Ch. 449The Opportunity to Obtain Time Divine Power and Godslaying Power

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Axis rejects Kainos’s initial promises to help him become an Absolute God, viewing them as empty assurances. However, Axis secretly plans to exploit Kainos: he intends to help restore Kainos’s power and then kill him to absorb his time divine power through Mazahs’s ability.
  • Kainos explains that Supergod, his brother, is immensely powerful but not truly omnipotent. Supergod lacks a physical body and can only act indirectly through his incarnation, Saturn, who possesses independent consciousness and does not always obey him.
  • Kainos reveals the existence of Godslaying Power, a rare force capable of harming or killing Primordial Gods, Absolute Gods, and even Supergod. Ordinary gods cannot truly kill beings of those levels because they are equivalent to cosmic laws or can resurrect themselves.
  • According to Kainos, Pegasus possesses the only known Godslaying Power. The power grows whenever Pegasus kills increasingly powerful gods. Athena’s Godslaying Dagger was created by extracting and refining a portion of Pegasus’s power.
  • Kainos claims he once tried to use Pegasus during a previous Holy War but failed because Tenma would not cooperate. He now intends to cultivate Pegasus’s power until it becomes strong enough to threaten Supergod.
  • To test Kainos’s knowledge, Axis asks about Athena’s future. Kainos predicts that every Athena is destined to be killed by Apsu, a peak Absolute God and the true creator of the universe. Axis knows this prediction aligns with events he has witnessed and decides to cooperate.
  • Axis and Kainos plan to restore Kainos’s body and use future conflicts with Olympus—especially Apollo—as opportunities to strengthen Pegasus’s Godslaying Power.
  • Axis gives Kainos a small amount of pure primordial divine power. This restores Kainos’s soul to roughly the level of a third-level god and gives him renewed hope of defeating Supergod.
  • Returning to Athena’s temple, Axis discovers that Athena has completed her transformation into a Primordial God, surpassing Apollo and reaching Zeus’s level. She immediately recognizes Kainos and warns Axis that he is dangerous.
  • Athena claims Kainos is a fraud and insists that Supergod has no brother. Axis, however, states that he has independently confirmed Kainos’s story and believes him to be Supergod’s true sibling.

Character Developments

  • Axis: Becomes increasingly calculating and ambitious. He agrees to help Kainos while secretly intending to seize his time power once Kainos reaches sufficient strength. He also develops interest in acquiring Godslaying Power, seeing it as another potential weapon against higher gods.
  • Kainos/Kairos: Reveals himself as a weakened God of Time who has been sealed and stripped of his power for countless ages. He manipulates Axis through promises of future supremacy but also provides credible information about Supergod, Pegasus, and Athena’s fate. His restoration to third-level god strength renews his confidence and revenge-driven determination.
  • Athena: Completes her evolution into a Primordial God after emerging from the golden cocoon. She becomes vastly more powerful and authoritative, views Hades’s death as politically insignificant, and remains suspicious of Kainos.
  • Supergod: Is characterized as extraordinarily powerful but imperfect, lacking a body and direct control over his incarnation. His vulnerability to Godslaying Power becomes a central strategic concern.
  • Pegasus: Gains greater importance as the bearer of the only known Godslaying Power. His ability is revealed to be a cosmic weapon that grows through successive god-slaying victories.

Significant Themes

  • Deception and hidden motives: Axis and Kainos both conceal their true intentions. Axis pretends to trust Kainos while planning to kill him, while Kainos uses promises and selective revelations to secure Axis’s help.
  • Power and exploitation: Divine alliances are treated as transactions. Characters cooperate only when they can gain tangible power, abilities, or strategic advantage.
  • Limits of gods: Even beings called gods can be incomplete, vulnerable, or dependent on special forces. Supergod’s lack of omnipotence and the need for Godslaying Power challenge the idea of absolute divinity.
  • Fate versus change: Kainos claims Athena’s death is inevitable across all universes, but Axis’s arrival may create a new turning point, suggesting that destiny can potentially be altered.
  • Cultivation through conflict: Godslaying Power grows by defeating increasingly powerful enemies, turning battles and divine wars into stages of development.

