Chapter Summaries

Marquis Voban rejected Tony’s suggestion that he fight Bai Xuan in reality, while Minato Namikaze explained that Black Zetsu had avoided Konoha and described his slow efforts to develop it. The discussion ended with the group contrasting Minato’s gradual reforms with Madara Uchiha’s rapid, forced transformation of the Ninja World.

• Tony urged Marquis Voban to challenge Bai Xuan in a real fight, but Marquis refused and traded insults with Shendu.
• Marquis Voban called out Madara Uchiha, prompting Madara to object and Minato Namikaze to suggest they settle their quarrels in the Virtual Battle Arena.
• Su Yunqing asked Minato why he had not unified the Ninja World or sealed Black Zetsu, and Minato said Black Zetsu had stopped entering Konoha after White Zetsu was caught.
• Minato Namikaze said he had been developing Konoha through trade, reforms, and assigned work while spending time with Kushina and Naruto Uzumaki.
• Tony and Su Yunqing compared Minato’s gradual development with Madara Uchiha’s rapid transformation of the Ninja World through Infinite Tsukuyomi and Artificial Intelligence.

The group joked about Madara Uchiha’s rapid conquest and an embarrassing story involving Infinite Tsukuyomi before discussing Marquis Voban’s repeated losses to Cult Master Luo Hao at equal Godslayer Status levels. Marquis admitted he was still hunting Heretic Gods for battle and the Authorities he could gain, and Thor asked which god he planned to target next.

• Ying Zinian realized Infinite Tsukuyomi could alter people’s thoughts, and Su Yunqing nearly mentioned an embarrassing story before changing the subject.
• Tony Stark questioned Su Yunqing and Ying Zinian about the story, but neither explained what the “first one” was.
• Su Yunqing asked whether Marquis Voban was hunting Heretic Gods to strengthen his Status and challenge Cult Master Luo Hao again.
• Umaru Doma and Utaha Kasumigaoka said Marquis had always been weaker than Cult Master Luo Hao at equal Status levels, and Utaha explained that their enhancements had widened the gap.
• Marquis Voban said he enjoyed hunting Heretic Gods for the battles and the Authorities he gained, and Thor asked which god he had chosen as his next target.

Su Yunqing recognized Heracles as the Heroic Spirit from Fate/stay night and explained his God Hand Noble Phantasm to the Chat Group. Marquis Voban understood that Heracles's mythic labors were not an Authority, but the chapter left open whether the Heracles in his world had a similar ability.

• Marquis Voban identified Heracles as the son of Zeus and Alcmene from Ancient Greek Mythology.
• Su Yunqing recalled Heracles's appearance in Fate/stay night and lamented that no one from the Holy Grail War world had joined the Chat Group to share its Memory Copies.
• Su Yunqing asked whether the Heracles in Marquis Voban's world had an Authority like God Hand.
• Marquis Voban explained that God Hand referred to Heracles's twelve labors, not an Authority.
• Su Yunqing shared God Hand's abilities, including protection from lower-ranked attacks, twelve resurrections, and growing resistance after recovering from damage.

The group discussed the lives and accumulating damage resistance granted by God Hand, comparing its potential with the Horse and Dog Talismans and debating how powerful the resistance was. Marquis Voban became interested in seeking out Heracles in the Campione! World, while the group wondered whether his continued godslaying would affect the world’s mythological systems.

• Marquis Voban was surprised that God Hand granted eleven extra lives and increased resistance after healing from attacks.
• Umaru Doma suggested that the Horse Talisman might let the resistance stack, while the Richest Man in the Lighthouse questioned whether it could surpass the Dog Talisman’s immortality.
• The Ordinary Group Owner estimated that God Hand could raise resistance to a level comparable to enduring several A+-rank Anti-Army Noble Phantasms and said the increase lasted until God Hand was used up.
• Umaru Doma reflected that humanity might develop weapons more destructive than Mushroom Bombs, while worrying that such weapons could be turned against humanity itself.
• The group speculated that Heracles in the Campione! World might possess a similar Authority, and Marquis Voban looked forward to the possibility of hunting him.
• The Richest Man in the Lighthouse wondered whether Marquis Voban’s godslaying could eventually cause trouble for the world’s mythological systems.

The group discussed whether Marquis could eventually slaughter every deity summoned from mythological systems and whether that achievement would have consequences. They also considered S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Hydra infiltration, the Avengers' chances against Thanos, and the flaws in Thanos's plan to erase half of all life.

