Saine questioned an Aiyoulan Butterfly Civilization artificial intelligence about its history and the Super-Dimensional Space, learning how the civilization defeated the Black Yin Civilization while pursuing Dimensional Ascension. The chapter left Gilbert Master recognizing the name “Despair World” from somewhere.

• Saine reminded the others that the Wizard Civilization might rival other Top-Level Civilizations, and the Butterfly Phantom agreed that strength could not be judged simply.

Saine learned that the Inert Crystal deposits came from energy crystals produced by the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization’s Infinite Energy Devices, and that a replica beneath the Hongguang Technology Center had powered it for millions of years. The Butterfly Phantom explained the civilization’s defenses and gazed toward the past, where the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization’s fleets had departed through a colossal gate into a new era.

• Saine asked the Butterfly Phantom about the Inert Crystal veins, and it explained that they had formed from energy crystals produced by the Infinite Energy Device.
• The Butterfly Phantom revealed that a replica beneath the Hongguang Technology Center had generated the crystals and maintained the facility’s operations for tens of millions of years.
• Saine suspected the replica was the World-Class Secret Treasure detected by the Magic Cube and asked about the other treasure in the Towering Skyscraper.
• The Butterfly Phantom identified the Hongguang Technology Center’s Energy Exciter as the device controlling the subspace Energy Barriers, which the garrison had raised after fighting the Black Yin Civilization’s remnants.
• When Saine asked where the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization’s main fleets and people had gone, the Butterfly Phantom recalled their warships departing through a colossal azure gate toward a new world and era.

Saine and his companions reflected on the rise and fall of civilizations while exploring the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization’s Towering Skyscraper. The Magic Cube completed another upgrade, and Saine considered how to direct its newly expanded abilities.

• Saine said that individuals and civilizations were insignificant beside the Star Realm and time, and that they could only do what they believed was right.
• The Butterfly Phantom explained that the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization had left little useful information about its Spacetime Shockwave Bomb or Infinite Energy Device.
• Wall-E recognized a laboratory where Dr. Charles Isaac had worked on robotics and learned that it was an Explorer Type 5 Stereoscopic Machine made by Charles.
• Saine reflected on death and Wall-E’s lost hope of its master returning, feeling that the Magic Cube helped him understand Wall-E’s confusion.
• The Magic Cube finished upgrading, and Saine learned that he could spend its stored energy to strengthen one or two of its functions, though he had not decided how to guide its growth.

Saine used the upgraded Crystalline Cube to contact its subunit inside Fumila and rapidly crack her Third Firewall, hoping to recruit her. As the process neared completion, Sipnas roared in a hidden Galente Federation laboratory, leaving Fumila’s fate uncertain.

• Saine activated the upgraded Crystalline Cube to reach the subunit embedded in Fumila.
• Fumila felt the subunit move within her, analyze her body, repair her injuries, and emerge as a crystal on her chest.
• The upgraded Cube helped the subunit crack Fumila’s Third Firewall, and Saine considered using it to turn enemy robot legions to his side.
• Sipnas roared inside and outside a hidden laboratory as Fumila’s Firewall cracking rate reached 67%.

Saine negotiated with Butterfly Phantom for the Aiyoulan Butterfly Civilization’s records on Inert Crystals and promised to protect the Intelligent Robot race. Their exchange was interrupted when Bond’s special agent squad launched a powerful attack beneath the skyscraper.

• Saine explained the Magic Cube’s origins and asked Butterfly Phantom whether it had research records on Inert Crystals.
• Butterfly Phantom shared its civilization’s research findings and millions of years of observations, which Gilbert and the others began copying.
• Butterfly Phantom asked Saine to care for the Intelligent Robot race, and Saine promised the race would not perish.
• A thunderous explosion erupted below, and Butterfly Phantom projected an image of Bond and the surviving Federation agents.

Saine and the others watched Bond's Federation agents explore the Towering Skyscraper while debating whether to stop them, and learned that Fumila would not attack Bond. Bond planned to use the Federation's Wandering Harvester against the building, but Fumila flew past his team unhindered, revealing that the defenses treated her differently, and Bond called Five-Star Admiral Macedon General.

