Chapter Summaries

Tony and the group discussed Masaki Keigo’s extraordinary scientific talent, his Photo-Genetic Factor Converter, and why he pursued Ultraman’s power instead of relying on human technology. Daigo agreed that Masaki was more capable than he was, while the discussion left open whether Masaki could have defeated him if he had remained calm.

• Tony argued that even his own scientific ability might not have surpassed Masaki Keigo’s, who had created Geozark and the Photo-Genetic Factor Converter.
• Tony explained that Masaki’s converter could activate Giant Stone Statues and potentially let humans with the Ultra Ancient Warrior Gene become Ultraman, though energy limits would restrict how many could transform.
• Tony said Masaki chose Ultraman’s power because he understood the gap between human technology and monsters, but his twisted pursuit of power made him see himself as a god.
• Su Yunqing recalled Masaki taking Daigo’s Spark Lens and said he might have beaten Daigo if he had kept his composure after transforming into Evil Tiga.
• Daigo agreed that Masaki was more outstanding than him despite their shared Ultra Ancient Warrior Gene.

Daigo told the Chat Group that Masaki Keigo had discovered his identity and invited him to see Evil Tiga’s statue. Daigo revealed that he had given Masaki the Spark Lens, leaving the group wondering why he would help him despite the risk of betrayal.

• Daigo explained that Masaki Keigo noticed his hidden power and invited him to his company to show him Evil Tiga’s statue.
• Su Yunqing asked whether Masaki had requested the Spark Lens, and Daigo confirmed that he had given it to him.
• The Chat Group questioned Daigo’s decision, but Daigo said Masaki could not defeat him.
• Utaha Kasumigaoka wondered whether Daigo was helping Masaki prepare for Gatanothor and argued that the Chat Group could help fight it instead.
• Daigo recalled Masaki’s question about how Tiga alone could protect Earth from destruction and said he believed the words were true.

Daigo explained that he had let Masaki Keigo try to use the Spark Lens in hopes of gaining another Ultraman to protect Earth, though Kasumigaoka Utaha doubted Masaki’s motives. The attempt failed because the Spark Lens now responded only to Daigo, leaving Masaki unable to transform, while Daigo considered the risks of humanity learning how Ultraman’s power could be obtained.

• Kasumigaoka Utaha suspected Masaki Keigo’s apparent candor hid his unchanged obsession with Ultraman’s power and warned that helping him risked betrayal.
• Daigo said he had offered Masaki the Spark Lens as a test and hoped he might master its power to help defend Earth from the Zoga.
• Daigo told the Chat Group that Masaki had failed because his fusion with Tiga had changed the Spark Lens, making it usable only by Daigo.
• Daigo said a new Ultraman’s appearance could provoke suspicion and greed among humanity’s leaders, so Masaki’s failure was not necessarily regrettable.
• Daigo explained that Masaki might still become Ultraman in the future if his Photo-Genetic Factor Converter and Ultra Ancient Warrior Gene could work with a suitable Light Factor Converter.

Daigo considered the risks of humanity mass-producing Ultramen if Masaki Keigo developed a Light Factor Converter, while Su Yunqing realized the group could have used his Photo-Genetic Factor Converter and Daigo’s Spark Lens to gain Ultraman’s power. The opportunity had passed because Daigo’s Spark Lens had bonded with him, leaving Kasumigaoka Utaha hoping Masaki Keigo would develop a replacement.

• Daigo worried that mass-produced human Ultramen might be used for war rather than protecting Earth.
• Su Yunqing realized that, before Daigo’s Spark Lens bonded with him, the group could have used Masaki Keigo’s Photo-Genetic Factor Converter, an Ultra Ancient Warrior Gene, a Giant Stone Statue, and the Spark Lens to transform into Ultramen.
• Kasumigaoka Utaha regretted missing the opportunity and encouraged Masaki Keigo to develop the Light Factor Converter.
• Tony Stark praised Su Yunqing’s unusual idea, while Ace wondered whether his body contained humanoid cells like those in Platelet’s world.
• Su Yunqing explained that cells were not normally humanoid, then wondered whether she could see humanoid cells with her Observation Haki in Platelet’s world.

Su Yunqing and Bai Xuan discussed the difficulty of visiting Platelet’s world, since the group could not safely enter a human body at cellular size. Platelet accepted that she belonged with her owner, while Ying Zinian suggested the group could still help the owner through cultivation methods.

