Chapter Summaries

Ye Ting assigned the goddesses tasks to help stabilize Earth’s spiritual energy, then summoned Longinus and proposed dismantling it so Nike’s power could be used elsewhere. Nike accepted his decision, leaving the weapon’s future form unanswered.

• Ye Ting assigned Hecate and Tamamo-no-Mae to manage ley lines, BB to calculate spatial coordinates, and Athena, Artemis, and Aphrodite to maintain Mars, the Moon, and Venus in their orbits.
• Ye Ting summoned Longinus, whose aura plunged everyone into an illusion of a blood-soaked battlefield until he ordered it to stop.
• The goddesses recognized Longinus’s immense power, which had grown as it slew gods and now threatened to collapse space around it.
• Nike, Longinus’s powerful artifact spirit, appeared before the group.
• Ye Ting proposed temporarily dismantling Longinus and using Nike’s power elsewhere, and Nike agreed to obey his wishes.

Ye Ting divided the Spear of Longinus into three artifacts, reserving its god-slaying power for Longinus and turning the other two spears into anchors to stabilize the worlds. He chose the British Isles and Fusang Archipelago as anchor sites, assigning Nike and Jing Ke to place them, but the new artifacts still needed names.

• Ye Ting dismantled the Spear of Longinus into three spears, separating its god-slaying power from its spatial powers.
• Ye Ting explained that Longinus would remain in the Inner Sea of Stars to suppress divine life, while the other two spears would anchor the Inner Sea of Stars to the planet's surface.
• Ye Ting and the others identified the British Isles and Fusang Archipelago as suitable places for the anchors.
• Ye Ting ordered Nike to place the lance in the British Isles, and Jing Ke volunteered to lead Qin's fangshi in placing the other spear.
• Ye Ting accepted Jing Ke's offer and handed her the spear, then faced the question of what to name the two anchor artifacts.

Ye Ting had Nike and Jing Ke name the two holy lances, Rhongomyniad and Ame-no-Nuboko, which would anchor the world’s surface and reverse sides. He assigned Altera and the others to protect him during the ritual to end the Age of Gods, warning that Gaia might try to stop them.

• Ye Ting asked Nike and Jing Ke to name their lances, and Nike named hers Rhongomyniad.
• Jing Ke named her lance Ame-no-Nuboko, which Ye Ting planned to use to connect the two worlds through Japan.
• Altera asked Ye Ting for a task, and he assigned her, Dantalian, Bastet, Medea, Circe, Atalanta, Medusa, and the angels to protect him during the ritual.
• Ye Ting explained that Gaia’s corrective force might oppose the ritual and send threats, including Heroic Spirits, to stop it.
• Altera and the others agreed to defend Ye Ting, and he urged everyone to begin their work.

Ye Ting completed his ritual by using two God-Slaying Spears to join Earth’s inner and outer worlds, then began rewriting the planet’s laws with the First and Third Magics. As his changes spread across Earth, Gaia awakened and recognized him as a threat to the planet.

• Nike drove Rhongomyniad into Earth’s ley lines while Xu Fu submerged Ame-no-Nuboko in a lake, anchoring the inner and outer worlds together.
• Ye Ting prepared to return the surface’s True Ether to the Inner Sea of Stars and replace it with ether created by the planet’s soul.
• Ye Ting activated the Third Magic and used the First Magic to write new laws across the Inner Sea of Stars and Earth’s surface.
• BB, Hecate, Tamamo-no-Mae, and the Greek goddesses sensed the planet stir as Gaia awakened in response to Ye Ting’s actions.

Gaia realized she could not affect the Inner Sea of Stars, so she assembled the planet’s Fantasy Species into an army to attack Ye Ting there. Ye Ting rallied his heroes, demigods, and angels to resist, and the Inner Sea of Stars became a bloody battlefield.

• Gaia realized the Inner Sea of Stars was beyond her authority and sent her subordinates to attack Ye Ting.
• Fantasy Species across the planet gathered into Gaia’s army and marched toward the Inner Sea of Stars.

• Ye Ting’s forces, including Medea, Circe, Atalanta, Nitocris, Larey, the Amazon warriors, and angels, fought Gaia’s army.
• The battle stained the Inner Sea of Stars with blood and turned its peaceful landscape into a battlefield.

Gaia, unable to rely on the gods Ye Ting had exterminated, began summoning the strongest Heroic Spirits from the Throne of Heroes to fight him. As Gaia’s army faltered against Ye Ting’s forces, Hippolyta sensed danger when black openings appeared over the battlefield and an arrogant Heroic Spirit emerged.