• Mo Yan suggested that Saine, Yuli, and the Mo Yan Three Brothers work with the building's defense systems to eliminate Bond's agents, but Saine said Fumila would not attack Bond because she retained memories of fighting beside him.
• The Butterfly Phantom assured them that the Hongguang Technology Center could still stop Level-4 and Level-5 Creatures, and Mo Yan turned his attention to the valuable technological products.
• Bond's agents had discovered that the Black Yin Civilization's Biological Warship could interfere with the building's Energy Barriers, and Bond planned to use the Wandering Harvester's firepower to destroy the Towering Skyscraper.
• Fumila appeared with restored wings and a crystal on her chest, passed Bond's team without attacking, and flew deeper into the building.
• Bond found that the building's defense systems blocked his agents but had not obstructed Fumila, so he halted the exploration and contacted Five-Star Admiral Macedon General using methods borrowed from the Black Yin Civilization.

Five-Star Admiral Macedon redirected the Wandering Harvester to Bond’s coordinates in the Steel Ruins, trusting Bond despite objections from his officers. Bond then ordered his group to leave the Towering Skyscraper, while Saine focused on helping the injured Fumila and Mo Yan sensed danger.

• Macedon changed the Wandering Harvester’s target from the Wizard Civilization front lines to the coordinates Bond had provided.
• A Three-Star Lieutenant General warned that the weapon’s slow reloading and poor accuracy made changing targets risky, but Macedon defended his decision to trust Bond.
• The Federation officers accepted Macedon’s order, and the Wandering Harvester turned toward the Steel Ruins at the heart of the subspace.
• After hearing the Federation military’s response, Bond told his subordinates to leave the Towering Skyscraper immediately.
• Saine examined Fumila through the Magic Cube sub-body and prepared to use the completed Magic Cube to help her recover, while Mo Yan felt a sudden bad omen.

Saine reclaimed the Magic Cube Sub-Body from Fumila, then used the completed Magic Cube to help her recover and gain limited control over her. As Saine began upgrading the Super Magic Guided Bomb, Bond triggered a Particle Wave from the Black Yin Civilization warship wreckage that disrupted the subspace secret realm’s defenses and unleashed a surge of power.

• Saine recalled the Magic Cube Sub-Body from Fumila, whose reaction drew the attention of Mo Yan, Qixiu, and Hanliu.
• Saine placed the completed Magic Cube inside Fumila to accelerate her recovery and gained limited control over her.
• Yuli resented Fumila’s apparent competition for Saine’s attention and the Magic Cube, while Wall-E welcomed the arrival of another robot.
• Saine began upgrading the Super Magic Guided Bomb using information from Gilbert and the Butterfly Phantom.
• Bond emitted a Particle Wave from the Black Yin Civilization Dominator-class Biological Warship wreckage, causing many of the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization’s Energy Barriers to vanish.
• A tide of terrifying power swept from deep within the Galente Federation Fleet formation.

Cuilisi ordered Wizard Civilization’s forces to advance toward the subspace center after the Black Yin Civilization’s particle wave weakened the energy barriers and the Galente Federation launched Doomsday Weapons. At the Hongguang Technology Center, Butterfly Phantom No. 2 began diverting the Towering Skyscraper’s energy to defend against the incoming strike and revealed a spherical World-Class Secret Treasure.

• Cuilisi recognized the Black Yin Civilization’s particle wave as Dominator-class and saw the Galente Federation Fleet fire Wandering Harvester rockets toward the subspace center.
• Cuilisi ordered Wizard Civilization’s legions to advance and harass the Federation Fleet after the weakened barriers restored long-range communications.
• The Ancient Desert Wasteland World and Sea Planet legions withdrew to the second line, while Sailun led the Federation’s advance and Cuilisi moved to confront him.
• Butterfly Phantom No. 2 told Saine that the Black Yin Civilization had damaged the subspace’s energy circuits and that the incoming strike matched Dominator-class power.
• Butterfly Phantom No. 2 gathered the Towering Skyscraper’s energy into layered barriers and revealed a semi-transparent spherical crystal as its third World-Class Secret Treasure.

