Hekate learned that Corpse of Space-Time, Klenomat, was using flesh and blood to anchor the current era and infiltrate hers, so she cursed it from afar. Klenomat self-destructed before she could kill it, and Hekate considered awakening the Abyss’s ancient evil gods to turn them against its other inhabitants.

• The Star Gods told Hekate that a Manifested Demon God named Atrastea had been awakened to kill her, and that the Abyss had identified Corpse of Space-Time, Klenomat, as the evil god collecting flesh and blood to infiltrate her era.
• Hekate summoned an avatar and cast a Flame Curse on Klenomat, combining Death, Destruction, and Curse powers to prevent it from escaping or countering the attack.
• After about twenty seconds of being burned, Klenomat self-destructed and vowed that the era would still be destroyed for the Abyss.
• Hekate sensed Klenomat’s disappearance, realized the curse had not lasted long enough to kill it, and wondered whether she could awaken the ancient evil gods or burn Atrastea.

Hekate set out to make the Abyss chaotic by repeatedly calling Evil Gods out so they would self-destruct, hoping to keep them from plotting against her era. After fifteen ordinary Evil Gods exploded without waking the mad ancient ones, she decided she would have to burn the Manifested Demon God.

• Hekate learned that awakening the ancient Evil Gods would cause chaos in the Abyss, but would not let them enter the current era unless it was contaminated.
• Hekate arranged for the Star Gods and their companions to hide before she began her plan.

• The hidden Star Gods and an Evil God endured several waves of explosions that blasted away the fog and scattered Evil God fragments.
• Hekate heard that no mad Evil Gods had awakened, so she resolved to burn the Manifested Demon God.

Hekate’s Flame Curse woke the Manifested Demon God, which rampaged through the Abyss and kept it from corrupting the Outer Universe for the time being. A week later, Hekate gave Betty a necklace from her childhood, then resumed blowing up Evil Gods in the Abyss.

• Hekate and her clone cast the Three Thousand Blazing Flame Curse on the Manifested Demon God, waking it despite the Sleeping Evil God’s efforts to keep it asleep.
• The Manifested Demon God beat the Sleeping Evil God apart, then flew off and rampaged through the Abyss.
• Hekate stopped the curse after half an hour when she confirmed the Manifested Demon God showed no apparent damage from the Death Rule.

• Hekate resumed her daily tasks and set off Evil God firecrackers in the Abyss, using the Star Gods’ reports to target them.

Hekate took Selena to visit the Aether Civilization, first showing her the Light Cone Federation after destroying its warships. At Aether City, Selena met Ah Hu, whose jealousy surfaced as she gave Hekate another spatial ring.

• After Star reported that the Light Cone Federation was resuming its expansion, Hekate burned the Federation's deployed warships.
• Hekate brought Selena above the Light Cone Federation and explained that it was not the Aether Civilization.
• Hekate took Selena to Aether City, where a guard recognized her and notified Ah Hu.
• Ah Hu greeted Hekate, glared at Selena, and learned that she was the Creation Witch Selena.
• Ah Hu gave Hekate a ring containing a thousand Magic Stones, then slipped a spatial ring onto Hekate's ring finger when she said she did not need another one.

Hekate toured the Aether Civilization and agreed to help locate Abyss Monsters, asking that powerful ones be saved to feed her Life Tree. After more than a month of Magic Stones accelerated the Star of Magic’s growth, she continued igniting Abyss targets until a voice from the Death Star announced an impending level-up.

• The Heart Witch showed Hekate and Selena the Infinite Corridor and Star Law Corridor, where the Starlight Sage asked Hekate to take charge, but Hekate refused.
• Xilo asked Hekate to locate Abyss Monsters spreading contamination, and Hekate provided their locations in exchange for keeping those above Transcendent Level alive for the Life Tree.
• Hekate explained that she had been feeding Abyss Monsters to her Life Tree for over half a year, leaving Xilo and Ah Hu stunned.
• After Hekate brought back a thousand Magic Stones, increased Magic Concentration helped several 10-star Gods of Magic reach Creation Level and join Creation Ash.
• Hekate ignited Abyss Evil Gods, wondered why one target took a hundred seconds to disappear, and heard a voice from the Death Star say it was about to level up.

