Chapter Summaries

The Gamma Colossus Plundering Group seized the Wanderer Marauder Gang’s haul and forced them to extort Anunnaki’s customers while pirates watched. Meanwhile, Ona tried to win the Sha Cha pirates’ protection by claiming a legendary Dragon Race artifact lay beneath his homeworld, finally drawing their attention.

• One hundred and twenty Gamma Colossi arrived, killed a Steel Giant, confiscated the Wanderers’ ships and plunder, and threatened their leader when he objected.
• The pirates sided with the Gamma Colossi, so the Wanderers backed down and were ordered to collect ten billion lang in ransom from each of Anunnaki’s customers.
• Ona and the centaur reached a territory occupied by nine Sha Cha pirates, and Ona urged them to become his protectors while the centaur went to look for their families.
• After the Sha Cha pirates ignored his scientific knowledge, Ona claimed he knew of a top-tier Dragon Race artifact buried beneath Kunlun Star, and the nine pirates turned to hear him.

Ona’s claim that Kunlun Star held a Dragon Race artifact attracted attention from the gathered pirates, but the Shacha Civilization pirates dismissed the Torch Dragon as a mundane weather controller. As a Gamma Colossus approached the Sun God Tree shelter, Temelo urged Old Ma and the others to charge toward the looted machinery and hide inside a vehicle to escape.

• The Shacha Civilization pirates questioned Ona about the Torch Dragon, then shielded their camp from nearby pirate gangs while his story spread among them.
• Pirates across the planet learned of Ona’s claim, though most continued focusing on looting the Anunnaki and other resources.
• Temelo and Old Ma led a group of villagers out of hiding and found Ona near the Shacha Civilization pirates’ ship, but he waved them away.
• Ona realized the pirates considered the Torch Dragon an ordinary atomic-level weather controller and cowered behind them, hoping they would keep him around.
• When a Gamma Colossus flew toward their shelter, Temelo rejected Old Ma’s plan to flee to another Sun God Tree and ordered everyone to rush toward the tree and hide inside a vehicle being hauled away.

Ona was abandoned by the Sha Cha pirates, rescued by Moya pirates, and failed to convince them that Torch Dragon was a valuable treasure. The Moya pirates then discovered that Kaleidoscope’s forces had surrounded Gaia Star, setting the stage for a major confrontation.

• The Sha Cha pirates left Ona behind, and he watched the Gamma Colossi destroy the Sun God Tree and devastate the surrounding ecosystem.
• A Moya Race pirate gang rescued Ona and demanded that he repeat what he had told the Shacha People.
• Ona exaggerated the truth about Torch Dragon, but the Moya captain recognized his lies and mocked him with the tale of the Exquisite Flame Rabbit King.
• The Moya pirates spotted an enormous force of Star Destroyer mechs surrounding Gaia Star and realized Kaleidoscope had arrived.

Temelo raced with the primitive creatures to the Sun God Tree’s reception plaza and used its Nano Armor to survive the tree’s collapse and the Gamma Colossus’s salvage operation. She and the baby reached the transport ship’s cargo bay, where she was trapped beneath machinery as the chapter ended.

• Temelo led the centaurs and other primitive creatures to the reception plaza, where she authenticated Nano Armor for herself and the baby.
• The Sun God Tree collapsed, and Temelo survived the shock wave by grabbing onto a mech while the Nano Armor shielded her from flying debris.
• Temelo sheltered beneath the mech as a falling palace struck, then clung to the machinery as the transport ship lifted it above the molten slurry.
• A flying saucer knocked Temelo from the mech, but she reached the saucer and held on until it carried her into the cargo bay.
• Incoming machinery hurled Temelo through the cargo bay and pinned her in a cramped gap, leaving her and the baby alive but trapped as her armor’s energy drained.

Kaleidoscope led the Anunnaki against the Gamma Colossus squad and the pirates at Gaia Star, revealing his Quantum Condensed Matter Body and the Ice and Snow Planet’s overwhelming power. After the planet collided with Gaia Star and froze much of it, Kaleidoscope accepted that there was no turning back for him.

