Chapter Summaries

Komuro Takashi and the others reunited with Minami Rika, who revealed that humanity was nearly extinct after The Dead began infecting people from afar and worldwide natural disasters ravaged Earth. The narrator promised to evacuate the remaining survivors and learned that the planet’s devastation was spreading on a catastrophic scale.

• Minami Rika said the outbreaks spread faster in densely populated areas, leading the remaining survivors to flee in small groups to remote wilderness.
• Minami Rika reported that earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and thunderstorms had devastated the world, including Mount Fuji’s transformation into a lava lake.
• The narrator agreed to take humanity’s last survivors away and wondered whether Deathwing had caused the catastrophic disasters.

Chen and the fleet began evacuating Earth’s scattered survivors after discovering that civilization had nearly been wiped out, with only about three hundred thousand people left. As rescue operations spread worldwide, Chen sensed a dangerous force stirring beneath the planet and feared a greater catastrophe was imminent.

• Minami Rika explained that fear of infection had left many refugees refusing food, and Chen threatened to extract their brains if they would not cooperate.
• The Gemini battlecruiser arrived, and Minami Rika organized the refugees to board the rescue ships.
• Chen ordered the fleet to delay medical operations and search across Earth for survivors, while the Gemini remained as a shelter and Marine Corps teams deployed under Psionic Shields.
• Minami Rika saw the interstellar fleet and grieved that humanity’s civilization had collapsed; Chen estimated that no more than three hundred thousand people remained.
• Major General Lawrence reported an earthquake and abnormal energy readings in an American Fracture Zone, so Chen sent Shilin Special Agents and warned the fleet to keep away.
• Chen sensed restless energy pulsing beneath Earth as evacuation reports arrived and wondered what Lin Xue had foreseen.

The narrator realized Earth’s disasters resembled extreme Abyssal infection, though his sensors detected no Abyss Energy and fewer than 270,000 human survivors had been found. He brought Laura Stuart to calm the traumatized refugees, then learned Suigintou was displeased by newly discovered survivors from underground shelters.

• The narrator recognized that Earth’s disasters resembled limit infection but found no Abyss Reaction, while rescue teams had recovered fewer than 270,000 survivors.

• Suigintou appeared on the narrator’s shoulder and said she disliked Laura, then explained that newly discovered underground survivors had upset her.
• The narrator learned that the shelters contained valuable scientists as well as wealthy and politically powerful people whom Suigintou found disgusting.

After the refugee search ended, Chen prepared to settle humanity’s 287,355 survivors on Mars and destroy Earth to contain the suspected Abyss. Earth began violently collapsing as a highly condensed Abyss Gate appeared, and Chen ordered the refugees evacuated while the fleet faced the emerging threat.

• Chen isolated the remaining human elites after rejecting their demands to reclaim leadership and impose their political and religious agendas.
• On the third day, the Global Refugee Search set humanity’s surviving population at 287,355, and Chen arranged for the refugees to live in a colony near Mars’s equator.
• Chen deployed EOP-03 to purify Earth, explaining to Komuro Takashi and his group that the Abyss might still threaten humanity on the planet.
• The fleet detected a highly condensed Abyss Gate as Earth’s atmosphere, oceans, and crust began to collapse under overwhelming energy.
• Chen ordered the refugees transferred to Mars, but someone firmly declared that they would not leave.

Chen ordered the evacuation of Earth’s refugees and prepared the Empire Fleet to confront an emerging Abyss Gate, while Busujima Saeko and Suigintou refused to leave the command fleet. After EOP-03 melted Earth and delayed the Gate’s emergence, the Abyss took shape as untouchable shadows, and the fleet began trapping and firing on the resulting black spheres.

• Busujima Saeko admitted she had known Chen’s plan and insisted on staying to fight, while Chen ordered the refugee ships to withdraw and warned the New Eden Federation fleet not to fire early.
• Suigintou also refused to leave, saying she would stay because Chen was the only one who would help her return home, but Chen sent her through a teleporter to the Mars Shelter.
• Chen ordered EOP-03 to strike Earth, and the bomb melted the planet and destroyed its biosphere as 280,000 refugees watched and evacuated through spatial gates.
• Earth transformed into a vast molten sphere, and Abyss Energy emerged as two-dimensional shadows while the Abyss Gate’s reaction persisted.
• Chen ordered the deployment of spatial trappers, which turned the shadows into black spheres that charged the fleet, and the Imperial and New Eden forces opened fire.

