Chapter Summaries

Otsutsuki Kaguya and Aburame Tetsumaru discussed the risks of the Zenith Civilization pursuing otherworld travel before Kaguya told him that Orochimaru and Orochihime could no longer merge. At the Floating Castle, Tetsumaru and the other Advent stabilized their fractured souls and created a Mortal Pure Land, leaving the pair alive but shaken by how close they had come to death.

• Otsutsuki Kaguya explained that Karma could not answer her questions about otherworld transmission, and she and Aburame Tetsumaru debated whether the Otsutsuki Civilization had left the universe or met disaster.
• Aburame Tetsumaru said he still wanted the Zenith Civilization to reach beyond the universe, and Otsutsuki Kaguya revealed that Orochimaru and Orochihime could not merge back together.
• Orochimaru and Orochihime left Mitsuki to care for their siblings and went to the Floating Castle, where Aburame Tetsumaru found their souls severely fractured and close to disintegrating.
• Aburame Tetsumaru, Ash Bone, Doctor, and Uzumaki stabilized Orochimaru and Orochihime with Sealing Techniques and created a Mortal Pure Land using Pure Land power.
• Orochimaru and Orochihime felt their agitation subside and realized they had nearly died; Orochimaru thanked Aburame Tetsumaru, while Orochihime recognized that her Curse Mark Reincarnation plan could not have preserved her identity.

Aburame Tetsumaru explained that Orochimaru and Orochihime’s soul-splitting crisis came from lacking a Golden Core, and they began cultivating Senjutsu to resolve it. He then turned to the Red Dynasty’s looming war against the Gods Fortress and ordered the army to attack it directly.

• Orochimaru recounted how his Clone Locust experiments created Orochihime and more great snakes, whose escalating soul damage left them unable to save themselves.
• Aburame Tetsumaru explained that a Golden Core unified his soul and allowed him to split thought cores safely, while Orochimaru and Orochihime had split themselves without a higher-level self to integrate them.
• Aburame Tetsumaru presented forced fusion through an Advent Ritual or cultivating Senjutsu as solutions, and Orochimaru and Orochihime chose to cultivate Senjutsu at Ryūchi Cave.
• Aburame Tetsumaru assessed the Red Dynasty’s rapid expansion and its preparations to attack the heavily fortified Gods Fortress.
• When officers proposed building an iron fleet or other ways around the fortress, Aburame Tetsumaru dismissed the plans and ordered them to hit the fortress directly.

Aburame Tetsumaru told Teacher how he had condensed his Golden Core, and Teacher quickly formed his own before rushing into the Sun to test a breakthrough. Aburame Tetsumaru turned to the three-month-old war in the New World, where Dragons faced Red Army aircraft and learned that their struggle for the sky was only a minor game beside the Abyss purge.

• Aburame Tetsumaru explained his Golden Core method to Teacher, who condensed a golden, perfectly round core in eleven minutes.
• Teacher announced that he understood what to do, plunged into the Sun, and left Aburame Tetsumaru to attend to his own work.
• A blue Dragon detected Red Army fighter planes diving from the Sun and led six Dragons into evasive maneuvers as the aircraft fired at them.
• The four fighter planes withdrew, and the blue Dragon retreated with its group to avoid the more dangerous Flying Hedgehogs.
• The blue Dragon told a scarred, black Dragon that it feared Dragons no longer ruled the sky, and the older Dragon explained that the Abyss purge—not this human war—decided who controlled it.

The Red Army ended its two-month stalemate at the Last Castle after driving the Dragons from the skies and unleashing a massive artillery and aerial bombardment. The fortress complex was destroyed, Marquis Boman was buried in the ruins, and its defenders lost the ability to resist.

• The Sack Empire celebrated fabricated victories while Marquis Boman grew confident that his large army and the coming winter would secure his position against Emperor Paul and the Red Army.
• Aburame Tetsumaru and the thirteen financial conglomerates pushed to end the war, and the Red Army Air Force forced the Dragons to retreat despite heavy losses and unreliable fuel.
• On July 25, twenty Yugong Siege Cannons reached the front, and the Red Army began a carefully coordinated bombardment of the Last Castle.
• After adjusting their aim, the artillery crews saturated the fortress complex with shells while Hundred-Armed Giant aircraft dropped fifteen-ton King of Bombs.
• Marquis Boman and his officers ordered a retreat, but a King of Bombs toppled their castle and buried them, leaving the fortress defenders scattered and unable to resist.

