Chapter Summaries

Tier Harribel unleashed more of her power against Yoru Machi, who removed two seals from his spiritual pressure and rushed her toward the sea with Shunkō. After accidentally groping her during the attack, he apologized, but Harribel prepared to fight at full strength in the water, where her abilities were especially effective.

• Tier Harribel decided to reveal part of her strength after realizing she could not defeat Yoru Machi while suppressing her spiritual pressure.

• Yoru Machi explained that the groping had been an accident, and Harribel recognized why he had moved their battle away from populated areas.
• Harribel remained furious and prepared to use her full strength, which she could amplify above the sea.

Tier Harribel released her Resurrección and battled Yoru Machi across the sea, eventually knocking him into the water. She spared him and prepared to leave, but then sensed an astonishing spiritual pressure behind her.

• Yoru Machi released Other Shore and blocked Tier Harribel's sword before dodging her boiling-water attack and countering with Getsuga Tensho.

• Harribel believed her previous strike had decided the battle and prepared to leave Yoru Machi alive for a rematch.
• Yoru Machi emerged from the sea unharmed, explained that he knew Tiburón’s abilities, and revealed that his Zanpakuto could heal him.

• Yoru Machi unleashed his full spiritual pressure, which rose to roughly match Harribel’s, and explained that he had chosen the sea to let them both fight at full strength.
• Yoru Machi vanished and struck Harribel’s Tiburón hard enough to send her skidding across the sea.
• Harribel fired water shells with Battle Drops, but Yoru Machi dodged them so swiftly that they struck only near his heels.

Yoru Machi broke through Tier Harribel’s Resurrección and defeated her without killing her, though his strike shattered her bone battle skirt and humiliated her. Tier Harribel accepted defeat and asked him to kill her.

• Tier Harribel used Sea Dragon’s Roar to keep Yoru Machi at a distance, but his Mad Butterfly slashes tore through the water-vapor shield.
• Tier Harribel unleashed her fan-shaped Resurrección, and Yoru Machi charged through it with Star Bite, shattering the Cero.

• Yoru Machi explained that he had avoided seriously injuring Tier Harribel, while privately wondering whether he had glimpsed her Hollow hole.
• Tier Harribel acknowledged her defeat and told Yoru Machi to kill her.

Yoru Machi tried to convince Tier Harribel that he wanted to be her friend rather than kill her, explaining that he admired her character and believed sacrifice should be mutual. He hoped to win her trust and protect her and her Fracción from Aizen, but Harribel remained wary of him.

• Yoru Machi denied wanting to kill Harribel and realized his earlier attack on her clothes had made her think he was a pervert.
• Yoru Machi recalled Harribel’s loyalty to Aizen and how Aizen had discarded her, and considered recruiting her to help oppose him.

• Harribel remained suspicious of Soul Reapers, though Yoru Machi’s words improved her impression of him.
• Yoru Machi appealed to Harribel’s concern for her Fracción and argued that meaningful sacrifice between friends had to be mutual.

Tier Harribel escaped Yoru Machi after he spared her, while Grimmjow’s fight with Ichigo ended when Tousen Kaname intervened. Back in Las Noches, Aizen questioned the returning Espada and revealed he had expected Tier Harribel might not survive her battle, leaving her shocked by his apparent disregard for her life.

• Tier Harribel refused to become Yoru Machi’s friend but promised to repay his mercy, then fled through a Garganta.

• Tier Harribel admitted Yoru Machi had defeated her, and Aizen stopped Tousen Kaname from punishing her, saying her safe return was remarkable.
• Tier Harribel realized Aizen had sent her to face Yoru Machi despite knowing she might not return.

Tier Harribel learned that Yoru Machi had held back even more than she realized, while Aizen used her account to reassure himself that he remained stronger. Troubled by Yoru Machi’s warning that Aizen viewed them as disposable tools, Harribel asked her Fracción what Aizen truly thought of them.

• Aizen asked Tier Harribel whether Yoru Machi had used Shikai and released all three spiritual-pressure seals, and she revealed that he had released only two while defeating her.
• Aizen unleashed spiritual pressure that shook Las Noches and crushed its Arrancar, then asked Harribel to compare it with Yoru Machi’s power.
• Harribel said Yoru Machi’s spiritual pressure was far below Aizen’s, and Aizen concluded that he was still stronger even without using half his power.
• Tousen Kaname praised Aizen and boasted that he could handle Yoru Machi, while Ichimaru Gin privately worried that Aizen’s growing strength would make defeating him harder.
• Apache, Mira Roz, and Sun Sun gathered around Harribel after her return, and she asked whether they were merely tools Aizen could sacrifice.

Yoru Machi entered YGGDRASIL on its final day, intending to stay with Momonga until the game shut down and travel with Nazarick to the New World. He refused to give up his hard-earned gear and Pay-to-Win Items, while Momonga faced the end of the game without most of his old guildmates.

