• Si Xiaonan swallowed the pills and then collapsed in agony as black blood flowed from her seven orifices.

• Loki revealed that he had known about Si Xiaonan’s hidden pills and accused her of betraying him, while explaining that he had kept her as his agent to see how she would try to kill him.
• Loki noticed Si Xiaonan watching him as he raised the pills to his lips, then rewound the trick that had made her suffer and restored her to her earlier state.
• Loki cut the pills from Si Xiaonan’s back again and forced her to swallow them so he could test whether they were genuine.
• When Si Xiaonan attacked him with a short sword, Loki restrained her with black snakes and waited for the pills to take effect.
• After about forty seconds, Si Xiaonan’s pupils contracted and her aura began rising rapidly.

Si Xiaonan revealed that she had tricked Loki into swallowing the Poison God Pills, using a timed isolation layer and a staged rise in her realm to fool his power of “ruse.” Loki’s power began to fade as the poison took effect, while Si Xiaonan explained how she had planned the deception.

• Si Xiaonan’s realm surged after she swallowed two pills, but Loki used his “ruse” to restore her to her former position and remove them from her body.

• Si Xiaonan produced a silver needle, Ghost God’s Pull, and explained that it had helped her deceive Loki.

• A signal flare appeared in the northern sky, and Cao Yuan and the others realized it was not from An Qingyu’s location and might have come from Leng Xuan.

Leng Xuan discovered Loki’s hidden mass burial ground at Lost Stone City and used a powerful sniper rifle to interrupt Loki’s resurrection. Loki began advancing on Leng Xuan, who had only seven bullets and could not kill him outright.

• Leng Xuan fired from dozens of kilometers away, blasting apart Loki’s newly restored body before he could complete his resurrection.
• Loki recognized Leng Xuan and questioned whether he was part of Si Xiaonan’s plan, but Leng Xuan fired again and shattered Loki’s body and the scheme threads he was weaving.
• Leng Xuan held his fire as Loki recovered, conserving his seven bullets, while Loki charged toward him with half a body restored.

Leng Xuan used his remaining bullets and prepared tools to keep Loki from reaching him, but the final shot left him gravely injured and unable to continue fighting. Loki reconstructed his body and confronted the helpless Leng Xuan, leaving his fate uncertain.

• Leng Xuan waited until Loki was close before firing, then fled through the ruins while Loki began repairing himself.
• Leng Xuan released God of Forging grenades that filled the ruins with blue-gray smoke and disrupted Loki's senses.
• Leng Xuan fired again from the smoke, then used his fifth bullet to destroy Loki's head, but the recoil shattered his left shoulder.
• Leng Xuan used a Spirit Awakening Pill to grab the sniper rifle before Loki and fired the sixth bullet into Loki's head.
• The recoil crushed Leng Xuan's bones and left him unable to fight as Loki reconstructed his body and asked where he could run.

Leng Xuan completed his mission by holding Loki back until the Four Great Envoys arrived, and the Shang Xie Association began treating him. An Qingyu and Si Xiaonan joined the battle against Loki, with Si Xiaonan claiming she could face him.

• Leng Xuan questioned why Si Xiaonan could not take the pill herself, but she ordered him to open his mouth and warned that she was half the God of Trickery.

Leng Xuan carried the dying Si Xiaonan back to Cangnan while she struggled to hold on through her transformation into a god. After secretly feeding her an Eternal Pill, he watched her recover and become the second human god, then died asking her to go home for him.

In Asgard’s Red Brick Maze, Yurina Takishiro and two Human Apexes overwhelmed Heimdall, then sent him to the Queen Mother of the West for the killing blow. The maze continued dividing the battlefield so the Human Apexes could isolate and defeat the Norse Gods.

• Heimdall discovered that the Law of Trickery had disappeared and found that he could not break the maze’s indestructible walls.
• Yurina Takishiro confronted Heimdall and used Divine Calamity to cut through his attacks and weaken his Power of Law.
• Yurina opened two paths, allowing Master Chen and another Human Apex to join the fight and help bring Heimdall down.
• Yurina teleported the wounded Heimdall to the Queen Mother of the West, who killed him with a streak of azure light.
• The maze’s shifting paths continued to isolate Norse Gods for the Human Apexes to attack, while Monkey King, Yang Jian, and Zhou Ping fought through their own paths alone.

Lin Qiye headed to the Abyssal Dungeon to rescue Jinian while Queen Mother of the West and the Great Xia powerhouses held the Norse Gods in Guan Zai's maze. Before Lin Qiye arrived, the Shang Xie Association launched an assault on the dungeon, with An Qingyu, Cao Yuan, and Baili Pangpang joining the fight.
