Chapter Summaries

Ian and his clones reviewed their research into a Supreme Magical Body and the Grand Annihilation Blast, discovering that the Mage Race was the Omniverse’s most magically gifted species and deciding to avoid its bloodline’s dangerous influence. After Ian guided Clone No. 2 toward a new way to study the Authority of Destruction, Clone No. 3 prepared to give his report.

• Clone No. 1 reported that his Supreme Magical Body research had passed the halfway point using Kaguya Otsutsuki’s bloodline, but progress had stalled without a true Otsutsuki source.
• Ian searched the Akashic Records and discovered that the ancient Mage Race had become the Omniverse’s race with the highest magical talent.
• Ian and Clone No. 1 decided to study the Mage Race’s bloodline while severing its karmic ties, creating a unique bloodline and removing their own remaining Mage Race traces.
• Clone No. 2 demonstrated his Grand Annihilation Blast, which had let him touch the edge of the Authority of Destruction, but admitted its structure remained unstable because of Yin–Yang Release.
• Ian advised Clone No. 2 to study the connection between Authority and spells, prompting him to pursue a forbidden destruction spell as a route to understanding the Authority of Destruction.
• Clone No. 2 rushed back to his laboratory, and Clone No. 3 stepped forward to present his report.

Ian reviewed his clones’ breakthroughs adapting the Shinobi world’s ocular powers, chakra modes, Tailed Beasts, and Natural Energy for the Arcane Empire. Their discoveries promised new military capabilities and progress toward Ian’s transformation into a high-dimensional being, while the chapter ended with confirmation that the Empire could produce Natural Energy using its own living planets.

• Clone No. 3 reported that he had converted the Sharingan and Byakugan into spells and Battle Aura techniques, improved the Wizard’s Eye surveillance system by thirty-five percent, and gathered useful data on Tsukuyomi, resurrection, and space-time manipulation.
• Clone No. 4 revealed Advanced Battle Aura, a warrior transformation designed for god-slaying, and asked for a living god to use as a test subject; Ian said they might capture one after resolving their current trouble.
• Clone No. 5 reported that Izanagi could distort reality but carried severe costs and limitations at higher tiers, though combining it with Word Soul Magic had brought research close to the threshold of the laws.
• Clone No. 8 presented a small creature made of pure magical energy, marking progress toward creating magical beings and potentially a Supreme Magical Body; he had also begun investigating how to weaponize them.
• Clone No. 9 explained that Natural Energy arose from the interaction of a planet’s will and living beings, and reported successfully extracting it from a miniature living planet, showing that the Empire could produce and stockpile it itself.

Clone No. 10 transformed the Divine Tree to produce several kinds of magical fruit, while Ian considered titles for the Empire’s Arcanists and checked on the planet’s gradual assimilation. After helping Tsunade exploit Felix Felicis at a casino, Ian teleported to meet the newly reborn Itachi Uchiha.

• Clone No. 10 reported that the rewritten Divine Tree could produce Mana Fruits, Soul Fruits, and other energy fruits, but had not yet proven it could drain a plane or create an Omniscience Fruit.
• Clone No. 11 investigated Karma and searched parallel timelines for the Shell organization, while Clone No. 12 prepared to capture the entity sustaining Hidan’s immortality.
• Ian rejected several proposed rank-title systems, asked Morgana to generate alternatives, and left the naming problem unresolved.
• Ian inspected the Empire’s gradual cultural integration of the planet, then found Tsunade losing at a Sunagakure casino despite taking Felix Felicis.
• Tsunade drank more Felix Felicis, enjoyed brief streaks of extraordinary luck, and left the casino to learn Potion Alchemy from Ian’s library.
• Ian teleported to a forest clearing, where he met the newly reborn Itachi Uchiha.

Itachi reflected on the harm he had caused Sasuke and considered the possibility of reuniting with his family after learning that healing and resurrection might be possible. Ian offered him the position of deputy commander of a new intelligence and assassination unit, and Itachi asked why Ian had chosen him.

