Chapter Summaries

Aminatu’s immature mind kept her from fully understanding her power, while the wounded Yogmoth pondered the mysterious force within him. A colossal Red Dragon confronted him, revealing that he had manipulated Yogmoth’s fate since he was mortal.

• The Red Dragon told Yogmoth that he had set everything in motion when Yogmoth was still mortal.

The Red Dragon triggered the Blood Sacrifice Ritual through Yogmoth, the Evolution Star Potion, and corrupted followers across countless worlds. The ritual formed a vast Death Tribulation Flower imprint and a blood-red gate across the breach between three worlds, drawing the multiverse’s rejection and the attention of powerful beings.

• The Red Dragon revealed that Yogmoth’s true purpose was to activate the ritual, causing the viruses within him and across countless worlds to erupt into uncontrolled mutations.
• Imokku, Ulamo, and Kojire broke their seals in Zendikar World, then dispersed their power through the Evolution Star Potion to transform its users into monsters and assemble the cross-world Blood Sacrifice Ritual.
• At the Three Gods of Salvation Cult’s celebration in Ranika World, the three Ozhaki Leaders reached the believers through their faith and transformed them into Ozhaki Derivatives that spread across the city and attacked its defenders.
• Erebus offered his heart at the ritual’s center, linking rituals across countless worlds into a Death Tribulation Flower imprint on the breach left by Dominaria World, Phyrexia World, and Ryss World.
• The Red Dragon shattered into blood-red motes that formed a gate across the breach, prompting the multiverse to try to destroy it as powerful beings sensed the disturbance.

The Primordial Dragon’s attack linked the Dominia Plane to Crimson Heaven and opened a crack in the blood-colored door, prompting Aminatu and the others to seal it and rewrite reality. As the door shattered and a vortex began to close, Orsaga unleashed his power from Crimson Heaven and crossed into the Dominia Plane.

• The Primordial Dragon struck the blood-colored door, and the sacrifice redirected his attack while establishing a connection between the plane and Crimson Heaven.
• Aminatu, the Primordial Dragon, and the Primordial Cat bound the door with chains as Aminatu tried to erase it by restoring the fate from before it appeared.
• An entity behind the door battered the seal until the chains and anchors failed, and the door shattered into a shrinking blood-colored vortex.
• Orsaga rose from his throne in Crimson Heaven and unleashed a surge of power that crossed the planes and arrived in the Dominia Plane.

Orsaga entered the Dominia Plane and used Sole Dominance to destroy its worlds, defeat its defenders, and reduce the plane to its state Before Creation. After presenting the plane as a sacrifice to the Abyssal Will, he received a reward that advanced him slightly toward becoming a Demon Prince.

• Orsaga emerged from a drop of his true body's blood and commanded lifeforms across the Dominia Plane to sacrifice everything to him.
• Countless lifeforms transformed and died, and their worlds collapsed as Timelines crumbled toward the Beginning of Creation.
• The Primordial Dragons, the Primordial Cat, and Aminatu fought Orsaga with the plane consciousness's power, but he shattered their defenses and killed Aminatu.
• Orsaga destroyed the Dominia Plane, sparing only the giant serpent and giant wolf beside Lady of Pain.
• After Lady of Pain and the survivors departed, Orsaga reverted the plane to its state Before Creation and offered it to the Abyssal Will.
• A crimson pillar of light descended upon Crimson Heaven, granting Orsaga a tiny step toward the level of a Demon Prince.

After the Crimson Heaven’s pillar of light faded, Orsaga told Golanel that he had dealt with the Dominia Plane and gained something useful. He explained why power mattered more than schemes when confronting beings of his level and why he had attacked the newly born plane before it could grow stronger.

• Golanel restored the palace barrier, sent the head maid outside, and went alone to Orsaga’s room.
• Orsaga drew Golanel beside him and told her he had gained something useful.
• Golanel asked whether Orsaga had dealt with the Dominia Plane, and he confirmed that he had.
• Golanel asked what Orsaga planned to do next, and he said he would adapt to circumstances rather than rely on a fixed plan.
• Orsaga explained that powerful beings could detect schemes and that he had exploited the Dominia Plane’s youth before its inhabitants could grow strong.

Lady of Pain returned from the Outer Planes with new knowledge and decided against contacting Orsaga, then recruited the giant serpent and giant wolf to guard a new hub in the multiverse. Several years later, Sigil City appeared in the Outlands.

• Lady of Pain's avatar returned, and her true body received its gains after a long delay caused by differences between planes.
• Lady of Pain considered using Orsaga's contact card to seek long-distance communication knowledge but put it away and sealed it more heavily.

