After Bai Xiaowen’s undead army grew to more than a thousand, he ordered Sigrdrifa to stop recruiting demons because they would soon face the Calamity Demon King. Back in Utu Town, Mayor Kelly confronted Kelowen over her prophecy that the traveler Hristos was the Savior, claiming it endangered the town.

• Bai Xiaowen tried to recruit a willing militiaman, but the Spirit Realm Rules demanded 500 additional Spirit Crystals to clear his Chaotic Aura and warned that doing so would greatly weaken him, so Bai Xiaowen refused.

• Herbart pledged Utu Town’s militia to support Hristos in defeating Tifast, and Priestess Kelowen warned that Tifast was still extraordinarily powerful to humans.

Bai Xiaowen established a Resonant Teleportation Formation linking the Dark Age Plane to the White Phoenix Fief, then cultivated to prepare for the Calamity Demon King.

Bai Xiaowen learned that the Three Heavenly Kings had rapidly built their forces by using surrendered demons as cannon fodder and raising the dead. He ordered them to attack the Beast Forest with the cannon fodder, then withdraw once it was wiped out, and the chapter ended as Sigrdrifa stopped Abaddon and Pudge from committing their main force.

• Sigrdrifa reported that Abaddon had raised ten thousand Bonefolk soldiers while she and Pudge had developed more than three hundred Elite Tier Soulkin and Corpsefolk warriors.
• Sigrdrifa explained that the Three Heavenly Kings used reconnaissance, surrendered demons, and the fallen demons’ corpses to expand their forces; Bai Xiaowen approved their flexible approach.

• Abaddon and Sigrdrifa observed that the beasts fought in unusually organized formations, while Pudge urged them to kill.
• Sigrdrifa refused to send in the main force and ordered a retreat in accordance with Bai Xiaowen’s instructions.

Abaddon’s undead army withdrew after defeating the demon forces, and the beasts returned to the Beast Forest without pursuing them. Bai Xiaowen’s hidden plan left Rageclaw ruling the forest, while the Calamity Demon King ordered the newly strengthened undead to defend Calamity City.

• Abaddon ordered a retreat, and the beasts let the undead withdraw before returning to the Beast Forest.
• Abaddon used Necrosis to raise nearly a thousand fallen demons as Bonefolk, then leveled up alongside Sigrdrifa and the other undead servants.

• Tifast left the Three Heavenly Kings’ undead behind as patrol troops and marched with his demon army toward the River of Lost Paths valley.
• Tifast told his human envoy that he planned to cut off the undead lords from their mysterious master and ordered the two thousand skeletons at Calamity City eliminated.

The Calamity Demon King learned of Rageclaw and planned to force the beast lord to bring Beast Forest's army to Calamity City. Meanwhile, Bai Xiaowen lured Pain Demon lord Gordin into a trap and began his war against the Calamity Demon King.

• The Calamity Demon King decided to summon Rageclaw and the beasts of Beast Forest to attack the skeleton soldiers, believing Rageclaw would obey because Beast Forest lay in his domain.
• Bai Xiaowen's forces used the succubus Ladis to lure Gordin into a sound-blocking camp, where Bai Xiaowen revealed himself as Hristos.

• The Three Heavenly Kings looted the Calamity Demon King's corpse while Bai Xiaowen questioned You Heming about his ties to the Heavenly Prefecture Territory.
• You Heming admitted he was an envoy but refused to reveal the territory's demon-control secret because a contract would kill him if he did.
• Bai Xiaowen had Gordin restrain You Heming and used the Heart-Confounding Talisman to make him a servant, then searched his memories.
• You Heming's memories revealed that the demon-control secret involved a Soul Contract, and he died after Bai Xiaowen reviewed them.
• Bai Xiaowen uncovered a hidden stone tablet beneath the Calamity Demon King's throne, bearing a contract that listed demons' true names and appeared to bind them to the king.

Bai Xiaowen and his companions examined the contract tablet and divided the Calamity Demon King's powerful equipment among the Three Heavenly Kings. They left with Pudge the Butcher wielding the Fel-Fire Sawblade and Abaddon wearing the complete Demon's Calamity Set.

• Kelowen studied the contract tablet and said she would search her teacher's records for clues about its power.

• Bai Xiaowen distributed the Calamity Demon King’s Epic Tier loot among Butcher, Sigrdrifa, and Abaddon, then led the Three Heavenly Kings in plundering Calamity City.
• Bai Xiaowen found the Eye of the Demon and asked Kelowen to locate Goladon’s demon army, which was marching through the Kohun Hills.

• Goladon accepted Hodan’s account and continued the march toward the King of Pride’s forces.
