Chapter Summaries

Green approved Bixier’s plan to recruit Lava Clan members for a dangerous campaign, expecting their sacrifices to strengthen his path to godhood. After learning that three Greater Divine Powers were watching him because of his Complete Dominion Authority, he ordered Leindorf to hurry the construction of the Plane Passage.

• Green approved Bixier’s plan and ordered him to gather information on the target planes while the spellcasters prepared a large-scale Plane Passage.
• Bixier left as a Fanatic Believer, and Green sent the plan’s details to Leindorf, who launched a recruitment drive that drew Lava Clan members from across the continent.
• Two days later, Leindorf delivered a scroll containing information extracted from three spies, and Green learned that Bane, Tiamat, and Bahamut were watching him.
• Green assessed that his Complete Dominion Authority would threaten and suppress other deities’ powers once he ascended to godhood.
• Green told Leindorf to stop investigating the deities and focus on speeding up construction of the Plane Passage.

Green realized that his Dragonification Authority had drawn Bahamut’s attention because it threatened other deities’ followers, and he felt pressure to ascend before they stopped him. Meanwhile, the Lava Clan completed its base and Otherworld Teleportation Array at Aelsmi, then opened a passage to another plane.

• Green concluded that his ability to transform entire races into Dragonkin was why Bahamut was watching him, and feared the deities would block his ascent if he waited too long.
• Leindorf chose Aelsmi as the Lava Clan’s base for travel to other planes, and the Clan began constructing a teleportation array and surrounding fortresses.
• A month later, the Aelsmi Fortress and teleportation array were complete, and Bixier reported that the chosen world was near collapse and ready for their arrival.
• Green ordered Yugulos to confirm the preparations with Leindorf and open the passage.
• Yugulos and the spellcasters powered the array, creating a pillar of blue-white light and opening a passage to another plane.

Green recognized the Abyss's corrupting power as a threat to the Lava Clan and prepared to counter it with Order Force rather than Holy Light. He connected devout Believers to his power and began designing a divine spell, leaving its purpose and result unrevealed.

• Green sensed the corrupting aura emerging from the Bottomless Abyss and considered how it could affect the Lava Clan.
• Green identified Holy Light and Order Force as powers that could counter the Abyss, but rejected Holy Light because its ties to the sun's Authority would draw the attention of other Deities.
• Green used the Chip to connect devout Believers in the Lava Clan's battle-ready Legion to his divine power.
• Green reviewed the divine spells he could grant and confirmed that his current selection reached the fourth circle.
• Green began designing a divine spell in the Chip, forming four intricate nested rings.

Green completed the Order Domain divine spell and added it to the first through fourth circles, giving his Believers a powerful means to suppress demons. Before the war, the million-strong Lava Clan Legion awakened Legion Will, gaining extraordinary combat abilities and leaving Green to recognize it as an unprecedented force.

• Green finished constructing the Order Domain spell and had the Chip integrate it into the first through fourth-circle divine spells.
• Green’s Believers received the new divine magic, and their shared resolve caused the Legion’s strength to surge.
• Green sensed that the million-strong Lava Clan Legion had awakened Legion Will, an exceptionally rare phenomenon.
• Green used the Chip to scan the Legion Will and discovered its nine characteristics, including rapid recovery, mental shock, Dominion Field, and Divine Descent.
• Green judged the Legion nearly invincible, while Mind Link kept its members united and undistracted.

The Lava Clan Legion repelled the first wave of Abyssal Demons by turning them against one another, then prepared to enter the passage and rescue the endangered plane. Leindorf cleared the passage of Abyssal power, and Yugulos widened it for the advancing troops.

• The Lava Clan Legion used Mental Shock and the Dominion Field to make the first demons attack those emerging from the passage, inflicting heavy losses.
• Green ordered the Lava Clan Legion to rescue the plane and spread the faith of the Dragon of Dominion.
• Leindorf revealed his True Body and used Flame Breath to wipe away the Abyssal power inside the passage.
• Yugulos and the Mages stabilized the passage as Leindorf's breath shook the array.
• Leindorf ordered the troops to advance, and Yugulos widened the passage before collapsing to the ground, exhausted.

