They gathered allies and flew toward its core to retrieve Mother's right arm and the Proof, where they encountered corrupted legendary Great Demons.

• Tsukimi Mei and Li Yu explained that an escaped Evil God Consciousness Fragment had corrupted the Black-Skinned Monsters and was driving the Sea of Corpses to spread across Hokkaido.

• As the transport plane approached the core, the group saw living and dead legendary Great Demons swept along by the Sea of Corpses, with some living ones corrupted by the Evil God's power.

Fang Cheng and his allies attacked the corrupted General Khun Phaen and Kuman Thong in the Sea of Corpses. Fang Cheng fought General Khun Phaen while Li Yu shrank Kuman Thong, and the chapter ended with General Khun Phaen invading Fang Cheng’s mind and Fang Cheng punching him.

• Fang Cheng identified General Khun Phaen and Kuman Thong as corrupted Calamity-Class Monsters and saw that General Khun Phaen had attached the Death Angel’s right arm.
• General Khun Phaen attacked the transport plane, and Ibaraki-doji, Ugou Mirai, and a fox tail barely stopped his sword wave.

• Kuman Thong transformed into a giant and attacked Fang Cheng and Li Yu, but Li Yu used Size Manipulation to shrink him and kicked him away.

• General Khun Phaen invaded Fang Cheng’s mind with Spirit Possession Curse and shouted for him to die, but Fang Cheng punched him in the face.

Fang Cheng overwhelmed General Khun Phaen’s curses and fought him through his Talba-powered transformation, while Li Yu and Kanzaki Rin’s group battled the other monsters. After Talba’s power expired, General Khun Phaen fled as a flying head, and Kuman Thong flew toward him, leaving Fang Cheng and Li Yu stunned by what they saw.

• Fang Cheng resisted General Khun Phaen’s curses and poison, then beat him in close combat and severed his limbs.
• General Khun Phaen used the Flying Head Curse and then Nuoshu to summon Talba, transforming into a three-headed, six-armed Evil God.

• Talba’s power expired after General Khun Phaen’s all-out attack failed to penetrate Fang Cheng’s Steel Body, and the summoning left him gravely wounded.
• General Khun Phaen fled by sending his head toward the sky, and Kuman Thong broke away from Li Yu to fly toward him, shocking Fang Cheng and Li Yu.

General Khun Phaen stole most of the Proofs, but Fang Cheng revealed that two were hidden beyond his reach. The Evil God Consciousness Fragment began forcing open a true door for the Evil God, and Fang Cheng led the others into the towering giant formed from the Sea of Corpses to stop it.

• General Khun Phaen swallowed Kuman Thong to restore his strength, then summoned Phra Ngang, which stole Li Yu's Proofs.
• Phra Ngang fused the Proofs it had gathered, but Fang Cheng revealed that two were missing because his clone had hidden them at the edge of the Subspace.
• Phra Ngang plunged into the Sea of Corpses as the bodies gathered into a whirlpool, and Tsukimi Mei warned that the Evil God Consciousness Fragment was forcing open a real door.
• Tsukimi Mei told Fang Cheng to use Mother's Left Hand, then left Ye Yuqing's body as the others prepared to fight the Evil God Consciousness Fragment.
• Fang Cheng and the others fought through the giant's defenses and entered its body; Li Yu engaged General Khun Phaen and the Great Monsters while Fang Cheng searched for the fragment.

Fang Cheng and Li Yu struggled to locate the Evil God Consciousness Fragment as it fed corpses into a growing Black Hole to open a door. After the giant’s arms regenerated and the Black Hole began pulling in their attacks, Fang Cheng created a one-kilometer steel sphere and dropped it toward the giant.

• The Evil God Consciousness Fragment fled through the giant’s corpse-filled body while Fang Cheng and Li Yu searched for it, then the two left empty-handed.
• Ye Yuqing relayed Tsukimi Mei’s warning that the fragment was sacrificing the corpses’ power to force open a door, and Kanzaki Rin directed the group to attack the giant’s arms.
• Fang Cheng and Li Yu broke the giant’s arms, but the arms regenerated while Great Demons attacked and the Black Hole grew stronger.
• The Black Hole began pulling in attacks and drawing the fighters toward it, so Fang Cheng ordered everyone to retreat and flew high above the giant.
• Fang Cheng formed a sphere of seawater, changed it into blood and then steel, and released it toward the giant as his move, “Heavenly Obstruction Star.”

