Chapter Summaries

Gu Mo and Yakumo Yukari encountered Princess and Yagokoro Eirin, and Gu Mo’s passive ability let him remain visible and interact with them despite Princess’s control over eternity and the instant. After the Lunarians left, a pink-haired girl appeared in the courtyard, while Eirin and Princess returned to Mount Fuji and secretly treated those affected by the girl’s deathly aura.

• Princess used her ability to remove herself and Yagokoro Eirin from the world’s causality, but Gu Mo could still see and speak with them.
• Yagokoro Eirin questioned Gu Mo about his ability, then left with Princess when their visit to Earth had to end.
• Yakumo Yukari asked Gu Mo how he had resisted Princess’s ability, and he attributed it mainly to his passive skill, Independent Manifestation.
• A pink-haired girl emerged from the corridor and asked Gu Mo and Yakumo Yukari who they were and how they had entered her home.
• Yagokoro Eirin prepared medicine to make people affected by the girl’s deathly aura forget the incident, and Princess scattered it across Kyoto in an instant.

Kaguya and Yagokoro Eirin discussed the improbable fulfillment of Kaguya’s impossible tasks and the mysterious man behind it, while Eirin urged Kaguya to keep her distance. After discovering the Aya Aya Times, Kaguya was left with new questions, and Gu Mo and the Yokai Girl considered how to deal with the root they had found.

• Yagokoro Eirin gave Kaguya the remaining medicine and questioned whether her connection to the mysterious man explained the coincidence.
• Kaguya and Yagokoro Eirin discussed the Jeweled Branch of Horai, the man’s moon-related power, and Eirin’s belief that she had fought only one of his incarnations.

• Kaguya read an Aya Aya Times newspaper she had picked up in Kyoto and wondered when such a publication had appeared on Earth.
• Gu Mo returned to the gap with the Yokai Girl, and she asked whether they should kill the root they had found.

Gu Mo and Yakumo Yukari discussed Saigyouji Yuyuko’s connection to the dangerous Yokai Cherry Tree and planned to help her control or separate its power of death. After Ran served them food, Gu Mo revealed that his ability was the same as Shinki’s World-Creating Ability, prompting Yukari to regard him suspiciously.

• Gu Mo rejected killing Yuyuko as the simplest solution, and Yukari admitted she might have chosen it herself.
• Gu Mo reasoned that the Yokai Cherry Tree’s curse had made Yuyuko its primary consciousness, while Yukari warned that the tree’s instincts could eventually overwhelm her.
• Gu Mo proposed improving Yuyuko’s attributes so she could control or separate the power of death, and Yukari resolved to spend more time with her herself.
• Yakumo Ran returned and took the pair’s food order, while Gu Mo praised her cooking.
• Yukari asked about Gu Mo’s doll maid, Izayoi, and he said her programming still needed adjustment before he could truly create life.
• Gu Mo said his World-Creating Ability was the same as Shinki’s, and Yukari narrowed her eyes at his explanation.

After returning to the Magic Ship, Gu Mo spoke with his doll maid Izayoi and met Princess Kaguya, who had come to browse the Curiosity Shop. When Kaguya declined to shop, Gu Mo transformed into a colossal dragon that blotted out the sky.

• Gu Mo returned to Yokai Mountain, heard that Shameimaru Aya was being punished by the Great Tengu, and then warped back to the Magic Ship.
• Gu Mo found Izayoi waiting on the deck and reflected that his powerful all-purpose maid still lacked a soul and true life.

Victor and Joseph continued searching the East China Sea for Horai Island and the supernatural opportunity they had once encountered. Their search was interrupted when a colossal dragon appeared above the cruise ship amid a world-darkening storm, and monitoring satellites captured the manifestation.

• Victor told Joseph that the fog the previous night had been ordinary sea fog, and neither man had found the opportunity they sought.
• Victor and Joseph discussed their years of searching and agreed to focus on Horai Island rather than the dangerous Wild Hunt.
• A tremendous roar swept across the cruise ship and sea, stunning every living creature and throwing the passengers into panic.
• The sky turned dark as lightning revealed a colossal dragon above a vast island, while storms and towering waves engulfed the sea.
• Satellites monitoring the cruise ship detected the spectacle, leaving everyone who saw it on their screens speechless.

Gu Mo’s Bloodline Enhancement transformed him into a sacred Divine Dragon and raised the power shared by his sufficiently strong avatars, briefly unleashing storms across multiple worlds. After adapting to his new power and returning to human form, he met Yakumo Yukari, who mistook him for his main body and left after suspecting he had concealed his relationship with Princess Kaguya.

