Chapter Summaries

The Mastermind fused with Dr. Reed, Human Torch, and The Thing, then completed its transformation while Andrew let it stall for time. Andrew prepared to face Hell Will at full strength and challenged God to watch, declaring that God would be next.

• The Mastermind persuaded Dr. Reed, Human Torch, and The Thing to fuse with it, promising that Earth would remain unharmed.
• The Mastermind took control of their shared body, while Andrew revealed he had prepared to preserve the Fantastic Three's Soul Cores for their independent revival.
• Andrew let the Mastermind stall by threatening the Demon Kings with the Fantastic Three's fate, and Galacta's popcorn and Angela's questions added to its humiliation.
• Angela asked God whether they should intervene, and God urged her to enter the Angel Pool after the war to escape Andrew's control.
• The black pillar of light dispersed as the Mastermind reached its peak power and declared that Andrew would die.
• Andrew tossed aside the Spear of Chaos, announced that he would defeat Hell Will, and challenged God to watch before facing him next.

Andrew instantly killed the Mastermind with a Death-based ability, shocking Hell’s Demon Kings, God, and the observers from the Main Universe. The Intermediary then suspected Andrew had become the protagonist of the Ability Era, a possibility the Compound V Big Trees privately recognized.

• God opened passages between Heaven, the Human World, and Hell, while Andrew announced he would demonstrate his power before God and Hell Will.
• The Mastermind formed a Minor Hell to defend himself, and Andrew summoned eight Time Clones to join him in attacking.
• Andrew’s nine selves used Death Fate to bring the Minor Hell’s collapse forward, then killed the Mastermind with Death Threads.
• Angela, the Demon Kings, God, and The Intermediary were stunned by Andrew’s overwhelming victory, and The Intermediary said only their original bodies could now challenge him.
• The King of Negativity questioned Andrew’s rapid growth, and The Intermediary suggested he had replaced the Compound V Big Trees as the Ability Era’s protagonist.

After killing the Mastermind, Andrew forced Hell Will to surrender and summoned the Mechanical Demon King to claim Hell’s King’s Seal. God discovered that the Mechanical Demon King had already eroded a third of the World Core and faced a challenge to either accept his terms or fight without a home-field advantage.

• Iron Man, Susan, Spider-Gwen, and the others attacked the Intermediary and the Demons while Andrew’s forces pressed their advantage.
• Andrew celebrated the Mastermind’s defeat, then challenged God to a coming battle; God departed with Angela and agreed to wait for him in Heaven.
• Andrew threatened to damage Hell by crashing the Demon Kings’ Subordinate Spaces into it, forcing Hell Will to submit and produce Hell’s King’s Seal.
• Zero Demon King planned to claim the seal if Andrew died, but Andrew summoned the Mechanical Demon King, who used a Data Stream to claim it instead.
• God discovered that the Mechanical Demon King had eroded one-third of the World Core using World's Favor and learned that God no longer held greater World Authority.
• The Mechanical Demon King told God he intended to become the world’s owner and offered to keep God on as its administrator.

The Mechanical Demon King and God agreed to settle control of the world through a fair battle between God and the King of Abilities, with the loser bound by their terms. After becoming Lord of Hell, Andrew arranged the Fantastic Three’s revival and demanded that The Intermediary’s group continue funding the World Summoning Magic Array, threatening them when Demon claimed they were broke.

• The Mechanical Demon King proposed that God fight the King of Abilities, and they agreed that the winner would determine the world’s fate and God’s future role.
• God addressed Angela and the Angel Legion, declaring that he would not lose to the King of Abilities.
• The Mechanical Demon King Datafied Hell, granted Andrew its authority, and revived the Fantastic Three at Andrew’s request.
• Andrew confronted The Intermediary and the others in space and told them to keep supplying the World Summoning Magic Array for a new world.
• Demon said the group had exhausted its resources, so Andrew threatened them for having no remaining value to him.