Aburame Tetsumaru exploited the Gods’ restrictions on direct intervention as the Red Army routed the Sack Empire and swept deep into its territory. By August 12, the capital was surrounded, but the Mages of Zaku City unexpectedly chose to resist.

• Aburame Tetsumaru understood that the Gods could not directly attack the New World without risking catastrophic destruction, though their power still kept him from fully using his strength.
• Dragons attacked the Red Army’s aircraft, but withdrew when Hundred-Armed Giants arrived, while both sides honored an agreement not to attack downed pilots or landed Dragons.
• After breaking through the last fortress, more than four hundred thousand Red Army troops advanced into the Sack Empire, capturing nobles, executing those guilty of severe crimes, and freeing Serfs.
• On August 12, one hundred and twenty thousand Red Army soldiers surrounded the Sack Empire’s capital, where the Mages announced they would resist and defend the power of magic.

Aburame Tetsumaru’s artillery annihilated Zaku City’s magical defenses and crushed the Mages’ attempt to challenge the Red Army, while he used capital and a diversionary war against the Gods to undermine the old order. By May, the Gods began falling into unexplained slumber, and fear spread among them.

• Aburame Tetsumaru ordered the Red Army to bombard Zaku City beyond visual range after learning its many magical defenses were anchored by magic towers and Altars.
• The Red Army’s artillery shattered the city’s layered shields and destroyed its magical weapons and buildings, killing or leaving missing at least three hundred Mages.
• Aburame Tetsumaru supported the thirteen conglomerates while punishing attempts by capital to seize political privileges, and the conglomerates used postwar construction to spread new values.
• No. 3 Aburame Tetsumaru sent the Insect Swarm across the New World, drawing the Gods’ forces into a supernatural war as Dragonfly Angels confronted their Angels and Messengers of God.
• By March of the second year after the war, money had become the measure of faith and human relationships, while the Gods underestimated the danger to their influence.
• In May, the God of Music suddenly fell asleep, followed by other Gods, leaving them afraid.

The Gods discovered that Aburame Tetsumaru’s reforms had spread greed through humanity and threatened their existence, so they decided to deify him as a way to force him to address the crisis. Meanwhile, Aburame Tetsumaru stamped new commercial laws as capital expanded across the conquered territories and transformed old kingdoms and industries.

• The Gods traced their spreading slumber to Aburame Tetsumaru’s influence, and the God of Justice and God of War argued over whether they should kill him.
• The God of Knowledge proposed making Aburame Tetsumaru a god, and the Order Dominator confirmed that he already met every condition to become an independent Chief God.
• The Gods accepted that they had to perform the deification ritual, despite fearing that the new Chief God would claim part of their divine bodies.
• Number Four Aburame Tetsumaru spent the morning stamping thousands of copies of laws regulating commerce and corporate competition.
• Capital surged through the newly conquered territories, drawing nonhuman peoples into the economy and dismantling traditional rules.
• The Elven Queen died amid opposition, the Prince seized the throne, and the Dwarf King joined the Third Steel Consortium, which absorbed rival steel consortiums and advanced toward a Syndicate model.

Aburame Tetsumaru received the Lord of Order’s oracle declaring that he met the conditions for deification, and learned how the process worked. He accepted the oracle but insisted on using an Altar built by the Red Dynasty Capital Empire, leaving his followers to celebrate his rise as an independent god.

• The dwarves abandoned the God of Dwarves and Craftsmen and began worshipping Aburame Tetsumaru as the God of Wealth, while many other races also revered him.
• The new High Priest of the Order Dominator knelt before Aburame Tetsumaru and presented the Oracle’s Proof, which announced that he was to be deified.
• Aburame Tetsumaru received the oracle’s information and learned the requirements and stages of deification, including the creation of a new Divine Authority shaped by his achievements and believers’ faith.
• Aburame Tetsumaru accepted the oracle and set the ceremony for after three months of transferring power, but ordered the Administrative Council to build an Altar instead of using the Lord of Order’s.
• When his guards and staff knelt in excitement, Aburame Tetsumaru ordered them to stand, and his followers realized he would become an independent god rather than a subordinate of any Chief God.

Aburame Tetsumaru prepared to use the Empire’s immense faith and a colossal Altar to become a God, while the Gods watched for signs that faith might turn him into a godspawn. After completing a partial sanctification of his soul and finishing the Altar, he stood ready to undergo investiture alongside fallen Red Army soldiers.

