Chapter Summaries

Allen met with the North God Second, who tested his judgment of Pax and then agreed to stop supporting Shagal’s assassination attempt. Allen asked about Orsted’s strength and concluded that his best chance was to make Orsted willing to talk; the North God Third then suggested Orsted wanted to become a hero and Savior.

• The North God Second urged Allen to stay in the Dragon King Kingdom and observe Pax, while Allen argued that the Second was too impatient to judge either Pax or the kingdom.
• The North God Second threw a fork at Allen, who caught it beside Pax; Pax bowed to the Second and vowed to prove Allen’s judgment right over the coming years.
• The North God Second declared the assassination of Allen complete and failed, then accepted Allen’s claim that he had killed Orsted and let him go after Shagal without objection.
• The North God Second tried to compensate Allen by offering him the titles of North Emperor, North God Fourth, and North God Second, but Allen rejected the offers and asked whether the Second was a Human God Apostle.
• Allen asked whether he could defeat Orsted, and the North God Second described Orsted’s overwhelming pressure, precise use of force, and savage Sword of Light.
• Allen reasoned that Orsted was conserving power and that his own best chance was to secure a conversation; the North God Third guessed that Orsted wanted to become a hero and the Savior, leaving Allen and the Second staring at him.

North God Second warned Allen that Orsted was far beyond his reach and led him away to demonstrate the true Absolute Slash. Allen watched North Two unleash the devastating technique and learned how he had transformed Avalanche Drop into its source.

• North God Second cautioned Allen against challenging Orsted and asked whether he had seen Alexander's Absolute Slash.
• North Two led Allen and the others into the hills, where Allen carried Aisha and explained that he expected a demonstration.
• North Two revealed that his father had developed Absolute Slash and that he had used the technique to slay the Dragon King.
• Allen guessed that North Two wanted to take him as a disciple, then asked him to demonstrate Absolute Slash.
• North Two reversed Avalanche Drop and accumulated its Battle Aura within his body before unleashing 1,732 strikes at once.
• North Two's Absolute Slash destroyed the hilltop and carved away the hillside for two kilometers in front of him.

After North God Second demonstrated Absolute Slash and explained his reasons for abandoning the King Dragon Sword, Allen used the sword’s Gravity Magic to imitate the technique. His uncontrolled release caused a massive earthquake and carved a deep valley into the mountainside, leaving North God Second apparently destroyed.

• North God Second demonstrated Absolute Slash, and Allen praised the technique while declining North Three’s offer to become his disciple because he already had a master.
• North God Second explained to Alexander that he had given up the King Dragon Sword because he feared relying on it, and said the Qiba Faction came from North God the First’s teachings.
• Alexander described how he used the King Dragon Sword’s Gravity Magic to make Absolute Slash faster, and Allen asked to try the technique himself.
• Allen took the King Dragon Sword, discovered that he could control its Gravity Magic precisely, and used Flow Arcana to trap Avalanche Drops inside his body.
• Allen endured severe pain as he accumulated more than three thousand Avalanche Drops, then released them with a wild swing that pulverized North God Second and shook the Dragon King Kingdom.
• The adventurers reached the epicenter and found that Allen’s attack had gouged a deep pit into the mountainside, forming a vast valley.

Allen survived a devastating sparring strike with North God Second, while rumors of his strength spread among the adventurers. In the Dragon King Kingdom’s palace, King Leonardo confronted Shagal over failed plots and enlisted Millish High Priests to kill Allen.

• Allen’s strike carved a valley, but he emerged unharmed; North God Second scolded him, checked for injuries, and failed to persuade him to become his disciple.

• King Leonardo and Shagal learned that North God Second had failed to kill Allen and that an attempt on Pax had also failed.
• Leonardo accused Shagal of being willing to sacrifice him for the Dragon King Kingdom’s future, and Shagal admitted he had seen no other choice.
• Leonardo revealed four Millish High Priests and asked them to kill Allen Boreas Greyrat.

Leonardo, Shagal, and a Millish High Priest devised a trap to kill Allen by luring him to the royal palace and combining Randolph’s Void Eye with remote magic scrolls. Shagal sent Allen and Pax an invitation, while Allen’s evening with the North God dojo ended with an unexpected display at a restaurant.

• The Millish High Priest revealed a plan to amplify Randolph’s Void Eye, suppress magic inside a barrier, and unleash a hidden legion-scale spell when Allen entered the trap.
• Leonardo agreed to use himself and the palace as bait, and Shagal arranged an urgent dinner invitation for Allen and Pax Shirone.
• In the carriage, Randolph said he would help Shagal but admitted he would regret Pax’s death; Shagal said the palace’s destruction was worthwhile if the plan killed Allen, and useful for buying time if it failed.
• At a restaurant near the North God Style Main Dojo, Allen covered Aisha’s eyes as lightly dressed attendants served food in front of them.

Allen, Aisha, and Pax went to the Dragon King Kingdom’s palace for a banquet with King Leonardo, where Allen exposed the deadly ambush and killed Leonardo. The palace’s magic power then erupted in a brilliant explosion, engulfing them.

