Chapter Summaries

Xu Ruoxi’s bombardment failed to penetrate the Monster Decision Makers’ Mental Barriers, forcing her to use the Star-Level Shelter’s reserves to buy time. As the monsters resumed their advance, Mo Li realized their coordinated mental power could overwhelm even her, while Xu Ruoxi hoped Li Chen would return after breaking through to Tier 11.

• Xu Ruoxi’s second long-range strike left all 5,355 ultra-high-energy targets unharmed behind their Mental Barriers.

• The Monster Decision Makers resumed advancing toward Dragon Nation’s borders at more than seven times the speed of sound.
• Mo Li concluded that the Star-Level Shelter could not stop the enemies’ combined defenses and feared they could also coordinate attacks.

Mo Li refused to leave Li Chen unprotected, while the Star-Level Shelter’s commanders prepared to break through after concluding their weapons could not defeat the monsters. The chapter ended with Xu Ruoxi ordering energy from their breakthroughs to replenish the Electromagnetic Energy Cannons.

• Mo Li rejected the First Generation Zombie King's suggestion to help the humans, fearing Mo Yue was trying to lure her away from Li Chen.

Mo Yue watched the Star-Level Shelter’s Evolver numbers rise and took them as proof that her plan to force humanity to evolve was working. She contacted the Prite Civilization’s Main Camp, learned that Ai Lan would soon arrive, and was left expecting Li Chen and Mo Li to understand her actions.

• Mo Yue asked Ma Gudian about the energy signals detected near the Star-Level Shelter, and he reported more than a hundred thousand Level 3 signals, with some at Level 4, whose numbers were still increasing.

Xu Ruoxi struggled to defend Dragon Nation as the Star-Level Shelter ran short of energy and survivors grew fearful, but Noah assured her that Li Chen’s reserves could sustain the weapons. As Xu Ruoxi ordered commanders to pursue breakthroughs, Chewy Candy began a breakthrough of her own toward Level 10.

• The Star-Level Shelter and Dragon Nation’s other shelters fought off thousands of powerful monsters, but the Star-Level Shelter’s Firepower System again ran low on energy.

Xu Ruoxi handed command of the Star-Level Shelter’s defenses to Weng Xiaoyang before leaving to pursue a breakthrough to Gene Evolution Tier 10. Meanwhile, Trujillo gathered other top-shelter Decision Makers in a private mental chat, where Toraevsky warned that the Dragon Kingdom’s crisis could also threaten them.

The leaders of the John, Gaul, Big Bear, and White-Headed Sam Empire Shelters debated whether Mo Yue planned to betray them after defeating the Star-Level Shelters. Trujillo agreed with Toraevsky that they should treat Mo Yue as a future enemy, and Toraevsky began explaining his plan to the others.

• Toraevsky warned that Mo Yue might turn on the other shelters once she had defeated the Star-Level Shelters and the Dragon Kingdom.
• El Solano and Alex argued that Mo Yue's gifts of Evolution Resources made it unlikely she intended to attack them.
• Trujillo agreed with Toraevsky that Mo Yue's motives were probably dangerous and that they must stay on guard.
• Toraevsky declared that they would become enemies with Mo Yue, shocking El Solano and Alex.
• Trujillo refused to explain further and told Toraevsky to speak for him, so Toraevsky began explaining his reasoning.

Toraevsky urged the other Decision Makers to help Li Chen and the Dragon Kingdom fight Mo Yue, warning that her hidden Dinosaur Guard consisted of Tier 11 monsters. He revealed that Ma Gudian had become Mo Yue’s spy and argued that she no longer needed to cooperate with them.

• Toraevsky declared that the Big Bear Empire Shelter should join the Star-Level Shelter and the Dragon Kingdom against Mo Yue, shocking Alex, El Solano, and Trujillo.

Toraevsky urged the Top-Level Shelter Decision Makers to join forces with the Star-Level Shelter against Mo Yue and the Monster Decision Makers. Trujillo remained wary of Mo Yue and privately considered how the conflict could benefit his own ambitions.

• Toraevsky argued that the Monster Decision Makers threatened the Dragon Nation and urged the group to act before they reached its border.
• Trujillo questioned whether Li Chen and the Star-Level Shelter would cooperate, while El Solano and Alex insisted the Dragon Nation would welcome their help.

• Trujillo resolved to avoid leading the fight while considering how to use it to eliminate rival Top-Level Shelters.

Trujillo, Toraevsky, El Solano, and Alex agreed that Mo Yue might no longer need them and discussed joining forces against the Dragon Nation. They ended in a bitter dispute over who would contribute the most troops, with Toraevsky refusing to let his Big Bear Empire Shelter serve as the vanguard.