• The giant serpent and giant wolf agreed to serve Lady of Pain.
• Several years later, Sigil City appeared in the Outlands as a hub connecting otherwise unconnected regions.

AO watched the Lady of Pain create Sigil City as a Spacetime Node connecting worlds, while the Order Serpents ignored her work. With no one intervening, the Lady of Pain focused on opening passages between isolated time-space nodes and Sigil City.

• AO observed the Lady of Pain's construction of Sigil City and studied its structure, but neither helped nor interfered.
• AO considered sending out avatars to explore and find something interesting.
• The Order Serpents sensed Sigil City's creation, briefly watched, and then returned to their own affairs.
• The Lady of Pain confirmed that the other apex beings would not interfere and turned her attention back to Sigil City.
• The Lady of Pain rewrote the surrounding spacetime structure, opening sealed nodes and forming portals connected to Sigil City.

Lady of Pain sensed the sealed Primal Pain stirring as Sigil City developed, foreseeing calamities centered there and recalling its unusual reaction to Orsaga. Orsaga detected her thoughts and located her plane, but calmly decided to wait for the card he had given her to draw her into contact.

• Lady of Pain’s power reshaped the void, but the Primal Pain sealed inside her began to stir.
• Lady of Pain recalled how she had sealed Primal Pain to preserve balance and realized its excitement foretold calamities spreading from Sigil City.
• Lady of Pain remembered that Primal Pain had been drawn toward Orsaga’s power and marked him as dangerous.
• Orsaga sensed Lady of Pain thinking about him and determined the general location of her plane, though its barriers blocked his sight.
• Orsaga trusted that the card he had given Lady of Pain would eventually prompt her curiosity, so he chose to wait.

A disturbance shook Faltershi’s Gemstone Sea of Clouds before it quickly repaired itself, and Orsaga suspected it was connected to the Resonance Assimilation Ritual. The chapter ended as a streak of black light shot across Abyss Layers, drawing grave expressions from Orsaga and the other Abyss Lords.

• A surge of energy disrupted Faltershi’s Gemstone Sea of Clouds and swept nearby travelers toward unknown destinations.
• Faltershi’s territory repaired its damaged areas, and calm returned to the Abyss Layer.
• Orsaga guessed that the disturbance might have resulted from Faltershi encountering a troublesome counterpart through the Resonance Assimilation Ritual.
• Orsaga reflected that he was likely the strongest of his counterparts and did not fear being absorbed by one of them.
• A streak of black light sped past Crimson Heaven and across Abyss Layers, and Orsaga and the other Abyss Lords recognized its origin and grew serious.

Orsaga watched an invitation from the Unity Council disappear and learned that the organization sought to concentrate all the Multiverse’s power into one ultimate being by destroying everything and everyone else. Intrigued by the prospect of joining, he realized the invitation meant countless lives had likely already been lost.

• The chapter explained that the Unity Council was an unregulated organization of powerful beings from the Bottomless Abyss, each at least as strong as an Abyss Lord.
• The Council was founded to test whether one being could surpass the Abyss Princes by absorbing all the Multiverse’s matter, energy, and governing principles.

A golden-armored commander examined the rapidly growing, universe-draining monster named Lagrus and prepared to attend a combat meeting about it. Meanwhile, the Only God activated the Getter project in another universe, tasking an intelligent computer with evolving, defeating its competitors, and ultimately confronting Shi Tiankong.

• The golden-armored commander observed Lagrus consuming celestial bodies and the universe’s Power of Time and Space.
• The commander reviewed reports that Lagrus had grown enormously, resisted conventional attacks, and destroyed the Tyrrhet Empire's Third Fleet with a planet-sized projectile.
• An officer told the commander that the combat meeting concerning Lagrus was about to begin.
• The Only God officially named the experimental target Lagrus and sent a special ray toward another universe.
• The ray entered an old-fashioned intelligent computer and activated the Getter project, ordering it to evolve, defeat its competitors, and face Shi Tiankong.

Getter used the Intelligent Computer’s networks to secretly organize its construction, then consumed resources across a planet and expanded into space. After defeating millions of interstellar civilizations, Getter projected its will into other universes to gather resources and recruit individuals for its continued evolution.

• Getter accessed the Intelligent Computer’s databases and network, created countless accounts, and secretly mobilized people and resources to build its body.
• Getter emerged as a towering red-and-gold mechanical being, startled a military officer, and quickly left the assembled troops behind.
• Getter attacked a nuclear power plant and consumed its fuel, then annihilated the elite troops sent to surround it.
• Getter collected the planet’s valuable materials and left for space, later hollowing out part of a nearby star to build new equipment.
• Getter broke out of its planetary system, defeated an interstellar civilization, and eventually crushed millions of civilizations across the universe.
• Getter projected its will into other universes to acquire resources and find individuals who could assist its evolution.