• The Red Dynasty Capital Empire celebrated Aburame Tetsumaru’s planned investiture, and citizens united to build him a vast Altar.
• The Gods feared that the Demon’s new divine form might lose control under the weight of faith, while Six Aburame Tetsumaru and Number Seven Aburame Tetsumaru set out to prepare the sun and outer Gas Giants for possible intervention.
• No. 3 Aburame Tetsumaru recognized that investiture could unify the multiple centers of thought among his incarnations and studied the Gods’ conceptual nature and the information he had received from the Lord of Order.
• Aburame Tetsumaru expanded the Altar blueprint tenfold in every dimension, and the High Priest of the Lord of Order assisted with its construction.
• Using Chakra from No. 3 Aburame Tetsumaru’s base, Number Four Tetsumaru partially sanctified his soul without the process spreading to his other incarnations.
• The giant Altar was completed with six monuments to fallen Red Army soldiers, and Aburame Tetsumaru prepared to undergo investiture with them.

Aburame Tetsumaru rejected the Lord of Order’s offer and forced his own ascension, arriving on God Star as a self-made god. His attempt to form a divine body triggered a mental war among his many selves, which ended with his divine soul vastly strengthened and his divine body already larger than that of a mid-level god.

• Aburame Tetsumaru used the altar and the Ring of Divine Power to ascend ahead of the scheduled ceremony, burning away his body and declaring that he would become a god without the Lord of Order’s recognition.
• Aburame Tetsumaru’s divine soul struck the Platform of Godhood on God Star, then entered the planet to claim a divine body, enraging and alarming the gathered gods.
• Aburame Tetsumaru’s ascension linked his thought cores, Avatars, Shadow Clones, and other soul fragments, while the hopes and curses of New World’s people threatened to contaminate his consciousness.
• Number Four Aburame Tetsumaru, corrupted by faith, fought Aburame Tetsumaru’s main self for control as Number Three, Number Five, and Six Tetsumaru became battlegrounds in their mental war.
• Aburame Tetsumaru’s linked selves overwhelmed the ascension rules and restored Number Four’s awareness, ending the conflict with his divine soul several hundred times larger and his divine body surpassing a mid-level god’s size.

Aburame Tetsumaru became the God of Civilization by combining numerous Divine Authorities, then fought the Gods of God Star as they tried to destroy him. Forced underground by all thirty-two Chief Gods, he lost contact with his believers but found something beneath God Star that drew his attention away from the war.

• Aburame Tetsumaru chose political, military, industrial, cultural, and other Divine Authorities, then merged them with education into the Divine Authority of Civilization and named himself Civilization Mentor.
• Aburame Tetsumaru completed his ascension, strengthened his divine body by absorbing divine matter, and withstood attacks from minor gods after the divine power passage closed.
• The God of War and Goddess of Night organized an attack with eleven other Chief Gods, whose combined power shattered Aburame Tetsumaru's barrier and damaged his divine body.
• Aburame Tetsumaru adapted to the Chief Gods' attacks and prolonged the God War with organic and Mushroom tactics, but all thirty-two Chief Gods eventually drove him underground.
• The Gods questioned how Civilization Mentor could survive without faith, while the God of War stabilized his Divine Authority after suppressing him.
• Aburame Tetsumaru abandoned his planned underground hit-and-run tactics after discovering something important beneath God Star.

Aburame Tetsumaru discovered that God Star’s conditions let him gather clear data on Chakra, then used a swift counterattack to force the Gods to negotiate an end to the war. After replenishing his Chakra, he resumed his research on God Star and concluded that Chakra consisted of programmed Sea Quark Pairs.

• Aburame Tetsumaru found that electromagnetic radiation near God Star’s Neutron Star core made Chakra vanish and produced measurable changes, allowing him to gather useful research data.
• Aburame Tetsumaru paused his experiments to attack lesser Gods, then defeated several subordinate Gods in the God of War’s pantheon and clashed with the God of War himself.

• Aburame Tetsumaru agreed to several concessions and secured the condition that the Gods could not attack him first without facing his retaliation.
• Aburame Tetsumaru arranged for the Red Dynasty Capital Empire to build Altars, received Chakra from the tenth hidden Altar, and concluded that Chakra was made of programmed Sea Quark Pairs.

