• Lanqi ordered the Ninth Battalion to charge, and Zhong Feng directed Su Yu and the Great Cultivators to execute their fourth plan.
• Su Yu controlled the island’s clovers to blast the monster formation with powerful winds, scattering its Tier 5 members and disrupting the Tier 6 monsters.

• Tina’s voice confirmed that Su Yu was alive, easing the fears of Zhong Feng, the Great Cultivators, Hu Jing, Zhang, and the players watching the battle.
• Marnina XIII spared Lanqi after the assassination failed and ordered him to continue commanding the battle.
• The Skrull monster army landed on Tsushima Island and clashed with Zhong Feng’s main force, while Tina charged through the monsters and killed several.
• Zhong Feng’s forces used Frost Dragons, Flame Phoenixes, Shadow Wraiths, Holy Angels, Great Cultivators, and Enchanted Plants to attack, but the stronger and more numerous monsters pushed them into a disadvantage.
• Marnina XIII learned that Blue Star had exchanged gold for the high-tier units and considered encouraging the Pacific Nation’s leaders to create more trouble on Blue Star.

Lanqi and Zhong Feng assessed each other’s forces and fought over the Blue Star army’s Holy Angels and the Skrull horde’s psychic troops. After Zhong Feng’s forces repelled Lanqi’s first assault, he ordered the Shadow Wraiths to teleport into the psychic troops and self-destruct, leaving the result of the attack unresolved.

• Lanqi identified the Holy Angels as the key to Blue Star’s resilience and ordered the monster horde to break through the Frost Dragons’ line and attack the angels.

• Zhong Feng identified the psychic-type monsters as the horde’s main source of firepower and ordered the Shadow Wraiths to teleport beside them, detonate their Doom Shrooms, and self-destruct.

Zhong Feng’s forces suffered heavy losses after the Shadow Wraiths wiped out most of Lanqi’s spellcasters, and Lanqi pressed the attack until the Holy Angels ran out of Mana. Zhong Feng retreated toward Busan, sacrificing most of the remaining Holy Angels, as the Skrull monsters pursued with little resistance; both sides reached Busan for the final battle.

• Zhong Feng’s 500 Shadow Wraiths teleported behind the monster horde and detonated Doom Shrooms, killing nearly all 800 spellcasting monsters.

• Zhong Feng escaped with the Great Cultivators as the two thousand nuclear warheads struck the immobilized monsters, creating the most powerful nuclear explosion in human history.

After Huaxia detonated 2,000 nuclear bombs to destroy the monster horde, Great Cultivators blocked much of the blast’s shockwaves, but earthquakes and tsunamis devastated nearby Goryeo and Neon. Political Commissar Zhang relayed orders for disaster relief, further mining, and a medal ceremony as the survivors faced the losses and the war ahead.

• The Great Cultivators, led by Emperor Liu Che and later joined by Cat Morning Star, formed a defensive line to shield Busan and Neon from the nuclear blast’s shockwaves.
• The resulting earthquake and tsunami collapsed buildings in Goryeo and Neon, though evacuations helped save many people in Goryeo’s southeastern cities.
• Players in Seoul watched the explosion’s footage, felt the earthquake, and discussed the casualties, disaster relief, and mining gold to prepare for the coming war.
• Speaker Hu Jing ordered Political Commissar Zhang to mobilize disaster relief, have Great Cultivators eliminate surviving monsters, and prioritize mining gold for more Tier 5 Soldiers.
• Political Commissar Zhang relayed the orders and was told to arrange a medal ceremony honoring Zhong Feng, Su Yu, and the Great Cultivators.

Su Yu recovered from his wounds and rejoined the Great Cultivators, who prepared to help him break through. On Skrull Star, Marnina XIII dismissed Lanqi’s concerns by ordering Skrull support for a rebellion on Blue Star.

• Su Yu reflected on the battle and concluded that Blue Star needed more high-tier troops and better ways to protect him from Skrull attacks.

• Lanqi warned Marnina XIII that Su Yu, Blue Star’s Tier 6 cultivators, and its gold reserves could threaten Skrull operations.

Prime Minister Gordon traveled to the Skrull Star at Jennifer’s invitation to meet Expeditionary Force commander-in-chief Lanqi. He arrived exhausted but was welcomed at the General Command Headquarters, where he introduced himself to Lanqi.

• Jennifer and Monk greeted Gordon at the mountaintop base, but they struggled to communicate until Monk found a female officer who knew some English.

• Lanqi welcomed Gordon in his office, and Gordon introduced himself as the prime minister of the Pacific Nation of America.

Lanqi gave Prime Minister Gordon a life-extending potion as thanks for his intelligence and promised him power in a Skrull-controlled Blue Star. After drinking it, Gordon regained his youth, while Lanqi and Jennifer observed him and considered using puppet governments instead of eliminating all humans.

• Lanqi offered Gordon Raiko Worm Juice, and Gordon forced himself to drink it and pretend he liked it.
• Lanqi presented Gordon with a Life-Extending Potion in return for the intelligence he had provided about Huaxia Country.

• Gordon drank the potion, and its effects restored his physical functions and youthful vitality within minutes.
• Lanqi promised Gordon a future leadership position and suggested that the Skrull might rule Blue Star through puppet governments.

Lanqi secured Gordon’s cooperation and used the intelligence he provided to devise four plans against Blue Star. Jennifer escorted Gordon back to Blue Star, where Monk greeted them at the Mount Elbert base.

• Gordon offered Lanqi his support in establishing a Skrull-backed government and handed over intelligence on Huaxia.
• Gordon told Lanqi that Indian Nation cultivators controlled Milliken’s nuclear arsenal, listed countries they could recruit, and said his family had fifty suicide warriors left.
• Lanqi planned attacks on Yunlu Mountain, support for puppet governments, an attempt to seize Milliken’s nuclear arsenal, and the destruction of Game Helmets and high-level players.
• Jennifer proposed combining the assault on Yunlu Mountain with the seizure of the nuclear arsenal, and Lanqi ordered her to keep Gordon under close watch.
• Jennifer’s spaceship carried Gordon through a Space Rift to the military base on Mount Elbert, where Monk greeted them and flirted with Jennifer.

After the nuclear blast’s shockwave was stopped, the resulting earthquakes devastated nearby countries, and the Blue Star United Government relied on players and Great Cultivators for relief. Su Yu entered Tina’s Sea Palace to absorb gathered psionic energy and attempt a Tier 7 breakthrough, while Senior Tao, Constantine XI, and King Arthur stayed behind to guard him.

• Jennifer warned Gordon to conceal his restored youth, then saw him leave by helicopter before telling Monk they needed to plan something major.

• Su Yu thanked the Great Cultivators, entered the Sea Palace, and began absorbing the gathered energy for his breakthrough.
• Senior Tao stayed to guard Su Yu, and he was surprised when Constantine XI and King Arthur stayed as well.

Su Yu spent ten days cultivating and reached the final day of his breakthrough toward Tier 7 while Senior Tao Qian, Jun Shi Yi, and King Arthur guarded him. Jun Shi Yi sensed a major event connected to Su Yu, but Senior Tao began to suspect that Jun Shi Yi and King Arthur were trying to lure him away as the chapter ended.