• The Gamma Colossus squad attacked Kaleidoscope, but he used a hundred million Micro-Ink Golden Wheels to hold them off while Shadow Kill Legion and the Anunnaki attacked the pirates.
• Kaleidoscope’s forces bombarded the pirate fleets and stripped Gaia Star for energy, while the Gamma Colossi’s Genesis Death Rays damaged the Ice and Snow Planet without stopping it.
• Shadow Madman ambushed the Gamma captain, destroyed his mech, and killed him after Kaleidoscope refused to spare him; Kaleidoscope realized the Gamma Legion’s main force was away from the Abyss.
• Kaleidoscope revealed his true Quantum Condensed Matter Body, survived the pirates’ concentrated barrage, and regenerated after being annihilated.
• The Ice and Snow Planet struck Gaia Star, scattering its matter into space and freezing much of the magma planet as Kaleidoscope said there was no turning back for him.

Kaleidoscope used the Quantum Condensed Matter Body and its enormous war star to overpower the pirates, assimilating their ships and crew as they tried to flee or fight back. He continued slaughtering them with rapid transformations and quantum tunneling, growing larger as he absorbed their matter.

• The Condensed Matter Celestial Body absorbed the pirates’ attacks, and they discovered that positrons could damage it as the planet began converting its mass into energy.
• The pirates split between those who wanted to unite against Kaleidoscope and those who chose to flee, losing their chance to mount a final stand.
• Kaleidoscope transformed into a laser and pierced pirate ships, then assimilated their decks and crew when he touched them.
• Kaleidoscope absorbed pirates across the battlefield while their Positron Cannons inflicted too little damage to stop him.
• Kaleidoscope used quantum tunneling to pass through antimatter armor and overlap with a Steel Giant, disintegrating and absorbing him.

Kaleidoscope used his true Unified Force Weapon to destroy the pirate fleets, exposing his identity as the wanted Taiwei Hua fugitive Nightmare Demon. After he set out to raid the Four Emperors’ headquarters for resources to defeat Great Emperor Ziwei, the Ziwei Kunlun Skyworm Legion arrived, led by the Kunlun Empress.

• Kaleidoscope transformed into varied substances and annihilated the pirate gangs with his Unified Force Weapon, the Shadow Kill Legion, and Negative Mass Weapons.
• The Wanderer Marauder Gang identified Kaleidoscope as Nightmare Demon, a former Taiwei Hua narcotics officer wanted for producing Fortune Longevity Particles and killing law-enforcement officers.
• Kaleidoscope told Shadow Madman that he suspected Great Emperor Ziwei was a former drug lord and planned to raid the Gamma Colossus Plundering Group’s headquarters for resources.
• A Gravitational Wave broadcast announced that the Ziwei Kunlun Skyworm Legion had arrived and that the Kunlun Empress intended to kill the Anunnaki.
• Kaleidoscope reacted with surprise to the name Kunlun as Shadow Madman prepared the troops for the newcomers.

Bone Fan’s Kunlun Insect Swarm attacked Kaleidoscope, who sent the Ice and Snow Planet away and left his forces behind. Bone Fan’s Dark Matter Insect Cloud struck Kaleidoscope, but he absorbed part of it and grew stronger.

• Kaleidoscope recognized Kunlun but misunderstood Bone Fan’s Dark Matter Insect Cloud as a new Quantum Divine Core and ordered the Ice and Snow Planet and most of his forces to retreat.
• The Ice and Snow Planet broke through the Skyworm swarm’s encirclement, while Bone Fan stopped her insects from wasting their lives trying to block it.
• The Kunlun Insect Swarm trapped Kaleidoscope and defeated most of the Shadow Kill Legion, leaving only a small number of assassins to escape.
• Kaleidoscope realized Bone Fan had not used her supposed Quantum Divine Core and rushed toward her, but she evaded him and attacked with a Dark Matter insect arm.
• Kaleidoscope countered the insect arm at the moment it struck, converting a large section into condensed matter and absorbing it to enlarge and strengthen his body.

Bone Fan and the Kunlun Insect Swarm overwhelmed the Shadow Kill Legion with unfamiliar dark-matter weapons and a vast Skyworm tide, while Kaleidoscope remained largely unharmed. Suspecting Huang Ji was holding back, Kaleidoscope refused to summon Blue Snow Star IX and chose to restore it to peak condition before facing the threat.

