Chapter Summaries

Xu Yue joined K and J in New York to protect Sata's Light and prevent T from alerting the Bug Beast while they waited for Ka to secure a superweapon. The group planned to bait T with the real Sata's Light, leaving J facing Sata's eventual departure after the mission.

• Xu Yue collected his points, reassured the bald agent, and left with Kishimoto Megumi and Leija.
• Ka explained that Sata's Light could not defeat the Bug Beast and planned to invite Ugly Monster Vanges of the Jababiya Royal Family to bring a superweapon.
• Xu Yue traveled to New York and met K and J, who planned to make T believe he could obtain Sata's Light without letting him summon the Bug Beast.
• Xu Yue warned that T would recognize a fake, so K agreed to use the real Sata's Light and revealed he had restored his memories.
• K said Sata's Light would return to her civilization after the mission, and Xu Yue noted she had likely agreed to help because of J.

Agent H helped K’s group feed T carefully staged intelligence about Sata’s Light, drawing out an attack while keeping T unaware of their plan. When two attackers arrived at the pizza shop, Xu Yue recognized them as Dai Adam people and stepped forward to confront them.

• Agent H met Xu Yue’s group and agreed to pass T genuine but carefully timed information about Sata’s Light.
• H staged a chance encounter with the Black female waitress at the pizza shop, then persuaded T to assign him as Sata’s Light’s personal guard.
• K’s group predicted that T would use alien criminals and decided not to expose the full strength of their defenses.
• Three days later, two attackers disguised as renovation workers arrived at the pizza shop and triggered the alien detection alarm.
• The attackers ignored the group’s weapons because attacks passed through their bodies, and K identified them as Dai Adam people working for the Bug Beast.
• Xu Yue stopped everyone from shooting, removed his coat, and prepared to fight the attackers himself.

Xu Yue confronted two Dai Adam resistance fighters trying to seize Sata's Light, using his Reinforcement Suit and martial arts to injure both despite their Quantum abilities. As one fighter kept Xu Yue occupied, the other pushed past MIB agents and reached Kishimoto Megumi and Leija, who revealed their own Reinforcement Suits to protect the girl carrying Sata's Light.

• Xu Yue walked toward the Dai Adam twins after the others stopped firing, and one twin rushed him alongside his brother.
• Xu Yue punched one twin through a pizza shop's glass wall, but the fighter turned Quantum to blunt the blow.
• The second twin attacked Xu Yue from behind, and Xu Yue used his momentum to twist him into a pretzel before he escaped fatal injury through a Quantum transformation.
• The twins decided one would keep Xu Yue occupied while the other went after Sata's Light.
• Dai Adam No. 2 defeated J, K, and H, then faced Kishimoto Megumi and Leija as they revealed their Reinforcement Suits to defend the girl carrying Sata's Light.

Xu Yue and K used the Black Orb Organization to alert Boss Z that the Bug Beast still threatened Earth. The Black Ball then assigned Xu Yue, Leija, and Kishimoto Megumi an exclusive mission, teleporting only the three of them.

• Agent K led the group in a retreat from the Dai Adam people while they escorted Lola, Sata's Light, away from New York.
• Agent H told Boss T that MIB headquarters was unsafe, and Boss T arranged support as the group fled across the United States with the Dai Adam people in pursuit.
• Boss T ordered the group to take Lola to Europe, where he promised comprehensive protection, and they agreed to continue the journey.
• Xu Yue told Agent K to send Boss Z an encrypted message about the Bug Beast's threat to Earth.
• The Black Ball teleported Xu Yue, Leija, and Kishimoto Megumi alone and announced that they had received an exclusive mission.

Agent T betrayed the MIB team and opened the Eiffel Wormhole to summon the Bug Beast, while Xu Yue and the others raced to stop him with a star-destroying weapon. The wormhole opened, and a monstrous creature began forcing its way through.

• Agent T brought Lola to a safe house in Europe, then revealed his Bug People form, killed his accompanying subordinates, and took her to the Eiffel Tower.
• Xu Yue, Kishimoto Megumi, and Leija met Ugly Monster, who entrusted Xu Yue with a star-destroying weapon.
• Xu Yue transformed the crystal into a firearm for Leija and told her to shoot into the wormhole when he gave the command.
• Xu Yue and his companions joined K, H, and J at the Eiffel Tower, where T held Lola and prepared to summon his master.
• T opened the Eiffel Wormhole, and a huge monster began reaching through the passage.

