Chapter Summaries

Andrew unleashed a devastating attack as the Destiny Divine Ability faded, while the King of Negativity tried to redirect it onto Hades using Shadow of Space.

• The King of Negativity sacrificed his believers and Negative Commanders to survive, but only a wisp of consciousness remained.
• A voice announced that Hades had been defeated and Poseidon’s faction had won two Pocket Dimensions and the King of the Underworld Divine Spark.

Andrew’s plan had instead made the King of Negativity’s main body inherit the Godhood, setting up his own next move.

• Poseidon wondered how he had won and failed to notice the ownerless King of the Underworld Divine Spark.
• The King of Negativity realized the King of Abilities had sought the Divine Spark and urged Poseidon and Iron Great Tree to stop Andrew’s consciousness.

• The King of Negativity planned to make a clone and subdue his opponents, unaware that Andrew intended to control him and take the victory for himself.
• The Pocket Dimension’s energy began condensing a clone for the King of Negativity.

King of Negativity awakened after fusing with the King of the Underworld Divine Spark and found the Pocket Dimension empty. Andrew explained his plan to his allies and arranged a cover story for King of Negativity’s return, leaving Hades eager for revenge against them.

After rescuing Hades from the Pocket Dimension, Andrew brought him to the Mysterious Crystal and urged him to grow stronger for the coming battle. Meanwhile, Zatanna convinced the King of Negativity to see his defeat of the King of Abilities as a victory and prepare for another fight.

• Andrew brought Hades into the Mysterious Crystal and explained that it would become the core of a new, stronger body for the youth.
• Hades complained that he had lost the King of the Underworld Divine Spark and could not restore his former strength, so Andrew told him to have confidence and improve quickly.

Andrew made Hades choose a way to strengthen his Death Rule by experiencing death rather than gaining a Mind Rule that would turn him into a hot-blooded muscle man. After Hades died in a staged accident, Andrew explained that the method would only work if Hades truly believed each death was real, and that he might need to die millions of times.

• Andrew offered Hades a Mind Rule that would make him stronger but gradually turn him into a hot-blooded muscle man, and Hades refused.

• Hades returned as a point of light and demanded an explanation from Andrew.
• Andrew told Hades that repeatedly experiencing death could deepen his understanding of the Death Rule, but only if he believed he would truly die, and that he would need to die millions of times.

Andrew told Hades he would train him by making him experience real deaths repeatedly so he could master the Death Rule before the decisive battle at Sea Fortress. Hades reluctantly agreed, and Andrew promised the training would let him defeat the King of Negativity, with even harsher training as a fallback.

• Hades explained that repeated deaths would eventually stop feeling real, even if Andrew erased his memories, but Andrew praised his reasoning and said the problem had a solution.
• Andrew explained that the chair held real death experiences gathered from Earth’s Grim Reapers, so Hades could repeatedly experience them without his instincts growing accustomed to them.
• Andrew said Hades would undergo up to hundreds of millions of real death experiences, gain strength in time for the decisive battle at Sea Fortress, and avenge himself by killing the King of Negativity.
• Hades worried that he could not defeat the King of Negativity’s next avatar, but Andrew promised the training would make him strong enough and threatened to intensify it if it did not.

Andrew sent Hades into Death Reincarnation so he could share Hades's insights into death and the Death Rules. Meanwhile, the Iron Great Tree told Chthon about the King of Negativity's victory in the Pocket Dimension and secured their continued alliance, though Chthon insisted they prioritize defeating the King of Abilities.

• Chthon agreed to keep their alliance but declared that they should not act against the King of Negativity until they had dealt with the King of Abilities.
