Chapter Summaries

Yinsen helped Rocket Raccoon and Star-Lord kill Ego by disrupting his energy defenses so a bomb could destroy his brain. As Ego’s planet began to collapse, Yinsen stayed behind to collect some of Ego’s energy while the others escaped.

• Yinsen opened a hole in the Energy Layer around Ego’s brain, and Rocket Raccoon threw a bomb through it.
• Yinsen used the Space Gem to create an Energy Storm that prevented Ego from mobilizing his energy, allowing the bomb to kill him.
• After Ego died, his planet began to collapse, and Yinsen’s Mirror Clone kept Star-Lord and Rocket Raccoon inside until the storm subsided.
• Yinsen collected some of the stabilized Spatial Energy, then called the others out as Yondu and his crew arrived.
• The group boarded the fighters and left Ego’s Planet, while Mantis chose to follow Star-Lord.
• After the fighters moved safely away, Yinsen revealed that his real body had stayed behind to collect Ego’s gathered energy.

Yinsen gathered and cleansed the energy left behind by Ego, using Ego’s memories of forming a planet to create a magic power star at the center of his Mental Universe. After his power and life level rose, he returned to the Milano, where his sudden appearance startled Star-Lord and the others.

• Yinsen found scattered fragments of Ego’s mind in the surrounding energy and removed them to prevent them from becoming a future threat.
• Yinsen extracted Ego’s memories and planetary experience, then used them to reshape his Mental World.
• Yinsen’s Mental World transformed into a void with an azure magic power star at its center, raising his magic power and life level.
• Yinsen gathered the remaining energy and stored it, planning to use it to replenish his Mental Universe after it stabilized.
• Yinsen returned to the Milano without using a portal, startling Star-Lord and the others with his sudden appearance.

Yinsen asked Star-Lord to survey an unknown planet outside the Milky Way, but warned him he could not pay in money. Star-Lord still agreed to take the commission, leaving its details and compensation unresolved.

• Yinsen rejoined Star-Lord and the others, and they set off to find supplies while Nebula and Gamora discussed whether to provoke him into fighting Thanos.
• Star-Lord and Rocket Raccoon argued before Star-Lord agreed to hear Yinsen's commission.
• Yinsen asked Star-Lord to survey an unknown planet beyond the Milky Way and explained that he needed an experienced, trusted veteran.
• Star-Lord accepted the commission, but Yinsen revealed that he could not pay with money.
• Rocket Raccoon protested the lack of payment, while Star-Lord remained willing to proceed.

After Yinsen hired Star-Lord to survey a planet, he offered powerful upgrades and other rewards instead of money, prompting several others to join the job. The group arrived at Yinsen’s manor near Los Angeles, where Tony greeted them in his Iron Armor.

• Star-Lord accepted Yinsen’s job, and Yinsen offered life evolution, training, supplies, equipment upgrades, and even the possibility of resurrecting Star-Lord’s mother as payment.
• Rocket Raccoon stopped criticizing Star-Lord and urged him to consider Yinsen’s generous offer, while Yinsen admitted he lacked details about the planet they would survey.
• Yondu decided to join the mission to watch over Star-Lord, while Gamora and Nebula considered what Yinsen’s resources might do for them.
• Yinsen shrank Yondu’s fighter into a glass container, and Nebula piloted the Milano toward Earth with the others aboard.
• Star-Lord landed the Milano behind Yinsen’s Los Angeles manor, where Tony Stark welcomed the group in his Iron Armor.

Yinsen gathered Star-Lord and his crew to explain a mission to explore a planet in the universe where he lived, and Tony Stark helped supply their ship. After preparations were complete, Yinsen brought everyone aboard the Prinz Eugen, where they became more interested in its miniature-planet Training Ground than the ship itself.

• Tony Stark greeted Yinsen and Star-Lord's crew, then asked Yinsen why his magical energy was no longer easy to sense.
• Yinsen explained that his magic had changed after his Planetization transformation, becoming difficult to detect unless he used it.
• Tony supplied the Milano with provisions and Nano Repair Robots while Yinsen explained the commission to Star-Lord and the others.
• Star-Lord learned that Yinsen came from another universe and that the target planet was in Yinsen's universe.
• Yinsen and Tony agreed that the crew should obtain a suitable spaceship for the mission, and the group finished preparing the Milano.
• After Maria Hill returned, Yinsen stored the Milano in a container and teleported everyone to the Prinz Eugen, where the crew showed interest in its Training Ground.