• Bone Fan's dark-matter insect cloud ambushed and destroyed Shadow Assassins with Manifestation Strikes, Freezing Light Waves, and delayed explosions.
• A pirate salvaged wreckage from a fallen Shadow Assassin, drew the Legion's fire, and escaped while taunting them about the approaching insect tide.
• The Shadow Kill Legion saw tens of millions of kilometers of Skyworms approaching and realized the swarm's enormous numbers and combat adaptations made it a formidable threat.
• Kaleidoscope neutralized the insect cloud's attacks with Electronization and cold resistance, then grew into a thirty-thousand-meter pure-white giant by assimilating matter.
• Bone Fan challenged Kaleidoscope to summon Blue Snow Star IX, but he suspected she was bluffing or baiting him and decided to restore the weapon instead of risking a fight.

Kaleidoscope led the surviving Shadow Kill Legion through the Dark Matter Insect Cloud, using scattered matter to reveal its movements while fighting off the pirates. As Bone Fan moved to protect a transport ship carrying primitive beings, Kaleidoscope concluded that Huang Ji was a scholar and resolved to face him.

• Kaleidoscope ordered the Shadow Assassins to scatter radioactive dust and attack the pirates, using the matter to track the Dark Matter Insect Cloud.
• Kaleidoscope switched to his Antimatter mode, absorbed the pirates’ Antimatter attack, and returned its energy to destroy their ships.
• The surviving pirates fled, while Kaleidoscope and fewer than four hundred Shadow Assassins seized the transport fleet and scattered matter to help evade the insect cloud.
• Bone Fan detected primitive beings aboard a transport ship and used a giant claw to protect it from a Shadow Assassin.
• Kaleidoscope recognized that Huang Ji had likely designed the Dark Matter Insect Cloud as a scholar and said he would be able to deal with him if he was not a prophet.

Tartarus captured Firefeather and twelve Firebird prisoners, but a surprise attack disrupted the Anunnaki army when dark-matter Invincibles emerged from decoy planets. In the chaos, Firefeather tried to escape with his brothers and discovered there were thirteen Firebird prisoners besides himself.

• Tartarus brought the captured Firefeather before him and prepared to execute the twelve other Firebird prisoners, while Firefeather pleaded for their lives.
• Tartarus received reports that enemy forces had destroyed several sentry posts and ordered his detachments to respond.
• Iron Lumps dismantled an incoming iron-nickel planet and unknowingly escorted it into the Anunnaki encampment; Tartarus later spotted similar planets arriving around the army.
• Tartarus destroyed the central planet and realized its gravitational field concealed dark matter, just as roughly a million Invincibles appeared and attacked the Anunnaki at close range.
• Firefeather attempted to flee with his brothers amid the battle, then noticed that thirteen other Firebird prisoners were present instead of twelve.

The Skyworms launched a surprise attack on Tartarus's army and rescued several of Firefeather's brothers, while Huang Ji impersonated Thundersun and used a decoy to draw Tartarus away from the real Firefeather. The battle continued as the Anunnaki counterattacked with Negative Mass Weapons, but Keke's Godzilla and the Skyworms' Dark Matter Energy Network gave the invaders a powerful logistical advantage.

• Firefeather recognized the apparent Thundersun among the Skyworms and boarded an Invincible with his brothers as the ships began transforming into Dark Matter.
• Tartarus pursued the escaping Invincible, damaged it with Purification Power, and forced the group to try to split up.
• The apparent Thundersun transformed into Firefeather Old Ten and lured Tartarus away, while the real Firefeather stayed hidden in the Invincible wreckage with the Blood-Veined Golden Blade.
• Tartarus captured the decoy and let the other Firebird brothers escape, unaware that the real Firefeather had been rescued by another giant insect and that the apparent Thundersun was Huang Ji.
• The Anunnaki rallied and used Negative Mass Weapons to destroy many Skyworms, while Keke rampaged in Godzilla and the Skyworms supplied their forces through a Dark Matter Energy Network.

