Chapter Summaries

James weighed how Umbrella’s technology limited his options while playing his role under the Red Queen’s scrutiny. In Los Angeles, Cas infiltrated a hidden laboratory, recognized that Toth was preparing a ritual to summon an Abyss Demon God, and began considering how to alert Umbrella.

• James concluded that Umbrella’s powered armor could erase his advantage in combat and that targeting Beautiful Country’s leaders would accomplish little.
• Cas investigated a pharmaceutical company’s concealed laboratory and discovered it was recruiting homeless people for dangerous experiments.
• Cas entered the laboratory as a test subject, memorized the elevator’s security details, and recognized Toth among the staff.
• Cas learned from other prisoners that hundreds of subjects had been used in a week and saw a surviving subject who appeared to be a vessel for divine descent.
• Cas identified the altar-like renovations as preparations to channel an Abyss Demon God’s power and decided he needed to notify Umbrella.

James killed Saqi’s school bullies before defeating a BlackRock security squad sent to silence the kidnapping survivors, then went to a Los Angeles laboratory after learning it might be linked to a test-subject operation. Cas and James exposed an Evil God altar there, but Umbrella’s powerful summons captured them and chose to handle the threat on their own terms.

• James brought Saqi’s bullies to the farm, killed them when armed intruders approached, and then shot and interrogated five operatives who attacked him.
• The operatives revealed that they worked for a BlackRock security company and had come to eliminate kidnapping survivors connected to a Los Angeles laboratory.
• Cas escaped the laboratory after Toth pursued him, and James helped him flee after learning there was an Evil God altar inside.
• Cas and James warned the public about the altar, prompting Toth to return to the laboratory to protect the vessel he had cultivated.
• Li Yao stopped Cas in an alley and overwhelmed him, while Cheng Xue confronted James and ordered him to follow her.

Toth pursued the imprisoned vessel as Umbrella sealed the laboratory and warned that an Abyss Demon God’s descent might require an orbital strike. Meanwhile, Old Morgan’s group considered backing the Evil God, and Wang Yi revealed that he intended to use the descent to capture a Demon God; the Seven Realms then learned that Earth’s faith could empower it.

• Toth ignored the laboratory staff and rushed toward the vessel, but the lockdown sealed the facility after Umbrella’s special operations team arrived.
• Umbrella broadcast the captives’ warning about the Abyss Demon God and recommended evacuating Los Angeles and carrying out an orbital strike, while Beautiful Country refused to approve the strike.
• Old Morgan’s group questioned Toth’s elf contact about the Abyss Demon God, learned that Enzo was an Abyss Lord, and agreed to redirect existing religious belief toward the Lord.
• Wang Yi watched the abyssal aura gather and revealed that he hoped to use the Demon God’s descent as a chance to capture one alive.
• Surviving Seven Realms spies reported the Evil God believers’ influence, prompting the Expeditionary Council to warn that Earth’s faith could empower a dangerous Demon God projection.

The Seven Realms prepared to exploit the Beautiful Country’s political divisions, while Wang Yi encountered a new Resident Evil outbreak in Los Angeles and headed for its source. The Seven Realms then launched a surprise assault with Legendary warriors, overwhelming the Beautiful Country’s defenses and targeting its command centers.

• The Tower Master of Radiance advised the Expedition Council to abandon plans to exhaust Earth’s forces and instead exploit the Beautiful Country’s politics, while the God of War High Priest agreed to act personally.
• The Beautiful Country’s factions remained deadlocked despite the threat, and Umbrella watched without intervening.
• Wang Yi visited a Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles as a Resident Evil outbreak began, warned the customers that an Abyss sacrifice was involved, and left aboard a Banshee for the laboratory.
• The Seven Realms sent armored Legendary warriors through the portal, and surveillance operators watched them break the sound barrier as they raced toward military command sites.
• The Legendary attackers struck the Beautiful Country’s defensive line before its forces could respond, leaving the surveillance operators to hear reports of chaos and explosions.

Nairus and the other Legendary Knights of Seven Realms shattered Beautiful Country’s Manhattan defenses, captured its command center, and seized the army with little resistance. As Nairus announced their occupation and promised to save Earth, Beautiful Country’s leaders debated how to fight back while Seven Realms sent forces toward Washington and Los Angeles.

