Ainz and Albedo faced a massive assault by more than a thousand Judgment Throne Angels, while Demiurge warned that the enemy was trying to draw Albedo away or force Ainz to waste powerful items. Ainz chose to endure the attack and fight until his Super-Tier Magic recovered, while Tang Zheng regretted that neither trap had worked.

The Platinum Dragon Lord and Tang Zheng’s Shadow Clone attacked what they believed was Shalltear, only to discover Cocytus had disguised himself as her. Nazarick’s trap was sprung, leaving the Platinum Dragon Lord weakened and Solution poised to seal him.

• The Platinum Dragon Lord agreed with Tang Zheng’s Shadow Clone to target the Sorcerer Kingdom’s northwestern force, while the Shadow Clone sought to confirm whether Shalltear had truly been resurrected.
• The Platinum Dragon Lord and the Shadow Clone teleported to Shalltear’s battlefield and launched a surprise attack, but Shalltear and the Snow Women blocked their opening strikes.
• The disguised Shalltear removed a Transformation Necklace and revealed himself as Cocytus, who said he had orders to capture the Platinum Dragon Lord alive.
• Demiurge activated the trap, sacrificing three hundred Elder Liches to cast Grand Sacrifice and lower the Platinum Dragon Lord’s Justice Value.
• Solution emerged from Cocytus’s shadow and produced a Sealing Crystal as the Platinum Dragon Lord was caught by the spell.

Solution used a Sealing Crystal to cast Orisis's Judgment, lowering the Platinum Dragon Lord's Justice Value and enabling Cocytus to trap him in a punishing fight. The Platinum Dragon Lord and Cocytus were both badly wounded when Tang Zheng's Shadow Clone offered a way to restrain Cocytus by luring him into the barrier.

• Solution activated Orisis's Judgment, driving the Platinum Dragon Lord's Justice Value to its minimum while Cocytus pursued him through a World Teleportation escape.
• Cocytus used Acala Punishing Rope to prevent the Platinum Dragon Lord from evading, and the Platinum Dragon Lord answered with a devastating Wild Magic attack that badly damaged Cocytus.
• Cocytus recovered enough to counterattack, piercing the Platinum Dragon Lord with Kurikara Sword and landing further strikes that left both fighters wounded.
• The Platinum Dragon Lord realized Cocytus's attacks were unusually powerful and could not be dodged, while Tang Zheng's Shadow Clone offered to lure Cocytus into the barrier to restrain him.

Silver retreated from Cocytus after learning that the Theocracy’s Godkin could wound him, but Cocytus’s pursuit brought him back into Tang Zheng’s trap. As the Cardinals learned that the Theocracy’s elite forces had been devastated, Tang Zheng’s Insecticide spell struck Cocytus’s exposed body and left him screaming in pain.

• Silver chose to retreat toward Tang Zheng’s Shadow Clone, and Cocytus pursued him with Frost Aura and World Teleportation.

• At the Theocracy’s secret meeting, the Cardinals received word that all 1,000 members of the Magic Caster Corps had been killed and that the Cleric Corps had sacrificed itself to form an Angel army.
• Water Cardinal Gael defended the decision to commit the Theocracy’s forces and urged the Cardinals to prepare for the worst, including the Human Spark Project.
• Tang Zheng’s Shadow Clone was frozen by Cocytus’s breath, but the Insecticide spell struck Cocytus’s exposed body and caused him unbearable pain.

Shadow Clone Tang Zheng and the Platinum Dragon Lord defeated Cocytus using upgraded Insecticide magic, but the Platinum Dragon Lord decided they had to retreat because both were badly hurt. Cocytus revived in Nazarick, where Demiurge revealed his defeat had served the plan, and Sebas took the World Item [Blade of Billions] before vowing to capture the Platinum Dragon Lord and kill Tang Zheng.

• Cocytus attacked Shadow Clone Tang Zheng, but Tang Zheng broke free and urged the Platinum Dragon Lord to keep him occupied while he cast upgraded Insecticide.

• Demiurge explained that Cocytus had served as bait and that the battle had gathered information while injuring the Platinum Dragon Lord.
• Cocytus gave Sebas the World Item [Blade of Billions], and Sebas vowed to capture the Platinum Dragon Lord and eliminate Tang Zheng.

Demiurge redirected Mare from the Southwestern Battlefield to help intercept the Platinum Dragon Lord, leaving Aura and her monster army to advance on Li Roble. As the Theocracy forces and Blue Roses prepared to face them, Evileye chose to stay, and a mysterious Crown member named Glory arrived at the front.