Fang Cheng and Li Yu prepared a risky plan to stop the Evil God Consciousness Fragment after Fang Cheng's iron blood sphere failed to destroy the Black Hole. When the gate opened and the fragment was shielded, Li Yu revealed her true form as a carp capable of leaping over the Dragon Gate.

• Fang Cheng's iron blood sphere struck the Black Hole but failed to destroy it, and the Evil God Consciousness Fragment emerged from the giant to taunt him.
• Li Yu proposed letting the fragment open the gate so they could attack during the brief moment it received protection, while Izanae warned Fang Cheng that Mother's Left Arm could restrain the fragment but not destroy it at the same time.
• Fang Cheng and Li Yu agreed to try a risky plan, then returned to the others to explain it and prepare.
• Li Yu used Calling Wind and Summoning Rain to cover the land in storm clouds, rain, and thunder as the Sea of Corpses fed the Black Hole.
• The Black Hole opened into a gate, and starlight from beyond it shielded the Evil God Consciousness Fragment.
• Li Yu transformed into a golden, serpent-like carp in the storm clouds, and Fang Cheng realized she was the Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate.

Li Yu and Fang Cheng launched a coordinated assault on the Evil God Consciousness Fragment as it emerged through the gate. Fang Cheng captured the fragment and fled upward, but the darkness from within the gate pursued him.

• Tamamo-no-Mae revealed that Li Yu was Shancai Dragon Maiden, a dragon and immortal.
• As the Evil God began emerging from the gate, Li Yu's dragon's roar signaled Fang Cheng and the others to attack.

• Li Yu struck the possessed Great Demon with her Dragon Pearl as Fang Cheng used Shadow Leap to reach it and bind the exposed fragment into a black ball.
• Fang Cheng chained Shadow Leaps through his prepared clones to escape upward, but the darkness from within the gate raced after him.

Fang Cheng sent the Evil God Consciousness Fragment into Subspace and escaped, ending the immediate threat. He returned to a calm battlefield, where Ugou Mirai embraced him while Ye Yuqing objected.

• Li Yu intercepted the black line aimed at Fang Cheng, giving him time to enter the aurora, while Kanzaki Rin and the others destroyed the corpse giant and the gate collapsed.

• Li Yu explained that bringing the Lord of Ten Thousand Monsters into being was the only way to deal with the Evil God's power lingering in the Sea of Corpses, and Fang Cheng chose Ugou Mirai for the title.
• Fang Cheng gave Li Yu the two Proof pieces he had and went to General Khun Phaen's body, where he removed his mother's right arm.
• Izanae explained that the Death Knight could use Mother's Body only because his Lord's tattoo granted him that ability, and that using the body prevented a god from descending into the user.
• Fang Cheng merged with the right arm and gained 1,253 lives as fragmented memories showed a spaceship descending toward Earth roughly two hundred years earlier.
• Fang Cheng completed a third fragment of the human figure shown by the system as the right arm fused with his body.

Fang Cheng absorbed the Proof and unexpectedly became the Lord of Ten Thousand Monsters, gaining the power to command every monster. He suspected Tsukimi Mei and Izanae had engineered the outcome, while Ugou Mirai accepted his new title and demanded a kiss as compensation.

• Li Yu gave Fang Cheng the glowing Proof after he confirmed it should go to Ugou Mirai, and touching it triggered a memory of Mother arguing with a giant face formed from the sea.
• The Proof vanished into Fang Cheng, and he discovered that the system had granted him the Lord of Ten Thousand Monsters ability.
• Tsukimi Mei argued that the Proof had recognized Fang Cheng as a monster, then denied deliberately arranging the outcome; Fang Cheng suspected she was lying and that she and Izanae had planned it.

• Fang Cheng sent the black sphere toward the Rift in Subspace, returned transformed by the power he had absorbed, and learned he might need to leave a clone behind to guard the door.
• Fang Cheng asked Izanae whether he could take some of the monsters' power, then weighed that choice against the danger of allowing the Evil God to invade Earth.
• The system began absorbing the power slowly, and Fang Cheng wondered whether it, too, wanted him to leave the power behind.

After learning more about his duty to guard the gate, Fang Cheng returned with Li Yu to the hot spring, where their arrival shocked the people waiting there.