• Nairus charged through the Manhattan Bridge defenses at supersonic speed, destroyed the garrison, and captured the Brooklyn command center.
• The Legendary Knights and their Heroic Rank allies took control of the two hundred thousand troops, most of whom surrendered after the decapitation strike.
• More than a dozen Legendary Knights headed toward Washington while others moved toward New York television stations, and Nairus broadcast Seven Realms’ message to the world.
• Beautiful Country’s leader escaped aboard the Doomsday Plane and demanded a nuclear strike, but his advisers warned that the Legendary Knights could evade nuclear weapons and use urban shelters.
• Nairus claimed Seven Realms had come to save humanity, promised to preserve residents’ freedom and redistribute resources, and said seven companions were heading to Los Angeles to stop the Abyss Demon God’s descent.

The Seven Realms occupied New York and Washington while Beautiful Country’s leader threatened resistance, and a clash between F15s and seven Legends showed that specialized weapons could injure them. In Los Angeles, Umbrella contained an abyssal infection as Wang Yi allowed the Seven Realms’ Legends to enter the quarantine zone, hoping their presence would strengthen the flesh altar’s summoned vessel.

• Nairus issued occupation decrees and argued publicly with Beautiful Country’s leader, while the leader’s advisers urged him to let the Seven Realms and Umbrella confront the outbreak in Los Angeles.
• Beautiful Country sent forty-eight F15s to attack the seven Legends traveling toward Los Angeles with AI-guided missiles; Adrian absorbed the worst of the barrage, then destroyed three jets with a sword strike.
• Beautiful Country’s leader ordered tactical nuclear warheads fitted to the new missiles, while his advisers warned that the Legends could evade attacks more effectively inside cities.
• Cheng Xue and Umbrella’s forces contained the mutating infected within a one-kilometer quarantine zone as abyssal Magic Power rose and ordinary weapons struggled to destroy the creatures.
• Wang Yi told Cheng Xue and Li Yao to let the Seven Realms’ Legends enter, intending to use them to strengthen the vessel summoned by the flesh altar.

The Seven Realms Legends entered Umbrella’s quarantine zone to destroy the Abyss altar, unaware that the church had made them part of a far larger sacrifice. Wang Yi warned Adrian that the threat exceeded their expectations, but the God of War High Priest’s arrival did not reassure him: Wang Yi questioned whether even a Demigod could solve the crisis.

• The seven Legends reached Los Angeles after Beautiful Country’s missile attack, then entered Umbrella’s quarantine zone while Adrian stayed outside to coordinate.
• Herzog led six Legends toward the underground laboratory, where they prepared holy water and Broken Tooth activated a token to summon the God of War High Priest if needed.
• Inside the altar, Toth reported the Legends’ arrival to the Elf Race divine envoy, who sacrificed himself to establish a passage to the Main God.
• Wang Yi invited Adrian aboard a Banshee and warned him that the church might pay any price because Earth had no gods to stop it; Adrian urgently warned the others to summon the High Priest.
• The laboratory’s walls and floor transformed into an enormous tide of flesh, trapping the six Legends until Broken Tooth summoned the God of War High Priest.
• After Adrian thanked Wang Yi for the warning, Wang Yi said that a Demigod might not be able to solve the crisis, leaving Adrian horrified.

Wang Yi allowed the Abyss sacrifice to mature until the Demon God Embryo reached the threshold of godhood, then sealed it and Toth with the Immortal-Slaying Sword. The surviving Legends learned that Wang Yi was Earth's god, and he declared that they would be punished for entering his territory.

• Adrian and Wang Yi watched the Life sacrifice consume Umbrella's quarantine zone as the God of War High Priest and the Legends escaped the flesh below and were trapped inside the sealed space.
• Wang Yi warned that the Legends had absorbed flesh spores and were being turned into sacrifices, prompting the High Priest and the others to attack the embryo while Wang Yi gathered power through Earth's Mage Towers and the Heavenly Court.
• The High Priest and the Legends fought their way to the altar, but Toth's sacrifice infected them and strengthened the embryo until they were close to defeat.
• Wang Yi sent the Immortal-Slaying Sword into the blood pool, where it pinned and sealed the embryo, drew Toth into it, and removed the parasites from the surviving Legends.
• Wang Yi revealed that he had let the embryo mature so he could study it, then told the surviving High Priest and Legends that they had entered his territory and would be punished.

