Chapter Summaries

Charlotte fought Ishermerlun Palace while capturing its Ghost Ships, and the Holy Light Divine Kingdom shifted from a giant whale to a Great Sea Serpent to damage the palace. As Charlotte’s fleet gained the upper hand, Ishermerlun Palace devoured more than a hundred Ghost Ships and began to recover.

• Charlotte resumed the battle after resting and used the Holy Light Divine Kingdom’s giant whale form to ram Ishermerlun Palace and swallow Ghost Ships.
• Charlotte captured more Ghost Ships, organized his fleet into tactical groups, and reduced his ships’ losses while improving his efficiency.
• By the second night, Charlotte controlled more than six hundred Ghost Ships, and the Holy Light Divine Kingdom transformed into a Great Sea Serpent to attack Ishermerlun Palace.
• The Great Sea Serpent damaged Ishermerlun Palace before retreating underwater, and the Holy Light Divine Kingdom devoured the palace’s scattered fragments.
• Charlotte captured another hundred or so Ghost Ships as Ishermerlun Palace called its ships back and swallowed more than a hundred of them to restore itself.

Charlotte returned to the battle between the Holy Light Divine Kingdom and Ishermerlun Palace, where Omibella sent him to challenge the revived evil god. After Charlotte’s attack failed to penetrate Ishermerlun’s Divine Radiance, Juno explained that Omibella must give birth inside the palace to counter its death authority.

• Charlotte’s Ghost Fleet intercepted some of Ishermerlun Palace’s Ghost Ships, but the palace devoured its entire fleet and regained its full strength.
• Charlotte returned to the Holy Light Divine Kingdom and saw Omibella, Amon, Vasuki, Dapochilodo, and the King of Whales as the two palaces fought in the void.
• Omibella asked Charlotte to challenge the revived Ishermerlun, and five divine powers enlarged his body and empowered his lance.
• Charlotte’s attack failed against Ishermerlun’s Divine Radiance, and Juno Arthur explained that the evil god’s authority had to be countered rather than overcome with brute force.
• Juno told Charlotte that Omibella should give birth inside Ishermerlun Palace to break its death authority, and Charlotte questioned whether she could give birth immediately.

• Charlotte returned to the Holy Light Divine Kingdom, but his body continued to collapse despite his efforts to heal himself.
• Charlotte prayed to the Master of the Court of Fate, offering a Joy of Destiny in exchange for a healthy body.

• Omibella carried Charlotte through Ishermerlun’s Wraith Cannon fire and landed on Ishermerlun.

Charlotte helped Emilia seize control of Ishermerlun Palace as Ishermerlun weakened, and the palace transformed into a new Legendary Warship named Emilia. Charlotte left aboard the Holy Light Divine Kingdom with a successful Magic Mirror copy of Ishermerlun.

• Omibella faded away after embracing Charlotte, and Emilia appeared, claiming Ishermerlun Palace as her gift and beginning to reshape it.
• Emilia built a Serpent of Destiny Temple that resisted Ishermerlun's counterattack, while Charlotte helped her defend the palace.
• Emilia blocked Ishermerlun's trident with one finger as Charlotte called on five evil gods' power and attacked Ishermerlun with the Flaming Knight's Lance.
• Emilia's structures spread through more than half the palace, weakening Ishermerlun until his body shrank and Juno sensed Charlotte's progress.
• Ishermerlun Palace transformed into a Legendary Warship named Emilia, and Charlotte departed aboard the Holy Light Divine Kingdom with a Magic Mirror copy of Ishermerlun.

Charlotte dealt with Emilia’s attempts to eat her brothers and inspected the newly acquired Mirror Demon. Juno arrived and admitted that Emilia might be even stranger than an evil god, leaving Charlotte to face the consequences of having brought several bizarre beings into his family.

• Emilia asked to eat Gareth and then Amon, but Charlotte told her to protect her brothers instead.

• Charlotte found that the Mirror Demon had reduced Ishermerlun to a weakened, unintelligent Saint Rank steward.
• Juno told Charlotte that Emilia should be an evil god, but she might be something even more bizarre.

Charlotte acquired the Memory Manipulation Labyrinth Rune, then entered the fortieth labyrinth, an isolated landmass called Mosul where two armies of elite Labyrinth Guardians fought. The diary revealed that Mosul’s eighteen town lords were Evil God Candidates competing for a single position, and Charlotte was tasked with restoring order and bringing Mosul back into the world.

• Charlotte obtained the Memory Manipulation Labyrinth Rune and tested how its effects varied by the target’s strength.
• After the route reappeared, Charlotte led the fleet through seven more labyrinths and reached the Evil God Arena in the fortieth.

• Charlotte recognized the soldiers as elite Labyrinth Guardians and realized other labyrinth masters could turn entire populations into such troops.
• The diary identified the battlefield as Mosul, where eighteen town lords serving Agmilas fought for supremacy, and ordered Charlotte to restore order and return the landmass to the world.

Charlotte discovered that he could use Mirror Demon to summon Ishermerlun inside the Evil God Arena, giving him a powerful way to capture his rivals and claim a town. After he took control of the town, the other Evil God Candidates learned what had happened and were terrified.

• Charlotte decided to seize a town while its Evil God Candidate was away fighting, and turned the nearly empty settlement into a labyrinth.
• He found that the town’s Labyrinth Guardians were severely disabled and realized the Candidates had exhausted Mosul’s population in their struggle for victory.