• Gaia turned to the Throne of Heroes for powerful allies because Ye Ting had eliminated the world’s deities.
• Ye Ting’s forces pushed Gaia’s army into retreat, with Hippolyta and Penthesilea leading the Amazons against the half-orcs while Medea, Atalanta, and the angels supported the assault.
• Hippolyta halted the advance after sensing danger above the battlefield.
• Black openings appeared in the sky, and a proud male voice threatened the forces defying the world.

Gilgamesh, Ramses II, and two more powerful Heroic Spirits arrived to face the battlefield’s formidable enemies. Ye Ting recognized the newcomers and wondered whether Gaia had sent representatives of four ancient civilizations against the last one.

• Gilgamesh appeared before the black hole and surveyed the enemies, preparing to fight alone.
• When more Heroic Spirits arrived, Gilgamesh complained to Gaia that the reinforcements insulted his abilities.
• Ramses II appeared and insisted he could save the world without assistance, then exchanged boasts with Gilgamesh.
• Gilgamesh and Ramses II realized that their combined deployment meant the crisis was exceptionally dangerous.
• Two more Heroic Spirits arrived, and Ye Ting recognized them and wondered whether Gaia was pitting four ancient civilizations against the last one.

Gaia sent Gilgamesh, Ozymandias, Karna, and Romulus to confront Ye Ting, whom Dantalian introduced as Qin Shi Huang and the ruler of an empire spanning the world and Solar System. The four Heroic Spirits acknowledged Ye Ting’s achievements, but they still began the battle.

• Gilgamesh, Ozymandias, Karna, and Romulus arrived together to face Ye Ting.

• The battle began between Ye Ting and the four Heroic Spirits.

Nitocris fought Ozymandias’s overwhelming power in the Ramesseum Tentyris, refusing to surrender despite her exhaustion. She explained that she fought for the man she loved, and Ozymandias answered by unleashing the Dendera Great Electric Ball against her.

• Nitocris endured Ozymandias’s Noble Phantasms and the Ramesseum Tentyris’s divine attacks until she was nearly unable to continue fighting.

• Nitocris told Ozymandias that she loved the man she was helping and would rather be his lover than only a Pharaoh.
• Ozymandias understood her bond and summoned the Dendera Great Electric Ball to destroy her.

Ye Ting completed his analysis and had Dantalian use the Book of Styx's Shield to protect the embattled allies from their enemies. They retreated toward him while Gilgamesh began bombarding the barrier with Gate of Babylon, leaving Dantalian under heavy strain.

• Gilgamesh overwhelmed Atalanta and Medea with Gate of Babylon, while Romulus used his Hercules-like combat skill to overpower Hippolyta and Penthesilea.
• Attila remained at a disadvantage against Karna, and the angel legion could not break through the endless Shadow Servants to aid the others.
• Ye Ting announced that his analysis was complete and called on Dantalian.
• Dantalian opened the Book of Styx's Shield and raised a barrier that stopped the incoming attacks, allowing Nitocris and the others to retreat toward Ye Ting.
• Gilgamesh unleashed a storm of weapons from Gate of Babylon against the barrier, which held but left Dantalian visibly strained.

Gilgamesh overwhelmed Dantalian and her allies with the Gate of Babylon, but Ye Ting revealed he had used the battle to analyze how Heroic Spirits connected to the Throne of Heroes. Using the Third Magic, he began turning the summoned women into Heroic Spirits and declared that Gilgamesh and the others had outlived their usefulness.

Ye Ting used the Third Magic to turn Nitocris, Medea, Atalanta, Attila, Hippolyta, and Penthesilea into Heroic Spirits after learning how to connect to the Throne of Heroes. As the empowered women charged into battle, Nitocris challenged Ozymandias to a fight over who was the greater pharaoh.

• Ye Ting explained that he had studied the Heroic Spirits and used the Third Magic to grant the women their power.
• Dantalian withdrew the Shield Book's barrier, and the newly empowered women charged at Gilgamesh and Ozymandias.
• Gilgamesh acknowledged Ye Ting's victory in mastering the secret of Heroic Spirits, while Ozymandias insisted that his side had not lost the war.
• Nitocris confronted Ozymandias, called him a junior, and invoked Osiris to punish her enemies.

Nitocris deployed the second layer of her Reality Marble, Eternal Sun Empire, and Memphis emerged unscathed from Ozymandias's bombardment. Ozymandias recognized the scale of her achievement and felt his own temple pale beside it; the chapter ended with a profile detailing Nitocris's abilities and Noble Phantasms.