• Yoru Machi recalled choosing the non-human Dual Phantom race and joining Ainz Ooal Gown so he could reach the New World with the guild.
• Yoru Machi logged into the guild hall as Momonga finished saying goodbye to Heilong Heilong, who had transferred his items and logged out.
• Momonga told Yoru Machi that most guild members had already quit or left, and he had hoped Yoru Machi would stay until the shutdown.
• Yoru Machi kept using the system menu instead of logging out and joked that he would not hand over his divine gear or Pay-to-Win Items.

As YGGDRASIL neared shutdown, Yoru Machi stayed with Momonga and spent his money collecting rare items, while Momonga altered Nazarick’s NPC settings. When the countdown ended, Momonga was stunned to find that he was still inside the game.

• Yoru Machi told Momonga he would stay until YGGDRASIL shut down, and Momonga suggested gathering Nazarick’s NPCs for the final moments.

• Yoru Machi spent heavily to buy rare items and World Items before the game disappeared, while Momonga edited the NPCs’ settings.
• Momonga closed his eyes as the shutdown countdown ended, but opened them to discover he had not been logged out.

Momonga and Yoru Machi discovered that they could no longer access the game interface and suspected they had transmigrated into a real world. Yoru Machi tested Narberal’s independent thoughts, leaving Momonga with stronger evidence that the NPCs had become real.

• Momonga noticed Albedo’s lifelike emotions, scent, and touch, then found that he and Yoru Machi could no longer summon their game menus.
• Yoru Machi suggested they might have transmigrated because their bodies felt real, though Momonga struggled to accept the idea.
• Yoru Machi called Narberal over and asked what she thought of him, prompting her to describe him as powerful, kind, and well-liked.
• Yoru Machi told Momonga through Message that Narberal’s independent thoughts and soul suggested they were no longer inside the game.

Momonga and Yoru Machi confirmed that Nazarick had been transported to another world and discussed how to survive there. The Guardians misread their investigation as evidence of a powerful hidden threat, and Momonga and Yoru Machi prepared to gather information.

• Momonga questioned the Floor Guardians, confirmed they seemed to have independent thoughts and souls, and realized he and Yoru Machi had likely been transported elsewhere.
• Momonga panicked about his transformation into a Ruler of Death, but his passive skill calmed him; Yoru Machi urged him to gather information about the world.
• Demiurge, Aura, Mare, Cocytus, Albedo, and Shalltear speculated that Momonga and Yoru Machi had been testing them and investigating the disappearance of the other Supreme Beings.
• The Guardians resolved to protect Momonga and Yoru Machi from a threat they imagined could have driven away the other Supreme Beings.
• Sebas returned from investigating outside Nazarick with information that confirmed they were in a New World, and Momonga assigned the Guardians to disguise the tomb before he and Yoru Machi went out to gather intelligence.

Yoru Machi and Momonga split up to investigate the area around Nazarick, with Albedo and Shalltear assigned to guard them. Yoru Machi found Sunlight Scripture members near Carne Village and tried to stop Shalltear from attacking them, but her obsessive desire for him left him to approach the group alone.

• Momonga agreed to let Albedo and Shalltear accompany him and Yoru Machi as guards while they searched for information about the New World.
• Yoru Machi proposed splitting up, and Momonga went toward Carne Village with Albedo while Yoru Machi left with Shalltear.
• Yoru Machi found a group of Sunlight Scripture members lying in ambush south of Carne Village.
• Shalltear drew her Droplet Spear and offered to kill the humans, but Yoru Machi reprimanded her and reminded her to gather information instead of resorting to force.
• Shalltear reacted to Yoru Machi's scolding with intense desire, so he told her to calm down while he tried to blend in with the Sunlight Scripture members.

Yoru Machi disguised himself as the Black Scripture’s Fifth Seat and watched the Sunlight Scripture’s ambush of Gazef Stronoff. After Gazef defeated several angels and collapsed, he transformed into a masked Magic Caster and a black-armored axe wielder, leaving Negan’s mission in confusion.

• Yoru Machi recognized the Sunlight Scripture’s plan to lure Gazef and disguised himself as One Man Army to approach Negan.
• Negan explained that he had prepared an ambush and possessed a Magic Crystal that could summon a high-tier angel.
• Gazef arrived with Kingdom soldiers, and the Sunlight Scripture summoned low-tier angels to attack them.
• Gazef used Five Light Severance to kill five angels, while Yoru Machi and Shalltear judged the fighters unimpressive.
• Gazef collapsed from exhaustion, then transformed into a masked Magic Caster and a black-armored warrior wielding an axe.
• Negan demanded to know who the newcomers were and where Gazef had gone.

Ainz protected Gazef and confronted the Sunlight Scripture, defeating its summoned angels while trying to learn whether its members possessed YGGDRASIL magic or World Items. Negan summoned the Radiant Lord Angel as his strongest trump card, leaving Ainz and Albedo stunned that it was supposedly the threat they had been warned about.