• Ishermerlun compelled a returning force of soldiers to enter the town, and Charlotte converted them and their Evil God Candidate into Labyrinth Guardians.
• The other Evil God Candidates received notice that Charlotte had captured one of their own and became terrified.

Charlotte conquered and Labyrinthized Mosul, then brought it back into the world in the New Continent, where its devastated population and lack of ships left him struggling to keep the towns alive. He sent Ishermerlun to fetch the Ghost Fleet and began expanding into neighboring Black Golum, attacking Lazaro Cardenas Port.

• Charlotte learned about Mosul’s eighteen warring Evil God Candidates and launched a direct assault with Ishermerlun.
• After Ishermerlun defeated the allied candidates, Charlotte occupied and Labyrinthized all eighteen towns, then restored Mosul to the world in the Christopher Region.

• While waiting for Ishermerlun, Charlotte gathered several hundred capable Labyrinth Guardians and led them south into Black Golum.
• Charlotte’s forces attacked Lazaro Cardenas Port, whose residents feared an evil god was invading.

After receiving Charlotte’s letter, Juno sent the Ghost Fleet to him and entered the new route with the Holy Light Divine Kingdom and the Emilia. Charlotte seized Lazaro Cardenas Port without a fight, expanded his power across nearby cities, and Ishermerlun guided the Ghost Fleet toward the New Continent while tormented by implanted math tests.

• Ishermerlun delivered Charlotte’s letter to Juno, who handed over the Ghost Ships and then led the Holy Light Divine Kingdom and the Emilia into the new route.
• Charlotte raised a bilingual surrender banner outside Lazaro Cardenas Port, and the frightened residents pressured General Duma to seek peace.

• Ishermerlun guided the Ghost Fleet across the Golden Sea while struggling with the mathematics test papers Charlotte had implanted in his mind.

• Charlotte ordered Ishermerlun to lead Ghost Crewmembers toward the allied forces, whose three city lords chose to surrender and sent Tintin Hergé to deliver their letter.

• Charlotte departed Black Golum with Ishermerlun and continued through the already-breached labyrinths, reaching the ninety-ninth.
• Charlotte found Juno and Emilia Mecklen battling Agmilas's labyrinth with the Holy Light Divine Kingdom and the Emilia.
• Juno told Charlotte that Agmilas could wield less than one percent of its power, making it the best time to slay the god.

• Vasuki offered to teach Charlotte, but Emilia furiously shouted for her to get away from her father.

Emilia, Juno, and Charlotte battled Agmilas as the labyrinth was shattered and its fragments were consumed and polluted by the Divine Creatures. Charlotte fought off the labyrinth’s corruption with Bloody Glory, while Emilia led her Undead Army across the remaining fragment.

• Emilia summoned a giant lightning beast that struck Agmilas, flipping the labyrinth over, while Juno blasted its shifting corridors with a Greater Prophecy Technique.
• Juno told Charlotte to control the Holy Light Divine Kingdom, then entered the labyrinth; Agmilas flipped back and extinguished the battered lightning beast.
• As Emilia and Juno’s battle intensified, Charlotte hurled the Flaming Knight’s Lance into a fissure, splitting Agmilas in two.

• Juno told Charlotte that Agmilas had been divided among three evil gods and that the Labyrinth Evil God had fallen forever.
• Charlotte returned to the real world with Juno, saw Agmilas's remains, and decided to leave the Ghost Fleet on the New Continent to guard Mosul and Black Golum.

• Charlotte revoked the qualifications of all evil god preselection candidates and Evil God Candidates, ending Agmilas's lingering influence over them.
• After thirteen days, the Emilia reappeared, and three evil runes lit up on Charlotte's back as a silver snake's tail circled them.

Charlotte learned that three Evil Gods of the Agres Sea hated him, then sailed home aboard the reborn Emilia after inspecting Agmilas’s islands and labyrinths. He reunited with Kratos’s fleet at a mysterious island, where the Saint Ranks marveled at Emilia.

• Charlotte discovered that Ipgil, Xiloxian, and Nairo regarded him as a mortal enemy, while Juno Arthur said he had blocked their brands from sensing him.
• The three Evil Gods were branded with “Charlot Mecklenburg’s Brand” and cursed Charlotte as he prepared to spread faith in the Serpent of Destiny across the Agres Sea.

• Charlotte’s two Legendary Warships crossed a storm, and his messages revealed that Kratos’s fleet was anchored nearby rather than having returned to Duke Mecklen’s Territory.
• Charlotte reached a previously unseen island, where Kratos and several Saint Ranks welcomed him and questioned him about the Emilia.

Kratos and Juno explained that a storm kept trapping their fleet near King Ivona, the Divine Creature beneath Charlotte’s ship, and Juno revealed how they had slain Agmilas. As the reunited crews celebrated, an evil mist closed around them, and Juno sensed that a newly ascended God Rank monster was responsible.

• Kratos told Charlotte that every attempt to sail away from the island ended with the fleet returning after a storm, and Juno identified King Ivona as the most powerful Divine Creature in the Sea of Giant Whales.

• A growing mist surrounded the celebrating fleet, and Juno concluded that a newly ascended God Rank monster was trapping them.

• After seven or eight days, the fleet escaped the storm and reached a normal route beneath a clear blue sky.

Charlotte’s fleet escaped a storm-borne Divine Creature and sailed back to Cappadocia, where he learned the city had grown prosperous under Cruz and Seaman. Still unable to advance to Saint Rank, Charlotte planned to visit Menilman on Saint Michael’s Island before continuing home to Fars.