• Su Yunqing wondered what Bai Xuan’s cells would look like if they were anthropomorphized, and Bai Xuan asked where the group would arrive in Platelet’s world.
• Su Yunqing and the Richest Man in the Lighthouse discussed how the group could neither safely enter a human body nor bring Platelet into their worlds.
• Platelet said she found meaning in caring for her owner and could use the Memory Copy to see the group’s worlds.
• Platelet hoped her owner would stop harming their body through unhealthy habits, and Su Yunqing reflected on how difficult that wish was to fulfill.
• Ying Zinian proposed that the group could use their Cultivation Methods on Platelet’s human owner.

Su Yunqing and Ying Zinian discussed how Platelet’s cells could cooperate to cultivate and improve their host’s health, but the group found that suitable methods and the Points to buy them were difficult to obtain. They settled on basic Wudang Internal Arts as a more attainable option, while worrying that Platelet’s host might not stay healthy long enough to save up for it.

• Ying Zinian proposed that Platelet’s cells coordinate their efforts to cultivate a method and strengthen their host.
• Su Yunqing and Utaha Kasumigaoka recognized how effective autonomous cell cultivation could be.
• Su Yunqing explained that the group’s available cultivation methods relied on special energy absent from Platelet’s Daily Life World.
• Ying Zinian noted that Platelet could not recycle resources or join missions and could earn Points only through daily check-ins.
• Ying Zinian suggested that basic Wudang Internal Arts could improve health and longevity for three thousand Points.
• Su Yunqing worried that Platelet’s host might be too unhealthy to wait the three hundred days needed to earn enough Points.

Su Yunqing gave Platelet three thousand Points to begin cultivating Wudang Internal Arts, hoping to improve Platelet’s host’s health. She then asked Esdeath about the Akame ga Kill world, and Esdeath explained that Aizen had rapidly reformed the Empire as an experiment for changing the Three Realms.

• Su Yunqing sent Platelet three thousand Points so Platelet could start cultivating Internal Energy.
• Platelet thanked Su Yunqing and recognized that Wudang Internal Arts could help strengthen the host’s body and heal injuries.
• Su Yunqing wondered why Aizen and Esdeath had been silent and asked whether something had happened in Esdeath’s world.
• Esdeath said her world had no worthy opponents and that Aizen had transformed the Empire with reforms, technology, and professional skill Templates.
• Esdeath explained that Aizen’s reforms were an experiment for changing the Three Realms, a goal he had openly acknowledged.

Esdeath spent her days testing herself against Chat Group members in the Life Game and discovered that Momonga was far more dangerous than people assumed. His instant-death skill and extensive abilities left her unable to defeat him, even with preparation.

• Esdeath fought Life Game versions of Chat Group members, favoring Cult Master Luo Hao and Boros because they never fled from battle.
• Esdeath found that she could not beat Loki’s post-Chat Group version, whose Divine Authority, Gungnir, Reality Stone, and access to Asgard made him nearly impossible to overcome.
• Esdeath used Minato Namikaze’s Life Game to train Mahapadma, but his Flying Thunder God Technique let him escape her attacks.
• Esdeath learned that a fully prepared Momonga could defeat her, killing her seven times with [The Goal of All Life is Death].
• Esdeath recognized that Momonga’s 718 spells, powerful items, and extensive immunities made him far stronger than his destructive power suggested.

Esdeath recalled the overwhelming powers of the Chat Group members in the Life Game and examined how Loki, despite his immense strength, had lost to Bai Xuan. Loki’s final attack destroyed Earth and the Solar System, leaving their battle a mutual death that he called a draw.

• Esdeath remembered Bai Xuan using [Nature Authority] to strip away her abilities, immobilize her, and destroy her in the Life Game.
• She recalled how Bai Xuan had also countered Daigo and Su Yunqing by taking away their powers through [Nature Authority].
• Esdeath reflected that Loki had become Asgard’s true king, wielding Gungnir, the Reality Stone, and [Lie] Divine Authority.
• Loki initially used his powers and the Reality Stone to suppress Bai Xuan’s newly awakened [Nature Authority], but strange turns of fate began to favor Bai Xuan.
• Loki’s Gungnir repeatedly missed Bai Xuan, and the Reality Stone fell beside him.
• After realizing he could not win, Loki detonated the Reality Stone with Gungnir, destroying Earth and the Solar System along with himself and Bai Xuan.

The Chat Group discussed whether Bai Xuan might have survived Loki’s death, then talked about Esdeath’s boredom and Night Raid’s loyalty to Aizen. Aizen explained that he had transformed the Empire by exchanging Danger Beasts for resources through the Chat Group, while the others praised his achievement.