Abyssal Corruption ravaged the Sais Plane as demons transformed and fought for survival. At the Devon Highlands passage, a Flame Breath annihilated the demon horde, allowing Flame Trolls from the Toril Plane to enter the plane.

• Scarlet mist and blood rain corrupted the Devon Highlands, killing or mutating creatures and turning some into Abyssal Demons.
• Demons gathered at the Plane Passage in the Devon Highlands but hesitated after an earlier horde disappeared inside.
• A Flame Breath erupted from the passage, destroying tens of thousands of Demons and melting the earth.
• With the high-ranking Demons dead, low-level Demons fled as the passage widened and Flame Trolls from the Toril Plane marched into the Devon Highlands.
• Blood rain and scarlet mist continued transforming the cliffs of Dalian Canyon while Demon squads flew through it, and a Vrock in the Heroic Realm hurried deeper into the canyon.
• Kragus was described as the Abyssal Lord of a nameless layer who had risen to High Legendary by devouring other Demons.

Kragus prepared to defend his Abyssal territory after learning that a Legion from another Plane had entered the Devon Highlands. He faced Leindorf in battle and quickly discovered that Leindorf was stronger, losing his right arm in their first clash.

• Kragus devoured an Elf and gained strength from the Abyss Force flowing into his flesh palace.
• A Vrock reported that a Legion from another Plane was advancing through the Devon Highlands, and Kragus ate the messenger before leaving his palace.
• Kragus led countless Demons out of Dalian Canyon toward the Devon Plain, where they faced the disciplined Lava Clan Legion.
• Kragus and Leindorf met at the boundary between their forces and began fighting, with Leindorf's flames burning Kragus through their repeated clashes.
• Kragus recognized Leindorf's superiority and lost his right arm when he blocked one of Leindorf's claws.

Leindorf and the Lava Clan Legion crushed Kragus’s invading Demon army through coordinated attacks, Legion Will, and the Divine Art of Dominion. Leindorf killed Kragus, ending the invasion and leaving the surviving Demons to descend into chaos.

• Leindorf overwhelmed Kragus with Lava Breath, while the Abyssal Will prevented Kragus from fleeing.
• Kroggus used the True Names of his generals to drive the Demons into battle against the Lava Clan.
• The Lava Clan Legion devastated the Demon ranks with magical weapons, War Sorceries, Mental Shock, Dominion, and the Divine Art of Dominion, forcing many Demons to flee.
• Kragus absorbed the flesh and blood of fleeing Demons, lost his reason, and attacked Leindorf.
• Leindorf pierced Kragus’s heart and killed him, and sunlight returned to the Sais Prime Material Plane as the Demons fell into disarray.

After the Lava Clan cleared the demons from the Sais Plane, Green received immense faith for saving it and formed a new Divine Authority. His new Divinity, Lord of the Radiant Hope-Savior Legion, could strengthen legions and their Believers.

• The Lava Clan swept the Sais Plane clean of demons, and the recovering Planar Will began healing the land and its lifeforms.
• Kali ordered the surviving lifeforms of the Sais Plane gathered into a city in the Devon Highlands.
• The rescued lifeforms praised Green, and their faith stirred the World Rules and reached him in New Lava City.
• Green absorbed the Faith Force and World Force, transforming his Godhead Embryo and gaining a new Authority.
• Green saw that his new Divinity was Lord of the Radiant Hope-Savior Legion and concluded it could strengthen Believers and legions in war.

Green’s Lava Legion saved seven planes from Abyssal Demons, growing stronger with each victory as faith flowed into Green’s Godhead. The Legion gathered its elite forces because Green was about to perform the ritual of apotheosis.

• Green hoped the pure faith of the Sais Plane would help him kindle his Divine Flame sooner.
• Three months later, the Lava Legion entered the Hiloa Plane, where Leindorf killed three Legendary Demon commanders and the Legion wiped out the invading Demons.
• The Lava Legion went on to save the third through seventh planes, splitting into two forces to answer the final planes’ calls for help.
• The Legion’s victories transformed its Legion Will, raised most of its members to the Heroic Realm, and advanced Leindorf to Demigod power.
• Leindorf gained the Divinity of Command and Victory, becoming Green’s Subordinate Deity before Green’s own apotheosis.
• Green halted the campaign to gather the Legion’s elite forces and prepare for his apotheosis ritual.