Aburame Tetsumaru deduced how Chakra Particles and Truth-Seeking Orbs worked, but remained unable to explain how the Otsutsuki had compressed Chakra so intensely. He forced Otsutsuki Hagoromo to produce Truth-Seeking Orbs for research, and Hagoromo’s exhaustion gave way to renewed motivation as he saw his training improve his strength.

• Aburame Tetsumaru concluded that Chakra Particles were stabilized, isolated Quarks and explained how their compression caused Truth-Seeking Orbs to absorb light, though he could not determine how the Otsutsuki achieved that compression.
• Aburame Tetsumaru made Otsutsuki Hagoromo produce Truth-Seeking Orbs for three months while Zetsu Kuro supervised and mocked him.
• Aburame Tetsumaru used Insight to study the Orbs as Hagoromo produced and maintained them, gathering data on their transformations.
• After one hundred days of relentless work, Otsutsuki Hagoromo became physically and mentally exhausted and resented Aburame Tetsumaru.
• Aburame Tetsumaru promised to release Hagoromo after another fifty days, and Hagoromo’s relief restored his vigor as he recognized that his Chakra control and strength had improved.
• Aburame Tetsumaru continued collecting data while Number Seven’s thought-body took over his primary thinking capacity.

Aburame Tetsumaru unified his avatars and external bodies, built a divine relay through Six Tetsumaru’s newborn Brown Dwarf, and filled the New World’s orbits with satellites. As the Gods divided over whether to oppose him or destroy the world, he secured the God of Knowledge as an ally and strengthened the balance that kept the New World safe.

• Aburame Tetsumaru used the newborn Brown Dwarf as an energy source and began building a divine power relay to connect the New World and the Red Dynasty Empire.
• No. 3 Aburame Tetsumaru launched more than thirty thousand rockets in twenty hours, deploying over three hundred thousand Satellite Insects across the New World’s orbits.

• Aburame Tetsumaru welcomed the God of Knowledge into the Civilization Alliance as an independent ally, strengthening his position against the Pro-War Faction.

Aburame Tetsumaru judged that God Star would avoid another God War and turned to studying the God Tree’s newly unlocked ability to convert solar energy directly into Chakra. As the experiment began, the Zenith Civilization’s researchers recognized the God Tree as a mobile planetary lifeform and reconsidered the Otsutsuki Homeworld’s strength; the chapter ended with the solar storm subsiding and conditions becoming ideal for observation.

• Aburame Tetsumaru concluded that the God of War and other gods would not risk starting a God War, then descended beneath God Star to continue his Chakra research.
• Sun Insects cooled a solar storm while Umbrella Insects and the God Tree absorbed its matter and heat, producing Chakra throughout the Solar System.
• Aburame Tetsumaru and Otsutsuki Kaguya observed the God Tree’s vast planetary form and its developing engine, which they believed could propel it through space.
• After a massive solar eruption damaged the Dyson Sphere but the God Tree survived and healed, Aburame Tetsumaru, Warhammer, and the other Advents revised their assessment of Otsutsuki Star’s combat strength.
• Aburame Tetsumaru led a team of researchers in studying the God Tree’s Chakra-production process as the solar storm battered it.
• The storm and Chakra Torrent subsided, stabilizing the God Tree’s energy flow and creating ideal conditions for observation.

Aburame Tetsumaru and the Advents completed a model of Chakra Particles, discovering how they were manufactured and how their vibrations determined Chakra’s attributes. The chapter ended with Aburame Tetsumaru demonstrating that calculated spiritual-power frequencies could produce many different Kekkei Genkai Releases.

• The Advents coordinated their observations of the God Tree’s Chakra reactor and used the collected data to simulate its manufacturing process.
• The experiments revealed how magnetic fields dismantled atoms, accelerated protons until they broke into Quarks and Gluons, and recombined them into Chakra Particles.
• Aburame Tetsumaru presented the Chakra Particle Model, showing a Quark shell containing a Gluon control program, and warned that Chakra might reproduce itself uncontrollably.
• Aburame Tetsumaru explained that Chakra’s vibrational frequency determined its nature and that adjusting spiritual power to a calculated frequency could create Kekkei Genkai Releases.
• Aburame Tetsumaru formed numerous different Kekkei Genkai Releases before a stunned Orochihime and the silent gathering in Star Sea Hall.

Aburame Tetsumaru explained Chakra’s speed limits, then unveiled Divine Technique: Creation, which transformed Chakra into arbitrary matter and was made public to all Advent. The breakthrough left Eighth Master calculating that a Planet Fortress could now be rebuilt in just twenty-two months, frustrating pioneers whose long construction project was nearly finished.

