Chapter Summaries

Roy and the witches and wizards prepared a Martial Arts Heavenly King tournament as a trap to draw out Yudakara’s strongest fighters and seize their destiny. After the tournament began, Roy’s disguised Golden Matan Demon defeated Feyar in seconds, and Roy discovered that the arena’s extraction array had also granted him an unexpected alchemy talent and a silver-ranked secret art.

• Legatus and Roy agreed with the mages to hold a tournament and use it to identify and eliminate the indigenous expert approaching Legendary status.
• Roy developed enhanced Matan Demons and secret medicines for the tournament, then inspected the mages’ Blazing Sun weapon and helped prepare the arena.
• The tournament drew fighters including Acelin, Wol, Feyar, and Higes, while the organizers used publicity and rewards to bring competitors to the Biaban Desert.
• After the 128 qualifiers arrived, Roy placed his Golden Matan Demon, disguised as Kreo, among the contestants.
• Kreo defeated Feyar with a single blow, and Roy’s arena array extracted part of the loser’s Destiny’s Favor while also granting Roy a new alchemy talent and a silver-ranked secret art.

Roy’s harvested Martial Destiny formed the Silver Rank talent Secret Arts Release, while the tournament’s semifinals exposed Higes as the mages’ target. The wizards and witches isolated Higes in a manufactured sandstorm and attacked him, just as a strategic-level Nuclear Weapon detonated and Roy realized the Talent Source Material had stopped increasing.

• Roy watched Jemind use a super-concentrated Maltan Potion to batter Sembat before exhausting himself and losing, and Roy’s Alchemy Talent progress rose.
• The tournament advanced through its early rounds, and Roy’s Silver Rank Secret Arts Release formed, letting him destroy secret runes and enchantments in alchemical products.
• Higes defeated Wol in the semifinals, revealing his extraordinary martial skill; the ruling mages and witches confirmed him as their target and arranged to eliminate him.
• The mages and witches unleashed a sandstorm to isolate Higes, then Legatus, Impeto, and Oyd confronted him while spectators watched a fabricated broadcast from shelter.
• Roy monitored the attempted eradication from afar; a strategic-level Nuclear Weapon detonated, and Roy saw that the Talent Source Material had stopped moving.

Roy defeated Higes in a concealed battle, then helped the mages manipulate the tournament’s results and collect the world’s Martial Destiny. After refining Higes’s memories into a Martial Soul Awakening Potion, Roy opened his Brow and Crown Chakras and manifested a golden dragon Martial Soul.

• Roy isolated himself with Higes and unleashed Alice and his summoned legion, eventually defeating Higes after his regeneration and counterattack failed.
• Legatus, Oyd, and Libala accepted Roy’s victory, installed Salenos as the tournament champion, and used fabricated footage and prize money to distract the contestants from Higes’s disappearance.
• Roy and Libala dismantled the arena and harvested its Martial Destiny, while the mages extracted Higes’s memories and discovered clues about the Resistance Army and Crucif.
• Roy refined Higes’s martial knowledge into a Martial Soul Seed and developed the Level 3 Martial Soul Awakening Potion.
• Roy drank the potion, opened his Brow and Crown Chakras, awakened the Martial Arts Master talent, and manifested a golden dragon Martial Soul.

Roy refined new martial techniques, developed potions and tools to control Yudakara’s warriors, and helped establish city-state tournaments. After the Duelist Chessboard produced a powerful contest, he acquired Yellow Transmutation and realized he could now pursue mastery of the final alchemical secret art, Red Transmutation.

• Roy tested his Dragon Language roars and modified Demon Energy Burst Fist, then agreed to refine a Martial Soul Awakening Potion for Legatus while cautioning against holding more tournaments.
• Roy and Legatus learned that Impeto had been transferred to recover, captured the traitor Crucif with Salenos’s help, and decided to execute him while recruiting Nit for cultivation.
• Roy continued researching martial arts and training Anjali, Planje, and Nissa; after Alice unsuccessfully sought to become his follower, he created the Duelist Chessboard and proposed city-state tournaments to divide and manage Yudakara’s warriors.
• More than a year later, Roy completed the Heavenly King Bloodline Potion and planned to submit it to the alliance, then acquired the Silver Rank talent Yellow Transmutation through a duel on the chessboard.
• Roy realized that only Red Transmutation remained among the four alchemical secret arts and concluded he could attempt to master it himself.

Roy advanced his alchemical defenses and prepared substitute dolls as the Seven Towers Alliance ordered him and Legatus to attack the mages. The war began with the wizards taking cities and assaulting the Mage Tower, but Oyd and Libala ultimately abandoned their forces and fled beyond the Star Sea.