• Nitocris's Eternal Sun Empire was described as a four-layer Reality Marble that embodied the Egyptian Empire she had founded.
• Ozymandias bombarded Nitocris, but the walls of her second layer, the Royal City of Memphis, withstood his attack.

• Nitocris's Heroic Spirit profile listed her skills, attributes, and Noble Phantasms.

Nitocris revealed Memphis as her Reality Marble and explained that her rule was built on answering her people’s hopes, shaking Ozymandias’s pride. She then ordered the city’s forces to bombard Ramesseum Tentyris, leaving Ozymandias trapped inside his battered pyramid and struggling to defend it.

• Nitocris summoned Memphis and its undying legion, stunning Ozymandias and the others with the scale of her Noble Phantasm, Eternal Sun Empire.
• Nitocris told Ozymandias that a Pharaoh should embody the aspirations of the people rather than be worshipped as a god, and he fell silent as he compared their legacies.

• Memphis’s archers, siege engines, mage corps, and temples unleashed a devastating barrage that destroyed Ramesseum Tentyris’s subsidiary temples.
• Ozymandias retreated into the pyramid-shaped main temple and struggled to maintain its defenses under the bombardment.

Ozymandias emerged from the ruins of the Ramesseum Tentyris and sacrificed its main hall to draw upon Ra’s immense power for a final confrontation with Nitocris. Nitocris recognized the power of her father as Ozymandias was swallowed by the sun and transformed through his Mythical Dress.

• Nitocris’s attack destroyed most of the Ramesseum Tentyris, leaving its main hall standing.
• Ozymandias admitted that Nitocris surpassed him as a Pharaoh but vowed to defeat her as a god’s incarnation.

Ozymandias sacrificed his Sun God’s temple and ultimate Noble Phantasm to manifest as Ra, gaining divine power in the Inner Sea of Stars. With Ye Ting unable to act and lacking the advantages that had once secured his victories against the gods, Ozymandias summoned Aton to face him.

• The chapter explained that the gods had once overthrown the Primordial Mother Goddess and inherited the Ten Crowns, primordial powers that Ozymandias now wielded.
• Ozymandias emerged from the fading white light in golden armor after sacrificing his temple and ultimate Noble Phantasm, and manifested the power of Ra.
• The chapter contrasted Ye Ting’s former advantages in timing, terrain, and allies with his present isolation, the intact divine Authorities, and the lost power of the Spear of Longinus.
• Ozymandias declared that he would defeat Ye Ting as a god and summoned the golden disk Aton.

Ozymandias unleashed the Sun Disk’s ultimate attack, “God’s Wrath: Return All to Nothingness,” but Nitocris emerged unharmed and revealed that her authority surpassed Ra’s. Ozymandias realized his attack had barely affected anything beyond the area around him, while Nitocris displayed a divine power that belonged to her alone.

• Ozymandias activated Aton and unleashed beams that burned the earth, shattered space, and threatened to erase the battlefield.

• Nitocris explained that Ozymandias’s divine authority could not harm her because hers was greater.
• Ozymandias realized his attack had destroyed almost nothing beyond the area around himself and sensed that Nitocris’s divinity belonged to her alone.

Nitocris fully deployed Eternal Sun Empire and revealed that her power came from Egypt’s recognition of her devoted rule, allowing her to defeat Ozymandias and suppress his Egyptian attacks. Ozymandias accepted that his kingly path had lost, while Gilgamesh resolved to challenge Nitocris himself.

• Nitocris fully activated Eternal Sun Empire, transforming her Reality Marble into an Egyptian empire and reclaiming her complete power.
• Nitocris explained that her status as Egypt’s divine representative let her summon Egyptian Heroic Spirits and nullify Egyptian attacks, which had made Ozymandias’s ultimate strike harmless.
• Ozymandias asked why Nitocris had drawn out the battle, and she explained that her strength came from the Egyptian people’s recognition of her service to the nation.

• Gilgamesh resolved to defeat Nitocris in a direct contest and settle their disagreement over their kingly paths.

Attila and Karna escalated their duel, with Attila gaining the upper hand after activating the Star Emblem. Karna’s divine armor began to weaken under her civilization-eroding, god-slaying attacks, leaving him to gamble on breaking the deadlock.

• Attila and Karna paused their long exchange of blows when the Pharaohs’ clash elsewhere began affecting the battlefield.

• Karna blocked Attila’s attacks with his golden armor, but her Civilization Erosion gradually weakened it.
• Attila’s power against gods threatened Karna’s divine nature, and he resorted to a dangerous gamble.