• Aburame Tetsumaru explained that ninjutsu speed was limited by mental energy and matter, while pure Chakra such as a Rasengan could move much faster.
• Uchiha Sanae lent Orochihime the Mangekyō Sharingan’s senses, and Orochihime asked Sanae to help with her research; Sanae agreed to form an alliance.
• Aburame Tetsumaru demonstrated Divine Technique: Creation, transforming Chakra into elements and molecules and printing a sphere of silicon dioxide.
• Aburame Tetsumaru uploaded Divine Technique: Creation to the Star Sea Hall and made it public to all Advent.
• Eighth Master calculated that the new technology could reduce Planet Fortress construction to twenty-two months, even as his own seventeen-year project neared completion.

Aburame Tetsumaru shared Divine Technique: Creation and Insect Swarm techniques, accelerating Zenith Civilization’s research and evolution. When the Advent working on Ultimate Producer Worker Drones doubted their project’s value, he persuaded them that the technology was essential for supporting explorers, Paid Workers, and expeditionary forces far from civilization’s infrastructure.

• Aburame Tetsumaru uploaded Divine Technique: Creation to the Star Sea Hall for qualified Advent to study, requiring them to share future improvements.
• Aburame Tetsumaru released Insect Swarm Senjutsu converted into ninjutsu, while Zenith Civilization’s Insect Swarm continued developing stronger units and transformation technologies.
• The Advent at the technical exchange conference witnessed Aburame Tetsumaru rapidly rebuild and enlarge Kunlun Mountain using Divine Technique: Creation.
• Aburame Tetsumaru explained that Ultimate Producer Worker Drones remained valuable because they could supply materials and manufacturing in places without abundant Chakra or infrastructure.
• Aburame Tetsumaru urged the Advent to improve Ultimate Producers so explorers, Paid Workers, and distant forces fighting the Otsutsuki Clan could operate independently.

Aburame Tetsumaru encouraged a group of young Advent researchers and confronted the Shinobi World’s growing social decay. Namikaze Naruto, leader of the Salvation Society, asked him to cut off Zenith Civilization’s resources so the Shinobi World could endure an apocalypse and possibly be reborn.

• Aburame Tetsumaru rallied thirty young Advent researchers, then explained to Otsutsuki Kaguya why he treated the rare research talents with care.
• Zenith Civilization’s leaders struggled with the Shinobi World’s worsening corruption, and Aburame Tetsumaru brutally punished people who tried to seize Core Bearer examination slots.
• After ten years of investigation, the Salvation Society formed a plan to save the Shinobi World, and Namikaze Naruto asked Aburame Tetsumaru to end its resource supply.
• Namikaze Naruto told Aburame Tetsumaru that simulations showed continued supplies led to the Shinobi World’s eventual collapse, while a resource cutoff might bring catastrophe but offer a chance of renewal.
• Namikaze Naruto declared that the Salvation Society would unleash the apocalypse and gamble on the Shinobi World’s rebirth.

Aburame Tetsumaru defended his support for the Salvation Society’s plan to end Zenith Civilization’s resource aid, arguing with Otsutsuki Hagoromo over responsibility for the Shinobi World’s suffering. As the resource cuts began, Tetsumaru prepared to resolve Asura and Indra’s lingering influence, leaving the Shinobi World’s transformation underway and the age of ninjas nearing its end.

• Aburame Tetsumaru argued that he had accepted Namikaze Naruto’s request to withdraw Zenith Civilization’s support, while Otsutsuki Hagoromo condemned the plan for endangering hundreds of millions of people.
• Aburame Tetsumaru accused Otsutsuki Hagoromo of causing past disasters through misguided decisions, and Hagoromo left Kunlun Mountain in a huff after the argument.
• Two days later, Aburame Tetsumaru told Otsutsuki Kaguya that resource supplies to the Shinobi World were being reduced by ten percent each month and would end that year.
• Aburame Tetsumaru explained that Naruto had publicly taken responsibility for the cuts to protect Zenith Civilization from the Shinobi World’s anger, and said Naruto would undergo an Advent Ritual to merge with Asura’s will.
• Aburame Tetsumaru said he had handed Sasuke, who was parasitized by Indra, to Uchiha Itachi, and anticipated that the Shinobi World would eventually lose its ninjas, villages, and name.