Andrew forced the Villain Alliance to fund the Magic Array for three months, then prepared to fight God by fusing Hell’s Demon Kings into himself. With Galacta’s help and their restored strength, he became powerful enough to suppress the fusion and fight at full strength.

• Andrew made the Villain Alliance sign a Contract to keep the Magic Array running for three months, then sent them away through a gate.
• Iron Man, Susan, Wade, and Spider-Woman discussed the Fantastic Three’s failure and Mechanical Demon King’s theory about worlds depending on their protagonists.
• Iron Man considered telling The Intermediary about Wade’s claim that killing every superhero and supervillain could open a path to Reality World.
• Andrew used Infinity Fusion to absorb the Demon Kings and form a Body of Ten Thousand Demons, but Galacta warned he might not be able to control them.
• Andrew restored his and Galacta’s strength, allowing her to help suppress the Demon Kings and enabling him to fight at full strength.

Andrew fought God in a remote region of space while angels and his allies watched through live broadcasts. He used his Law of Transaction ability to erase their weapons and trade away their strength, suppressing the Demon Kings as they resisted; the battle remained underway.

• Andrew threw the Spear of Chaos at God, and the weapons collided before both fighters moved their battle to empty space.
• Andrew and God arranged live broadcasts so the angels and Tony and the others could watch their fight.
• Andrew and God summoned enormous constructs, then Andrew used his Law of Transaction ability to make both constructs disappear.
• Andrew traded his Spear of Chaos and God's God Armament, then began trading away his own strength and the Demon Kings' power to reduce God's strength.
• The Demon Kings struggled to escape Andrew, so Galacta helped him suppress and send them away.

Andrew used the Demon King's Marks and an elaborate combination of abilities to weaken God and force him to summon Heaven's power. He began making Heaven and Hell perish together, then revealed that he also controlled the Depths of Hell.

• As the Demon King's Marks vanished, Andrew and God weakened, but Andrew used Ganata's Throne to absorb holy light and fire Energy Pillars at God.
• Andrew attacked God with enormous cosmic-energy and holy-light palms, corrupting one with hell power and multiplying the strikes through Pym Replication.
• While the Archangels argued over Andrew's attack, Tony and Constantine deduced that he had combined replication with Pym particles.
• God summoned a Heaven Phantom to shield himself, and Andrew used the resulting connection to begin destroying Heaven and Hell with the Ability of Mutual Destruction.
• God warned that Hell's destruction would disrupt the universe, but Andrew said it would be restored after their battle and revealed that he owned the Depths of Hell.

Andrew revealed that he had traded Hell and the Depths of Hell for Heaven, leaving both realms gone and the universe unstable. He and God maintained their Skyfather levels through their respective reality-altering abilities, then began a decisive spear duel that remained evenly matched as they turned to rule abilities.

• Andrew told God that the loss of Heaven had removed his trump card, but God used the Commandment Divine Technique to remain at the Skyfather level.
• As the Demon Kings disappeared, Andrew's Ability of Mutual Destruction drained his own energy, so he used Word is Law to keep himself at the Skyfather level.
• Heaven and the Depths of Hell vanished, prompting Angela to warn the angels to evacuate and God to urge Andrew to finish their battle quickly.
• Andrew summoned an energy spear while God combined the nine Gates of Heaven into a Spear of Holy Light, and they clashed amid shattered space.
• Neither Andrew nor God gained the advantage in their spear fight, so they began using rule abilities, and God commanded that Andrew's body could not move.

Andrew fought God with a Law Sphere, an Iron Planet created through Illusion, and a summoned version of the Main Universe’s God. The Iron Planet and Demon Legion battled in the void as God sent an Angel Greatsword toward the Black God.

• Andrew used his Time Device to evade God’s spear, dispelled God’s Commandments, and struck Him with a Law Sphere, but God escaped through a Holy Light Substitute.
• God summoned a Demon Legion of Angels formed from Holy Light, and Andrew deployed an Iron Planet that blasted the Angels with its cannons.
• Constantine identified the Iron Planet as an illusion, and Andrew explained how Illusion could make unreal creations temporarily real and let imagination replace physical rules.
• Andrew used Word-is-Law and Illusion to summon a Black God, explaining that the figure drew on the aura of the Main Universe’s God.
• God gathered the light left by fallen Angels into a planet-splitting Angel Greatsword and sent it toward the Black God.

