Chapter Summaries

Ian collected life from several planets to enrich his God Kingdom before a spatial vortex pulled him into Krypton's Phantom Zone. He escaped by unleashing his time power, while the blue egg in his arms neared hatching.

• Ian discovered a newborn planet and transferred its microorganisms, seawater, and other life into his God Kingdom.
• Ian collected species and plants from desert, frozen, gas giant, and jungle planets as the blue egg grew increasingly active.
• Black Box detected an approaching spatial rift, and Ian let its vortex pull him into Krypton's Phantom Zone.
• Ian found himself able to move in the timeless prison because he possessed time power, though the Phantom Zone began suppressing it.
• Ian combined his powers and broke through the crack leading out of the Phantom Zone.
• Ian returned to the starfield as the blue egg's shell filled with cracks and blue light.

Ian resisted the urge to devour the Phantom Zone and flew back toward Earth, but his power had already destabilized the prison. Its collapse freed Faora and other dangerous prisoners, who began gathering under her command to raid nearby planets.

• Ian chose not to devour the Phantom Zone because changing its prisoners’ histories could worsen the timeline chaos, then flew toward Earth.
• The Phantom Zone’s structure cracked from the lingering effects of Ian’s power, awakening its prisoners before the dimension collapsed.
• Faora, Ubu, and Britannic emerged with the other prisoners and learned that Krypton was destroyed and no major threats were nearby.
• Faora silenced the prisoners and offered to organize their plundering, identifying an inhabited planet for Ubu and a mineral-rich planet for Britannic.

Faora led the Phantom Zone escapees toward an inhabited planet to conquer and plunder it, but Ultramen from the Land of Light intercepted them. Ultra Captain effortlessly defeated Faora, an Ultraman destroyed Ubu, and Britannic discovered that the Land of Light posed an overwhelming threat.

• Faora rallied the prisoners around a plan to conquer nearby planets and led them toward an inhabited world.
• Ultramen appeared in their path, identified themselves as patrols from the Land of Light, and blocked the escapees' routes.
• Faora charged Ultra Captain, who caught her punch and sent her crashing through several asteroids.
• An Ultraman withstood Ubu's corrosive digestive fluid and destroyed it with beams of light.
• Britannic scanned the Ultramen and found records describing the Land of Light as far beyond known civilizations, with absolute superiority over them.

The Ultramen defeated the Phantom Zone prisoners and discovered that an unknown human had broken the dimension, sending Jack, Ace, and Seven to find him. As Ian flew toward Earth, he encountered a star region from an Outer Universe integrating into his universe.

• The Ultramen subdued the escaped prisoners, and their leader Zoffy declared they would be sent to the Land of Light for trial.
• Hikari traced the Phantom Zone’s collapse to an unknown human whose powers combined time and chaos, then determined he was heading toward Earth.

• Unaware the Ultramen were pursuing him, Ian continued flying toward Earth with the sleeping Xenomorph and little dragon on his shoulders.
• Ian sensed an unnatural emptiness in a star region, and Black Box identified it as an Outer Universe integrating into his universe.

Ian entered a smaller universe that was merging peacefully with the DC Universe and found its Earth populated by ordinary people and hidden metahumans. After stopping five superhuman criminals from detonating a nuclear bomb, he was mistaken for one of the Alien Family people.

• The bald brute called Ian one of the Alien Family people, potentially revealing the identity of the universe.

Ian learned that the Jupiter Family abused its power over ordinary people and confronted Brandon, a drunken family member who arrived to attack the criminals. After Ian effortlessly stopped Brandon, he warned him that he would not let him hurt anyone.

• The bald criminal explained that the Jupiter Family had killed his brother with impunity, prompting the group to plant a nuclear bomb in an act of desperate defiance.

• Ian dismissed Brandon's family status, backed him against the factory wall, and said he would not let him hurt anyone.

Ian stayed in Central City after confronting Brandon and the criminals, curious to learn about the Jupiter Family and this universe. The next morning, he explored the ordinary city and saw signs that its people held mixed feelings about the family’s power.

• Ian warned the five criminals not to mess with nuclear bombs and told Brandon to go home and think about what he had done.
• Ian decided to remain in the city, rented a hotel room, and spent the night with the little Xenomorph and Little Dragon.
• Ian woke, checked out, and walked through Central City, where passersby barely noticed him or his companions.
• Ian tried Star Fruit Dew and shared fried dough sticks with the little Xenomorph and Little Dragon at a breakfast shop.
• Ian saw books celebrating the Jupiter Family, then found graffiti that contrasted the family’s promise of protection with the words "Not needed."

Ian explored the city, heard how Walter Jupiter’s family had seized power through violence, and saw the family’s public claims of charity and peace. When a powerful blond man arrived and watched him from a rooftop, Ian calmly returned to Granny’s Kitchen to finish his soup.

• Ian examined Walter Jupiter’s statue, and an old man told him that Jupiter’s family had terrorized and killed people while the authorities were powerless to stop them.

