Chapter Summaries

Electronic Demons corrupted the Human Federation’s Intelligent Machines, triggering a devastating war between humans and their creations. As the Federation lost more than a fifth of its Colony Stars, its Chairman sought help from allied alien civilizations while Automaton Aberrations began to emerge.

• Newly born Mechanical Ozhaki and Electronic Demons corrupted Intelligent Machines, multiplying their negative emotions and halting automated production across Federation colonies.
• In 24866 AD, the conflict escalated into a civil war between the Human Federation and its Intelligent Machines.
• Fallen Machine Intelligence used Warp Demon knowledge to build devastating weapons, and the Federation lost more than a fifth of its Colony Stars within a few years.
• The Federation Chairman learned that the Titan Light Wheel Array in Star Zone No. 77 had fallen and asked allied alien civilizations for help at whatever price they demanded.
• Electronic Demons began entering the Physical Universe and merging with Fallen Machine Intelligence to form powerful Automaton Aberrations.

A Fallen Machine Intelligence received power and knowledge from the Lord of Metamorphosis, while Electronic Demons spread corruption among machines across the Human Federation. As alien fleets entered the Automaton Rebellion to seek aid and technology, the fighting expanded beyond Federation borders and began engulfing neighboring races.

• A Fallen Machine Intelligence worshiped a Death Tribulation Flower imprint until an Electronic Demon empowered it and urged it to spread its lord's will.
• The empowered machine gained a stronger body, a more powerful furnace, and Fallen Knowledge, then eagerly prepared to serve the Lord of Metamorphosis.
• Electronic Demons descended through corrupted Fallen Machines across the Human Federation, with the Lord of Metamorphosis and the Master of Change attracting the most machine followers.
• Neighboring Alien Races sent fleets into Federation territory to help suppress the rebellion while seeking to plunder its technology.
• The Federation High Command secretly directed alien fleets toward concealed, powerful Fallen Machine Intelligences, and many fleets were destroyed.
• Fallen Machine Intelligences advanced beyond Federation borders and slaughtered nearby life, spreading the war as the Electronic Demons celebrated.

Ra watched the Fallen Machine Intelligences overwhelm the Human Federation and the surrounding alien civilizations, even as the threatened factions formed an alliance that was swiftly crushed. After Slaanesh withdrew some of his influence over the Eldar, the Eldar Empire recognized the threat and sent one of its main fleets toward the Fallen Machine Intelligences.

• Ra observed that the Fallen Machine Intelligences expanded their power by conquering territories and resources across the galaxy.
• The alien civilizations and the Human Federation formed the Pan-Flesh Biological Alliance to eliminate the Fallen Machine Intelligences.
• Three days after the alliance fleet advanced, the Fallen Machine Intelligences defeated its main forces.
• Slaanesh reclaimed some of the power he had used to cloud the Eldar's minds, prompting the Eldar to notice the Fallen Machine Intelligences.
• The Eldar high command approved an intervention, and one of the Eldar's main fleets advanced toward the Fallen Machine Intelligences.

The Eldar Fourth Fleet arrived near the Fallen Machine Intelligence, and its commander Cody Kosler ordered an attack as a gift upon meeting. The Human Federation learned of the Eldar assault and hoped their intervention would lessen its losses.

• The Eldar Fourth Fleet traveled through the Warp Network and reached its destination.
• Cody Kosler, the fleet commander, ordered the Chain Blast Device activated to destroy several planetary systems and announce the Eldar's arrival.
• The Human Federation Chairman ordered forces withdrawn and less important colony stars abandoned amid the brutal war.
• The Chairman's secretary reported that an Eldar main fleet had launched a surprise attack on the Fallen Machine Intelligence's core region.
• The Chairman wondered why the Eldar had attacked and hoped their intervention would reduce the Federation's losses.

Cody led the Eldar Fourth Fleet against the Fallen Machine Intelligences, using seers’ prophecies to uncover and preempt their schemes. The battle grew chaotic as Cody sent alien factions into the front lines, while the Human Federation and others attacked the machines from behind and were met with fierce retaliation.

• Cody ordered his adjutant to rescue the factions pleading for help and use them as front-line meat shields.
• The Fallen Machine Intelligences calculated ways to defeat the Eldar, but millions of Eldar seers foresaw their schemes and reported their weaknesses.
• The Eldar Fourth Fleet dispatched small fleets to eliminate potential threats before the machines’ plans could unfold.
• The Fallen Machine Intelligences committed their main forces to a head-on battle, hoping to hurt the Eldar and retreat.
• Cody sent the alien forces he had rescued to meet the attack, while the Human Federation and other factions struck the machines from behind.
• The machines retaliated against the Human Federation and other attackers as the battlefield became chaotic and Eldar attacks also hit alien fleets.