Wang Yi captured the Demon God Embryo, the God of War High Priest, and three surviving Legendaries, then demanded a Magic-rich colony from the Seven Realms instead of settling for compensation. Umbrella announced the victory, leaving Olypus’s leaders scrambling to negotiate with the Beautiful Country and secure the High Priest’s release.

• Wang Yi suppressed the Demon God Embryo, restored the infected flesh and blood to it, and captured the High Priest and three surviving Legendaries.
• The God of War High Priest offered to end the Plane War and pay Legendary wonders, but Wang Yi demanded one of the Seven Realms’ Magic-rich colonies.
• Wang Yi’s Banshee carried the captives and Demon God Embryo to the Heavenly Court, while Umbrella lifted the blockade and announced its victory in Los Angeles.
• Nairus learned that the High Priest had been captured and urged the Olypus leadership to report the disaster to the Pope and seek a divine oracle.
• The Tower Master of Radiance confirmed the High Priest could not be contacted and proposed negotiating with the Beautiful Country to secure his release.

As the Seven Realms reeled from the capture of the God of War High Priest, the Seraphim Realm prepared to enter Micius alongside the Wildlings. The players armed themselves for the campaign, while their allies debated the plan and the companies profited from supplying the war effort.

• Beautiful Country struggled to assess the threat posed by Demigods, while the Seven Realms offered to return occupied territories after Umbrella captured the God of War High Priest.
• The Seven Realms and the Seraphim Realm established connections between their worlds, and the Moon Saint learned that the Wildlings had captured the High Priest alive.
• Porter told the Moon Saint that Micius had connected to the Seven Realms, and they agreed to send Wildlings ahead with the Seraphim forces in support.
• The Wildlings organized into armed groups and brought tanks, helicopters, artillery, and other equipment through the portals as they shouted about capturing the God of War alive.
• Frostwolf and Luke discussed the coming campaign and the Wildlings' powerful but supply-intensive weapons.
• Jiang Bo, Chong Tian, and Young Master Qin celebrated Abyss Mineral Company's oil and mineral profits as players and corporations supplied the campaign.

Umbrella’s player army launched its offensive through the newly opened passage to Micius, while Micius’s Trade Divine Court chose to test the invaders and pursue negotiations if possible. The invasion struck the Tajik Kingdom unexpectedly, and Tajik the Fifty-seventh tried to secure outside aid while preparing to surrender.

• Arasaka’s rule and Umbrella’s technology transformed Japan and South Korea, while Abyss World became a major source of work and investment.
• Yoko and Gu Qianqian discussed the coming offensive as Isaiah Rapp sought a replacement game helmet after fleeing a laboratory.
• Umbrella’s player army and Seraphim Realm powerhouses advanced through a portal toward Micius.
• Tipra proposed confronting the invaders once before seeking negotiations and trade, and a demigod saint approved using allied forces to test them.
• Plane invaders routed the Third Guardian Knight Legion and advanced toward Tajik’s capital, prompting Tajik the Fifty-seventh to consider surrender.
• Tajik the Fifty-seventh asked Baal and neighboring kingdoms for aid, offering ancestral reserves to persuade them to intervene.

Players invaded the Tajik Kingdom, destroyed its defenders, and occupied Tajik City as a supply base. Neighboring kingdoms formed an alliance to exploit the invasion, but a Legendary figure arrived as they prepared to act.

• Players landed at Viscount Aman's farm, detained the overseers, and learned that Tajik City lay nearby.
• Players captured Aman Viscounty with tank fire and destroyed the Third Knight Order when it charged them.
• Tajik the Fifty-seventh surrendered, and players occupied Tajik City and turned it into a supply depot.
• Neighboring kingdoms formed an alliance and prepared to march toward Tajik, hoping to gain rewards from the Plane War.
• King Baal and the other rulers felt a Legend's pressure as the temple's important figure emerged from the shadows.

