• Allen hid in an S-rank labyrinth after splitting up from Lokkishi and the others, then confirmed they had reunited with Brother Paul before traveling to the Sanakia Kingdom’s capital.
• At the Adventurer’s Guild, A-rank adventurers Brave Sharp Sword tried to recruit two members of Arrow of Wind and mocked them for losing their captain.
• The Brave Sharp Sword leader recognized Allen’s secret sword and the King Dragon Sword carried by Allen’s companion, then apologized and tried to leave.
• Allen asked the adventurer whether he had heard of the Man-God, then dismissed him and entered the guild with the two adventurers he had rescued.
• The black-haired adventurer mistook Aisha for Allen’s daughter, and Allen and Aisha gave conflicting explanations of their relationship.

Allen learned that Dragon King Kingdom First Prince Karkland von Ginggulduragon was mobilizing the vassal states for war against Asura and that the Death God Randolph was assassinating political opponents. He decided to openly oppose the Human God’s plans by summoning Splendor of the Secret Sword to the Dragon King Kingdom’s capital.

• Allen recognized Dragon Meat Seven Star Roast as an Asura dish and learned that the Sailornt Trading Company had spread it to Sanakia.
• Allen discovered that the guild attendant Tirifa had followed him to Sanakia and learned that Karkland von Ginggulduragon was giving a seven-day mobilization speech.
• Tirifa revealed that Randolph had been recruited to assassinate opponents of Karkland and Shagaru Gargantus, while Karkland publicly blamed Asura and called for resistance.

• Allen asked Tirifa to send an encrypted summons to Splendor of the Secret Sword, calling its members to meet him in the Dragon King Kingdom’s capital.

Allen tested a short-haired adventurer who had been influenced by the Human God, then warned her not to trust the god or approach his group again. He recognized that the Human God was struggling to predict events around Aisha and left the adventurer with advice about choosing a safer team.

• Allen and his companions disliked the Adventurer's Guild's Dragon Meat Seven Star Roast, so he invited them to order other dishes and promised to cook later.
• A short-haired adventurer followed Allen to the restroom, where he confronted her about the Human God and confirmed she was an ordinary passerby influenced by His dreams.
• The adventurer said the Human God had told her to seek Allen's help in the labyrinth and later to grow closer to him by approaching Aisha.
• Allen reasoned that Aisha's hidden plans and Destiny Power had disrupted the Human God's predictions, while His reliance on Future Sight made Him unable to trace changing events logically.
• Allen told the adventurer that the Human God was untrustworthy, warned her to stay away from his group, and advised her to choose a better-balanced adventurer team.

Allen used his positioning magic to observe Hilda and Sylphy reading his letter, then opened another window toward Lokkishi and her companions. The chapter ended with Paul reuniting with Lilia, Zenith, and Norn, while Talhand explained that their journey had been delayed by armies facing off.

• Allen concluded that someone had deliberately brought him to the Adventurer's Guild to witness the First Prince's speech and used positioning magic to watch Hilda and Sylphy at Boreas Manor.
• Hilda teased Sylphy about Allen's affectionate letter, and both women discussed their worries about Allen's changed appearance and his references to reincarnation and the Man-God.
• Lokkishi, Eris, and Melna waited at the royal palace while Lilia, Zenith, and Norn prepared to meet Paul.

Allen watched the Dragon King Kingdom’s mobilization speech and recognized Pax among the prisoners brought before Prince Karkland. Meanwhile, Geese met the Human God in a featureless white world, where the god appeared unusually grave.

• Allen learned that Paul had joined Lokkishi and the others, but he still could not find any sign of Geese.
• A mobilization whistle summoned soldiers and Prince Karkland to the plaza, where they brought chained prisoners, including Pax.
• Geese watched the speech from a brothel window and persuaded the woman there to let him stay until it ended.
• Geese closed his eyes and awoke in a boundless white world, where he greeted the Human God.
• Geese noticed that the Human God was expressionless and grave rather than smiling as usual.

Geese learned that the Man-God’s plans to manipulate Allen Boreas Greyrat had repeatedly failed, then proceeded with the plan surrounding Karkland’s speech. As Karkland incited Sanakia’s citizens to fight Asura, Allen struck him down with a sword aura before he could finish declaring war.

• The Man-God broke down over his failed plans to control Allen, then warned Geese that Allen would kill him if they met.
• Geese told the Man-God that Pax had arranged the event and offered to monitor Allen, but the Man-God refused and sent him back to his task.