• At a restaurant, Aisha rebuffed the girls serving Allen, and the Northern King delivered Leonardo’s invitation to a dinner banquet.
• Allen accepted the invitation and brought Aisha and Pax to the Dragon King Kingdom’s palace, while North God Second was left behind.

• Leonardo invited Allen to play chess, but Allen sliced him in two, revealing an unfamiliar face beneath his appearance.
• The magic power in the palace surged and collapsed, engulfing Allen, Aisha, and Pax in a blast that lit the night like a sun.

Leonardo and the High Priests lured Allen Boreas Greyrat into a palace ambush, then detonated the palace while believing he had been killed. When the ruins were cleared, Allen was unharmed and finishing a chess game with his sister.

• Leonardo and the High Priests watched Allen enter the palace while Randolph raised a Void Barrier that stopped the mana needed to trigger the explosives.
• Allen defeated the first ambush and sat down to play chess in the throne room as Leonardo’s disguise ring broke.
• The High Priest’s Amplifying Demon Eye failed, the Void Barrier collapsed, and the explosives destroyed the palace in a massive blast.
• Leonardo and the High Priest waited for confirmation of Allen’s death while Shagal and Randolph dealt with the aftermath.
• Leonardo ordered guards to search the ruins, where they found Allen unharmed on the throne, declaring checkmate to his sister.

• Allen beat Aisha at chess while Leonardo and the High Priests watched, then killed Leonardo when he tried to flee and defeated the priests who attacked him.
• Allen questioned the surviving High Priest about the Man-God’s plans, killed him when he revealed nothing, and persuaded the Dragon King Kingdom’s soldiers to lead him to Shagal.
• Allen encountered North God Second and North God Third fighting the fires, then followed Shagal to Dictor’s estate, where Pax reunited with her.
• Shagal offered to let Pax compete for the throne openly and promised not to assassinate him, explaining that the kingdom needed time to recover.

• Allen wished Pax and Dictor a son, prompting Pax to wonder how Allen had guessed his plans for protecting his bloodline.

After Allen settled the political crisis in the Dragon King Kingdom, he remained wary that the Man-God’s plans were not finished and decided to inspect the Millish Temple in Viborg before leaving. The chapter ended with Sylphy beside Hilda as an unknown carriage approached Dragon King City.

• Shagal and Randolph left after Shagal accepted Pax’s rise as the best outcome, while Allen questioned them about the Man-God and the Millish faction.
• Pax took the Eighteenth Princess to help fight the fire, while Allen and Aisha returned to the inn and discussed their family bond and Allen’s changed appearance.

• Allen used the Positioning System to watch Sylphy sleeping beside Hilda, who had read his letter warning that he was a reincarnated Hero with a changed appearance.
• A carriage traveling outside Dragon King City approached as its passenger noticed the smoke still hanging over Viborg.

Allen and Aisha visited Viborg’s Millish Temple after the king’s assassination, where they learned the Cardinal Faction controlled the temple and had been monitoring Bihyde Wolvoss. The chapter ended with Archbishop Azalbischa recognizing Allen as the Child of Salvation and introducing herself.

• Allen and Aisha heard rumors blaming the Millish Holy Empire for the king’s assassination while Splendor of the Secret Sword members spread support for Pax and the Eighteenth Princess.
• Allen told a Splendor of the Secret Sword member to help Pax as he saw fit and said he planned to leave the Dragon King Kingdom that afternoon.
• Allen and Aisha entered Viborg’s Millish Temple and spoke with an elderly priest who said the Cardinal Faction did not believe the rumors and had monitored Bihyde Wolvoss there.
• Aisha recognized the elderly priest as Archbishop Azalbischa, who identified Allen as the Child of Salvation and introduced herself as the Cardinal Faction’s current Archbishop.

Allen met Archbishop Azalbischa, a Divine Child who could transfer herself to places she had visited, and learned she knew HITOGAMI was an outsider. After she gave him a feather necklace, Darius arrived and declared Allen should return to Asura and claim the throne, but Allen killed him before Orsted emerged from Darius’s second carriage and attacked Allen with the Divine Blade.

• Allen confronted Archbishop Azalbischa, who revealed her teleportation ability and discussed the Human God and the God of Destruction with him.

• Darius arrived and urged Allen to return to Asura, claiming he had prepared for Allen to take the throne and build an empire together.
• Allen cut off Darius’s head, killing him as the third Human God Apostle, while Darius wondered why events differed from what his god had promised.
• Orsted emerged from Darius’s second carriage and thrust the Divine Blade at Allen, intent on killing him in one strike.

Orsted attacked Allen, believing him to be a Human God Apostle, and Allen realized the Human God had manipulated the rumors to turn them against each other. Aisha appeared in silver Magic Armor to save Allen, but Orsted’s Divine Blade pierced her, and as she crumbled to ash, she urged Allen to draw his sword.

• Orsted rushed at Allen with the Divine Blade, and Allen blasted Aisha away while striking back with wind and Dragon Saint Battle Qi.