Saine and his companions endured the Galente Federation’s Doomsday Weapon barrage against the Hongguang Technology Center, while Saine remained fascinated by the impact. Butterfly Phantom No. 2 agreed to open an escape route after Saine promised the Wizard Civilization would preserve the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization’s history, and Saine stayed behind as the others prepared to leave.

• The remaining Energy Barriers absorbed part of the Galente Federation’s Wandering Harvester barrage, but the Hongguang Technology Center took the sustained attack directly.
• Saine rushed to the observation barrier to study the collision of Dominator-class power while explosions shook the skyscraper.
• Mo Yan asked about an Emergency Escape Route, and Wall-E pointed out one in the southwestern corner that required authorization from the control center’s artificial intelligence.
• Saine promised Butterfly Phantom No. 2 that the Wizard Civilization would record the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization’s history and discoveries, and No. 2 agreed to send them away.
• A Gray Light Gate appeared, and Mo Yan urged everyone to leave; Geli asked Saine to come with them, but he chose to stay and observe before attempting to withdraw.

Saine stayed behind to observe and record the clash between the Galente Federation's Doomsday Weapons and the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization's Energy Barrier, despite the danger to himself and those around him. As the barrier weakened and the Steel Ruins came under attack, his Flames of Ash advanced, leaving him with a newly enhanced flame.

• Saine decided to risk remaining near the battle so he could study the annihilation blast created by the Doomsday Weapons and Energy Barrier.
• Saine sent Gilbert, the Mo Yan Three Brothers, and the other low-level magicians and knights to evacuate, while Wall-E, Yuli, Flame Mark, and Fumila stayed.
• Saine warned that the evacuation route might face other threats and asked how long the Energy Barrier could hold as cracks spread through it.
• The Energy Tide injured Saine and began to erode his Elemental True Body, but he continued collecting data from the clash.
• Saine's Flames of Ash broke through, forming a translucent flame at his fingertips that threatened even Fumila.

With the Galente Federation's Doomsday Weapon threatening the Towering Skyscraper, Saine used the Magic Cube to absorb the remaining Source Law Power and pursue a third upgrade. Butterfly Phantom No. 2 agreed to help him one last time, reminding him not to forget his promise.

• Saine spent most of the remaining time studying the laws in the Towering Skyscraper before preparing to escape with Flame Mark and Yuli.
• Saine tried to persuade Butterfly Phantom No. 2 to leave, then revealed that he wanted to absorb the skyscraper's laws to upgrade the Magic Cube.
• The Magic Cube drew in Source Law Power from the Secret Treasure Fragments and the Infinite Energy Device Replica while Saine supplied it with magical energy.
• Saine left the active Faceted Crystal Ball untouched and replenished it with law energy.
• Butterfly Phantom No. 2 acknowledged the Magic Cube's potential and transformed into Source Law Light to help Saine one last time.

Saine and his companions escaped the collapsing Hongguang Technology Center after the Magic Cube absorbed the Ai Youlan Butterfly Civilization’s remaining law energy. As the explosion battered their passage, Fumila shielded the injured Saine, and their fate remained uncertain.

• Butterfly Phantom No. 2 directed the building’s energy into its barrier while the Magic Cube absorbed law spheres and the origins of several technological treasures.
• Saine led Yuli, Fumila, Wall-E, and Hal into the Emergency Escape Route as the building’s barrier failed.
• Wall-E hesitated to leave Butterfly Phantom No. 2, but Hal urged him onward, and the departing Wall-E heard the Phantom bid him to live well and follow his own path.
• The group vanished just before the explosion destroyed the Hongguang Technology Center, whose collapse became the center of fighting between the two civilizations’ forces.
• The explosion’s energy battered Saine and the others inside the Space Channel, and Fumila wrapped herself around him to absorb the impacts.

Saine and his companions emerged from the Space Channel near the Steel Ruins and decided to leave the spreading energy tides for the Wizard Civilization army. Saine kept the Magic Cube’s immense gains secret, but Fumila asked them to wait for her Angel Legion to arrive.

