Chapter Summaries

Marquis Voban considered seeking an Authority that could enhance intelligence and learning, while the Chat Group discussed how its task rewards reflected each member’s strengths. Riku revealed that his reward was a sweeping blessing for Human Civilization, leaving the group struck by its scale and purpose.

• Marquis Voban rejected several gods as unsuitable targets and considered searching for powers that could improve intelligence, comprehension, learning, and creative inspiration.
• Tony Stark explained that his task reward had enhanced his scientific research talent, which he took as recognition of his genius and a reason to focus more on science than Runic Technology.
• Umaru Doma wondered what rewards would best suit Riku and Grey Wolf after Loki’s reward enhanced Asgard and Tony’s enhanced his research talent.
• Riku revealed his reward, Human Civilization Overall Ascension +1, which strengthened humanity’s aptitude, wisdom, unity, resilience, and fortune.
• Loki recognized the reward as fitting Riku’s concern for humanity, while Tony reflected on the difference between protecting civilization as an individual and loving humanity as a whole.

Tony considered how the Chat Group’s rewards reflected each member’s deepest nature, and Grey Wolf received an ability to answer crises across parallel worlds through bonds and guardianship. After claiming it, Grey Wolf felt his connections with family, friends, and the grasslands grow stronger and begin reaching toward other worlds.

• Tony compared his love for humanity with Riku’s and wondered what reward would suit Grey Wolf.
• Grey Wolf uploaded his reward, Bond Resonance: Heart of the Guardian, which let him hear certain calls from parallel worlds and travel to help those connected to him.
• The Chat Group members recognized the reward as a reflection of Grey Wolf’s instinct to protect his family, friends, and the Green Green Grasslands.
• Grey Wolf initially questioned the reward but imagined impressing weaker versions of himself and rescuing other worlds’ Pleasant Goats.
• Grey Wolf claimed the reward, and its warm power connected him more deeply to his loved ones, friends, and the grasslands.
• As the reward fused with him, Grey Wolf sensed those bonds reaching toward parallel worlds with other versions of himself and his companions.

Grey Wolf felt a brief resonance after Bond Resonance: Heart of the Guardian merged with him and prepared to answer a future call, though no distress signal had actually reached him. In Stark Tower, Tony Stark claimed his reward and underwent a vast leap in research talent, leaving him eager to build a new theoretical framework.

• Grey Wolf sensed a fleeting ripple that reminded him of Pleasant Goat and resolved to become a worthy guardian for other worlds.
• The narration explained that Grey Wolf’s sensation came from the ability’s initial activation, while a genuine call from another world had yet to occur.
• Tony Stark claimed his reward from the Chat Group and experienced a profound transformation in his thinking.
• Tony ordered Jarvis to record the changes and display his new ideas, which ranged across physics, engineering, biology, computing, and magic.
• Tony directed Jarvis to allocate computing resources to a proposed meta-model unifying scientific and magical systems.
• Tony reflected that enhancing his research talent might have raised him to a different level sooner than pursuing power-focused rewards.

Tony used his newfound inspiration to declare that he and Jarvis would lead humanity into space, while Loki claimed a reward that strengthened Asgard’s origin and its people. The blessing empowered Loki through his bond with Asgard, and he set his sights on making the realm known across the Myriad Worlds.

• Tony told Jarvis to help lead Earth and human civilization beyond its cradle and into the stars.
• Loki claimed the Chat Group reward, triggering the sublimation of Asgard’s origin.
• Asgard’s rules, defenses, land, people, bloodlines, and prospects for prosperity were strengthened by the reward.
• Asgard’s strengthened origin empowered Loki through Gungnir, improving his abilities and deepening his connection to the Divine Domain.
• Loki declared that the new Asgardian foundation was only a beginning and vowed to spread Asgard’s name across the Myriad Worlds.

Asgard's origin sublimation rippled into another Marvel Universe, strengthening that world's Asgard while diverting its blessing away from Odin. Loki sensed the connection between the worlds and considered meeting his alternate self, then turned back to consolidating his power and developing Asgard.

• Odin woke from a dream of Loki as King and sensed that Asgard's land, people, and origin had grown stronger.
• Odin discovered that Asgard's blessing had been diverted from him, then fell back into Odin Sleep before he could learn why.
• Loki sensed a ripple in his connection to Asgard and realized it came from the merged universe and its other Asgard.
• Loki wondered whether he might meet and eventually merge with his alternate self, but set those questions aside to focus on Asgard's future.
• Bai Xuan continued nourishing his world's foundation and potential as it absorbed knowledge and power brought back from Transmigrator Missions.

Bai Xuan witnessed his world naturally branch from a single universe into a Multiverse Prototype, with countless parallel universes forming from its possibilities. As he observed them, different worlds began developing varied supernatural systems, and he chose not to interfere or spend his guaranteed Enhancement Count.