Andrew used Black God's Wish Rule, his Word is Law Ability, and Resentment Energy from the past to break God's Commandment Divine Technique and kill him. God revived through Gabriel, but Andrew's trapped spear cursed him, leaving God transformed into a Black God while Andrew sent the Angels away from Earth.

• Black God burned everything he had to strip God of Skyfather status while Andrew used Word is Law and time-summoned Resentment Energy to bring God down.
• Andrew's spear killed God, but God reappeared through Archangel Gabriel and explained that devout believers allowed him to be reborn.
• God agreed to continue the contest and limit himself to three rebirths, then narrowly avoided a Dark Shadow ambush with his spear.
• Andrew revealed the Dark Shadow had been an illusion and that he had cursed God's spear; the curse spread across God's body and turned him into a Black God.
• Andrew used Word is Law to transfer the Angels, including Angela, into space outside Earth, while Iron Man and Wade joked with Susan about the spectacle.

Angela stopped the Angels from threatening Earth while Andrew explained how his Curse disabled God's Divine Power. As Andrew froze God's Death Thread and began freezing God completely, God faced defeat with no easy way to escape.

• Constantine and Wade approached the Angels and were sent flying, while the Angels argued over how to help God.
• An Angel suggested threatening Earth to force the King of Abilities to act, but Angela killed him and warned that God would never approve.
• Andrew explained that his Curse came from remnants of God's body and was helping God's Divine Power evolve while preventing its use.
• God prepared to kill himself and reincarnate in another Archangel, but Andrew froze God's Death Thread to prevent the resurrection.
• Andrew used Absolute Freeze to freeze God from the feet upward, leaving God to consider using believers' Faith Power to break free.

Andrew defeated God, who conceded the world and left Gabriel’s body to freeze himself until he could begin anew in the Multiversal Universe. With God gone, Andrew restrained the Angels, prepared for the Mechanical Demon King to datafy the world, and promised Susan that his next step would save the Fantastic Four World and revive the Fantastic Three.

• God admitted defeat after Andrew explained how he had prepared to counter the sacrifice of believers, then left Gabriel’s body and froze himself to transform and eventually travel to the Multiversal Universe.
• Andrew agreed to let Angela manage the world and told the Mechanical Demon King that God had withdrawn; the Mechanical Demon King said it could soon datafy the world.
• Michael urged the Angels to rescue God, but Andrew trapped the Angels in his palm, and Gabriel entered to calm them at Andrew’s request.
• Andrew declared the battle over and sent the group back to Earth to handle the aftermath and celebrate while the Fantastic Three were revived.
• Andrew stayed behind with Susan, who asked whether his plan could save the Fantastic Four World, and he assured her that it could.

Andrew freed Angela from his control and appointed her to govern Heaven and Hell while he returned to Earth. At Stark Tower, he told the revived Fantastic Three that the Mechanical Demon King's plan had restored their world's vitality, but it would need to survive waves of disasters to keep existing.

• Andrew removed the measure controlling Angela, gave her authority over the Demon Legion and Hell, and restored her ability to become an Archangel as well as a Demon King.
• Andrew ended the Ability of Mutual Destruction, restored Heaven and Hell, and ordered the Demon Kings to obey his rules.
• Andrew gave Angela the Spear of Chaos and the Spear of Holy Light to help her control Hell and Heaven.
• Andrew returned to Earth as people resumed their lives after the disaster, while aftermath work continued without him.
• At Stark Tower, Andrew told the revived Fantastic Three that their world had regained its vitality and would survive if they handled the disasters that would follow its fusion with the Fantastic Four World.