Xu Yue and Leija destroyed the wormhole and stopped the Bug Beast from reaching Earth. Elsewhere, the surviving Reincarnators earned points and wondered why Xu Yue and his companions had not appeared.

• Agent T threatened the group, but Xu Yue struck him hard and then cut him apart with his Battle Blade.
• The Bug Beast began reaching through the wormhole, and Agent T's scattered remains started to reassemble.
• Xu Yue called for Leija, who fired a powerful beam that annihilated the wormhole, the Bug Beast's feeler, and Agent T's remains.
• The wormhole collapsed, ending the threat to Earth.
• Elsewhere, the bald agent and other Reincarnators celebrated earning points, while they wondered what had happened to Xu Yue and his companions.
• Nishi Jōichirō was the only original native participant still present.

After learning that Kurono had disappeared, Xu Yue discovered that the Black Orb Squad had suffered heavy losses and that Nishi Jōichirō had revived Kato, erasing his memories. Meanwhile, Reincarnators celebrated their successful mission as D2 Supervisor positioned himself as a powerful figure eager to meet Xu Yue.

• Xu Yue asked Ka about Kurono and learned that most of the Black Orb Squad had died in its last mission.
• Nishi Jōichirō used his hundred points to revive Kato, then erased Kato's memories so he could return to ordinary life.
• Kato remained bound to the Black Ball and was likely to be drawn into another mission.
• The Reincarnators celebrated their profitable mission, and the bald agent praised D2 Supervisor for his planning.
• D2 Supervisor expressed interest in meeting Xu Yue and accepted the group's praise for his supposed talent scouting.

After Kato died again while trying to stop a subway attacker, he returned to the Black Ball Room with his memories erased. Xu Yue reunited with Nishi Jōichirō, confronted the newly arrived D2 Supervisor, and began explaining the truth to Kato as the Reincarnators discussed using the mission to gain another Rebirth Authority.

• Kato celebrated his younger brother’s birthday by buying a cake, then ran toward a subway station attack and was stabbed thirty-six times by the assailant.
• Xu Yue appeared in the Black Ball Room with Leija and Kishimoto Megumi and apologized to Nishi Jōichirō for missing the previous mission.
• The D2 Supervisor introduced himself to Xu Yue, but Xu Yue only nodded instead of shaking his offered hand.
• Kato was 3D-printed into the room again, confused because his memories of the Black Ball Room had been erased after his previous resurrection.
• Xu Yue began telling Kato the truth, while the Reincarnators discussed gaining enough mission points for another Rebirth Authority.

Xu Yue and the Reincarnators entered the Oni Star People mission as the Nura Clan unleashed a Night Parade of a Hundred Demons across Tokyo. As MIB scrambled to respond, the Reincarnators and Osaka Team fought the yokai side by side, each startled by the other squad’s strength.

• Xu Yue recognized the Oni Star People mission and warned that the Nura Clan was an extraordinarily powerful enemy.
• The Nura Clan launched a citywide slaughter to gather blood food and prepare for an approaching threat, prompting MIB to activate its emergency plan and summon the Black Orb Squad.
• Xu Yue killed a Natto Kozo and led the Reincarnators into formation to hunt the weaker yokai for points.
• The Reincarnators discovered another Black Orb Squad fighting nearby, equipped with Gravity Guns, motorcycles, and Battle Blades.
• The Osaka Team saw the Reincarnators’ strength and wondered whether they were the supposedly inept Tokyo Team.

The Reincarnators and the Osaka Team formed a temporary alliance with MIB to suppress the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons in Tokyo. As the demons were steadily eliminated, the Reincarnators surpassed one hundred points and secured a chance to leave the Punishment mission.

• Muroya Nobuo approached the Reincarnators, and both squads agreed to support each other and divide up the hunting areas.
• MIB reinforcements joined the fight, helping the squads contain the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons around Tokyo Tower.
• Xu Yue rescued Yamashiro An and Glasses, then sent Yamashiro An with himself and assigned Glasses to Kato and Nishi Jōichirō.
• Okahachiro piloted his mech to kill a massive bull demon, while the Black Orb Squad and MIB teams cleared out the remaining demons.
• The Reincarnators passed one hundred points and gained a guaranteed chance to leave the Punishment mission.