Green prepared to kindle his Divine Flame at a vast altar on the cooled site of Lava City, while the Lava Clan gathered to support his ascension. As the ritual began, the World Force descended upon him and Green focused the gathered Faith Force into his Godhead Embryo.

• The Lava Clan completed a vast altar on the obsidian lake, placing five symbols of Green’s Authorities at its points and stationing five holy maidens at its center.
• Elite Lava Clan Legions guarded the altar as Believers gathered around it and prepared to pray.
• Green awoke in Lava Palace, flew to the altar, and drew an outpouring of prayers and Faith Force from the Lava Clan.
• Green landed at the altar’s center and told the five holy maidens to prepare for the ritual.
• Dark clouds gathered over Toril as the World Force pressed down on Green, who poured Faith Force into his Godhead Embryo.

Green merged with his Godhead, gained authority over the Divine World, and ignited his Divine Flame by purifying the Faith Force within it. With the core elements of his divinity established, he entered the second trial of ascension.

• Green merged his consciousness with the Godhead and absorbed Origin Force, gaining authority over the Divine World and embodying several concepts.
• Green recognized that the Faith Force entering his Godhead contained stray thoughts that could damage it unless he purified them with a Divine Flame.
• Green used his Ninth-Level will and organized memories to overwhelm and erase the stray thoughts in the Faith Force.
• The purified Faith Force compressed into a golden Whirlpool, and Green ignited his Divine Flame within it.
• The Divine Flame burned the Faith Force into Divine Power, and Green began the second trial of a Deity's ascension.

Green’s Authority was recognized as he began raising his God Throne, drawing the attention of the gods across the Divine World. Alarmed by the threat his Dominion posed, the gods moved to stop him before he could ascend.

• Five Law Chains bound to Green’s soul and body as the Origin Force announced his existence to the Divine World.
• Bane, Tyr, Asmodeus, Tiamat, Bahamut, and other Deities gathered outside the Toril Plane to watch Green’s ascension.
• Tyr blamed Tiamat for creating Red Dragons, while Tiamat defended Green as a member of the Dragon Race.
• Bane urged the gods to act before Green completed his ritual, fearing Green would kill him or make him a Subordinate Deity.
• Tiamat, Bahamut, and other gods whose domains touched Dominion began acting, and their powers stirred the Origin Force of the Dominion Field.

Green withstood the gods’ attack during his God Ascension and was proclaimed the God of Dominion with Intermediate Divine Power. The chapter left the gods reconsidering how to repair their relationship with him, while they turned their attention to Bane.

• A crown appeared above Green as prayers gathered, while the gods combined their powers to attack him through the Origin Force.
• The Lava Clan’s believers and five holy maidens sustained a golden Faith Barrier that held back the gods’ crimson pillar for three minutes.
• Green told his exhausted believers they had done enough, then met the pillar with his multicolored dragon breath.
• Green drew on the faith stored in his Godhead, overwhelmed the pillar, and caused a golden-red throne to rise to the third tier of the Origin Force Sea.
• The World Will proclaimed Green the God of Dominion, and the gods began considering reconciliation before turning to Bane, the God of Tyranny.

Bane saw the gods turn away from him as Green’s ascent threatened his authority, leaving him to choose between submission and war. Green completed his ascension, concealed his Divine Realm, and opened a passage to Arcadia, where he began establishing his realm.

• Bane realized the other evil deities were distancing themselves from him and rejected the possibility of becoming Green’s Subordinate Deity.
• Green completed his God Ascension as his Believers prayed for his Divine Realm to rise among the stars.
• The Toril Plane’s pressure forced Green to establish a Divine Realm before the Origin Force’s blessing faded.
• Green used the Origin Force to hide the Divine Realm’s location from the other deities.
• Green opened a passage leading to Arcadia and entered it after discovering that his Alignment was Good-leaning Lawful Neutral.

