Chapter Summaries

Azer gave Mu Chang You Dou a one-use bracelet that could force his Sacred Gear toward Balance Breaker and gave Rias another bracelet to help her sealed half-vampire Servant control his power. He then decided to confront Himejima Zhu Nai’s father that night, while Black Song appeared as Ta Cheng Xiao Mao’s new teacher.

• Azer explained that the bracelet could force Mu Chang You Dou’s Sacred Gear into an unstable awakening and warned him to attempt it only once.
• Azer gave Rias a bracelet inscribed with his blood so her sealed half-vampire Servant could steadily control his dangerous power.
• Azer told Himejima Zhu Nai that she could use her Fallen Angel blood to unleash Thunder Light and offered to kill her father.
• Azer declared that he would kill Himejima Zhu Nai’s father that night and told her to prepare to embrace her past and show him her Thunder Light the next day.
• Azer named Black Song as Ta Cheng Xiao Mao’s teacher, and Black Song cheerfully promised to teach her.

Azer explained to Himejima Zhu Nai that Rias’s unwanted engagement could be settled through a Rating Game, where her underfilled team would be badly outmatched by the Phoenix heir. He challenged Himejima Zhu Nai to stop sealing away her power and help strengthen Rias’s team, leaving her silent and troubled.

• Azer left the villa at night, but Himejima Zhu Nai attacked him with lightning and confronted him.
• Azer told Himejima Zhu Nai that he had come because Rias opposed her engagement to the Phoenix Family’s Third Son.
• Azer predicted that the Gremory and Phoenix families would use a Rating Game to decide the engagement’s outcome.
• Azer pointed out that Rias had only four Servants and eleven unused Evil Pieces, while her opponent’s team was full and experienced.
• Azer urged Himejima Zhu Nai to stop suppressing her power and help Rias, and Himejima Zhu Nai fell silent.

Azer believed Rias’s exceptionally gifted Servants gave her a strong chance of defeating Phoenix, but Himejima Zhu Nai remained unwilling to use her Light Power. When Azer threatened to kill her father to force her hand, Zhu Nai attacked him and revealed her determination to grow stronger without her father’s power.

• Azer judged that Rias’s Servants could match High-Class Devils if they unlocked their abilities, and decided Himejima Zhu Nai was the last obstacle to her team’s strength.
• Azer told Himejima Zhu Nai he would kill her father, framing it as a way for her to be rid of him and help Rias win.
• Himejima Zhu Nai attacked Azer with Thunder Roar, then declared she could grow stronger without her father’s power or Light and fight for Rias.
• Azer blocked Zhu Nai’s lightning attacks, countered with gravity techniques, and trapped her in the suction of his Super Gravity Ball.
• As Azer said Zhu Nai would sleep until everything was over, dazzling light erupted from her body.

Azer pushed Himejima Zhu Nai into awakening her thunder-light power, then revealed that he had never expected to be able to kill her father through the Fallen Angels’ protection. The next day, Rias returned to find Zhu Nai, Ta Cheng Xiao Mao, and Mu Chang You Dou all displaying startling changes, while Azer claimed he did not know what had happened to the latter two.

• Himejima Zhu Nai unleashed thunder light and transformed one wing into a Fallen Angel wing, exhausting herself as Azer tested her power.
• Himejima Zhu Nai asked whether Azer had truly planned to kill her father, and Azer explained that the Fallen Angels’ powerful allies would likely prevent him from reaching his target.
• Azer teased Himejima Zhu Nai for caring about her father, and she remembered her mother’s death before flying back to the villa.
• Rias returned the next day and found Himejima Zhu Nai training with thunder light, Ta Cheng Xiao Mao displaying cat traits and draining a tree’s vitality, and Mu Chang You Dou crying while holding an ominous sword.
• Rias demanded an explanation from Azer, who said Zhu Nai had stopped hiding her power but claimed he did not know what had happened to Xiao Mao or You Dou.

Azer confronted Gaspar Vladi, Rias’s sealed Servant, and explained the power and weaknesses of Gaspar’s World-Stopping Evil Eye. After Gaspar accidentally froze time and Azer remained unaffected, Azer decided the frightened vampire needed training.