• Trujillo proposed that the Decision Makers prepare an escape route because Mo Yue might no longer need their help.
• Toraevsky argued that Trujillo should send more troops and attack from the sea and air while the others advanced by land.
• Trujillo, El Solano, and Alex countered that Toraevsky could reach the Dragon Nation fastest from the Big Bear Empire Shelter.
• Toraevsky pointed out that all three rivals had advanced aircraft capable of reaching the Dragon Nation quickly and demanded equal contributions or no action at all.
• Trujillo said the Monster Decision Makers had destroyed his forces and overseas bases, but Toraevsky insisted the White-Headed Sam Empire Shelter must lead or everyone must contribute equally.

Decision Makers argued over how to divide the military burden of an operation supporting Dragon Country and the Star-Level Shelter. Toraevsky cut off contact after Trujillo insulted the Big Bear Empire Shelter, leaving Trujillo, El Solano, and Alex to debate what a fair contribution would mean.

• Trujillo rejected Toraevsky’s pressure and left the Spirit Space Chat Room, while El Solano tried to mediate between them.
• Toraevsky demanded that every shelter send equal troops and equipment, prompting Trujillo to reenter the chat and accuse him of insulting the White-Headed Sam Empire Shelter.
• Trujillo’s claim that he came from a Higher Race angered Toraevsky, who left the Spirit Space and sealed his mental interface.
• Alex supported Toraevsky’s proposal for equal contributions, but Trujillo mocked him and El Solano argued that equal troop numbers would unfairly burden smaller shelters.
• El Solano explained that his shelter had six million combat personnel while the Big Bear Empire Shelter had twenty million, making a million-troop contribution a greater share of his forces.

As the Monster Decision Makers advanced toward the Dragon Kingdom, the Top-Level Empire Shelters argued over how to send reinforcements, and Trujillo finally agreed to deploy ten percent of his forces. Meanwhile, Li Chen completed his breakthrough and entered Tier 11 Gene Evolution.

• El Solano proposed that the shelters send troops in proportion to their combat forces, but Trujillo objected that the plan would make his shelter contribute millions while El Solano sent only hundreds of thousands.

• Li Chen used his Mental Power to assess the danger facing the Dragon Kingdom, then led the First Generation Zombie King, the Second Generation Zombie King, and Mo Li to confront the Monster Decision Makers.

• Mo Yue blamed the five Shadow Organization members for her injuries and decided to investigate whether their brain memories held a way to counter the power of the Small Universe.
• Mo Yue sensed Li Chen's powerful aura, recognized that he had reached Tier 11, and ordered the several thousand Monster Decision Makers to retreat before he could reach them.

• Li Chen launched a powerful Small Universe punch toward the distant monsters, and his companions tracked it with their Mental Power.

The top-level shelter Decision Makers debated whether to keep opposing Mo Yue after Li Chen rejected their offer of cooperation, and worried she was turning humans against one another for the aliens’ benefit. Their discussion ended when Trujillo sensed Li Chen unleash a punch whose speed and power left the Decision Makers stunned.

• The Decision Makers reacted angrily to Li Chen’s rejection, while El Solano warned that returning to Mo Yue could be a trap.
• Trujillo insisted that the four Tier 10 Gene Evolution Decision Makers could challenge Li Chen, but Toraevsky and Alex refused to join him.
• Alex argued that Mo Yue was using the shelters to weaken humanity through infighting, and the others agreed that continued conflict could leave Earth vulnerable to the aliens.
• Trujillo sensed Li Chen’s punch strike toward the Monster Decision Makers and was stunned by its speed and the absence of detectable Mental Power fluctuations.

Li Chen's punch traveled more than a thousand kilometers and struck the fleeing Monster Decision Makers, but their combined Mental Power Barrier withstood it. The monsters mocked the humans, and the furious shelter commanders called for their weapons to fire.

• The Decision Makers debated the source of Li Chen's punch, and Toraevsky argued that its sustained power came from an unknown force rather than physical strength alone.
• Trujillo watched the punch continue toward the fleeing Monster Decision Makers, while the Star-Level Shelter's Command Center tracked it and celebrated Li Chen's power.

• The Monster Decision Makers laughed at Li Chen's failed attack and taunted the humans, while commanders in the Star-Level Shelter and other Dragon Nation shelters angrily demanded that their cannons fire.

Li Chen failed to break the Monster Decision Makers’ Mental Power Barrier, prompting rival shelter leaders to mock him while Toraevsky warned that Mo Yue might be preparing an attack.

• Li Chen’s attack failed to penetrate the barrier created by thousands of powerful monsters, and the Monster Decision Makers mocked him.

• The Mental Power Barrier cracked from the center where Li Chen’s fist had hit, and Mo Yue was shocked.
