Chapter Summaries

As Taishui’s army approached Yamaguchi Village, the Yakuza looted the village and hunted its stronger residents, while Klee was unwillingly made the leader of a resistance group. Gaoxin foresaw a nuclear explosion awaiting anyone who entered the village, halted his army, and destroyed his own head to seek answers in the Yellow Springs.

• The Yakuza’s Black Hands looted Yamaguchi Village, arrested residents above R-Class, and crushed those who resisted as six Elephant Levels sealed the village.
• Klee hid in his underground shelter with Yamar and others, but they discovered his past connection to Taishui and forced him into armor as their resistance leader.
• Gaoxin arrived outside Yamaguchi Village with his army, but his vision revealed that the Yakuza planned to trigger a nuclear bomb at the Yamaguchi Family estate.
• Gaoxin stopped Luo Yan from sending troops into the village after foreseeing that any attempt to take control would trigger the explosion.
• Gaoxin said he would question the dead in the Yellow Springs, then used Atomic Breath to blast apart his own head and fell unconscious.

Gaoxin discovered that Fujiwara Tomotaka had survived by transferring his consciousness into Yamaguchi Yoshio’s Cyber Brain, then learned that Fúshé was planning to betray the Yakuza and detonate its nuclear bomb. He prepared to use Yoshio and Suzuki Masagen to undermine the Yakuza’s defenses and deal with its traitors.

• Gaoxin found Yamaguchi Yoshio’s soul and learned that Fujiwara Tomotaka had replaced Yoshio’s brain with a Cyber Brain to preserve his own consciousness.
• Gaoxin deduced that subjective consciousness, rather than a particular physical vessel or complete memories, enabled a soul to transfer, and his power of the mind expanded within the Mind Palace.
• Yoshio accused Fujiwara of protecting the Yakuza only to claim its resources and obtain an SSR-Class body, while Silver Hand confirmed Fujiwara had long conducted brain-transplant experiments.
• Gaoxin questioned the Yakuza’s dead leaders about the nuclear bomb, and Suzuki Masagen revealed that Fúshé had joined the traitors and intended to detonate it and destroy Yamaguchi Village.
• Gaoxin learned that Fúshé controlled the detonation button and asked whether Yamaguchi Nobutaka could retake the Yakuza; Yunzhong Tianyi pointed out that Yoshio and Suzuki still held useful authority.

Gaoxin rehearsed ways to stop Fúshé from detonating a nuclear bomb in Yamaguchi Village, then learned that permanent accounts could remain accessible after their owners died. He planned to test whether his duplicate could pass Silver Tower's identity checks and claim the legacies of the dead.

• Gaoxin sensed that Yakuza enforcers were considering surrender, but his rehearsal showed that Fúshé would detonate a nuclear bomb when he believed Taishui's forces had infiltrated the village.
• Gaoxin created a Yamaguchi Yoshio duplicate to confront the Yakuza's leaders, but Black Mamba exposed him as an impostor, and Taishui subdued the group.
• Black Mamba revealed that Fúshé was in the president's safe house, but a Tiger Level informant triggered another nuclear detonation, showing Gaoxin how Fúshé learned of danger.
• Gaoxin released Yoshio near Silver Tower and learned that Yoshio's permanent account and safe house access had been entrusted to Fúshé and Fujiwara Tomotaka.
• Gaoxin reasoned that his duplicate might fool Silver Tower's soul-based verification and decided to test whether it could log in as a dead account holder.

Gaoxin’s rehearsals revealed that Fúshé had already triggered the nuclear bomb and could not be stopped before it detonated. He found a way to evacuate Yamaguchi Village’s people by backing Klee as he led a growing uprising out of the village.

• Gaoxin used Yamaguchi Yoshio’s substitute body to enter the Silver Tower, reach Yoshio’s safe house, and confront Fúshé, who revealed that the detonator was with Tiamat.
• Fúshé escaped into the elevator, but Yoshio disabled visitor privileges and trapped him; Gaoxin learned that Fúshé had triggered the nuclear bomb ten minutes earlier.
• Gaoxin rehearsed different approaches and discovered that Fúshé would detonate the bomb regardless, but a spontaneous uprising could delay it while villagers escaped.
• Gaoxin found Klee leading the revolt and protected him, then explained that Klee had to guide everyone out of Yamaguchi Village before the bomb went off.
• Klee claimed to be Caesar’s brother and led villagers in attacking Yakuza members, while increasingly extravagant rumors about his connections drew more people into the uprising.

Gaoxin used Yoshio and the staged rebellion to delay Black Mamba’s group while Klee evacuated the civilians, then prepared for Fúshé to detonate the nuclear bomb. Gaoxin deflected most of the blast with Scarlet Reverse Moon Slash, saving the fleeing crowd and sending the remaining energy toward the Sea King Territory.

• Gaoxin sent Klee to evacuate the civilians and learned that Black Mamba’s group suspected Taishui had discovered their plan through Yellow Springs Grabbing People.
• Gaoxin had Yoshio impersonate the president to stall Black Mamba and the other Elephant Level fighters while Klee’s forces fought the Yakuza’s Black Hand Gang.
• Black Mamba exposed Yoshio as a substitute, and Yamaguchi Nobutaka defeated the group as Gaoxin implanted the Parasitic Module in a Tiger Level guard.
• Gaoxin spoke to Fúshé through Black Mamba’s communicator, but Fúshé detonated the nuclear bomb at the Yamaguchi Family residence.
• Gaoxin used Scarlet Reverse Moon Slash, his substitutes, and Diga to blunt the blast, leaving the civilians alive and directing most of the nuclear energy toward the Sea King Territory.

Tiger Whale, Sea Snake, and the other leaders debated whether to retreat offshore or risk an all-out battle against Taishui. Sea King ultimately agreed to fight alongside his family, leaving Haiwang Port preparing to stake everything on one final chance.

• Sea Snake urged the leaders to concentrate their forces in Tiger Whale Village and attack Taishui, but Sea King argued they should retreat to sea and wait for other factions to intervene.

When Tiger Whale’s forces attacked Gaoxin in Yamaguchi Village, Gaoxin disabled the modules of eight dragon-level fighters with a single touch, leaving their fate uncertain.

• Gaoxin touched the eight dragon-level powerhouses and severed their known modules, leaving them unable to attack again.

• Sea King descended to fight Gaoxin, explaining that he had come to stand by his family despite expecting defeat.

Gaoxin fought Sea King for Haiwang Port, learning that repeated regeneration shortened the lifespans of Radiation Users as Sea King revealed his own decline. After Gaoxin beheaded Sea King and Haiwang Port began to rout, Sea King unveiled his hidden ally Feng Wuji, who arrived in a giant mecha to keep Sea King's family alive.

• Sea King told Gaoxin that repeated injuries and regeneration consumed Radiation Users' lifespans, explaining why his aging had accelerated after his battles with Six Gods.
• Sea King attacked while Gaoxin was distracted, but Gaoxin summoned Solomon with the Dragon King Card, and they battled Sea King together.