• Sebas offered to go to the battlefield, but Pandora alerted Demiurge to the Platinum Dragon Lord's escape, so Demiurge ordered Mare to the Northwestern Battlefield and planned to leave Aura exposed as bait.
• Aura and Mare saw the packed harbor and fleeing crowds around Li Roble and eagerly prepared to destroy the humans there.
• The Earth Dust Scripture, Clearwater Scripture, and Blue Roses confronted Aura's approaching monster army, while Lakyus refused to flee and her companions chose to stand with her.
• Evileye offered to teleport Gagaran, Tia, and Tina to safety but decided to remain, unwilling to risk losing her place in Crown.
• A black-haired spear-wielder passed through the Scripture forces, whose captains treated him with respect, and Evileye recognized him as Glory.

As the Sorcerer Kingdom’s monster horde threatened the southwestern front, Riku trapped it behind a barrier while the Slane Theocracy prepared a desperate counterattack. Tang Zheng watched from Floating City as the One Cain Abel appeared, and Aura and Mare approached the battlefield.

• The God-kin Captain warned Lakyus and Blue Roses to leave, while Riku arrived in Platinum Armor and sealed the monster horde inside a barrier.
• Evileye recognized Riku as the mysterious Silver Knight from the Thirteen Heroes, then knocked Lakyus unconscious and teleported Blue Roses away.
• Tang Zheng watched the three battlefronts from Floating City as Aura and Mare flew through the barrier toward the frontline.
• The God-kin Captain merged with the Blood-Colored Coffin and transformed into the level 88 Vampire, the One Cain Abel.
• Tang Zheng explained that his Super-Tier Magic, Summon Divine Avatar, had randomly summoned a Boss-type monster, while Aura recognized Abel’s name as familiar.

Tang Zheng watched the summoned The One Cain Abel face Aura and Mare while Ainz and Albedo fought waves of Judgment Throne Angels on the central battlefield. As Ainz prepared to use super-tier magic, Demiurge's Message reached him.

• The Butler, Imlaris, explained that the God-kin Captain would vanish with The One Cain Abel, while Tang Zheng worried that Saphis Xoth's progress was too slow.
• Aura recognized The One Cain Abel as a small-fry event boss once defeated by the Supreme Beings, and Mare chose to fight him while Aura faced the Platinum Armor.
• Demiurge decided the unexpected summon warranted informing Lord Ainz and sent him a Message from Nazarick.
• Ainz and Albedo used spells, teleportation, and combat skills to battle the Judgment Throne Angels, while Ainz gave Albedo a Highest-Tier Healing Potion.
• Zesshi Zetsumei watched Ainz and Albedo withstand the angel assault as Ainz judged that the enemy had drained much of his mana and prepared to use super-tier magic.
• Ainz received a Message just as he believed the other battlefields were proceeding according to plan.

Ainz learned that The One Cain Abel had appeared on Aura and Mare’s battlefield and concluded that a Player might be using Super-Tier Magic. As he and Albedo fought the Judgment Throne Angels, Ainz prepared to cast Super-Tier Magic while trying to lure the hidden enemy into revealing themself.

• Demiurge told Ainz that Aura had identified a monster on the Southwestern Battlefield as The One Cain Abel, prompting Ainz to order Aura and Mare to probe it.
• Ainz and Albedo withdrew toward the teleportation barrier while Zesshi Zetsumei watched and considered whether to attack.
• Demiurge reported that Mare had engaged The One Cain Abel and that Cocytus had been defeated by the Platinum Dragon Lord, leading Ainz to suspect a hidden Player and order the original plan continued.
• Zanac and Gazef watched the battle in shock as Zanac wondered whether the Kingdom should pledge itself to the Slane Theocracy.
• Albedo used Wall of Jericho to trap the Judgment Throne Angels and Hate Transfer to draw their combined attacks onto herself while Ainz began preparing Super-Tier Magic.
• Albedo emerged unharmed as her armor absorbed the angels’ assault, while Ainz waited for the cautious enemy to make a move.

Ainz used super-tier magic to destroy most of the Judgment Throne Angels before withdrawing and leaving Albedo to face the remaining enemies. Mare then arrived on the northwestern battlefield and unleashed Petit-Catastrophe on the Platinum Dragon Lord, blasting him into the ground and sending Tang Zheng’s Shadow Clone flying.