• Ainz declared that he would protect Gazef and demanded honest answers from the Sunlight Scripture, prompting Negan to order an attack.
• Albedo asked to kill the Theocracy soldiers, but Ainz told her to protect him as he wiped out the Flame Archangels with Negative Burst.
• Negan sent a Watcher Angel to fight Ainz, and Ainz killed it instantly with black flames.
• Yoru Machi asked Negan about the Theocracy's World Item-class items, making Ainz and Albedo wary as Albedo secretly called for Nazarick's Guardians and contacted Yoru Machi for support.
• Negan summoned a Radiant Lord Angel from a Seal Crystal, and Ainz and Albedo realized that the angel was the supposed trump card rather than a World Item.

Ainz and Nazarick’s guardians arrived to confront the Sunlight Scripture, and Cocytus easily destroyed its Radiant Lord Angel. When Demiurge’s domination spell failed against Yoru Machi, the guardians recognized him as a major threat, and Albedo’s opening attack was blocked.

• Ainz apologized to the arriving guardians for summoning them over an enemy he had underestimated.
• Negan ordered the Radiant Lord Angel to attack Ainz and the guardians with the seventh-tier spell Divine Strike, but they emerged unharmed.
• Cocytus killed the Radiant Lord Angel with his God-Slaying Blade Emperor, causing the Sunlight Scripture troops to beg for mercy.
• Negan pleaded with Yoru Machi to save him, and Ainz ordered his followers to keep the blond man alive for questioning.
• Demiurge’s domination spell had no effect on Yoru Machi, so Albedo attacked him, but he blocked her axe with his blade.

Yoru Machi fought Albedo, Demiurge, and Cocytus, then survived Momonga’s instant Super-Tier Magic, Fallen Down, without losing any HP. He revealed that magic itself was useless against him, not that he had used a World Item.

• Yoru Machi punched Demiurge away and kicked Albedo back after she and Demiurge attacked him.
• Cocytus unleashed Frost Aura, but Yoru Machi countered it with Crimson Karma Flame.
• Momonga stopped the Guardians from attacking through the mist and used a Pay-to-Win Item to cast Fallen Down instantly.
• Negan fled the devastated battlefield to warn the bishops, while the Guardians returned to find a crater nearly ten kilometers wide.
• Momonga detected that Yoru Machi had lost no HP, and Yoru Machi explained that magic could not harm him.

Yoru Machi revealed himself to Momonga and the Guardians as a Supreme Being with complete Magic Immunity, then abducted Negan and pretended to be one of the Slane Theocracy’s Six Gods. Negan believed the deception and was recruited to help Yoru Machi exploit the Theocracy from within.

• Yoru Machi fled with Negan, and Momonga stopped Albedo and Demiurge from pursuing him before calling Shalltear out of hiding.
• Shalltear explained that Yoru Machi had told her not to interfere, and Momonga identified the disguised man as Yoru Machi, the Magic Caster Killer.
• Demiurge guessed that Yoru Machi planned to win Negan’s trust and use him to gather intelligence on the Slane Theocracy, while Momonga privately admitted he did not know Yoru Machi’s intentions.
• Yoru Machi changed his appearance to match a statue of one of the Six Gods and told Negan that a dark force threatened the world and that he needed a devout believer’s help.
• Negan accepted Yoru Machi’s claim and revered him as the God of Light, believing he had been chosen to help the Six Gods.

Negan returned to the Slane Theocracy after Yoru Machi recruited him as a secret agent for the God of Light. Back at the Great Tomb of Nazarick, Momonga and Yoru Machi decided to explore the New World in disguise, leaving for different destinations with their guards.

• Yoru Machi gave Negan a means of contacting him, demonstrated a Divine Miracle, and sent him toward the Slane Theocracy on a secret mission.

• Momonga disguised himself in black armor and departed for E-Rantel with Delta.
• Yoru Machi disguised himself as a handsome black-haired man and left for Ouviental with Nabe Gamma as his guard.

Yoru Machi and Nabe arrived in Ouviental, where Yoru Machi tried to teach Nabe to control her hostility toward humans. They decided to make a name for themselves as Imperial Workers, but reached the capital with no idea how to get started.

• Yoru Machi reprimanded Nabe for threatening people who stared at them and reminded her to maintain their human disguise.
• Nabe took Yoru Machi's words as a test and resolved to practice patience and restraint.
• Yoru Machi took Nabe out for cake to make up for reprimanding her.
• Yoru Machi and Nabe went to Ouviental to build their reputations as Workers, but found themselves unsure how to find work without an organization like the Adventurer's Guild.

In the Empire’s royal capital, Yoru Machi met Arshes’s twin sisters, Gutilika and Velerika, and used their knowledge to learn where Workers gathered. He left the girls with birthday gifts and continued on with Nabe, who began imagining that Yoru Machi might prefer lolis.

• Yoru Machi noticed Gutilika and Velerika longing for cakes outside a shop and recognized them as Arshes’s younger sisters.
• Yoru Machi offered the twins cake in exchange for information, and they told him that Workers gathered at the Singing Apple Pavilion.
• Yoru Machi bought the twins a large birthday cake and gave each a protective magic pendant, earning their affection and an invitation to their home.
• Nabe questioned why Yoru Machi had given the girls valuable magic items, and he said they were likable and deserved a reward.
• Nabe wondered whether Yoru Machi preferred petite girls and imagined transforming into a loli, blushing at the thought.