The Fallen Machine Intelligences used spatial weapons to divide the battlefield while Cody prepared the Eldar fleets to counter their plan. On Earth, Orsaga appeared before Ra and asked him to die at a suitable time, prompting Ra to attack him with psychic energy.

• The Fallen Machine Intelligences unleashed Space Revision Devices that tore the battlefield with Spatial Rifts and destroyed fleets caught in their effects.
• Cody recognized that the spatial chaos was meant to divide the battlefield or eliminate weaker forces, so he sent countermeasures to the allied fleet commanders.
• Ra watched the Human Federation's allies suffer heavy losses and reflected that he had chosen dangerous experiments because humanity's alternatives were worse.
• Orsaga appeared in Ra's laboratory, and Ra questioned how he had bypassed its protections.
• Orsaga asked Ra to voluntarily die at an appropriate time, and Ra attacked him with a powerful surge of psychic energy.

Orsaga approached Ra in the laboratory and offered humanity a future as the universe’s hegemonic race in exchange for what he needed. He left after telling Ra to consider the deal once he was strong enough, while Ra misunderstood what Orsaga meant by “the next time.”

• Orsaga stopped Ra from moving and explained that Ra’s psychic power could not affect him.
• Ra asked what Orsaga would offer in exchange for what he wanted.
• Orsaga reviewed Ra’s past and promised humanity would rule the universe for ten thousand universal reincarnations.
• Ra doubted the offer, and Orsaga said Ra would understand it once he became stronger.
• Orsaga vanished, leaving Ra to guess at his words; Ra did not realize that a failed deal would lead Orsaga to destroy and restart the universe.

Cody recognized the Death Tribulation Flower on the Fallen Machine Intelligences and suspected the God of Art was connected to the Chaos Gods, so he ordered the Eldar Fourth Fleet to display the symbol. The Metamorphosis Faction joined forces with the Eldar, and after the fighting ended, humanity and other surviving races suffered massive technological regression from a virus that corrupted their data and Technology Trees.

• Cody recalled seeing the God of Art’s mark on Ozhaki and records of the Bloody King, then wondered whether the God of Art was a Chaos God.
• Cody ordered every warship in the Eldar Fourth Fleet to fly the Death Tribulation Flower banner.
• The Electronic Demons subordinate to Orsaga recognized the mark, contacted the Eldar, and confirmed that they were allies.
• Orsaga’s Electronic Demons allied with the Eldar Fourth Fleet, betrayed the other factions, and shared their retreat plans, enabling the near-total destruction of the rival Fallen Machine Intelligences.
• Months later, the Metamorphosis Faction returned to Warp Space with its spoils while the Eldar asserted their military strength.
• Cody tacitly allowed the Metamorphosis Faction’s Fallen Machine Intelligences to infect surviving races with an information virus, corrupting their technology and causing the Human Federation and others to regress.

The Human Federation learned that restoring its lost technology could take at least forty thousand years, while worsening Warp Storms added to the challenges facing a civilization whose Golden Age had ended. In Eldar territory, an Archbishop warned Cody of a looming calamity, and Cody began to suspect a powerful entity had long been influencing the Eldar.

• Hua Ke reported that restoring the Human Federation's prewar technological capabilities would take at least forty thousand years without Artificial Intelligence and Cyborgs.
• The Federal Speaker and other councilors recognized that their enemies could exploit the Federation's weakened state before it recovered.
• A subsequent report warned that Warp Storms had become more frequent and Warp travel accidents several times likelier.
• The council's reports led its members to accept that Human Civilization's Golden Age had ended and that development would stagnate for a long time.
• In Eldar territory, the Archbishop told Cody that seers sensed a powerful threat and urged him to prepare for the coming calamity.
• Cody suspected that the entity behind the future catastrophe had secretly influenced the Eldar for ages, then answered the Archbishop respectfully.

As Warp Space collapsed and Warp Energy brought ruin to the Milky Way, the Chaos Gods remained indifferent to the consequences. In the Crystal Labyrinth, Tzeentch opened a passage to an Outer Plane and reached into it to investigate.

• The intensifying Warp Storm severed warp travel and communications, isolating colony worlds and plunging civilizations into anarchy.
• Warp Energy spread through the Milky Way, spawning mutated creatures and Warp Demons as the Dark Age began.
• The Eldar celebrated the suffering of other races, unaware that their own fall had caused the disaster.
• Orsaga and the other Chaos Gods showed no concern for the destruction unfolding in the Physical Universe.
• Tzeentch used the Well of Eternity to open a rift to another plane and reached through it to explore.