• Su Yunqing argued that the gods would keep reviving from their myths, but doubted anything could threaten Marquis unless World Consciousness descended.
• Tony Stark said he had no interest in joining S.H.I.E.L.D. and urged its members to deal with Hydra's deep infiltration first.
• Su Yunqing said Thanos was easier to face than hidden enemies within S.H.I.E.L.D. and suggested Thor with Stormbreaker and Wonder Woman could defeat him if he lacked two Infinity Stones.
• Utaha Kasumigaoka questioned why Thanos had halved the universe's population instead of doubling its resources.
• Tony Stark argued that multiplying resources would not fix their unequal distribution or satisfy human desire, and that Thanos's plan would only delay the same problems.

The group debated whether Thanos’s plan to erase half of all life was right, concluding that it benefited the universe but harmed the people within it. Su Yunqing argued that Thanos’s sudden, brutal solution was simpler than imposing family-planning rules, though the story left the moral question unresolved.

• Su Yunqing said Thanos’s snap could only preserve the universe temporarily and noted that using the Infinity Stones had left him frail.
• Umaru Doma mourned Spider-Man’s death and said Tony had seemed to view him as his own child, while Whitebeard reflected on the pain of losing Ace.
• Ninth Son of Great Qin said Thanos’s actions were neither simply right nor wrong, and that the universe did not need saving.
• Su Yunqing criticized people who supported Thanos without considering the possibility that they or their loved ones might die.
• Su Yunqing explained that Thanos would likely have rejected family planning because it was slow and vulnerable to loopholes, while erasing half of all life was immediate and direct.

The Chat Group discussed why Thanos was unlikely to succeed in either Loki’s or Tony Stark’s world, then Loki and Shendu both claimed to have surpassed Marquis Vauban. Their boast left Vauban and the other members wondering what had made Shendu so powerful.

• Ordinary Group Owner explained that Thanos could not gather all six Infinity Stones in Loki’s world and predicted Tony Stark would be ready to face him in his own world.
• Great King of Asgard declared that Thanos would not dare attack while Loki ruled, and Shendu challenged his confidence by comparing him unfavorably with Odin.
• Loki mocked Shendu and claimed he had surpassed Marquis Vauban, prompting Vauban to question when that had happened.
• Shendu insisted that he, too, had surpassed the Marquis, leaving Vauban and the other Chat Group members stunned.
• Ordinary Group Owner asked whether Shendu had broken through to Dou Saint or enhanced himself, while concluding that reaching Dou Emperor required Source Qi.

The group teased Shendu and Loki about their filial piety after Shendu claimed confidence in his new Dou Zun realm, and Marquis Vauban challenged them to fight. As the group continued touring Bai Xuan’s world, Tony Stark worried that Thanos’s arrival might unfold in an unexpected way despite his preparations.

• Shendu said he had only reached Dou Zun, and Su Yunqing questioned his confidence compared with Marquis Vauban’s strength.
• Marquis Vauban opened the Virtual Battle Arena and challenged Shendu and Loki, while the group joked that they represented an unfilial son and an old father.
• Shendu and Loki refused to enter the arena, and Marquis Vauban dismissed them as men whose mouths stayed hard even when they were beaten.
• Su Yunqing noticed that some of Bai Xuan’s Mutant Creatures resembled those in her world, though she thought the worlds had little connection without people like Qin Tian and Chen Bing.
• Tony Stark reviewed his plans for protecting the Infinity Stones from Thanos but remained uneasy that events would take an unexpected path.

Tony Stark reflected on Daigo’s hidden strength after Daigo destroyed the Anti-Thanos Armor in a Virtual Battle Arena match, then considered how much other Chat Group members might have grown. The story shifted to a ruined city in Russia, where humans and Mutant Creatures fought a brutal war of survival.

• Tony remembered his uneasy premonition and returned to improving the Anti-Thanos Armor with science and Magic.
• Tony recalled that Daigo had smashed the armor by destroying its magical Runes with the Sage Form and Demon Form, and suspected Daigo possessed more forms.
• Tony considered Daigo’s accumulated Points, his potential to gain Glitter Form, and the possibility that he would become both divine and human.
• Tony wondered how powerful Whitebeard, Aizen, Zhang Sanfeng, Lin Fengjiao, Zhang Zhiwei, and Dongfang Bubai had become, then decided to save future Points for a stronger physique.
• In Russia, humans and Mutant Creatures fought a savage battle across a ruined city, with only one side expected to survive.

Survivors trapped in a ruined Russian city watched a First Sequence Mutant Wolf King arrive to claim the territory. A Mutant White Tiger and its Bright Red Fox companion challenged the wolves, leaving the city caught between two powerful beasts.

