Su Xiao summoned Dracule Mihawk in the Training Ground and, after learning to fight with faith rather than brute force, advanced his Sword Mastery and Rhythm of All Things. He later went to collect the Bullhead Lord Armguard from the Bald Old Man, arriving as the smith argued with two Contractors.

• Su Xiao said the Phantom Troupe had invited him, and Mei Ji hurried away after realizing who he was.
• Su Xiao spent several days practicing and recovering his Mana before selling 19 Intermediate Psychic Bombs at the Trading Market.
• Su Xiao used the bombs’ production to raise Alchemy Bomb Manufacturing to Lv. 3 and finished with 6,023 Paradise Coins in his imprint.

After returning to the real world, Su Xiao was urgently conscripted into a Space Battlefield because his Hunt Mission in Akame ga Kill! remained incomplete. Reincarnation Paradise assigned him a neutral judge’s role, and he prepared for the war as the Trading Market filled with Workers forced to sell supplies cheaply.

• Su Xiao spent four days recovering at his seaside villa before Reincarnation Paradise issued him an emergency conscription order.
• Reincarnation Paradise announced a war against a Void tribe and changed Su Xiao’s Hunt Mission to suppress riots and hunt Violators as a neutral judge.
• Su Xiao received a black scythe-and-scales mark, then returned to Reincarnation Paradise as the Space Battlefield’s launch approached.
• Su Xiao saw that the Trading Market was crowded with Workers selling supplies at reduced prices under Reincarnation Paradise’s mandatory wartime rules.

Su Xiao prepared for the Space Battlefield by buying a recovery potion and heading to the Space Shuttle, where he encountered Adam and the leaders of several Adventurer Teams. Reincarnation Paradise ordered all Contractors aboard, and the shuttle began preparing for its spatial jump.

• Su Xiao found Xia selling ingredients because Reincarnation Paradise required Workers to set up stalls, and Xia wished him a safe return.
• Su Xiao bought a Blue-quality Victory Potion for 6,000 Paradise Coins and recognized that the discounted supplies hinted at the Space Battlefield's danger.
• Su Xiao reached the Space Shuttle and met God King, who tried to recruit him to the God King Adventurer Team.
• Su Xiao recognized Adam of the Brotherhood, and Adam warned God King that Su Xiao was powerful.
• Reincarnation Paradise ordered all Contractors into the Space Shuttle, and Su Xiao boarded as its engines started.

Su Xiao and the other Contractors traveled to the Parasyte world, where humanity was fighting the technologically advanced Kara Star People. He learned that the Space War required them to establish and protect three World Coordinates, and as the other Contractors hurried out, he remained alone aboard the spacecraft as his clothes changed.

• Su Xiao identified the three major Adventurer Teams aboard the spacecraft and recognized the unaffiliated Mage Five Fireball beside him.
• The spacecraft completed its spatial traversal, and the Contractors passed the journey playing games and gambling before arriving in the Parasyte world.
• Reincarnation Paradise announced that the Space War was beginning in a radiation zone where Kara Star forces were about to attack.
• Su Xiao learned that the Contractors had to establish three World Coordinates and defend them until they were complete, after which the world would be reset.
• The other Contractors rushed out of the spacecraft, leaving Su Xiao alone inside as his clothes began to change.

Su Xiao entered the Parasyte Derivative World as its Ruler, tasked with establishing World Coordinates and preventing contractors from deserting. He left the spaceship to scout a radioactive wasteland, with the battlefield divided among three Adventurer Teams and lone contractors.

• Su Xiao’s Ruler disguise activated, and he disguised Bubutney as Hell Cerberus for appearances before riding out of the spaceship.
• Su Xiao learned that the Derivative World rejected him as an outsider and received missions to establish two World Coordinates and suppress contractor rebellion.
• Su Xiao concluded that he had to establish the coordinates himself and supervise the contractors, while dealing with enemy violators without hesitation.
• Su Xiao crossed the irradiated wasteland and considered whether the Kara Star People were the enemy and whether Derivative Worlds had been seized rather than created by Reincarnation Paradise.
• Su Xiao checked the battlefield display and saw God King, Brotherhood, and Shining Gold each guarding a side of the spaceship, while lone contractors guarded its rear.