Yinsen gathered Peter Quill, Yondu, and the Guardians aboard the Prinz Eugen, explained his ability to travel between universes to Betty, and prepared the group to leave the Training Ground. After storing the Prinz Eugen and its Intelligent System Chip, Yinsen boarded the Milano with the others and ordered the ships to fly straight up.

• Ada explained to Betty that Yinsen and his companions came from other universes, and Betty understood why Yinsen had kept his origins secret until now.
• Yinsen arranged to use Yondu's fighter and transferred supplies from the Prinz Eugen, while Peter chose an Enhancement Potion and training to develop his bloodline instead of deciding whether to resurrect his mother.
• Yinsen shut down the Prinz Eugen, removed its Intelligent System Chip, and stored both the warship and chip in Storage Space.
• Yinsen joined Peter Quill aboard the Milano, with Yondu piloting his fighter alongside it, and ordered them to fly toward the sky.

Yinsen and his companions left the Training Ground and began surveying a nearby purple planet as a possible home for its inhabitants. After finding that the atmosphere seemed suitable but the forest mist contained unknown substances, they prepared to send a team down for a cautious ground survey.

• The Milano and Yondu's fighter left the Training Ground, and the group saw how it resembled an Ecological Ship orbiting a blue-violet planet.
• Star-Lord and Gamora examined the planet and found a human-compatible atmosphere, abundant liquid water, and purple vegetation.
• Logan sensed vigorous vitality on the planet but no actual life, while Gamora detected unknown components in the mist over the forest.
• Star-Lord and Yondu's fighter surveyed the planet for more than ten hours before regrouping in low orbit.
• Yinsen proposed keeping the fighters in orbit and taking a team to the surface, and Star-Lord selected himself, Yinsen, Nebula, Rocket Raccoon, Logan, Groot, and Annette for the landing.

Yinsen led the first landing party onto Purple Star, where they surveyed the breathable but unfamiliar environment and established a protected camp. The team settled into a Safe House after finding no signs of nearby life, while preparing for the possibility of native organisms or intelligent inhabitants.

• Yinsen led the party onto Purple Star, and everyone except Groot wore protective Combat Suits equipped with oxygen supplies and Energy Layers.
• Star-Lord, Annette, and Gamora surveyed the open landing site while Rocket Raccoon, Groot, and Logan set up warning devices and traps.
• Annette tested soil, plants, and Purple Sea samples, discovering that the seawater contained huge numbers of microorganisms.
• Yinsen considered the possibility of native life and asked Rocket Raccoon to make the traps more concealed.
• Yinsen and Nebula began setting up infrastructure, and Yinsen brought a protected Space House out of his Storage Space.
• The party rested inside the Safe House after their first day on Purple Star passed without incident.

Yinsen's survey team retreated from the Purple Mist after it drained their Protective Suits, then returned with sealed helmets to investigate. They encountered hostile Large Purple Flowers, and Yinsen cleared the mist with a powerful gale so the team could face them directly.

• Yinsen's team retreated from the Purple Mist after their Protective Suits warned that their defenses were being attacked, and Annette collected a sample.
• Annette found unusual microorganisms and seedlike components in the mist, while Groot remained unharmed and was left at camp for sterilization.
• Yinsen, Star-Lord, Nebula, Logan, and Annette reentered the jungle wearing sealed helmets and found that the seeds stopped moving toward them when their Energy Layers were shut off.
• Logan warned the group about a hostile plant, and the team blocked its vine attack and destroyed the vines attempting a side ambush.
• Yinsen cast a powerful gale that swept away the Purple Mist, revealing a group of Large Purple Flowers attacking across the ground.

Yinsen’s team discovered that fire could disperse the planet’s purple fog and explored its dangerous jungle, finding both aggressive plants and a gentle, dinosaur-like animal. After judging the planet habitable but risky, Yinsen proposed placing the Training Ground on the Purple Sea and letting adventurers reach the Purple Continent to establish safe settlements.

• Annette, Logan, and Yinsen burned the Large Purple Flowers, discovering that fire dispersed the purple fog, and Annette collected plant samples.
• Logan reasoned that the hunting flowers indicated prey lived on the planet, and the team returned to camp after surveying the area.
• Over the following weeks, Yinsen and Star-Lord explored the jungle while Annette analyzed samples and found one nutritious but foul-tasting edible plant.
• Half a month after arriving, Logan befriended a gentle, three-meter-tall herbivore that helped carry supplies back to camp before returning to its territory.
• Yinsen and Star-Lord concluded that the jungle was dangerous and coastal plains were scarce, so Yinsen proposed placing the Training Ground on the Purple Sea and sending adventurers through to the Purple Continent.