• Bai Xuan's world reached a new level and branched into countless independent Parallel Universes rooted in the same World Tree-like foundation.
• Bai Xuan perceived the newborn Multiverse Prototype through his connection as a Child of the Heavens and decided to let it mature naturally rather than use his Enhancement Count.
• As Bai Xuan observed the Parallel Universes, some developed civilizations shaped by mechanical ascension, virtual reality, extraterrestrial contact, or internal conflict.
• Bai Xuan noticed his observation coinciding with supernatural changes in some worlds, including Psionic Particles, awakening Elf bloodlines and Magic, mutant Crystal Cores, and oceanic psychic life.
• Bai Xuan concluded that the Multiverse Prototype could support many different supernatural paths, and he left those worlds to develop without interference.

Bai Xuan realized that the rule fragments he had brought back from other worlds had helped his home universe develop into a Multiverse Prototype. The world’s feedback transformed him and raised his existence close to the multiversal level, though he still needed time to absorb the power fully.

• Bai Xuan understood that his [Child of the Heavens] Status had let him bring rule fragments from other worlds into his own, enriching its Rule Library and enabling its transformation into a Multiverse Prototype.
• As the newborn Parallel Worlds began to develop, the world’s Power of Existence and Rule Information Torrent gathered around Bai Xuan.
• Bai Xuan traveled from Earth to deep space and opened himself to the Multiverse Prototype’s information, rules, and World Origin Power.
• The feedback transformed Bai Xuan’s body, soul, energy, and Status, bringing him beyond the Single Universe level and close to the multiversal tier.
• Bai Xuan recognized that he could wield the world’s Authority almost without restriction, but needed months, or at most a year, to consolidate the power into his normal state.
• Bai Xuan concluded that his world would eventually become a true Multiverse as its Parallel Worlds continued to evolve and grow.

Bai Xuan transformed the Book of Ages into a network of volumes that recorded every Parallel World, helping the newborn Multiverse Prototype’s World Will stabilize and grow. He declined its offer to enhance his Small World and World Tree, then went to Arles, where Jeanne helped repel a Beast Tide and save the city.

• Bai Xuan infused the Book of Ages with the Multiverse Prototype’s power and spread its volumes across every Parallel World to record their histories.
• The World Will thanked Bai Xuan and offered to enhance his Small World and World Tree, but he declined so it could focus on stabilizing the Multiverse.
• Bai Xuan traveled to Arles in Gaul, where a Beast Tide led by Mutant Rhinoceros variants threatened to break the city’s defenses.
• Jeanne arrived at the failing defensive line, raised a sacred barrier, healed and rallied the defenders, and led a counterattack that drove back the Beast Tide.

After helping Arles survive a monster attack, Jeanne urged its people to rebuild their own hope, then joined them in clearing rubble and rescuing survivors. As they watched her work, the townspeople debated whether she could truly be Joan of Arc, who had died centuries earlier.

• Jeanne rejected the survivors’ praise and told them that their courage and cooperation had held Arles.
• A wounded man and a scarred young woman explained that years of losses had worn down their faith in self-reliance, and they had clung to Jeanne as a source of hope.
• Jeanne acknowledged their despair, promised to carry hope to other places, and urged them to rekindle and pass on their own light.
• Jeanne lifted a concrete beam and joined civilians in clearing rubble and rescuing the wounded.
• An old soldier and a young woman compared Jeanne’s actions with accounts of Joan of Arc and questioned who she could be if she was not the long-dead saint.

Survivors in Arles came to trust Jeanne as the Saintess who brought them hope, while Gaul’s leaders debated how to use her influence and whether she was truly Jeanne d’Arc returned from history. The chapter ended with an old official arguing that Gaul had not deliberately betrayed Jeanne, citing Charles VII’s failed efforts to prevent her capture and transfer.

• Survivors in Arles worked beside Jeanne and gathered around her, seeing her as a source of hope after she rescued them.
• Gaul’s leaders discussed Jeanne’s impact on morale and agreed to uphold her identity as Saintess Jeanne to strengthen national unity.
• A young advisor asked whether Jeanne was the historical Maiden of Orleans herself and questioned why she would return to save a country that had abandoned her.
• The advisor described Jeanne’s capture, trial, and execution, arguing that Charles VII and Gaul had betrayed her.
• The old man replied that Gaul had not subjectively betrayed Jeanne and said Charles VII had warned Burgundy and attempted to block her transfer, but lacked the power to succeed.

An old man explained why Jeanne might still save Gaul despite the betrayal and hostility she faced. At the Imperial Capital Research Institute, researchers successfully refined a fragment of the Ice Crystal Flower into Ice Soul Condensation Elixirs, though the potent pills were dangerous for anyone below the Third Sequence.

