Chapter Summaries

A fifty-kilometer metal construct descended over Hakone World, revealing a ring of modern city structures wrapped around it. As Black Rabbit and the others watched, a digitized black hole opened nearby, and something began to emerge.

• Black Rabbit and the others fled from the enormous falling fireball, but it stopped before hitting the ground and its shockwave uprooted trees.
• Sakaigami Izayoi emerged from a crater, and the group saw that the fireball concealed a metal construct over fifty kilometers wide.
• Kasukabe Yao and Kuon Asuka used Black Rabbit’s binoculars to discover modern city structures wrapped around the construct.
• Black Rabbit said she had never heard of a community possessing such a structure.
• A digitized black hole appeared, and Black Rabbit sensed that Hakone World itself was trying to erase it as something prepared to emerge.

Black Rabbit and the three newcomers met the astronaut, who revealed he had just founded the self-sufficient Fate Execution Mechanism and invited them to join. After Black Rabbit exposed his costume and mask, she discovered he was a young man and protested when he posed her while she was stunned.

• An astronaut emerged from the spaceship and asked whether he was on Planet of Ultra in the Land of Light, then invited the newcomers to join his community.
• The astronaut named his community the Fate Execution Mechanism and revealed that he was its only member and had founded it moments earlier.
• Sakaigami Izayoi pointed out the spaceship could support a million Black Rabbits, prompting the group to tease Black Rabbit about breeding and cooking her.
• Black Rabbit unleashed lightning as a warning, tearing apart the astronaut's spacesuit and exposing a terrifying tentacle-and-eyeball mask.
• The astronaut removed the mask to reveal a young man, then posed the still-stunned Black Rabbit until she snapped out of it and objected.

Black Rabbit brought the three summoned newcomers to her impoverished Community after warning them that the black wind around a metal construct belonged to Decadent Wind, a terrifying Demon King and Humanity's Final Trial. The mysterious motionless man she carried remained under watch as night fell.

• Black Rabbit warned Kuon Asuka, Kasukabe Yao, and Sakaigami Izayoi to flee from the black wind and identified its source as Decadent Wind, the strongest and most unsolvable Demon King.
• Black Rabbit explained that Demon Kings could force Communities into Gift Games and that the most powerful were Humanity's Final Trial, capable of contending against the Million God Group.
• Black Rabbit carried the motionless man and led the three newcomers into Little Garden 21538, where Young Master Jin greeted them.
• The group saw the devastation Decadent Wind had caused around Black Rabbit's Community and met its more than a hundred child members.
• Kuon Asuka checked the man, who had no heartbeat but retained his body temperature, and Black Rabbit stayed up that night to watch over him.

Bai Yue awakened in Little Garden with Leticia in his arms, revealed a mysterious invitation that should not have existed, and offered to help her fight Ouroboros. Meanwhile, the Upper Layers watched a strange object withstand the Decadent Wind, and the conflict remained unresolved.

• Leticia secretly approached Bai Yue while he slept, but he caught her and she fell asleep in his arms.
• Black Rabbit, Izayoi, and Kuon Asuka discovered Leticia with Bai Yue, and Black Rabbit pulled her free.
• Bai Yue produced a fourth invitation addressed to no one; it vanished after Black Rabbit examined it, and Leticia recognized it as something that should not exist.
• Bai Yue offered to help Leticia deal with Demon Lord Alliance Ouroboros, and his system displayed a progress of 0.01%.
• A kimono-clad little girl in the Upper Layers cursed the onlookers as they investigated a strange object that had endured the Decadent Wind.

Black Rabbit learned that Lady Leticia was being sold outside Hako niwa City, and Qian Zhao offered to buy her by bringing Black Rabbit’s Community under his own. Qian Zhao then won a Gift Game against the giant serpent at Toritunisu Great Waterfall, taking her as his second maid.

• A kimono-clad loli argued with the others about investigating the taboo name Demon Lord Alliance Ouroboros on her own.
• Black Rabbit learned that Lady Leticia’s current Community planned to sell her outside Hako niwa City, and Leticia confirmed it.

• Qian Zhao challenged the giant serpent at Toritunisu Great Waterfall to the Gift Game Flower on the Lake, whose condition was to make a Narcissus Ovule Flower bloom.
• Qian Zhao carved a new channel and lake with black mist, used it to make the flower bloom, and won the game, claiming the serpent as his second maid.

Black Rabbit offered Luos Parsus a card containing a portion of Decadent Wind’s power in exchange for Leticia, while Bai Yue turned Snow White into Maid Number Two. The card’s power impressed White Night, but Luos Parsus’s attention drifted back to Black Rabbit, leaving the trade uncertain.