Green traveled to Arcadia and used the Origin Force to create a Divine Realm nearly the size of a super-large plane. He entered it and concealed it, leaving Bane to prepare for an attack he could not yet locate.

• Bane realized Green had avoided revealing his Divine Realm, cursed his caution, and returned to prepare for Green's attack.
• Green arrived in Arcadia, a plane shaped by order and divided into daylight and darkness by the Day-Night Orb.
• Following the Origin Force's guidance, Green released Divine Power infused with Divine Flame and Divine Office to begin forming his Divine Realm.
• The Origin Force helped Green's Divine Realm absorb part of Arcadia and expand until it rivaled a super-large plane.
• Green entered the completed Divine Realm and commanded it to hide, causing it to merge into space and disappear.

Green created his Divine Realm, revealed it to the worlds, and welcomed the first Lava Clan souls and angels into it. He left the five angels to organize the revived Believers as they began building the realm.

• Green created the sun, sky, land, ocean, and other features of his Divine Realm, spending Divine Power as he shaped it.
• Green connected the Divine Realm to the throne in the Origin Force Sea, causing a brilliant star to appear above the Prime Material Planes and revealing his ascension.
• The Lava Clan Believers celebrated their Deity, and Green brought the chosen holy maidens into the Divine Realm, transforming all five into powerful angels.
• Green awakened hundreds of thousands of deceased Lava Clan souls in the Divine Realm and promised them eternal life in his divine radiance.
• Green instructed the five angels to lead the Believers in building the Divine Realm, then sent his will toward the Toril Continent.

Green established the Church of the God of Rulership after ascending to godhood, while the Lava Clan built Miracle City and turned his ascension site into a Holy Land. Green gave Pope Yugulos a divine oracle to prepare for war against Bane's Church.

• The Lava Clan built Miracle City around Green's ascension site, which became a Holy Land visited by Believers from across the Toril Plane.
• The Church of the God of Rulership officially began operating, with its Pope, High Priests, Nuns, and Paladins in place.
• Yugulos became Pope after winning the selection, while Leindorf became Lord Paladin.
• Green's Divine Power spoke through his statue and ordered Yugulos to prepare the Sect for a War of Faith against Bane, God of Tyranny.
• Yugulos vowed to obey Green and destroy the Bane Church.

Three years after the Lava Clan took control of seven planes, the Radiant Legion and its allies launched a sweeping purge of the Bane Church, while the Legion Will drew the attention of Deities across the planes. As Bane’s influence and faith dwindled, Green warned Sevyla that Bane might soon strike first and sent her to alert Leindorf and the others.

• The Radiant Legion executed the Bane Church’s followers across seven planes, and the Lava Clan used intelligence from the Severin Faction to expand the purge to other planes.
• The churches of Tyr, Lathander, and Mystra secretly aided the Ruling Church, while Cyric’s followers supplied information and the Mara Church and Mask Church severed their ties to Bane’s Church.
• The Lava Clan’s Legion Will overwhelmed the Bane Church’s forces, prompting Deities across the planes to organize their own Believers into legions.
• Good-aligned Deities gained an advantage in the war for faith because they could gather Believers and unify their will more easily than evil-aligned Deities.
• Green saw Bane’s influence shrinking across the planes and warned that Bane might soon strike first, then ordered Sevyla to alert Leindorf and the others and remain ready to intervene.
• Sevyla entered a passage to the Prime Material Plane, where her Demigod status allowed her to act without serious rejection.

Green monitored the Faith War between the Ruling Church and the Bane Church and prepared for Bane’s likely intervention. After assessing his Divine Offices and strength, he decided to burn faith to raise his level before the decisive battle.

• Green concluded that the weakened Bane Church could mount one more counterattack before Bane intervened, and he ordered further preparations for the war.
• Green sensed that the Evil Alignment gods were suspiciously calm and sent information from his Divine Realm to make preparations.
• Green asked the Chip to analyze his Divine Offices and learned that Transcendent Dominion increased his attributes but could burden his body if he dominated too many targets.
• Green estimated that he could fight Bane to a draw and decided to burn faith to raise his level to Middle-Grade Peak.
• Green closed his eyes and began burning faith as his dragon body glowed red.