Important Character Interactions

  • Axis and Kainos: Conduct a tense negotiation based on mutual suspicion. Axis questions Kainos’s claims, tests his knowledge, and ultimately agrees to help him while maintaining a secret plan to steal his time power.
  • Kainos and Supergod: Their relationship is defined by betrayal, power theft, and revenge. Kainos seeks to regain his former strength and eventually kill his brother.
  • Kainos and Pegasus: Kainos views Pegasus as an essential weapon rather than merely a mortal hero. His past failure came from Tenma’s refusal to cooperate.
  • Axis and Athena: Axis returns to Athena’s temple and finds her transformed. Athena trusts Axis enough to question him directly but warns him against Kainos.
  • Athena and Kainos: Their reunion is hostile and distrustful. Athena remembers Kainos from the previous Holy War and immediately challenges his identity and intentions.
  • Axis and Athena: Their exchange establishes a conflict between Axis’s belief that Kainos is genuine and Athena’s conviction that he is a deceiver.

Chapter Summary: The Sun God Emperor Awakens

Key Plot Points

  1. Axis brings the Emperor to Athena's temple — The Emperor is in a critical state: he possesses vast Divine Power but hasn't awakened his own Divine Cosmo, and his power is dangerously unstable, threatening either self-destruction or permanent self-sealing.
  2. Awkward introductions — Axis explains his relationship with Athena to his father-in-law, revealing they've become spiritually bonded (effectively husband and wife). The Emperor accepts this gracefully, only hoping his daughter Kaisa and Athena can get along.
  3. The Emperor's unique Cosmo awakening — Unlike Axis (cosmic singularity) or Athena (wisdom/war), the Emperor's Divine Cosmo forms as a massive Psykic matrix / sacred reactor composed of geometric golden runes, fueled by humanity's collective hope, faith, and will—a product of his unique heritage as humanity's protector and steward of the Grand Supreme Kai power.
  4. Transformation complete — The Emperor's power evolves from its former cold, dark nature into a blazing, rational, sacred radiance. His strength immediately rivals that of a primordial god (equal to Athena), and he is identified as a sun god.
  5. Apollo confronts them — Sensing the new sun god's power, Apollo arrives in his sun chariot, mistakenly believing Athena has revived Abel. He accuses Athena of betrayal and challenges the Emperor's right to solar authority.
  6. Axis confronts Apollo — Axis angrily rebukes Apollo's arrogance, positioning the three of them (Axis, Athena, and the Emperor) against Olympus.

His nature has shifted from cold/sacred to warm/blazing. He demonstrates humility, patience, and wisdom—accepting Axis's new relationship without judgment and adapting instantly to new power systems.
  • Axis: Shows significant growth—where once Athena had to help him through intimate methods, he can now guide another primordial god's awakening with Athena's support. Becomes protective and assertive, confronting Apollo directly.
  • Athena: Continues as Axis's ally and partner, contributing her Cosmo to the process and providing context about the sun gods (Apollo and Abel).
  • Apollo: Introduced as an antagonist—proud, territorial, and unwilling to accept rivals to his divine authority.

Significant Themes

  • Power through collective will: The Emperor's Cosmo is fundamentally different—rooted in human hope rather than personal divinity, making his light warmer and more compassionate than typical sun gods.

  • New order forming: The alliance of Axis, Athena, and the Emperor now constitutes three primordial god-level beings—a power that should eclipse Olympus.

Ch. 454Invasion of Another Universe: Omega World

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Axis reflects on the power he has acquired in the DC universe. Omega Force and the Saint Seiya World’s Omega Cosmo are both multiversal in scale, while his own Destruction God Power has not yet reached that level.
  • He rejects the idea of killing Grail to seize her Omega Force, both because of his personal principles as a Saiyan and because Omega Force is unstable and can be used to possess others.

  • Axis, Ultraman, Grail, and the Emperor each acquire or forge stronger armor. The Emperor creates his own God Cloth using local materials and his divine blood.