• Bai Yue transformed Snow White into a human, gave her a maid outfit, and prepared to take her to meet Maid Number One.
• Black Rabbit visited a Thousand Eyes branch and offered to trade for Leticia, while Luos Parsus tried to make her the price of the deal.
• Black Rabbit asked White Night to open the box she had brought, revealing a card that sealed part of Decadent Wind’s power.
• White Night released the card’s power, and Decadent Wind erased part of the room before disappearing.
• White Night explained the card’s destructive potential, but Luos Parsus turned his attention back to Black Rabbit instead of the card.

White Night and Kuon Asuka confronted Luos Parsus over Leticia, while a mysterious man pressured him to trade her using a supposedly terrifying black parchment. Luos agreed to an auction in a week, and the parchment was revealed to be fake as White Night returned and teased the others.

• Kuon Asuka accused Luos Parsus and Perseus of harming their territory and demanded a duel, while White Night considered invoking Host Authority.
• Luos refused to release the petrified Leticia and taunted Black Rabbit about the sacrifices Leticia had made to return to her.

• Luos agreed to auction Leticia one week later, provided White Night protected him until then.
• Black Rabbit learned the black parchment was fake when White Night returned, and the man joked that she should hang his portrait over her bed.
• White Night tried to lift Snow White's skirt, but the man stopped her and claimed only he was allowed to do so.

Bai Yue explained to White Night that he had entered her world because it resembled a work he knew, and she learned that the story was at its beginning. Black Rabbit then discovered that Kuon Asuka and Kasukabe Yao had challenged ForesGaro after uncovering its leader’s crimes, setting a Community showdown for the next day.

• Snow White told White Night that Bai Yue had defeated her Gift Game and become her genuine master.
• Bai Yue and White Night clashed in a contest of pressure, then White Night brought him into the Game Board World to question his purpose.
• Bai Yue showed White Night books and recordings resembling her world and explained that he had come from outside it; she understood his aim but rejected his claim that she was merely a background character.
• White Night learned from Bai Yue that the story was at its very beginning.
• Black Rabbit learned that ForesGaro’s leader, Jald Gasepa, had captured children to blackmail Communities and had them killed.
• Kuon Asuka challenged Jald Gasepa to a Gift Game after learning the truth, and the contract set a showdown between their Communities for the next day.

Black Rabbit and the others prepared for the coming match while Bai Yue and White Night hinted that Asuka, Yao, and Izayoi had fated ties to Black Rabbit’s Community. Black Rabbit recognized Yao’s father Kongming as a former leader, and the group agreed to keep their connection secret as they tried to uncover the truth.

• Jin apologized to Black Rabbit for agreeing to Jald’s match, and Asuka and Yao reassured Black Rabbit that she was not to blame.
• White Night and Bai Yue discussed Black Rabbit’s role and revealed that Asuka, Yao, and Izayoi were connected to the Community by fate, possibly as descendants of its members.
• Yao mentioned her father’s alias, Kongming, and Black Rabbit recognized it as the name of the Community’s former leader.
• Black Rabbit realized that Kongming might be Yao’s father, but Asuka warned her to keep the connection secret to protect the children and the Community.
• Asuka denied having any known family connection to the Community and asked Black Rabbit who Izayoi might resemble.

Bai Yue revealed that Asuka’s ancestor may have been displaced across time and promised Black Rabbit information about the Maiden on the Banner after they won Leticia at auction. After Yao recovered from the battle with ForesGaro, the group suspected Perseus had supplied Jald Gasepa with the Oni Seed, while Bai Yue remained unconscious; White Night learned that the Upper Layers were secretly preparing to relocate to a new Little Garden.

• Bai Yue told Asuka that her ancestor might have been among those swept away years ago and told Black Rabbit he would explain the Maiden on the Banner after they won Leticia at auction.
• Bai Yue contemplated searching and restoring scattered information, knowing that a mistake could turn him into Decadent.
• Yao woke fully healed, and Asuka and Black Rabbit discussed how Jald Gasepa had gained the Oni Seed during the battle against ForesGaro.
• Asuka and Black Rabbit blamed Perseus for giving Jald the Oni Seed, citing the invisible, flying benefactor and Perseus’s mythological Gifts.
• Black Rabbit said Izayoi was missing and Bai Yue had not woken, while White Night learned that the Upper Layers were secretly preparing to move to a new Little Garden.

