After defeating the Compound V Big Trees, Andrew secured the Tree of Time’s cooperation and kept Kaguya Otsutsuki undercover while their bodies posed as puppets. He sent everyone to clean up and celebrate, then planned to restore civilization and remain in the Scripted World until his alternate identity advanced.

The Alliance considered funding The Intermediary’s bizarre Script despite the risk that their resources would be wasted.

• Andrew explained that the Nine Compound V Great Trees would benefit from his advancement and become bound to him, then declared that his advancement would succeed.
• The defeated Villain Alliance gathered with Chthon, Death, Set, the King of Negativity, the Life Great Tree, Demon, The Intermediary, and Wade, while Chthon revealed that the Tree of Time and the Big Head Commander’s souls remained in The Intermediary’s possession.
• Chthon said the Alliance could gain the advantage in the next Scripted World because The Intermediary had written its Script and they could provide resources and set up backdoors.
• Demon objected to contributing resources again, but Chthon argued they needed to cripple the Mechanical Demon King so they could stop Andrew’s advancement.
• The Intermediary warned that the Scripted World might not be born and Death described its absurd character settings, leaving Demon alarmed that their investment might simply end in an explosion.

The Intermediary persuaded the others to invest in his absurd Scripted World, while Demon demanded equal contributions and the right to design one cheating method. The group agreed to set one cheating condition each, but Chthon remained worried that the Mechanical Demon King would exploit The Intermediary’s refusal to favor his allies.

• Chthon and Death convinced Demon that the Mechanical Demon King would exploit or dismantle him if he won, and Demon agreed to invest as long as everyone contributed equally.
• Demon insisted on personally designing one cheating method, and The Intermediary allowed any design while warning that a real world would alter the methods through correction.

• Chthon proposed that everyone set one cheating condition, and Set, Death, the King of Negativity, and Demon agreed.
• Chthon urged The Intermediary not to let the Mechanical Demon King freeload, but The Intermediary refused to be persuaded and dismissed Chthon’s appeal.

Death and Chthon’s group feared that the increasingly powerful Intermediary might turn against them, but they agreed to support the Intermediary’s New World and revive the Tree of Time. After reading the Intermediary’s Script, they questioned its absurd plot and whether it could help them win.

• Death said the Intermediary had grown powerful enough to silence Wade and warned that they might attack Chthon’s group if they went mad.
• Chthon asked whether the King of Negativity had received the souls; the King said the Tree of Time’s soul was real, while the others were fake.

• Chthon proposed giving resources to the Intermediary to build the New World and preparing against the Mechanical Demon King.
• Death shared the Intermediary’s Script, and Demon, Set, and the King of Negativity criticized its implausible plot and doubted it could bring them victory.

The King of Negativity and the others discussed the chaotic Script and prepared to devise cheating methods for the New World. When the King of Negativity and the Life Great Tree tried to revive the Tree of Time, a Curse placed by the Mechanical Demon King spread through the Tree’s soul, and they discovered the Big Head Commander had been cursed too.

• Death warned that the absurd Script becoming real could support the Mechanical Demon King’s claim that they were comic book characters, but Chthon urged everyone not to dwell on it.
• Chthon explained that the Scripted World would be fused with several real worlds, and the group discussed how its unpredictable personalities might limit the Mechanical Demon King’s schemes.
• The King of Negativity agreed to revive the Tree of Time while the others prepared resources and considered cheating methods, though they could not work out how to stop the Mechanical Demon King from freeloading.
• The King of Negativity and the Life Great Tree attempted to revive the Tree of Time with Soul Water, but smiling faces appeared on his soul as a Curse began spreading.
• The King of Negativity and the Life Great Tree suppressed the Curse but could not remove it, and the King of Negativity discovered a Curse seed in the Big Head Commander’s soul.
• The Life Great Tree concluded that the Mechanical Demon King had likely cursed them and told the King of Negativity to find Chthon.

King of Negativity and Chthon learned that Curses had infected the Tree of Time’s soul and the Life Great Tree’s soul, then discovered Andrew had arranged the trap. Andrew offered to remove the Curse in exchange for a free cheating method in the Scripted World, leaving King of Negativity to decide whether to pay.

• King of Negativity went to Chthon, who discovered inactive Curse seeds in both the Tree of Time’s soul and the Life Great Tree’s soul.
• Chthon and King of Negativity questioned The Intermediary, who contacted Andrew and learned that fake souls carrying Curses had infected the Tree of Time’s soul.

• King of Negativity asked The Intermediary to pretend to accept Andrew’s offer but keep the cheating method out of the New World, and The Intermediary dismissed him.

King of Negativity agreed to supply resources for the New Scripted World in exchange for the curse-breaking method. The Intermediary then asked Chthon to create a controllable, immortal copy of Wade as protection while he pursued the truth.

• The Intermediary gave King of Negativity the curse-breaking method after Andrew told him how to break the curse and asked him to keep Andrew’s cheating method secret from Chthon and the others.

• The Intermediary asked Chthon to replicate Wade’s Immortality, and Chthon initially said the task was impossible.
• The Intermediary explained that Wade could not die because readers wanted him to live, and proposed making a new body from Wade’s DNA and transferring part of his consciousness into it.
• The Intermediary said the new Wade would let him control an immortal safeguard against the chance that the Mechanical Demon King’s scheme drove him mad, and offered Chthon the curse-breaking method in exchange for help.

The Intermediary and Chthon completed a new body for Wade and transferred his consciousness into it. As Wade woke, The Intermediary proposed borrowing the body to keep himself from going mad, while his search for the Truth of the World remained his priority.

