Vladimir devised a plan to use the Seventeenth Fleet as bait, luring the Federation fleet into the Peiton Universe to make it fight the Biological Civilization. The battered Seventeenth Fleet entered the universe as planned, while Tri-Union Black Hole Lifeforms drew the Biological Civilization toward the arriving warships.

• After the Twenty-Second Fleet vanished, Vladimir ordered the Seventeenth Fleet to advance so it could lure the unknown God-tier Civilization into the Peiton Universe.
• Commander Ross Xis read the General Staff's plan and ordered the Seventeenth Fleet to leave the Peiton Universe and head toward Garrison Point Three.
• The Federation fleet pursued the Seventeenth Fleet through the black cavity, destroying nearly half its warships before it reached the Tris Supercluster.
• After headquarters confirmed the plan, Ross Xis ordered the fleet to enter the Peiton Universe.
• Tri-Union Black Hole Lifeforms drew the Biological Civilization into pursuit as the Seventeenth Fleet poured through window passages into the Tris Supercluster.

The Tri-Union Civilization’s ambush went awry when the Biological Civilization and the unknown God-tier Civilization coordinated their forces against the Seventeenth Fleet. After seeing the battle footage, Vladimir halted his planned attack and ordered his fleets to regroup, fearing the enemy’s overwhelming high-end power.

• Trisi used the Seventeenth Fleet as bait to draw the Biological Civilization forces into a battle, but the enemy joined forces with the unknown God-tier Civilization fleet.
• Vladimir ordered fifty fleets to depart and surround the fighting forces, expecting to destroy both sides while they were engaged.
• Trisi reported that the two enemy forces were coordinating their attacks and jointly encircling the Seventeenth Fleet.
• Vladimir watched the tactical footage and saw the unknown fleet make room for wounded Biological Civilization individuals to retreat.
• Vladimir canceled the attack, ordered his fleets to remain on standby, and called back forces stationed across the Superclusters.
• Vladimir feared that the Biological Civilization’s nearly thirty thousand peak Eleventh Order fighters could overwhelm his forces if his Black Hole Dark Energy Users were suppressed.

With the Seventeenth Fleet nearly destroyed, Lin Fan halted the Federal Fleet’s fire and brought Galon out to reveal his true form to the Peiton Universe’s Biological Civilizations. As Galon’s strength stunned both allies and enemies, Trisi realized the encirclement had turned the battle into a colosseum.

• Lin Fan ordered the Federal Fleet to stop firing while keeping the Seventeenth Fleet surrounded, then sent Galon out to display his strength.
• Galon transformed into his Sacred Beast Kirin combat form, and his roar was heard throughout the Supercluster.
• Frasca confirmed Galon’s identity, and the Great Elders of the major clans pledged their loyalty to him.
• Trisi learned Galon’s energy intensity was 8,500 standard units and realized the Peiton Universe’s repulsive force suppressed foreign lifeforms.
• Trisi concluded that the Federal Fleet had turned the encirclement into a colosseum.

Galon demonstrated his overwhelming power by destroying the remnants of the Twenty-Second Fleet, which had surrounded Tris’s force, and demanded the allegiance of the Peiton Universe’s Biological Civilizations. The chapter ended with more than a thousand races swearing loyalty to him as their king.

• Tris ordered the remnants of the Twenty-Second Fleet to focus fire on Galon after his intensity surpassed 15,000 standard units.
• Galon used Thunderclap: Annihilation to erase space around himself and nullify the fleet’s attacks.
• Galon unleashed Thunderclap: World Annihilation, destroying nearly all the Twenty-Second Fleet’s remaining warships in six minutes.
• Galon declared himself king and invited anyone who objected to challenge him.
• The elders of the ten great clans and the leaders of more than a thousand Biological Civilization races swore allegiance to Galon.

After Galon destroyed nearly a hundred billion Tri-Union Civilization warships, Lin Fan ordered him to recover and launched attacks against the Tri-Union's scattered fleets across Peiton. At Hols, Vladimir learned that another fleet was under assault and feared it would soon be lost.

