• Huang Ji’s troops fought toward the exposed Saint Ship as the Deformation Worms held off pursuers and Nai Di scattered supplies along the retreat route.

Ziwei escaped the black market by abandoning supplies, triggering a chaotic battle in which pirates fought over the loot and ambushed survivors. When the Gamma Colossus Plundering Group returned, it learned that Kaleidoscope’s Golden Crow forces had looted the market, and the colossi recognized the company as a likely culprit.

• Ziwei’s pursuers stopped to scavenge its abandoned supplies, and the black market erupted into a free-for-all among pirates and merchant convoys.

Huang Ji gave Bone Fan a vast, upgraded Ziwei biotechnology system and ordered the Skyworms to prepare for war after a month of travel. As Bone Fan mobilized the swarm and built a fleet of enormous motherships, Keke chose to become one herself and joined the coming battle, while Mu Yuan reluctantly accepted that she wanted freedom.

• Huang Ji gave Bone Fan a biotechnology package that expanded on the Empress's legacy with peak micro-particle technologies, including dark matter insect clouds and the Limit Force Field.
• Bone Fan declared she could integrate the technology within a year, but Huang Ji said they would travel for a month before going to war and only needed to restore the Skyworms' former military strength.
• Bone Fan directed thirty billion Skyworms to consume their supplies and build a quadrillion-strong swarm, then led them in constructing three hundred thousand moon-sized motherships.

• Huang Ji told Mu Yuan that Keke wanted freedom from his protection and promised she would survive; Keke then joined the Kunlun Fleet as Bone Fan hurried to upgrade the motherships and develop a dark matter insect cloud.

The Dark Metal survivors returned to their leader and reported that an army of Golden Crows had looted the black market. The leader blamed the five Anunnaki Golden Crows at his headquarters and ordered their deaths, while the lone survivor escaped the first encirclement and sent a distress signal to Anunnaki’s distant main force.

Wanderer Marauder Gang pirates invaded Luxury Gaia Planet, slaughtering its Anunnaki defenders and stripping the planet for resources while its Primitive Races struggled to survive. Ona and Old Ma escaped the first shockwave, but as the Sun God Tree sustaining their region came under threat, Ona saw millions of ships descend and hoped to find a powerful group willing to take him in.

• The Wanderer Marauder Gang crashed Steel Giants onto Luxury Gaia Planet, and the resulting shockwave devastated the land and killed many Primitive Races.
• Ona and Old Ma survived when a Steel Giant's White Dwarf Star hammer drew the shockwave and debris away while compressing the planet's resources.
• Ona and Old Ma fled from a pursuing Steel Giant, and Ona watched Anunnaki angels get destroyed by a Positron Cannon.

• Ona realized that the Sun God Tree maintained the life-support fields and urged Old Ma to flee toward another protected region.
• Ona saw millions of Anunnaki ships descend and hoped that one of the arriving groups would accept him as a servant.

As pirates devastated Myriad Races Paradise, the Tentacle Prime Minister and other customers assumed Anunnaki would keep them safe, but the Wanderer Marauder Gang captured them. A Gamma Colossus then struck down the Steel Giant and challenged the pirates.

• The Tentacle Prime Minister dismissed reports of the attack and resumed his ritual with the Crocodile People, while two Moya nobles warned that the pirates might be dangerous.
• A strike from an Atomic Nucleus Blade split the VIP room and killed Crocodile People, so the Tentacle Prime Minister flew outside to demand that the pirates spare the customers.
• The Steel Giant mocked the Prime Minister, captured him and other nobles, and sealed them in an electromagnetic cage.
• The Steel Giant injured the Prime Minister with a sonic roar and declared that his gang controlled the situation.
• A Gamma Colossus unleashed a powerful sonic blast that drove the Steel Giant into the ground and declared that the Gamma Colossi would not let the pirates call the shots.

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.

• 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.

• 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.