• Gu Mo’s transformation into a colossal Divine Dragon stirred up a vast storm, prompting governments around the world to halt travel and evacuate nearby regions.
• On Horai Island, Souhime worried over the dragon until Gu Mo reassured her telepathically that he had only needed time to adapt to his new power.
• Gu Mo realized his subconscious idea of a sacred dragon had shaped his transformation, while his Status Panel remained blurred as the system recalculated his abilities.
• Miss Tamamo and the others checked on Gu Mo, and he learned that only avatars near seventy percent of his main body’s former power had undergone the transformation.
• In another world, Gu Mo calmed the storms, returned to human form, and used the Power of Lies to obscure the attention drawn by his transformation.
• Yakumo Yukari mistook Gu Mo for his true main body and accused him of hiding his long acquaintance with Princess Kaguya before leaving through a gap.

Gu Mo’s breakthrough transformed his avatar into a being of immense power, and Yakumo Yukari misread his meeting with Princess Kaguya before leaving in anger. As tengu approached to investigate the divine dragon’s appearance, Gu Mo asked Kaguya to keep his identity secret.

• Gu Mo realized Yakumo Yukari had reversed the distance and time around them, then closed the rift before he could explain himself.
• Gu Mo recognized that Yukari had mistaken his newly empowered avatar for his true body and suspected him of pursuing Princess Kaguya.
• Princess Kaguya questioned Gu Mo about his argument with Yukari, and he tried to brush it off as a minor misunderstanding.
• Tengu from Yokai Mountain approached to investigate the storm and dragon that had appeared nearby.
• Gu Mo worried that rumors would identify him as a Dragon God, so he asked Princess Kaguya to keep what happened secret.

A supernatural force erased the immense storm and tsunami before they could devastate the human world, leaving a cruise ship moored beside Horai Island. The survivors then saw the dragon clearly, and an old man recognized it as the immortal he had encountered before.

• People on beaches fled as a gigantic tsunami and storm advanced, but an unseen force abruptly dissipated them before they reached land.
• Experts and governments reacted to the disaster’s sudden disappearance, while satellites showed calm seas and no trace of the dragon, Peach Blossom Spring, or cruise ship.
• Passengers on the luxury cruise ship awoke injured but alive beside Horai Island, and a woman agent realized she had witnessed the supernatural incident she had been assigned to investigate.
• The survivors saw the immense dragon winding around the island and felt its overwhelming presence.
• An old man pleaded with the dragon, which told him and another passenger that they were fated to meet and acknowledged their persistence.
• The old man realized the dragon was the immortal he had met before and asked it in disbelief.

Gu Mo revealed his dragon form to the cruise ship’s passengers and allowed them to choose whether to stay on Horai Island or leave. After the group reached the lakeside village, he considered adjusting the island’s time barrier because time had passed far more slowly there than in his other worlds.

• Gu Mo appeared above the cruise ship in his colossal dragon form and told the passengers they could stay or leave under the island’s ancient rules.
• Gu Mo vanished, and passengers split between those who followed Joseph and Victor toward the island and those who remained aboard or reacted hysterically.
• Joseph, Victor, and several hundred people crossed Horai Island’s mountain paths and reached the lakeside village.
• Gu Mo examined the village and reflected that its time barrier needed adjustment because time there had advanced much more slowly than in his other worlds.

Gu Mo addressed the people who had reached Horai Island, warning them that immortality and power would require sacrifice and were not guaranteed. As national representatives questioned him about supernatural forces, he revealed that such powers existed only under his jurisdiction and said he had killed the Wild Hunt.

• Gu Mo showed the crowd his oppressive presence, then told them to consider the costs and risks of staying on the island.
• An old man and a middle-aged man chose to stay, while Gu Mo urged the undecided to decide soon because time passed much faster outside.
• Xin Zhen identified herself as a representative of the National Special Operations Bureau, and representatives from other countries prepared to question Gu Mo.
• Gu Mo read the representatives' thoughts and explained that supernatural arts existed only under his jurisdiction, not elsewhere in the world.
• A devout woman challenged Gu Mo by citing the Wild Hunt, and he replied that he had killed them all.

After Gu Mo’s display of power left the representatives terrified, they speculated that he had destroyed the supernatural world and wiped out the Wild Hunt. He left them to decide whether to stay or go, then returned with Souhime to Horai Island’s inner space, where he revealed that his restored humanoid body retained immense compressed mass.

• The representatives connected Gu Mo’s power to the Wild Hunt’s destruction and fell silent in fear.
• Gu Mo took Souhime’s hand, vanished, and left the representatives to decide what to do next.
• The representatives assumed Xin Zhen’s background had earned Gu Mo’s attention and asked her to cooperate, but she refused to agree blindly.
• Souhime asked Gu Mo whether he was all right after they returned to Horai Island’s inner space.
• Gu Mo demonstrated his strength and explained that his normal-looking body concealed the enormous mass he had compressed into humanoid form.

Gu Mo reassured Souhime that he could free her from her confinement on Horai Island, then examined the island’s time barrier before returning to the Moon. There, the Idiot System finished updating, consumed a Legendary Key, and announced major upgrades and new permissions.

