Beelzebub and Yana received warnings and offers from powerful Devil race leaders as Figo established himself on Pistis Star and planned to pursue Beelzebub. The balance of power shifted when Hram attacked the Celestial Dragons’ forces, killing the Fifth Divine General and lighting the fifth lamp.

• Rolet warned Long Yue that Hram was gathering the Devil race in the Bayi Star Cluster and asked Figo to help; Figo agreed to appear later to pursue Beelzebub.

• Poole and the Devil race patrol mistook Yifu’s claim that he had no children for a tragic loss, while Figo kept his disguise and observed their confidence in Hram’s forces.
• The patrol brought Figo to the Devil race’s occupied estate on Planet Six, where Celestial Dragon rebels were chained and tortured.

• Figo saw a Devil race member beating a Longarm Tribe former slave cook for spitting into Yana’s food, while the onlookers called for revenge against other races.
• Figo told Yana that the Devil race would almost certainly lose because other races would turn against them once the Celestial Dragons weakened.

• Nimer said Figo was bold for lacking the reverence others had for Mother, and asked Hram to let him meet Figo from a distance.

Yifu urged Yana to restrain the Devils from harming innocents and proposed reorganizing their forces, while his clashes with Donkmei’s family exposed the weakness of their command structure. Yana agreed to pass his ideas to the Progenitors, and Yifu returned to see her once more that night.

• Yifu told Yana that Donkmei had threatened a cook and his child to prepare a feast, and argued that the Devils should protect innocents and avoid turning other races against them.
• Yana recognized echoes of Yato in Yifu’s ideals and heard him say he could endure Ability Users until the Devils defeated the Celestial Dragons.
• Yifu admitted that he had broken Donkmei’s leg after she insulted him and nearly choked a child, so Yana ordered him to stay in his residence while Donkmei was treated.
• Donkmei’s children and subordinates attacked Yifu, but he subdued five Devils, and Yana dispersed the gathering and ordered him to release them.
• Yifu criticized the Devils’ Progenitor system and proposed grouping warriors by ability; Yana said she would relay his ideas to the Progenitors.
• Yana saw Yifu again that night and asked what he wanted this time.

• Teach greeted Figo and said he had come to tell him Hram’s plans.

Figo met Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach, a newly transformed Demon Prince, and accompanied him and Nimer on a tour of Hram’s descendants. Nimer fled using an unexplained ability, while Teach invited Figo to his home for a feast, saying they seemed to get along.

• Figo recognized Teach and learned that Hram had made him her adopted son by giving him the Devil race’s bloodline twelve years earlier.

• Hram ate the melon left for Eri and urged Nimer to stop blaming himself for the deaths of his siblings.
• Hram told Nimer that he would face Yasheng in the war and asked what he thought of Yifu; Nimer said he had noticed nothing unusual but disliked Teach.
• Nimer left the room, recalling Eri and the two other siblings who had once sat in the empty chairs.
• Days later, Nimer sat ahead of Talbook at a Devil race gathering while Teach introduced Yifu and other leaders to those around him.
• Figo observed that the Devil race had seventeen four-lamp Kings, with Lord Isol bringing the total present to eighteen, and judged the assembled forces too strong for him to challenge.
• Hram, Acheris, and Beelzebub entered the gathering, and the Devil race members stood and hailed their Progenitors.

Figo attended Hram’s war briefing among the Devil race and steered Teach into choosing Beelzebub’s army by warning that Gaston Figo might join the conflict. The Devil race prepared to advance toward Celestial Dragon Star along three routes, while Teach reluctantly accepted Figo’s advice.

• Beelzebub glanced toward Yana as the Devil race gathered to hear Hram’s address.
• Hram recounted the Devil race’s suffering under the Celestial Dragons and rallied the crowd to fight without relying on other races.

• Figo questioned the plan’s risks and suggested that Teach follow Beelzebub rather than compete for a place in Hram’s army.
• Figo warned Teach that Beelzebub’s past conflict with Gaston Figo could bring the King of the Blue Sea into the war, and Teach agreed to follow Beelzebub.

The Celestial Dragons discovered that the Devil race had gathered on uninhabited planet eight, but the Devil race used a fake Hram to draw their forces into a trap while its fleet escaped. The fighting spread across space as the two sides clashed, and Figo urged Teach’s unit to continue toward its destination.

• Bai Ji predicted danger for the Eighth Divine General, prompting the Second Divine General to warn Divice Wan that the Devil race was likely on planet eight.

Ateresen arrived at Fuer Star after the Devil race destroyed the Celestial Dragons' fuel factory and killed Yali, while Prince Tutu surrendered to Kexi. Figo then redirected Teach and the Devil race forces to help Kexi confront Ateresen.

• The Second Divine General ordered an investigation of the Bayi Star Cluster, warnings to the domain's factions, and renewed efforts to contact Gaston Figo and the Blue Sea.

• Figo ordered Teach and the Devil race forces to change course for Fuer Star and help Kexi face Ateresen.

Prince Tutu watched Ateresen kill Yali and fight the Devil race forces on Fuer Star while reinforcements raced to help Kexi. Teach and Figo teleported ahead, but Teach grew suspicious of Figo’s strange behavior as they continued toward the battle.

• Ateresen killed Yali in front of Prince Tutu and casually fought Kexi and the Devil race warriors as Celestial Dragon reinforcements arrived.