White Night suspected that powerful divine groups, possibly including Buddhism, were preparing to abandon Human History and force migration to New Little Garden, while Black Rabbit’s community joined Mr. Bai Yue’s Fate Execution Mechanism community. After Lady Snow White accidentally blasted Bai Yue through a wall, he awoke in a strange state and declared himself the First Emperor.

• White Night concluded that the attack on Canary’s community might have been meant to advance migration to New Little Garden, and she resolved to prepare for the danger while concealing her suspicions.
• Black Rabbit hesitated over signing a contract to join Mr. Bai Yue’s Fate Execution Mechanism community, but Izayoi returned with items needed to redeem Lady Leticia and signed Black Rabbit’s name for her.
• Black Rabbit discovered that the new community’s emblem showed a dragon biting its tail around a metal object wrapped in Decadent Wind.
• Lady Snow White’s sudden burst of power blasted a hole through the room and shattered the bed where Bai Yue had been lying.
• Bai Yue appeared in the hole with vacant eyes, and when Izayoi asked who he was, he answered that he was the First Emperor and changed into imperial robes.

Bai Yue transformed through several divine forms, and the vision of a world-ending war nearly overwhelmed him before Snow White helped bring him back. Later, while the women discussed the Decadent Wind and the sealed construct in the bath, Asuka discovered Bai Yue hiding nearby.

• Bai Yue changed into Solomon, Apocalypse, and Arteshu, whose golden-eyed form showed the group a vision of angels and demons destroying the world.
• Black Rabbit and Kuon Asuka collapsed from the vision, and Bai Yue returned to normal after thanking Snow White for snapping him out of his near-decadence.
• Bai Yue's system progress rose from 0.01% killed to 0.1%, and he resolved to set up safeguards to keep himself from losing control.
• Black Rabbit explained that Hakone World's angels could be mindless weapons of destruction, while Snow White said she did not know why she had attacked Bai Yue.
• Snow White said she had never entered the giant construct because the Decadent Wind sealed it off, and Asuka threw a wooden basin into the mist, hitting Bai Yue as he reclined in the bath.

Bai Yue teased Asuka, Black Rabbit, and Yao while they bathed in water drawn from a hot spring, then left after Asuka challenged his claim that his weapon was a sacred sword. Meanwhile, Luos prepared to sell the vampire before the agreed auction, trusting a deal that would help him unseal and control a trump card.

• Black Rabbit and Asuka discovered Bai Yue had been soaking in the bath before them and learned that he had connected it to a hot spring.
• Asuka argued with Bai Yue over who should leave the bath first, while his teasing embarrassed her and upset Yao.
• Asuka insulted Bai Yue's sacred sword, but he stood up and demonstrated a shocking change before leaving the bath.
• At the Perseus Community's base, Luos dismissed concerns about breaking his agreement with Black Rabbit and decided to sell the vampire early.
• Luos expected the buyer to help unseal and control his trump card, and he suspected Bai Yue's display of Decadent Wind's power had been a bluff.

The chapter recounted Maiden on the Banner’s life and began restoring her after her Spirit had worn away. As the group prepared to challenge the Perseus community before the auction, Black Rabbit explained that its hidden power was the former Demon Lord Algol.

• Maiden on the Banner was born in a seemingly perfect country, discovered its people were kept like livestock, and helped lead the resistance that reduced the Closed World’s chance of appearing to zero.
• After her community’s later collapse, Maiden on the Banner was exiled and failed to take revenge on the gods, accelerating the wear on her Spirit until she died.
• The group decided to challenge Luos Parsus’s Perseus community directly rather than wait for the auction, using Izayoi’s eligibility to force the showdown and reclaim Leticia.
• Black Rabbit explained that Algol, the Demon Star associated with the Gorgon, was a former Demon Lord controlled by the Perseus community.
• Izayoi dismissed the idea that Algol still held her ancient power, but hoped the coming challenge would let him face the genuine Demon Star.

Bai Yue revealed that Perseus planned to break its agreement, and No Name entered a Gift Game to challenge Luos. As the game began, Bai Yue commentated from outside while Black Rabbit watched, and he hinted that his reports came from searching the Decadent Wind database.

• Bai Yue warned Black Rabbit and the others that Perseus intended to make a deal that afternoon, then the chapter showed the Gift Game contract between No Name and Perseus.
• Luos accepted the challenge, mocked the group, and activated the contract after Izayoi teased him about whether another person would participate.
• Black Rabbit sent Izayoi, Yao, Asuka, and Jin into the palace, with Izayoi and Jin targeting Luos, Yao detecting people, and Asuka acting as bait.
• Bai Yue ate watermelon and began commentating on the game, reporting that Yao countered a knight and that Izayoi obtained Hades's Helmet of Invisibility.
• Luos appeared in the air and dismissed Bai Yue's commentary, while Bai Yue asked Black Rabbit to serve as his soft seat before the chapter explained that his reports were delayed searches of the Decadent Wind database.

