As the Primal Gods’ invasion isolated the Underworld and spread across the pantheons, Shaka declared that Ragnarok would continue with a Ninth Round despite the gods’ discovery that the Eighth Round had already taken place.

As Ragnarok’s final battle stalled and brutal God Wars raged elsewhere, the gods waited for humanity to choose an opponent for Shaka in the ninth round.

• Goll asked Brunhilde what Shaka’s transformation was, and Brunhilde muttered that it was One Lotus Rebirth.
• Brunhilde recalled that she had sought Shaka’s guidance before Ragnarok and received the ability called One Lotus Rebirth.

Shaka used One Lotus Rebirth to combine the power of five Main Gods, gaining terrifying strength at the cost of his approaching death. As he attacked traitors and reached through projections to strike the Primal Gods, Brunhilde reassured Humanity's side that they could still win and wondered whether the next fighter would be the First Emperor.

• Brunhilde realized that Shaka had used One Lotus Rebirth on four Main Gods, whose deaths were the price of his transformation and his plan to attack the Primal Gods after winning.

• A fleet of alien warships surrounded Earth and fired mountain-shattering beams at the planet.
• A golden Eastern dragon coiled around Earth, emerged from a reflection near the North Pole, and transformed into a vast steel Great Wall.
• The Great Wall annihilated nearly all the warships with a barrage of destructive beams.
• The Great Wall wiped out most of the Mechanical Lifeforms and insect-like creatures with a second barrage.
• The Great Wall dropped enormous sections toward Earth, and the falling pieces narrowed as they aligned with the opening Heavenly Gates.

Brunhilde recounted the many deaths she experienced in the First Emperor and Buddha’s battle, as repeated future battles and resets flooded everyone’s memories. The ninth round restarted with both fighters still facing one another, leaving Brunhilde unsure whether the memories were real.

• Brunhilde experienced space crushing her body and later splitting it in half.
• The battle’s repeated restarts filled everyone’s minds with memories, and Brunhilde questioned whether those memories were real.

Shaka’s uncontrolled Future Sight repeatedly sent his consciousness into the past, trapping him and the First Emperor in an accumulating battle of memories that left much of the arena and armies mentally broken. In what appeared to be the final cycle, Serafall and Rossweisse noticed a crack in Shaka’s mask, giving the watching humans and gods hope that the endless cycle might finally break.

• Brunhilde realized that another cycle had begun and that the previous rewinds had destroyed the Human World without revealing a victor.
• Shaka’s Future Sight sent his consciousness back whenever he neared his limit, while the First Emperor calculated his moves and tried to interrupt the jumps.
• Shaka used souls from the Primal God’s side as shields against the First Emperor’s attempts to stop his jumps, causing some bodies to be left soulless.
• The accumulated memories left Serafall, Irina, Ve, and most of the arena audience numb, while the armies fell nearly silent.
• Rossweisse spotted a crack in Shaka’s jackal mask, and Serafall realized it was already present before the battle began in this cycle.
• Humans and gods who noticed the crack grew hopeful that the endless cycle was finally about to break.

Shaka discovered that the First Emperor’s Mechanical Body was under strain, but his own mask had cracked and his regressions were nearly exhausted. In the final regression, Shaka used One Lotus Rebirth and turned his thousand hands toward himself, leaving everyone stunned.

As the gods prepared to fight the Primal Gods, Shaka withdrew to preserve his last strength, while Irina emerged into a ruined Mythological Heaven.

• Shaka turned his body into the Six Paths Staff and used it to sever the First Emperor’s connection to his surrounding machines.

• Irina and Ve learned from Goll that the fighting for key Divine Realm Spaces remained brutal and that Brunhilde was depressed and searching for the missing person who had promised to revive Siegfried.
• Rossweisse and Serafall returned wounded from the front lines, and Goll treated them while scolding them for taking such risks.
• Ve noticed a light screen briefly glitch when she collided with it, then dismissed the strange effect as a possible illusion.
• Ve and Irina fled as Seraphim destroyed the World Tree, causing their Heavenly Space to collapse into a black-hole-like void.

• The group reached the Central Heavenly Realm and headed toward their residence near Akasha's Chamber as the gods left to reinforce the front lines.

Lufy touched a strange silver sphere in Shefara’s formation and woke in an arena where everyone appeared asleep, leading her to suspect the First Emperor had trapped the world in a virtual Matrix.

• Irina heard what she thought was Lufy’s voice, and the others fell silent.

Irina, Rossweisse, Serafall, and Rufi explored the apparently abandoned battlefield and discovered signs that Evis Etourute’s invasion of their world was going poorly. After Rufi suspected they were trapped in another layer of a virtual world, the group began a teleportation attempt to test whether they could escape.

• Irina, Rossweisse, Serafall, and Rufi woke in a battlefield and realized they were inside a false world where the fighters remained unconscious.
• The group infiltrated the enemy command center and heard a recording report that Evis Etourute’s invasion was struggling, while King Solomon had become the new God of the Bible.

• Rufi said she believed they might still be inside a virtual world, possibly its second layer.
• Serafall had Shefara begin another teleportation spell while the five held hands, hoping to escape the world.

Serafall and the others escaped the First Emperor’s false world and met the figure on the throne, while Shaka revealed that Bai Yue had lived through nearly five thousand years of history as Humanity’s representatives. The First Emperor confirmed Shaka’s deductions about the surviving gods and showed a projection of a devastated world called FadielFertor.

Bai Yue’s virtual-world scheme ended with First Emperor defeating Shaka, and Shaka appointed Bai Yue Chairman of the Gods’ Council with the approval of the leading gods. A day after Ragnarok, a girl delivered pantheon records for Bai Yue’s preparations against the Primal Gods, leaving the new Chairman to organize the gods’ forces for the coming battle.

Later, as Bai Yue coordinated the pantheons’ intelligence and deliveries, tensions flared between Lantigreese and Gondul, and Goll reported that Serafall and the others wanted to see him.

• Goll found Alvitr and Hlokk eavesdropping outside Bai Yue’s office, and they tumbled inside when she startled them.

• Goll entered with the cleaned clothes and told Bai Yue that Serafall and the others wanted to see him.

Bai Yue returned to Heaven with Gabriel, Aisha, and Xenovia, where he began working to restore the Bible God's Akasha System. The system proved difficult and costly to operate, and Gabriel watched anxiously as he strained to activate it.

• Bai Yue watched Xenovia lose a quick duel to Griselda, then saw her cut her hand while cleaning her Holy Sword as Aisha treated it.

• Bai Yue found that Eden’s Fruit of Life and Fruit of Wisdom had begun to grow again, then decided to leave after dinner.
• Xenovia and Griselda resumed their duel on a floating island while Aisha watched, and Aisha called for help.

Bai Yue went to the kitchen to help Gabriel and kissed her after being caught off guard by her appearance. Meanwhile, Xenovia and Aisha secretly watched them, mistook the kiss for a Holy Sword purification, and were caught by Bai Yue.

• Bai Yue found Gabriel preparing a feast in the kitchen and agreed to turn fruit into juice.

• Kuroka tried to tease Xenovia, but Bai Yue pulled her away by the tail before she could expose Xenovia’s secret.