Andrew arranged for the Fantastic Four to handle future disasters while Susan and others left or took on new roles, then prepared to wait for World Fusion. Meanwhile, the Villain Alliance struggled to pay for a Magic Array and debated how to stop Andrew from gaining another world.

• Andrew told Dr. Reed that he could keep the protagonist role if he and the Fantastic Four could withstand future disasters, and Dr. Reed accepted the responsibility.
• Andrew advised Susan to train in Hell or Heaven and let Mindy serve as the Fantastic Four's backup; Spider-Gwen departed, while Wade, Iron Man, Cassandra, and Galacta agreed to return to the End of Time with him.
• Andrew expelled Constantine's consciousness, then offered Romais a chance to join the Fantastic Four; Romais chose to return home and comfort his wife first.
• Andrew waited for World Fusion and thought about gaining the Fantastic Four World, while the Villain Alliance cursed him as the Magic Array consumed their treasures.
• Demon, The Intermediary, and Zeus argued over the Magic Array and considered using it against Andrew, but Demon warned that Chthon's earlier attempt to trap King of Abilities had failed.

The King of Negativity lured Zeus's Three Siblings and Black Dragon into a trap, hoping to capture them and stop the King of Abilities from taking over their protagonist identities. Star God arrived to help them escape, but the King of Negativity's forces disrupted their retreat and blasted Star God away.

• The King of Negativity accused Zeus's Three Siblings and Black Dragon of serving the King of Abilities, then surrounded them with Kaguya Otsutsuki and the Tree of Time.
• The Intermediary and the others agreed to help the King of Negativity in exchange for resources, and Zeus confirmed that he had joined the King of Abilities.
• Star God arrived and used his Destiny Divine Ability to suppress the attackers while he and Black Dragon opened a Space Channel.
• The Tree of Time slowed the Space Channel, but Star God countered with starlight as the King of Negativity summoned chains and negative Phantom Images from Hell.
• Zeus's Three Siblings and Star God fought back while the Space Channel formed, but skulls wrapped around it and a pillar of light blasted Star God away.

Andrew used the Magic Array to seize all Nine Compound V Great Trees, including the Tree of Time, and sent them toward the next world. The King of Negativity and Kaguya Otsutsuki learned that captured clones would awaken there, while Chthon and Immortal Kang explained that their escape had cost them the promised resources.

• Chthon and Immortal Kang returned from Immortal Kang's Universe, battered, and joined the fight against the Compound V Big Trees.
• Andrew activated the Magic Array, whose chains began pulling the Compound V Big Trees into it.
• Andrew used his clones and a deceptive giant hand to overcome Chthon, The Intermediary, and Kaguya Otsutsuki, sending the Tree of Time, the King of Negativity's clone, Kaguya Otsutsuki's clone, and the other trees into the Magic Array.
• The King of Negativity revealed that his true body and Kaguya Otsutsuki's true body remained behind, and the two discussed the danger of their captured clones awakening in the New World.
• Chthon suggested destroying the Magic Array and extracting power from the clones, but the King of Negativity and Kaguya Otsutsuki opposed risking the trees.
• Immortal Kang and Chthon recounted escaping the Conqueror Kangs, and Immortal Kang admitted that the promised Universes and resources were no longer available.

Chthon and Immortal Kang convinced the Villain Alliance to fund a surprise attack on abandoned Universes, then the group agreed to use Negative Energy to turn the Magic Array’s New World into a Doomsday World. They prepared to challenge King of Abilities, though The Intermediary remained uncertain about what the New World really was.

• Chthon proposed that Immortal Kang use secret Universe coordinates to sacrifice Universes where life had gone extinct, and Immortal Kang said he needed resources to repair his Battle Armor first.
• Chthon persuaded Demon, The Intermediary, and the others to invest in Immortal Kang’s plan, while he and Immortal Kang privately acknowledged that they had staged their earlier hesitation.
• King of Negativity insisted that the Magic Array containing the seven Compound V Big Trees had to be dealt with, and Chthon warned that King of Abilities could use it to control them.
• Kaguya Otsutsuki relayed Andrew’s suggestion to inject Negative Energy into the Magic Array and make the New World a Doomsday World where part of the Negative Legion could revive.
• King of Negativity explained that the Negative Legion might help defeat King of Abilities and possibly escape to the Main Universe, and the alliance agreed to try the plan.
• The Intermediary reluctantly agreed, still wanting both to avoid the New World and to enter it to find evidence against King of Abilities.

