Chapter Summaries

After Chang Wei helped secure a favorable ruling against Beaconfire Wild Hall, he stunned the Chen Family by volunteering to join the Overlord Army. Chen Ding accepted his decision but suspected that the formerly death-fearing Chang Wei had changed for some reason.

• Zhu Houcai signed an Oath Contract with Chen Nuo guaranteeing the return of the Chen Family's martial arts manual and compensation for Chen Kou.
• Chang Wei returned to meet Chen Ding, who welcomed his decision to join the Overlord Army but grew suspicious of his sudden change in character.

While Chen Ding watched Chang Wei, You Wei secretly emptied the Chen Family treasury. Chang Wei departed for the Overlord Army with You Wei, whose decision was prompted by a glimpse of Chang Wei’s business card.

• Chen Ding closely monitored Chang Wei but found no suspicious behavior, while You Wei secretly stripped the Chen Family treasury bare.
• Chang Wei said goodbye to the Chen Family members and told Lai Fu that he had powerful backing, briefly showing him a golden business card.
• You Wei decided to join the Overlord Army with Chang Wei, and the stone monster man agreed to take them both.
• Lai Fu realized the solid backing Chang Wei had shown was a business card.

Lai Fu joined Chang Wei and You Wei on their trip to the Overlord Army’s Outpost Star 886, believing a council member backed them. Evelina exposed Chang Wei as a Summon Object and destroyed him, while You Wei’s identity and scheme were revealed.

• Lai Fu saw Chang Wei’s golden business card and asked to join the Overlord Army, then traveled with Chang Wei, You Wei, and the stone monster.

• Evelina questioned why Chang Wei was being given an Isolation Talisman, identifying him as a Summon Object.
• Evelina sensed You Wei’s connection to Chang Wei and crushed Chang Wei, leaving his Space Pouch and food scraps behind.
• You Wei admitted their connection was faint, and Evelina accused him of trying to steal Assault Squad 886’s resources.

You Wei killed Lai Fu after revealing that he had no intention of staying in the Overlord Army forever. Evelina explained how difficult it was to leave, while Lu Li privately recognized that the Octopus Lady could offer him a way out.

• Evelina noticed traces left by communication through the Soul Realm, and You Wei realized what her discovery implied.
• You Wei threw the Death Intent Cage and killed Lai Fu with a punch, then devoured his soul, took his equipment, and disposed of the body.
• You Wei told Murphy, Evelina, and Austin that he would fulfill his duties but would leave when the time was right.
• Evelina laughed at You Wei's claim and explained that recruits needed immense military merit or promotion to Brocade-Booted War King rank to apply to leave.
• Lu Li reflected that Murphy's ten watchtower-star years of service might equal roughly eighty Earth years.

You Wei joined Murphy's squad on Outpost Star 886 and was assigned to enter the Demon Eye despite the risks. As the soldiers gathered, he tried to introduce his Talent Ability, ending with the claim that it was all-powerful.

• Murphy chose to take You Wei into the Demon Eye rather than report him to the council, after Evelina recommended the plan.
• Austin assembled the soldiers on Outpost Star 886, and Evelina told You Wei to explain his Talent Ability to them.
• The veteran soldiers mocked You Wei and interrupted his introduction until Evelina silenced them with a threat to withhold purification blessings.
• You Wei asked Evelina about her abilities, and she explained that her [Battle Mage] class and [Elemental Affinity] Talent Ability made her an all-rounder.
• You Wei introduced his own Talent Ability to the soldiers as being all-powerful.

You Wei drew ridicule after claiming his Talent Abilities were omnipotent, then traveled with the combat soldiers toward the Padtic Demon Eye. When their airship came under attack and began breaking apart, he activated more than twenty defensive talents, astonishing everyone aboard.