• Galon returned to Lin Fan's warship after his full-power attack left him exhausted and unstable, then collapsed and was scolded by Lin Fan in the medical bay.
• Lin Fan learned that Wang Hai and the others were in position among the Federation's detached fleets and ordered them to attack the Tri-Union fleets scattered across Peiton.
• Lin Fan ordered the Federation to monitor the Tri-Union main force at Hols and execute a second plan if it moved.
• Vladimir received news that the Seventeenth Fleet had been destroyed and wondered why the powerful Biological Civilization individual had not appeared sooner.
• Vladimir's adjutant reported that the Seventy-eighth Fleet was being attacked by two unknown God-tier Civilization fleets and was unlikely to hold out for half a day.

Vladimir learned that forty fleets were being attacked by enemy forces with overwhelming numbers of Black Hole Lifeforms and Peak Dark Energy Manipulators. He sent his headquarters fleets toward the Tris Supercluster, believing the move would draw the enemy back and let his scattered forces escape, but he had fallen into Lin Fan's trap.

• Vladimir received reports that forty fleets were under attack by two enemy fleets apiece, supported by Black Hole Lifeforms and Peak Dark Energy Manipulators.
• Vladimir rejected the adjutant's suggestion to reinforce a few battlefields, reasoning that the other fleets would be destroyed while his forces were occupied.
• Vladimir ordered every fleet at headquarters to set out for the Tris Supercluster.
• Vladimir expected the enemy commander to be at Tris and hoped his advance would force the attacking fleets to withdraw, allowing his scattered forces to escape.
• Vladimir planned to regroup his remaining fleets, unaware that Lin Fan had anticipated his move and trapped him.

Lin Fan’s forces drew the Hols Supercluster’s fifty fleets toward Tris while withdrawing their strongest fighters from battles across the Hell Supercluster. The enemy reached the Peiton Universe’s cosmic wall, and Lin Fan prepared the First Legion to meet them.

• The Azure Dragon Alliance First Legion learned that the Hols Supercluster’s fifty fleets had taken the bait, and Lin Fan ordered the battle plan into motion.
• Wang Hai received the order to begin the operation’s second phase and explained that Lin Fan’s twenty fleets would engage the enemy while his group returned to help destroy them.
• Wang Hai led the Civilization Guardians and Peak Dark Energy Manipulators away from the Hell Supercluster battlefields and into Black Hole Cavity Space.
• Lin Fan’s surveillance team reported that the enemy fleet had reached the cosmic wall, and he ordered the First Legion’s weapons warmed up.
• Lin Fan assigned Galon command of the local Biological Civilization forces.

The Federal Fleet used a specialized detonator warship to destroy nearly the entire Thirty-Ninth Fleet of the Tri-Union Civilization’s Second Legion and open a breach. As Galon and a local Biological Civilization group charged into the gap, Vladimir learned that the leader’s energy intensity exceeded ten thousand.

• Vladimir ordered five trillion Tri-Union warships to enter the Peiton Universe and attack the Federal Fleet, whose forces had prepared an ambush at their arrival point.
• Li Yan ordered the Seventh Fleet to protect an unmanned detonator warship, which fired a Black Hole Cavity Particle Detonator and disabled the Thirty-Ninth Fleet.
• Li Yan ordered Galon to attack through the flank breach after the particle eruptions subsided and told the Federal Fleet to intensify its bombardment until Wang Hai and the others arrived.
• Vladimir learned that the detonator might not be usable repeatedly and ordered a faster offensive while his officers reported a local Biological Civilization group led by a creature with an energy intensity index above ten thousand.

Vladimir ordered Haritro and the restricted Tri-Union forces to hold back Galon’s advance while he redeployed fleets to the exposed flank. Lin Fan exploited the redeployment, concentrating Federal fire on the crowded passage and plunging four enemy fleets into chaos as another attack struck.