  • The Emperor pledges his full support for Axis’s upcoming operation, which may allow Axis to reach multiversal power. His primary task will be monitoring Kairos, the God of Time.
  • Axis hopes to obtain Kairos’s time power to accelerate the growth of God Fruits and avoid waiting thousands of years for them to mature.
  • After a month of preparation and using intelligence from Icarus, Axis travels with his allies to another Saint Seiya universe, set more than twenty years after its Holy War.
  • In this universe, Athena previously lost a war against Mars, who was secretly controlled by Apsu, the God of Darkness. A new generation of Saints later reclaimed the Twelve Temples, awakened the older Saints, and saw Seiya defeat an Absolute God while wearing the Sagittarius Gold Cloth.
  • Athena is stunned by the account, considering it nearly impossible for a Saint—even one with the Eighth Sense and a God Cloth—to defeat an Absolute God.
  • Axis plans to target this universe’s Pegasus Saint instead of cultivating one himself. Kairos is uneasy about the plan but remains involved because he needs Axis’s divine power.
  • Athena proposes disguising herself as the alternate universe’s Athena, who supposedly lost to Axis and became his Underworld Queen. Axis will pose as himself in the role of an Underworld King, supported by his resurrected and newly created Specters.
  • Athena secretly suggests that their operation could eventually allow Axis to kill Apsu and seize his Absolute God Power. She argues that Apsu likely survived his apparent defeat and was merely weakened at the time.

Character Developments

  • Axis becomes increasingly strategic and cautious about the consequences of granting dangerous powers to ordinary beings. He is also actively pursuing a path toward multiversal-level existence.
  • The Emperor demonstrates a broader, more godlike perspective. He recognizes that empowering humanity is not always beneficial and commits himself to helping Axis succeed.
  • Athena takes a more active strategic role, using her intelligence to design their invasion plan and proposing a convincing false identity for herself.
  • Ultraman remains cooperative and is willing to wait for a more suitable goddess rather than pursuing Grail.
  • Grail remains eager to prove herself and wants to test her God Cosmo against Ultraman after her earlier defeat.
  • Kairos is revealed to be both useful and potentially dangerous. He has reservations about Axis’s plan and may be hiding information, making him the operation’s greatest uncertainty.
  • The Emperor and Axis continue to develop a close father-in-law and son-in-law relationship based on mutual loyalty and indebtedness.

Significant Themes

  • Power and responsibility: The chapter emphasizes that giving mortals planet-destroying abilities could destabilize an entire universe.
  • Growth beyond humanity’s perspective: The Emperor begins to think like a cosmic god rather than merely humanity’s protector.
  • Strategic manipulation: Axis and Athena plan to conquer the new universe by adopting false identities and exploiting its political and divine conflicts.
  • The dangers of overwhelming power: Omega Force, Cosmo, time manipulation, and Absolute God Power all carry risks beyond their obvious benefits.
  • Multiversal ambition: Axis’s actions are increasingly focused on acquiring enough power to transcend the limits of a single universe.
  • The persistence of divine beings: The discussion of Apsu suggests that beings at the Absolute God level are extremely difficult to truly kill.

Character Interactions

  • Axis tells Ultraman to abandon his pursuit of Grail, promising to help him find a more suitable goddess later.
  • The Emperor praises Cosmo and its training methods, while Axis explains its potential to produce large numbers of Gold Saints.
  • Axis and the Emperor debate whether humanity should be given access to Cosmo or other destructive powers.
  • The Emperor promises to protect Axis from Kairos, confident that a Level Three God of Time cannot oppose a Primordial God.
  • Athena explains her invasion strategy to Axis and privately shares her plan to target Apsu’s hidden power.
  • Kairos questions Axis’s decision to attack the alternate universe directly, preferring to cultivate a Pegasus Saint through a different approach.
  • Athena’s reaction to Seiya’s victory highlights the extraordinary gap between ordinary Saints and Absolute Gods, reinforcing the unusual nature of the alternate universe’s Pegasus Saint.

Ch. 456Three-Way Melee, Killing the Four Heavenly Kings, Reaching Chaos

Chapter Summary: “Three-Way Melee, Killing the Four Heavenly Kings, Reaching Chaos”