Yinsen and his group completed their survey of Purple Star, confirmed it could support long-term human settlement, and set out with Star-Lord and Yondu to inspect other planets. During the journey, they learned that their ships’ Space Jump systems did not work in this universe and discussed how the Empire relied on fixed jump installations, leaving Yinsen to wonder how its tactics would fare against enemies with ship-based jumps.

• Yinsen and his group spent months studying Purple Star, adapting to its environment, building a village, and identifying edible plants that could be cultivated.
• After confirming that Purple Star could support human life, Yinsen’s group dismantled their buildings and departed with Star-Lord and Yondu to survey other planets.
• Rocket Raccoon revealed that Star-Lord had forgotten he was in another universe when he carved a message on a stone, and Star-Lord realized his mistake.
• Star-Lord asked Yondu why they were not using Space Jumps, and Yondu explained that the ships’ jump systems did not work in this universe.
• Betty explained that the Empire used fixed Jump Channels for long-distance travel, and Yinsen considered how that reliance might leave Imperial forces vulnerable to enemies with ship-based Space Jumps.

After finding all three candidate planets unsuitable, Yinsen decided to move the Training Ground to Purple Star and leave information with Brent to encourage exploration. He began wrapping the Training Ground in a vast net of stored magical energy, preparing to spend his hard-won reserves on the transfer.

• Yinsen and his companions surveyed three planets and found each uninhabitable or too dangerous to approach.
• Yinsen decided to relocate the Training Ground to Purple Star's ocean and give exploration information to Brent rather than the guild.
• Yinsen considered using stored Magic Energy to move the Training Ground by force, since it likely lacked navigation systems, and set aside the idea of asking Tony to control it.
• Yinsen and the others returned to the asteroid belt, postponed solving their ship and training needs, and chose to watch the relocation from the Milano.
• Yinsen flew into space above the Training Ground, released stored energies from several planes, and began forming a giant net around it.

Yinsen transported the Training Ground to Purple Star, landed it safely in the Purple Sea, and established portals so its adventurers could leave. He gave Brent the information needed to lead the adventurers, then returned to the Milano and felt free to depart.

• Yinsen moved the Training Ground toward Purple Star while the Milano and Yondu's ship escorted him.
• Yinsen slowed the Training Ground's descent with magic and settled it in the Purple Sea.
• Yinsen created linked teleportation portals in the Training Ground's control room and the Purple Sea, along with a key for adventurers to travel between them.
• Yinsen found Brent aboard his ship, shared information about Purple Star and the portals, and gave him a recording stone with instructions.
• Yinsen said goodbye to Brent, returned to the Milano, and shouted, "Feidong!"

Yinsen returned to the Marvel Universe with Star-Lord, Yondu, and the others after completing their survey and giving them Enhancement Potions. Back at the manor, Tony asked Yinsen to arrange a meeting with Bruce Wayne, clearly intending to challenge him.

• Yinsen finished Rocket Raccoon's Enhancement Potion, while Nebula chose to stay with him until he could tailor a potion to her complicated condition.
• Star-Lord's potion awakened part of Ego's bloodline, letting him sense universal energies, and he began training with a lightsaber.
• Yinsen landed the group on a barren planet, stored Yondu's fighter, and brought everyone to the Marvel Universe.
• Yinsen and the returning group reunited with Tony, who learned about the survey and met Mordred, Arthur's female version of a son.
• Tony asked Yinsen to arrange a meeting with Bruce Wayne after studying him online and displayed an unmistakable desire to provoke him.

Yinsen prepared to retrieve a spaceship from an earlier point in the Alien world, while Tony planned to join him later after handling Stark Industries’ work. As Yinsen wondered what direction his team should take afterward, Ada encouraged him to focus on the journey and agreed to accompany him.

