Chen Hai recognized that Andrew, Matt, and Steve had not yet begun the events that would lead to their ruin, and he warned them that the crystal behind their telekinesis could reshape humanity.

Chen Hai explored his newly awakened telekinetic powers, discovering that he could manipulate objects and perceive his surroundings over a long range, though extended sensing left him dizzy. After gaining an energy point from eating the remaining food, he considered whether to strengthen his Spirit or improve his Telekinesis skill.

He-El examined Chen Hai’s conquest of Earth and discovered that the Chronicle universe’s superpower-granting crystal came from an alien civilization searching the Solar System. He ordered The Three-Body Problem universe’s research and logistics bases moved to Chronicle, then returned to the He-El Universe as Lucy arrived.

• He-El reviewed Chen Hai’s completed Chronicle story and took over Chen Hai’s body, erasing his will.
• He-El observed that many people on Earth supported Chen Hai’s brutal rule and redistribution of resources, and recognized Chen Hai’s methods as much like his own.

• He-El left Chen Hai’s body and returned to the He-El Universe, where Lucy also arrived from the Lucy universe.

Lucy brought the Lucy Universe’s operating logic to He-El, who integrated it into his universe and appointed her its chief steward while preparing New Krypton to conquer the Lucy Universe. He-El then showed Lucy how he sent the spark of a clone who drowned after fighting Akainu Sakazuki and Aokiji Kuzan into another Traversal Vortex.

He-El reviewed Zeus’s failed efforts to reach Heavenly Blood and directed New Krypton’s expansion across several universes. As the Monitors began merging the Parallel Universes, Doctor Manhattan warned He-El of the change.

• Zero reported that Zeus had made no progress crossing the universal boundary, and He-El concluded that the presence within Zeus was not in a hurry.

• Zero agreed to leave an avatar system in New Krypton to oversee its operations during the fusion.

After the merged Parallel Universe’s forces were defeated, He-El urged Athena and the Olympian Gods to survive their counterparts with help from New Krypton’s stellar-level personnel. Zeus then reported that a base collecting Heavenly Blood had gone silent after an Ancient Krypton Doomsday Warship appeared.

• Zero withdrew Ciri, Hela, and the Mechanical Corps into the He-El Universe while New Krypton’s forces eliminated the merged Parallel Universe’s counterparts.
• Athena led the Olympian Gods and New Krypton’s stellar-level personnel to defeat Odin’s Norse Pantheon, then reported to He-El.
• He-El warned the Olympian Gods about their counterparts and promised fifty stellar-level personnel to assist them; Athena led the gods away to prepare for the next universe merger.
• Zeus told He-El that his Heavenly Blood collection base had lost contact after an Ancient Krypton Doomsday Warship appeared following the merger.

He-El and Zeus found Ancient Krypton’s missing Doomsday Warship near the edge of the universe, where it had appeared after the Parallel Universe merged. The ship was unmistakably Zeus’s from this universe, but its decayed hull carried an ominous aura neither of them recognized.

• Zeus maintained his boundary mechanical base while monitoring the universe after the merger disrupted his mission to collect Heavenly Blood.

• A ruined researcher approached them, and He-El recognized him as Non, his former teacher and one of General Zod’s subordinates.

He-El and Zeus encountered General Zod’s former subordinates aboard the Doomsday Warship, discovering that ominous energy had turned them into living dead. They reached the dark command room and found Faora standing inside.

• Zeus restrained Non, and He-El recalled how Non’s warnings about Krypton’s destruction led to his punishment and General Zod’s rebellion.
• He-El ordered Zeus to kill Non, but Non survived even after Zeus crushed his spine and pulverized his brain.
• He-El used Microscopic Vision to discover that ominous energy sustained Non’s body and biological instincts, then continued toward the command room with Zeus.

• He-El told Zeus to wait outside the Doomsday Warship and asked Faora to take him to General Zod.