Su Xiao monitored the Adventurer Teams as they defended the spaceship from waves of combat Parasytes, while enforcing the battlefield rule against fleeing contractors. He killed one contractor who resisted, leaving the other two with a clear warning to return to the fight.

• The God King Adventurer Team held its formation against hundreds of combat Parasytes while God King directed the defense and a Magic Cannon blasted the attackers.
• Su Xiao opened the War Channel and warned the team leaders that anyone who broke the defense and fled would die.
• Su Xiao spotted three contractors escaping the battle zone and rode Bubutney to intercept them.
• The three contractors received a warning from Reincarnation Paradise, but one raised his sniper rifle at Su Xiao again.
• Su Xiao's Ruler ability flung two contractors away, and he killed the remaining gunman with a single slash.

Su Xiao organized the Contractors into a stronger defense and watched them repel the Parasytes’ attacks. As another enemy Ruler approached, Su Xiao considered killing them as a way to influence the war without breaking the rules.

• Su Xiao ordered God King, Brotherhood, and Shining Gold to send vice leaders to command the Fourth War Zone, where Flash Silver took charge.
• The Contractors repelled the first Parasyte assault, and Reincarnation Paradise rewarded Su Xiao with two small Soul Crystals for his performance as a Ruler.
• A massive second wave of Parasytes attacked, and the Contractors held their positions as Joker drew the enemies’ attention and Flash Silver defended the Fourth War Zone.
• Su Xiao monitored the battle and reflected on his failed Hunt Mission from the previous Derivative World.
• Reincarnation Paradise warned Su Xiao that an enemy Ruler was approaching, and Su Xiao considered killing them.

Su Xiao fought and killed Tuka, a silver-scaled Kara Star Person and enemy Ruler, after resisting his psychic attacks. He collected a crystal-like item from Tuka’s corpse and permanently gained 15 Mana from his Spirit Eater talent.

• Su Xiao encountered Tuka, but neither could understand the other, so Su Xiao attacked.
• Tuka struck Su Xiao with psychic attacks, while Su Xiao restrained him with Boundary Severing Thread and wounded him with Dragon Slayer Flash.
• After Tuka’s attack pushed Su Xiao below 20% health, Bloody Battle increased Su Xiao’s Stamina and cleared his head.
• Tuka recognized Su Xiao as a strong warrior and prepared to die with him, but Su Xiao cleaved him in two.
• Su Xiao picked up Tuka’s Collection and gained 15 permanent Mana through Spirit Eater.

Su Xiao assessed the Contractors’ battle and planned to seek support from the Human Alliance while the war continued. He posted a recruitment notice and opened Tuka's Collection, ending with a mysterious ore whose attributes stunned him.

• Su Xiao concluded that the Kara Star People were the Contractors’ main enemies and that the Human Alliance might become an ally.
• Su Xiao posted a War Channel notice recruiting three Charm specialists and three guards to negotiate with the Human Alliance.
• Su Xiao used stored luck from Destiny Redemption to open Tuka's Collection.
• Su Xiao obtained a Soul Crystal (Medium), a Mental Shock skill scroll, and Monteraya Ore.

Su Xiao secured rare enhancement materials while the contractors endured a brutal Parasyte assault that eventually weakened and retreated. As the Ruler selected teams for a mission, Flash Silver proposed sending two powerful Charm specialists, and Su Xiao left his response ambiguous while she interpreted his silence.

• Su Xiao stored the Monteraya Ore and considered how it could protect Dragon Slayer Flash during a risky enhancement.
• God King’s Main Tank lost his composure under the Parasyte assault, but God King and the Healer helped stabilize him.
• After several more hours of fighting, the Parasytes retreated, leaving the exhausted contractors with 259 casualties out of 289.
• God King and Adam volunteered two people each for the Ruler’s deployment, while Flash Silver proposed sending two combat-capable twin sisters with Charm Attributes above 25.
• Su Xiao gave Flash Silver no clear answer, and she decided his silence might signal that the battlefield did not have to end in everyone’s death.

Su Xiao let six Charm-specialist Contracters cross the battlefield boundary because he had already killed the enemy Ruler, then watched as a gigantic War Beast attacked the spaceship. He scanned the creature’s formidable data as the Contracters charged into battle.