• Yinsen told Tony he planned to retrieve a spaceship from an earlier point in the Alien world, and Tony said he would wait until his work at Stark Industries eased before joining a later trip.
• Tony told Yinsen that Howard and Maria had left to explore the unfamiliar world and would likely be gone for two or three months.
• Yinsen reflected on what to do after retrieving the spaceship and worried that his team lacked a shared goal.
• Logan said he liked traveling without a destination, while Ada argued that the ship’s crew did not need an ambitious goal and could simply explore the universe.
• Ada agreed to join Yinsen on the spaceship retrieval trip, and Yinsen decided to ask who else wanted to come.

Yinsen, Ada, Logan, and Maria Hill reached the Prometheus shortly before it arrived at its destination, intending to take the ship without letting its crew die. After reconsidering his plan to seize it by force, Yinsen decided to negotiate with the people in charge, and David led him toward Meredith Vickers.

• Yinsen brought Ada, Logan, and Maria Hill to the Prometheus, while Annette asked him to bring back xenomorph samples and he warned her that they were dangerous.
• Yinsen decided against simply taking the ship by force and planned to offer a deal to the crew members he believed could survive.
• David discovered the intruders in the Prometheus's control room, and Yinsen restrained him with magical Energy Chains.
• After Yinsen released him, David identified himself and named Meredith Vickers as the person in charge of the Prometheus.
• Yinsen asked David to take him to Meredith Vickers so they could discuss a deal.

Yinsen and his companions woke Meredith Vickers aboard the Prometheus and warned her that the expedition was heading into danger. After demonstrating his power and revealing that Engineers survived on the destination planet, Yinsen insisted on joining the team as the ship prepared to arrive.

• David woke Meredith from her Hibernation Pod and brought her to meet Yinsen and his companions.
• Meredith changed and met Yinsen in her private suite, where he warned that the expedition would lead to trouble.
• David explained that Yinsen's group had appeared aboard the ship without records, and they confirmed they were not from Earth.
• Yinsen said he wanted to join the team, then used his power to take Meredith's hidden pistol and told her there were surviving Engineers on the planet.
• The Prometheus announced its imminent arrival, and Meredith recognized that she had no way to stop Yinsen.

Yinsen joined the Prometheus crew as a security consultant and became head of security while Meredith and the scientists prepared for the expedition. After the ship landed at its destination, Yinsen stopped the search team and told David to wake Peter Weyland.

• Meredith agreed to let Yinsen and his companions join the crew as security consultants, and she had David arrange their identities and wake the scientists.
• After the scientists awakened, Captain Janek challenged the presence of the unknown passengers, but Meredith backed Yinsen's group and they were accepted as security consultants.
• Elizabeth Shaw dismissed the need for security consultants, while Yinsen remained silent and Jackson later began speaking with him.
• Yinsen became head of security aboard the Prometheus, and Ada and Hill recorded the ship's operating procedures for Tony.
• The Prometheus landed near the temple-like structure, and Yinsen stopped the search team and ordered David to wake Peter Weyland.

Yinsen helped David wake Peter Weyland, who wanted to find the Engineers and escape death, then used a display of power to make Weyland take him seriously. After learning a Silica Storm was approaching, Weyland ordered the group to leave in two hours to find the Engineers.

• David woke the medical staff and Peter Weyland while Yinsen and the others watched.
• Hill asked Yinsen why he had joined the expedition, and he said he was bored and wanted to wait aboard the Prometheus for an opportunity.
• Peter Weyland woke and questioned David, then suspected Meredith had arranged for Yinsen to come aboard.
• Yinsen floated nearby objects to show Weyland his power, then told him he was not an Engineer and that Weyland would meet them soon.
• David said Weyland needed at least three hours to recover, but Yinsen warned that a Silica Storm was coming.
• Weyland ordered the group to leave in two hours so he could reach the Engineers before the storm.

Yinsen and the Search Team explored an Engineer spacecraft while a silica storm trapped them inside, and he warned them about the deadly Black Liquid stored aboard. After discovering the control room, Hill suggested taking the ship, but Yinsen refused because he thought its shape was too ugly.

• The Search Team entered the structure despite Janek's warning that a silica storm was approaching, and Yinsen convinced most of them to keep their helmets on.
• Yinsen ordered Charlie and Elizabeth to undergo decontamination, medical examinations, and quarantine after they removed their helmets.
• The team discovered canisters of Black Liquid and Engineer corpses, while Yinsen explained to Hill that the substance could parasitize life-forms and create dangerous new organisms.
• The Search Team found the control room and learned from David that the supposed cave was an Engineer spacecraft.
• Hill suggested taking the spacecraft, but Yinsen refused because it looked like a Donut.
