Tang Qi received an invitation from the returned Nigoron to attend Monster Firearms Company’s reopening, then discovered a bronze plaque summoning him to testify in the Princess Namir Rebellion Case. As he considered whether to accept, the plaque let him hear Justice Attendant Kodokus condemn Dineola and an opposing voice insist she was innocent.

• Tang Qi examined the transforming bullet token and learned it was Monster Firearms Company’s invitation, created by the returning Nigoron.
• Tang Qi decided to accept the company’s reopening invitation, partly out of interest in item forging and gratitude for Blood Python No. 1.
• Tang Qi inspected a bronze plaque from the Court of Justice and learned Princess Namir had requested him as a witness in her rebellion case.
• Tang Qi weighed the risks of testifying before hearing Justice Attendant Kodokus declare Dineola guilty and request her immediate execution.
• Tang Qi heard another voice reject Kodokus’s case and insist that Dineola was innocent without offering a reason.

Tang Qi learned that Dineola, a Namer Tribe princess accused of killing the Omos King and thousands of Omos People, had been summoned to the Court of Justice, and Rose Madeline asked him to help defend her. New evidence accused Dineola of killing her husband Arthur Babakus out of jealousy, prompting Tang Qi and Rose to travel to the court as witnesses.

• Tang Qi received a Justice Bronze Plaque and learned that Dineola had killed the Omos King but denied killing the thousands of other Omos People.
• Rose Madeline arrived and asked Tang Qi to support Dineola, explaining that Dineola had saved her and was her close friend.
• The Symbol of the Dissenter changed its stance after Kodokus submitted new evidence from Omos Queen Neva, who accused Dineola of murdering the Omos King and her own husband, Arthur Babakus.
• Tang Qi decided to attend the trial with Rose and took her aboard the Ship of Fools.
• Tang Qi and Rose activated their plaques, accepted the court's terms as witnesses, and sailed through a portal toward the Court of Justice.

Tang Qi and Rose Madeline arrived on Omos Star to testify in Dineola’s trial, where the Omos People demanded her death for killing their king. Tang Qi’s blunt question enraged Dineola, who endured the cage’s punishment to insist that she had not killed Arthur.

• Tang Qi and Rose Madeline arrived on Omos Star, resisted the planet’s pressure, and saw the alien spectators and the court of eighteen Judges.
• Tang Qi recognized the imprisoned Dineola as a Demigod and learned that Omos Queen Neva and Arthur were her husband’s sister and husband.
• The Chief Judge identified Tang Qi and Rose as Dineola’s final witnesses and told them to begin before time ran out.
• The Omos People shouted for Dineola’s execution while the Namer Tribe remained quiet, and Dineola’s power subsided at their reaction.
• Tang Qi asked Dineola what she had been jealous of, provoking her to surge with divine power and trigger the cage’s punishment.
• Dineola endured the thunder-and-war punishment and told Tang Qi that she had not killed Arthur.

Tang Qi and Rose learned that Neva had framed Dineola for the deaths of Arthur, the Old Omos King, and thousands of guards, but the evidence and divination in court all supported Neva’s account. As the court approached sentencing, Tang Qi declared Dineola innocent and tried to reach Neva, only to be blocked by Kodokus, a Justice Titan.

• Dineola said Arthur had been killed by the Old Omos King after the king caught him in a relationship with his sister Neva, and admitted that she had killed only the Old Omos King.
• Tang Qi and Rose concluded that Neva had killed the Omos guards and blamed Dineola to conceal the affair and eliminate her rival.
• Dineola pointed to the Omos evidence, including the bodies of Arthur and the Old Omos King and the Sword of Vesta, while her own evidence platform stood empty.
• Rose questioned Dineola about the trial, and Dineola revealed that court divination supported Neva and that she had cursed Gatis without realizing a Justice Titan understood Namer Language.
• Tang Qi announced that Dineola was innocent and headed toward Neva, but Kodokus blocked him and demanded to know what he intended to do.

Tang Qi questioned the Omos Queen Neva as he sought a direct way to overturn Dineola’s trial, while his identity as a Furnace Witch King caused alarm throughout the Court of Justice. The chapter ended as Neva met Tang Qi’s gaze and unleashed her seductive charm before he could use Omniscience.