• The old man told the young advisor that Jeanne had fought for Gaul and its people, not for any particular king or era.
• Researchers at the Imperial Capital Research Institute prepared to cut a fragment from the Ice Crystal Flower, which Qin Tian, Huo Yu, Chen Bing, Lin Kai, and the others had brought back from the Land of Extreme Cold.
• The Ice Crystal Flower resisted the cutting, but the researchers used a specialized blade and energy support to remove a tiny fragment and capture it with about 33% activity remaining.
• The researchers placed the fragment in the Nine-Turn Convergence Furnace, added auxiliary materials, and used a carefully balanced energy cycle to refine it.
• The furnace produced three Ice Soul Condensation Elixirs, which testing showed could benefit compatible Third Sequence Espers but could freeze or harm weaker users.

Academician Wang’s research team produced three defective Ice Soul Condensation Elixirs from fragments of the Ice Crystal Flower, but he resisted Liu Suifeng’s demand to rush production and distribute them. Liu persuaded him to transfer the pills for testing on powerful Espers, then left with the case, hoping to secure scarce resources for the front lines before they entered the contribution-point system.

• Academician Wang reported that the nineteenth Spirit Refining experiment had produced three Ice Soul Condensation Elixirs, with severe activity loss and many unresolved questions.
• Liu Suifeng demanded the three pills and urged the research team to improve efficiency and pursue stable mass production for Huaxia’s Espers.
• Academician Wang rebuked Liu, insisting that research required time, careful testing, and respect for the risks of the Ice Crystal Flower.
• Liu argued that the pills were concentrated, relatively gentle Spirit Energy essence and could benefit powerful Espers such as Qin Tian and Huo Yu.
• Academician Wang agreed to transfer the pills on the condition that the research data be synchronized in real time, and Liu left with the sealed case.
• Liu reflected that he wanted to secure the scarce pills before they entered the strict contribution-point exchange system.

Liu Suifeng considered which Third Sequence Espers should receive scarce resources, while Qin Tian cultivated after reaching a new Realm and realized he needed rarer, more powerful treasures. Huo Yu told him that Saint Light, Fallen, and Druid had found a dangerous secret realm in Kamchatka Death Valley, and Qin Tian agreed to cooperate on Huaxia’s terms.

• Liu Suifeng weighed several Third Sequence candidates for scarce resources and decided to consult senior officials before making a choice.
• Qin Tian cultivated in a mountain range, where his Flame Dragon aura frightened nearby Mutant Creatures, then reflected that his growth had slowed after entering a new Realm.
• Qin Tian received Huo Yu’s call about a fire-attributed Heavenly Treasure in a secret realm near Kamchatka Death Valley.
• Huo Yu explained that Saint Light, Fallen, and Druid had found the site hazardous, with toxic miasma and nearly ten First Sequence-level lifeforms inside.
• Qin Tian agreed to cooperate and instructed Huo Yu to forbid unauthorized entry or disclosure, while making clear that Huaxia would lead the expedition.

Saint Light, Fallen, and Druid surveyed Death Valley and found at least five First Sequence-level Mutant Creatures guarding the rift, so they planned to ask Qin Tian and his allies for help. As the trio waited, a savage roar and growing pressure suggested Death Valley was awakening.

• Druid completed his seventh scan and detected at least four First Sequence-level life signals near the rift valley.
• Saint Light sensed a hidden creature in a poisonous swamp, while Fallen detected another near a lava flow.
• The three concluded they could not safely enter the rift alone and agreed to seek Qin Tian and his allies, sharing resources according to contribution.
• Druid sensed a First Sequence-level creature's signal flare, and a savage roar from the rift sent nearby Mutant Scorpions fleeing.

Tony tested his Anti-God King Armor against Loki in the Virtual Battle Arena, and their powers of reality and lies clashed through an escalating battle. They unleashed their strongest attacks at the same time, leaving the outcome unresolved as the attacks collided.

• Loki challenged Tony to prove that his custom Anti-God King Armor could defeat him.
• Tony attacked with the Reality Stone and tried to trap Loki in a temporal cycle, but Loki denied the attacks with his Authority of Lies.
• Loki struck Tony with Gungnir and lies that targeted the armor, while Tony used reality and spatial defenses to withstand the assault.
• Tony and Loki exchanged close-range blows and fought across the virtual battlefield, damaging the armor and leaving both with disordered auras.
• Tony and Loki agreed to end their test with one final strike and gathered their power for their strongest attacks.
• Tony unleashed a tri-colored torrent while Loki threw Gungnir with his Authority of Lies, and the attacks collided.

Tony and Loki fought to a draw in the Virtual Battle Arena, destroying a galaxy before both returned to reality. Tony planned to improve his armor, while Loki resolved to pursue war and conquest to strengthen himself and Asgard.