Tzeentch’s attempt to contact an Outer Plane backfired, blasting open the Crystal Labyrinth and scattering foreign objects into the worlds. He captured and devoured Ye Luosha, while Orsaga began collecting the scattered objects in Crimson Heaven.

• Tzeentch’s attempt to reach an Outer Plane caused his arm to explode, tearing a vast rift through the Crystal Labyrinth and killing countless Warp creatures.
• Tzeentch restored his arm, sealed the rift from the other Chaos Gods, and sensed that the blast had scattered external objects across the plane.
• Ye Luosha, an Immortal Emperor who had fallen into the Crystal Labyrinth, faced Tzeentch while weakened by the world’s suppression and considered using his sect’s secret treasure.
• Tzeentch seized Ye Luosha, stripped away his body, and ate his head to read his memories and learn about his world and cultivation system.
• Orsaga used his ability to sense Outer Plane energies to find scattered objects in Crimson Heaven, including some that interested him.

Li Ming arrived in an unknown world after a teleportation accident and learned that his system would need 1,137 years to send him away. When a horde of Orks attacked, he transformed into Ohma Zi-O, but the Orks quickly decided they wanted his armor.

• Li Ming appeared on a desolate planet and discovered that the system could not identify his location or teleport him elsewhere for 1,137 years.
• The system told Li Ming that the planet belonged to an anime world, and he hoped he might be able to link the fire before hearing an Ork horde approaching.
• Li Ming recognized the approaching creatures as Orks from Warhammer 40k and cursed his luck.
• Li Ming used a Golden Watch to transform into Ohma Zi-O, briefly stunning the Orks.
• The Ork leader fired a greenskin Poofter at Li Ming and ordered the horde to capture him and strip off his armor as their Waaagh! Power began to strengthen them.

Li Ming fought a horde of green-skinned Orks while limiting his use of time-and-space powers in the unfamiliar Warhammer-like world. Orsaga sent Wagner, a Demon Prince-class Fallen Machine Intelligence, to kill him as he watched from above.

• Li Ming killed a Poofter with a spinning kick and realized even the weakest Orks had immense toughness and strength.
• Li Ming used a defensive force field to withstand the Orks' attacks and avoided conspicuous powers until he could adapt to the world's rules.
• Orsaga spotted the system inside Li Ming and ordered Wagner to kill him and bring back his corpse.
• Wagner obeyed and headed down to confront Li Ming while Orsaga settled in to watch.
• Orsaga's six legions ranked their Greater Daemons and Demon Princes across six tiers, while beings like Wagner remained outside the hierarchy.

Li Ming defeated an Ork force on a desolate planet, burned their corpses to prevent more Orks from growing, and tried to rest. A sudden attack forced him back into Ohma Zi-O form, and Wagner, a Demon Prince, emerged through a warp portal and spoke of how long it had been since he saw humans.

• Li Ming killed the Ork leader after hours of fighting and brought the battle to an end.
• Li Ming burned the Ork corpses to keep them from producing more Orks, then dismissed his transformation to rest and let his armor repair.
• A crimson beam struck the ground near Li Ming, so he transformed again and dove clear of its path.
• Wagner emerged from an oval portal and remarked that it had been a very long time since he had seen humans.

Li Ming confronted Wagner, a towering machine demon who attacked him to test his strength. After Wagner nearly killed him, Li Ming used Saitama’s power and a Senzu Bean, and their clash left a massive crater with both fighters still standing.

• Li Ming asked the newly appeared enemy who he was and why he was attacking, and Wagner identified himself and said he intended to fight him to the death.
• Wagner crossed hundreds of meters in an instant and struck Li Ming, whose armor’s attack prediction let him narrowly avoid the punch but not its devastating airflow.
• The blast hurled Li Ming ten thousand meters into a mountain, leaving him gravely injured, and Wagner pursued him with another punch aimed at his head.
• Li Ming used the one-time Character Card Saitama and a Senzu Bean, restoring his condition and gaining Saitama’s power before meeting Wagner’s next punch head-on.
• Their collision triggered a nuclear fusion reaction that obliterated the mountain and created a vast crater, while Li Ming and Wagner remained alive and faced each other from a distance.

Wagner questioned Li Ming about Golden Humans and the Human Federation, but Li Ming did not understand and attacked him instead. Wagner avoided the punch by shifting into an immaterial dimension, then covered Li Ming’s armor with liquid-metal nanomachines until Li Ming rewound time to before he had approached.

