Chapter Summaries

Fang Zheng and his companions explored a strange underground ruin that Fina identified as belonging to the Goddess of Order, though its twisting architecture unsettled him. As they investigated the empty cavern, the walls activated and Nymph detected a high-energy reaction below.

• Fang Zheng questioned whether the bizarre, curved designs in the cavern could really belong to a Goddess, and Fina explained that they represented the Goddess of Order.
• Fang Zheng landed the stealth bomber on a platform and arranged for Iona and Javelin to guard the rear while he led the group.
• Fang Zheng surveyed the cavern and wondered what large device its suspended platforms had once connected to.
• The patterns on the walls began rotating and fired beams of light around the group.
• Nymph detected a high-energy reaction coming from below.

Fang Zheng and his companions passed the Goddess of Order’s scan and descended through an enormous elevator whose operation baffled Nymph. The elevator opened onto a chamber where several strange creatures emerged to greet them.

• The glowing patterns scanned Fang Zheng and his companions, then lit the underground space as their platform began to descend.
• Nymph analyzed the elevator and told Fang Zheng that it reached its destination without any discernible process leading to the result.
• Fang Zheng wondered how the Goddess of Order could wield power that seemed to skip the usual rules of cause and effect.
• The elevator stopped, and several round, tailed creatures rolled out through its opening and approached Fang Zheng and the others.

Fang Zheng and his companions encountered adorable artificial biomechanical balls in the Goddess of Order's ruins, and Javelin discovered that they loved being kicked. After Fina explained that the balls were the Goddess's messengers, Fang Zheng led the group onward, expecting the exploration to be stranger than he had imagined.

• Nymph identified the chirping balls as artificial biomechanical lifeforms similar to Artificial Angels.
• Fina and the others found the balls cute, and Javelin began juggling one with her feet.
• Javelin kicked a ball into a wall, but the other balls gathered around her and rubbed against her feet instead of attacking.
• Fang Zheng told Javelin to kick them again, and she launched the eager balls into the air with a powerful volley.
• Fina explained that the Goddess of Order had used the balls to convey divine revelations, and Fang Zheng continued deeper into the ruins.

Fang Zheng and his companions opened a hidden room after Fina deciphered the crystals that served as a lock. The room appeared empty, but when Fina entered, the door slammed shut and everyone plunged into darkness.

• Fang Zheng followed the little spheres through a passage lined with holes and reached a metal door marked with crystals.
• Fina read the crystals by resonating with them, while Nymph identified the lock as a biological-energy frequency exchange.
• Fina said there was no seal or danger behind the door but hesitated to explain what was inside.
• Fina opened the door, and Fang Zheng and his companions found an empty room.
• When Fina stepped into the room, the door slammed shut and Fang Zheng and the others fell into darkness.

Fang Zheng and Nymph landed in a luxurious pool after the room's order stripped away their clothes, and they discovered the Goddess had apparently forbidden clothing. They found Iona, Javelin, and a deeply embarrassed Fina in the water, with Fina pleading for Fang Zheng not to approach.

• Fang Zheng surfaced in a luxurious pool and rescued Nymph, who could not swim.
• Fang Zheng and Nymph discovered that their clothes vanished and could not be recreated because the room prohibited clothing.
• Nymph located Iona, Javelin, and Fina in the pool, and Fang Zheng swam over with her.
• Iona and Javelin greeted Fang Zheng while Fina blushed, hid behind them, and begged him not to come closer.

Fang Zheng and the others searched the Goddess of Order’s bathhouse for a way out after learning that her message was merely an invitation to relax. They found a strange button, but pressing it unleashed a whirlpool that swept them away.

• Fang Zheng cast Darkness Spells to cover himself and the girls, then asked Fina what she knew about the place.
• Fina recited the Goddess of Order’s message about enjoying the hot spring, resting, and playing with the Bobbie maintenance workers, but admitted it gave no instructions for escaping.
• Fang Zheng searched the bathhouse and found that his divination and teleportation spells could not overcome the interference blocking them.
• Iona found a large circular gemstone embedded in the wall, and Fang Zheng pressed it.
• A whirlpool erupted and swept Fang Zheng, Fina, Nymph, Iona, and Javelin away.

After being thrown into an underground sewer with Iona, Fang Zheng searched for Nymph, Javelin, and Fina while reassuring Iona that he would not abandon her. Nymph then detected a powerful signal that might belong to the Goddess's Guardian, and Fang Zheng hurried toward it.

• Fang Zheng and Iona were flung into a sewer, while Nymph reported that she, Javelin, and Fina had landed elsewhere and were unharmed.
• Fang Zheng found that teleportation was blocked and followed a chain that pointed toward his separated companions.
• Iona asked Fang Zheng whether she had stopped being useful, and he reassured her that she and the other Mental Models helped protect Heavenly Dao Palace and that he would not abandon her.
• Nymph detected a powerful nearby signal that might belong to the Goddess's Guardian, and Fang Zheng told her not to act rashly as he rushed to join her.