• Roy used Yellowing to turn charcoal into diamond, developed Diamond Skin and Crystallization Coating, and began studying an ultimate defensive system.
• After the alliance ordered a proactive offensive, Roy and Legatus prepared for war, upgraded Trichephalos, and crafted substitute dolls and Curse Puppets.
• Roy and Legatus chose to declare war openly, then began their assault after the alliance sealed the sky and blocked conventional communication and teleportation.
• The wizards captured several cities while their War Puppets fought the mages' Arcane Golems around the Mage Tower.
• Oyd and Libala appeared as projections, then broke free of the Net of Ten Thousand Spirits and fled the world, abandoning damaged golems and their troops.

After the mages fled, Roy and Legatus consolidated control over Yudakara by distributing captured equipment, developing a potion-based advancement system, and extending their rule through the Mata Cult. Roy later discovered that the potions shortened users’ lifespans and turned the resulting danger into a mission system; after Auger died fighting Wol, Roy arranged his resurrection, leaving Auger newly awed and loyal.

• Roy and Legatus discussed the threat of the mages’ return, then Roy rewarded Tugol, Morey, and the other City Heavenly Kings by letting them conquer former mage territories.
• Roy rebuilt two damaged Arcane Golems into the Heavenly Guard and modified captured exoskeletons before selling the equipment to Legatus for 380 million magic stones.
• Roy and Legatus expanded potion-based advancement across Yudakara and established the Mata Cult, while traditional Chakra Secret Martial Arts declined.
• Roy observed Auger defeat Moredo in a Heavenly King tournament and ordered a drug-resistance test, which revealed that Auger had fewer than twenty years left because of potion use and past injuries.
• Auger accepted a mission to hunt Wol in exchange for lifespan-extending Repair Potions, but Wol seriously injured him and escaped; Roy then arranged Auger’s resurrection.
• Auger awoke after the resurrection and, learning he had received additional lifespan for his performance, felt genuine awe and loyalty toward Roy.

Roy perfected the Slice Avatar technique, transferring Sage's Proverbs and other powers into separate bodies, then used one to kill Acelin during the hunt for Wol. After Wol was defeated, Roy joined Legatus in confronting Salenos's forbidden cloning research, but Salenos escaped by teleportation.

• Roy learned that hidden Mages had infiltrated the indigenous magnates and that Salenos's forces were advancing their research through outside support.

• Roy and Legatus attacked Salenos's lair, but Salenos escaped with a Teleportation Scroll while Legatus ordered the laboratory destroyed and its research seized.

Roy and Legatus uncovered a concealed Dimensional Beacon and pursued Salenos, whom Roy eventually killed with a Curse Puppet. Roy then designed the Skinner Box system to govern the world through Alchemical Creations, and Akhenning revealed that the Alliance was preparing an offensive against the Allen Starfield.

• Roy discovered hidden Small Dimensional Beacon Locator Components in a laboratory instrument and warned Legatus that mages might use them to return.
• Roy and Legatus hunted Salenos, exposed his decoy clones, and Roy killed him by cursing his true body with a Curse Puppet.
• Roy proposed replacing native grassroots leaders with vending-machine-like Alchemical Creations and devices for distributing promises and shaping public opinion.
• Two years later, Roy and Legatus reported their progress to Akhenning, who praised the Skinner Box system and said the Alliance planned a Proactive Offensive against the Allen Starfield.
• Akhenning offered Roy and Legatus the chance to lead an Expeditionary Force, and both agreed to develop Yudakara and prepare its forces.

Roy expanded his alchemy, Slice Avatar system, and governing plans while preparing Yudakara and the Alagi World for a future war. After years of development, the Alliance formally requisitioned Roy and Legatus to form an expeditionary force for the campaign against the Allen Starfield, supplying it at their own expense.

• Roy ordered Riel to train the Matan Apostles for real combat and establish an Apprentice Apostle force while planning to stockpile war supplies.
• After six years of growth, Roy created a new Level 2 Slice Avatar using a Feathered Serpent God bloodline body and tested it by killing Dika and the Vulture Gang in Pine Wood Town.
• Roy learned that Dika's gang had maintained local order under Hodien and planned to expand the Skinner Box's governing system to gain the World Will's recognition.

• Roy and Legatus reported their forces and preparations to Akhenning, who ordered them to form an Expeditionary Force for the Allen Starfield campaign and provide their own supplies.

Roy prepared the Yudakara Expeditionary Force, gathered allies and supplies from the Alagi World, and led them to invade the Allen Starfield. After establishing a forward base on Fran’s Third Moon Guard, he went out to confront an approaching Fran exploration team.