After the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons was nearly wiped out, the Nura Clan and Karasu Tengu revealed themselves as the next threats. Xu Yue killed the Karasu Tengu after it adapted to the group’s attacks, and the Nura Clan approached while hinting that a blood sacrifice had been part of his plan.

• Yamashiro An asked Xu Yue and his companions if she and her son could move in with them, while Xu Yue noticed the Nura Clan and Karasu Tengu watching from Tokyo Tower.
• The D2 Supervisor and the Osaka Team exchanged thanks with the MIB agents as the cleanup and memory erasures continued.
• The Karasu Tengu descended on the MIB agents, killing several, and the Reincarnators and Osaka Team attacked it together.
• Okahachiro warned that the Karasu Tengu was adapting to their attacks, but Xu Yue beheaded it and took the kill before the others could claim its points.
• The Nura Clan approached, said the blood sacrifice had gone as expected, and evaded a hidden shot from a Reincarnator.

The Nura Clan revealed that he had been cultivating the punishment world and intended to profit by preventing the Reincarnators from clearing it. He overwhelmed the D2 Supervisor and drew the other Reincarnators into a desperate fight, while Xu Yue recognized that the Nura Clan was taking his share of the rewards.

• The Nura Clan explained that he had been managing the world as a potential sanctuary and saw the Reincarnators’ spending as an opportunity to extract more benefits.
• The D2 Supervisor charged the Nura Clan, who dodged his blade and then split into four figures to beat him down.
• The other Reincarnators rushed in to claim the kill, and several fought the Nura Clans in a chaotic melee.
• Xu Yue assessed the Nura Clan’s strength and realized he was taking the profits that Xu Yue had expected to receive.
• The Reincarnators struggled to defeat the Nura Clan even after buying temporary enhancements, and Agent C4 and the D2 Supervisor urged them to fight harder in exchange for rewards and under threat.

The Nura Clan survived the Reincarnators’ attack by transforming into stronger forms, while D2 Supervisor repeatedly tried to claim the kills and avoid paying what he had promised. As the battle escalated and the Reincarnators ran low on resources, the Nura Clan pressured them to make Xu Yue fight at full strength.

• D2 Supervisor killed the Nura Clan’s first form, but a stronger, bald form emerged from the corpse, forcing him to bargain with the Reincarnators and Xu Yue for help.
• The Reincarnators attacked the transformed Nura Clan as the Osaka Team watched, and Okahachiro admitted that the enemy and his opponents were both formidable.
• The Nura Clan targeted Xu Yue, but Xu Yue redirected his attack toward D2 Supervisor so the Supervisor could claim the kill under their agreement.
• The Nura Clan revived again with bone spikes, leaving the Reincarnators alarmed and short on resources.
• The Nura Clan urged the Reincarnators to make Xu Yue reveal his full strength, and they turned to him for help.

Xu Yue persuaded the Reincarnators to keep fighting by promising to join them if they found a way to kill the resurrecting Nura Clan. Okahachiro identified a weakness, but the Nura Clan had deliberately led them toward his trap.

• Xu Yue told the Reincarnators he might help secure the kill if they gave their full effort and found a way to defeat the Nura Clan.
• The Nura Clan listened to their discussion and welcomed the chance to profit from the fight, confident he understood Okahachiro's abilities.
• After observing the Nura Clan's wounds and recovery, Okahachiro concluded that unexpected attacks could inflict lasting damage and might prevent resurrection.
• The Reincarnators renewed their determination, and Xu Yue agreed to fight alongside them if they created an opening.
• The Nura Clan acted like an honest farmer while thinking that the Reincarnators had fallen into his trap.

Xu Yue let Nura Clan and the Reincarnators misunderstand his intentions while he finished drawing a portrait and prepared a blood array. The chapter ended as he placed the portrait in the array and called for someone to wake up and get to work.

• The Reincarnators spent their resources to empower themselves, and D2 Supervisor urged Xu Yue to join the fight against Nura Clan.
• Xu Yue revealed that he knew Nura Clan was an Upper Realm Authority, prompting Nura Clan to drop his disguise and promise to spare Xu Yue.
• D2 Supervisor and the other Reincarnators begged Nura Clan for mercy, but Nura Clan dismissed them and offered Agent C4 a chance to serve him.
• Agent C4 refused Nura Clan's offer because he already served Xu Yue's subordinate, and D2 Supervisor realized Agent C4 was connected to the FBI Director.
• Xu Yue finished a portrait of Lady Amaterasu, traced a pattern in blood, placed the portrait in its center, and called for someone to wake up.