Jun led the battered Empire Admiral and a small militia fleet against an unusually powerful Abyss Gate, struggling to protect the forces and humans at Mars Shelter as the enemy overwhelmed their defenses. After the fleet exposed the Abyssalized barrier around the gate, Lin Xue arrived with the Imperial Royal Guard and a vast Empire Fleet, turning the battle’s balance.

• Jun ordered the fleet to keep deploying Captors to contain the Abyss Gate’s energy, even as the corrupted Captors became black spheres that attacked his ships.
• As allied warships lost shields and combat capability, Jun ordered the surviving Federation forces to retreat and committed the Empire Admiral’s Avengers and Assault Ships to hold off the spheres.
• Jun commanded the Empire Admiral to fire its three main guns at the Abyss Gate’s position, blasting away much of Earth’s Abyssalized mantle and exposing a hollow barrier while the gate itself remained outside the Prime Material Plane.
• Jun called for Wood, and Lin Xue answered as the Imperial Royal Guard approached.
• Lin Xue greeted Jun while a vast Empire Fleet emerged from the dark cosmos, surrounding the Abyss Gate.

Sandora and the Empire Fleet joined A Jun’s forces and destroyed the Abyss Gate’s defenses, but a hidden attack emerged from the explosion and threatened the flagship. A Jun ordered the Shipboard Mainframe to teleport him and the incoming attack away, leaving him alone in an unfamiliar region of space.

• Sandora arrived with an Empire Fleet, took command of the battle, and reassured A Jun that the flagship had suffered limited damage.
• The Empire Fleet bombarded the Abyss Gate, destroyed the surrounding aberrations, and damaged the barrier covering the black sphere where Earth had been.
• Sandora, Lin Xue, and A Jun’s friends and family gathered on the flagship to watch the attack, while the Shipboard Mainframe warned that the barrier’s collapse would trigger an energy shockwave.
• After the sphere exploded, Lin Xue sensed something moving inside the blast and warned everyone not to deactivate the barrier.
• A law-destroying attack surged toward the flagship, so A Jun ordered the Shipboard Mainframe to teleport him and the incoming energy mass away together.

After being flung into deep space, Lin Xian fought a silver-haired Abyss-infected woman who wielded Death Decree and could shatter space. He realized she might have once been a god of the Star Domain God Race, and the chapter left him bombarding her as she channeled a powerful holy skill that he could not interrupt.

• Lin Xian found himself stranded in deep space after the transmission and discovered an Abyss creature hiding in the black fog nearby.
• The creature attacked Lin Xian, who countered with Hyperspace Strike and shattered her golden shield, revealing a silver-haired, red-eyed woman.
• The woman used Death Decree and attacks that shattered space, while Lin Xian blocked her with Void Energy and fought back with Void Burst and Hyperspace cannons.
• Lin Xian drew the woman across space, laying explosive Void Passage traps as she pursued him toward a nearby star.
• The woman invoked Holy Authority Descends From Heaven and revealed Divine Light while claiming she had once been allied with the Shilin People and the Star Domain.
• Lin Xian unleashed a barrage of attacks to stop her ultimate skill, but she declared that her godlike state made her immune to interruption.

Chen Jun transformed himself into a Void Creature to fight a corrupted former high-level god whose holy light was causing the universe to collapse. He suppressed the Abyss inside her and returned to the universe with her, but his left hand was ruined and he could no longer move as the Rogue approached.

• The transforming woman explained that her holy light had seized control of matter across the universe and would trigger a collapse centered on Chen Jun.
• Chen Jun told Sandora that a High-level True God was threatening the universe and asked Avalon to suppress potential world rifts.

• Chen Jun found his left hand ruined and himself unable to move as the Rogue approached him.

Chen Jun recovered after defeating Viska, a Dark God Race woman who had been sealed with an Abyss Gate for tens of millions of years. Viska joined him as the Empire Fleet arrived, leaving Chen Jun to prepare to introduce the unpredictable former goddess to his allies.

• Viska explained that she had sacrificed her body to seal an Abyss Gate and had been trapped with it until the weakening seals let the Abyss take control of her.
• Viska healed Chen Jun’s injuries and revealed that she was a Dark God Race member who had accidentally enrolled in a holy-light program and graduated as a Light Goddess.
• Viska recalled a foolish Life Goddess who had applied for the God of War Program, prompting Chen Jun to think of Ding Dang while recognizing the timeline did not match.
• Sandora and Older Sister reestablished contact with Chen Jun, who told them the spatial rift had stabilized and described what had happened.
• The Empire Fleet arrived, and Viska worried that it might retaliate for her earlier attack on its defenses.

