Chapter Summaries

The group members discussed Kayaba Akihiko’s plans for SAO, and he confirmed that he would abandon the Death Game after learning about real fantasy worlds. He considered visiting another member’s world, and Su Yunqing recommended Momonga’s world as a relatively safe destination.

• Tony said he opposed Kayaba Akihiko’s plan to endanger innocent players for the sake of realism, and Utaha Kasumigaoka agreed that his motives were frightening.
• Minato Namikaze recalled Orochimaru’s scientific talent and described recruiting him as a researcher by sharing knowledge and signing a contract.
• Kayaba Akihiko watched the Memory Copy, recognized Kirito as his world’s protagonist, and said SAO had not begun and would no longer become a Death Game.
• Kayaba Akihiko asked to visit another world, and Tony and Ying Zinian welcomed him while advising him to avoid dangerous worlds.
• Su Yunqing recommended Momonga’s world, and Momonga welcomed Kayaba Akihiko and compared their roles as a game player and creator.

Momonga told the Chat Group that he had transmigrated with his YGGDRASIL character and faction, prompting Kayaba Akihiko to leave and investigate the game. Su Yunqing and Umaru bought YGGDRASIL, while Utaha regretted spending half her Points on worthless draws and fishing results.

• Momonga explained to Heathcliff that he had transmigrated from YGGDRASIL into a fantasy world with his character and faction, and Heathcliff left the Chat Group to investigate the game.
• Su Yunqing said she had bought YGGDRASIL and described it as fun for honing combat experience despite restricting physical strength.
• Umaru revealed that she had spent 3,000 Points on YGGDRASIL, and Utaha criticized her for buying a game with their limited savings.
• Utaha admitted that her three Lucky Draws and two Fishing attempts had yielded toothpaste, a toothbrush, Valentino, and sharp-tongue-related items.
• Su Yunqing laughed at Utaha's bad luck, and Utaha resolved to stop gambling her Points and asked Saeko whether she had bought anything.

After the war between Asgard and Jotunheim, Saeko Busujima spent her Points on sword training resources and received advice from Momonga about improving her practice. Su Yunqing asked the group about Lucky Draws, and Loki’s evasive answer left everyone convinced he had wasted Points.

• Saeko Busujima accepted Umaru and Shiyu’s smaller shares of the war rewards and bought sword techniques, Kendo manuals, and the KILLING SWORD game.
• Momonga told Saeko Busujima about the Reality Trainer, which could make her body copy the game’s movements and help build muscle memory.
• Su Yunqing asked Momonga and Ying Zinian whether they had tried additional Lucky Draws, and Ying Zinian refused to waste Points on low odds.
• Loki claimed he had never drawn, but his defensive remarks made Su Yunqing and the others suspect he had gotten a poor result.
• Su Yunqing admitted she felt happier seeing Loki lose Points than making Points herself, prompting the group to tease her for being mean.

Loki rewarded the group members who had helped him secure the throne, giving Bai Xuan a World Tree Seed. When Bai Xuan touched it, he felt its joy and sorrow and entered a deep state of enlightenment before a familiar will jolted him awake.

• Loki sent exclusive Red Packets to Bai Xuan, Aizen, Tony Stark, and Ying Zinian as payment for helping with his plan.
• Tony Stark and Ying Zinian expressed surprise at receiving rewards, and Loki said he had chosen their shares at random.
• Loki explained that Aizen received Fountain of Life Water, while Bai Xuan received a World Tree Seed from Odin's Vault.
• Bai Xuan claimed the seed and sensed its joy at reaching a world where it might be able to grow.
• Bai Xuan's thoughts merged with the seed, bringing him insights into its birth, sorrow, and long loneliness, until a familiar will awakened him.

Bai Xuan avoided losing his humanity to the Seed of the World Tree, then adapted it to his Small World and nurtured it into a young World Tree. Its growth expanded the world and strengthened his authority, leaving him with plans to add more Pokemon to the increasingly vast land.

• Bai Xuan discussed the Seed of the World Tree with the World Will, which then departed.
• Bai Xuan used his [Nature Authority] to transform the seed’s Marvel World Rules and planted it in the center of the Small World.
• Bai Xuan purchased Marvel World items and spent three days modifying and nurturing the growing World Tree.
• The World Tree grew to reach from Heaven to Earth, absorbed Spirit Energy from the Void, and began nourishing the Small World.
• The Small World expanded, its Spirit Energy and Bai Xuan’s [Nature Authority] increased, and the Pokemon found themselves in a land with too few inhabitants.