Shadow and Death Witch Yumia sent the kingdoms’ coalition to attack Tajik, using the soldiers as test subjects while concealing their plan from King Baal. Earth’s artillery devastated the army, and Yumia turned its survivors into undead before advancing toward the players and their weapons.

• Shadow ordered King Baal to assemble the coalition, while Yumia used a calming spell to inspire the rulers and conceal her necromancy.
• King Baal led elite troops from five kingdoms toward Tajik, and Earth’s players spotted their advance with reconnaissance drones.
• The players fired a barrage of self-propelled artillery that nearly wiped out the coalition and left King Baal horrified by the slaughter.
• Yumia revealed that she and Shadow had treated the coalition as materials, then engulfed the battlefield in death mist and transformed the fallen into undead.
• Luke and the other Legends sensed Yumia’s undead aura as she drove the death mist toward the players’ tanks and artillery.

Yumia’s assault on the allied forces was halted when the Hero King appeared from the Hall of Valor and shielded the players, forcing her to retreat with captives. She concluded Earth had created a faith-bearing vessel with the potential to become a god, then betrayed Shadow and prepared to investigate the captured players, one of whom regained consciousness and began livestreaming.

• Yumia’s Death Wind overwhelmed the Legendary Warlock’s blizzard as Shadow engaged Frostwolf and Luke fought the Bone Dragon.
• The Hero King emerged from the Hall of Valor, protected the players, and turned Yumia’s Death Spear into his own weapon.
• Frostwolf wounded Shadow, while Yumia escaped with several players; the Hero King told the players that praying together could summon aid.
• Yumia and Shadow discussed the Hall of Valor, and she trapped and killed the injured Shadow to use his body as a Death Knight specimen.
• The Trade Temple judged the Hall of Valor a potential divine artifact and began reporting its findings to the God of Trade.
• Yumia released the captured players, and Big Head Cat regained consciousness and began livestreaming her.

Yumia used Big Head Cat to probe the Hall of Valor and Earth's defenses, but a targeted firewall destroyed part of her consciousness and convinced her that a mage might have found a way to resist the Abyss Demon God's curse. After questioning Cannot Be Naughty through his livestream, she reported her findings, prompting the God of Trade to order an investigation while Earth's leaders misunderstood the Seven Realms' questions about the Hall of Valor.

• Big Head Cat and Cannot Be Naughty livestreamed after Yumia captured them, and Yumia used magic on Big Head Cat to trace his connection to the Hall of Valor.
• Yumia's consciousness reached Earth's Hall of Valor, where Wang Yi's firewall neutralized it with defenses tailored to her spiritual power, faith, and Magic Power.
• Yumia concluded that the barrier had also blocked the Abyss Demon God's influence and suspected a fellow mage had found a way to resist the curse; the backlash left Big Head Cat dead until his resurrection.
• Yumia read information from Cannot Be Naughty's livestream chat, questioned players about Earth, Umbrella, and the Hall of Valor, and chose to keep him with her for further cooperation.
• The God of Trade ordered the Trade Divine Court to investigate the Hall of Valor, and information about its ability to purify and distribute faith spread among the Seven Realms' upper ranks.
• The Seven Realms asked the Beautiful Country about the Hall of Valor, but its leaders dismissed it as a game feature while the Seven Realms withheld their real concerns.

Wang Yi used the Hall of Valor to lure the Seven Realms’ gods while preparing the Zerg on Mars to delay the dragon race. As the war spread across Micius and Olypus pressed Beautiful Country to help free its captured High Priest, Beautiful Country publicly proposed an exchange of prisoners, leaving Umbrella to decide how to respond.

• Wang Yi learned that a loose spatial passage had appeared in Tokyo and Osaka, suspected to be the dragon race’s route, and chose to monitor it rather than seal it.
• Wang Yi brought Annie to Mars, assessed the Zerg’s progress in restoring the planet, and ordered the Brain worm to cultivate Magic Power-infused insects to delay the dragon race.
• The Seraphim Realm coalition shifted its advance to the Storm Empire while players and soldiers plundered the Tajik Kingdom and neighboring countries, and Olypus sought a way to rescue its captive High Priest.
• Beautiful Country’s leaders considered Olypus’s generous offer but refused to confront Umbrella openly, opting instead to appeal to public opinion and signal goodwill.
• Beautiful Country publicly announced that it would facilitate the return of New York and Washington in exchange for the High Priest, promising to give Umbrella none of Olypus’s compensation.

