Gaoxin captured three of Feng Wuji’s companions, but a Sky Carrier Warship rescued Feng Wuji’s cells and escaped. After discovering the parasite controlling Dongfang Yi and helping him reach the Elephant level, Gaoxin discussed noble redemption and learned the cost and limits of a Cyberna Ring; Solomon offered one as the Elephant King Tournament prize.

• Brando challenged Ark and mocked him with a message from Six Gods about their childhood rivalry.
• Ark and Brando fought, and Ark’s attacks initially shattered Brando’s substitute and appeared to give him the advantage.
• Brando revealed that his Life Sharing Divine Power Module linked their lives, so damage to either fighter also harmed the other.
• Ark refused to surrender and self-destructed, causing a massive explosion that Saint Peter contained while preserving both fighters’ cells.

• Gaoxin attacked Brando to stop his recovery, causing their shared injuries to appear on Caesar outside the arena.

• Caesar threatened Brando by inflicting wounds on himself, but Brando worsened his own injuries and kept the link active while Gaoxin attacked him.

• Gaoxin’s dust assembled into a supercomputer-like matrix and began rebuilding his cells, prompting Brando to suspect he was an angel using a Nanite Swarm.

Gaoxin survived Brando’s attack by reconstructing his body with the Nanite Swarm, then revealed that he had learned to build its matrices himself. After Brando conceded and withdrew, Gaoxin explained how his Imaginary Partner had helped him master the technique and planned to cultivate Nanite matrices to raise his power beyond the Elephant-level limit.

• Gaoxin reconstructed his body with the Nanite Swarm after Brando destroyed it, shocking the Apostles and leading Brando to suspect Gaoxin was an Apostle who could take over human bodies.

• Gaoxin rested before entering the arena to fight Quinn, who activated twelve stages of overclocking and used his spear and Prophet Divinity to wound him repeatedly.
• Gaoxin blasted Quinn away with Scarlet Reverse Moon Slash, but Quinn answered with Dragon Spear Breath and Moon Eye, forcing Gaoxin into a seemingly unavoidable attack.
• Avatar Ark appeared as a substitute and performed a second Scarlet Reverse Moon Slash, redirecting Gaoxin’s reflected attack into Moon Eye and defeating Quinn’s predicted future.
• Gaoxin revealed that Quinn could not foresee the coordinated actions of two Dark Logics, with Avatar Ark acting from Gaoxin’s Mind Palace.

• Quinn revealed that his prophecy could summon a meteorite powerful enough to devastate the world, though he had never used such a move to harm innocent people.
• As the meteorite approached, Gaoxin and Quinn joined forces with Avatar Ark, Kid Brother, and Girl Brother to form a formation that shifted the impact and shared its force.

Her victory heightened the other factions’ fears of Taishui’s influence, prompting the Eagle King, Lion King, and their allies to demand that Lilith distribute the Taishui Brain immediately.

After Caesar abdicated and Bear King became co-ruler, Gaoxin traded for Spirit Village to bring True Person Tianxin to his side and used Prophet Divinity to learn that Eden Paradise would attack in four days with Xia Heng, Zi Chen, and others as hostages. With war looming, Gaoxin decided to strike Haiwang Port first and planned to make it believe his forces were weak.

• Caesar abdicated as Lord of the Evil Dragon Empire and installed Bear King as co-ruler, while Gaoxin concluded that Caesar was shedding the burden of the empire.
• Gaoxin traded for Spirit Village and received True Person Tianxin, who said Bear King had taken her Cyborgs and let her leave only with Tianxin Temple's core disciples.
• When Tianxin asked about Zi Chen, Dongfang Yi reported that Xia Heng, Zi Chen, Thief of the Heavens, and the others had vanished, and Gaoxin foresaw that Eden Paradise would attack in four days with them as hostages.
• Gaoxin ruled out exchanging Taishui's brain or storming Eden Paradise and decided Haiwang Port had to be destroyed first, within three days.
• Gaoxin told Bull King and Wan Kai to stay behind and guard their forces, then declared that only Diga and he would lead the campaign against Haiwang Port.

Gaoxin launched an attack on Haiwang Port and defeated its six Dragon-level fighters, including Tiger Whale O'Brian, while Diga battled Humpback Whale. Haiwang Port's forces retreated, but O'Brian resolved to gather eleven dragons and strike back, believing Gaoxin had little support.

• Gaoxin assembled his forces at the border and charged alone at Haiwang Port's six Dragon-level fighters while Diga led the ground assault.
• Gaoxin used his Three Heads and Six Arms form to overpower the six dragons, while Diga unleashed Hell Beam and battered Humpback Whale.

• O'Brian blamed Gaoxin for Seahorse's death and vowed to return with eleven dragons to kill him.

After routing Haiwang Port’s army, Diga explained how battlefield survivors grew stronger and how his own forces had once collapsed because he relied too heavily on his personal strength. Gaoxin planned to draw Haiwang Port into a decisive battle at Yamaguchi Village, where he would protect the gathered population by turning them into Radiation Users and keeping Seahorse as a last resort.

• Luo Yan reported that the army had lost over four hundred people, while twenty-five thousand enemies surrendered, and Dongfang Yi revealed that the battle had helped many fighters advance, including himself to Elephant Level.
• Diga recounted how his victories during the Chaotic Nation Era left his forces stagnant while surviving enemies grew stronger, eventually leading to his defeat and imprisonment.
• Gaoxin assigned forces to take over the Silver Tower Villages, while ordering Gaoshu and Li Shande to move local residents to Yamaguchi Village and announcing that he would handle it personally.
• Luo Yan warned that gathering more than a million people at Yamaguchi Village would expose them to deadly radiation and the fighting of powerful combatants.
• Gaoxin said he could produce enough Taishui Blood to turn the gathered people into Radiation Users, then revealed that Seahorse was recovering in a gourd and could be awakened if the battle became desperate.

With Yamaguchi Village threatened by Taishui’s advancing army and Yamaguchi Yoshio missing, Fúshé persuaded the Yakuza’s faction leaders to evacuate with their people and supplies, destroy the village, and use a nuclear bomb against Taishui’s forces. Suzuki Masagen resisted the plan and was killed, leaving Fúshé and Black Mamba to carry it out.

• After Haiwang Port’s defeat, Yakuza leaders argued over whether to retreat to Sea King Territory or hold out in Yamaguchi Village while Yamaguchi Yoshio remained missing.
• Fúshé proposed retreating and burning Yamaguchi Village, then revealed that the Yakuza had found hidden nuclear bombs beneath the village and nearby settlements.
• Fúshé persuaded Black Mamba and the other leaders to take what they could, detonate the Yakuza’s own nuclear bomb when Taishui’s army arrived, and claim responsibility to win Haiwang Port’s favor.
• Suzuki Masagen refused to accept the plan and threatened Fúshé, but Black Mamba attacked Suzuki and the others joined the fight.
• The six Elephant-level fighters overwhelmed Suzuki Masagen, smashed his head, and killed him.