Bai Xuan and Zhixin began planning to turn the World Tree into a powerful mystical computing system, while Qin Tian learned that the Black Rhino Armor’s new summoner wanted to claim a place among the Four Emperors. Liu Suifeng revealed that the summoner’s ambition reflected powerful people’s efforts to secure influence and benefits for their descendants.

• Bai Xuan considered adapting the World Tree into a supercomputer, and Zhixin sought part of the Holy Treasury’s structure from Hexi to help develop the project.
• Liu Suifeng told Qin Tian that the Black Rhino Armor’s summoner had appeared and had a personality similar to Bei Miao’s.
• Qin Tian learned that the summoner’s Beast-type Ability was Water Qilin and that he wanted to become one of the Four Emperors.
• Liu Suifeng explained that influential people were jealous of the benefits tied to the Four Emperors’ prestige and hoped to use the new summoner to secure advantages for their descendants.
• Liu Suifeng reflected that older people knew what they wanted but had delayed cultivation because attaining Mind Clarity would make it harder to justify serving their own interests over the common good.

Qin Tian rejected the idea of choosing a leader for the espers by status or other accomplishments, insisting that only someone strong enough to defeat him would earn his recognition. Huo Yu also doubted the selection could succeed, though she considered how the Mirror Clow Card might copy powerful people.

• Liu Suifeng told Qin Tian that the Black Rhino Armor Summoner was being used as a trigger to choose a leader among the espers, and offered to report his refusal if he did not want to participate.
• Qin Tian agreed to let the selection proceed but said he would not recognize anyone weaker than him as leader, with Bai Xuan as the only person he already considered qualified.
• Huo Yu questioned why anyone thought selecting a leader was useful, since the First Sequence members already had their own duties and the position would mainly offer prestige.
• Huo Yu said Qin Tian seemed the most suitable candidate after Bai Xuan and doubted anyone could defeat him, though she noted that might have changed.
• Huo Yu examined the Mirror Clow Card and considered whether it could copy Qin Tian or even Bai Xuan, but wondered how much Spirit Energy that would require.

News spread that the Spirit Energy Bureau planned to choose a powerful, decorated leader for Huaxia’s Espers, sparking online debate over whether the Dragon Emperor or secret geniuses would prevail. Bai Xuan ignored the controversy and focused with Zhixin on completing the World Tree’s transformation in the Small World.

• Huo Yu reflected on how the Mirror Clow Card had appeared in her office and copied her with an unusually gentle temperament.
• Information about the Spirit Energy Bureau’s planned Esper leader selection leaked, including its demanding requirements for talent and military merit.
• Online commenters argued that the White Emperor would be unbeatable if he entered the competition.
• The discussion divided between supporters of the Dragon Emperor, Ice Emperor, and Flame Emperor and those expecting secret geniuses to emerge.
• Bai Xuan paid no attention to the outside controversy because the Book of Destiny had already recorded the events.
• Bai Xuan and Zhixin continued transforming the World Tree, which Zhixin regarded as a naturally formed celestial body with the potential to grow.

Bai Xuan successfully modified the World Tree and briefly experienced its vast perspective before resting beneath it with Zhixin and the Pokemon. In the Chat Group, Kayaba Akihiko complained that YGGDRASIL could send people across worlds while his superior SAO could not.

• Bai Xuan connected with the World Tree and sensed its ability to perceive the universe and know its history.
• Bai Xuan severed the connection after the information overwhelmed him, then rested beneath the World Tree.
• Ralts, Eevee, Growlithe, and other Pokemon gathered around the sleeping Bai Xuan, while Zhixin recorded the scene and joined them.
• Kayaba Akihiko criticized YGGDRASIL's design and questioned why it could send people across worlds when SAO could not.
• Momonga replied that the game company probably did not know YGGDRASIL could send people across worlds and noted that he had bought SAO after watching its Memory Copy.

Gabriel complained that SAO's realistic NPCs had deceived her during a quest, while the group discussed how SAO differed from YGGDRASIL. She ended the chapter unsure whether to keep playing SAO or buy YGGDRASIL instead.

• Heathcliff apologized for his earlier complaint and explained that SAO and YGGDRASIL had been created for different purposes.
• Su Yunqing said SAO prioritized realism, while Momonga and Umaru Doma discussed its contrast with YGGDRASIL.
• Gabriel recommended SAO to the group, but Umaru Doma suspected something had gone wrong.
• Gabriel told Heathcliff that an NPC had refused to reward her for defeating Boars, and that she had been unable to fight the NPC or the law enforcement squads.
• Heathcliff explained that SAO's NPCs had become more like real people after the public beta, and Gabriel cursed the game for letting her be tricked.
• Umaru Doma said she was glad she had bought YGGDRASIL first, leaving Gabriel torn between continuing SAO and trying YGGDRASIL.