Chthon and Immortal Kang settled on sacrificing the Uninhabited Universe to empower the Great Demon God, while Andrew prepared the New World as a Doomsday World with a deliberately absurd Script designed to destabilize The Intermediary. Andrew also explained how King of Negativity’s Negative Energy would connect the New World’s Depths of Hell to the Main Universe and help him defeat King of Negativity.

• Immortal Kang proposed sacrificing the Uninhabited Universe to the New World so the Great Demon God could become its god, and Chthon enthusiastically agreed.
• Chthon assured Demon that they would harvest the Uninhabited Universe’s resources before sacrificing it, and Demon accepted the plan.
• Kaguya Otsutsuki asked Andrew why he was turning the New World into a Doomsday World, and Andrew said it was part of his original design and would help him complete his objectives.
• Andrew told Kaguya Otsutsuki the Script of a New York office worker who gained the King of Abilities, killed the goddess and her boss, and set out to end the apocalypse.
• Andrew explained that he wanted the unrealistic Script to make The Intermediary question reality, while Negative Energy would link the New World’s Depths of Hell to the Main Universe.
• Andrew told Kaguya Otsutsuki to continue acting as an undercover agent and began planning how many women to include in his Script.

Andrew prepared a deliberately formulaic Dragon King Script to trap The Intermediary while the Mechanical Demon King fused the Fantastic Four World with another Universe and studied the process. After the fusion, the group dispersed to pursue their own goals, and Wade asked Andrew to bring him to the next world, revealing that he had enlisted Constantine for something.

• Kaguya Otsutsuki asked Andrew whether his absurd Script could become the Real World and whether the Great Demon God's arrival would affect the Mechanical Demon King, and Andrew reassured her.
• The Mechanical Demon King began fusing a Universe with the Fantastic Four World while Andrew, Iron Man, Dr. Reed, Susan, Doctor Doom, and others observed and studied the fusion.
• Andrew rejected Alice's suggestion to add tragic twists to the Script and ordered her to keep it simple, absurd, and centered on the protagonist.
• Chthon and the others prepared their Magic Array, while Immortal Kang went to an Uninhabited Universe to prepare an altar for a sacrifice to the New World and Mephisto.
• After several months, World Fusion was complete; Dr. Reed returned to pursue a Skyfather breakthrough, Susan went to Hell to train, and the others left to attend to their own affairs.
• Wade asked Andrew to take him to the next world and said he had visited the DC Universe to get Constantine to do something for him.

Andrew prepared Wade to enter the New World and had Alice design characters for the women Wade had approached, while Chthon’s faction organized its own entry and plans. The chapter left both groups making final preparations for the New World’s creation.

• Wade told Andrew that Constantine had invited Wonder Woman’s friends to join him in the New World, and Andrew denied knowing about the plan while erasing its memories and Fate trajectory.
• Andrew gave Wade Star God wood that would draw its holder into the New World, and Wade planned to share pieces with Barbara and the others.
• Andrew instructed Alice to design characters for the women and discussed a New World storyline in which a protagonist would subdue the Nine Compound V Great Trees.
• Chthon explained that he and Immortal Kang would sacrifice the Uninhabited Universe so Great Demon God could force a group of them into the New World as local inhabitants.
• The Intermediary, Death, Set, and Demon agreed to enter with Chthon, while King of Negativity and Life Great Tree stayed behind and urged the others to seek Tree of Time, their avatars, and Iron Great Tree.
• Demon and the others sacrificed treasures, while Immortal Kang planned to include the Doomsday Gene so a research organization would appear in the New World.