• Aisha crumbled into ash before Allen and told him, “Draw your sword, Brother.”

Aisha spent years preparing revenge against Orsted, then worked with Rudy to research Time Magic and find a way to save Allen. She returned to Boreas Manor with a plan to retrieve Allen from his grave, but the story left her poised to dig him up.

• Aisha resolved to avenge Allen and, after four years of preparation, fought Orsted with Rudy, but Orsted defeated them and spared their lives in exchange for Rudy working for him.

• Rudy and Aisha researched Time Magic, discovered that its use triggered lethal Mana Turbulence, and found a way to send the automaton Melna through time.

• Aisha returned to Ars and Boreas Manor, intending to pay her respects to Allen and dig him out of his grave.

Allen used the Divine Jade’s power to fight Orsted and severed both of his hands before the power ran out. Aisha absorbed her own corpse and returned to adulthood, then reunited with Allen as Orsted woke and greeted them by name.

• Allen remembered Aisha’s promise to live, regained his composure, and took the Divine Blade as the Divine Jade’s power flooded into him.
• Allen and Orsted exchanged attacks, with Allen using the Divine Blade and Orsted countering with Dragon Saint Battle Qi, healing magic, and Front Dragon Gates.

• Orsted woke and greeted Aisha and Allen by name.

Rudy woke in the Notos residence after dreaming through years of a life in which Allen died, then realized he had returned to the time when Allen’s letter had brought attention to the Boreas family. He recorded his and Orsted’s theories about Time Magic and worldlines, ending with the possibility that Orsted could burn the Divine Jade to help Aisha use Time Magic and restore the worldline.

• Rudy woke hungover beside Lun’er Ailasi, mistook her for Sarah, and angered her by getting her name wrong.
• Rudy’s memories of the dream returned, including Allen’s death and the years he had spent with Sarah and his family.
• Rudy studied Allen’s letter and tried to dismiss the dream, but Sarah’s image lingered in his mind.

• Rudy recorded Orsted’s claim that burning the Divine Jade and giving his power and life force to Aisha during her use of Time Magic might restore the desired worldline.

Rudy turned his dream of Orsted and the worldlines into a theory that the Creator God preserved the future as memories in dreams. Most people forgot their dreams, but Hilda remembered Allen's death and began to suspect the Reincarnation Art was involved.

• Rudy recorded a Worldline Fusion Theory in which the Creator God's lingering will turned the overwritten future into dreams, and people with stronger Destiny Power remembered them more clearly.

• Sylphy woke from a dream of Allen's death but quickly forgot most of it, while Lokkishi and Isolte also lost their memories of dying without Allen.
• Lokkishi and Isolte resumed discussing how to share time with Allen, then heard Paul with Lilia next door, prompting Lokkishi to blast the inn's windows with Water Attack Magic.
• Eris woke from a forgotten dream, kicked a hole in the Sword God Dojo's ceiling, shouted that she would kill Orsted, and challenged Nina to fight again.
• Hilda woke remembering her dream of Allen's death and her own lonely old age, then looked at Allen's letter and wondered about the Reincarnation Art.

Allen learned why Aisha and Orsted had kept the plan from him and why Orsted had once tried to kill him, then realized the world lines had merged into a single path toward a happy ending. Orsted warned that the Human God remained a threat, and Allen proposed changing clothes before they discussed it further.

• Aisha explained that hiding the plan from Allen had prevented the Creator God's rules from erasing her after her Time Magic succeeded.
• Orsted said he had tried to kill Allen because he mistook him for a threat, relying on past cycles and incomplete information.
• Orsted described how Rudeus had earned his trust and become his companion.
• Allen concluded that the world lines had narrowed to the Human God Allen line and a true-ending line, while wondering who had guided events behind the scenes.
• Orsted raised the remaining threat of the Human God, and Allen suggested they find clothes before talking further.

Allen, Aisha, and Orsted tried to find clothes for Aisha after she arrived from the future, but Orsted’s curse frightened a shopkeeper and forced them to enter the store. Allen helped Aisha choose an Asura-style dress, and she teased him about accurately judging its fit through sensory flow.

• Aisha clung to Allen and told him she had no clothes, while Allen recalled that she had risked her life to save him.

• Aisha pulled Allen toward the underwear section after they chose their outerwear.
• Orsted waited outside the shop, watched the clouds reveal the sun, and wondered what the sun of the World of Nothingness would look like.

Allen accompanied Aisha while she shopped, noticing a flash of anger beneath her cheerful manner and later discovering that Rudy had designed the store’s provocative specialty outfits. When Aisha asked him to help with her clothes, she pulled him into the changing booth and revealed herself in underwear, leaving their interaction at an intimate turning point.

• Allen refused Aisha’s invitation to try on underwear with her, and Aisha briefly showed anger over how long she had waited while Orsted had not.
• Aisha entered the changing booth, while Allen wondered whether he had been too impatient and regretted upsetting her.
• Allen found a sales tag explaining the Seven Stars Trading Company’s specialty fashion scheme and recognized Rudy’s Moonlight Knight alias as its designer.
