Chapter Summaries

After Tyr destroyed Green’s avatar with a single blow, Green tore open a passage from his Divine Realm and entered the battle in his True Body. Green and Tyr’s clash threatened to shatter the Mount Celestia Plane, forcing the gods to pour in their power to stabilize it.

• Tyr targeted Green and struck his Red Dragon avatar down onto Mount Celestia Plane with a single attack.
• Furious, Green activated the Chip’s combat support and tore open spacetime in his Divine Realm to reach the battlefield.
• The gods watched Tyr mock Green’s defeat, while Talos and Gruumsh considered sending out their True Bodies.
• Green’s True Body tore through the Mount Celestia Plane and attacked Tyr, who met his blow with a fist of Darkness Power.
• Bahamut called on the gods to pour in more divine power and stabilize the plane as Green and Tyr’s attacks made it tremble.

Tyr was pushed to the brink by Green, then began fusing with the Primordial Nature’s hatred of the present and future to seek greater power. Green recognized the threat and prepared a time-based Seal, choosing to wait until Tyr completed his transformation before striking.

• Tyr unleashed Origin-Level Darkness Power and briefly shifted their clash in his favor, but Green countered with six Twelfth-Ring Spells.
• Tyr detonated his condensed black fist to escape Green’s attack, then crashed into Mount Celestia as Green turned the fissure into a Lava Sea and attacked him with a Lava Dragon.
• Tyr, gravely wounded, revealed his intent to inherit the primordial will and destroy wisdom, summoning the ancient Hatred buried in the Origin Force Sea.
• The gods realized that Tyr’s fusion with the primordial Hatred could make him an Eternal Calamity, and God of Knowledge Ogma urged Green to stop him.
• Green decided to define the past, present, and future with a time-based Seal, waiting for Tyr to finish transforming before attacking.

Tyr fused with the Past Primordial Nature and became a world-spanning Black Smoke Serpent, then fought Green across Mount Celestia. Green revealed the force of Order through his five divine artifacts, weakening Tyr, but Tyr remained confident he could survive defeat by being sealed until the Divine World declined.

• Tyr completed his fusion with the Past Primordial Nature and transformed into a Black Smoke Serpent that coiled around the Divine World.
• Green began modifying the timeline with a Thirteenth-Ring Spell, then provoked Tyr into attacking him.
• Green and Tyr clashed, shaking the Divine World and threatening the stability of Mount Celestia and the gods’ thrones.
• Tyr offered Green a place beneath him in his new world, but Green refused and summoned five divine artifacts to unleash the force of Order.
• Green’s Order Force drove back the Black Smoke and weakened Tyr, who remained confident he could endure defeat and emerge again when the Divine World declined.

Green used the five divine artifacts to suppress Tyr and moved their battle from Mount Celestia to Outer Space. As the gods worked to separate the colliding Good-and-Evil Origin, Green transformed into human form and questioned Tyr’s understanding of the past, present, and future.

• Green merged the five divine artifacts with his body, and their Order Force suppressed Tyr while strengthening him.
• Green warped space and moved himself and Tyr from Mount Celestia to Outer Space.
• Bahamut and the other gods joined forces to separate the colliding Good-and-Evil Origin before spacetime collapsed.
• In Outer Space, Tyr claimed he was undying, but Green received a notification that his timeline construction modification was complete.
• Green used the Greater Shapeshifting Spell to take human form and asked Tyr to consider the relationship between the past, present, and future.

Green revealed the past, present, and future at once, then changed events across time to defeat Tyr and end the Gods’ conflict. As the world returned to normal, Green kept the Book of Goodness and the Book of Darkness and raised his hand again.

• Green used the Golden Gauntlet to reveal golden threads connecting every being and object throughout the Divine World.
• Green made the past, present, and future unfold simultaneously, and Ogma explained that he had changed the structure of spacetime.

• Green removed the Book of Holiness and the Book of Darkness from Tyr’s past, causing Tyr to disintegrate and the Good-and-Evil Origin’s collision to vanish.
• Tyr reappeared as God of Justice, while the Gods retained their memories of the changed timeline.
• Green stored the Book of Goodness and the Book of Darkness, then raised his hand again.

After restoring the Divine World, Green gained dominion over the Mount Celestia Plane and convened the gods to judge Tyr and the other culprits. Tyr admitted his wrongdoing, but Green revealed that the Book of Lies had also driven the crisis and drew suspicion toward Cyric.

• Green returned the Divine World to normal, entered the Mount Celestia Plane, and gained power over it as its Sovereign.
• Green and the gods gathered beside Tyr's Divine Realm to settle accounts for the crisis.
• Torm asked Tyr to admit his wrongdoing, and Tyr confessed that his greed and arrogance had caused the crisis and accepted punishment.
• Green summoned the Book of Holiness and the Book of Darkness, then told Tyr to produce the Book of Lies as a deeper cause of his fall.
• Ogma identified the Book of Lies, and Cyric claimed it was a counterfeit planted to frame him, but the gods looked to Green for judgment.