• Saine joined Mo Yan, Gilbert, and the others outside the Space Channel, and they saw the energy tides spreading from the Steel Ruins.
• Saine inspected Wall-E and reflected that Butterfly Phantom No. 2 had helped him partly to aid the Intelligent Robots of Cybertron Planet.
• Saine decided the group should leave the area and rendezvous with the Wizard Civilization army.
• Gilbert lamented the destruction of the technology center’s information, while Saine concealed how much the Magic Cube had absorbed.
• Fumila told the group to wait because her Angel Legion was converging on them.

Saine and his allies regrouped with Fumila’s Angel Legion in the Steel Ruins, where Bond’s Special Operations Force ambushed them. Saine sent the noncombatants onward while his fighters held off Bond’s troops, leaving the outmatched Federation force under attack from Fumila and the angels.

• More than ten thousand Angel-Type Robots joined Fumila and formed battle formations around Saine and his allies.
• Bond’s Special Operations Force ambushed the group with missiles and energy beams, disrupting the angels’ formations.
• Saine ordered Gilbert Master and the noncombatants to withdraw while Mo Yan, Yuli, Fumila, and the others stayed to intercept Bond’s force.
• The Mo Yan Three Brothers and Yuli engaged Federation operatives as Fumila charged Bond, while the Angel Legion besieged the Special Operations Force.

Saine and his allies withdrew from the Steel Ruins as Federation forces closed in, then returned to the Wizard Civilization’s main army. Saine learned his grandmaster was still fighting on the front line and was told to recover from his severe injuries.

• Saine ordered his group to retreat from the battlefield, and Fumila and the Mo Yan Three Brothers followed after breaking free of the Federation Special Forces.
• Fumila gathered the Black Boxes of fallen Angel-Type Robots before leading her surviving robots away, while Bond watched them escape and grew concerned about the Federation’s war effort.
• Saine and his allies reached the Wizard Civilization’s army, where Gilbert and the others had prepared an outpost for them.
• Pinas personally welcomed Saine and advised him to rest and recover before returning to battle.
• Pinas asked Saine about Fumila, and Saine confirmed that the Level-6 Angel-Type Robot had defected to their side.

Saine returned to the Wizard Civilization army with Fumila, the Level-6 robot who had defected from the Galente Federation, and reunited with his Ash Holy Tower Legion. While settling Fumila into his fortress and studying her, he learned she wanted him to use the Magic Cube to free nearly one million Angel-Type Robots still serving the Federation.

• Pinas told Saine that his Grandmaster had ordered the Wizard Civilization army to intercept the Galente Federation, likely because she suspected Saine was in danger.
• Saine rested and took responsibility for keeping Fumila under supervision, settling her on the outskirts of the Wizard Civilization army before bringing her to Ash Fortress.
• Saine reunited with the Ash Holy Tower Legion and learned that Lunna, Xia Ya, Bai Xing, and Cuilisi had helped keep it safe while he was away.
• Saine housed Fumila and Wall-E in Ash Fortress and began studying Fumila, who gradually grew more willing to speak with him.
• Fumila told Saine she disliked Pinas and asked him to use the Magic Cube to give intelligence to nearly one million Angel-Type Robots in the Galente Federation army.

Saine dissected Fumila and several Angel-Type Robots, learning that the Federation had replicated angel-like organs as well as their appearance. He told Fumila that her entry into the Wizard Alliance would be delayed by the escalating war, and promised to introduce her to Cybertronian Robots among the incoming reinforcements.

• Saine dissected Fumila, examining her synthetic skin, energy-storing wings, and internal structure.
• Saine dissected several low-level Angel-Type Robots and found that they also possessed distinct organs, suggesting their creator had deliberately replicated angels.
• Saine told Fumila that the Wizard Alliance could not yet address her joining because the war was intensifying, but promised to remember the matter and fight alongside her.
• Fumila put on a combat suit and prepared to leave the laboratory while Saine reflected on his many other research obligations.
• Saine told Fumila that Cybertronian Robots might arrive with the Wizard Alliance reinforcements and offered to introduce them.

Saine returned to the front line after recovering, where Pinas discussed the ongoing battles and the possibility of sending him into combat. Before departing for the Underworld Star Region, Gilbert shared his research on the Inert Crystals and warned that detonating all the crystals in the Hongguang Technology Center could collapse the subspace.

