Chapter Summaries

Thor’s group took Gilgamesh’s Supreme divine artifact and captured No. 22, while deciding to kill No. 03 and No. 04 after learning Claude was dead. On the Somersault Cloud, Monkey King reflected on Great Xia and urged Lin Qiye to draw his ability; at the hospital, Gilgamesh also asked Lin Qiye to draw his, leaving two ability roulettes before him.

• Thor refused to attack Gilgamesh, and Hodur identified the King's Scepter as a Supreme divine artifact that required a bloodline key to use.
• No. 22 offered to help activate the scepter, so Thor ordered that he be taken to Asgard; No. 22 claimed Claude had died after No. 03's mark flared in the King's Treasury.

• Lin Qiye summoned two ability roulette wheels in the courtyard.

Lin Qiye drew End King's Law and three Life-Saving Hairs, then received Gilgamesh's Holy Grail and Star Coin. He learned that the Star Coin's lingering misfortune could affect him through the hospital in his mind, and Gilgamesh was struck by a kitchen mishap after Lin Qiye left.

• After Lin Qiye left, a kitchen explosion sent a steaming wok onto Gilgamesh's head as he walked toward his ward.

Lin Qiye and Monkey King crossed the sea after their fight, and Monkey King promised to protect Lin Qiye from any threat. They met Jinian, who scolded Lin Qiye for confronting the gods alone, then joined them as they continued toward the King's Treasury.

Lin Qiye learned from Zuo Qing that Asgard had split into rival camps over whether Thor or Loki should inherit the vacant God-King’s throne. Loki planned to break through to the Supreme Realm, a move that could decide the succession and threaten Great Xia.

• Zuo Qing warned Lin Qiye that Loki intended to break through to the Supreme Realm, which could give him a decisive advantage over Thor.

Lin Qiye learned that Loki was close to ascending to the Supreme Realm and that Great Xia needed an infiltration team to weaken Asgard before launching a surprise attack. With the Holy Grail and a lead on Skuld, Lin Qiye prepared to go to Asgard, carrying the burden of the mission.

• Zuo Qing explained that Great Xia could not attack Asgard directly and needed Lin Qiye, Jinian, or the Shang Xie Association to infiltrate it and create an opening.
• Lin Qiye revealed the Holy Grail and its three Lord God-level sacrifices, but decided it could support their plan rather than kill Loki outright.
• Zuo Qing told Lin Qiye that King Mask had identified Skuld, a Norn goddess who governed the flow of time, as the god who could accelerate Jialan's awakening.

• After the walkie-talkie ran out of power, Lin Qiye admitted he felt overwhelmed, while Jinian encouraged him and promised to help cause destruction.

Lin Qiye learned that his friends were thriving in Utopia before he and Jinian encountered four Asgardian gods. When No. 22 recognized Lin Qiye as Miles, he concealed his true identity and praised his supposed mastery of Prophecy Arts.

• Jinian told Lin Qiye that An Qingyu and Jiang Er had transformed Utopia’s research and technology work, while Fatty and Cao Yuan had become popular in its nightlife scene.

• Four gods approached Lin Qiye and Jinian, prompting Lin Qiye to transform himself into Miles and Jinian to cover her face with a mask.
• Lin Qiye recognized Thor, Hodur, Tyr, and Vidar as the Asgardian gods who had fled from Gilgamesh, and he noticed No. 22 among them.
• No. 22 identified Lin Qiye as Miles, Merlin’s agent, and told the gods that Miles had outmaneuvered agents and gods through Prophecy Arts.

Lin Qiye agreed to return to Asgard with Thor so he could enter openly, but Hodur recognized Jinian as the thief who stole the Gjallarhorn. After Jinian was captured, the gods grew suspicious of Lin Qiye and decided to imprison him until they questioned her.

• Tyr seized Lin Qiye and explained that Asgard needed his prophecy abilities, while Thor persuaded Tyr to release him.
• Lin Qiye agreed to accompany Thor to Asgard, hoping to conserve the Holy Grail’s offerings and gain entry without sneaking in.
• Hodur recognized Jinian as the intruder who had stolen the Gjallarhorn, and Jinian tried to escape in a pixel aircraft before the gods captured her.
• Jinian warned Thor that killing her would mean losing the Gjallarhorn, so Thor ordered her taken to Asgard for interrogation.
• Lin Qiye claimed Jinian was a guest seeking a prophecy, but Tyr suspected him, and Thor ordered him imprisoned until they confirmed whether the two were connected.

