• The Three-Eyed Demon’s spatial attack failed to erase Andrew’s clones, and Andrew ambushed him with an Adamantium fist that made his Hell Annihilation Cannon explode inside his mouth.
• Andrew evaded attacks from Zeus, Hades, and Kaguya Otsutsuki, then trapped Zeus in the Void and nearly struck him down before Hades and Kaguya helped him escape.
• Chthon and the other Skyfathers struggled to explain Andrew’s clones and suppressed their plan to send consciousnesses to observe him, then resumed their coordinated assault.
• The Skyfathers tested Andrew’s apparent clones with long-range attacks, but every attack passed through them, so they assumed the real Andrew was hiding nearby.
• Andrew’s mirage attacked the Demon Clone, while another apparent mirage hit the Three-Eyed Demon with a real Small World and forced him backward.

• Duke Victor resolved to break through to Skyfather, and Conqueror Kang and Black Dragon watched as he charged toward Skyfather.

• Pepper summoned Samantha, Ashley, Blair, and Minato Namikaze to join Earth Turtle in a team battle against Duke Victor, while Obito Uchiha was left behind.
• Tony protested that Pepper was being sent to face a Skyfather, but Andrew played Pepper's message insisting that she had chosen to fight.

Little Pepper and five allies fought Duke Victor after his promotion to Skyfather, while Andrew battled six Skyfathers elsewhere. Chthon identified Andrew’s unpredictable attacks as Kyoka Suigetsu, but the Skyfathers questioned how the ability could affect them without Andrew using Shikai.

• Andrew used Phantom Clone to confuse and injure six Skyfathers, while A-Train and Director Newman pressured Hydra and the female commander and Poseidon struggled to subdue Perseus.
• Chthon told the Skyfathers that Andrew was using Kyoka Suigetsu to control their senses, but Demon Clone pointed out that they had never seen Andrew use Shikai or carry a Zanpakuto.

Andrew explained that he had fused with Aizen and created a modified Kyoka Suigetsu Ability that gradually deepened its influence on Skyfathers who believed in it. Chthon identified a way to resist the illusion, but his proposed countermeasure could strengthen Andrew’s long-term plan.

• Chthon deduced that Andrew had modified Kyoka Suigetsu and that his changed hairstyle had hinted at the truth from the start.
• Andrew told Kaguya Otsutsuki that he had deliberately let Chthon identify Kyoka Suigetsu so the Skyfathers’ belief in it would intensify its hold over them.
• Andrew explained that Kyoka Suigetsu affected the Skyfathers’ perceptions and would also reach their true bodies if they witnessed its effects.
• Chthon advised the Skyfathers to use Danger Instinct to break the illusion when attacked, then proposed stabbing their souls with needles to keep themselves in danger.
• Kaguya Otsutsuki suspected Andrew might have manipulated her too, but accepted that she had already committed herself to him.

Andrew used Kyoka Suigetsu to manipulate the Three-Eyed Demon, exploiting the damage to his soul and turning him against the Demon Clone and the King of Negativity. The Three-Eyed Demon prepared to self-destruct with five of Andrew’s allies caught in his attack, while Andrew kept a surprise of his own concealed.

• Chthon persuaded the Skyfathers to stab their own souls with needles, allowing them to see through Andrew’s Mirages and spot the real King of Abilities hiding behind the Demon Clone.
• The Three-Eyed Demon mistook the Demon Clone for Andrew and blasted it, then continued attacking it under Andrew’s command despite the others’ protests.
• Andrew explained that Kyoka Suigetsu could fully control the Three-Eyed Demon because his damaged soul made him especially vulnerable, while he secretly gathered energy in his arms.
• The Lord of Chaos and the Lord of Order failed to regain control of the Three-Eyed Demon, whose attacks forced the Demon Clone and the King of Negativity’s Sorrow Clone to defend themselves.
• The Three-Eyed Demon chained the King of Negativity’s Sorrow Clone, the Demon Clone, Zeus, Hades, and Kaguya Otsutsuki, then began expanding his body and collapsing Hell to self-destruct.
• Zeus and Hades claimed loyalty to Andrew as the five captives were pulled toward the Three-Eyed Demon.

Andrew directed Zeus to stop the Three-Eyed Demon’s imminent self-destruction by retrieving his soul and flooding his soulless body with negative aura, while secretly using the crisis to advance a scheme against the villains’ backers. The plan saved the other Skyfathers but cost the Lord of Order some Origin Essence, bringing him closer to the Deadpool Curse’s influence.

• Andrew told Zeus how to persuade the villains to retrieve the Three-Eyed Demon’s soul and fill his soulless body with negative aura so he would stop trying to self-destruct.
• Zeus presented Andrew’s plan to Chthon, the Lords of Chaos and Order, and the King of Negativity, who agreed to carry it out.
• The Lords of Chaos and Order used ruined Hell to summon the Three-Eyed Demon’s resisting soul, forcing the Lord of Order to spend Origin Essence.
• The Director of S.W.O.R.D. recognized that the Lord of Order’s sacrifice advanced his goal of strengthening the Deadpool Curse’s hold on him.
• The Lord of Order briefly asked Andrew for a raise under the Curse’s influence, and Wade wrote the same demand on Homelander’s suit, enraging him.

Andrew completed his objectives by capturing the King of Negativity’s Sorrow Clone and sealing the Three-Eyed Demon’s body, while a hidden Curse struck the King of Negativity. The villains prepared to retreat, but Conqueror Kang urged them to continue fighting and said he could keep their other opponents occupied.

• The King of Negativity sent negative energy through ruined Hell into the Three-Eyed Demon, but Andrew’s hidden Curse struck him and the Three-Eyed Demon seized his Sorrow Clone.
• Andrew sealed the Sorrow Clone and transformed the Three-Eyed Demon’s body into a tiny statue, completing his second and third objectives.
• The King of Negativity revealed that the Curse was spreading through his true body and began suppressing it, while the Lord of Order sealed ruined Hell.
• The Lord of Chaos, Chthon, and the others agreed the battle was lost and began arranging a retreat; Zeus mocked their familiar defeat, and the villains argued over their next move.
• Chthon contacted Conqueror Kang, who urged the villains to fight on with seven Skyfathers and offered to occupy Director Newman, Perseus, and A-Train.