• You Wei introduced himself as omnipotent, prompting the soldiers to mock him and bet that he would not survive the first battle.
• Murphy bet that You Wei would survive and became the bookmaker, encouraging the soldiers to increase their stakes.
• The War Generals took more than 120 combatants from Outpost Star 886 toward the Padtic Demon Eye, while You Wei considered how his past-life knowledge and abilities would help him.
• As Austin piloted the airship into the Demon Eye, explosions damaged its hull and engine, and the vessel began to break apart.
• You Wei activated the [Isolation Talisman] and stacked more than twenty defensive talents, leaving the soldiers amazed by his abilities.

After Austin’s airship crashed, You Wei revealed powerful defensive abilities and flew off to attack the demons’ long-range firepower. Meanwhile, Murphy and Evelina fought through a gathering Demon Tide, and a massive plasma explosion made Evelina suspect a demon prince had appeared nearby.

• Austin’s airship crashed violently, but the battle soldiers survived, and You Wei escaped the impact by flying out of the wreckage.
• You Wei blocked the Thunder Demons’ plasma bombs with a crimson shield and a phantom shield, then flew toward the enemy’s long-range firepower.
• Murphy and Evelina led Squad 886 through Filth Corruption Demons as the unusually savage monsters gathered into a Demon Tide.
• Murphy said the Demon Eye had become restless and asked Evelina to raise her flames’ temperature so he could break through in his second state.
• Evelina saw a plasma explosion rise two kilometers away and concluded that a demon prince might have been born on the outskirts.

Evelina and Murphy’s squad struggled against overwhelming demons after a plasma explosion suggested a Demon Prince had been born. Evelina fled the encirclement but spotted a flying figure approaching, leaving her unsure whether to aid Murphy or escape.

• Evelina warned Murphy that the plasma explosion may have marked the birth of a Demon Prince, while a Greed Lord attacked and Murphy pulled it away from her.
• Evelina decided the squad could not survive the growing demon threat and used Stamina Drain on the battle soldiers before flying over the encirclement.
• Evelina saw a figure flying toward her from the explosion site and feared it was a Demon Prince, then considered returning to support Murphy.
• Several soldiers tried to fly out but were killed by carrion demons or roaming demons of the Evil Domain.
• Someone called out to Evelina from afar.

Evelina mistook You Wei for a Demon Prince and fled toward General Murphy, while You Wei chased after her, confused by her reaction. He caught up with Murphy’s surrounded soldiers, who recognized him but remained bewildered by his appearance and Evelina’s warning.

• Evelina recognized You Wei as a Demon Prince who knew her and fled toward General Murphy.
• When You Wei called out to Evelina, she mistook his words for confirmation that he was a former comrade turned demon and activated [Stamina Overload] to escape.
• Evelina warned Captain Murphy that a Demon Prince was pursuing her as she reached the soldiers surrounded by Defiled Rot Demons.
• The soldiers recognized You Wei as the rookie who had entered the Demon Eye with General Austin and stared in confusion at his black cloak and revolving shields.
• You Wei continued after Evelina, planning to ask Murphy for directions or a teleportation crystal so he could explore deeper into the Demon Realm.

You Wei caught up with Evelina and Murphy, explained that he had killed more than fifty Thunder Demons, and asked for help locating General Austin. Murphy offered a positioning crystal but asked You Wei to use his Flame Baptism on him again.

• Evelina reached Murphy and warned him that the Demon Prince was pursuing them, but Murphy initially misunderstood her warning.
• You Wei arrived and explained that he had been separated from General Austin after dealing with the Thunder Demons and losing his way in the Demon Domain.
• Evelina learned that You Wei had killed over fifty Thunder Demons and survived their plasma explosions, though he claimed he had relied on items to do so.
• You Wei burned the maggots covering Murphy with Flame Baptism and asked for directions or a way to locate Austin.
• Murphy offered You Wei a positioning crystal marked with his, Austin's, and Evelina's locations, then asked You Wei to use Flame Baptism on him again.

You Wei used his Dragon Scale Round Shield and refined incense wish power to unleash flames powerful enough to trigger Murphy’s second state. Evelina was forced to wager her Teleportation Crystal, and the soldiers gained hope that Murphy’s transformation would save them from the demons.