• Itachi told Ian that his actions and the Shinobi World's system had been wrong.
• Ian showed Itachi Sasuke's psychological assessment, and Itachi realized how much damage he had caused his younger brother.
• Ian told Itachi that he and Sasuke could heal through family therapy and that their parents might be resurrected.
• Ian offered Itachi the role of deputy commander of the Shadow Squad, a unit for intelligence gathering, infiltration, espionage, and assassination.
• Itachi learned that the Ghost Squad's members surrendered control of their souls to Ian and asked why Ian had chosen him over Madara Uchiha or the First or Second Hokage.

Ian recruited Itachi Uchiha as deputy commander of the Shadow Squad, binding him to a two-thousand-year contract and preparing to train him for covert missions. He then arranged for Tsunade to join his planned livestreamed campaign against the Otsutsuki Clan, which he intended to use to display the empire’s power to the Shinobi World.

• Ian judged Madara Uchiha, Shimura Danzō, and Senju Hashirama unsuitable for his purposes, then persuaded Itachi Uchiha to serve as deputy commander of the Shadow Squad.
• Itachi agreed to a temporary two-thousand-year contract, signed it in blood, and formed a Soul Link with Ian.
• Ian explained that the Shadow Guard would train elites for espionage across the universe, and Itachi chose the contract partly to secure Sasuke Uchiha and the Uchiha Clan’s future.
• After Ian left, Itachi watched Sasuke train and decided to speak openly with his younger brother.
• Ian returned to his underground laboratory and found Tsunade furious after Severus Snape had taught her potion-making in the Virtual Stealth Network.
• Ian revealed his plan to livestream a war against the Otsutsuki Clan, and Tsunade agreed to watch.

Ian and Tsunade led five warships to attack the Ōtsutsuki Clan’s headquarters while Ian livestreamed the expedition to the Empire’s citizens. After reaching the clan’s home system and withstanding an enormous attack, they learned how its Imperial Family, nobles, and branch family were organized, just as an Ōtsutsuki appeared to face the fleet alone.

• Ian showed Tsunade five Desert Mark III-class warships and explained that the Floating City had been destroyed when he encountered a bizarre creature.
• Ian and Tsunade boarded the ships, and Ian ordered a livestream before setting course to strike the Ōtsutsuki Clan’s headquarters.
• Ian’s fleet crossed hundreds of thousands of light-years and arrived at the Ōtsutsuki home system, where he warned viewers against arrogance.
• An Ōtsutsuki attacked the fleet with a gigantic hand, but the ships’ energy shields withstood the blow.
• A Prophet Model Golem reported the roles of the Imperial Family, nobles, and branch family, and Tsunade asked about the lone Ōtsutsuki confronting the fleet.

Ian’s fleet destroyed the Ōtsutsuki divine general Nishiki with an Eighth Tier physical attack, prompting the clan’s leaders to convene an emergency meeting. Ryushiki’s prophetic eyes foresaw the downfall or capture of Shibai, leaving the Ōtsutsuki Clan in silence and dread.

• Ian explained that the Ōtsutsuki Clan concentrated power in individuals and ordered the fleet to attack the divine general blocking its way.
• The Thunder Main Cannon failed because the Ōtsutsuki was immune to energy attacks, so Ian ordered an Eighth Tier Shockwave Main Cannon strike.
• The Shockwave Main Cannon used causal locking to hit Nishiki, annihilating his body and soul.
• The Ōtsutsuki Clan’s senior members gathered for an emergency meeting and argued over who had attacked them.
• The Left Guardian silenced the gathering, while the Right Guardian warned that the enemy’s attack had reached Shibai’s dimensional tier.
• Ryushiki foresaw the clan’s end and said Shibai faced downfall or capture.