• The surviving humans remained in the ruined city because they lacked a safe way to reach another settlement.
• The Mutant Wolf King led its pack to the city and declared that the territory would belong to it after one final battle.
• A human on the wall identified the intelligent Mutant Wolf King as a First Sequence creature.
• The Mutant White Tiger arrived with a Bright Red Fox, whose fluent human speech rejected the wolf pack's claim.
• The Mutant Wolf King threatened the tiger, which answered by unleashing its intimidating aura.

The Mutant White Tiger slaughtered the Mutant Wolf Pack while the Survivors watched, expecting to face the victor next. Andrei and Elsie approached the battlefield, and the two wounded First Sequence Mutant Creatures stopped fighting as they sensed Andrei.

• The Mutant White Tiger killed the Mutant Wolf Pack while the Mutant Wolf King fought on without retreating.
• The Survivors watched from the city wall, believing they could not escape the Mutant Fox or defeat the First Sequence victor.
• Andrei told Elsie that the unknown power was humanity's own bloodline power, weakened during the peaceful era before the Reiki Revival.
• Andrei decided to confront the Mutant Wolf King and Mutant White Tiger immediately, and Elsie followed, knowing he carried Incursio and had a First Sequence Berserk Ability.
• The Mutant Wolf King and Mutant White Tiger exchanged injuries, with the White Tiger holding a slight advantage.
• Andrei walked toward the battlefield, and both Mutant Creatures stopped fighting and turned to face him.

Andrei fought the Mutant Wolf King while Elsie and the Survivors watched, and his Berserk Ability drove his power and bloodlust higher. Even after the Wolf King pierced his abdomen, Andrei kept attacking, leaving the Wolf King badly wounded as the battle continued.

• Andrei charged the Mutant Wolf King and overpowered him in their opening clash.
• Elsie kept her bow trained on the Mutant White Tiger while the Survivors stayed back and watched Andrei fight.
• Andrei wounded the Mutant Wolf King, deflected his energy beam, and kicked him hard enough to make him cough blood.
• Andrei's Berserk Ability intensified, and the Mutant Wolf King summoned a massive phantom to clash with him.
• The Mutant Wolf King pierced Andrei's abdomen, but Andrei ignored the injury and slashed him repeatedly until his body was covered in blood and wounds.

Andrei killed the Mutant Wolf King, and Incursio drew energy from its body to heal and restore him. He revealed the Teigu and merged with its Tyrant armor, preparing to face the remaining Mutant White Tiger with his powers greatly enhanced.

• Andrei pierced the Mutant Wolf King's heart with his silver sword, killing it as the Mutant White Tiger watched.
• Incursio drained energy from the Mutant Wolf King, healing Andrei's wounds and restoring his Spirit Energy.
• Andrei activated Incursio, and the dragon-shaped Super Danger Beast Tyrant emerged from the sword before merging with him as armor.
• The Incursio armor combined with Andrei's Berserk Ability and gave him immense power and protection.
• Andrei recalled how Incursio had helped him slaughter Mutant Creatures and defeat a First Sequence Mutant Creature before turning his attention to the Mutant White Tiger.

Aizen watched Andrei battle the Mutant White Tiger and wondered whether an unknown force or the Dao had changed the thoughts and personalities of humans and Mutant Creatures. Elsie realized the tiger had hidden its strength and confronted the Mutant Fox, whose Phantom seemed immune to her attacks.

• Aizen observed the battlefield and reflected on how the creatures had lost their fear of death and on Bai Xuan’s wariness of him.
• Andrei fought the Mutant White Tiger with his Teigu and Berserk Ability but could not gain the upper hand.
• Elsie realized that the Mutant White Tiger’s strength rivaled Andrei’s and wondered whether it possessed something like a Teigu.
• The Mutant Fox appeared beside Elsie and told her that her attacks could not harm its Phantom.
• Elsie argued that even if the Mutant Fox was made of pure Elements, isolating those Elements might still count as harming it.

Elsie learned that the Mutant Fox could read her thoughts and that its apparent bodies were Soul Splits, while the fox reflected on its life as a human and the devastation it had witnessed in Russia. It left the ruined city still detached from the wider conflict, convinced that its survival ability made its choice of race largely irrelevant.

• The Mutant Fox sensed Elsie's thoughts and told her that neither of its apparent bodies was real and that killing one would not harm its true body, which was outside the country.
• The Mutant Fox recalled that its Soul Split had been attacked by humans and Mutant Creatures despite its strength, and explained that it had forgotten much human knowledge while spending its attention on snacks and entertainment.
• The Mutant Fox described following the Mutant White Tiger to a ruined city, where it saw the violence and destruction that contradicted its belief that humans and Mutant Creatures were living in relative peace.
• The Mutant Fox resolved to give up alcohol and lust but refused to abandon snacks, drinks, anime, and television.
• The Mutant Fox concluded that it could survive as a human or Mutant Creature and preferred humanity to win unless Mutant Creatures could eventually produce appealing entertainment and food.