• Roy and Legatus recruited soldiers and organized the Yudakara Expeditionary Force into five legions, while the alliance approved Alagi World wizards serving in it.
• Roy refined the trade Seed of Concept into a Legendary Vending Machine and gathered Athedia, Beril, Mogos, and others for the expedition.
• An Archmage transported Roy’s group to Fran’s Third Moon Guard and gave them ten years to establish a foothold and prepare an assault on the Nard Star Gate.
• Roy’s forces built a fortress and underground base on the satellite, then learned that Fran battle armor and armed troops were approaching.
• Roy decided to eliminate the approaching exploration team and capture prisoners for information, then summoned the three-headed dragon Trichephalos through a Level 0 Slice Human Body.

Roy’s forces defeated the Fran people at Stratiot Base, captured a wizard-led Magic Battle Armor unit, and began studying Fran technology. Roy discovered that the armor’s energy source was Level 4 Star Antimony of Light, and he hoped the captured Fran would reveal how it was produced.

• Roy watched Trikefalos rout Fran soldiers in Biological Armor, then interrogated survivors to learn about their military bases and prepare infiltration methods.
• Furia brought Fran Biological Armor to the Outpost Camp, where Roy identified its Batalia Magic Crystals and gained Alchemy Talent progress from examining them.
• Roy sent scouts and Slice forces against Stratiot Base, where they destroyed drones and two Level 3 suits before capturing the wizard and followers inside the remaining Magic Battle Armor.
• Roy’s forces occupied Stratiot Base, and he later dismantled the captured armor to uncover its Level 4 Star Antimony of Light power source.
• Roy discussed Star Antimony’s properties with Furia and the other wizards, then ordered his people to search the base for production knowledge before interrogating the captured Arcanist.

Roy repaired and modified the captured Magic Battle Armor, recruited Drifa to train pilots, and discovered a natural Blue Salt deposit that awakened his Silver-tier Sulfur-Mercury Salt Theory talent. As the campaign against Fran continued, he developed a Shadow Armor and decided to equip his forces with modified captured armor while seeking a path toward mass production.

• Roy reassured Drifa, reunited him with Ailbaal, and demonstrated that he could repair and enhance Magic Battle Armor through alchemy, persuading Drifa to help train pilots.

• Roy's researchers completed the first Replicated Battle Armor, the Shadow Armor, which he decided to use to re-equip his troops, beginning with captured armor.

Roy developed and mass-produced Shadow Armor, then led an assault on Fran with Legatus; they occupied the planet after discovering Archmage Rum had fled. Roy began consolidating Fran under the Seven Towers Alliance and creating Golden Dragon People as its new ruling class, while preparing to restore interstellar teleportation and manage the cost of his plans.

• Ronnar sold supplies and commissions at Outpost Camp as Drifa saw how Roy’s forces had expanded and captured local officials to form a puppet government.

• Drifa and Ailbaal returned to Fran and learned that Roy was turning locals into Golden Dragon People and Dragon Vein Sorcerers to establish a new ruling class.

More than a year after the conquest of Fran, Roy expanded its factories, developed Blue Salt alchemy, and built a Golden Dragon People society around bloodline research and faith. After Drifa and Ailbaal had five children and Tinas helped establish a three-tiered population, Roy gained the Bronze-grade Alchemy Intuition talent during a New Year ceremony.

• Edralil watched a Golden Dragon Person supervisor whip a Lizardman laborer, while human soldiers arrived to collect materials from the expanding factory.
• Dulok used Blue Salt to stabilize liquid hydrogen, and Roy directed Drifa to expand production and prepare resources for the front lines.

• During the Golden Dragon People’s New Year ceremony, Roy’s Alchemy Talent acquisition reached 100 percent and granted him Bronze-grade Alchemy Intuition.

Roy used his new Alchemy Intuition to reduce failures, recruited Fran natives into a Battle Armor Unit, and created a faith-powered Golden Dragon People golem. As the attack on the Nard Star Gate approached, Grand Archmage Marshal arrived above Fran, and Roy and his allies prepared to greet him.

• Roy discovered that his Mystic Side intuition let him foresee alchemy failures, helping him save materials by resting or abandoning doomed attempts.
• Roy persuaded Legatus to recruit Fran natives into the Battle Armor Unit, and Edralil signed up after learning military service could earn points toward becoming a Golden Dragon Person.
• Roy and Legatus analyzed how the Golden Dragon People helped the wizards control Fran, while Edralil became a candidate for the guards and possible transformation.

• Grand Archmage Marshal appeared above Fran and plunged the planet into darkness, prompting Roy and the others to fly up or gather on rooftops to pay their respects.