The Left Guardian mobilized the Ōtsutsuki Clan and its conquered civilizations while Ian’s Golem forces overwhelmed them with tailored counters. As the battlefield fell under the Bloodline Tactic, an extremely powerful presence began to awaken, leaving one final fight ahead.

• The Left Guardian declared a state of emergency, ordered the clan and its conquered civilizations to gather, and authorized Ryushiki to seek survival by any means; she captured five would-be escapees for him to absorb.
• Ian sent a hundred thousand Golems to intercept the arriving Ōtsutsuki, then deployed remotely controlled fighters against weaker clan members and their cannon fodder.
• After detecting a Prophet-level divination fluctuation, Ian sent Shadow Golems to find and capture its source, while preparing shields against an Eighth Tier weapon attack from the Imperial Family Planet.
• Ian shielded the five spacecraft from the Left Guardian’s attack, then ordered the Golem Legion to release a red mist that incapacitated the Ōtsutsuki by overwhelming their minds and souls.
• Ian explained the mist’s effect to Tsunade and sensed a powerful existence beginning to awaken, warning that one final battle remained.

Ian fought Shibai in a stable dimension, analyzing the power behind his Divine Arts while countering his attacks. Ian realized that Cosmic Will amplified Shibai’s techniques, and the battle continued with Shibai’s chakra beasts suppressed by Ian’s attack.

• Ian admitted that he had attacked the Otsutsuki Clan, and he and Shibai entered a distant dimension to fight without destroying the clan’s star system.
• Shibai attacked with blue flames and lightning, but Ian blocked the flames and swapped their positions so Shibai was struck by his own lightning before regenerating.
• Ian disrupted Shibai’s ability to foresee the future and redirected his Dimension Annihilation spheres back at him.
• Shibai turned nearby stars into bombs and used the Death Path, but Ian survived both attacks and erased the consciousness Shibai sent into the past, injuring his soul.
• Shibai summoned ten Eighth-Tier chakra beasts, but Ian overwhelmed them and realized that Cosmic Will amplified Shibai’s Divine Arts.

Ian fought Shibai, developed Will Entanglement by infusing spells with his willpower, and sealed the exhausted god after testing the universe’s limit. He returned to the Empire, where he learned the war’s livestream was boosting his support and a captured Ryushiki had unique Divination Eyes, then reassured Tsunade that greater powers might one day threaten him too.

• Shibai used Divine Arts to attack Ian with cosmic gravity and summoned countless clones, but Ian countered with empowered chakra clones and defeated his forces.
• Ian endured a beam from three fused Ōtsutsuki, then discovered he could erase them by infusing a Fireball with his willpower.
• Ian developed Will Entanglement, tested it against Shibai, and increased his proficiency until it matched the god’s.
• Ian used his Arcane Spark to cast a Ninth-Tier sealing spell, discovered the Cosmic Will rejected power beyond the universe’s Eighth-Tier limit, and sealed Shibai.
• Ian returned to the Ōtsutsuki imperial planet, learned from Golem AD that his livestream support had risen and that Ryushiki had been captured with unique Divination Eyes, then spoke with Tsunade about the danger of stronger beings.

Ian warned Tsunade that the Ōtsutsuki would threaten the Shinobi World again, then received envoys from three star-spanning clans and demanded their submission. After the Sage Clan and Chakra Clan envoys departed, Ian ordered the Empire to prepare to conquer the Machine Clan and capture an Undying God.

• Ian told Tsunade that future Ōtsutsuki attacks would kill Sasuke, strip Naruto of the Nine-Tails, and leave Naruto's son to save the world.
• The Sage Clan, Machine Clan, and Chakra Clan sent Seventh Tier envoys to meet Ian.

• Ian threatened the Machine Clan with annihilation if it refused to surrender its Source Code.
• Ian invited the Sage Clan and Chakra Clan to inspect the Empire before deciding whether to submit or face war.
• Ian ordered Golem AD to prepare for battle and conquer the Machine Clan the next day while capturing an Undying God.

