Hisada Asuka arrived to help Russell’s side, while Su Yang confronted Wixie, the real Pied Piper of Hamelin. Su Yang rejected Wixie’s offer to join the Demon Lords, and Wixie prepared to attack him with all his power.

• Hisada Asuka arrived atop a fiery red giant and had it smash the White Giant’s arm with one punch.

• Wixie invited Su Yang to join the Demon Lords, but Su Yang refused and condemned their disregard for human lives.
• Wixie gathered pale-blue currents around himself and prepared to unleash his full power against Su Yang.

Su Yang and the girls fought the powerful enemy while giving Kasukabe Yō and Hisada Asuka room to grow. Asuka’s red Titan Dean defeated the Shuoteloms and captured Lating, leaving Asuka eager to become stronger.

• Su Yang clashed with the enemy as Kasukabe Yō struggled through the battlefield and searched for a way to help her companions.
• Hisada Asuka confronted Lating with Dean, and Lating threatened to settle their previous score.

• Dean defeated the remaining Shuoteloms and seized Lating, who broke free with injuries.
• Asuka stopped Dean from attacking further and challenged Lating to a competition, realizing she needed to grow stronger.

Asuka gave Lating another chance to challenge her Gift of domination by playing her flute against Dean, while Black Rabbit and Sandora continued holding Pest at bay. The fight remained unresolved as Pest confirmed that her true identity belonged to the category of gods.

• Asuka invited Lating to use her flute to charm Dean, confident that her strengthened Gift would keep him under control.
• Lating accepted the challenge and began playing her tune against Asuka.
• Black Rabbit and Sandora fought Pest together, using fire and lightning to keep her occupied despite her powerful defenses.
• As Black Rabbit and Sandora grew exhausted, they focused on delaying Pest rather than defeating her.
• Black Rabbit asked Pest whether her true identity belonged to the category of gods, and Pest confirmed it.

Pest revealed that she embodied the resentment of eighty million Black Death victims while Su Yang fought Wixie and Asuka overcame Lating’s flute. Asuka sent Dean toward Pest as the battle against the demon lord continued, while Su Yang still dominated Wixie.

• Pest explained that she represented the eighty million victims of the Black Death and claimed authority to spread calamity in revenge on the sun.
• Su Yang urged Wixie to stop holding back as he effortlessly defended against Wixie’s attacks.
• Asuka resisted Lating’s flute, and Lating acknowledged defeat before dissolving into light.
• Asuka ordered Dean to join Black Rabbit and Sandora in fighting Pest.
• Su Yang continued to overpower Wixie in their uneven battle.

Su Yang defeated Wixie, who dissipated after his summoning staff shattered, while reflecting that he no longer depended on the Sign-in System. Pest then unleashed lethal black-red mist across the area, and Sandora grew furious as ordinary people and her citizens fell victim to it.

• Wixie questioned Su Yang's strength, then collapsed as his staff shattered and his body began to dissipate.
• Su Yang considered how he had grown beyond relying on the Sign-in System and felt little after Wixie vanished.

• Sandora became enraged at Pest for attacking her citizens, and Black Rabbit worried that Sandora would lose control.

Black Rabbit and Sandora faced Pest’s attack while Kasukabe Yō tried to protect a fleeing child. Su Yang arrived, rescued them, and let Black Rabbit prepare a plan as Pest turned her attention toward him.

• Black Rabbit tried to restrain Sandora, but both turned toward a child fleeing from Pest’s spreading black-red fog.

• Black Rabbit admitted she had been wrong and drew an important card for her plan against Pest.
• Pest tried to attack the group, but Su Yang detonated a water sphere and forced her to reassess his hidden strength.

Su Yang, Sandora, and Black Rabbit fought Pest while Black Rabbit and Asuka prepared the next phase of their plan. Pest remained far stronger than the others, and the chapter ended as Black Rabbit anticipated Pest’s next attack.

• Su Yang caught Pest’s kick, then sent her crashing into a tower without seriously injuring her.
• Sandora attacked Pest with fireballs while drawing her attention away from the others.
• Asuka considered how to use the tawny card in the plan Black Rabbit was arranging.
• Black Rabbit joined Sandora and struck Pest with her golden demon-subduing vajra, but it barely affected her.
• Pest unleashed black mist, and Black Rabbit prepared to evade it by reading Pest’s movements.

Su Yang and Black Rabbit faced Pest as she unleashed a devastating attack, but Black Rabbit used her card to transport everyone to the Moon World Shrine. There, Hameln's Grimoire could no longer support Pest's Wind of Death, and Black Rabbit's home-ground power disrupted Pest's attack.