• Vladimir ordered Haritro and the Peak Dark Energy Manipulators to delay Galon’s force without fighting head-on, and to protect the Black Hole Lifeforms at all costs.
• Lin Fan learned that Vladimir was sending three fleets to reinforce the flank and ordered the Federal Fleet to concentrate its fire on their route.
• The three fleets entered the passage through the Fifteenth Fleet, packing four fleets into the target area as Lin Fan waited for most of them to move inside.
• Lin Fan ordered all twenty Federal Fleets to fire, destroying more than three hundred billion warships and throwing the four fleets into disarray.
• Collisions and wreckage blocked the passage as enemy commanders tried to restore order, but the Federal Fleet launched a second wave of attacks.

The Federation’s assault devastated the Tri-Union fleets while Galon killed four of Haritro’s Black Hole Lifeforms. As Haritro prepared to sacrifice the remaining Peak Dark Energy Manipulators, Lin Fan received word that three hundred Civilization Guardians were in position and ordered them to attack from the enemy’s rear.

• The Federation destroyed over one trillion ships from the original four fleets in six waves of strikes.
• Galon’s forces slaughtered the Peak Dark Energy Manipulators while Galon pinned Rossi to lure Haritro and the other Black Hole Lifeforms into a charge.
• Galon killed three Black Hole Lifeforms with his black beam, then crushed Rossi, leaving Haritro’s group with six survivors.
• Haritro ordered the remaining Peak Dark Energy Manipulators to prepare self-detonation attacks on Galon.
• Wang Hai reported that three hundred Civilization Guardians had reached their positions, and Lin Fan ordered them to attack the enemy’s rear.

Vladimir realized the Federal Fleet had lured his forces into attacking the Tris Supercluster while its Black Hole Lifeforms and Peak Dark Energy Manipulators regrouped to strike his rear. The Federal Fleet emerged through the universe wall and endured the Second Legion’s concentrated barrage behind an intact Azure Defense Barrier.

• Vladimir ordered Haritro to proceed with the Peak Dark Energy Manipulators’ self-destruction operation, then learned that 1,000 enemy warships were breaching the universe wall behind his formation.
• Vladimir contacted his external fleets and learned the enemy’s Black Hole Lifeforms and Peak Dark Energy Manipulators had left the battles there, confirming his forces had been lured into a trap.
• Vladimir deployed seven reserve fleets to defend the rear and ordered twelve fleets to fire at the enemy’s calculated arrival point as soon as the warships emerged.
• Wang Hai and the other 300 Civilization Guardians arrived with 300,000 Peak Dark Energy Manipulators, and the Second Legion’s twelve fleets struck them as they crossed the universe wall.
• Wang Hai and the other Guardians raised an Azure Defense Barrier, which remained completely intact after absorbing the concentrated barrage.

Wang Hai’s forces broke into the Tri-Union Civilization’s rear lines while Lin Fan used the Chaos Mech to prepare a devastating attack on the trapped Peak Dark Energy Manipulators. The lightning prison was destroyed, and the ray’s target began to mutate.

• Vladimir watched the Tri-Union Civilization’s attack fail against the Defense Barrier as Wang Hai’s forces struck the legion’s incomplete rear defenses.
• Haritro ordered the Dark Energy User legion to launch self-destruct attacks, inflicting heavy losses on the native Biological Civilization forces.
• Lin Fan entered the battle in Luo Li’s Chaos Mech and asked Galon to restrain the enemy with Thunder Prison.
• Lin Fan activated the Chaos Mech’s third-stage mechanism and fired a Chaos Ray into the center of Galon’s lightning prison.
• Galon ordered the Peiton Biological Civilization forces to retreat, while Haritro’s forces broke the prison with self-destruction.
• The point illuminated by Lin Fan’s ray began to mutate.

Lin Fan and Galon annihilated the Tri-Union Civilization's Second Legion at Tris, with Lin Fan's artificial Micro White Hole destroying most of its top-tier fighters. The battle ended in a Federation victory, but its heavy losses left Lin Fan concerned that the Federation could not sustain repeated wars.