Ian conquered the Machine Clan and enslaved it to strip a universe of resources, then captured the Evil God and returned to the Shinobi World. After a month of work, he used a powerful artifact to locate the Lost Timelines.

• Ian sent a million Arcane War Golems against the Machine Clan and used a data virus to cripple its defenses.
• Ian teleported into the Overclocked Resonance Cannon’s control room, disabled the weapon, and forced Sylvia to surrender the Source Code after three days of fighting.
• Ian ordered the Machine Clan to mine the universe’s valuable resources for six months and used Hidan as a curse medium to locate and capture the Evil God.
• Ian learned that the Evil God’s power came from faith, then returned to the Shinobi World and spent a month building a magical artifact with Morgana.
• Ian powered the gray sphere and searched across parallel timelines until he located the Lost Timelines.

Ian found a weakly shielded stolen timeline, prepared for invasion, and forced his way into the Shinobi World during the Fourth Shinobi World War. He watched Reincarnators Tobias and Michelle battle, leaving Michelle badly outmatched and Ian intrigued by her powers.

• Ian questioned Morgana about the Empire’s timeline research and learned it had shifted toward defensive isolation technology.
• After searching stolen timelines for a week, Ian found a weak barrier, gathered war machines and forbidden weapons, and used his Void laws to break inside.
• Ian arrived in the Shinobi World during the Fourth Shinobi World War and concealed himself near a battle between Tobias and Michelle.
• Tobias used Haki and combat techniques to destroy Michelle’s puppets and overwhelm her, while Michelle survived his punch with Cursed Energy and Reversal Technique.
• Ian observed the fight from hiding and examined the Reincarnators’ mixed power systems with interest.

Tobias overwhelmed Michelle after completing a deadly mission against the Ōtsutsuki and using its reward to strengthen himself, but Ian captured him after scanning his body and discovering a virus altering his DNA. Ian planned to extract information about the Main God Space and make it the Arcane Empire’s next hunting ground.

• Tobias defeated Michelle and explained that he had survived a suicide mission against the Ōtsutsuki to obtain a fate-changing reward.
• Ian secretly scanned Tobias and, with Morgana’s help, identified an unknown virus that was forcibly altering his DNA, possibly the T-virus.
• Tobias sensed a disturbance and searched the battlefield, prompting Ian to reveal himself.
• Ian froze Tobias with overwhelming power and prepared to extract information about the lost timeline and the Main God Space.
• Ian began using a Causal Lock array to break down Tobias’s soul defenses and resolved to send the Main God Space a return gift.

Ian examined Hernandez’s Reincarnation Watch and invaded his Soul Dimension to investigate the Main God’s restriction. Deep within Hernandez’s soul, Ian discovered a mysterious character that he recognized as a possible Origin Rune.

• Ian asked Morgana to scan Hernandez’s Reincarnation Watch, and she found its material virtually indestructible and its technology beyond their understanding.
• Ian forced his way into Hernandez’s Soul Dimension, witnessing the memory of how Hernandez became a Reincarnator before bypassing his castle-like mental defenses.
• Hernandez transformed into a golden armored giant and attacked Ian, but Ian subdued him with soul power and bound him with arcane ropes.
• Ian searched Hernandez’s soul and found a tiny mysterious character embedded deep within its network.
• Ian sensed the character’s ancient power and cried out that it might be a legendary Origin Rune.

Ian discovered an unobservable Rune embedded in Hernandez’s soul and committed Morgana’s processing power to recording it. Meanwhile, Sasha’s team planned to endure three days until powerful Reincarnators returned, believing they could kill Ian.

• Ian identified a character in Hernandez’s soul as a possible Origin Rune, but found that its details vanished from memory whenever he observed it.
• Ian ordered Morgana to devote at least forty percent of her processing power to preserving the Rune, while prioritizing military and warning systems.
• Ian stored Hernandez’s unconscious body and left the battlefield as Morgana began her recording operation.
• Sasha warned Madara Uchiha that Ian could destroy the planet, but Madara dismissed the threat and sent her away.
• Tobias and Michelle told Sasha that powerful Eighth-Tier Reincarnators were returning from the Otsutsuki battlefield and that the team had to survive for three days.