• Ainz activated Falling Sky, wiped out hundreds of Judgment Throne Angels, and used Great Jaw Tornado against the survivors.
• Ainz used a Transposition Doll to switch places with Pandora, then left Albedo to fight the remaining Angels and the white-armored figure.
• Mare broke free from The One Cain Abel’s attack, gathered intelligence with Aura, and left the southwestern battlefield to support Cocytus’s northwestern battlefield.
• The Platinum Dragon Lord decided to retreat despite Tang Zheng’s Shadow Clone urging him to press their advantage.
• Mare arrived at the northwestern battlefield and used Petit-Catastrophe, blasting the Platinum Dragon Lord into the ground and sending Tang Zheng’s Shadow Clone flying.

Mare nearly defeated the Platinum Dragon Lord with Petit-Catastrophe, but the dragon survived, counterattacked, and tried to escape before Sebas arrived. Sebas overwhelmed him in combat, prompting the Platinum Dragon Lord to summon a World Item as the battle continued.

• Mare struck the Platinum Dragon Lord with Petit-Catastrophe, but the wounded dragon survived and used Soul River: Backflow to injure Mare in return.
• The Platinum Dragon Lord restored some of his strength and fought Mare, who survived his attacks with Phoenix Flame.
• The Platinum Dragon Lord offered to surrender the Council State, then tried to escape while Mare stalled him on Ainz and Demiurge's orders.
• Sebas arrived, interrupted the Platinum Dragon Lord's escape, transformed into a Dragonkin, and battered him with armor-piercing attacks.
• The Platinum Dragon Lord summoned a Black Jade Imperial Seal and invoked Heavenly Mandate, while Tang Zheng recognized the World Item from Floating City.

Tang Zheng and Ainz recognized the Platinum Dragon Lord’s jade seal as a World Item while Nazarick’s forces fought him on the northwestern battlefield. The Platinum Dragon Lord used it to gain an advantage against Sebas, then reset his Wild Magic cooldown and unleashed Platinum Explosion again, destroying Tang Zheng’s Shadow Clone.

• Tang Zheng realized the Platinum Dragon Lord possessed a World Item and ordered Imlaris to ready the god-avatar monster assimilated by the Elf King.
• At the Great Tomb of Nazarick, Demiurge identified the Platinum Dragon Lord’s apparent damage-reflecting trump card, and Ainz spotted his jade-seal World Item on the Crystal Screen.
• The Platinum Dragon Lord activated [Heshi's Jade] and selected Dragonkin, gaining resistance to their attacks and increased damage against them.
• Sebas continued fighting the Platinum Dragon Lord as Mare supported him with spells and scrolls, while the exhausted dragon struggled to escape.
• Tang Zheng’s Shadow Clone shielded the Platinum Dragon Lord, who used Soul River: Surging Flow to cast Platinum Explosion a second time.
• Platinum Explosion engulfed the battlefield and severed the connection between Tang Zheng’s Shadow Clone and his original body.

The Platinum Dragon Lord defeated Sebas with Platinum Explosion and retreated from the battle, while Tang Zheng prepared for a possible second contingency and went to confirm the Dragon Lord’s intentions. The Platinum Dragon Lord appeared above the Slane Theocracy considering taking its remaining strength, but Tang Zheng intercepted him, and they began a wary conversation.

• The Platinum Dragon Lord’s Platinum Explosion burned Sebas and Mare, and his Platinum Breath finished Sebas as the Dragon Lord fled the battlefield.
• The Platinum Dragon Lord and the Platinum Armor used World Teleportation to escape, releasing Aura’s magical beast army from the barrier.
• Tang Zheng ordered Imlaris, the Butler, to deploy the boss monster fused with the Elf King, then teleported away to confirm the Platinum Dragon Lord’s movements.
• The Platinum Dragon Lord arrived above the Slane Theocracy and considered taking its strength before it could benefit the Sorcerer Kingdom.
• Tang Zheng appeared before the wounded Platinum Dragon Lord, who acted relieved to see Yan alive and apologized for the explosion.

Tang Zheng avoided attacking the Platinum Dragon Lord, who withdrew after urging him to unite against the Sorcerer Kingdom. As Tang Zheng assessed the war’s losses and moved toward the Central Battlefield, Aura, Pandora, and Albedo continued fighting the Theocracy’s forces and Zesshi Zetsumei.

• Tang Zheng praised the Platinum Dragon Lord’s power but refused to join his plan, declaring that the Slane Theocracy would never surrender to the Sorcerer Kingdom; the dragon then teleported away.
• Tang Zheng learned that the Northwestern Battlefield had collapsed, the Obsidian Dragon Lord had been captured, Azuth Aindra had escaped, and Aura had left the Southwestern Battlefield for the Central Battlefield.
• Tang Zheng ordered Saphis Xoth to deploy every summoned monster and used Perfect Unknowable to head toward the Central Battlefield.
• Aura and her monsters attacked the Sunlight Scripture’s Judgment Throne Angels, while Pandora tested attacks against the Elf King’s merged form, Cracking Gommum, and found that lightning worked best.
• Albedo struck Zesshi Zetsumei with a kick after her axe attack missed, sending her tumbling across the ground.