• Evelina challenged You Wei’s ability to trigger Murphy’s second state and promised him her Teleportation Crystal if he succeeded.
• Murphy agreed to witness the wager, while Evelina threatened You Wei if he failed.
• You Wei activated Blazing Flame Seed and used Dragon Breath to engulf Murphy in fire as the soldiers watched.
• You Wei strengthened the flames with refined incense wish power, and Murphy transformed into a massive torrent of magma.

You Wei helped Murphy enter his second state, earning a teleportation crystal and learning that Austin was in the Demon Domain’s central region. Murphy decided that he, Evelina, and Austin would head there, leaving You Wei to lead the battle soldiers in the outskirts.

• Murphy transformed into his second state and annihilated the Corruption Demons surrounding the group.
• Evelina gave You Wei the teleportation crystal, and he used it to locate Austin and sense someone contacting Evelina from the central region.
• Evelina confirmed that Rahem had contacted her about Assault Squad 744 gathering in the central region for a joint operation that risked triggering a Demon Tide.
• Murphy decided to travel with Evelina and Austin without the battle soldiers, who were suffering from the [Stamina Drain] debuff and could hinder the mission.
• Murphy proposed that Evelina lend her airship to You Wei so he could lead the battle soldiers in completing their quota in the outskirts and return to Watchtower Star.

You Wei took command of the soldiers after Evelina and Murphy departed, then planned to fulfill Murphy’s mission while building strength and military merit. The soldiers, afraid he would punish them for mocking him, offered him their valuables to buy his favor.

• Evelina gave You Wei the Space Pouch holding two airships, warned him not to get himself killed, and left with Murphy on the flying vessel.
• You Wei faced the soldiers, who nervously apologized for mocking him before learning his strength and new rank.
• You Wei focused on the surrounding situation through the teleportation crystal and considered how to gain strength and military merit without fleeing the Overlord Army.
• A soldier offered You Wei a Space Pouch as an apology, and You Wei set out an empty Storage Jade Pendant for the soldiers to fill with valuable items.
• The soldiers contributed items including Origin Crystals, a Substitute Doll, a Ten Thousand Slave Cart, Love Potion Powder, and Hercules Oil.

You Wei led the battle soldiers through the Demon Domain, killing every monster in their path and astonishing them with his strength before taking charge of their quota. Meanwhile, Murphy and Rahem prepared an assault on a Terror Demon nest at Wailing Gorge, though Rahem’s calculations showed Evelina could lower their chances of success.

• The battle soldiers gave You Wei a Storage Jade Pendant filled with offerings, and he told them to follow his arrangements as they walked toward Austin and the others.
• You Wei killed the monsters they encountered on the way, leaving the battle soldiers stunned by his combat ability.
• Austin told You Wei to complete the day’s quota, then hurried toward the central region after Murphy summoned him.
• At Wailing Gorge, Rahem told Murphy that the timing for the assault would yield a 66.7% success rate and that Evelina’s condition could reduce their odds.
• Murphy reassured Evelina about her stamina drain and said she could absorb his stamina if necessary.

You Wei used his black fog army to defeat six waves of demons and nearly cleared the area around Assault Squad 886. He then handed the battle soldiers Stamina Power Banks to charge, leaving them wondering how many he had brought.

• A blind fishman and an Ogryn boarman worried that You Wei's battle might attract a demon tide, then watched demons gather around the squad.
• You Wei's black fog formed an army that overwhelmed the demons, while he kept surviving Howling Demons screaming to lure in more waves.
• You Wei cleared six consecutive waves and completed the combat quota for Assault Squad 886 largely by himself.
• You Wei asked the battle soldiers to charge his Stamina Power Banks and told them to use Stamina Potions if needed.
• The battle soldiers realized the power banks could store the stamina of five people each and wondered whether You Wei had enough for all 120 soldiers.

Lu Li weighed three omens that warned against returning to Watchtower Star and pointed toward joining Murphy and the other Overlord Army generals. After a deeper deduction, he chose to follow the Minor Lucky Omen and head for Wailing Gorge in the central Demon Domain.