Umbrella rejected Beautiful Country’s proposal to trade nearly ten million people for the captured High Priest, and Olypus’s Ren Ya prepared a spectacular attack to demonstrate the Seven Realms’ power. Ren Ya launched the Fang of the Fallen Dragon toward South Heaven Gate, but Wang Yi caught the Divine Artifact and disappeared with it, leaving observers unable to perceive what had happened.

• Umbrella explained that demigods were extraordinarily rare and said Beautiful Country was responsible for the residents of New York and Washington.
• Ren Ya decided to attack South Heaven Gate with the Fang of the Fallen Dragon, while Beautiful Country agreed to watch the demonstration.
• The Tower Master of Radiance opened a portal and supplied Ren Ya with enough Magic Power to launch a strike toward orbit at more than 150 kilometers per second.
• The attack headed for South Heaven Gate, alarming observers on Earth and tourists in orbit, while the sightseeing system assured passengers that defenses were in place.
• Wang Yi appeared on South Heaven Gate, caught the incoming spear, and took it away; observers saw the strike vanish without understanding what had happened.

Old Ren Ya’s Divine Artifact vanished before it could strike South Heaven Gate, leaving Olypus, Micius, and Earth’s leaders uncertain how Umbrella had stopped it. Umbrella publicly explained the attack’s destructive potential and displayed its captured demigods and Legends being subjected to experiments, while the Seven Realms’ threat and the High Priest’s fate remained unresolved.

• Old Ren Ya launched the Fang of the Fallen Dragon toward South Heaven Gate, but the Divine Artifact and his connection to it suddenly disappeared.
• The Tower Master of Radiance and a Legendary Knight from Micius suspected that the attack had been transferred into the Abyss, and the knight returned to Micius urging its guards to learn about Earth.
• Beautiful Country’s leader watched the attack vanish and decided to release footage as officials tried to determine what had happened.
• Umbrella condemned the Seven Realms’ attack and explained that the Divine Artifact could destroy a small city with its Magic Power and physical force.
• Umbrella showed the captured God of War High Priest and three Legends restrained and undergoing experiments, then announced that it would distribute severed body parts for research.

Old Ren Ya convened the Seven Realms’ Council of Gods after Umbrella captured the God of War High Priest and seized Ren Ya’s Divine Artifact. The gods decided to conquer Earth and obtain the Hall of Valor, leaving Ren Ya eager for revenge.

• Umbrella broadcast its humiliation of the captured High Priest, and Nairus threatened Earth before Umbrella dared the Seven Realms to send another Divine Artifact.
• Old Ren Ya acknowledged his failed attack and announced he would seek the Council of Gods’ approval for a full conquest of Earth.
• The Sun God and other council members discussed Earth’s strength, faith, the Hall of Valor, and the risks of a prolonged war.
• The Dragon King supported treating Earth as though a god stood behind it, and the gods agreed to wear down its world will through conventional warfare.
• The gods agreed to let the God of Trade maintain a trade port as a restraint, while Old Ren Ya welcomed the decision and anticipated revenge.

Wang Yi and Leo prepared to divert the Seven Realms’ attention while exploiting Micius’s proposed trade agreement to open a route toward Olypus. The chapter left Leo anchoring a passage in the Starry Sky as Wang Yi secured Sephi’s support for an expedition against Olypus.

• Wang Yi told Leo that he should reveal himself in Micius to draw the Seven Realms’ attention, and Leo left to establish a spatial anchor near Olypus.
• Jiang Bo posted footage of Leo in Micius, prompting the Seven Realms’ leaders to treat his appearance as a deliberate demonstration and send demigods to search for him.
• Wang Yi prepared enhanced Mage Tower modules and a mysterious gift for Olypus while Leo completed a temporary passage from Micius.
• Micius proposed opening trade ports and paying regular tribute to Seraphim Realm, and the allied forces considered accepting the arrangement to preserve peace while tying down enemy forces.
• Wang Yi agreed to Micius’s talks but asked the Moon Saint to support an expedition against Olypus, and the Moon Saint approved assistance from around twenty Legendary powerhouses.
