Chapter Summaries

Li Aoz fought back against Seeds’s Void army using a collection of cost-free Social Institutions. He left Seeds stunned as he revealed that he had over four hundred institutions at his disposal.

• Seeds healed himself, reshaped eight High Table Knights, and summoned a massive Void army to overwhelm Li Aoz.
• Li Aoz blasted the approaching forces with gravity and decay radiation, then used a black umbrella institution to cut down the High Table Knights.
• Li Aoz explained that Social Institutions cost no mana, energy, or stamina, so he could save his resources for stronger attacks.
• Li Aoz drew a short blade and a thick book from the Dogmatic Spacetime Belt, revealing that he carried over four hundred institutions.

Li Aoz unleashed the collapsed Deadhead Society onto Dragon Satellite, where its freed citizens fought off Seeds’s Void army despite the nihilistic Narrative. Seeds’s forces began to fall back as Li Aoz recognized the battle axe’s origin and the strength of the society it had released.

• Li Aoz used Weak Force: Collapse Induction on a battle axe and disc, scattering the Deadhead Society’s people and land across Dragon Satellite.

• Li Aoz recognized the battle axe as the war fortress of the Deadhead Society and realized its freed citizens could resist Narrative influence through their social unity.

Li Aoz turned the battle against Seeds by unleashing the Deadhead Orcs and liberating more Social Institutions, leaving Seeds unable to kill him or stop the growing counterattack. Seeds blamed Lioz for his defeat and insisted that he, not Lioz, was the true protagonist chosen by the Star Abyss.

• Seeds realized that he could neither kill Li Aoz nor keep fighting without risking his true body and worsening his standing with the Void.
• Seeds clenched his fist, called Lioz a traitor, and demanded to know why he had to confront him when he believed himself to be the true transmigrator chosen by the Star Abyss.

• Lioz emerged from the cocoon in white robes with a blade, welcomed back to the Star Abyss by Source Abyss Celestial Lord Sorao Piarinus.

Lioz used the moon’s Authority and his newly revealed Nothingness ability to overwhelm Seeds, erasing his Void defenses and forcing him back into his God Samurai form. The chapter ended as Lioz summoned the Moonlight Followers to take their positions.

• Lioz and the three Moonlight Followers repeatedly attacked Seeds, throwing his body, senses, and consciousness into chaos while leaving him unable to fight back.