• Gu Mo told Souhime that Kikyo and the others were in another world, then promised he could solve her restricted movement and let her travel beyond Horai Island.
• Souhime happily went to inspect the Cauldron of Resonance, while Gu Mo suspected her lingering guilt over the Four War Gods’ attack kept her tied to guarding the island.
• Gu Mo used Horai Island’s authority and the Cauldron of Resonance to study the island’s spacetime structure and prepare to modify its Time Barrier.
• After returning to the Moon, Gu Mo watched the Idiot System complete its update and learned that it had consumed one Legendary Key during an overwrite.
• The system reported that Gu Mo could choose two additional effects for reaching 30 Spirit Attribute, upgraded the Lie badge to red Legendary Quality, and unlocked new Legendary Status permissions and Fate auto-grinding.

After completing the Original World Divine Body enhancement, Gu Mo examined his new Immortal God status, greatly increased attributes, and newly listed passive traits. His Legendary Status unlocked dungeon gameplay, including Fate and an undetermined dungeon, and he opened Fate’s Heroic Spirit summoning settings.

• Gu Mo entered Fate’s Detailed Settings and found a Heroic Spirit summoning template with settings for ability values and Noble Phantasms.

Gu Mo configured his new Dungeon auto-farming feature and discovered that it intercepted summoning requests, allowing him to answer one from another World Line. He arrived before a gravely injured Illya instead of Heracles, healed her, and left her stunned as the Fifth Holy Grail War began two months early with the wrong Servant summoned.

• Gu Mo maxed out his Servant attributes and noticed locked options that might represent projects or possibilities from other versions of himself.
• Gu Mo activated auto-farming and received a flood of party requests, then chose one at random to answer.

• Gu Mo healed Illya and told her he was her Servant but not Heracles, despite her Holy Relic being present.
• Gu Mo offered to impersonate Heracles and wield the Axe-Sword as Illya stared in disbelief.

Gu Mo was summoned by the silver-haired Illya instead of Heracles, killed the Einzbern terminal that came to investigate, and removed the castle from its foundations. He left with Illya and the shrunken castle, leaving her to realize she had summoned an extraordinary monster.

• Gu Mo tried to console the despairing Illya after her summoning did not produce Heracles, then picked up Heracles's stone Axe-Sword.
• When Ahad arrived and began to react to the failed summoning, Gu Mo hurled the Axe-Sword through the doorway and pulverized him.
• Gu Mo explained that the Einzbern treated Illya as a tool and that the castle's artificial intelligence had planned to subject her to deadly trials.
• As automatic puppets approached, Gu Mo lifted Illya and carried her out of the castle, cleaning the blood and dust from her.
• Gu Mo shrank the entire castle and handed it to Illya, leaving the land where it had stood completely bare.
• Illya realized Gu Mo was far more powerful than the Servant she had hoped to summon, and he claimed that knowing a little Illusion Technique was reasonable for a Berserker.

Illya arrived in Fuyuki with Gu Mo, the suspiciously rational Servant she had summoned as Berserker, and struggled to trust him while relying on him as her only ally. After Gu Mo restored the Einzbern castle’s territory, he headed into the city to begin his own plan for the Holy Grail War.

• Illya flew from Germany to Fuyuki with Gu Mo and the maids Sella and Leysritt, reflecting on her hatred of Emiya Kiritsugu and her desire to kill him.
• Illya questioned whether Gu Mo was truly a Berserker because he showed no Mad Enhancement, and Gu Mo claimed his skill was EX-rank while withholding the truth about himself.
• At the Einzbern castle, Gu Mo told Illya to rest while he reset the barriers and built up the territory, then disappeared into the forest to finish the work.
• Near dusk, Gu Mo entered Fuyuki and wrote a plan to defeat Gilgamesh, take Avalon from Emiya Shirou, and eliminate the Matou and Tohsaka families.

Gu Mo traveled to Kotomine Church to find Archer, but learned that Gilgamesh would not return for two days. He confronted Kotomine Kirei about the children who vanished after the Shinto fire.

• Gu Mo took a taxi to Kotomine Church and heard the driver describe the fire, missing children, and rumors surrounding Fuyuki City.
• Gu Mo told the driver to leave, then caused the ordinary people inside the church to depart as well.

• Gu Mo asked Kirei where Archer was and read from his mind that Gilgamesh would be away for two more days.
• Gu Mo asked Kirei whether he had kidnapped the children who disappeared in the Shinto fire ten years earlier.

Gu Mo killed Kotomine Kirei and Matou Zouken, then confronted Gilgamesh after the King of Heroes returned to Fuyuki. He trapped Gilgamesh in a Bounded Field called King's Game, which turned out to be a French-style execution platform.

• Gu Mo read Kotomine Kirei's mind, discovered that Gilgamesh was absent, and killed Kirei with a single blow that exposed the underground chamber of imprisoned children.

• Gu Mo activated the Bounded Field: King's Game, revealing a guillotine and telling Gilgamesh it was the French version.

• Gu Mo shackled Gilgamesh beneath the guillotine and executed him before the cheering crowd.
• The Grudges mixed among the crowd dispersed after Gilgamesh's execution.