• As Karkland began declaring war on Asura, Allen fired a sword aura across the square and blew apart Karkland’s head.

Allen killed the First Prince from afar, then rescued Pax Shirone from pursuing soldiers and offered him his hand. As Pax accepted, blue liquid erupted from his face and swallowed Allen whole.

• Allen used Wind Pierces to kill the First Prince and collapse the platform, giving Pax a chance to escape.
• Geese watched Allen pursue Pax and hoped the Man-God’s plan would succeed.

• Pax declared that he represented no one but understood what people truly wanted, and he accepted Allen’s hand.
• Blue liquid burst from Pax’s face and formed a huge mouth that swallowed Allen.

Bita, a slimefolk with the God Child power of Dreamweaving, recounted how the Man-God guided him from childhood and arranged for him to infiltrate Allen Boreas Greyrat. After parasitizing Pax and escaping the Hell labyrinth, Bita entered Allen’s ear and trapped him in a dream, beginning his attempt to take over Allen’s body.

• A dragon scientist’s experiments gave one slime intelligence, and it shared that intelligence with its colony, creating the slimefolk.
• The Man-God taught Bita to use Dreamweaving, and Bita took over a Demon King before Laxus killed him and began hunting him.
• Bita survived Laxus’s pursuit and hid in the Hell labyrinth until the Man-God asked him to infiltrate a target.
• Geese led Bita out of the labyrinth and instructed him to parasitize Pax while waiting for an opportunity to approach Allen Boreas Greyrat.
• After the Man-God told him to wake, Bita used Dreamweaving to take over Pax, parasitized Allen, and drew Allen into a carefully built dream.

Pax's Dreamweaving trapped Allen in a vision of Hilda and Philip rejecting him, but Allen broke free and confronted the truth behind his dream. He opened the Single Observation Room and saw another version of himself threatened by a chaotic, dark entity before waking.

• Pax's slime used Dreamweaving on Allen, trapping him in a tribunal vision where the adjudicator accused him of stealing Allen Boreas Greyrat's identity.
• Hilda begged the tribunal to release Allen, but Allen killed the adjudicator and left without looking back when Hilda called his name.
• Allen awoke in the Allen Orphanage corridor and restrained Pluto Bita while Little Allen explained that Bita's Dreamweaving had combined with Zenith's Extrasensory ability.
• Allen and Little Allen returned to the yellow-painted Single Observation Room door, where Allen opened it despite its resistance.
• Allen saw another version of himself reading on the bed as a chaotic black entity tried to swallow his legs, then woke from the illusion.

Allen escaped Bita’s dream illusion and killed it after allowing events to unfold around the Water Tower. Geese abandoned the Man-God’s plan to capture Allen and watched as Allen reunited with Aisha, Pax, and the others.

• Geese watched Allen behead the soldiers around Pax, then saw Bita enter Allen and assumed the dream illusion had trapped him.
• Geese repeatedly hesitated to approach Allen while Pax carried him to the Water Tower and defended him from the guards.
• Aisha and the others reached the Water Tower and joined Pax as Geese watched from the theater roof.
• Allen woke, pulled Bita out of his body, and killed it as Geese realized he had nearly made a fatal mistake.
• Allen reassured Aisha and the others, picked up Bita’s corpse, and said one of his three targets had escaped.

Allen discussed his plans and the uncertain future with Aisha, reassuring her that his Insight Dream showed a beautiful future. The Human God then abandoned Geese after declaring he would set another death trap for Allen, and Geese promptly lost the money he had been given at a casino.

• Allen reviewed his successes and failure from the Bita incident, and Aisha explained why the Human God wanted to take over Allen's body.
• Allen questioned whether Aisha's future plan remained reliable, then inferred that her Time Magic might take effect in the future and cause her hesitation.
• Aisha panicked when Allen described efforts that could lead someone toward a foretold death, but Allen reassured her that his Insight Dream showed a beautiful future.

• Geese went to a nearby casino and lost the money the Human God had given him.

• Allen told Aisha that knowing the future and acting on it helped create that future, but agreed to stop when she said he was a miracle-worker.
• Allen considered his bond with Human God Allen and the possibility that a God-tier transformation of the Cycle Secret Art could help him.

• Allen joined Pax, who praised their supposedly shared ideals and asked him to help build a prosperous Shirone.
• Pax criticized the Dragon King Kingdom's dependence on war and proposed dividing royal power among competing institutions; Allen called the idea separation of powers.