• Esdeath reasoned that Bai Xuan might have survived Loki’s death, since his world and the Dimensional Void could have offered ways to escape the destruction.
• Su Yunqing told Esdeath to focus on civilization’s evolution and suggested using the Life Game or Virtual Battle Arena to find challenging fights.
• Esdeath said Night Raid had submitted to Aizen and was so loyal that its members would follow his orders without question.
• Su Yunqing and Umaru praised Aizen’s charisma and his rapid transformation of the Empire, while Aizen credited his success to exchanging Danger Beasts for needed resources through the Chat Group.

Su Yunqing, Aizen, and Tony Stark discussed Aizen’s rapid transformation of The Empire and the supplies Tony had traded to support it. Su Yunqing suggested that Marquis Voban or Cult Master Luo Hao could also easily gather resources for Aizen in exchange for Points.

• Su Yunqing teased Aizen for agreeing that she could not manage his work, and Tony laughed at her frustration.
• Tony said he could transform an ancient empire too, but would take longer because he would not casually kill people or alter their memories.
• Aizen told Tony that he had contributed greatly to The Empire’s transformation through their trade of supplies and equipment.
• Tony explained that he could gather Aizen’s needed materials in bulk quickly, while other Chat Group members would face more difficulty or not care to help.
• Su Yunqing argued that Marquis Voban and Cult Master Luo Hao might gladly arrange shipments in exchange for Points, since it would take them little effort.

Su Yunqing and the Chat Group teased Marquis Voban about gaining a large number of Points after killing another Heretic God. Marquis revealed that he had killed Ares, the War God of Ancient Greek Mythology.

• Su Yunqing and Tony Stark reasoned that Marquis Voban had killed a Heretic God and gained a valuable Authority he had not yet enhanced with Points.
• The Chat Group joked that Marquis Voban’s obsession with Points meant he must have recently gained a windfall.
• Marquis Voban bristled at the teasing but admitted the group’s guess was correct.
• Su Yunqing asked which Heretic God Marquis had killed, while Umaru and Utaha joked about treating the gods like harvestable prey.
• Marquis Voban revealed that he had killed Ares, the War God and one of the Twelve Olympians.

Marquis Voban explained that the Authority [Incarnation of the God of War], which he had Plundered from Ares, was of little use to him because his [Cage of the Death Servant] already served him better. The group considered who might benefit from the war-focused Authority, and Ying Zinian acknowledged it suited him but said he could not afford it and did not need it.

• Su Yunqing identified Ares as the source of Marquis Voban’s new Authority and said its warlike nature seemed compatible with him.
• Marquis Voban explained that [Incarnation of the God of War] made humans stronger and more bloodthirsty, but was less useful to him than [Cage of the Death Servant].
• Marquis Voban speculated that a third enhancement of his Godslayer Status might grant him an ability resembling Bai Xuan’s [Nature Authority].
• Tony said the Authority might suit Ying Zinian, since Great Qin still faced internal problems and ambitions for expansion.
• Ying Zinian agreed that the Authority suited him but said he could not afford it and had no need for it.

Elsie treated injured Espers after a Second Sequence Mutant Wombat led Mutated Beasts in an attack on their base, revealing how dangerous Australia remained. Reports showed other rescue teams were also facing Beast Tides, and Elsie realized the reinforcements had become targets and might have to abandon the effort to save Australia.

• A Second Sequence Mutant Wombat led Mutated Beasts in an attack on Elsie's base, injuring the Espers left behind before retreating when Elsie and her team returned.
• Elsie used her life-based Superpower to heal the injured, especially the more severely wounded Espers who had not entered a Sequence.
• Elsie asked the Silver-Haired Youth for updates and learned that Huaxia, the Lighthouse, and the Empire of Sun Never Sets had cleared outlying cities while advancing toward further threats.
• The Silver-Haired Youth reported that the Lighthouse's God of Thunder had encountered a Beast Tide led by a Second Sequence Mutant Kangaroo wearing boxing gloves, but neither side had begun fighting.
• Elsie concluded that the reinforcements had become targets and feared they might soon have to give up on saving Australia.

Elsie reasoned that the Beast Tide and Lighthouse's God of Thunder had both held back because neither side wanted to risk the lives of their companions. She recognized that the Espers accompanying her in Australia were there above all to ensure her escape, even at the cost of their own lives.

• Elsie explained that the God of Thunder and the Second Sequence Mutated Beast had tested each other but avoided battle to protect their companions and themselves.
• She concluded that the Mutated Beasts would likely attack the base after she left, since they might not understand that killing the remaining humans would leave them to face her without restraint.
• Elsie considered why Espers of different strengths had accompanied her to Australia and realized their main duty was to protect her retreat if her life was threatened.
• She acknowledged that Russia valued Andrei more than her, though it could not afford to lose any First Sequence Esper.
• Elsie understood that her companions had accepted the possibility of dying to protect her, and that they regarded the mission as meaningful.