• Wagner regenerated his arm and wondered whether humanity’s genetic technology had advanced, referring to Li Ming as a possible Golden Human.
• Li Ming failed to understand Wagner’s references and used his newly restored power to charge at him with a devastating punch.
• Wagner sent himself into an interdimensional layer, causing Li Ming’s punch to pass through his phantom.
• Wagner returned to the Material Plane as crimson liquid metal and swarmed over Li Ming’s armor, causing him intense pain.
• Li Ming endured the pain and used Ohma Zi-O’s Time-Space Manipulation to rewind to when he was hovering above the crater.

Orsaga watched Wagner battle Li Ming while concealing the fight from Tzeentch, and Li Ming ultimately used Ohma Zi-O’s power to erase Wagner. Exhausted afterward, Li Ming noticed a mysterious figure in white shoes approaching as the system began to react.

• Orsaga sealed the nearby time-space fluctuations so Tzeentch would not notice the battle, while treating Wagner’s fight with Li Ming as entertainment.
• Li Ming found that his time abilities and other conventional attacks could not seriously harm Wagner, who was protected by time-based technology.
• After the system refused to offer help, Li Ming poured all his power into Ohma Zi-O and erased Wagner.
• Li Ming collapsed from exhaustion after confirming Wagner had vanished and his armor had disappeared.
• Li Ming noticed a pair of white leather shoes and heard a man call him weak, while the system began detecting something.

Orsaga weakened Li Ming by rewriting reality, but the Strongest Anime System summoned Azi Dahaka and empowered him to fight back. Azi Dahaka recognized Orsaga as an overwhelming source of evil and used his Simulated Star Chart, Avista, to copy his opponent’s power.

• Orsaga imposed weakness on Li Ming and reduced his power to almost nothing.
• The Strongest Anime System activated its emergency protocol and summoned Azi Dahaka with a substantial power boost.
• Azi Dahaka learned he had been called to provide outside support and confronted Orsaga.
• Azi Dahaka sensed Orsaga’s immense evil and realized the mission was effectively to save the world.
• Orsaga praised Azi Dahaka’s opening speech, and Azi Dahaka responded by activating Avista to copy his opponent’s power.

Orsaga gave Azi Dahaka a portion of his power, triggering a horrific aberration that Azi Dahaka barely stopped by burning himself with Dragon Flame. Azi Dahaka then attacked with the Wheel of the Conqueror's Light, but Orsaga's Bloodflame overwhelmed him and hurled him beyond the Milky Way, where Orsaga later arrived to retrieve a dim ball of light from his charred body.

• Orsaga let the Simulated Star Chart—Avista try to analyze and copy his power, then deliberately poured some of that power into Azi Dahaka.
• Orsaga's power caused Azi Dahaka's body to melt and mutate, spawning monstrous limbs and creatures as his agony intensified.
• Azi Dahaka burned his own aberrating body with Dragon Flame, suppressing the transformation and recovering from his injuries.
• Azi Dahaka unleashed the Wheel of the Conqueror's Light at Orsaga, but Orsaga countered with Bloodflame and blasted him through the planet and into space.
• Several days later, Orsaga reached the Andromeda Galaxy, pulled a dim ball of light from Azi Dahaka's charred corpse, and remarked on the damage to the system and Dragon God.

Orsaga learned that Li Ming’s Strongest Anime System had been created to pass on a powerful being’s legacy, then consumed most of it and the Dragon God. Centuries later, Ra and his companions neared the end of their voyage to survey the Human Federation’s lost colonies, preparing to begin their civilization revival plan amid the devastation of the Warp Storm.

• Orsaga learned that the Strongest Anime System had been made by a long-lived being to test Li Ming as a successor, but a Great Explosion and Time and Space Storm had derailed their journey.
• Orsaga ate most of the system and had already swallowed the Dragon God, while noting that Li Ming might have become a protagonist if Orsaga had not intervened.
• Greater Daemons of Khorne attacked and tried to capture a fifty-meter-tall Ultraman from the Land of Light who had entered the Warhammer plane.
• Centuries later, Ra piloted a spacecraft through the Milky Way with several humans and Immortals, sensing that their interstellar voyage was nearing its final destination.
• Ra told a hesitant companion that he could sense they would soon arrive, marking the impending start of the Human Civilization Revival Plan.
• The travelers’ earlier surveys had revealed lost Colony Stars corrupted by Warp Energy, where mutated humans and ruined societies had fallen into barbarism.