• Su Xiao met six Contracters from the God King, Brotherhood, and Flash Gold Adventurer Teams, and let them pass despite Reincarnation Paradise’s warnings.
• Reincarnation Paradise tried and failed to contact the enemy Ruler, confirming that Su Xiao had killed it.
• Su Xiao watched the Kara Star People remain inactive while the World Coordinates neared completion, then saw a War Beast approach the battlefield.
• The War Beast hurled three corrosive Bio Bombs at the spaceship, prompting God King and the other Adventurer Teams to attack.
• Flash Silver warned the hesitant Contracters that Su Xiao could kill them if they refused to fight, and they followed the charge.
• Su Xiao scanned the War Beast and learned about its immense durability, powerful attacks, corrosive blood, and linked Parasites.

Su Xiao left the first World Coordinate under the Contractors’ guard and reached the mountainous site of the second. He found an ideal cave for the coordinate, but it was occupied by Mutant Crocodiles, and Bubutney’s attempt to lure them out ended with the beasts chasing him.

• Golden Ghost survived the War Beast’s blow, then enlarged with Flash Silver’s help and held the monster off while Contractors attacked it.
• Su Xiao decided to leave the first coordinate’s defenses and travel with Bubutney to establish the second World Coordinate.
• Su Xiao reached the mountain site, avoided Mutant Beasts and deadly wasteland hazards, and identified a defensible cave for the coordinate.
• Su Xiao found more than a dozen Mutant Crocodiles occupying the cave and ordered Bubutney to lure them out.
• After his barking and taunting failed, Bubutney urinated near the cave, provoking the Crocodiles to charge after him.

Su Xiao lured sixteen Giant Crocodiles into the narrow One-Line Sky and killed them with Alchemy Bombs and Dragon Slayer Flash. After his Spirit Eater talent reached its limit, he reflected on how his Magic-Immune Constitution kept his Mana exceptionally pure.

• Bubutney lured the Giant Crocodiles toward Su Xiao and baited them into entering One-Line Sky by urinating in their territory.
• Su Xiao detonated four Alchemy Bombs as the Giant Crocodiles crossed them, causing a powerful blast that buried and killed many of them.
• Su Xiao descended into the valley and killed a wounded Giant Crocodile with Dragon Slayer Flash, gaining Mana through Spirit Eater.
• Su Xiao searched the rubble and killed the remaining unconscious Giant Crocodiles, bringing Spirit Eater to its limit.
• Su Xiao considered how his Magic-Immune Constitution filtered elements from his Mana and increased the power of his Alchemy Bombs.

Su Xiao confronted a Leader Level Giant Crocodile after it ambushed him from beneath the rubble. He lured it into an open basin and began carving into its back, leaving the battle unresolved.

• A hidden Leader Level Giant Crocodile burst from the rubble and nearly killed Su Xiao, who escaped its jaws with a grappling hook.
• Su Xiao sent Bubutney out of the valley and led the pursuing crocodile into an open basin to avoid attracting other Mutant Beasts.
• Su Xiao circled the crocodile until it charged, then dodged and severed a third of its tail with Dragon Slayer Flash.
• While the crocodile crushed its severed tail in its jaws, Su Xiao slashed deeply into its back armor and climbed onto its back.
• Su Xiao repeatedly struck the fallen crocodile, cutting into its bones as it struggled to attack him.

Su Xiao fought the Mutant Giant Crocodile alone, using explosives and gunfire to cripple it before closing in for a decisive strike. The crocodile was still alive at the end, with Dragon Slayer Flash driven through its throat toward its stomach.

• The Mutant Giant Crocodile hurled Su Xiao away with its tail, leaving him injured, and he drank a potion before examining its abilities.
• After recovering, Su Xiao faced the crocodile again and tossed an explosive into its mouth, badly injuring it from within.
• Su Xiao shot the fallen crocodile and threw his last Alchemy Bomb, but the crocodile revealed it had been pretending to be dead and charged through the blast.
• Su Xiao's injured calf kept him from retreating, but the crocodile's destroyed lower jaw prevented it from biting him.
• Su Xiao grabbed the crocodile's upper jaw and plunged Dragon Slayer Flash through its throat, though the beast still had not died.
