• Andrew returned to the Ocean Empire and entered its Crystal Technology Research Lab through the Quantum Realm.
• A Sharkman ordered the lab to prepare memory infusions, weapons, control devices, spacecraft, and defensive force fields for the coming war against humans.

Andrew ordered Tony to help prepare defenses against the Ocean Empire, including countermeasures for its crystal technology and energy shields for coastal cities. Tony agreed to work on them while Andrew planned a defensive counterattack and promised he would handle the remaining threats.

He left the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau with one to two months to prepare, and Dave chose to modify Magic Arrays despite Andrew’s reminder about Rita’s marriage ultimatum.

• Kaguya Otsutsuki raged after Andrew ended their communication, while Andrew decided to postpone dealing with her and focus on the Undersea Empire.
• Andrew told Director Newman to work with Tony on concealed City Defense Shields and consider recruiting the Rat King through Rat Catcher.

Andrew persuaded the Earth Turtle to undergo an Ability transplant so it could create powerful Earth Clones and defend seven coastal battlefronts from an impending marine attack. As Andrew began the experiment, Director Newman took Rat Catcher underground to meet the Rat King.

• Andrew explained that the Earth Turtle needed to learn his Earth Clone Ability to help protect coastal cities from the approaching marine creatures.

Director Newman negotiated an agreement with the Rat King, securing the Ratmen’s cooperation with the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau in exchange for a planet, a recognized settlement on Earth, equal pay for Ratmen, and a Tom and Jerry movie starring the Rat King. The Ratmen began helping Tony build the City Defense Shields, though Tony warned that completing them in a month was unlikely.

• Director Newman offered the Rat King Bureau funding and a place for its people, and the Rat King questioned whether humanity could be trusted.
• Director Newman promised to help the Ratmen choose a suitable planet and secured the Rat King’s agreement to cooperate after it named conditions for relocation and a permanent American settlement.

The Lord of Chaos and Poseidon prepared a sea-monster army after successfully testing Mutated Compound Five, while their allies assigned commanders and forces for the coming attacks. Scar gave a female commander orders to kill the King of Abilities, but she asked who would deal with the Void Demoness.

• Tony told Batman about the Rat people so Batman would investigate them, while Director Newman worked to complete the Defensive Shield in secret.

• The female commander accepted Scar's orders but asked who would deal with the Void Demoness.

The Losers Alliance argued over how to supply troops for the catastrophe, while Chthon tried to use Hera to manipulate Poseidon and acquire his Compound V Big Tree. Hera refused, and the dispute ended with her proposing that they take troops from the Power Demon King Alliance instead.

• Demon, Chthon, Set, and Death argued over drawing troops from their forces, each trying to avoid weakening their own armies.
• Chthon asked Demon for Hera so he could use her to approach Poseidon, but Hera attacked his clone and firmly refused.

Demon and Chthon planned to use the Power Demon King Alliance and awakened marine creatures to send Demon Army units to Earth, while Chthon pushed to make Hera seduce Poseidon. After Alesha exposed Chthon’s motives, Demon decided to protect Hera and involve Lord of Chaos in investigating Poseidon’s secret.

• Demon assigned Chthon to draw four Demon Army units from the Power Demon King Alliance, and Demon proposed using awakened marine creatures to open a Teleportation channel to Earth.

Meanwhile, Chthon assembled seven armies beneath the sea, where the Demons struggled with the cold and damp as preparations for war continued.

• Three-Eyed Demon arrived with Demon and Vampire troops, completing the seven armies, while Poseidon prepared six waterless zones and assigned Ocean Empire soldiers to train alongside them.
• A Flame Demon General asked Demon to move the Demon Army to an island because the seabed’s cold, damp conditions were making Demons sick and extinguishing their flames.

Poseidon and Chthon’s allies finalized preparations for an undersea war against humanity, while Tony, Andrew, and the governments strengthened coastal defenses. Half a month later, Andrew discussed fishing vessels and safer boats with Perseus beside the sea in New York.

• Andrew gave Perseus Poseidon's Trident and asked him to stop Poseidon's Ocean Tsunami; Perseus accepted and went beneath the sea.

Andrew returned to explain that the seven armies would attack at once and assigned Ashley and Blair to defend separate cities, offering them a way to temporarily become Skyfathers by giving life to their rules. In Los Angeles, Samantha began her new police chief post, unaware she had been transferred there to command the city if the Sea People attacked.

• The Disaster Countermeasures Bureau had transferred Samantha to Los Angeles so she could command the city if the Sea People attacked.

Samantha encountered the Compound V Big Tree, which offered to help her gain the Weapon Rule and become a Skyfather in exchange for joining its plans. Andrew monitored the encounter through Samantha’s distress signal, and Samantha refused to betray humanity despite the promise of power and immortality.

• Andrew told Samantha he had not abandoned her and encouraged her to hear the Iron Great Tree’s offer as a chance to gain power.
• Samantha told the Iron Great Tree she wanted to become stronger to protect Earth, but refused to become its accomplice or betray humanity for immortality.

Andrew helped Samantha fuse with the Iron Great Tree’s Steel Seed, turning its trap into an opportunity to grant her the Weapon Rule without letting the Brand control her. Samantha began her painful transformation, with Andrew promising to train her toward becoming a Skyfather.

• The Iron Great Tree offered Samantha an incomplete Steel Seed that could grant the Weapon Rule, while Andrew explained that it would drain her lifespan and let its Brand manipulate and control her.
• Andrew told Samantha to fuse with the seed and promised to repair its flaws and neutralize the Brand so she could pursue becoming a Skyfather without betraying humanity.
• Samantha agreed to work toward becoming a Skyfather, though she protested that she hated studying and worried about the effort her weaker aptitude would require.
• Ashley noticed Andrew making strange movements and learned he was helping Samantha from afar.
• Andrew repaired the missing Rules in the Steel Seed, fused its Brand with a Virtual Life, and altered the Brand so it could no longer threaten Samantha.
• Andrew released the repaired seed into Samantha, and she screamed as it painfully fused with her.

Samantha completed her fusion with the Steel Seed, gaining a transformed Ability and an Iron Great Tree Brand that Andrew could use to track and corrupt the tree. Andrew prepared for the coming war, learned that Zeus had bound his soul to Thor’s Hammer, and left Samantha with orders to master her powers and prepare to command the city when disaster arrived.

• Samantha endured the fusion’s pain and gained the potential to advance to Skyfather, while Andrew recognized that her Iron Great Tree Brand could help him locate and corrupt the tree.
• Andrew ordered Alice to search Earth for the remaining Compound V Big Trees and arranged with Tony Stark to launch Starlink satellites equipped with weapons.
• Alice reported that Zeus had found Thor’s Hammer and bound his soul to it, so Andrew told her to monitor him while leaving him undisturbed for now.
• Zeus celebrated his new weapon, postponed confronting Poseidon and Hades until after the coming war, and went drinking and pursuing women in Europe.