• Chthon and The Intermediary worked together to replicate Wade as Chthon repeatedly tried and failed to tamper with the new body.
• After Wade's consciousness was transferred, The Intermediary gave Chthon the method to break the curse and sent him away.
• Wade broke free of The Intermediary's control and joked with him about lending his new body in exchange for a salary and a condition.
• The Intermediary discussed how audience affection and popularity worked with Wade, who explained that he preserved his character while seeking attention through major events.
• The Intermediary considered using Wade's body to remain half-mad rather than lose himself completely, while continuing to focus on discovering the Truth of the World.

The Intermediary explained that Wade was loved for his unconventional humor and adventures, then warned him that comic-book characters were trapped by audience expectations. After the conversation was erased from Wade’s memory, Andrew observed The Intermediary’s rapid evolution and judged that they remained within his plan.

• The Intermediary told Wade that audiences liked his wit, humor, and adventures more than his appearance, and warned that retiring with a wife would end in tragedy.
• Wade grew unsettled by the idea that a comic-book character could never escape the audience’s expectations, so The Intermediary erased his memory of their conversation.

The King of Negativity resurrected Big Head Commander Zatanna and the Tree of Time, then sought their advice on retaliation and choosing a cheating method for the New Scripted World. After reading the absurd Script, Zatanna prepared to analyze it, while the King of Negativity comforted the newly resurrected Tree of Time.

• The King of Negativity and the Life Great Tree lifted the Curse on Big Head Commander Zatanna and resurrected her before the Tree of Time.
• Zatanna apologized to the King of Negativity, then advised him to secretly prepare a way to threaten Earth as a fallback Trump Card.
• The King of Negativity asked Zatanna what cheating method to request, and she suggested waiting until she had read and analyzed the Script.
• Zatanna read the Script written by Wade and The Intermediary and found it absurd, while the King of Negativity said he doubted it had any logic.
• The King of Negativity and the Life Great Tree resurrected the Tree of Time, and the King of Negativity urged it not to lose hope after their defeat.

The Tree of Time and the Big Head Commander each secretly plotted against the other, unaware that Andrew had concealed their shared allegiance. While the Tree of Time struggled through the New Scripted World script, Chthon urged it to win the King of Negativity’s trust and report his plans.

• The Tree of Time and the Big Head Commander separately considered eliminating each other before turning against the King of Negativity, while Andrew kept their allegiance secret.
• The King of Negativity told the Tree of Time about the New Scripted World, and the Tree of Time began reading its script to find a cheating method.
• The Tree of Time found the script’s events and logic incomprehensible and wondered whether the world could become real, but forced itself to keep reading.
• Chthon contacted the Tree of Time, claimed he also controlled the Life Great Tree’s avatar, and ordered it to report the King of Negativity’s plans and show him more respect.
• Chthon explained that the King of Negativity wanted a subordinate rather than an equal, and the Tree of Time realized this might explain his growing closeness to the Big Head Commander.

Chthon and his allies prepared to create a New Scripted World using Andrew’s Magic Array, while the Tree of Time accepted Chthon’s offer of a broader world. Andrew appeared as a projection during the final preparations, and the King of Negativity privately asked Chthon whether he had found a way to deal with The Intermediary.

• The Tree of Time decided it had done nothing wrong by partnering with the King of Negativity and agreed to help Chthon win the war in exchange for reaching a broader world.
• Chthon and his allies gathered the resources to open a New Scripted World, and about a month later they placed Wade at the center of Andrew’s Magic Array.

• The Intermediary explained that Andrew would not act before the Scripted World was born, and Andrew said he expected them to be on the same side afterward.
• The King of Negativity secretly asked Chthon whether he had found a way to deal with The Intermediary.

The others remained wary of Andrew’s scheme as he warned them to avoid his loyal soldiers.

• Chthon and the others discussed the Mechanical Demon King’s motives and warned Demon not to trust any information he offered.
• Andrew told Demon that he planned to bring three thousand ordinary people into the dungeon world to help him earn money and acquire supplies.
• The Intermediary explained that the Magic Array could accommodate many people, but large groups risked provoking the World Will, and he did not know how Andrew would conceal them.
• Andrew suggested that Demon could bring Demons into the world too, then teased him for having allies who would not share their methods.
• The King of Negativity challenged Andrew’s claim, while the Tree of Time asked whether revealing his method put him at risk.
• Andrew boasted that his three thousand loyal soldiers would protect him and warned the others that they could die if he found them.

Andrew’s threat of bringing three thousand people into the New Scripted World left Chthon and the others wary and confused about his intentions. As the Magic Array neared activation, Demon devised a cheating method that would let a hundred soul fragments retain connected consciousness and presented it to the Intermediary.

• Andrew inspected the Magic Array while Wade acted fawningly and the others worried that the Mechanical Demon King could target them with three thousand helpers.
• The Tree of Time questioned whether the Magic Array could reveal their locations, and Chthon argued they should seek a powerful NPC’s backing once they entered the New Scripted World.
• The group wondered why Andrew had revealed his Trump Card, since it might prompt them to take precautions that would help them survive.
• The Tree of Time warned everyone not to speak with Andrew, and Demon set aside the idea of asking him about his cheating method.
• Demon realized they could split their soul into a hundred points of light and use World Power to create a hundred versions of themself.
• Demon told the Intermediary that every soul fragment should preserve complete consciousness and remain mentally connected to the others.