After A Jun returned to the Empire Admiral, Sandora recognized Viska as an old friend she had believed dead, and the two reunited while arguing over Viska’s past exploits and unpaid debt. A Jun recounted his battle, endured Older Sister’s worried lecture, and woke from a long rest to find Little Pao Pao and the Hero King beside his bed.

• Viska followed A Jun onto the Empire Admiral and asked him to cover for her, but Sandora recognized her as Xiayimaer, a friend from more than twenty million years ago.

• A Jun woke to find Little Pao Pao sitting on his stomach and the Hero King asleep on the floor, then ordered the Hero King to use the bed.

After waking in Mars orbit, Chen Jun heard Viska’s plans to return to the God Realm and received her warning to treat Sandora well. He then descended to the Mars shelter city with the Empire’s leaders, where the cheering refugees welcomed their apparent saviors.

• Qian Qian snatched Little Pao Pao from Chen Jun and made her cry before Older Sister prepared him to meet the refugees.
• Viska explained that the humans on Mars had evolved from energy connected to her and said she would return to protect them after settling affairs in the God Realm.
• Viska called Chen Jun her friend and warned him to treat Sandora well; Chen Jun promised he would rather enter an Abyss Gate than cause Sandora harm.
• Sandora, Qian Qian, and Older Sister forced Chen Jun into his Royal Dress before he joined the others on the descent to the Mars shelter.
• Laura explained that she had used footage of the Empire Fleet’s battle to inspire the refugees, who cheered as Chen Jun and his companions arrived.

After returning from the battle, A Jun helped arrange the refugees in Mars Shelter and retrieved Suigintou from a blast shelter. Back at the shuttle bay, he learned where the survivors planned to make their new homes, while Busujima Saeko asked to remain by his side.

• Siweisi explained that Mars Shelter could house refugees immediately, and A Jun warned that its computer-run society should not become a permanent way of life.
• A Jun remembered Suigintou and found her waiting in the blast shelter, where she scolded him for leaving her behind before falling asleep on his shoulder.
• A Jun reunited with Busujima Saeko, Komuro Takashi, and the other survivors at the shuttle bay and offered them a choice between Mars Shelter and Shadow City.
• Marikawa Shizuka, Komuro Takashi, and Miyamoto Rei chose Mars Shelter, while Takagi Saya and the others chose Shadow City.
• Busujima Saeko asked to stay by A Jun's side so she could repay his kindness, and Qian Qian bit his arm in response.

After returning from the disastrous trip, A Jun reassured Lin Xue that he did not blame her for failing to foresee the danger. While recovering in a hot bath, he discovered Anweina and Ding Dang had both found ways to intrude, and the bath’s mysterious energy was restoring his strength.

• A Jun returned home, where Lin Xue apologized for not seeing more of the danger he faced, and he told her it was not her fault.
• A Jun soaked in a hot bath and reflected that he had defeated only the Abyss Energy attached to Viska, who had ultimately stopped on her own.
• Anweina entered the bath to offer to scrub A Jun’s back, but he insisted she leave.
• A Jun realized the bathwater was rapidly replenishing his mental strength and repairing his soul.
• Ding Dang swam into the bath, and A Jun threw her out through the window before she returned through the ventilation fan.

Ding Dang explained that A Jun’s body and soul were still dangerously separated after he became a Void Creature, so she decided to stay with him constantly to help him recover. Suigintou caught A Jun and Ding Dang hiding the bathroom incident, broke a tooth while biting him, and secured his promise to grant her a future wish before explaining why she had moved into his room.

• Ding Dang told A Jun that Void Energy had nearly separated his body and soul, and insisted on staying with him around the clock to speed his recovery.
• A Jun and Ding Dang tried to keep their bathroom encounter secret, but Suigintou emerged from her box and called him a pervert after seeing Ding Dang in her swimsuit.
• Suigintou threatened to expose A Jun, and he grabbed and shook her until she bit his arm and broke half a canine tooth.
• A Jun promised to grant Suigintou a wish, and she accepted the promise while warning him to keep it safe.
• Suigintou explained that the chaos around Little Pao Pao’s room had driven her to move into A Jun’s room, then accused him of liking evil figurines.

After Suigintou lost a fang, A Jun comforted her and brought her food, while she spoke about learning more of herself from Bubble’s collected media. A Jun then reviewed the powers and dangers of his new Void Form, ending with the unexplained discovery that his mental power had suppressed Viska’s Abyss Energy and restored her sanity.

