Liu Suifeng clarified that he had never asked them to provide support, while Ye Feng doubted Japan’s First Sequences could stop the beast.

• Liu Suifeng briefed Qin Tian, Lin Kai, Kun Hu, Zhang Hai, Ye Feng, and the others about a Mutant Sea Beast near Japan whose strength exceeded the First Sequence’s known upper limit.

• The other First Sequences silently shared Qin Tian and Ye Feng’s position, prompting Liu Suifeng to clarify that he had not requested their support.
• Ye Feng considered Japan’s three First Sequences and their abilities, including Murasame and Demonic-Breaking Power, and concluded they were unlikely to threaten the vastly stronger sea beast.

Ye Feng and Liu Suifeng discussed Japan’s request for support against a powerful Mutant Sea Beast, but Ye Feng argued that Huaxia had no obligation to help. He considered the creature a serious concern, though he believed Huaxia had enough powerful people and methods to deal with it.

Ye Feng and Liu Suifeng discussed whether Huaxia’s sects could use formations and talismans to stop the Mutant Sea Beast, while considering [Kamui] as a promising method. In Japan, Luoshui Sanxian and Ling faced the creature’s overwhelming Spirit Energy and learned that no foreign aid was coming.

• Ye Feng argued that Shushan formations and Maoshan talismans could become powerful enough to kill the Mutant Sea Beast if the sects had enough time and materials.
• Liu Suifeng explained that preparing formations across Huaxia’s surrounding seas was unrealistic and that the Taoist sects’ ancestral artifacts and talismans had not yet revived.

• Luoshui Sanxian told Ling to prepare to leave with the group and protect them, while he remained behind.

Luoshui Sanxian chose to remain in Japan rather than leave with the country’s Executives and surviving forces, despite Ling’s argument that his survival would better preserve the nation’s strength. He accepted that there was no objectively correct choice and asked Ling to prepare for the worst, while hoping they might return.

• Luoshui Sanxian explained that the Executives had cooperated with his reforms because they served the country and because his strength made resistance dangerous.

• While everyone in Japan sought shelter, a warship carrying four hundred people sailed away as Luoshui Sanxian watched from shore.
• Luoshui Sanxian thought that Sacred Cherry Blossom: Ming had stayed in Australia to strengthen herself and protect Japan, but the approaching threat was beyond the First Sequence and her presence would not have changed the outcome.

A colossal Mutant Sea Beast endured a Thunder Tribulation and transformed into a Kunpeng, gaining immense power and the ability to take a Great Peng form. At the Imperial Capital Spirit Energy Bureau, Ye Feng, Liu Suifeng, and Qin Tian assessed the creature’s abilities and the danger it might pose to humanity.

• The Mutant Sea Beast endured the Thunder Tribulation, resisted its devastating lightning, and recovered as its body grew and its scales turned dark gold.

• Qin Tian recalled the First Sequence Mutant Octopus behind the Haicheng disaster and questioned whether this new creature was connected to it.

Qin Tian and Ye Feng speculated that the powerful Mutant Sea Beast might be the Mutant Killer Whale that had helped them during the Battle of Haicheng, though its rapid growth made that uncertain. Kun Hu redirected their attention to the Heavenly Eye, which had been observing Japan and might be preparing to act against it.

• Qin Tian connected the Mutant Sea Beast's Dark-Dark Fruit and Tremor-Tremor Fruit abilities to the Mutant Killer Whale that had devoured the Mutant Octopus during the Battle of Haicheng.

• Ye Feng and the others turned their attention to the Heavenly Eye's observation feed to see whether it would fire a shot.

• Aboard a warship, an evacuee asked whether they should return to the ruined island and felt conflicted about their homeland’s destruction.

Ling decided to return to Japan so Luoshui Sanxian could choose whether the survivors should stay or leave. Meanwhile, Ye Feng and the officials watched the Mutant Kunpeng’s devastation and struggled to hide their laughter before Liu Suifeng delivered a solemn public message of sympathy.

• A survivor warned Ling’s group that the Mutant Sea Beast might attack again, but Ling ordered the warships to return to Japan so she could consult Luoshui Sanxian.

Qin Tian and the others debated why a Mutant Sea Beast evolving toward Kunpeng had attacked Japan, considering whether it might hate humans because of humanity’s history of hunting whales and dolphins. They left the cause uncertain but agreed that the creature could have reason to resent any human country.

• Liu Suifeng asked Qin Tian whether the Mutant Sea Beast was the Killer Whale they had encountered before, and Qin Tian said the chance of confirming it had fallen to thirty percent.
• Qin Tian said the beast’s attacks seemed driven by intense hatred of humans, while Kun Hu speculated that it might have hated Japan itself, perhaps because of nuclear waste discharge.
• Ye Feng suggested that whaling could explain the beast’s hostility, recalling Japan’s commercial whaling and the dolphin and whale slaughter at a fishing village called the Grave of Dolphins and Whales.
• The group fell silent as they considered the cruelty of industrial whaling, including a real account of a mother Killer Whale carrying her dead calf for seventeen days.
• The group concluded that it was plausible for a Mutant Sea Beast to hate humans, given the damage humanity had inflicted on marine life before the Reiki Revival.

After a Mutant Sea Beast destroyed Japan in less than an hour, a leaked video of its attack sparked jubilant online discussion about the beast’s overwhelming strength and Japan’s fate. Confusion over the nickname “Brother Kun” led some readers to imagine the human celebrity had attacked Japan, before they realized the forum meant a different “Brother Kun.”