Shi Tiankong and Orsaga noticed Lagrus and Getter’s hostility but dismissed them as insignificant. In Crimson Heaven, Orsaga ordered another hundred legions into the Abyss Blood War after learning the previous hundred had been wiped out by an Abyss Lord.

• Shi Tiankong sensed Lagrus and Getter’s malice but quickly stopped paying attention to them.
• Orsaga regarded Lagrus, Getter, and the many others who hated him as insignificant ants.

• Deadly weather and rays ravaged Crimson Heaven as residents, visitors, and Demonic Beasts slaughtered one another and gained power.
• Orsaga used Slaughter Time to eliminate the weak and relied on Legion Commanders to further test survivors.

Orsaga used Slaughter Time to attract the Abyssal Will’s attention and seek benefits, though he judged it unlikely to make him a Demon Prince. After the slaughter ended, Crimson Heaven healed itself and replenished its population, setting the stage for even larger future rounds.

• Orsaga held Slaughter Time as a grand sacrifice and gained the Abyssal Will’s attention, but decided it would not realistically advance him to Demon Prince.
• The victors left Crimson Heaven, and the living territory devoured the battlefield’s remains and instantly repaired its damage.
• Orsaga’s hidden facilities, Abyssal portals, and other forces produced and transported new residents to replace those killed.
• Orsaga turned the dead’s resentment and residual energy into swarms of Vengeful Spirits that hunted across Crimson Heaven.
• Crimson Heaven’s population was replenished, and Orsaga prepared for future Slaughter Time rounds with himself as organizer and maker of the rules.

Bored and still angry at Pennywise, Orsaga tried to enter the plane where his old enemy and Mazhuling resided, despite knowing it held many powerful beings. As he struggled against its barrier, the plane itself appeared to intervene.

• Orsaga recalled how Pennywise had used him as bait before Mazhuling, leaving him with a desire for revenge.
• Bored with the lack of opponents in the Abyss, Orsaga sent his will toward the plane's Spacetime Coordinate and began probing its barrier.
• Mazhuling noticed Orsaga's return and expected him to be beaten again, while other powerful beings watched briefly before ignoring him.
• Orsaga struggled to break through the unusually strong barrier and began to fear that the attempt would end badly.
• A hand formed directly from the plane barrier, and Orsaga suspected the plane consciousness had appeared.

Orsaga encountered Gann, a living High-level Plane whose overwhelming power struck him through the Crimson Heaven. Orsaga rewrote the timeline to return unharmed, but concluded he could not defeat Gann on his home ground.

• Gann struck Orsaga, and Orsaga perceived him as a humanoid figure seamlessly united with the plane.
• Gann's power overwhelmed Orsaga's will, traced it back to the Crimson Heaven, and hurled him through the palace and deep underground.
• Orsaga activated the Sole Dominator and rewrote the timeline, restoring himself to his throne and erasing the others' memories of the attack.
• Orsaga realized Gann could contend with an Abyss Prince on his own turf, and the tense atmosphere in the Crimson Heaven frightened and calmed its inhabitants.

After an attack shook the Crimson Heaven, Orsaga reassured Golanel and the others that he had suffered no real harm. He revealed that the attacker was a living High-level plane powerful enough to rival an Abyss Prince, leaving them worried about the danger.

• Golanel, Allison, and the others entered the palace and asked Orsaga about the attack that had shaken the Crimson Heaven.
• Orsaga explained that the distant strike had been weakened and had not seriously injured him, though he was angry about losing face.
• Golanel and the others realized Orsaga's restraint suggested he feared or respected his opponent, and Golanel asked whether he had angered an Abyss Prince.
• Orsaga admitted the opponent was not an Abyss Prince but a living High-level plane, prompting the others to worry about its power.

The chapter introduced the Heavenly Net True Realm and the dangerous Savage Domain, where the Yin Kui Sect stood among the most powerful evil factions. Wanwan and the sect’s elders began their customary sacrifice to Orsaga, with a many-faced tree arranging treasures in a ritual array.

As the Yin Kui Sect’s Sacrifice Ritual continued, its elders competed to boast about their offerings while Wanwan reflected on the six ascensions that had brought her to the Heavenly Net True Realm. She learned that still higher worlds existed, leaving her weary and unsettled about how much farther she would have to ascend.

• During the Sacrifice Ritual, an elder boasted that he had refined Primordial Void Crystals from primordial stars and fought powerhouses from the Primordial Chaos Sect, prompting the other elders to compare their offerings.
• Wanwan let the elders boast as long as they did not start a fight and watched the ritual take shape.
