Arc 234The Fall of the Demon Cave Master
Locke and his allies erased the Demon Cave Master and claimed the spoils as Demon Cave Time-Space collapsed. The Evil Tide Civilization inherited the ruined plane, while Saine returned to Gear Time-Space and advanced the Mechanical God to Level 12 as the factions began rebuilding.
- Locke and his allies shattered the Demon Cave Master's Origin Heart Core, then hunted down his remaining soul traces until his final will vanished.
- The Myriad Phenomena Balance Master abandoned his attempt to save the Demon Cave Master, and Heavenly Crown Emperor Monarch left after Locke blocked his attempt to claim spoils.
- The Demon Cave Time-Space Origin recognized the Evil Tide Civilization, which began rescuing exiles and stabilizing the ruined plane under Secluded Bamboo Supreme's leadership.
- The Evil Spirit King offered Saine intelligence and resources in exchange for help returning to Evil Swamp Time-Space, while Saine withheld a decision pending further details.
- Saine discovered a crack in a Heart Core Fragment that resembled Evil Swamp Time-Space's Slumber Nodes, then returned to Gear Time-Space with the Mechanical God and his forces.
- Saine used the fragments and Gear Time-Space's support to advance the Mechanical God to Level-12 Early-Stage and recorded its new autonomous adaptation ability.
- Locke absorbed the Destruction Element Rule Factors as his power grew, while Kakarot reached Level-12 Late-Stage and Vegeta reached Level-11 Peak.
- The Evil Tide Civilization and its allies resettled exiles and rebuilt damaged regions as other civilizations and factions restored their homes, strengthened their forces, and resumed trade.
