Chapter Summaries

Human survivors debated moving toward the God of War’s territory, while Kainas sought Alaram’s help to build influence among Created Species. In Abanteheim, the God of War used a spell array that burned spirits’ time and discovered that a time-connected Divine Species had attacked him by traveling into the past.

• In Abanteheim, the God of War activated a spell array that consumed spirits’ time rather than their lives.
• The God of War’s chest wound reappeared with memories showing that a time-connected Divine Species had traveled back to the previous great war to ambush him.

The War God forged a Divine Soldier that burned time itself and used it to kill the Divine Species who had been attacking him through time. The other Divine Species acknowledged him as the strongest and feared his growing power, while he remained secluded to create a species.

• The War God completed a golden Flame Spear that could burn time, then followed his enemy's traces through time and killed him with it.
• Kainas and the other Divine Species watched the slain attacker fall from Abanteheim, and Kainas abandoned her plans to form an alliance against the War God.

• As wars between Divine Species and Created Species continued for years, the Divine Species speculated that the War God was waiting for them to weaken before striking.
• The Divine Species wondered what concept made the War God so confident, while he stayed secluded to create a species.

Bai Yue awakened Azriel, the first Heavenly Winged Species, and sent her into a world where Created Species fought for territory and resources. The Heavenly Winged Species rapidly grew powerful enough to wipe out other races and kill a Fantasy Species with Heavenly Strike, leaving the Divine Species wary of what they might become.

• Bai Yue awakened a magical life-form, named her Azriel, and declared her the First Angelic Species Individual.

After Azriel emerged from five years in the Repair Spell chamber, she resumed directing the Heavenly Winged Species and ordered more chambers built, unleashing fresh devastation on the Created Species. Then the sun vanished behind a growing black sphere as spirits across the world were forcibly drawn toward a spatial hole above Abanteheim, with the War God revealed as the cause.

• The Heavenly Winged Species killed a Dragon Essence Species, and the War God instantly slew a Divine Species that attacked them, reaffirming his strength.
• The Divine Species considered appealing to Final Dragon Hati-Ræðr for help against the War God, but knew it was nearly impossible to reach.
• Azriel awoke from the Repair Spell chamber, criticized the Heavenly Winged Species' hunting record, and discovered that her master was absent from the Throne Hall.

• The Divine Species speculated that the War God was draining spirits and might destroy the world using a distant black sphere and a spatial opening.
• The End Dragon briefly looked up, then closed its eyes and went back to sleep, while the Heavenly Winged Species trembled and praised their creator.
• Spirits poured from the Origin Current beneath Abanteheim as the ground cracked and the Divine Species feared the Elf Corridor would explode.
• As the Divine Species prepared to destroy the spatial hole, the world and every star in the universe stopped moving.
• The Star Grail was described as a container of Almighty Power that could alter its universe and reveal branching futures, while resurrection merely copied a person's data rather than restoring their soul.

The Creator struggled to separate his consciousness from the divine core and searched possible futures for a worldline where humanity survived. After choosing to seek guidance from Jibril, the story shifted to Azriel’s return to Sky Paradise and ended with her finding the Throne Hall empty.

• The Creator found that his connection to the divine core prevented him from entering a parallel Earth world, and separating from the core would collapse the universe.

The War God challenged Final Dragon Hati-Ræðr to chess under a new rule that forced each move to be faster than the previous one, and won by exploiting the Dragon Essence Species’ need for time to think. Hati-Ræðr agreed to answer his question, then told him to act as he wished, leaving him to ask which creature was weakest: Goblins or Forest Elves.

• Azriel became furious after hearing that the Divine Species’ creator had lost games to Final Dragon Hati-Ræðr and been mocked by the Dragon Essence Species.
• The War God met Hati-Ræðr atop Scorching High Seat and explained that the Dragon Essence Species existed across the past, present, and future, giving them seemingly limitless power and foresight.

• The War God and Hati-Ræðr played a rapid game in which the pieces blurred across the board, ending with the white king crushed beneath a black piece.
• Hati-Ræðr asked what the War God wished to know, then told him to do as he wished; the War God asked whether Goblins or Forest Elves were weaker.

After a battle against a Divine Species left Raphael near death, she recovered enough to reveal that a strange vortex swallowed the souls of the dead, with the largest vortex hanging above Lord Arteshu in Abanteheim. The chapter then shifted to humanity, whose children grew up in a dark world beneath dangerous blue-glowing ash and had never seen the sun.

• The Heavenly Winged Species returned from battle with heavy casualties and the remains of a Divine Species, while Raphael's core began to collapse from her injuries.
• Azriel admitted she had deliberately struck Raphael with Heavenly Strike and brought her to Lord Arteshu, who treated her before sending her to the restoration spell chamber.

The Ultimate Dragon left on a final journey, hoping the God of War would eventually grant its wish to end its eternal life. As the Divine Species’ war stagnated, Lord Arteshu ordered the Heavenly Winged Species to prepare for a Great Collision of Celestial Bodies, facing a massive steel construct descending from the blood-red sky.

• The Divine Species sensed Artorius’s conceptual power within the ring and realized they could not rival him.

The Divine Species watched Arteshu devastate the approaching celestial body with Divine Strike and debated how his power had grown, why he spared them, and what his concept might be. Later, news spread that Hati-Ræðr and Arteshu would fight to determine who was strongest, bringing the Earthly World’s conflicts to a halt as all awaited the battle.

• When Arteshu offered her a reward, Gibril instead backed away and launched a Heavenly Strike directly at him, shocking her sisters.
• After the attack’s light cleared, Gibril was unharmed and said the strike had not shaken Arteshu at all.
