As the Abyss Gate expanded by consuming demon souls, Odor realized the invasion was a trap and prepared to evacuate with Kyle. A Legendary Hill Giant killed Kanai in one blow, but the Gate devoured his escaping soul and grew larger, deepening Banuka and the other demons’ suspicions.

• Banuka watched the Abyss Gate expand while it ignored him and consumed demon souls to fuel its growth.
• Odor saw more Soul Intent Tier demons gathering and concluded the Gate would be difficult to close, so he prepared to leave with Kyle and sent an avatar to warn Xuemya and the others.
• The Legendary Hill Giant arrived, and Kanai charged at it while Bamor and Cali watched.
• The Hill Giant crushed nearly three hundred thousand demons with its Earth Law Domain and killed Kanai with a single axe strike that also devastated the land behind the barrier.
• As Kanai’s soul fled through the Gate, the Gate devoured it and expanded to four thousand meters, making Banuka and the Legendary Demons more wary of one another.

The Abyss Gate devoured the souls of legendary Demons and grew, revealing that the invasion was a conspiracy to strengthen it. As Bamor succumbed to the Gate’s influence and attacked the Hill Giant, the giant left Kyle safely on the ground and charged to meet him.

• Cali and Bamor realized that the Abyss Gate had grown by devouring Kanai’s soul, while the wounded Dongluen prepared to self-destruct against Kyle.
• The Hill Giant shielded Kyle from Dongluen’s self-destruction, and Dongluen’s soul flew into the Abyss Gate, where a giant maw swallowed it and made the Gate expand again.
• Cali recognized that Demon souls were being used to strengthen the Abyss Gate and ordered her fallen elf warriors to march north.
• Bamor warned Cali that a violent emotion was consuming his reason, then lost control and charged the Hill Giant.
• The Hill Giant set Kyle down and rushed to fight Bamor while Kyle watched him with respect.

The Abyss Gate expanded, allowing Banuka and waves of Legendary Demons to enter Ilyria World, where the Hill Giant confronted the Abyss Lord. As more Demons scattered to attack the world, Kyle faced a high-rank Legendary Bewitching Demon and drank the Primordial Time Potion.

• Velin confirmed that Kyle was safe, then stayed with his avatars to guard the area and hunt Demons.
• Banuka entered the expanded Abyss Gate with two Greater Demons, followed by other groups of Legendary Demons.

• Legendary Demons spread out from Dragon Hammer City, and Antiria let a high-rank Bewitching Demon claim Kyle before flying southeast.
• Kyle drank the Primordial Time Potion as the Bewitching Demon approached.

Kyle drank the purple potion and drew on the power of his future self, rising to the brink of Epic and overwhelming the Demons at the Abyss Gate. He restored the Hill Giant and kept killing Legendary Demons as the gate grew, while an observer on the Abyss’s 17,375th layer realized Banuka had died.

• Kyle drank the potion, encountered a future version of himself in the river of time, and rose through the Legendary ranks to just below Epic.