Zesshi Zetsumei struggled against Albedo until Tang Zheng told her to use her Soul of the Heroic Spirit trump card, which made Albedo recognize it as Shalltear’s ability. In Nazarick, Ainz dismissed the Guardians’ shame over their failed attempt to capture the Platinum Dragon Lord and concluded that the Slane Theocracy likely had Players.

• Zesshi Zetsumei used holy attacks, equipment skills, and evasive tactics against Albedo, but Albedo’s defenses and Movement Obstruction Nullification kept her from gaining an advantage.
• A Message from Tang Zheng instructed Zesshi Zetsumei to use Number 9, and she summoned the Soul of the Heroic Spirit to block Albedo’s great axe before retreating.
• Albedo recognized Zesshi Zetsumei’s trump card as Shalltear’s ability.
• At Nazarick, Demiurge considered punishment for Mare, Sebas, and Cocytus after the Platinum Dragon Lord escaped, but Ainz told them the war was not over and ended the discussion.
• Ainz privately judged that the battle had revealed useful information and suspected the Slane Theocracy had Players.

Ainz reconsidered the battle after Demiurge deduced that the enemy could predict the future and that the True Dragon Lords were divided into factions. Meanwhile, Entoma, Yuri, and Lupusregina pursued their targets in the Royal Capital, where Brain fell to Entoma and Princess Renner remained missing.

• Ainz asked Demiurge to assess the enemy, and Demiurge concluded that it had anticipated Nazarick's arrival and could predict the future imperfectly.
• Demiurge inferred that the refugees were being moved to the Abelion Hills and that the True Dragon Lords belonged to separate factions.
• Ainz and Demiurge spotted Red Drop's leader fleeing the Northwestern Battlefield and saw that the Royal Capital had become a target.
• Brain fought Entoma at high speed but collapsed from his injuries, and Entoma killed him with Steel Shot Bugs and ate his arm.
• Yuri and Lupusregina joined Entoma after Lupusregina captured the Wyrm Dragon Lord, while Entoma reported that Princess Renner had disappeared from the palace.

Entoma tracked Princess Renner to the Commoner District, where Lainas ambushed the three maids in the Enhanced Armor but failed to seriously injure them. Renner remained hidden in an orphanage under Black Scripture protection and hinted that she could be useful for more than bait.

• Entoma used a Hunting Centipede to locate Princess Renner in the Commoner District, and Yuri, Lupusregina, and Entoma headed there.
• Lainas, concealed by Perfect Unknowable while controlling the Enhanced Armor, attacked the three maids with Mass All-Race Binding and a heavy machine gun.
• Yuri protected Lupusregina while Entoma summoned a Hard-Shelled Beetle, and the three maids survived the barrage with limited injuries.
• After receiving a message to retreat, the maids withdrew, while Lainas vanished again to continue guarding Renner.
• Renner soothed children at an orphanage before joining the Black Scripture members guarding her there.
• Renner remarked that her value was not limited to being bait.

Ainz explained Enhanced Armor to Nazarick’s Guardians as Yuri, Entoma, and Lupusregina withdrew, then watched Zesshi Zetsumei unleash Petit-Catastrophe on Albedo and Aura’s forces. Tang Zheng revealed how he had arranged the attack and turned his attention to Princess Renner’s plan as the battle continued.

• Ainz ordered Yuri, Entoma, and Lupusregina to withdraw, then explained that Enhanced Armor could be powerful but posed no threat to Nazarick’s Guardians.
• Nigredo reported intercepted Messages instructing the white-armored warrior to use No. 9 and then No. 3 as Zesshi Zetsumei fought Albedo with Soul of the Heroic Spirit.
• Zesshi Zetsumei lured Albedo toward Aura’s forces, switched to a cheap Magic Staff, and unleashed her Innate Talent, Petit-Catastrophe.
• Petit-Catastrophe destroyed the nearby Judgment Throne Angels and Aura’s monsters, but Albedo emerged unharmed after using Damage Transfer.
• Tang Zheng explained that he had enabled Zesshi Zetsumei to use Mare’s trump card without exposing Shadow of the World Tree, then said he would test whether Princess Renner’s plan could work.