Lin Qiye entered Asgard with Thor and the other gods after Jinian secretly passed him something. In Asgard, Loki announced plans to ascend to Supreme in eight days, while Thor closed the Rainbow Bridge and left Lin Qiye cut off from the outside world.

• Jinian passed a hidden object to Lin Qiye as she followed Hodur toward Asgard, and Lin Qiye concealed it.

• Thor pulled the Sacred Rainbow Sword from the Rainbow Bridge, causing the bridge to close and cutting off Lin Qiye's route out of Asgard.

Lin Qiye was taken to a prison in Asgard after Sif disappeared and Thor rushed to investigate. There, he agreed to temporarily cooperate with No. 22, who knew his identity and demanded help escaping.

• Freyr told Thor that Sif had disappeared, and Thor flew off to search for her.
• Tyr ordered Hodur to take Jinian to the Abyssal Dungeon and Vidar to lock Lin Qiye and No. 22 in the cage.

• No. 22 threatened to expose Lin Qiye unless Lin Qiye helped him escape, claiming Lin Qiye could deceive the Norse Gods as the prophet Miles.
• Lin Qiye agreed to cooperate temporarily with No. 22 because he could not conceal his plans from him.

Lin Qiye questioned No. 22 about the stolen divine artifacts and decided the best escape plan was to make Thor release them. Meanwhile, Thor suspected Loki had abducted Sif and confronted him, only to find Si Xiaonan in Loki’s temple.

• Lin Qiye learned that No. 22’s Silver Lock, scepter, and sword had been taken by the gods, and decided to hide his possession of the Holy Grail.

• Thor found Si Xiaonan in the temple, accused her of helping Loki, and nearly strangled her before throwing her aside.
• Loki emerged from the darkness and taunted Thor for pretending he would kill Si Xiaonan.

• Lin Qiye told Thor he could sense Sif’s direction and requested a quiet room, a map of Asgard, three items belonging to her, and no divine power nearby.
• Thor’s attendants prepared an abandoned divine hall, and Lin Qiye entered it, confirmed it was clear, and shut the doors to make preparations in private.

Lin Qiye concealed Jinian’s Pixel Walkie-Talkie inside Mumu, studied maps of Norse Mythology, and strengthened his disguise as Miles. His clue pointed toward the underworld, so Thor brought him and several others along to investigate Hela’s possible alliance with Loki.

Loki met with Hela in the Underworld, where she showed him twelve City-Annihilating Mountain Corpses, while he kept his true plan secret.

• Hodur emerged with Lin Qiye beneath a boulder as the gods fought in the distance, then told Lin Qiye to begin his prophecy.

• Hodur forced Lin Qiye to make another prophecy to locate Sif, and Lin Qiye pretended to perform one before pointing toward a nearby mountain.
• Hodur flew to the mountain and struck it with his giant axe, awakening a colossal beast hidden within it.
• The beast attacked Hodur, who concluded that Sif was likely nearby and prepared to fight back.
• Twelve pairs of ghostly eyes appeared as the surrounding mountains rose and revealed more gigantic Bone Beast Heads around Hodur.

Thor and No. 22 turned the battle against Loki and Hela, while twelve City Annihilation Corpse Mountains overwhelmed Hodur. As No. 22 fled a pursuing Underworld Bone Dragon toward Lin Qiye, Lin Qiye summoned Mumu and asked him to locate Sif.

• Lin Qiye summoned Mumu, flew away from the bone dragon, and asked Mumu to make a wish to locate Sif.

• Lin Qiye entered the dungeon, freed the chained Sif, and introduced himself as Miles, Thor’s prophet, while No. 22 watched in shock.

• A hooded figure emerged from Tyr’s shadow, stabbed Loki through the heart, and beheaded him; the figure’s cloak revealed the number 27.

Number 27 assassinated Loki in front of Thor, Hela, and Lin Qiye, but Tyr suspected Loki had escaped through another death-substitution ritual. Loki then reconstituted himself in Asgard’s Human Circle, worried over the assassination and prepared to replenish the lives his ritual had consumed.