Balang’s last human stronghold, Qingdulan, faced the four powerful Mutant Creatures responsible for much of the country’s destruction. The creatures planned to seize the city intact and raise humans there as nourishment.

• Balang’s cities fell to the Beast Tide, leaving Qingdulan as the country’s final line of defense.
• More than a hundred Mutant Jumping Mice gathered outside Qingdulan, led by a nearly two-meter-tall creature eager to devour the city’s humans.
• A Mutant Crocodile warned the Jumping Mouse not to let hunger disrupt their plan to consume everyone at once.
• A Mutant Kangaroo mocked the Crocodile for poisoning humans they could not eat.
• A Mutant Lizard said they should preserve Qingdulan as both a human-breeding ground and their future base.
• The four creatures—Jumping Mouse, Crocodile, Kangaroo, and Lizard—were identified as Balang’s strongest Mutant Creatures and the destroyers of half the country’s cities.

As Mutant Creatures surrounded Balang’s last city, Delman urged its people to submit by promising they could live under The King’s rule. His appeal tempted most of the survivors, while a weathered man mourned that their willingness to surrender betrayed the Warriors who had died protecting them.

• The Mutant Crocodile judged that attacking the desperate humans would make its plan difficult and left the negotiations to Delman.
• Delman addressed the city, arguing that submission would let ordinary people and their families survive and gain a valued place under The King.
• Many people on the walls considered surrendering, weary of the danger and hardship they had endured since the Reiki Revival.
• A weathered man urged the people of Balang to resist, recalling their repeated retreats from the Beast Tide and their failure to defend Qingdulan.
• The man blamed himself for retreating before and lamented that the Warriors who had covered their escape had died for people now prepared to betray humanity.

Delman persuaded Balang’s surviving people to submit to the Mutant Creatures so they could live, then presented the creatures with a plan to preserve humans as workers and keepers of civilization. After the fall of Qingdulan, the four clans accepted his plan, leaving three million humans alive under their rule.

• Delman argued that survival mattered more than heroic resistance, and the people who resisted were allowed to die by his hand rather than at the Mutant Creatures’ hands.
• Balang’s survivors chose submission, and Qingdulan’s fall marked the collapse of the nation’s last defense.
• Delman proposed training, educating, and employing humans, allowing them to live and reproduce until they lost their value as workers.
• Delman told the Mutant Crocodile that human knowledge and labor were more useful than using the three million survivors as nourishment.
• The Mutant Lizard, Mutant Kangaroo, and Mutant Jumping Mouse agreed with the plan, and the Mutant Crocodile accepted it.

After conquering Balang, the Mutant Crocodile and the other Mutant Creatures considered their next targets and reviewed the strength of the surviving human nations. Delman warned them that they were only Second Sequence and should avoid countries with First Sequence Espers.

• The Mutant Crocodile accepted Delman's terms for Balang's survivors and asked what the Mutant Creatures should do after taking the continent.
• The Mutant Lizard explained that Python had gone to the birthplace of Deities to seek room to grow, while the others remained wary of its overwhelming strength.
• Delman presented information on the surviving human nations, identifying Huaxia and the Lighthouse Nation as the strongest.
• The Mutant Kangaroo asked which Sequence the Kings belonged to, and Delman said Huaxia classified them as Second Sequence.
• Delman named Japan's Three Gods and Kimchi Country's The Savior among the known First Sequence Espers and warned the Kings not to challenge nations that had one.

Countries watched Balang fall to a Beast Tide led by four Second Sequence Mutant Creatures, while some Balang humans surrendered and others called for help. Leaders in Japan and Huaxia debated whether to intervene and what the disaster revealed about the Mutant Creatures.

• God of Thunder dismissed Balang's defeat as a failure of strength and technology, but vowed to slaughter the Mutant Creatures responsible once he was strong enough.
• Ling watched the creatures kill and Devour Balang's civilians, while Luoshui Sanxian urged her to control her rage and warned against risking Japan by intervening.
• Huo Yu questioned why Balang had no First Sequence Esper, and Ye Feng and Chen Bing speculated that any such Esper had either not matured or had died.
• Chen Changsheng and Qin Tian recognized that the Mutant Creatures were communicating with humans and that eating human flesh could increase their intelligence.
• Liu Suifeng told Huo Yu that Balang was divided between those seeking rescue and those opposing foreign intervention, and said neither choice between dignity and survival was inherently wrong.