Xu Yue summoned a tiny manifestation of Amaterasu and used her authority to make Slippery Pimp surrender his gains and obey him. After the Reincarnators and Osaka Team were wiped out, Xu Yue arranged for Leija and the others to strike Slippery Pimp with a surprise attack.

• Xu Yue used a portrait and a crude formation to summon a stick-figure manifestation of Amaterasu.
• Amaterasu recognized Slippery Pimp and ordered him to follow Xu Yue’s demands.
• Slippery Pimp killed the Reincarnators and Osaka Team, sparing only Agent C4 among the Reincarnators.
• Xu Yue met with Leija, Kishimoto Megumi, Yamashiro An, Kato, and Nishi Jōichirō to plan a long-range surprise attack on Slippery Pimp while Xu Yue restrained him.

Xu Yue completed his Punishment mission by merging with his copied self and becoming horizontally unique across the Myriad Heavens and Worlds, though he recognized that his control lagged behind his power and still depended on the Reincarnation Space. Meanwhile, the Federation President turned from losing his loyal aide to planning to use mediation in Europe to expand the Federation’s influence.

• Xu Yue had Nura Clan help him hold still so Kishimoto Megumi could shoot him, and Nura Clan killed Xu Yue before dying himself.
• Xu Yue revived beside his copied self, and their memories, sensations, and wills merged, making him horizontally unique across the Myriad Heavens and Worlds.
• Xu Yue realized that his power still depended on the Reincarnation Space and that his realm and control lagged behind its limits, then returned after completing the Punishment mission.
• The Federation President lamented that the Reincarnation Space had taken his loyal aide, who had been close to becoming an Elite Intruder.
• The President decided the Federation would mediate the European conflict and use the negotiations to extract benefits from both sides.

The US Federal gained enough influence to mediate Europe’s conflicts as Xu Yue’s forces consolidated power within the Federation. Xu Yue prepared for a dangerous mission to integrate his power and realm, choosing Shading the Heavens as his destination and postponing Reverend Insanity until he could better defend himself.

• The US Federal attracted European delegations by offering to mediate the conflict, while its factions united behind President Hoover.
• The Fujiwara Family Head reported that Xu Yue’s people had taken control of FBI leadership and placed moles in the IRS.
• Xu Yue ordered his allies to deepen the states’ conflicts and have financial conglomerates stir up trouble.
• Xu Yue explained that he sought to integrate his past, present, and future selves and selected Perfect World, Shading the Heavens, and Reverend Insanity as potential mission worlds.
• Xu Yue judged Reverend Insanity too dangerous until his realm matched his power, and rejected Perfect World because of its ominous entities.
• Xu Yue chose Shading the Heavens for his next mission, where he expected to integrate his power through Dao Slaying.

Xu Yue spread rumors about treasures and techniques in the Emperor World to draw powerful factions into exploring it. Convinced by Tesla and his advisers that the world's strongest experts were manageable, President Hoover approved the expedition.

• Xu Yue chose to attract attention to the Emperor World by spreading rumors about Zhuo Feng's Jie Character Secret and powerful artifacts.
• News about the Emperor World prompted factions to consider an expedition for resources and combat power.
• President Hoover asked Tesla whether the Federation could reproduce its previous success in another world, and Tesla warned that the earlier mission had depended on an unlikely intervention by the Feathered Serpent God.
• Tesla argued that the Emperor World's power levels were already understood and could be challenged with military formations.
• Advisers reassured Hoover that Great Emperors were unlikely to remain and that their tomb defenses could be overcome, convincing him the expedition was worth attempting.

Churchill, Brown, and Dowding responded to the US Federal’s new strength by seeking an alliance with France, while Xu Yue entered the world of Shrouding the Heavens. The Reincarnation Space gave Xu Yue the identity of a sleeping Burial King, and he surveyed the history of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands and its connected eras.

• Churchill, Brown, and Dowding discussed the US Federal’s rise and decided to contact France while watching the US Federal’s experts.
• Xu Yue entered the mission, crossed the Sea of Boundaries, and was separated slightly from the other Reincarnators.
• Xu Yue realized the Reincarnation Space had assigned him the identity of a Burial King who had slept for an unknown time.
• Xu Yue considered how the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands had been devastated by the Foreign Domain’s Immortal Kings, leaving it unable to produce immortal-level figures.
