The Shinobi World’s powerhouses held back the eight Demon Gods as more demons poured out of Hades, while Falmart World faced an invasion by giant Insect Beasts. Imu learned of the invasion and suspected the God of Void had unleashed it to force him to close the Star Gate, but he refused to abandon its energy extraction.

Meanwhile, Imu awakened the Crimson Black Dragon on Lava Island and froze it mid-charge, planning to restore its reason and make it his familiar.