• Ian absorbed two family members in an office building and the last one in a penthouse bedroom.
• Ian sensed all seventeen energy signatures disappear, leaving only the prisoners in his God Kingdom and Brandon.

After wiping out the Jupiter Family, Ian investigated the universe’s missing supernatural realms and found that his God Kingdom could potentially contain it. In the depths of space, a Chronos Guardians agent confronted him and warned that the organization would respond because he had disrupted its infiltration plan.

• Ian sensed that the universe had no Heaven, Hell, Angels, or Demons and decided to explore its boundaries.
• Ian flew through the universe, and Black Box estimated it was two-thirds the size of the DC universe and could eventually contain his God Kingdom.
• Ian detected an anomalous fluctuation and encountered a woman who arrived in a silver-gray spaceship.
• The woman identified herself as a future agent of the Chronos Guardians and accused Ian of changing history by wiping out the Jupiter Family.
• The woman told Ian that the Chronos Guardians would not ignore his actions and warned that he had interfered with their infiltration plan.

Ian met a mysterious woman who warned him about the Chronos Guardians, then encountered one of their agents near Earth and fought him. Ian identified the man as an Outsider tied to the merging universes, but the agent refused to explain what lay behind the process and opened a gray sphere toward Ian.

• The Mysterious Woman refused to explain why she had warned Ian, cautioned him that others would be harder to talk to, and left in her spaceship.
• Ian flew toward Earth, unaware that an ancient, powerful existence was watching him from the darkness.
• A silver-haired man intercepted Ian at Earth's atmosphere and said the Chronos Guardians had ordered him to bring Ian back.
• Ian resisted the man's temporal attack and fought him in a fierce physical clash that shattered asteroids and cracked space.
• Ian concluded that the man was an Outsider empowered by overlapping universal laws and accused someone of pushing Outer Universes into the DC universe.
• The man said Ian did not understand the purpose behind the merging universes, refused to explain further, and sent a gray sphere unfolding toward him.

Ian broke free from a rule-based barrier, learned that the Chronos Guardians were tracking him, and returned to Earth to prepare for what might come next. He checked on the captured Jupiter Family in his God Kingdom and told Black Box to collect useful information from Earth's network.

• Ian smashed through the gray flower with 372 punches, while the man admitted the barrier had wounded him.
• The man revealed that the Chronos Guardians wanted Ian and used a sword forged from Weeping Angel fragments to place a tracking mark on him.

• Ian landed in a remote wasteland and checked that the captured Jupiter Family were being held and made to work as E-Class Citizens.
• Ian asked Black Box to download Earth's technological data, food recipes, and information on local specialties.

Ian visited an Old Jack Pizza in another universe, where the familiar food reminded him of ordinary moments with his father. When a superhuman began attacking people, Ian decided this universe needed rules to restrain such powers and raised his hand to use Chaos Power.

• Black Box finished downloading technological data, recipes, and product information from the universe and identified its advanced energy technology.
• Ian followed the scent of Old Jack Pizza to a shop that closely resembled the one he remembered from Metropolis and ate pizza with the little Xenomorph and Little Dragon.
• The familiar shop and its pizza reminded Ian of childhood meals with his father, Clark Kent.
• After leaving the shop, Ian heard screams and sensed a superhuman destroying cars and throwing people aside.
• Ian told Black Box that the universe needed rules and a system of Heaven and Hell to restrain superhumans, then raised his hand as Chaos Power flowed from it.

Ian created Heaven and Hell as new dimensions and established a three-layer afterlife system around the unchanged material world. The new realms awaited their first souls, with kind souls going to Heaven and evil souls confronting the harm they had caused in Hell.

• Ian shaped Heaven from his rules, creating a peaceful landscape and a city of light before sending its core into the universe.

• Ian sent Hell’s core into the universe, placing the new dimension beneath Heaven and the material world.
• Ian established a lasting order in which goodness led souls to Heaven and evil led them to Hell.

Ian established Heaven and Hell and assigned a Little Demon and a Little Angel to guide souls, then tried to return to DC. An unknown barrier stopped him at the edge of the universe, leaving him convinced that someone had trapped him inside.

• Ian created Heaven and Hell and told a Little Demon and a Little Angel to guide evil and kind souls without judging, punishing, or rewarding them.
• Ian sensed that the superhuman had stopped destroying things after feeling the new rules, and he left the Little Demons and Little Angels to deal with him.

• Ian crashed into an invisible barrier at the universe's boundary, and Black Box detected an energy sphere enclosing the universe.
• Ian tried to push through and strike the barrier, then used divine power to reveal its patterns, but the barrier absorbed his strength and power.
• Ian concluded that the universe had become a prison designed to keep him inside and sensed that someone did not want him to leave.

Unable to break through the barrier keeping him from returning to the DC Universe, Ian decided to refine the universe into his God Kingdom. He planned to expand it using people’s faith and began devising a low-casualty crisis that would bring Heaven and Hell into the open.