• Lin Fan unleashed an artificial Micro White Hole, whose energy eruption erased the Second Legion's black hole lifeforms and Peak Dark Energy Manipulators, while Haritro survived the blast severely wounded.
• Galon caught up with Haritro and killed him, leaving Vladimir as the Second Legion's only surviving top commander.
• The Micro White Hole's eruption subsided and settled into a steady energy source, while the Federation and its allies continued their assault on the Second Legion.
• The Second Legion's formation collapsed under the three-sided attack, and the Federation destroyed its last warship ten hours later.
• The Federation recorded heavy losses at Tris, including seventy million main force warships, one Civilization Guardian, and 5,281 Peak Dark Energy Manipulators; Lin Fan worried that its limited population could not sustain such losses.

The Federation expanded its legions and waited in the Peiton Universe while Montero led the Tailo Empire to a decisive victory over O'Neal’s forces. Montero was named the Tailo Empire’s God of War, and Sharet faced an open route to the Black Mang Empire’s capital.

• The Federation delayed its attack on the Tri-Union Civilization while it formed the Second and Third Legions and expanded the First Legion.
• In Federation Year 345, Montero led three Main Legions against O'Neal’s one Main Legion and four local legions inside the Black Mang Empire.
• Montero decisively defeated O'Neal’s forces at the cost of nearly half a legion and captured O'Neal alive.
• Valeri promoted Montero to first-class marquis and granted him the rare title of God of War of the Tailo Empire.
• Sharet panicked because the defeat left the Black Mang Empire’s capital less than five universes from the exposed front line.

The Azure Dragon Alliance launched a full-scale invasion of the Tri-Union Civilization after assembling three legions, while the Tri-Union elders faced the imminent destruction of their civilization. With their forces exhausted and no safe place to send their survivors, they considered seeking help from the God-tier Civilization in the Peiton Universe.

• Sharet assigned Barrot to command the Black Mang Empire’s two remaining Royal Guard Legions and quietly prepared Cui Wa’s Isolation Plan.
• After eight years of rebuilding and transporting two new legions to the Peiton Universe, Lin Fan led the Azure Dragon Alliance’s three legions toward the Tri-Union Civilization.
• Karoyev met with the other nine elders and asked what they should do as the enemy advanced toward their capital planet.
• The Seventh Elder proposed preserving the Tri-Union Civilization’s seeds and warning civilizations across the Kunsa Realm, suspecting the Kosa Empire and the Nar Republic had already been destroyed.
• Karoyev argued that the Seed Plan had nowhere to send survivors because the Tri-Union Civilization’s territory was surrounded and the Peiton Universe was now hostile.
• The Third Elder proposed negotiating with the God-tier Civilization in the Peiton Universe, and none of the elders objected.

The Black Church destroyed the Vio Supercluster as part of its campaign to cleanse heretics, while Bishop Jimenez prepared to move toward the Azure Dragon Universe. Meanwhile, Tri-Union Civilization leader Karoyev asked Lin Fan to protect his civilization, leaving Lin Fan seeking an explanation.

• Bishop Jimenez ordered Deacon Ratu to receive one thousand electric-whip lashes for suggesting they leave Vio before completing the cleansing.
• Jimenez declared that the Black Church would continue its holy war toward the Azure Dragon Universe without help from other divine envoys.
• Lin Fan led the Azure Dragon Alliance's three legions from the Peiton Universe toward Tri-Union Civilization's homeland.
• Karoyev, the Tri-Union Civilization's Chief Great Elder, contacted Lin Fan and requested his protection.
• Lin Fan questioned why a civilization he expected to fight wanted his protection, and Karoyev began explaining the situation.

Lin Fan learned that an Outer Realm Civilization had devastated the Tri-Union Civilization, and Luo Li identified the invaders as Black Hole Minions rather than Black Hole Cleaners. The Azure Dragon Alliance agreed to enter the Tri-Union Civilization's homeland and drive the invaders out of the Kunsa Realm under Lin Fan's command.