Green revealed that many evil deities had helped create the Book of Lies and punished those responsible for disrupting the world's balance. Tyr accepted a thousand-year campaign in the Abyss, Cyric returned to serving his existing sentence, and the other evil gods faced restrictions on their Churches and avatars.

• Green used the Book of Lies to expose the many gods who had participated in its creation, most of them evil deities.
• Green ordered Tyr to lead his True Body and the Believers in his Divine Realm against Demons on the First Layer of the Abyss for a thousand years, and Tyr agreed.
• Green warned that the imbalance would make Demons born in the Bottomless Abyss stronger over the next ten thousand years, possibly producing Demons with Greater Divine Power.
• Green ruled that Cyric would receive no additional punishment and told him to return to Pandemonium to finish his original sentence.
• Green forbade the evil gods' Churches from expanding or actively spreading their faith for a thousand years and prohibited the gods from sending avatars to the Prime Material Plane.

Green made the Evil deities swear to accept their punishments, then the Overgod struck them with Black Lightning and weakened their divine power. The Dwarven and Elven pantheons prepared to attack the weakened Orc Pantheon, leaving Gruumsh facing a widening threat.

• Tyr swore to send his True Body to the First Layer of the Bottomless Abyss, and the other Evil deities swore not to expand their Churches.
• Green told the deities that the World Will would punish them for the destruction they had caused.
• The Overgod sent Black Lightning against the Evil deities, reducing their power and destabilizing some avatars.
• Moradin and Belenni Truesilver announced that the Dwarven Pantheon would go to war against the Orc Pantheon.
• Corellon Larethian declared that the Elven Pantheon would also attack the Orc Pantheon, and Gruumsh glared at his enemies.

Green returned to Arcadia as the Dominion Pantheon withdrew, while the War of Good and Evil boosted worship of Green and the Ruling Church across the Prime Material Plane. Meanwhile, Tyr and his allies invaded the Abyss’s First Layer, forcing the Demons to retreat and easing their incursions into the Prime Material Plane.

• Gruumsh entered the passage after telling Moradin to suit himself, and Moradin flew toward Solania.
• Green withdrew the Book of Holiness and the Book of Darkness and returned to Arcadia, followed by the other deities.
• Stories praising Green spread across the planes, and the Ruling Church gained believers among Doghead clans, Dwarves, and spellcasters.
• Torm, Helm, and Bahamut sent troops and avatars to assist Tyr as the four deities attacked the First Layer of the Abyss.
• The Demons abandoned the First Layer and retreated to the Fourth Layer, making it harder for them to open passages to the Prime Material Plane.

As the Evil Gods and Hell’s rulers weakened and Green’s faith spread, the Divine World’s Will urged Green toward Great Divine Power by pouring Origin Force and Order Law into his Godhead. Green feared becoming bound to the Divine World, so he decided to ascend while leaving open the option of abandoning his Avatar.

• The Orc Pantheon suffered catastrophic losses, and Shargaas and other deities began quietly contacting Lueranno’s expanding regime.
• Asmodeus stopped recovering from his injuries and entered political struggles with Hell’s other lords while trying to suppress the Ruling Church’s growth.
• Green’s Believers spread the Savior Church’s faith across the Outer Planes, bringing Green to the limits of Greater Divine Power.
• The Divine World’s Will poured Origin Force and Order Law into Green’s Godhead to push him toward the Throne of Order.
• Green decided to accept the advancement for now, reasoning that he could abandon his Avatar if becoming Great Divine Power trapped him in the Divine World.

Green began ascending toward the Throne of Order as the World Will poured Origin Force into his transformation, spreading Law Chains throughout the Divine World. His Order Force remained imperfect, so Green asked the World Will to move him above the Origin Force Sea while he investigated what was missing.

• Green stood and released pure Order Force, causing Law Chains to appear across Arcadia and drawing the attention of powerful beings throughout the Divine World.
• The deities in Mystra's Divine Realm studied the Law Chains and gained insights, while Azuth could not withstand their truths and looked away.
• The Law Chains spread across the Divine World, and Green's laws began merging inside a golden cocoon as his believers' prayers supplied Faith Force.
• Green found that his newly formed Order Force lacked a final condition, and the World Will could not determine what was missing.
• Green asked the World Will to move him above the Origin Force Sea, then used the Chip to activate Microscopic Vision and examine the Order Force.

Green’s attempt to ascend to Greater Divine Power failed when he discovered that his Order Force required a Divine Office under his complete control. He ended the attempt and emerged from the shattered cocoon, leaving the gods to face the prospect that ascending would be even harder than they feared.

