Chapter Summaries

Tao Yu intervened in the succession crisis in King's Landing, showed Eddard Stark the disasters that would have followed his mercy toward Cersei and her children, and turned his attention to the conflict beyond the Wall. Harribel and Grimmjow captured Lupusregina Beta and Dorothea Ernst, and Tao Yu began questioning them about the worlds drawn into the Abyss.

• Joffrey challenged the accusations, but Tao Yu prevented Eddard from defending Cersei and showed him the original timeline, where House Stark suffered repeated tragedies after Eddard let Cersei and her children flee.
• Eddard abandoned his plea for Cersei's family, and Tao Yu asked the Nightwatcher about the blizzard and the forces gathering beyond the Wall.

In the Lands of Always Winter, Ainz Ooal Gown learned that Lupusregina had disappeared and continued investigating the worlds beyond his own, while Harribel's team entered the Kingdom of Re-Estize and Ainz set out as Momon to confirm reports about District 11.

• Tao Yu questioned Lupusregina Beta and Dorothea about the conflict, then sent Harribel and Grimmjow to the Mage Kingdom to collect Martial Skills without provoking the Great Tomb.

• Momonga and Grimmjow left the Royal Capital to talk, while Yondu contacted Harribel and Albedo captured Yondu’s group.
• Momonga and Grimmjow sparred in a graveyard, where Momonga’s spells injured Grimmjow and Grimmjow answered with a powerful King Cero.
• The explosion shook the Royal Capital, and Lana, Lagys, and Evileye recognized that a powerful battle was underway outside the city.

• Momonga withdrew with Albedo and Nabe after receiving Scathach’s information, while Grimmjow remained behind.
• Suzaku told Lelouch that their world should focus on defense if magic could cause destruction on this scale, and Kirito and Asuna arrived at their door.

• Edelstein confronted the group, but Kirito and Asuna killed her after Suzaku's gunfire failed to break her defenses.
• Kirito and the others ran into Yondu and the Ravagers, then faced the Fighting Demon Zero and the remaining members of Six Arms amid confusion over who had kidnapped whom.
• Grimmjow arrived and effortlessly shattered the Fighting Demon Zero, while Yondu crippled the other Six Arms members and Grimmjow destroyed the Skeleton Mage with a Cero.
• Suzaku asked Grimmjow about the explosion outside the city, then knelt and offered to serve him so they could end the war and bring peace; Grimmjow praised his judgment.

Grimmjow recruited Lelouch and took control of the Eight Fingers while Momonga assessed the danger posed by Scathach and her allies. When Grimmjow confronted Warrior Captain Guts to bring him in for Martial Skills, a mech led by Aziz Eindora intervened with a barrage of bullets.

• Gazef Stronoff, Brian Angelius, and Lagys examined the scorched battlefield as they discussed Grimmjow’s strength and awaited the Crimson Lotus team.
• Yondu learned that Guts and Blue Rose were surveying the battlefield, and Grimmjow set out alone to bring the Warrior Captain to his organization before Crimson Lotus returned.
• Grimmjow demanded that Guts come with him and began crushing the group with his spiritual pressure, but Aziz Eindora arrived in a red mech and opened fire.

Grimmjow clashed with the Platinum Dragon Lord, then learned that the world faced a coming invasion by the Burning Legion and arranged to withdraw with the Martial Skill users. Meanwhile, Demigorous joined Sebas at the snowfields, where the Terror Demon King Capibara appeared and welcomed Nazarick’s Death Knights as potential Legion soldiers.

• Aziz attacked Grimmjow, but Grimmjow endured the barrage and fought the Platinum Dragon Lord’s armor inside a World-Severing Barrier until the two agreed to exchange information and cease hostilities.
• Tao Yu learned that Reincarnators had warned of an Abyss invasion by the Burning Legion, then ordered Grimmjow to send people and collected items back and join Harribel, with Scathach watching over them.
• Grimmjow released the two captured Blue Rose members after Guts requested it, while Lagys asked him to protect the kingdom; Grimmjow said Tao Yu would address the danger before leaving.
• Demigorous arrived to assist Sebas at the snowfields and proposed using Death Knights as expendable pressure against Britannia’s forces.
• Terror Demon King Capibara emerged before Sebas and Demigorous, admired the marching Death Knights, and considered them ideal cannon fodder for the Burning Legion.

Demigorous received a Fel Seed from Capibaha, a Burning Legion envoy, and carried it toward Lord Ainz while encountering Harribel and Grimmjow escorting captives. Capibaha later tried to recruit the Arrancars, but Harribel used a Saint's Will Scroll to capture him, and an unseen voice ordered them to bring him back.