Tartarus’s Anunnaki army was routed by the Skyworms’ dark matter supply network, and he escaped with only seventy-one comrades beside him. Stranded with barely enough energy to travel, he realized Ziwei’s attack had also cut off his access to Firefeather’s hidden supplies, then considered pooling the survivors’ energy into one person.

• Tartarus discovered that the Skyworms’ dark matter logistics network let them replenish their Soldier Insects while the Anunnaki’s energy reserves dwindled, so he ordered a retreat.
• Trapped in a tangled melee, Tartarus ordered the army to scatter and flee, sacrificing its formation so more soldiers could escape.
• Two hours later, Tartarus had only seventy-one comrades with him, though roughly ten million Anunnaki had survived in scattered groups, and he planned to rendezvous with the boss at the Ice and Snow Planet.
• Tartarus questioned Firefeather about a hidden supply cache, but suspected its coordinates were compromised and refused to risk a trap.
• Tartarus realized Ziwei’s Trojan horse maneuver had struck his army, trapped it in battle, and rescued the rebels to deny him access to Firefeather’s supplies.
• After Huang Ji taunted him about the resources needed by all seventy-two survivors, Tartarus considered pooling their energy into one person.

Kaleidoscope led the Shadow Kill Legion through the insect swarm until Ou Tou Gravitational Waves disabled their weapons and armor, leaving them vulnerable to the Dark Matter Insect Cloud’s Invisible Black Hole attack. He escaped with only six companions and concluded that Huang Ji had targeted his forces, then threatened to bring Tartarus’s sixty million soldiers into the fight.

• Kaleidoscope ordered the Shadow Kill Legion to avoid fusing skyworms, but colossal insect bodies surrounded them and unleashed Ou Tou Gravitational Waves.
• The gravitational waves destroyed communications, damaged the Shadow Assassins’ equipment, and stalled their negative mass weapons as the Dark Matter Insect Cloud closed in.
• The Dark Matter Insect Cloud gathered dust and rubble into an Invisible Black Hole attack, crushing hundreds of Shadow Assassins inside a white-dwarf-like mass.
• Kaleidoscope escaped with six companions and realized that Huang Ji had used the attack to weaken his forces.
• Kaleidoscope declared that Tartarus still had an army of sixty million and challenged Huang Ji to defeat them.

Kaleidoscope tried to save his six remaining Shadow Assassins, but Bone Fan’s forces killed them with a weapon that converted living beings into dark matter. After probing the Kunlun Insect Race’s capabilities, Kaleidoscope destroyed his own body and returned by divine sense to Blue Snow Star.

• Kaleidoscope used Spacetime Expansion to slow the Gigantic Skyworm while his six Shadow Assassins attempted to escape.
• Bone Fan’s Skyworm Legion trapped the six assassins in a Black Cavity and converted their bodies into dark matter, leaving their Star Destroyer mechs empty.
• Kaleidoscope challenged the ten Gigantic Skyworms to use the converter on him, and Bone Fan explained that she lacked the unified force equipment needed to implement his conversion model.
• Kaleidoscope concluded that the Kunlun Insect Race lacked a Unified Force Weapon and warned Bone Fan that his next meeting with Huang Ji would be their final battle.
• Kaleidoscope let gravity collapse his Central Core and disintegrate his body, then his divine sense returned to Blue Snow Star and reshaped a humanoid form.

Tartarus carried Huang Ji toward Blue Snow Star while Huang Ji used the destruction of Tartarus’s sixty million troops to pressure him into granting a final favor. Tartarus agreed to retrieve Old Nine’s body before Huang Ji died, though he planned to meet Kaleidoscope first.

• Tartarus traveled toward Blue Snow Star alone with Huang Ji, having left his subordinates behind with enough energy to use their communicators.
• Huang Ji pointed out that the Four Emperors were likely away from their home territory, and Tartarus accepted the possibility.
• Huang Ji warned Tartarus that he could undermine Tartarus’s account of losing sixty million troops when they met Kaleidoscope, threatening his standing with the boss.
• Tartarus feared that Huang Ji could leave doubts in Kaleidoscope’s mind, even without directly accusing him of anything.
• Huang Ji asked Tartarus to retrieve Old Nine’s body so he could die beside him, and Tartarus agreed to do it after meeting the boss.