Hekate discovered Death Star had doubled the strength of its Fated Death ability after she killed an Evil God, then traveled to the Aether Civilization to inspect captured Abyss Monsters. The birth of a dangerous Monster Baby left Ah Hu trying to read its memories.

• Death Star upgraded after Hekate killed an Evil God, raising Fated Death from 1% to 2% maximum-health reduction per attack.

She cleared the seaweed with the Power of Terminus, which strengthened her Crown of Termination, and learned the Star knew little about its origins.

• Void Star sent Hekate into Black Tide Civilization territory, where she landed on a lifeless planet covered in black seaweed.
• Hekate used Sacred Purification on the planet, causing the seaweed to thrash before it formed symbols warning that the Tide of Termination would destroy the world.
• Hekate tried grilling the seaweed, then used the Power of Terminus and melted it away, while gray-black auras flowed into her Crown of Termination.
• Hekate used Star Speech to communicate with the restored Star, which celebrated seeing the light again and said monsters had left the power that turned into the seaweed.

• Hekate told the Black Tide Lord that the Abyss was exploiting the destruction to weaken the Mother World and announced that she had come to destroy the Abyss.

Hekate gathered Wish Power, monitored developments across the universe, and helped the Black Tide Civilization hunt Abyss Monsters while feeding kelp to the Crown of Termination. After four months, she became an 8-star Star Lord God, though the Crown showed no changes.

Hekate gained a new Star Resonance ability from Curse Shackles Star that permanently sealed enemies’ magic power through repeated curses. She tested it on the Abyss’s evil gods and waited to learn whether the growing seals could eventually prevent their self-destruction.

• Hekate drew an opportunity for Star Resonance and asked for a Star whose power could restrain enemies or stop them from self-destructing.
• Void Star introduced Curse Shackles Star, which agreed to resonate with Hekate and granted her Magic Seal Mark.
• Curse Shackles Star explained that its marks accumulated over time, persisted through death and revival, and sealed magic power more slowly against stronger enemies.
• Hekate realized that the ability could eventually hinder the Abyss’s evil gods long enough for her and her clone to kill them.
• Hekate cursed every evil god in the Abyss, and they self-destructed before her Death Power took effect; she waited to see how much the new marks had weakened them.

The Space-Time Evil God traveled to the sixth layer of the Abyss to seek help after Hekate’s curses increasingly sealed Evil Gods’ magic power and slowed their self-destruction. There, they warned Mother of Illogic and Bond of Contract about the mage beyond the Abyss, while the ancient Evil Gods struggled to remember how much time had passed.

• Bond of Contract explained that the current era was the Thirty-Third, and Mother of Illogic wondered how many years it had lasted.

The Illogic Evil God trapped the Space-Time Evil God during Hekate’s curse, causing Him to burn to death. Hekate finished burning the Evil Gods she had found, then returned to her daily life and joined Natasha and Sybill for breakfast.

• The Illogic Evil God restrained the Space-Time Evil God as Hekate’s Three Thousand Blazing Flame Curse descended, and the Space-Time Evil God burned to death.
• Hekate realized the Space-Time Evil God’s death had not stopped Abyss lifeforms from appearing, so she followed Star’s guidance and killed them before visiting the Aether Civilization.
• Hekate fed the Star Essence Tree and, after nearly another month, burned to death the Evil Gods she had gathered, then canceled that daily task until the Star Gods found more targets.
• Hekate slept through the night, then woke to find Natasha preparing breakfast while Sybill circled the kitchen in loli form.
• Hekate joined Natasha and Sybill for breakfast, and Natasha said she had made the meal to reminisce about her old life.

Hekate listened to Star News while completing her daily tasks, learned about a new Time Witch and several other developments, then joined Verz for fishing. The chapter left Hekate planning to visit Elisa after she finished her tasks.
