The chapter recounted how the first overseas King escaped experiments, became powerful enough to challenge his country, and then began conducting experiments himself.

• All sixteen S-class superhumans arrived, driven by fear and increasing oppressive pressure from Xie Yu.

• He Jue and the S-class superhumans found Xie Yu unfamiliar and wondered whether he had hidden his strength in the civilian world.

• The Evil God struck the ground with its bronze hammer, creating a crater, then raised the hammer to strike again.

He Jue tried to wear down the powerful Evil God, believing it was a summon dependent on its master's spiritual energy. His Spatial Strangulation failed to harm the Evil God, which struck him hundreds of meters away and forced the S-rank transcendent beings to surrender.

• He Jue assumed the Evil God was a summon and planned to stall until its master's spiritual energy ran out.
• He Jue used Spatial Strangulation against the Evil God as the S-rank transcendent beings watched.

• He Jue flew hundreds of meters, spat blood, and questioned how the Evil God had survived his attack.
• The S-rank transcendent beings surrendered after seeing He Jue defeated.

He Jue realized his spatial abilities could not affect Xie Yu’s Evil God and tried to survive by keeping his distance and stalling until the summon ran out of spiritual energy. Four hours later, He Jue was nearly out of spiritual power himself and looked horrified.

• He Jue recognized that Xie Yu was stronger and pretended to submit while planning to stall.
• He Jue used spatial sealing and crushing on the Evil God, but neither attack slowed It.
• He Jue concluded that the Evil God followed rules far beyond his understanding and kept his distance to buy time.

• Red Candle wondered if they had come to attack Xie Yu, while the superhumans realized that a clash between the new and old Kings was inevitable.

Silver Willow confronted superhumans who had wronged people, knowing that a newly born King could challenge an entire nation. He stood by his decision despite the risks to his own mind, and the chapter left him determined to act even as an outsider.

• The S-rank superhumans protested that they had been wronged while recognizing the danger posed by a newly emerged King.
• Silver Willow worried about the consequences of Contract Anomalists attacking ordinary people and glanced at He Jue and the others.
• Silver Willow reflected that the Humanity Code protected ordinary people and Contract Anomalists from the dangers of uncontrolled violence.
• Silver Willow resolved to stop the superhumans from running wild, even if he lost control or went mad.

Silver Willow urged Xie Yu to return with him and leave the local superhumans alone, but Xie Yu remained focused on their belief that they were superior to ordinary people.

• Xie Yu said the people did not believe they were the same as ordinary people, and Silver Willow explained that they considered themselves new humans and ordinary people unevolved ants.

Red Candle considered how human threats to Contract Anomalists were handled and why Silver Willow’s attackers might have made her response understandable under the Humanity Code. Xie Yu’s firm attitude toward the extraordinary individuals left Red Candle suspecting that his reasons for coming to the world were not what she had assumed.

• Red Candle reflected that people pursued power, profit, love, and vengeance across worlds, and that Yi Gui Company and the Logistics Department protected Contract Anomalists from human schemes.

• Red Candle learned that Xie Yu, Silver Willow’s captain, had been assigned to judge Silver Willow instead of the Judgment Department.
• Red Candle explained that Contract Anomalist captains took responsibility for their team members and were protective of their own.
• He Jue and the other superhumans realized they had likely been punished for offending someone with a powerful backer.
• An S-rank superhuman begged for mercy and promised to revoke the warrants against Silver Willow, keep his organization from provoking him, and protect him.

Xie Yu punished He Jue and the other S-class superhumans for troubling his junior, leaving He Jue resentful but unable to retaliate.

• He Jue watched the other superhumans blame him for the beating and silently accepted that Xie Yu had overwhelmed them without causing lasting injuries.
• He Jue considered the political risks of eliminating the S-class superhumans and held back because Vast Kingdom needed its strength against foreign superhumans.
• He Jue admitted defeat to Xie Yu but privately resolved to repay the humiliation if Xie Yu ever weakened.
• Xie Yu argued that a trial involving superhumans from just one country could not prove anything.
• Red Candle recalled how The One had intensified human experimentation and taken revenge through even more brutal means.

The chapter describes how the first “King” inspired governments and others to abduct ordinary people for experiments to create extraordinary beings, while Xie Yu’s history with his unmanageable Weird left him stuck at A-rank. Red Candle recognized the rumors were true, and the chapter ended with the lingering fear of the world’s reset driving people to seek greater strength.

• The first “King” set a brutal example, and people were seized for experiments that often left them dead or gravely ill.
• Authorities abroad, including those in the first “King”’s country, secretly supported experiments to build extraordinary armies and challenge him.
• Red Candle recalled Xie Yu’s failed attempts to advance and realized he had contracted a Weird beyond his ability to control.
• The elders urged Xie Yu to replace his contract, but he remained stuck at A-rank.

Xie Yu asked Manager Chen to lend him a helicopter so he could travel abroad, but Manager Chen warned that countries restricted powerful superhumans from entering. Xie Yu accepted the warning and had Red Candle head for the helicopter anyway.

• Red Candle and Silver Willow watched as Manager Chen released He Yi's family, while Silver Willow wondered why illegal laboratories were not being dealt with.
• Xie Yu told Manager Chen there had been no misunderstanding and asked to borrow a helicopter to go abroad.
• Manager Chen asked what Xie Yu intended to do, and Xie Yu replied that he wanted to ask a question.
• Xie Yu said he also wanted to take He Jue and the others with him, but Manager Chen explained that superhumans above B-class were generally barred from leaving and entering other countries.
• Xie Yu said he understood and asked for the helicopter, then Red Candle headed toward it as Manager Chen tried to stop her.

Red Candle forced her way past the soldiers and flew Xie Yu, Silver Willow, He Jue, and the other S-Class Transcendents out of the mainland in a helicopter. As aircraft followed them, she remained confident but wondered whether their escape would destroy relations with the Vast Kingdom and other countries.

• Red Candle charged through the soldiers, who failed to stop her, and dragged the helicopter pilot out.
• Red Candle learned to operate the helicopter, and Xie Yu used his Ghost Domain to fit the group inside.
• Manager Chen stopped his men from fighting and let the Transcendents leave the mainland.
• Red Candle flew the helicopter overseas as other aircraft followed them.
• Red Candle considered whether their flight would tear apart relations with the Vast Kingdom and other countries.