Roy and Legatus led the Alliance expedition to the Nard Star Gate, where the Allen defenders’ War Fortress stalled their advance with nullification barriers, battlefield-sealing spells, and elemental armies. After months of fighting without a breakthrough, the enemy received new reinforcements, including Thornwood Demons.

• Roy received the Abomination Golem secret art as a reward for conquering Fran, and Marshal ordered him to capture the Nard Star Gate.
• Roy handed Fran’s defense to Damanifei, then led the expeditionary force through a teleportation array to the star gate.
• The Alliance troops broke the War Fortress’s Magic Nullification Domain, but its defenders trapped and destroyed more than a thousand soldiers behind a vast Force Wall Spell.
• Roy and Legatus struggled to counter the fortress’s continuous supply of sky origin energy and its elemental armies, while reconnaissance confirmed an Otherworld Gate behind the fortress.
• After months of stalemate, Roy and Legatus learned that a new enemy force had arrived, including gray-black Thornwood Demons.

Roy devised a plan to use faith in the King of Terror to awaken a disguised Seed of Abomination Golem inside the enemy War Fortress. After the enemy salvaged the golem from the battlefield, Roy’s forces kept up their attacks, and the golem began to gather fear from the battlefield.

• Roy concluded that faith could overcome the enemy fortress’s advantage and carved a disguised Seed of Abomination Golem modeled on Lord Marechal’s manifestation.
• Roy and Legatus spread the King of Terror’s image across Fran, prompting Lizardmen to form competing beliefs under the shared name.
• Archmage Rum and Archmage Graya received reports of the statues, but chose to monitor them while the War Fortress repelled another attack.
• The Allen people recovered Roy’s damaged golem from the battlefield and brought it into the War Fortress.
• Edralil’s fear and distress during battle were transmitted to the golem, where an abomination began to take shape.

Roy’s Trojan strategy helped his forces breach the War Fortress after the Abomination Golem triggered divinity-level Mental Contamination inside it. After the fortress surrendered, Roy sealed off the mutated warehouse and learned that the expedition had captured valuable equipment and the Fortress Spirit.

• Faith Power and the Fran soldiers’ fear, despair, and rage fueled the Abomination Golem, whose awakening caused hallucinations and madness throughout the War Fortress.
• Roy mobilized the Wizard Expeditionary Force, broke through the fortress gate, and led his troops into the stronghold.
• Roy and his allies defeated Archmage Graya and captured Archmage Rum, ending the fortress’s organized resistance.

• Legatus reported that the expedition had captured four Level 3 Magic Battle Armors, valuable materials, and the War Fortress’s undestroyed Fortress Spirit, which Roy went to inspect.

After the Star Gate Campaign ended, Roy investigated the contaminated Fortress Spirit, divided the spoils with Legatus, and received permission to plunder freely in the Central Starfield. Using knowledge gained from the campaign and resources from Grand Archmage Marshal, he created a Level 5 Magic Diamond Marble and began testing its destructive potential.

• Roy appraised the captured Fortress Spirit, discovered that fear had mutated its soul, and gained knowledge for creating Fortress Spirits.
• Roy and Legatus divided the War Fortress’s supplies, equipment, and prisoners, while their forces destroyed the Otherworld Gate and ended the Star Gate Campaign.
• Roy ordered Auger’s team to stop exploring the War Fortress after contamination spread through its warehouses and began affecting explorers.

• Roy used the Divine Power Crystals and accumulated Wish Crystals to create a Level 5 Magic Diamond Marble, then tested it by smashing buildings and piercing Level 3 Enchanted Alloy.

Roy investigated wizard prisoners and wounded soldiers in Fran who had developed Soul Mutations after Abomination contamination, then recognized Edralil’s unusual condition as a heroic-spirit soul. He promoted Edralil, arranged for his soul to be transferred into a Soul Stone, and gained insight into Soulology and the creation of a god.

• Furia reclaimed Roy’s Magic Diamond Marble from Domi as Roy outlined plans for standardized Apostle Armor production and received a report of Soul Mutations in Balagond’s hospital.
• Roy returned to Fran, organized the Apostle Armor production effort with Drifa and Damanifei, and inspected contaminated patients whose symptoms included fear, distorted memories, and mental damage.
• Roy identified Edralil as an exception whose soul had been torn apart in a way that removed fear, leaving him with a pure, heroic-spirit soul.
• Roy ordered Edralil promoted to Golden Dragon People and given a Dragon Vein Sorcerer potion, and Edralil later became a celebrated hero of the Star Gate Campaign.
• Roy extracted Edralil’s soul into an Enchanted Diamond, then returned it to his body, producing a Level 3 Soul Stone and revealing a soul composition with 50 percent divinity.
