering it. Orsaga was hurled out of the battle and crashed into a defensive fortress, leaving its survivors to face the destruction.

• Orsaga was blasted from the battle at immense speed and smashed through the king's defensive fortress, then crawled out of the crater, confused about what he had hit.

Orsaga and Gord resumed their battle after Orsaga destroyed the isolation barrier, and their fight devastated the sea and surrounding islands. A fishing crew was swept into a vortex and burned by falling flames, while the two gods remained unaware of the mortals caught in their battle.

• Orsaga absorbed drifting souls, realized he had struck a defensive fortress, and flew back to fight Gord.
• With the barrier gone, Gord drew on the sunlight to recover, and the gods’ battle spread across the sky and sea.
• Fishermen on a small island saw the strange, approaching spectacle, and their captain ordered the crew to flee.
• Waves and a thick fog trapped the fishing boat in a Great Vortex, which carried the crew and other sea life into Bloodflame.
• As the young fisherman was swept toward the flames, he wondered what the creatures fighting in the sky were.

The Kololoya Merchant Guild watched the battles and debated whether to interfere, while Orsaga’s destructive fight with Gord continued. Orsaga exploited Gord’s waning confidence to pierce his defenses and tear out the bone containing his divine power core, leaving Gord defeated.

• The Kololoya Merchant Guild stewards decided to conserve their trump-card artifact and let the Upper Demons weaken one another.