• Rias showed Azer Gaspar Vladi, who was hiding in a cardboard box and wearing Kuoh Academy’s girls’ uniform.
• Azer identified Gaspar’s World-Stopping Evil Eye and criticized Rias for failing to develop her powerful Servants.
• Azer shook Gaspar’s box and demanded that Gaspar return the bracelet he had taken.
• Azer pulled the box away, and Gaspar’s fear caused him to activate the World-Stopping Evil Eye, freezing everyone except Azer.
• Azer explained why the Evil Eye could not stop him, then tapped Gaspar with the Holy Spear and said he needed training.
• Gaspar fainted as Azer considered how to deal with him.

Azer spent a month training the Gremory Familiar, transforming its members into fighters capable of threatening High-Class Devils. After Rias learned he had come because of her engagement to the Phoenix Family, Azer gave her an Artificial Sacred Gear made from a fragment of the Twilight Holy Lance.

• Azer trained the Gremory Familiar under increasing gravity, healed their injuries, and sparred against them as their strength rapidly grew.
• Himejima Zhu Nai refined Thunder Light, Ta Cheng Xiao Mao developed her Demon Arts and Senjutsu, Mu Chang You Dou mastered Balance Breaker, and Gaspar learned to control his World-Stopping Evil Eye.

• Rias joined Azer outside the villa at night and told him Himejima Zhu Nai had explained that he came to help because of her engagement to the Phoenix Family.
• Azer acknowledged his reason for coming and handed Rias an Artificial Sacred Gear made from a fragment of the Twilight Holy Lance.

Azer gave Rias an Artificial Sacred Gear made from a fragment of the Twilight Holy Lance to help her defeat the Phoenix Family’s third young master in the Rating Game. Before Azer left, Rias vowed that she and her Servants would grow strong enough to challenge him again, and he promised to await them.

• Azer explained that Rias would need to attack the Phoenix’s mind rather than rely on physical damage, and gave her a short spear with powerful sacred energy.
• Azer explained that the spear could protect its holder from its sacred power, but would release all its stored energy at once and become unusable.

• Rias declared that she would not marry into the Phoenix Family because she intended to pursue her dream of becoming the Rating Games champion.
• Rias vowed that she and her Servants would grow stronger and challenge Azer at full strength, and Azer agreed to wait for them.

After leaving the Gremory villa, Azer, Black Song, and Asia traveled the world, while Rias won her Rating Game and dissolved her engagement amid a growing war between the Three Great Factions and the Disaster Faction.

• Azer recognized that the Three Great Factions were pursuing peace to survive the threat posed by the Disaster Faction.
• Azazel explained that he wanted Azer to witness the agreement as the God-Slaying Holy Lance User, discouraging other mythological factions from interfering.

• Azer took the seat at the head of the table, and the peace talks among the Three Great Factions officially began.

Azer attended the Three Great Factions’ peace conference until the Disaster Faction attacked Kuoh Academy and its leaders confronted the gathered rulers. The attack exposed Vali’s allegiance to the Disaster Faction, leaving the Three Great Factions facing a traitor and the heirs of the Old Devil Kings.

• Azer ignored the detailed negotiations and reviewed the Artificial Sacred Gear materials while the peace conference continued.
• The Disaster Faction launched a coordinated assault on Kuoh Academy, and Kruzelei Asmodeus, Katreya Leviathan, and Xia Erba Beelzebub appeared in the conference room.

• Vali transformed into the White Dragon Emperor and destroyed the conference building, while Gabriel protected everyone inside a barrier.
• Azazel confirmed that Vali had joined the Disaster Faction, and Vali explained that he chose them because he wanted to keep fighting.

• Sirzechs and the others realized Vali had enabled the Disaster Faction to teleport inside, while Xia Erba demanded to know why Azer stood with the Three Great Factions.

• Gabriel and Michael stopped others from interfering, while Rias, Cang Na, the Holy Sword Users, and Hyoudou Issei joined the surrounding battle.
• Sirzechs confronted Xia Erba, Serafall faced Katreya, and Azazel faced Kruzelei as the faction leaders prepared to fight.

Azer revealed that he could wield the White Dragon Emperor’s Light Wings and transform into a more powerful White Dragon Emperor, shocking Vali and the battlefield. He overwhelmed Vali with the copied powers and halved Vali’s strength, leaving their fight underway.