Fang Zheng and his companions found the Giant of Light in the underground waterways and watched it disappear through a Teleportation Gate. After Nymph confirmed the gate led to the surface near the Land of Chaos, Fang Zheng ordered her to activate it and take them there.

• Fang Zheng found Nymph, Javelin, and Fina, then led them toward the Giant of Light.
• The group discovered the armored Giant of Light in a vast chamber beneath the sewers.
• The Giant of Light vanished through a Teleportation Gate set into a wall.
• Nymph analyzed the gate and determined it could be activated and led to the surface near the Land of Chaos.
• Fang Zheng ordered Nymph to activate the Teleportation Gate and get the group out of the underground waterways.

Fang Zheng reached a snow-covered complex where a Giant of Light was fighting Chaos Monsters, and he ordered reinforcements while Nymph analyzed its energy. After the Giant of Light was overwhelmed by an Octopus Lord, Sea Fog Warships arrived and attacked the creature.

• Fang Zheng arrived at the blizzard-swept complex and watched the Giant of Light destroy the Chaos Monsters surrounding it.
• Fang Zheng ordered Iona and Javelin to bring reinforcements and told them to summon Knight Commander Wells.

• Iona and Javelin attacked the Octopus Lord as it tried to retreat with the Giant of Light, and Javelin trapped it in a net of light.
• Fang Zheng ordered the Probes to build Crystal Towers, and the spreading Power of Order drew the Octopus Lord's attention.
• The Octopus Lord attacked Fang Zheng and the Probes, but Fang Zheng cut its descending tentacles with First Sword.
• The Crystal Towers enabled Unicorn, Darkness, and Terror to warp in, and their forces battered the Octopus Lord.
• The Octopus Lord abandoned its defense and tore at the Giant of Light, then plunged to the ground with it and caused a huge explosion.

Fang Zheng recovered a strange, shape-stable gemstone from the Giant of Light’s wreckage and arranged to leave the Northern Lands to the Holy Temple, asking only for Spirit Crystal mining rights and protection for his base. After returning to Heavenly Dao Palace, he headed to the Iron-Blooded World to deal with the Zerg’s EMP.

• Fang Zheng sent Javelin to collect the Giant of Light’s wreckage and found a hexagonal gemstone whose properties and colors kept changing while its shape remained fixed.
• Nymph identified the gemstone as a physical material held in place by surface rules, and Fang Zheng ordered it taken to the base for study.
• Fang Zheng told Bishop Karl he would leave the Northern Lands to the Holy Temple, requesting mining rights to any Spirit Crystal veins and protection for his temporary base.
• Bishop Karl agreed, and Fang Zheng left Rodney, Darkness, and Terror behind in the Northern Lands while bringing everyone else back to Heavenly Dao Palace.
• Fang Zheng went to the Iron-Blooded World to address the Zerg’s EMP.

Fang Zheng inspected a new Zerg aerial unit designed to fight Godzilla-sized monsters and approved its design. The Cursed Children who helped create it named it Kraken, and Fang Zheng accepted the name.

• Fang Zheng asked Milune about the heavy aerial unit he had ordered her to create for the future battle against Godzilla.
• Milune presented a nearly ninety-meter-long Zerg creature built for agile movement through air and water, with heavy armor and deadly close-combat weapons.
• Milune explained that the Cursed Children had contributed suggestions, and Fang Zheng thanked them for helping shape the unit.
• Fang Zheng let the Hydralisk girl and her companions choose the creature's name.
• The Hydralisk girl proposed Kraken, and Fang Zheng declared that the unit would be called Kraken.

Fang Zheng gambled on a random sci-fi world selection while hoping to reach Godzilla’s world, then received an Equipment Soul Stone and a powerful Fantasy Soul Stone. He ended the chapter convinced that the new Soul Stone would make his next journey worthwhile.

• Fang Zheng discovered that the Sci-Fi World Designated Scroll only let him choose a primary attribute, so he could not guarantee a visit to Godzilla’s world.
• Fang Zheng washed his face and hands before making a ten-pull summon to improve his luck.
• Fang Zheng obtained an unfamiliar Equipment Soul Stone that triggered the Sleeping Soul activation quest.
• Fang Zheng summoned the Fantasy Soul Stone of Star Forging Dragon King—Aurelion Sol and witnessed its cosmic power.
• Fang Zheng read Aurelion Sol’s abilities and celebrated, believing the Soul Stone would be valuable even if he missed Godzilla’s world.

Fang Zheng arrived in a world where Kaiju attacked humanity and discovered that Godzilla was part of its history. After finding only limited information online, he hacked into the Pentagon and uncovered the Emperor Plan.

• Fang Zheng entered a ruined area in the United States and learned from a police officer that Kaiju had destroyed it.
• Fang Zheng left the ruins and found people treating monsters as entertainment in a lively West Coast city.
• Fang Zheng researched the world and learned that Kaiju emerged from an undersea interdimensional channel, while humanity fought them with giant Jericho Mecha hunters.
• Fang Zheng used the Information Invasion ability he had copied from Nymph to access the Pentagon's database.
• Fang Zheng found documents about the Emperor Plan and smiled at the discovery.