• Tony and Loki's attacks created a Black Hole that swallowed them after they acknowledged their battle had ended in a draw.
• Tony awoke in his laboratory and said he had already found flaws in the Anti-God King Armor and would build a stronger version.
• Loki returned unharmed to Asgard, recognized that Tony could improve rapidly, and resolved to launch a new war to gain resources and strengthen Asgard.
• Su Yunqing asked whether Tony could combine his own power with the armor, and Tony explained that it already integrated his abilities into a single system.
• Su Yunqing praised Tony's progress and compared his potential with Riku's, while Tony said matching Riku would require scientific ability like Grey Wolf's.
• Loki announced that he would conquer the Universe for resources and told Tony that their next battle might have a different winner.

Su Yunqing, Loki, Tony, and Marquis Voban debated whether relentless power-seeking and wartime plunder were worth prioritizing over steady development and personal bonds. Kaito Kuroba then asked about the Chat Group’s Lottery Function after fishing up an ordinary coin, while Su Yunqing’s joke reminded Madara Uchiha of an embarrassing past catch.

• Su Yunqing advised Loki to develop Asgard’s conquered territories and use the Chat Group’s knowledge to build sustainable strength, but Loki argued that war could provide resources and experience faster than peaceful development.
• Tony said the group had time to grow safely, while Marquis Voban agreed with Loki that an extreme, unbounded pursuit of power was what drove true powerhouses.
• Tony countered that a life focused only on power could leave no value in the journey, and Marquis Voban insisted that emotional bonds and comfort weakened the will.
• Su Yunqing argued that Marquis Voban’s drive was not pure because rivals such as Madara Uchiha, Shendu, and Loki had spurred him, and she named Cult Master Luo Hao as the group’s true power-seeker.
• Kaito Kuroba asked whether the Lottery Function drew only from group members’ worlds, explaining that he had earned Points but had fished up an ordinary coin instead.
• Su Yunqing laughed and mentioned that someone had once caught a Steel Pipe that came with dancing, causing Madara Uchiha to remember his humiliating experience.

Kaito Kuroba spent 20,000 Points on Lucky Draws, receiving mostly ordinary items before winning a fragment that could distort perception and blur reality with illusion. The chapter ended with him stunned by the fragment’s power and unsure which world it came from.

• Kaito Kuroba took Su Yunqing’s advice and used the Lucky Draw function, spending 1,000 Points on a ton of high-quality anthracite.
• He kept drawing and spent another 9,000 Points on assorted items, including a folding chair, a cooking guide, and a single-use Cleaning Spell scroll.
• Despite his misgivings, Kaito Kuroba spent another 10,000 Points on ten more draws and received several magician-themed items and other miscellaneous prizes.
• The seventh draw in the second batch gave Kaito Kuroba a trace amount of Space Dust, followed by a temporary Presence Concealment card and a single-use lockpick.
• Kaito Kuroba’s final draw yielded a Curtain of Illusion and Reality fragment, which could interfere with perception and create simple illusions.
• Kaito Kuroba studied the fragment’s description and wondered which world it came from.

Kaito Kuroba drew a fragment of the Curtain of Illusion and Reality, and the Chat Group discovered it came from a parallel world in Bai Xuan’s world system. Bai Xuan explained that his world had already ascended into a Multiverse Prototype, leaving the group stunned by his new Quasi-Multiverse-level strength.

• Kaito Kuroba drew the Curtain of Illusion and Reality fragment and shared it with the Chat Group.
• Su Yunqing and Tony questioned where the fragment came from, while Loki suggested searching the Chat Group Mall.
• The Mall revealed that the complete Curtain was a conceptual creation from a parallel world in Bai Xuan’s world system and described its powers and origin.
• Bai Xuan recalled that his world’s ascension had generated countless parallel worlds and naturally derived Deities and conceptual creations.
• Su Yunqing and Tony concluded that a previous mission reward had triggered the ascension, while Loki recognized that Bai Xuan had reached Quasi-Multiverse-level strength.

Bai Xuan explained that his Child of the Heavens Status had let his world absorb other worlds’ Rules and develop countless power systems across its Parallel Universes. Su Yunqing won a rare Pure Heart of Elements (Water) after several disappointing lottery rounds, and Tony began testing the lottery himself.

• Su Yunqing questioned how Bai Xuan’s Reiki Revival world had developed unrelated power systems, and Bai Xuan explained that his Status let him incorporate other worlds’ Rules into his own.
• Su Yunqing used the Lottery Function several times, drawing mostly ordinary items before winning a Pure Heart of Elements (Water) for four hundred thousand Points.
• Su Yunqing celebrated the Heart’s powerful water affinity, Rule-comprehension, energy, and domain effects, while Kaito Kuroba compared her luck with his Curtain of Tricks draw.
• Tony, curious about the lottery’s rewards, spent a hundred thousand Points and received a collection of mostly mundane items.