Key Plot Points and Events

  • The Saints react with outrage and disbelief when they learn that an alternate version of Athena, called Axis’s queen, has married Hades and leads an Underworld army.
  • Ultraman immediately attacks Athena’s Gold Saints, but Athena protects Kiki with her shield. Ultraman shatters Kiki’s Crystal Wall with one punch and severely cracks Athena’s shield, demonstrating overwhelming physical strength even without using Cosmo.
  • Axis’s resurrected Specters from the previous Holy War, including the powerful former Three Judges and Divine Wyvern Rhadamanthys, enter the battle. Empowered with divine blood, they attack both the Saints and Saturn’s Pallasites.
  • The battlefield becomes a three-way conflict between Athena’s Saints, Pallas’s Pallasites, and Axis’s Specters. Recognizing the danger and uncertainty, Saori orders her Saints to withdraw and conserve their strength.
  • Grail, the Omega Goddess, engages Koga and his companions. Rather than killing them, she deliberately pressures them to awaken and reveal the full extent of their Omega power.
  • Thanatos and Hypnos challenge the Pallasites’ Four Heavenly Kings. Thanatos fights Aegaeon, Hypnos targets Gallia, and Ultraman confronts the strongest pair, Hyperion and Titan.
  • Ultraman utterly dominates Hyperion. He blocks and shatters Hyperion’s sacred sword with his bare hands, crushes his armor, tears off his limbs, and kills him.
  • Titan attacks to protect Pallas, but Ultraman withstands the power of Heavenly God Creation Sword, catches it in his palm, and knocks Titan away with a single kick.
  • Hypnos defeats Gallia through hypnotic illusions, causing her to fall into eternal sleep. Thanatos overwhelms Aegaeon, destroys his weapon and armor, and defeats him.
  • The resurrected Specters massacre many Saints and Pallasite soldiers, while Saori’s Gold Saints form a defensive retreat around her.
  • In the background, Axis and the alternate Athena successfully reach the temple in Chaos Land, where the Absolute God Aps lies dormant. Their true objective is to hunt and potentially kill this Absolute God.
  • Emperor remains at the edge of the galaxy, guarding time and watching for Saturn, while the battle at Sanctuary serves as a distraction from the real conflict in Chaos Land.

Character Developments

  • Ultraman is established as an extraordinarily confident and brutal God of Strength. His invulnerability allows him to ignore sacred weapons that can destroy divine realms, and he relishes fighting powerful opponents. His actions reveal a cruel, predatory side as he kills Hyperion.
  • Saori Kido/Athena demonstrates strategic judgment. Although shocked by the alternate Athena’s alliance with Hades, she quickly recognizes that the new arrivals create an opportunity for her forces to withdraw and let the enemy factions weaken one another.
  • Kiki and the Gold Saints are forced to confront enemies far beyond the strength of ordinary opponents. Their confidence in their traditional defenses is shaken when Ultraman destroys Crystal Wall effortlessly.
  • Grail is portrayed as a sadistic but purposeful combatant. She toys with Koga and his friends, following Axis’s orders to provoke the awakening of their Omega power.
  • Koga and the new generation Saints show unity and determination, attacking Grail together through the strength of friendship, though they remain badly outmatched.
  • Hyperion and Titan are revealed to be powerful compared with ordinary warriors but fundamentally inferior to a true god. Hyperion’s defeat destroys his confidence and exposes the vast gap between the Pallasites and divine beings.
  • Thanatos and Hypnos behave as experienced, arrogant veterans who quickly overpower their assigned Pallasite opponents.
  • The resurrected Specters, especially those from the Lost Canvas era, are presented as vastly stronger and more experienced than the current generation of Underworld warriors.

Significant Themes

  • Power disparity: The chapter emphasizes the enormous difference between mortals, Saints, Pallasites, second-class gods, and true gods. Sacred weapons and elite armor prove useless against Ultraman’s divine body.
  • Strategic opportunism: Saori chooses retreat rather than waste strength in a chaotic battle, while Axis uses the Sanctuary conflict as a diversion for his real attack.
  • Identity and manipulation: The Pallasites believe they serve Pallas, but Ultraman points out that their sacred swords were actually granted by Saturn, raising questions about their true allegiance and whether Pallas is merely being used.
  • Alternate selves and distorted loyalties: The revelation that another Athena has become Hades’s queen challenges the Saints’ assumptions about their goddess and highlights the differences between parallel worlds.
  • Friendship and awakening: Grail’s assault on Koga and his companions is designed to force them to unlock Omega power, linking suffering and battle to growth.
  • War as misdirection: The visible three-way battle is ultimately a feint. The decisive confrontation is beginning in Chaos Land, where Axis seeks to advance his multiversal ambitions by killing an Absolute God.