Tobias, Sasha, and Michelle recruited Set to help carry out their plan against Madara Uchiha, while Set warned that the threat might involve another Main God or an interdimensional civilization. Set agreed to assist Sasha in refining Madara into a Servant, and Tobias left to find Kingsley as Set and Sasha headed back toward the Akatsuki.

• Tobias explained his plan to Sasha and Michelle, and Sasha signed their contract after Michelle showed her the agreement.
• Tobias attacked a hidden Limbo clone near the Allied Shinobi Forces camp, then Sasha asked Set to hear their proposal.
• Set agreed to help on the condition that Sasha marry him, but Tobias negotiated the condition down to one date, which Sasha accepted and signed into a magical contract.
• Set, Tobias, and Michelle considered where the Legendary Arcanist came from, including the possibility of another Main God or a civilization capable of traveling between universes.
• Sasha revealed that she had secretly placed magical marks on Madara and wanted to refine him into a Servant; Set agreed to help her.
• Set sent Tobias to find Kingsley, assigned Michelle to go with him, and used an invisibility spell to return with Sasha to the Akatsuki's side.

Sasha and Set bound Madara as a Servant and led the group in a desperate attempt to escape the Legendary Arcanist’s planetary seal. After using the Titan Weapon to reach a remote planetary fragment and beginning to build an escape ship, they discovered the Legendary Arcanist was already waiting for them.

• Set used a potion to weaken Madara’s resistance, allowing Sasha to complete the Soul Imprint and make him her Servant.
• Set brought Sasha, Madara, Tobias, Michelle, and Kingsley into his magic tower, but Aina reported that a high-dimensional force field prevented teleportation.
• Set proposed using the Titan Weapon to break through the seal, and the group signed a contract agreeing to pay him thirty thousand Samsara Points.
• The group used Titan Power to cross 17.8 light-years and reach a desolate planetary fragment, where Kingsley began building an escape ship.
• Sasha regretted how little she could contribute as Kingsley estimated the ship would take forty-five minutes to build.
• A Legendary Arcanist appeared above the group and revealed that he had been waiting for them.

Ian confronted the Samsara Hall reincarnators who had breached his barrier, revealed his knowledge of their worlds and offered a way to escape Samsara Hall’s control. He left them with a choice: cooperate with his research in exchange for their lives and possible freedom.

• Ian used Mind Reading to discover that the reincarnators understood the different spellcaster paths and suspected he was building an Arcanist Civilization.
• Ian identified Set as the one who broke through his barrier and recognized him as a High Elf from Quel'Thalas.
• Tobias asked whether cooperation would earn their lives, and Ian promised he had not intended to kill them.
• Ian explained that he could preserve fragments of their souls and essence blood, rebuild their bodies, and let their souls grow again to evade Samsara Hall’s seals.
• Ian offered to spare them if they cooperated with his research into their energy system and allowed him to record the seals in their souls.

Ian interrogated the Reincarnators and examined their abilities, seeking knowledge to advance the Empire's magic and technology. He began planning experiments with Sasha and Michelle while learning that Kingsley's Main God-imposed restrictions blocked his technological evolution.

• Ian offered the Reincarnators submission or death, then began analyzing their power systems and questioned Set about the divine weapon fused with his Mage Tower.
• Ian examined Sasha's Fate-universe Magic Circuits, summoned Saber and Madara Uchiha, and asked Saber about King Arthur's gender in his world.
• Ian scanned Saber and Madara, then asked Sasha to demonstrate how to transform a living person into a Servant using a clone as the subject.
• Ian examined Michelle's incomplete Domain, recognized its potential for his Magic Domain research, and promised to train and supply her.
