Chapter Summaries

Moros bought intelligence on Moth to Fire and a senator from Fox, then used the senator’s secrets to plan his revenge. After leaving Dusk Street, he punished gangs that tried to rob him and sent mind-controlled gang members back to their hideout.

• Moros studied the senator’s secrets and considered where to intercept him, while the hooded broker wondered how valuable the information might become.

• As the last vehicle entered the hideout, someone inside opened its window and fired a gun.

• Moros froze the SWAT officers’ bullets, sent his wraiths to kill the police and helicopter crews, and learned the names of those involved in the Y City incident from the councillor’s soul.

• The councillors chose to ignore Moros’s identity and avoided challenging him after the attack demonstrated that their security could not stop his wraiths.

• Moros watched from a private box as Eden stepped onto the stage.

• Two mercenaries broke into Moros’s empty cabin, where his wraiths appeared and tore them apart.

Moros discovered that mercenaries had seized the Ocean Miracle for contraband and valuable hostages, then unleashed his undead to hunt them and assist Elysia.

• After two mercenaries died in Moros's room, Moros returned from the Demiplane and ordered the undead to kill Team Seven.

• Elysia asked Moros to spare the commander if he told the truth, and Moros agreed.
• The commander thanked them and began explaining the reason for the attack.

• Moros shared an edited account of how he had forced the Mu Continent’s rulers to back down, deepening the trust between himself, Elysia, and Eden.
• The mercenary commander found the mercenaries on the lower deck dead and returned alone to the small transport ship, ordering the others to retreat without attacking the Ocean Miracle.
• Several ghostly figures appeared aboard the transport ship after the commander stopped a mercenary from firing the torpedo, and he cried out that Moros had promised to let him leave.

Moros monitored the mercenary commander, intimidated the Ocean Miracle’s passengers to protect Elysia and Eden’s identities, and discovered that Moth to Fire had destroyed the mercenaries’ transport ship. He summoned a Spectral Dragon over the ship, leaving Elysia and Eden shocked by the undead creature.

• Moros opened a Demiplane passage and summoned a Spectral Dragon above the Ocean Miracle, astonishing the passengers, Eden, and Elysia.

After Moros sent the Spectral Dragon after the wraiths, Moth to Fire’s council decided to use the California to test Moros’s strength. The submarine destroyed the mercenaries and turned toward the Ocean Miracle, but the Spectral Dragon pursued it underwater as Colonel Marvin prepared to fire.

• Moros ordered the Spectral Dragon to pursue the wraiths while Elysia and Eden chose not to investigate his actions.
• Moth to Fire’s councillors agreed to eliminate the mercenaries and test Moros’s strength, with Councillor Vincent committing the California to the mission.

• The Spectral Dragon traced the torpedo’s path, dove into the sea, and rapidly pursued the California.
• Colonel Marvin ordered evasive maneuvers, turned the submarine to bring its bow torpedo tubes to bear, and prepared to fire at the approaching dragon.

• Colonel Marvin ordered the California to fire four torpedoes at the Spectral Dragon, which intercepted them before tearing the submarine apart and causing a nuclear leak.
• Moros ordered the Spectral Dragon to remain near the Ocean Miracle, then used Demiplane passages to reach the Mu Continent capital.
• Moros sent the Spectral Dragon crashing into the council building and warned the councillors that a future visit would be more than a greeting.
• The council speaker rejected a proposal to attack the Spectral Dragon, deciding that escalating before they could address the underlying threat would leave the Mu Continent in a worse position.
• Moros returned to his territory, and the wraiths detected no further threats during the Ocean Miracle's voyage.

After the Ocean Miracle reached Quanzhou Port, Moros gave Elysia and Eden Spectre Jars and arranged for all passengers to leave so their connection to him would not stand out. He ordered spectres to kill the witnesses, exposing himself to the authorities, who chose to seek negotiations rather than confront him.

• The Ocean Miracle continued to Quanzhou Port after its captain repaired the radio and consulted the cruise company.
• Moros gave Elysia and Eden Spectre Jars before they prepared to leave the ship.
• Moros asked Quanzhou Port's officials to let every passenger disembark freely, keeping Elysia and Eden from attracting special attention.
• After Elysia and Eden boarded a train to Canghai City, Moros ordered spectres to eliminate passengers who could reveal his relationship with them.

After leaving Quanzhou Port, Moros returned to the Graveyard territory and resumed studying necromancy while the first Great Collapse struck a city on Mu Continent. The First Herrscher, Herrscher of Reason, emerged amid the disaster, but Mu Continent’s rapid military response disrupted its preparations and threatened to overwhelm its limited ability to create weapons.

• Moros reached an agreement with Quanzhou Port’s authorities, left the city, and evaded the regime’s pursuit with Illusion Magic and Spatial Teleportation.

• The First Herrscher’s preparations were disrupted by Mu Continent’s rapid mobilization, while its ability to create weapons remained limited by its Collapse Energy supply.

The Herrscher of Reason’s First Great Collapse ended when Mu Continent overwhelmed it with military forces, though the battle left the continent with devastating losses and spurred worldwide research into Collapse Energy. Two years later, Moros returned to Fuyuan City and prepared to confront the agency restricting Eden’s artistic pursuits.

• The Herrscher of Reason lost air superiority and was defeated by Mu Continent’s forces after its weapons and Collapse Energy were depleted, while the fighting destroyed a city and cost Mu Continent thousands of aircraft and armored vehicles.
• News of the First Great Collapse leaked to national powers, prompting a surge in Collapse Energy research and military production, while Moth to Fire gained independent armed forces.

• Moros ordered the general manager to prepare documents and a development strategy centered on Eden, and declared that the chairman would die and the shareholders would transfer their shares to Eden.

After Moros destroyed House Edward, the mayor of Fuyuan City let Eden take control of XX Entertainment Company rather than risk provoking Moros. Moros gave Eden the shares and then met the city's power holders to protect her new position, leaving the meeting underway.

• The mayor learned that House Edward had been destroyed and suspected Moros, then chose not to interfere with the transfer of XX Entertainment Company shares.
• XX Entertainment Company changed ownership, and Eden became its major shareholder after Moros arranged the transfer.

Moros offered Fuyuan City's leaders the chance to become vampires in exchange for their support, but they secretly agreed to hedge their bets between him and the Mu Continent. After learning of their plan, Moros reduced the quality of the transformation ritual he intended to give them.

• Moros met with Fuyuan City's mayor and influential family leaders, presenting himself as a potential partner and offering each of them a Vampire Transformation Ritual.
• The mayor accepted Moros's offer, and the other leaders followed, drawn by the promise of immortality and wary of his strength.
• After Moros left, the leaders debated whether to commit to him and decided to publicly show loyalty to both Moros and the Mu Continent while delaying a final choice.
• Moros learned of their decision through a wraith he had left behind and chose not to intervene because he had already secured Eden's protection.
• Moros lowered the grade of the Vampire Transformation Ritual he planned to provide after realizing the leaders would be wary of becoming vampires under his control.

Moros used the first Vampire Transformation Ritual to secure the cooperation and resources of Fuyuan City's elites, then acquired six old 155MM Howitzers for his Undead Legion to test. The chapter ended with the author announcing the book’s premium release and update schedule.