• Pinas visited Saine and explained that the fiercest fighting centered on the Hongguang Technology Center ruins and a guarded node near the Steel Ruins.
• Saine agreed to fight if needed, and Pinas mentioned that Luluenman might arrive later and that Fumila could be in the fortress organizing Angel-Type Robots.
• Gilbert visited Saine to say farewell before returning to the Underworld Star Region to report on the Inert Crystals.
• Gilbert shared the principles he had learned about Inert Crystals, which could help Saine improve his Super Magic Guided Bomb.
• Gilbert said the Inert Crystals likely survived the Doomsday Weapon and that detonating the deposits could collapse the entire subspace.

Saine considered upgrading his Magic Cube and replacing his outdated Magic Staff and Magic Robe before Ash Holy Tower received a new battle order. As his forces prepared to deploy, he learned that Chakra had fallen and asked whether Ash Holy Tower could recruit Dark Wind Holy Tower’s magicians.

• Saine examined the Magic Cube’s ongoing transformation and planned to use its stored Source Law Power as the core of a new Magic Staff.
• Ash Holy Tower received a Battle Order and prepared to join an operation involving two Knights’ Halls and four alliance legions, totaling roughly five million combatants.
• Saine discussed Ash Holy Tower’s small number of registered magicians with Meili and reassured her that the tower had grown quickly for its age and circumstances.
• Meili told Saine that Chakra had died in a battle against an Apocalypse Great World powerhouse and that Dark Wind Holy Tower was about to disband.
• Saine asked whether Ash Holy Tower could recruit registered magicians from Dark Wind Holy Tower.

Saine arranged for Meili to recruit talented magicians from Dark Wind Holy Tower and led the Ash Holy Tower Legion to reinforce a battle in the Steel Ruins. He commanded the allied forces into combat, where the Jahana Kingdom knights charged alongside several foreign legions.

• Saine asked Meili to contact Dark Wind Holy Tower magicians and offered to fund their recruitment from his recent fortune.
• Meili volunteered to approach Magician Zhi Yubo, and Saine recalled Demigod-level Magician Musuoer as another promising recruit.
• Saine led the Ash Holy Tower Legion to the southwestern outskirts of the Steel Ruins and joined an ongoing battle as reinforcements.
• Saine contacted the two Level-4 Knights and four foreign gods serving alongside him, then assessed their strengths and legions.
• Saine ordered Great Jaw King to charge first, followed by the Ice Mausoleum Enchantress, Ghost Cave Yin Bat, the Green Leaf Worm Legion, and the Jahana Kingdom knights.

Saine led a massive Wizard Civilization reinforcement into a battered war zone and unleashed its magical firepower against the Galente Federation’s fortified line. As the allied legions charged through the bombardment, a Level-3 Great Jaw creature reached a bunker where surviving Federation soldiers prepared to self-destruct.

• Saine kept Fumila and her Angel Legion concealed in Ash Fortress as a reserve for the battle.
• Saine’s millions-strong force arrived to find the Galente Federation had pushed the Wizard Civilization legion back behind hastily built fortifications.
• Magicians inside Ash Fortress, its cannons, and newly supplied Magic Energy Puppets opened a devastating attack on the Federation forces.
• The Great Jaw Legion and Green Leaf Worm Legion charged beneath the magical bombardment as the Federation countercharge faltered.
• A Level-3 Great Jaw creature reached a damaged bunker, and the surviving Federation soldiers inside activated its self-destruct device.

Saine and his allies confronted a newly arrived Galente Federation Silver Fleet in the Steel Ruins. Saine unleashed his newly developed Forbidden Spell, Fallen Star, against the fleet, leaving the battle unresolved.

• The Green Leaf Worm God used swarms of small Green Leaf Worms to shield itself and attack the Galente Federation fleet, while the Great Jaw King faced fleets and a giant mech.
• A Silver Fleet advanced on Saine in a trident formation and opened fire with missiles that shattered his Magic Shield but did not harm his Law True Body.
• Yuli followed Saine into battle, while Lunna and Xia Ya fought alongside him with their signature weapons and forms.
• Saine hurled Magic Guided Bombs made from Inert Crystals and cast his newly developed Forbidden Spell, Fallen Star, as crimson lights appeared above the Silver Fleet.