Fang Zheng hacked into the Emperor Plan’s records, learned about Skull Island and its giant monsters, and flew there to investigate and establish a possible Zerg base. He found Kongo and challenged the giant ape, preparing to fight with the power of the Dragon of Time.

• Fang Zheng discovered that the Monarch Organization’s Emperor Plan tracked giant monsters and had recorded Kongo and other creatures on Skull Island.
• Fang Zheng chose Skull Island as a place to investigate and potentially build a Zerg base.
• Fang Zheng flew invisibly to Southeast Asia, found the island, and crossed its storm clouds into a lush interior.
• Fang Zheng landed on a stone peak and looked for Kongo, but Kongo hurled a giant tree at him.
• Kongo emerged from the forest, roared, and pounded his chest as Fang Zheng roared back and switched the Soul Stone in preparation for battle.

Fang Zheng fought Kongo after discovering that the giant ape resisted most of his magic and temporal powers. Their battle turned into a physical struggle, ending with Fang Zheng stabbing Kongo’s right eye with his tail spike.

• Fang Zheng tried Plundering Breath and Expelling Breath against Kongo, but both failed to affect it.
• Fang Zheng struck Kongo with lightning, a Death Cloud, and a wind elemental lord, discovering that Kongo had extraordinary Magic Resistance and was most vulnerable to physical attacks.
• Fang Zheng, angered by Kongo’s contempt, attacked it directly with his claws and fangs, using shadow-like movement to evade its counterattacks.
• Kongo grabbed Fang Zheng and tried to pin him down, but Fang Zheng drove the spike on his tail into Kongo’s right eye.

Fang Zheng defeated Kongo by using Expelling Breath to make a stone mountain disappear and return through her body, then absorbed her Power of Time and World Source. After evolving, he awoke as a Mature Dragon more than a hundred meters long, with his Time Manipulation upgraded to B-rank.

• Fang Zheng tricked Kongo into falling where he had banished a stone mountain, then brought the mountain back and impaled her.
• Fang Zheng used Plundering Breath on the dying Kongo and absorbed her Power of Time and World Source.
• Fang Zheng summoned Lurana, Drones, and Zerg troops, ordered them to build a hidden base and protect him, then fell asleep to evolve.
• Fang Zheng's genes expanded as the absorbed power merged into his body, causing intense pain during his evolution.
• Fang Zheng awoke over a hundred meters long, having advanced from Young Dragon to Mature Dragon and raised Time Manipulation from C-rank to B-rank.

Fang Zheng learned that Skull Island’s giant creatures could grow enormous thanks to a special cellular structure and ordered tests on Mutalisks. At Monarch headquarters, James learned that MUTO had escaped in Japan and prepared to leave immediately.

• Lurana explained to Fang Zheng that Skull Island’s giant creatures had cells that secreted a hormone allowing other tissues to grow without strain, though greater size could reduce reproduction.
• Fang Zheng decided to test the cellular fluid on Mutalisks as the first step toward creating a dragon army.
• James received reports of tremors near Skull Island and decided to lead an expedition there himself.
• A subordinate informed James that MUTO had awakened and escaped from its facility in Japan.
• James learned that the emergency measures had failed, received headquarters’ order to depart, and prepared to leave immediately.

Fang Zheng tracked MUTO to Hawaii to study its EMP ability and watched it begin fighting Godzilla. As MUTO started to flee, Fang Zheng prepared to make a dramatic entrance.

• Fang Zheng learned that MUTO had awakened and traveled to Hawaii with Kraken and several Mutalisks.
• Fang Zheng’s Mutalisks found MUTO eating nuclear warheads, and he watched Monarch helicopters and military aircraft attack it.
• MUTO unleashed an EMP that disabled the aircraft, confirming Fang Zheng’s interest in its electromagnetic ability.
• Godzilla emerged from the sea and fought MUTO while Fang Zheng imagined the battle as a martial-arts duel.
• Fang Zheng saw MUTO lose ground and prepare to retreat, then straightened his clothes and readied his entrance.

Fang Zheng arrived with his Swarm during the battle between Godzilla and MUTO, overwhelming MUTO while a Kraken fought Godzilla to a standstill. James recognized Fang Zheng as intelligent and set out by helicopter to try to communicate with him, while Fang Zheng watched the approaching aircraft and considered what to do next.

• James received a radar report of multiple unidentified heat signatures and saw Fang Zheng emerge from the clouds with Mutalisks and Krakens.
• Fang Zheng landed on a coastal hill and sent Mutalisks after MUTO and Krakens after Godzilla.
• The Mutalisks overwhelmed MUTO, and Fang Zheng ordered them to capture it alive if possible.
• A Kraken grappled with Godzilla, but neither monster gained the upper hand because the Kraken's land-combat abilities were limited.
• James persuaded the general to provide a helicopter so he could approach Fang Zheng and attempt to communicate.
• Fang Zheng noticed the helicopter approaching and regarded its arrival with amusement.