• You Wei distributed Stamina Power Banks to the battle soldiers, who recovered their stamina and returned the charged devices.
• Lu Li’s [See Time Know Subtlety] gave him three omens: returning to Watchtower Star carried severe danger, joining the generals offered a chance at Copper Boot merit, and taking a risk could yield a minor opportunity.
• Lu Li offered the soldiers a choice between returning to Watchtower Star aboard Evelina’s airship and staying in the Demon Domain; most chose to return.
• Lu Li spent one hundred thousand Soul Points to learn that he should meet Murphy and the generals at Wailing Gorge, then leave the group when monsters surged and attack a demon nest.
• Lu Li decided to follow the Minor Lucky Omen and remain in the Demon Domain.

You Wei led the soldiers who stayed with him into the Demon Realm’s central region, while Evelina, Rahem, Murphy, and Austin fought a fierce battle at Wailing Gorge. Rahem insisted they needed to hold out for five more minutes, leaving the battle unresolved.

• The Ogre Boarman and Blind-Eyed Merman stayed beside You Wei as he led the remaining soldiers deeper into the Demon Realm.
• The soldiers noticed they had entered the central region, and You Wei offered them a chance to leave before explaining that they were close to General Murphy.
• None of the soldiers chose to leave, so You Wei continued toward Murphy’s position with them.
• At Wailing Gorge, Evelina and the others struggled against powerful demons pouring from the gorge after Rahem blasted its entrance.
• Rahem said his calculations still gave them a greater than sixty percent chance of success if they held on for another five minutes and thirty-two seconds.

Rahem tried to calm Evelina with a badly timed joke while fighting demons, but You Wei and more than twenty soldiers arrived to help. You Wei then offered to assist the overwhelmed Battle General Austin, claiming he was an all-rounder.

• Evelina reluctantly listened as Rahem told a joke about male Spirit Clan members, while the two fought off demons.
• Rahem killed a Roaring Demon that attacked Evelina, and Austin laughed at the joke while Evelina complained that Rahem combined too much setup with an attack that came too fast.
• Rahem transformed into a massive mechanical cannon and began preparing for the scheduled operation.
• You Wei arrived with more than twenty soldiers after completing the combat quota on the outskirts, surprising Evelina and alarming Austin, who warned them about the dangers of the Demon Realm's central region.
• You Wei focused on the level-one-hundred Battle General Austin and offered to help, declaring himself an all-rounder.

After Rahem’s cannon blasts exposed a Parasite Demon nest instead of a Terror Demon nest, You Wei sent Austin into the demon tide wearing armor made from his black mist. As Evelina called for a retreat, Rahem calmly assessed You Wei’s abilities and the operation’s prospects.

• Rahem fired his cannon twice, widening the canyon entrance and revealing caves filled with Parasite Demons.
• Evelina strengthened the Purification Aura while the soldiers retreated, and Lu Li recognized that his Holy affinities and armor gave him an advantage against the Parasite Demons.
• You Wei covered Austin in armor formed from black mist and launched him into the Parasite Demon tide despite Austin’s protests.
• Rahem introduced himself to You Wei and questioned him about the properties of his Summoning Class talent.
• Evelina warned that Austin had been outside the Purification Aura for more than ten seconds and demanded that Rahem order a retreat.

Lu Li, disguised as You Wei, used soul armor to protect Austin from the Parasite Demons, helping the team gain ground at Wailing Gorge. As Rahem prepared three Holy Light Bombs to destroy the demon nest, his warning system suddenly detected danger.

• Rahem realized that You Wei, not Evelina, was the key to the operation’s rising success rate, and Evelina defended lending him her teleportation crystal.
• Austin emerged unharmed from the Parasite Demon tide in You Wei’s soul armor and eagerly returned to battle.
• Austin’s attacks rapidly thinned the Parasite Demon tide while he periodically returned to recover his stamina.
• Rahem prepared three Holy Light Bombs on rotor drones and asked Evelina to camouflage them, warning that the demon nest might contain dangerous gravitational passages.
• Rahem’s mechanical eyes turned red and an alarm sounded as he shouted for everyone to get down.