• Tang Qi asked the Chief Judge for permission to question Neva, and the Justice Titan allowed him to proceed.
• Information about Rose Madeline and Tang Qi spread through the court, and the judges and spectators reacted to Rose’s ties to the Ancient Observer and Tang Qi’s fearsome reputation.
• Dineola watched Tang Qi with eager fighting spirit, while Rose urged her to reveal evidence of the relationship between Arthur and Neva.
• Tang Qi walked toward Neva, who greeted him with gentle, seductive friendliness and affected him before he could use Omniscience.

Tang Qi used Omniscience to uncover Neva’s secrets and learned how she had used Ozymandias’s mask to fake Arthur’s death and frame Dineola. He turned from the witness stand and urged a Treant Judge to scourge Neva, offering to provide a better instrument of torture.

• Tang Qi broke Neva’s enchantment and used Omniscience to expose her mixed bloodlines and plans to gain power through the Omos and Namir.
• Tang Qi discovered that Neva loved her younger brother, Arthur Babakus, and had used the Mask of the Deceiver to alter the events surrounding Old Omos King’s death.
• Neva swallowed the still-living Arthur, caused the Omos guards to slaughter one another, and arranged a false corpse bearing wounds from Dineola’s Sword of Vesta.
• Neva removed the mask and declared that she would carry Arthur again, while Tang Qi realized her deception had fooled the Court of Justice.
• Tang Qi noticed that Neva was nurturing a mixed-blood male witch and asked a Treant Judge whether he had ever used Thorn Scourge on a witness.

Tang Qi persuaded the Dissenter's Stone Statue to reopen Dineola’s trial and test the testimony of both sides with the Truth Thorn. The treant judge struck Dineola with it, beginning the examination as the court watched.

• Tang Qi objected to using Thorn Scourge on Dineola, and the treant judge agreed that she did not qualify for punishment under the court’s rules.
• Dineola’s case seemed hopeless as the Dissenter’s Stone Statue neared agreement with the court, while Neva mocked her from the witness stand.
• Tang Qi used information about the Truth Thorn to persuade the Dissenter’s Stone Statue to order an honesty examination of Dineola and Neva.
• The court approved Tang Qi’s Truth Thorn as a valid instrument for Thorn Scourge, and the treant judge struck Dineola with it.

Dineola’s scourging restored her strength and compelled her to reveal the truth about the king’s death, while Neva’s first strike exposed her guilt. When Tang Qi stopped Neva from escaping with Ozymandias’ Mask, her belly suddenly swelled with a pregnancy, leaving the court and Omos People stunned.

• Dineola took the Truth Thorn’s scourging, regained her strength, insulted the court, and admitted killing the Old Omos King in fair combat while denying she killed Arthur or the royal guards.
• The treant Judge scourged Neva, breaking through her confidence and disguises and forcing her to confess that she had done it all.
• Tang Qi saw Neva use Ozymandias’ Mask to try to escape and told the treant Judge to whip her again.
• The second strike split Ozymandias’ Mask, but Neva’s abdomen abruptly swelled and a heartbeat sounded within it.
• The Omos People argued that Neva’s pregnancy might preserve the royal bloodline, while Neva calmed and cradled her belly with a maternal glow.

Tang Qi submitted True Love Fable as new evidence, prompting the Court of Justice to force Neva to give birth in court. The newborn was Arthur Babakus, a half-blood rather than the pure-blooded royal heir the Omos Tribe had hoped for.

• Neva's apparent pregnancy softened the audience's hostility, but Tang Qi recognized that the child was her brother, Arthur Babakus.
• Tang Qi presented True Love Fable to the Dissenter's Stone Statue, which ordered an Honesty Examination and premature delivery for Neva.
• The judges formed a tree house around Neva's stand, and the Lake Fairy used True Love Fable to summon a projection of Ispatranie.
• Neva stopped resisting and pleaded with Ispatranie to spare the child, while the goddess's power enabled Arthur Babakus's birth.
• The newborn's cry revealed mixed bloodlines, confirming to the Omos Tribe that he was not a pure-blooded royal heir.

The Court of Justice delivered its final judgment in the murder case involving the Omos and Namer Tribes. Dineola was expelled from the Namer Tribe, while Neva and Arthur Babakus were found guilty and faced a series of brutal punishments.

