Cult Master Luo Hao offered her parallel-world self a fragment of world Rules that could break a Campione’s limits, but might also cost her emotions and turn her into an Agent of the World Will. The parallel Luo Cuilian was left to decide whether to risk absorbing it, while Marquis Voban rejected the idea that she could surpass him.

• Cult Master Luo Hao told Luo Cuilian that the Chat Group had enabled her and Marquis Voban to break through their limits, and that only one person per world had been chosen.

• Luo Cuilian accepted the Rule and left Mount Lu, while Marquis Voban warned her that he hoped their next meeting would not be at her grave.

• Luo Hao told Lu Yinghua she planned to summon War Lord Chiyou, and he left worried that Chiyou might kill him in their battle seven days later.
• Tony Stark warned that Luo Hao’s World Rule might only work on Campiones and could anger other worlds if outsiders used it.

• Su Yunqing complained that several Chat Group members rarely spoke and accidentally tagged Gabriel while mocking her for lurking.
• Gabriel objected to Su Yunqing’s teasing and demanded three days of Little Master’s food, but Su Yunqing offered only one meal.

• Nick Fury welcomed Loki, King of Asgard, to the aircraft carrier, where Loki said he had come to see his brother and apologized for Hela's destruction.

Loki showed Nick Fury a projection of Tony and Steve arguing over whether Steve would stop Tony if Buggy had killed Tony's parents. Steve's defense of Buggy disappointed Tony, who left before Steve could resolve the conflict.

• Loki projected a scene of Steve asking Tony why he trusted another timeline's claim that Buggy had killed Tony's parents.

• Steve said Buggy had been controlled by Hydra and was innocent, and Tony left in his Iron Armor after Steve's response.
• Natasha explained that Tony wanted to know Steve's personal stance and would not have killed Buggy, who would instead face legal and psychological review.

Natasha and Nick Fury considered how the revelation that Buggy had killed Tony's parents while controlled by Hydra could fracture the Avengers Alliance, especially given Steve's concealment. Loki dismissed the projection, leaving Fury to handle Tony and Steve's conflict while he awaited Buggy's appearance.

• Natasha reasoned that Tony would not kill Buggy if he learned Buggy had acted under Hydra's control, but Steve's concealment could make the truth seem like a lie and drive Tony from the Avengers Alliance.

• Loki waved his hand and dismissed the projection after watching the drama unfold.
• Nick Fury reflected on his lack of knowledge about the parallel-timeline Tony and recognized that resolving the Buggy matter would require waiting until Buggy appeared.
• Fury believed Buggy was likely a victim of Hydra's control and trusted Tony to understand that, though he knew Tony would struggle to accept that Buggy had killed his parents.

• Kusuo Saiki agreed to help after the Great King of Asgard offered him a year's supply of Little Master's special coffee jelly.