• Capibaha offered Demigorous a Fel Seed and described how fel energy could strengthen them across worlds, while warning that the Burning Legion had targeted those worlds.
• Demigorous stored the seed for Lord Ainz to judge and spotted Harribel and Grimmjow escorting Guts, the Warrior Captain, and others through the mountains.

• Grimmjow and Harribel transformed and attacked Capibaha, while their spiritual pressure protected the retreating captives.
• Harribel unleashed a Saint's Will Scroll, and its giant hand overpowered Capibaha's writ, sealed him with the surrounding earth, and left an order to bring him back.

Tao Yu welcomed Warrior Captain and the others, analyzed and Deified their Martial Skills, and interrogated Capibaha about the Burning Legion’s plans and its contacts across the worlds. Meanwhile, the Council Nation’s envoy proposed a joint campaign against the Britannia Empire, leaving the region’s conflict poised to intensify.

• Esdeath escorted Warrior Captain and the others through the blizzard, while Grimmjow and Harribel stayed behind to pursue their mission.

• Tao Yu studied the Martial Skills, combined them into a new skill, and Deified it to strengthen his combat abilities.
• Tao Yu freed Capibaha from his stone seal and pressured him into revealing the Burning Legion’s contacts, plans, and information about the Reincarnators and Explorers.
• Tao Yu gave Capibaha Fel Seeds and ordered him to deliver more to the Mage Kingdom, potentially drawing Prince Mal'Ganis away from his stronghold.
• A Council Nation representative met with a European Union envoy, who proposed uniting the nations to destroy the Britannia Empire’s forces in the region.

Momonga examined the Fel Seed Demigorous brought back and found it could greatly strengthen summoned creatures without overriding his control, then covertly agreed to provide the Burning Legion information in exchange for more fel. Meanwhile, Albedo and Shalltear met Lan Mei and the Council Nation’s representatives to discuss an alliance, but Grimmjow and Harribel’s arrival triggered a high-priority mission for Lan Mei to contact their unseen master.

• Demigorous reported that Capibaha had given him a sealed Fel Seed, and Momonga tested it on a Death Knight, which grew stronger after the Fel energy transformed it and embedded itself in its chest.
• Momonga concluded that his world tacitly permitted the Fel’s use on its own creatures, and he told Demigorous to seek more seeds while agreeing to share the meeting’s contents with the Burning Legion in return.

• Lan Mei received a triggered mission to contact the newcomers’ master and avoid hostility if possible, and the mission took priority over her existing objective to unite forces against the Burning Legion.

Lan Mei’s group pursued an alliance with Nazarick while the Burning Legion’s Kapibaha negotiated with Momonga, who agreed to cooperate against the Reincarnators. As Britannia prepared to fight a four-nation coalition, Charles and VV accepted Mak'bara’s offer to transform their world, and Momonga strengthened his forces with fel magic before the battle.

• Lan Mei offered to teach Nazarick representatives Yagami-ryu Ancient Martial Arts, while Grimmjow told her to finish her current mission before meeting their boss.
• Demigorous reported that Kapibaha had found the Great Tomb of Nazarick, and Momonga chose to receive the Burning Legion envoy rather than show weakness.

• Lan Mei confirmed that the Reincarnators had lured Britannia into action, and Momonga used fel magic to mutate a White Walker and empower his Guardians.

Blue Rose stopped Britannia’s army, but Momonga and the Great Tomb of Nazarick opened a portal for the Burning Legion. Scathach and Esdeath fought the invaders until Tao Yu appeared and erased Mal'Ganis, leaving the battle’s survivors to confront the consequences of the Legion’s arrival.

• Blue Rose unleashed a radiant attack that disabled Britannia’s equipment and scattered its army, then demanded that its soldiers surrender.
• Momonga began a demonic energy ritual, and Albedo, Shalltear, Cocytus, Aura, Mare, and Demigorous attacked the Four-Nation Allied Army while Blue Rose’s team tried to stop them.

• Tao Yu arrived at Britannia’s palace, revealed that he had killed Mal’Ganis, and compelled Charles, VV, and Mak’bara to submit to his terms.

Elsewhere, Isley’s mysterious corruption intensified as Kirito and Asuna rescued prisoners and attacked the occupying troops, leaving them advancing toward further fighting under Mak'bara’s watch.

• After the helicarrier shut down its stealth system, Yokosuka Base fired missiles at it, and Thanos ordered the fel cannons to destroy the base.