• A Jun recalled Suigintou’s many misfortunes, comforted her over her broken fang, and left her in her room when she declined to join dinner.
• A Jun’s tactful explanation for Suigintou’s absence sparked teasing and suspicious remarks from Older Sister, Qian Qian, Lin Xue, and Sandora at dinner.
• A Jun brought Suigintou cake and yogurt, and she said Bubble’s collected media had shown her sides of herself she had never imagined.
• A Jun reflected that Void Form made him highly resistant to attacks and powerful in close combat, but prevented him from using his usual energy skills.
• A Jun explained how Void Form created a dangerous Void Domain that could trap enemies and reduce their abilities, then considered how it might help him fight Viska.
• A Jun wondered why his mental power had suppressed Viska’s Abyss Energy and restored her sanity, a result even Sandora could not explain.

A Jun reflected on Voidification’s dangerous side effects before Qian Qian interrupted his worries with a misunderstanding about Ding Dang’s healing bathwater. Meanwhile, the wave of world-crossing travelers stabilized and began to recede as Shadow City’s return operation entered full swing.

• A Jun considered how Voidification had weakened Viska’s Abyss Energy, but recalled that the transformation drained his Mental Energy and stamina and risked scattering his soul.
• Qian Qian visited A Jun at Older Sister’s request, and Ding Dang accidentally revealed that she had bathed with him while helping him recover.
• A Jun explained the incident as an accidental healing treatment, while Qian Qian proposed selling medicine made from Ding Dang’s bathwater and Ding Dang recalled Laura collecting it as a holy relic.

• Ding Dang restored the World Tree’s operation, while Tawell and her technicians organized routes home to more than three thousand nearby worlds.
• The Space-Time Management Center sent travelers home through its Teleportation Gates as Shadow City’s plaza became a crowded, noisy departure hub.

A Jun inspected the chaotic Space-Time Management Center as travelers prepared to return to their worlds and considered where approved settlers should live. When Qian Qian proposed preserving the hub so visitors could reunite, Sandora confirmed it was feasible, and Qian Qian began dreaming of a travel company.

• A Jun caught Sikaro selling goods and a bus ticket to travelers, then sent him to solitary confinement after Pandora and Viska knocked him down.
• A Jun allowed the exhausted staff to enjoy a few days of fun while Pandora and Viska fought over their schemes to grow taller.
• Siweisi reported that repatriating all travelers could take another month and that approved settlers needed housing after the residential district closed.
• A Jun decided most settlers should live in Academy City and considered inviting suitable travelers to teach the Misaka Sisters.
• Qian Qian proposed preserving the hub so people from different worlds could return and gather again, and Sandora confirmed that the plan was feasible.
• Qian Qian announced that she wanted to start a travel company, while A Jun began considering an idea of his own.

Qian Qian’s idea of letting transmigrators reunite in Shadow City led A Jun, Sandora, and the others to establish a regulated interworld travel network called the Macro World. The Time-Space Administration opened for business, with its staff and safeguards defined, while recruitment enthusiasm fell after applicants learned about the executioners.

• A Jun proposed opening interworld travel through the Dimensional Hub to a limited set of worlds, and Sandora recognized the network’s military and intelligence value.
• Older Sister and Ding Dang urged strict limits and secrecy, and the group agreed that travelers would be vetted and monitored before crossing worlds.
• Older Sister proposed a Time-Space Administration, and Sandora assigned Qian Qian a future role compiling intelligence from the world nodes.
• Builders set up the Time-Space Administration beside the World Management Center, and A Jun, Sandora, Asidda, and Asidora took on leadership roles.
• The Administration organized its governors, Raven executioners, inspectors, and special agents, then recruited suitable transmigrators such as Shana.
• Recruitment initially drew strong interest, but applications fell to a third after the executioners warned applicants that they would suppress anyone who exposed interworld travel.

The narrator learned that the Time-Space Administration had begun testing the Macro World network while struggling through a sleepless day with Suigintou clinging to him. Rider suggested Suigintou had grown attached because of his care, and warned that the doll might soon have to return to her world.

• Sandora briefed the narrator on the Administration's first network tests, inspector hotspots, and the delay in transporting the stranded Zenith Star People.
• The narrator left the office and found Suigintou waiting; she climbed onto his shoulder and fell asleep as he carried her through Shadow City.
• The narrator met Rider in a quiet, undeveloped district, where she spoke fondly of her life in Avalon and her friendship with Sakura.
• Rider told the narrator that Suigintou's clinginess might stem from his casual concern for her and warned that the travelers would soon return home, leaving Suigintou little time with him.