• Pest outmaneuvered Black Rabbit until Su Yang intervened with water controlled through his clone, forcing Pest back and scattering her black mist.
• Pest decided to stop holding back and gathered a massive black-red current above the city, threatening to destroy it.
• Black Rabbit activated her card and teleported everyone to the moon, where she said the Moon Rabbit's plan could be carried out.
• Pest realized that Hameln's Grimoire could no longer exert its influence at the Moon World Shrine, so her large-scale Wind of Death lost its medium.
• Black Rabbit unfolded her card, whose golden image disrupted Pest's attack and gave Black Rabbit an advantage on her home ground.

Su Yang overwhelmed Pest with water manipulation while Black Rabbit’s sunlight weakened her, leaving the Demon King unable to fight back. Asuka then summoned the Spear of Indra, poised to strike Pest as the battle reached its turning point.

• Black Rabbit’s sunlight suppressed Pest’s abilities, and Su Yang battered her with powerful water attacks.
• Pest panicked as she realized she could not defeat Su Yang and feared dying before fulfilling her ambitions.
• Su Yang told Pest she had lost, and Black Rabbit revealed Dean and Hisada Asuka hiding among the ruins.
• Hisada Asuka summoned the Spear of Indra from the card Black Rabbit had given her.

• Pest prepared to evade Dean’s golden lightning trident, confident that her speed would let her escape.
• Sandora bound Pest’s arms and legs with four Flame Rings, disrupting her movement.

• Golden light exploded around Pest in cross-shaped beams, followed by spreading energy bands and a dazzling azure sphere.

After Pest was destroyed, the survivors celebrated the end of the Demon King's Gifted Competition while White Night Yaksha organized aid and promised rewards. Asuka then visited the Great Cavern, where the spirits of Hamel discussed returning to their original era and the possible disappearance of the one hundred and thirty-first spirit.

• Su Yang and the others returned from the Moon Realm after Pest was reduced to dust, and the rescued people thanked Sandora and the Nameless Community.
• Sandora announced the victory, and White Night Yaksha ordered the wounded treated, promised rewards, and said the Birth Festival and celebration would continue.
• The Communities began repairing the damage and preparing the celebration.
• Asuka went alone to the Great Cavern, where she had previously obtained Dean, and opened the hidden door at its deepest point.
• Asuka asked whether the Grimoire of Hamel's disappearance was all right, and the spirits of the one hundred and thirty people said they could return to their original era, though the one hundred and thirty-first spirit might vanish.

Asuka learned that the spirits had to return to 1824 to build a town and accepted their gift of Mel, the 131st companion. Forty-eight hours after the Gifted Competition ended, a lively final-day banquet celebrated Sandora’s victory over a demon lord.

• Asuka invited the spirits to join her Community, but they explained that they had to return to their original era in 1824.

• Forty-eight hours after the Gifted Competition ended, people held a final-day banquet and celebrated Sandora’s victory and her attack alongside No Name.

Su Yang confronted Mandela in private and revealed that he had figured out Salamandra’s role in arranging the demon lord’s attack during Sandora’s Birth Festival. Mandela admitted Salamandra had knowingly sacrificed its own members to help Sandora gain recognition as a northern Floor Master, then defended the choice as necessary to protect the Community.

• After the festival, Mandela read a letter from Thousand Eyes asking whether the Divine Iron had been given to the children.
• Su Yang appeared behind Mandela and questioned what bad thing Mandela had meant to do.
• Su Yang accused Sandora of luring the demon lord into the festival and explained that the suspicious exhibits made the plot easy to infer.
• Su Yang said he believed Mandela had arranged the attack to push Sandora to take up Salamandra’s burden and earn recognition as a Floor Master.
• Mandela drew his sword and admitted that everyone in Salamandra except Sandora had known about the plan, which had cost five lives.
• Mandela defended the sacrifice as a desperate effort to preserve Salamandra’s banner, name, and honor while the Community was in decline.

Su Yang secured Salamandra’s promise to aid No Name in future crises, then helped the Community begin restoring its ruined farmland. Later, he and Black Rabbit found a Daffodil Egg Flower near Tunis Falls and discussed how to make it bloom.

• Su Yang spared Mandela and arranged for Salamandra to owe No Name a favor, and Mandela swore Salamandra would come to their aid when needed.
• Mel admitted she could not restore No Name’s barren farmland on her own, but agreed to try breaking down wood and other materials into nutrients.
• Asuka summoned Dean and sent the older children to gather materials and help revive the land.
• Su Yang emerged from the river with a Linen-colored Bud and asked Black Rabbit whether it was a Daffodil Egg Flower.
• Su Yang and Black Rabbit concluded that the riverbank was the right place to find the flower and considered how to make it bloom.