• The Chief Judge announced that Neva and Arthur Babakus had killed the Old Omos King and thousands of royal guards, and that Neva had framed Dineola while carrying Arthur’s child.
• The eighteen Judges began their final deliberations as Tang Qi watched the proceedings and drew the audience’s attention for helping Dineola turn the trial around.
• The Justice Titan found Dineola guilty of killing the Old Omos King and expelled her from the Namer Tribe, allowing her to take her War Guards with her.
• The Justice Titan found Neva and Arthur Babakus guilty of killing the Old Omos King and thousands of Omos People, violating the Mystic War Protocol, and desecrating the Sea Goddess and the Court of Justice.
• The Justice Titan sentenced Neva and Arthur Babakus to the Namer Tribe’s Torture of Suffering and Justice Pyre, stripped them of their bloodlines, and condemned them to be dismembered by the Omos Tribe and fed to the Omos Frog God.

After Neva and Arthur were sentenced, Tang Qi left Omos Star with Dineola and Rose, carrying a lifetime free-admission medal from the Court of Justice. Their journey was interrupted when the Fairy Tribe surrounded the Ship of Fools, and Wilnas Sprite recognized them as its kin.

• The Fairy Tribe gathered around the Ship of Fools, and Wilnas Sprite woke and recognized the approaching creatures as its kin.

Tang Qi and the others were surrounded by a vast gathering of fairy tribes, and Rose identified and recorded the rare species among them. A domineering Legendary Rank Odin Gray Sprite then demanded that Tang Qi hand over Willnas the Little Fairy.

• Eight more powerful fairies arrived and scrutinized Tang Qi while Rose identified their tribes and abilities.
• A Legendary Rank Odin Gray Sprite appeared, pointed at Willnas, and ordered Tang Qi to hand it over.

Tang Qi intimidated the Fairy Army after Odin Gray Sprite challenged him, then heard the Phoenix Old Sprite ask to take Willnas the Little Fairy away to help with their transformation. Willnas refused to leave Tang Qi, leaving the request unresolved.

• Odin Gray Sprite challenged Tang Qi, who transformed into the Furnace God of War and flicked Odin away when they kept pushing.

• The little one refused to join the fairies, and Ainia Silver Scale stopped Odin Gray Sprite from attacking Tang Qi.
• Phoenix told the little one that its father was alive in a dangerous place and explained that the Fairy Kingdom was the fairies' homeland.
• Phoenix gave Tang Qi eight genuine pages from the Book of Fairies, which Tang Qi passed to Rose Madeline to read.
• Tang Qi asked what was happening in the Fairy Kingdom, and Phoenix answered that war was destroying their homeland.

Phoenix explained that the fairies were gathering pages of the Illustrated Journal of Fairies to enter the Fairy Kingdom’s war against Arthur Grace and the Demon Fairies. Tang Qi challenged their resolve by unleashing the Furnace Witch King’s aura and grabbing Phoenix, prompting Ainia Silver Scale to charge at him.

• Rose described how fairies had long been captured and exploited, and Phoenix revealed that Willnas’s mother had died for the Fairy Race’s cause while his father fought in the Fairy Kingdom.
• Phoenix explained that the journal’s pages had become keys to the Fairy Kingdom, allowing fairies to join the war against the Demon Fairies and Dark Forces.
• Tang Qi discovered that the fallen King of Fairies had infused the journal with power and that Arthur Grace had become the King of Demon Fairies and invaded the kingdom.
• Tang Qi summoned the Furnace Legion’s destructive aura, terrifying the fairy army, then seized Phoenix and questioned whether the fairies were brave enough to fight.
• Ainia Silver Scale charged at Tang Qi and shouted for him to let go of her grandpa.

Tang Qi fought the sprites as a demigod Furnace Witch King, transformed them into sheep, and pretended to torment Phoenix to provoke them. The flock defied the Transformation Curse and charged him, leaving their confrontation unresolved.

• Ainia Silver Scale led eight Legendary sprites in an attack on Tang Qi, while Phoenix revealed that he understood Tang Qi's intentions and asked him not to kill him.
• Tang Qi fought off the sprites, then the Milke Dark Fiend and Mumu Sprite immobilized and transformed him before Ketoja Red Eye and Odin Gray Sprite struck him with their attacks.
• Tang Qi unleashed his Furnace Body, broke free of the magic, and overwhelmed the attackers with his demigod power.
• Tang Qi cast a Transformation Curse that turned the sprites into sheep, then burned Phoenix's disguise to make the flock believe he was in danger.