• Karoyev told Lin Fan that an Outer Realm Civilization had conquered three of the Tri-Union Civilization's five universes and destroyed nearly all its fleets.
• Lin Fan consulted Luo Li, who ruled out Black Hole Cleaners and powerful God-tier civilizations as the invaders.
• Luo Li explained that the invaders were Black Hole Minions, naturally born beings whose civilizations could cross realm walls with help from the Black Hole Cavity Consciousness.
• Lin Fan convened an Azure Dragon Alliance leadership meeting, and its leaders agreed to enter the Tri-Union Civilization's homeland, absorb its remaining forces, and put Lin Fan in charge of driving the invaders out of the Kunsa Realm.

The Azure Dragon Alliance took in the Tri-Union Civilization, and Lin Fan assumed command of its last legion as the Black Church advanced on the Flot Universe. Lin Fan sent Li Yan and a force of Alliance legions and Tri-Union fighters to attack the enemy’s divided forces, while Cardinal Pirris ordered Randall to clear a passage through a newly detected fleet.

• The Azure Dragon Alliance and the Tri-Union Civilization agreed that the Alliance would shelter the civilization, take command of its last legion, and return one of its five universes after the war.
• The Tri-Union Civilization evacuated toward the Peiton Universe as the Black Church finished purging three universes and moved toward Flot.
• In Federation Year 372, Lin Fan’s three legions reached the Flot Universe and learned that ten Black Church legions were approaching along three routes.
• Lin Fan chose to strike two enemy forces separately before facing the third in Flot, and Li Yan departed with the Alliance’s First through Third Legions and Tri-Union fighters.
• Cardinal Pirris ordered Randall to send the Seventh Legion to clear a passage through the fleet detected ahead of the Crusader Army.

Lin Fan’s forces ambushed and overwhelmed Randall’s Seventh Legion, while Archbishop Piris rushed to reinforce them to prevent the defeat from undermining the Crusader Army’s faith. The legion was collapsing as Piris ordered the Holy Warships to push their engines beyond safe limits and arrive sooner.

• Randall led the Seventh Legion ahead of the Crusader Army, then discovered that three enemy legions—not the Tri-Union fleet—were waiting for them.
• Lin Fan sent nearly a thousand Civilization Guardians to break the Seventh Legion’s formation, then attacked from three directions and surrounded it.
• Randall sent his one hundred purple-robed bishops to open a breach, but they were slaughtered within five minutes.
• Randall tried to rally his collapsing troops by promising that Archbishop Piris was coming, while the legion’s losses passed twenty percent.
• Piris learned that the attackers were likely heretics from the Azure Dragon Universe and ordered the Holy Warships to run their engines at 120 percent power to reach Randall within three hours.

Lin Fan’s fleets abandoned their attack on Randall and used a sudden speed burst to ambush Archbishop Piris’s forces while they prayed. Piris’s fleet was surrounded and devastated, but he gathered hundreds of purple-robed bishops and prepared to fight back, unaware that the Federation had plenty of powerful Black Hole Lifeforms.

• Randall learned that Lin Fan’s fleets had stopped attacking his Seventh Legion and were heading toward Piris, leaving Randall with only about twenty percent of his warships.
• Lin Fan ordered the Second and Third Legions to unlock their Black Hole Engines at full power just before reaching Piris’s fleet.
• Piris’s forces were caught praying when Lin Fan’s fleets arrived, and the first attacks destroyed warships while nearly a thousand Civilization Guardians stormed the formation.
• Piris recognized that his fleet was doomed and gathered three hundred purple-robed bishops around his flagship to try to turn the battle around.

Archbishop Piris’s force confronted Wang Hai’s squad, and Piris sent Jimenez away with two hundred Purple-robed Bishops while he held off the enemy. The Azure Dragon Alliance wiped out the remaining Crusader force, then Lin Fan ordered the fleet to intercept another Crusader group before it could join the central army.