Character Interactions

  • Ultraman and Kiki/Athena: Ultraman attacks the Gold Saints but refrains from harming Athena due to Axis’s orders. Athena intervenes to save Kiki, though her shield is damaged.
  • Ultraman and Hyperion/Titan: Ultraman mocks the Pallasites’ belief that they serve Pallas and challenges both strongest Heavenly Kings at once. He kills Hyperion and defeats Titan while attempting to claim his sacred sword.
  • Grail and Koga’s group: Grail singles out Koga because of his Omega power and forces him and his companions into a coordinated battle, deliberately prolonging the fight to stimulate their growth.
  • Thanatos and Aegaeon / Hypnos and Gallia: Thanatos defeats Aegaeon through superior destructive power, while Hypnos incapacitates Gallia with hypnotic illusions.
  • Saori and the Gold Saints: Saori orders Seiya, Shiryu, Fudo, Kiki, Harbinger, and the others to escort her away and preserve their strength. Seiya and Shiryu express confusion about the alternate Athena, Grail, and Ultraman.

  • Axis absorbs Saturn’s remaining time power, greatly increasing his understanding and mastery of temporal laws.

  • Athena is vindicated in her faith and judgment regarding Axis. She becomes both his companion and an influential divine figure in the new multiverse, while also subtly guiding Axis during the battle.
  • Koga demonstrates immense courage by unleashing his full Omega Force to protect Saori and his companions, but his heroic resolve ultimately leads to his death and the theft of his Godslaying Power.

Significant Themes

  • The end of one world and the beginning of another: The collapse of the original cosmic balance gives way to Axis’s newly created multiverse, marking the definitive conclusion of the story.

Ch. 459The Author's Recommended New Novel, Also a Warhammer Story

Summary

The story follows Luo De, who transmigrates into the Ultraman universe and is genetically altered by Alien Reiblood, becoming a powerful Reionics capable of capturing and controlling monsters with a Battle Nizer. Before he can capture his first creature, he is unexpectedly transported to the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
Although the Warhammer galaxy contains none of the familiar monsters from his original world, Luo De quickly identifies its powerful species as suitable replacements. His first target is the Orks, whose Waaagh! energy allows them to grow from ordinary warriors into enormous Warbosses capable of rivaling Emperor-class Titans. He next plans to capture a Tyranid Hive Queen and seize control of the Hive Mind’s vast armies, gaining hundreds of millions of Tyranids for his own forces. His third objective is an undivided daemon, which he intends to use in a plan to cultivate a new Chaos God.
As Luo De’s power and ambitions grow, he becomes a threat to every major faction in the galaxy. The Inquisition considers him a heretic, the Chaos Gods seek to exploit or control him, the Tyranid Hive Mind views him as prey, and the Eldar fear the consequences of his rise. Humans, Orks, Chaos forces, Eldar, and Necrons are all positioned as potential enemies—or future subjects—of his expanding empire.

Character Development

  • Luo De evolves from a newly arrived Reionics with an empty Battle Nizer into an ambitious conqueror seeking to command the galaxy’s most dangerous lifeforms.
  • His goals escalate from capturing individual monsters to controlling entire species and creating a new Chaos God.
  • He is portrayed as confident, opportunistic, and willing to exploit the rivalries and biological powers of every faction.

Major Themes

  • Power and domination: Luo De seeks to impose his will over the entire Milky Way.
  • Cross-universe adaptation: Ultraman-style monster control is applied to the brutal ecology and factions of Warhammer 40K.
  • Escalating ambition: Each planned conquest is larger than the last, moving from Orks to Tyranids to daemons and ultimately galactic rule.
  • Conflict between factions: Luo De’s rise threatens to disrupt the existing balance among humanity, Chaos, the Tyranids, Eldar, Orks, and Necrons.

Character Interactions

The excerpt mainly establishes future conflicts rather than depicting completed encounters. Luo De is set against nearly every major intelligent species in the galaxy:

  • The Orks are his intended first captives.
  • The Tyranids, particularly a Hive Queen, are targets for his Battle Nizer and future army.
  • An undivided daemon is intended to support his plan to create a new Chaos God.
  • The Inquisition, Chaos, Hive Mind, and Eldar each respond to him as a heretic, threat, resource, predator, or existential danger.
    Overall, the passage serves as a high-concept premise for a power-fantasy crossover in which Luo De builds an unstoppable legion from Warhammer’s most terrifying creatures.