• Azer and Vali exchanged blows, and Vali challenged Azer to use his full strength while dismissing Hyoudou Issei as an unworthy nemesis.
• Azer refused to use the Holy Spear and revealed a pair of Light Wings identical to Vali’s, which Albion recognized as genuine and possibly stronger than his own.
• Azer transformed into a White Dragon Emperor, and Ddraig and Albion sensed that a higher-ranked Dragon Power was concealed within him.
• Azer struck Vali from behind, kicked him away, and erased Vali’s Magic Power Bullets with Half Dimension.
• Azer used Divide to halve Vali’s power as their battle continued.

Vali revealed Juggernaut Over Drive, a new form that turned Juggernaut Drive’s curse into fighting spirit without taking his sanity. He attacked Azer with an upgraded Compression Divider, forcing everyone nearby to flee.

• Vali declared that he would use his final trump card, despite Azazel’s warning and Ddraig’s concern that Juggernaut Drive could destroy him.
• Vali chanted a new incantation and activated Juggernaut Over Drive, transforming into silver armor as Michael and Gabriel struggled to stabilize the barrier around Kuoh Academy.
• Vali explained that his new form sealed away the past holders’ consciousnesses and replaced the curse with fighting spirit, though it consumed magic power at twice the original rate of life-force depletion.
• Vali used Compression Divider against Azer, and its power compressed everything it touched into nothingness, prompting Michael, Gabriel, and the others to flee.

Azer activated Juggernaut Drive and revealed that his White Dragon Emperor’s Light Wings contained Ophis’s power, stopping Vali’s catastrophic attack and defeating him. After Azer subdued Vali and returned to normal, the stunned factions were left to continue the battle.

• As Vali’s divine-level attack threatened Kuoh and the surrounding region, Azer decided to face it rather than dodge.
• Azer transformed his armor to black and activated Juggernaut Drive, using the power sealed in his White Dragon Emperor’s Light Wings to repeatedly halve and crush Vali’s attack.
• The Heavenly Dragons recognized Ophis’s power, and Azazel realized Azer had built the Light Wings around Ophis’s Snake and upgraded them with lower-tier Sacred Gears.
• Azer struck Vali through the barrier, then halved his power until Vali fell below Low-Class Devil strength and caught him in the sky.
• Azer carried Vali back, dropped him onto the battlefield, and deactivated his transformations after his overwhelming Aura froze everyone present.

• Michael and Gabriel sealed Kuoh Academy, and Rias and the others pursued the fleeing traitors while Sirzechs, Azazel, and Serafall fought Xia Erba, Kruzelei, and Katreya.
• Sirzechs defeated Xia Erba, Azazel quickly overcame Kruzelei, and Serafall froze Katreya after she stopped holding back.

• Michael and Gabriel accepted Azer’s explanation that the Lord’s will protected him, while Azazel suspected Azer might have created more than one piece of High-tier God Slaying Gear.

After the Old Devil King Faction was defeated, Ophis appeared and revealed she had come to see Azer use her power. Azer transformed with the Red Dragon Emperor’s Gauntlet and unleashed a massively boosted strike with the Twilight Holy Lance at her request, leaving the outcome unresolved.

• The dragons’ Sacred Gears reacted, and Ophis appeared at the venue, drawing fear from the gathered factions.
• Ophis told Azer she had sensed him using her power and asked him to demonstrate it.
• Azer revealed the Red Dragon Emperor’s Gauntlet, entered Juggernaut Drive, and manifested the Twilight Holy Lance.
• Ophis asked Azer to attack her, and he repeatedly used Boost before transferring the accumulated power into the Holy Lance.
• Azer spent his remaining strength charging at Ophis and thrust the Scarlet Spear toward her.

Azer used the Judgment God-Demon Lance to grievously wound Ophis, who acknowledged that his power could kill a Dragon God and said she would wait for him to grow stronger. After Ophis left, Azer learned that the peace treaty could proceed and that his life experience in the fantasy world had reached its turning point; he planned to return to the library after settling Asia and Black Song.

• The Library of Fantasies settled Azer’s previous life experience and awarded him Ryūjin Jakka and Hyōrinmaru.
• Azer learned that the swords were the strongest fire-type and ice-and-snow-type Zanpakuto and used his authority to bind them to himself.

• Azer opened the book and stored the two swords away so they would not narrow the possible Bleach life experiences.
• The pages settled on a life experience in Bleach, and Azer touched the blank book and entered its world.