Gabriel decided not to recycle her halo and planned to ask Satania for Demon World specialties instead. Kayaba Akihiko told Tony Stark that he wanted the Reality Stone to turn SAO into a real Otherworld, but he acknowledged he could not afford it or bear the cost of using it.

• Gabriel checked her Points, considered recycling her halo, then put it back on and decided to ask Satania for items to recycle.
• Tony Stark asked Kayaba Akihiko about his future plans, and Kayaba said he would focus on research to earn Points.
• Kayaba Akihiko said he wanted the Reality Stone because it could turn virtual worlds into reality.
• Tony Stark and Su Yunqing warned that using the Reality Stone alone could have devastating consequences for Kayaba.
• Kayaba Akihiko admitted he could not earn the hundred million Points needed to exchange for the Reality Stone anytime soon.

The group discussed the Reality Stone’s limits after Heathcliff considered turning Earth into SAO, and Tony condemned Kayaba Akihiko’s plans as pointless and selfish. Tony remained unsure what future he wanted, while Su Yunqing ended by wishing more Transmigrators would appear.

• Ninth Son of Great Qin explained that the Reality Stone’s creations required immense energy and could not last, and said Heathcliff would need extraordinary resources to turn Earth into SAO.
• Richest Man in the Lighthouse criticized Kayaba Akihiko for risking lives for selfish goals, and Heathcliff asked Tony what future he wanted after seeing his Memory Copy.
• Tony said he did not know what happened after his death and doubted that his world would become normal just because he died.
• Ninth Son of Great Qin pointed out that Tony could have been resurrected with another snap, and Tony asked him not to bring it up again.
• Ordinary Group Owner complained that Rescue Missions offered no extra rewards or Enhancement Count and wondered why no Transmigrators had appeared.

The Chat Group discovered that Saeko Busujima’s world had been invaded by thoughtless but powerful species, and it issued a task to eliminate them. The members debated who might be behind the invasion and prepared to take part, but the source of the invaders remained unknown.

• Angel Yan warned Saeko Busujima that something was wrong in her world, and Su Yunqing found an Otherworld Invasion task on the Task Board.
• The task described invaders with no capacity for thought, powerful physiques, and high defensive abilities, and required members to eliminate them.
• Tony Stark wondered whether a higher-level civilization had opened a gateway and was using the invaders to test Saeko Busujima’s world.
• Su Yunqing told Ying Zinian that the Chat Group had once lacked basic functions and had even muted its group owner.
• Utaha Kasumigaoka urged members to join the task, and Tony Stark said Aizen, Marquis Woban, Angel Yan, Morgana, and Bai Xuan could handle stronger opponents.
• Boil Daigo Into Soup questioned whether the civilization behind the invasion could be as powerful as Angel Civilization and Demon Civilization.

As gates appeared across the world and evacuations began, the Chat Group members chose the regions they would defend against the invading Otherworld forces. Tony Stark explained that he had contacted Ancient One after experimenting with the Eye of Agamotto, leaving him prepared to borrow its power if necessary.

• Saeko Busujima reported that gates had appeared in multiple countries and that evacuation efforts were underway.
• Marquis Voban chose Russia, prompting Shendu and Whitebeard to challenge him for the region.
• Cult Master Luo Hao chose Huaxia, Dongfang Bubai chose the Central Plains, and Ying Zinian chose Xianyang because Great Qin lacked enough fighters to protect all of Huaxia.
• Utaha Kasumigaoka and Umaru Doma chose Japan, Golden Flash and Madara Uchiha left their destinations to random assignment, and Loki chose the Nordic region.
• Tony Stark said he would borrow the Eye of Agamotto in case of a powerful enemy, then explained that his experiments with it had brought Ancient One to him and that they had discussed the Chat Group.

As the Chat Group prepared to confront an Otherworld Invasion, its members debated who would participate and several began arriving in the Highschool of the Dead world. The chapter left Madara Uchiha confronting local authorities while Minato Namikaze and Saeko Busujima observed nearby.

• Gabriel considered joining the mission, but Angel Yan persuaded her to stay behind and watch the livestream.
• The Chat Group announced that anyone could join the mission, and Tony Stark summoned the Eye of Agamotto before activating his Anti-Campione Armor.

• Bai Xuan reflected on the people and Pokemon who had become important to him, while Saeko Busujima confirmed that Fujimi Academy had been evacuated.
• Minato Namikaze met Saeko Busujima and noticed that Madara Uchiha had been surrounded by armed personnel.
• Madara Uchiha's Sharingan overwhelmed the personnel, who dropped their guns and fell to their knees in terror.