After the Kunlun forces defeated the pirates, Ona tried to secure his survival by appealing to the Three-Eyed Race and offering information about Huang Ji. He discovered that his captors were the Double Pupils rebels, and Adams cast him into space for betraying his own civilization.

• The Kunlun forces brought the surviving pirate ships into a Skyworm and ordered the pirates to surrender; Ona discovered he could breathe inside the insect.
• Brando offered the pirates their mechs and freedom as drifters, and Ona begged the Three-Eyed Race to take him in.
• Evil Dragon made Ona choose someone to ask for protection, and Ona chose Adams, who asked him for a reason not to kill him.
• Ona claimed he could help them find the Dragon Race treasure Torch Dragon by identifying Huang Ji, but the Three-Eyed Race revealed that Huang Ji led their faction.
• Adams accused Ona of betraying Earth by encouraging aliens to invade and threw him into space, while Temelo watched with their daughter.

Kaleidoscope and the Anunnaki conquered the Gamma Colossus headquarters while the Four Emperors’ main force was away, and he realized the other headquarters might also be vulnerable. He ordered his forces to turn the plundered resources into an army as news arrived that Tartarus had lost and was rendezvousing with them.

• Blue Snow Star and fewer than twenty Anunnaki invaded the Gamma Colossus headquarters, where Kaleidoscope’s reshaping helped them defeat the outnumbered defenders after six hours.
• Kaleidoscope questioned the captured Stone People, learned the Four Emperors’ main force was plundering the Shacha Civilization, and killed him after deducing the other headquarters were also undefended.
• Kaleidoscope recognized that controlling the headquarters’ wormhole let him target the other Four Emperors’ headquarters before their forces could return.
• Kaleidoscope ordered his subordinates to inventory the vast stores of resources and weapons, then feed materials into Blue Snow Star to forge Unified Force armor for his army.
• Kaleidoscope discovered Tartarus had used the Secret Order Pulse to request coordinates and interpreted three repeated signals as confirmation that his mission was accomplished.
• Kaleidoscope told Shadow Madman that Ziwei was only the first of many enemies and ordered the Anunnaki to prepare for an endless war.

Kaleidoscope equipped his forces with Unified Force armaments on Blue Snow Star and immediately led a raid on another of the Four Emperors' headquarters. Jia Wen stayed behind to wait for Tartarus and establish production lines for Little Grey troops.

• Kaleidoscope produced ten million Tai Wei Hands, matching Energy Axes, and twenty thousand Snow Wheel Flowers from the resources taken at Gamma's headquarters.
• Kaleidoscope ordered Shadow Madman, Jia Wen, and the others to raid the remaining three emperors' headquarters without waiting for Tartarus.
• Kaleidoscope assigned Jia Wen to await Tartarus and his forces, upgrade their equipment, and use Little Greys to operate the available micro-particle mechs.
• Kaleidoscope reopened the sealed wormhole and entered another Four Emperors' headquarters with a dozen trusted subordinates to begin a major battle.
• Jia Wen closed the wormhole, took control of a Mechanical Star, and converted its machinery into production lines for mass-producing Little Grey troops.

Kaleidoscope captured a third Four Emperors headquarters while Jia Wen produced millions of Little Greys and prepared a vast cache of Unified Force weapons. Tartarus arrived with Huang Ji but without his army, and Kaleidoscope returned before Tartarus could explain where everyone was.

• Kaleidoscope ordered Jia Wen to send a force of Little Greys with him to raid the third Four Emperors headquarters before reinforcements could arrive through the wormholes.
• Jia Wen produced four million Little Greys while waiting for Tartarus, then showed him ten million Unified Force weapons prepared for the army.
• Tartarus arrived with Huang Ji concealed in his armor and revealed that roughly ten million of their people had survived, but did not explain where they were.
• Jia Wen confronted Huang Ji about his alleged alliance with Ziwei, restrained him, and threw him toward the ground before Tartarus caught him.
• Kaleidoscope returned through the wormhole with another haul of resources, and Jia Wen told him they had taken three Four Emperors headquarters.