Su Yang considered how to win the Gifted Competition “Flower on the Lake” by making a Daffodil Egg Flower bloom before noon. The chapter then looked back at No Name’s meeting, where the Community discussed its recent Invitation Letters and Russell’s role as leader.

• Su Yang examined the flower bud and contract, reasoning that the competition must have a special way to make the flower bloom within an hour.
• Black Rabbit told Su Yang she could not guide him during the official game, and Su Yang insisted he had not given up.
• A month after the battle with Pest, No Name’s members gathered at their base to discuss the Community’s plans.
• Black Rabbit celebrated that No Name had received three Invitation Letters and urged Russell to sit proudly at the head of the table.
• Russell prepared to explain the Community’s current situation before the members discussed the Invitation Letters.

The community reviewed its abundant reserves and the progress restoring its agricultural district, which had become sufficient to support self-sufficiency. Black Rabbit then proposed establishing a special cultivation zone in the reclaimed land.

• Lily reported that the community’s takeover of Bolsius’s assets and rewards for defeating Pest had filled its reserves.
• Black Rabbit explained that Pest’s Five-digit rank and difficult Gifted Competition made her a formidable demon lord.
• Lily reported that Mel and Dean had restored a quarter of the agricultural district’s soil, enough to prepare for food self-sufficiency.
• Asuka took pride in Mel and Dean’s work, which had helped restore the land and ease her guilt about the community’s hardships.
• Black Rabbit proposed creating a special cultivation zone in the restored agricultural district.

Leticia and Jin explained the community’s plans to attend the Dragon-Griffin Alliance’s Harvest Festival and proposed dividing attendance among the members. Su Yang suggested a competition to decide who got priority, while Black Rabbit worried that his reputation would make future Gifted Competitions difficult to enter.

• Leticia explained that the community needed seedlings and livestock and said the Dragon-Griffin Alliance had invited them to its Harvest Festival.
• Black Rabbit described the invitation’s VIP travel and lodging arrangements and the festival’s location at Number One Police Waterfall.
• Jin proposed that members take turns attending the nearly month-long festival so the community’s main force could defend its base, but Asuka and Yō refused to stay behind.
• Su Yang proposed deciding attendance priority through a competition based on battle results before the Eve Festival, and Asuka and Yō agreed to compete.
• Black Rabbit told Su Yang that his victories over formidable opponents could lead organizers to refuse him entry, while Su Yang said he mainly wanted to enjoy clearing games.

Su Yang solved Snow White’s Daffodil Egg Flower riddle by deducing that a change in water depth would make the buds bloom, but the nearby river offered no safe way to meet the conditions. He rejected Snow White’s offer and created a new channel toward the river with a powerful kick.

• Su Yang reasoned that raising the water level would make the Daffodil Egg Flower bloom on the surface.
• Snow White appeared, confirmed his answer, and reminded him that less than fifteen minutes remained.
• Snow White offered to give Su Yang a flower if he surrendered, but he refused and recalled her promise to submit to him if he solved the challenge.
• Su Yang kicked the riverbank, creating a long crack that sent water surging into a newly formed channel.

Su Yang redirected a river to create a lake, then returned with Asuka and Kasukabe Yō to the Nameless Community, where Lily reported that the orchard district had been replanted. The group’s work continued as they headed back to eat.

• Su Yang punched a huge pit in the forest and redirected the river into it, despite Snow White’s protests.
• Su Yang found Asuka and Dean clearing the ruined residential area, and the group set off back together.

• Lily told the returning group that the orchard had been replanted and she was checking the waterway to the farms.
• Everyone’s stomachs rumbled as they gathered at the Community’s main hall.

Su Yang’s Community reviewed its recent gains, including Asuka’s livestock and Yō’s order for flame-powered supplies. The group went to the Thousand Eyes shop to retrieve Su Yang’s results, where an attempt to enter a room interrupted White Night Yaksha’s encounter with Black Rabbit and Snow White.

• Lily thanked Su Yang and the others for improving the Community’s food supply before the group gathered to review their battle results.
• Asuka reported that she had acquired land and ten goats to provide milk, wool, and livestock for the Community.
• Leticia reported that Yō had won a game against Vesp and commissioned a candlestick that could provide permanent flames throughout the base.
• Su Yang said he would retrieve his own battle results, so the group headed to the Thousand Eyes branch.
• The group heard Black Rabbit and Snow White protesting White Night Yaksha’s plans and stopped outside the room.
• A lightning strike and torrent blasted White Night Yaksha through the paper door, and Su Yang caught her before throwing her to the ground.
