Chapter Summaries

Tony Stark wondered whether a premonition had stopped him from Recycling the Infinity Mu Jins, but Loki said he had felt no such warning and Recycled the Space Stone without hesitation.

• Loki Recycled the Space Stone and received seventy million Points, leaving Tony unable to understand why his world stopped him from Recycling the Infinity Mu Jins.

• Blue Jelly worried that the Enhancement Function had no pity guarantee and said he would never risk using it.

Loki succeeded in Bloodline Enhancement, linking him to Asgard and Jotunheim, but the resulting Odin Sleep sealed most of his power. As the group discussed making offerings to Bai Xuan and warned Loki of dangers threatening Asgard, the Chat Group announced a Rescue Mission for him.

• Loki announced that Bloodline Enhancement had linked his bloodline to Asgard and let him sense power from Jotunheim, then went offline.

• Heimdall reported that Surtur had left after battling Hela and was waiting for the Bifrost to open.
• Loki wondered whether his bloodline dormancy had disrupted his control over Asgard, and Bai Xuan pointed out that Loki could no longer sense Asgard’s enhancement.

• Hela confronted Loki about the disappearance of Fenrir and her army, but Loki evaded her question.
• Thor arrived with a thunderclap, and Hela warned the brothers not to mistake their past victories for strength, explaining that Odin had imprisoned her rather than killed her.

Tony Stark met his parallel-world counterpart and discovered that a Shiba Inu was also named Thor, while Madara Uchiha and Shendu unleashed devastating power across the city. As S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers watched the battle overwhelm them, Fury asked Thor to identify the newcomers and their mythological origins.

Thor watched Hela battle Marquis Voban while Loki and Aizen confronted Malekith. After Aizen killed Malekith and declined to Recycle the Aether because of the world's malice, Shendu continued to overpower Surtur and prepared a chilling fire that made Surtur sense danger.

• Thor admitted that he did not know who Marquis Voban and the other powerful newcomers were, then watched Voban suppress Hela.
• Marquis Voban told Hela he wanted to Plunder her ability after killing her, and Hela vowed to make him regret it.
• Aizen used Illusion to stab Malekith, then extracted Malekith's soul after Malekith used the Aether to undo the apparent attack.
• Aizen told Loki that Recyling the Aether would provoke the world's malice, so Loki left it alone despite its value in Points.
• Shendu badly wounded Surtur, who insisted that no one could kill him before Ragnarok, until Shendu formed dark, eerie flames that made Surtur feel a chill.

Shendu failed to absorb or Recycle Surtur, so Loki sealed him while Marquis Voban continued fighting Hela. Voban used his new fate-severing Authority to kill Hela, ending the war, though whether she could resurrect remained uncertain.

• Shendu used Nether Ghost Fire on Surtur, but the Burning Mantra could not absorb him and Shendu could not Recycle him while he was alive.
• Loki took Surtur from Shendu and sealed him.
• Marquis Voban and Hela resumed their battle after Hela acknowledged that her forces had been defeated and refused to surrender.

After the Asgard crisis ended, the group received mission rewards and discussed why Surtur had yielded so few Points. Marquis Vauban mocked Shendu for believing he could have defeated Hela, while Su Yunqing questioned whether Hela’s announced slumber meant she might awaken again.

• With Hela defeated, the mission ended, and the group members left while Loki stayed behind to handle Thor and the Aether.
• The Chat Group announced that Hela had fallen into slumber, Loki had survived, and Vauban, Shendu, and Aizen had contributed 60%, 12%, and 5% respectively.
• Shendu complained that Surtur had been worth little and said he would have targeted Hela if he had known Fen Jue could not Devour Surtur.
• Vauban mocked Shendu, arguing that he lacked the means to prevent Hela from drawing power from Asgard or to ensure she stayed dead.
• Su Yunqing wondered why the announcement said Hela had fallen into slumber rather than died, and whether Vauban’s Authority had affected her fate.

Ying Zinian speculated that Marquis Voban had severed Hela’s life without stopping the cause of her resurrection, while Voban considered his mission rewards and Plundered Authority a great success. Su Yunqing envied his gains and explained her own frustrations as Chat Group owner before she told the confused Shendu that Surtur’s Twilight Sword could be Recycled for far more Points than Voban had earned.

• Ying Zinian suggested that Marquis Voban’s Authority had severed Hela’s life but not the cause of her resurrection, leaving her asleep rather than truly dead.

• Su Yunqing envied Voban’s estimated earnings and lamented the Chat Group’s limited privileges and her dangerous circumstances in the High Martial Arts World.

• Shendu realized the Twilight Sword could have been worth tens of millions of Points and regretted handing Surtur over without Recyling it.
• Su Yunqing and the other chat members were shocked that Shendu had forgotten Surtur’s valuable weapon.

• Loki recalled securing the Aether and explained that Hela had survived Marquis Voban’s Authority attack by falling into slumber.
• Loki decided he would reinforce Surtur’s Seal in the future so Surtur would never escape.

Tony Stark reflected on how his mindset had changed and felt fortunate that he and his parallel-world self could avoid future tragedies. Su Yunqing suggested he steal Captain America's shield for Points, but Tony rejected the idea.

• Shendu decided to study the Asgardian Sealing Technique rather than rely on Loki to deal with Surtur.

• Su Yunqing asked Tony Stark whether he had met his parallel-world self, and Tony said they had talked.

• Su Yunqing suggested Tony steal Captain America's shield for its Points, but Tony refused, and Su Yunqing admitted she was afraid of getting beaten up.

Su Yunqing and the Chat Group discussed stealing Captain America's shield and whether their lives reflected fictional characters' personalities. Bai Xuan revealed he had watched the mission from Kamar-Taj, prompting the group to suspect he had gone after the Time Stone and to discuss why Infinity Stones could not be Recycled.

• Su Yunqing argued that Captain America's shield was worth stealing, then regretted not knowing the valuable opportunities in her own world.
• Ying Zinian suggested that their personalities might reflect how their creators had written them, making Su Yunqing worry that someone might learn her private thoughts from a Memory Copy.
• Bai Xuan said he had watched the mission from Kamar-Taj, and Su Yunqing and Loki suspected he had gone there for the Time Stone.
• Tony asked whether Infinity Stones could be Recycled, and the Captain of the 5th Division explained that the world itself would resist anyone trying to take one.
• Su Yunqing complained that Loki had profited from the Reality Stone without defeating the enemy himself.