Elsie questioned the Silver-Haired Youth about Huaxia’s two First Sequences and considered why God-Given Items made their wielders so powerful. She wondered what criteria such items used to choose their hosts and why none had chosen her.

• Elsie asked whether Huaxia’s two First Sequences had faced tests from Mutated Beasts.
• The Silver-Haired Youth said Huaxia had not contacted the two Espers because it had absolute confidence in them.
• Elsie reflected that Huaxia’s confidence came from its First Sequences’ strength and God-Given Items, especially the Five Elements Armor.
• Elsie considered whether Huaxia’s second First Sequence might possess a God-Given Item, perhaps even another suit of armor.
• Elsie wondered why no God-Given Item had chosen her, thinking that one could help her share Russia’s burdens and protect it better.

Neptune reviewed reports of other countries’ encounters with Mutated Beasts and judged their strength against Lighthouse and Huaxia. He left believing Huaxia was Lighthouse’s only serious human rival, while hoping it would avoid the complacency that had once weakened Lighthouse.

• Neptune read reports that the Sun Never Sets Empire, Russia, and Japan had each fought a pack of Second Sequence Mutated Beasts without casualties.
• Neptune dismissed the other countries’ strength and considered Japan’s limited number of Sequences, while recognizing the threat posed by Sword God’s Cursed Blade Murasame.
• Neptune assessed Huaxia’s many First Sequence Espers, God-Given Items, and Flame Dragon, Black Rhino, and Snow Mastiff Armor summoners as a greater threat than Japan’s weapon.
• Neptune reflected that Lighthouse had become conservative after defeating Russia and hoped Huaxia would not repeat its past mistakes.

Sacred Cherry Blossom: Ming landed on Australia's coast and plunged into a horde of Mutated Beasts, using Murasame to kill them and replenish her stamina. The Mutant Thylacine watched from afar, realized she was concealing her strength, and concluded that she was keeping the beasts from fleeing so she could slaughter them all.

• Sacred Cherry Blossom: Ming cut down the Mutated Beasts surrounding her and used Murasame's Plunder ability to replenish her stamina.
• Sacred Cherry Blossom: Ming rushed into the Beast Tide, expecting the slaughter to help her grow stronger.
• The Mutant Thylacine learned of the human near the coast and recognized her as a powerful reinforcer from another nation.
• The Mutant Thylacine observed that Sacred Cherry Blossom: Ming killed the beasts with ease but did not release her Spiritual Power.
• The Mutant Thylacine concluded that Sacred Cherry Blossom: Ming was hiding her aura to keep the Mutated Beasts from fleeing while she hunted them.

Sacred Cherry Blossom: Ming slaughtered a Mutated Beast horde while the Mutant Thylacine watched and questioned her about human nations and their reasons for helping one another. After Ming answered, she suddenly appeared behind the Thylacine and wounded it with Murasame.

• Sacred Cherry Blossom: Ming noticed the Second Sequence Mutant Thylacine and its herd watching her, but continued killing the attacking Mutated Beasts.
• The surviving Mutated Beasts fled in terror after seeing Ming slaughter their companions without tiring.
• The Mutant Thylacine asked which nation Ming came from and why humans supported a country across the ocean.
• Ming answered, “Humanity's Way, interests, race. Who knows,” then drew Murasame and appeared behind the Thylacine, leaving a thin line of blood on its abdomen.

Sacred Cherry Blossom: Ming killed the Mutant Thylacine and replenished his strength by letting the Cursed Blade Murasame Plunder its blood. After the remaining Mutated Beasts fled, he noticed a Lighthouse warship nearby and met the curious gaze of a man aboard it.

• Sacred Cherry Blossom: Ming told the Mutant Thylacine he had no reason to discuss anything with it and plunged Murasame into its body.
• Murasame drained the Mutant Thylacine and converted some of its blood into energy that restored and strengthened Sacred Cherry Blossom: Ming.
• The Mutated Beasts panicked when their leader died and scattered as Sacred Cherry Blossom: Ming stepped toward them.
• Sacred Cherry Blossom: Ming continued Plundering the corpses and considered how the blade’s power helped him grow, while he paced himself to avoid losing control.
• Sacred Cherry Blossom: Ming noticed a Lighthouse warship beside his own and exchanged looks with a man in sea-blue clothing aboard it.