• Piris led three hundred Purple-robed Bishops into battle against Wang Hai’s one hundred fighters and realized his side was outmatched.
• Piris ordered Jimenez to retreat with two hundred Purple-robed Bishops while he stayed behind with the other hundred to delay Wang Hai.
• Wang Hai chose not to pursue Jimenez’s retreating force, expecting other squads to deal with them later and aiming to avoid casualties.
• After ten hours, the Azure Dragon Alliance wiped out three Crusader Army legions and three hundred Purple-robed Bishops; Jimenez was the only one to escape.
• Lin Fan declined to send Wang Hai after Jimenez and ordered the fleet to assemble and intercept the other route.
• A Crusader force of three legions changed course to join the central army, but the Federal Fleet was positioned to intercept it before it could rendezvous.

Elishael investigated the defeat of Pierce’s Crusader Army and feared the Heretics’ Black Hole Engines could let them destroy his forces before they rendezvoused. Three months later, the army commanded by Bels was wiped out, while Lin Fan reviewed the Azure Dragon Alliance’s costly victory and prepared for the next battle.

• Elishael ordered Sand to seal the news of Pierce’s defeat and eliminate or reeducate those who knew about it.
• Elishael studied Pierce’s battle report and suspected the Heretics had concealed Black Hole Engine speeds far beyond what the Crusaders expected.
• Three months later, Elishael learned that Bels’s Crusader Army had been ambushed, surrounded, and wiped out.
• Elishael assessed that his remaining army had no clear advantage over the Heretics despite having more main fleets.
• Lin Fan received the battle results: the Azure Dragon Alliance had lost many warships and soldiers but destroyed vast enemy forces and a miniature Starry Sky Continent.

Lin Fan devised a way to avoid a costly head-on battle by sending unmanned Transport Ships to destroy a Fault Channel behind Elishael’s army. The channel began to collapse, and Elishael realized the Federation had launched Dark Judgment against him.

• Elishael halted his four-legion Crusader Army and prepared to defend against Lin Fan’s forces.
• Lin Fan ordered one trillion Transport Ships converted for basic unmanned navigation and asked Luo Li to calculate how to destroy a Fault Channel.
• Luo Li warned that destroying Fault Channels was dangerous, but agreed after Lin Fan explained that it could prevent the loss of tens of trillions of warships.
• Lin Fan sent 50 billion Transport Ships carrying Black Hole Cavity Particle storage modules through a Fault Channel behind Elishael’s army.
• Elishael and Sand discussed why the enemy had not appeared, then ordered their forces to remain alert and monitor Black Hole Cavity Space.
• An alarm reported an anomaly in the Fault Channel behind Elishael, and the central control room identified it as Dark Judgment.

Elishael escaped the annihilation of the central-route Crusader Army after a Black Judgment destroyed it, and Lin Fan pursued him to capture him for intelligence. As Lin Fan and Galon approached, Elishael detected them and launched an attack.

• Elishael refused to abandon his fleet at first, but Sand persuaded him to flee so his survival could protect the Black Church from a devastating loss of faith.
• A year later, the Black Judgment annihilated the central-route Crusader Army, while Elishael remained on the run as Target No. 2.
• Lin Fan ordered Liang Xue to pursue and capture Elishael, then set out with Galon aboard a single vessel.
• Elishael sensed the pursuing vessel, stopped to face it, and fired a pitch-black beam of Black Hole Energy.

Lin Fan captured Elishael and began expanding the Federation’s control across the Kosa Empire and Nar Republic. As Montero launched a major offensive against the Black Mang Empire, its First Imperial Guard Legion stalled his advance by refusing to leave the Task Universe.

• Lin Fan and Galon subdued Elishael, and Lin Fan drained his Black Hole Cavity Particles before taking him prisoner.
• Elishael’s capture completed the annihilation of the Continental Crusader Army.
• By Federation Year 380, the Federation controlled the five universes formerly held by the Tri-Union Civilization, and Lin Fan later sent forces to take over the Kosa Empire and Nar Republic.
• By Federation Year 398, Montero had assembled four and a half Main Legions and deployed them in the Task Universe to advance against the Black Mang Empire.
• The Black Mang Empire’s First Imperial Guard Legion entrenched itself in the Task Universe and refused to come out, stalling Montero’s offensive.