Luos released more of Demon King Algol’s seal, and she awakened with the power to turn people and clouds to stone. As Algol attacked the arena, Bai Yue protected Snow White from petrification while Izayoi faced Luos.

• Bai Yue reported that Yao detected the invisible opponents through their movements, allowing Izayoi to strike a knight and make Hades' Helmet fall again.
• Izayoi and Jin reached the arena, where Luos welcomed them as the Game Leader and removed the ornament sealing Algol.
• White Night worried that Luos had released too much of Algol’s seal and that the New Hakoniwa Migration Plan might benefit if Algol went berserk.
• Algol awakened, shrieked, and petrified people and clouds throughout the palace; Bai Yue peeled away the protective layer that had petrified Snow White.
• Luos ordered Algol to crush Izayoi, but Izayoi hurled a stone that struck her and briefly forced her back.

Izayoi defeated Luos, but Luos’s actions released more of Algol’s seal and unleashed a catastrophic transformation. White Night discovered that someone had sabotaged Thousand Eyes’ branch network, while Algol’s power spread across the region and left Black Rabbit in danger.

• Izayoi destroyed the demonized arena, knocked Luos unconscious, and saw that something Luos had held had merged into Algol’s necklace.
• Algol’s seal broke further, and a brown pillar of light rose from her toward the star associated with her name.
• White Night tried to reach the battle through a Thousand Eyes branch store, but found that someone had diverted her to an abandoned branch and destroyed her route back.
• Izayoi struck the pillar of light until its outer layer cracked, but a surge from the star knocked him away as Algol’s power engulfed Perseus’s base and the surrounding region.
• Algol emerged as a vastly stronger serpent demon, and Black Rabbit collapsed in terror as the creature approached her.
• A figure seized Algol from behind despite being pierced through the body, then ordered Snow White to carry Black Rabbit away.

Bai Yue and Algol were swallowed by the Decadent Wind, and the Gift Game ended amid the destruction of the palace. Back at Thousand Eyes’ base, Black Rabbit discovered Bai Yue was still alive, and the group set out to find him and learn how badly he was hurt.

• Snow White watched the Decadent Wind strike Bai Yue and Algol, while their monsters and demons were erased trying to protect them.
• Kuon Asuka and Kasukabe Yao found the ruined palace and learned from Jin that Bai Yue and Algol had perished together in the Decadent Wind.
• Bai Yue revealed that he had survived in his own domain, though more than seventy percent of his body had been erased.
• White Night doubted Bai Yue had been killed and told Black Rabbit to check the contract document for his Community.
• Black Rabbit saw that Bai Yue’s name remained on the document, confirming he was alive, and the group prepared to find him and assess his condition.

Bai Yue returned to Noname with Lilith, a restrained and hostile new maid, and Black Rabbit and the others struggled to handle her. Meanwhile, he explained how poets could alter history through their poems and began preparing to use that power to undo Algol’s seal, leaving Snow White with a new poem to read.

• Black Rabbit found Bai Yue at the gate after a week of waiting and was bitten by the fierce maid Lilith when Bai Yue dodged her attack.
• Bai Yue introduced Lilith to Leticia and Snow White, who were assigned to guide her and could threaten to cut her hair if she misbehaved.
• Snow White noticed Bai Yue’s poems about Demon King Algol and learned that poets could make their chants alter history.
• Bai Yue explained that he intended to spread poems to distant worlds connected to Hakone World and use a poet’s power to undo Algol’s seal.
• Bai Yue threatened Lilith with a grotesque imagined description if she tore up his poem, then handed Snow White another poem to read.

Leticia discovered recent papers in her master's study that connected him to Canary and bore the familiar handwriting of someone she thought was dead. Meanwhile, he entered a miniature universe where the stars’ light gathered into its central construct.

• Snow White accepted her master's praise and agreed to work until she became worthy of it, then left after he asked her to warm his bed.
• Leticia recalled how her master had won her freedom and continued serving him at Noname.
• Leticia visited her master's room and watched him react intensely to her mature form before he went to sleep.
• A gust scattered her master's papers, and Leticia found pantheon-building notes that matched what Canary had once taught her.
• Leticia found a second set of papers written in familiar handwriting and realized they had been written within the past week.
• Her master entered a miniature universe as starlight gathered around its central power source.