A gate in Japan unleashed a Black Dragon and hordes of Kaiju, overwhelming the city and its defenses. Saeko Busujima chose to fight alongside Umaru and Kasumigaoka Utaha, while Madara Uchiha unleashed hundreds of Susanoo to slaughter the Kaiju; Minato Namikaze continued rescuing survivors.

• A colossal Black Dragon and numerous Kaiju emerged from the gate, killing civilians and shrugging off human weapons as they ravaged the city.
• Kasumigaoka Utaha and Umaru doubted they could fight the Kaiju, but Saeko Busujima said she wanted to try.
• Minato Namikaze left Flying Thunder God Kunai with Saeko, Umaru, and Kasumigaoka Utaha before disappearing to rescue survivors.
• Madara Uchiha fought from within Susanoo, then summoned hundreds of Ultimate Level Susanoo to hunt the Kaiju.
• Minato Namikaze saw Madara Uchiha take over the fight and concluded there was little room for him to intervene.

Tony Stark struggled alone against monsters in the Lighthouse Nation while other Chat Group members defended different countries. In Huaxia, Bai Xuan sensed familiar traces of the World Will and another divine system on Luo Hao.

• Tony Stark fought the monsters in the Lighthouse Nation and complained that Minato Namikaze, Madara Uchiha, and Esdeath were nowhere to be found.
• Su Yunqing told Tony Stark that she was supporting Zhang Sanfeng and Zhang Zhiwei in Huaxia, while Daigo said Madara Uchiha's shadow-clone Susanoo had left him free to defend Aries Country.

• Shendu taunted Marquis Voban during their fight in Russia, and Marquis Voban withdrew before purchasing the Dog Talisman to gain immunity to death and fatal attacks.
• Bai Xuan told Luo Hao that the World Will had left traces on her, including an unfamiliar aura of a Deity.

Bai Xuan warned Luo Hao that the Campione! World Will might be affecting her and offered to shield her with his mark. After discussing how the Divine Realm differed from Heretic Gods, he explained that the world had bestowed his Authority, while humanity had created the identities and myths of the Heretic Gods.

• Bai Xuan explained that the Campione! World Will might be helping Luo Hao grow while causing her emotions to fade, and offered to protect her from its influence with his mark.
• Luo Hao chose to accept Bai Xuan's mark, preferring to rely on herself rather than risk paying for the World Will's help.
• Bai Xuan placed a golden mark on Luo Hao's brow and said he would make her another one after the mission because the borrowed Rules might not endure.
• Bai Xuan and Luo Hao watched Leng the Angel and the others clear Otherworld species from Huaxia without needing his intervention.
• Luo Hao asked how Bai Xuan's Divine Realm differed from the Heretic Gods, and Bai Xuan explained that humanity had bestowed their identities while the world had bestowed his Authority.

Bai Xuan considered ways to destroy the portals and waited for the group’s input while Tony struggled to hold back the Kaiju emerging from one. Su Yunqing suggested using portal Magic to send them into space, then claimed it might even reach parallel spacetime, leaving Tony stunned.

• Luo Hao asked whether Campiones could harm gods, and Bai Xuan said they could test it after the mission.
• Bai Xuan assessed ways to destroy the technological gate but decided to wait until the creatures stopped emerging and hear the group’s opinions.
• Tony asked Whitebeard for help because he could not kill the huge Kaiju quickly enough to protect the city.
• Su Yunqing suggested that Tony use Magic to teleport the Kaiju into space, but Tony said he had studied Magic for less than a month.
• Su Yunqing recalled that someone had used portal Magic to bring Spider-Men from parallel spacetime, and Tony questioned whether that was possible.

The group discussed why Hiruzen Sarutobi had been called the strongest Hokage of all time despite being weaker than other Hokage. Ying Zinian argued that Hiruzen’s reputation helped maintain public support for Konoha’s leadership, and the chapter ended with the importance of reputation.

• The group compared Richest Man in the Lighthouse’s magical talent with his parallel-world self and mocked Hiruzen Sarutobi’s title as the strongest Hokage of all time.
• Minato Namikaze reflected that Hiruzen was a gifted ninja, but Tobirama Senju and Hashirama Senju were stronger, and Minato himself would be difficult for Hiruzen to defeat.
• Madara Uchiha acknowledged Hiruzen’s skill as a Professor of Ninjutsu but dismissed his claim to being the strongest Hokage.
• Ying Zinian explained that Iruka’s belief in Hiruzen’s title likely came from Konoha’s textbooks and questioned why the claim had spread among civilians.
• Ying Zinian said Hiruzen’s reputation helped him regain the Hokage position after Minato died, since villagers could interpret Minato’s sacrifice as proof of Hiruzen’s greater importance.