Allen and his companions entered Hyde City, where the Dragon King Kingdom’s soldiers recognized him as the man who had killed both an Asuran prince and the kingdom’s First Prince. He declared that he had come as an adventurer, then revealed that more than a hundred members of Splendor of the Secret Sword were waiting for him at the Adventurer’s Guild.

• Pax pondered Allen’s idea of the separation of powers as the group approached Hyde City.
• The city guards stopped Allen, who identified himself and reminded them that he had killed Asura’s Second Prince and the Dragon King Kingdom’s First Prince.

At a gathering in the Adventurer’s Guild, Pax defended Allen’s worth and revealed that he wanted Allen’s help rescuing Nidict Kingdurgon from the Dragon King Kingdom. Randolph Marian, the notorious deputy commander of the Black Dragon Knight Order, arrived and served Allen food, which Allen declared awful.

• Randolph Marian entered with black-armored knights, introduced himself as a half-breed and the Death God, and offered Allen his cooking.
• Allen tasted Randolph’s food and said that it tasted awful.

Allen criticized Randolph Marian’s dragon-meat dishes, then helped him realize that Pax genuinely appreciated his cooking. Randolph agreed to eat with Pax again and turned to discuss business with Allen, who asked how Randolph planned to kill him.

• Allen explained how Randolph should prepare dragon meat, and Randolph made a new dish for Pax to taste.
• Pax praised the first dish, while Aisha complained that it was too oily; Allen then had Pax taste Randolph’s original dish as well.
• Allen told Randolph that his cooking did not need to please everyone and compared finding a food-loving patron to choosing a target for a customized killing.
• Randolph realized that Pax was the person who truly appreciated his cooking, and he and Pax agreed to share another meal the next day.
• Allen and Randolph prepared to discuss serious business, and Allen asked whether Randolph had decided how to kill him.

Allen confronted Randolph and the Dragon King Kingdom’s forces, exposing Randolph’s defenses and demonstrating that he could defeat them. After Randolph and Shagal agreed to surrender, Allen offered Pax two far-reaching paths to power, leaving Pax stunned.

• Randolph admitted he had no plan to kill Allen, and Allen demonstrated Wind Pierce before revealing Randolph’s Void Eye.
• Allen used Sky-Slicing Slash to sever sixteen North Kings’ blades, then wounded Randolph with the Sword of Light and blasted apart the guild entrance with Wind Pierce.
• General Shagal entered after his protective Magic Tool broke, and Randolph advised him to surrender because they would likely all die if they fought Allen.
• Shagal tried to recruit Allen to the Dragon King Kingdom, but Allen refused and turned the discussion to Pax’s plans.
• Allen offered to help Pax return to Shilong and claim the throne, or to become king of the Dragon King Kingdom and reform it, leaving Pax bewildered.

Allen rejected Shagal’s terms and outlined how Pax could eventually take the Dragon King Kingdom’s throne, while Shagal and Randolph secretly planned to kill Pax. Allen explained that the king’s death could create an opening for Pax, but Shagal needed to survive so the kingdom’s factions would remain manageable.

• Allen proposed that Pax marry the Eighteenth Princess and become regent before eventually taking the throne, and Shagal left after arranging a future discussion in Viborg.
• Outside the Adventurer’s Guild, Shagal told Randolph that Allen had spared him and reasoned that Allen favored Pax as a controllable ruler.
• Shagal ordered Randolph to kill Pax, arguing that Pax’s death would preserve Jinggedulagong’s influence and leave the Eighteenth Princess as Allen’s only viable political piece.
• Randolph admitted that Allen would be difficult to overcome and that killing Pax would also be challenging because Allen valued him.
• After Shagal and Randolph departed, Allen told Pax that the king would need to die to throw the kingdom into chaos, but Shagal had to live so Pax could gradually consolidate power.

Allen rejected Shagal’s attempt to negotiate and proposed making Pax the Dragon King Kingdom’s ruler, while Shagal and Randolph left to consider their options. Allen later explained that Pax needed time to build power and that Shagal had to survive for the kingdom’s factions to remain manageable.

• Allen proposed that Pax marry the Eighteenth Princess and eventually take the throne, but Shagal left without accepting his terms.

During a ten-day magical rain, Allen and Aisha discussed the future Aisha remembered and their complicated family roles while guarding against an attack on Pax. After the rain stopped, Allen’s party traveled to Viborg, where a fleeing princess recognized him and escaped; they arrived at the North God Style Main Dojo.