• The gods watched Green’s golden cocoon crack from the outside as the World Will poured Origin Force into it to keep the ascension going.
• Bahamut and Tyr discussed how the Book of Darkness’s method for reaching Greater Divine Power might not work.
• Green examined his Order Force and realized he needed 100% Sovereignty over a Divine Office to bind its forces into a final Qualitative Transformation.
• The World Will offered Green the Authority of the Sun God, but Green refused because Lathander and Selûne held parts of it.
• Green asked the World Will to stop the ascension and said he would gather the Rulership Authority before trying again; the cocoon then shattered and revealed his red dragon body.
• The gods regarded Green’s failed ascension with relief and despair, and Mystra stepped forward to salute him.

Green revealed that ascending to Great Divine Power required earning recognition from a throne aligned with a deity’s alignment, while warning that this knowledge would trigger a world-spanning war. The gods learned that Absolute Neutrality offered no path to a throne, and Kossuth demonstrated that his alignment had changed to Lawful Evil.

• Mystra asked Green how to break through to Great Divine Power, and the gods debated whether they should learn a secret that would bring war.
• Green explained that a deity needed an alignment matching a throne and that the Overgod permanently occupied the throne of Absolute Neutrality.
• The gods realized that the Four Elemental Greater Gods, Ogma, and Sylvanus could not claim a throne while they remained absolutely neutral.
• Kossuth laughed and used an Alignment Detection Spell on himself, revealing that his alignment was Lawful Evil.

Green explained that ascending to Great Divine Power required a Godhead Level of 25 and complete Divine Authority over a domain, forcing the gods to confront the need to unite or eliminate rivals. The gods’ factions began fracturing, while Mystra faced a host of powerful spellcaster gods who could block her ascension.

• Green explained that Kossuth’s new Lawful Evil alignment followed his joining the Dominion Pantheon, then described the Godhead Level 25 requirement for ascending to Great Divine Power.
• Green revealed that an aspiring Great Divine Power had to become the One True God in a domain by mastering all its directly related Divine Authorities.
• Umberlee accused Talos of coveting her Ocean Storm Divine Office, and Auril joined her against him to defend her Winter Storms authority.
• The gods realized that Mystra would need the authorities of spellcasters such as Azuth, Ogma, and Shar, leaving her surrounded by potential enemies.
• Green said gods could also gain complete Divine Authority by making the relevant gods subordinate members of their pantheon, but the revelation deepened the crisis.
• Mystra recovered first, managed a faint smile, and bowed to Green.

Green traded the Book of Holiness to Bahamut in exchange for the Kingship Godhead, then absorbed the godhead. As the gods' relations deteriorated and the World Will pushed them toward conflict, Green returned to Arcadia.

• Mystra regretted asking the gods to reclaim Divine Offices after realizing how difficult it would be to rise to Great Divine Power.
• Green offered Bahamut the Book of Holiness and a scroll of Thirteenth-Ring Spells in exchange for part of Bahamut's Divine Office.
• Bahamut chose the Book of Holiness, divided his Divine Office, and gave Green the Kingship Godhead before departing to recover.
• Green scanned the godhead, confirmed it had no backdoor, and absorbed it.
• Green sensed that the gods' relations had soured and that the World Will was stirring conflict across the Prime Material Plane.
• Green left the Origin Force Sea and entered the Plane Passage to Arcadia.

After a decade of peace, wars erupted among the evil gods while Mystra and her allies advanced their own campaigns and plans. Green’s influence continued to grow as powerful races accepted his Rulership, bringing the final piece of his Rulership Authority closer to completion.

• Malar and Cyric attacked Bhaal, who lost nearly half his Divinity and fled to the Bottomless Abyss, while Malar rose to Intermediate Divine Power.
• Umberlee, Auril, and Talos attacked Akadi, who allied with Istishia and led the Elemental Lifeforms in a counterattack.
• Mystra expanded the Magic Web, reached peak Greater Divine Power and Godhead Level Twenty-Fifth Level, and joined Selûne in driving Shar’s Shadow Weave back.
• Tyr, Torm, and Bahamut agreed to a pact under which two would become subordinate gods to help the third attempt to gain Great Divine Power.
• Dwarves, Devils, humans, Elves, and Dragons tacitly accepted Green’s Rulership as the final piece of his Rulership Authority began to take shape.

A century of war in the Divine World ended in a fragile peace after the gods established the Pantheon to negotiate disputes over Divine Offices. Green had expected to wait quietly for the 3,000-year deadline, but an unknown life-form invaded the Blood-Red World, forcing him to respond.

• Over a hundred years, gods prevented new Demigods and Quasi-Gods from ascending, while war reshaped the Prime Material Plane's factions and weakened the Churches.
• Deities of Lesser and Weak Divine Power united against stronger gods, and their Churches fought to a stalemate with the Churches of Greater Divine Power.
• The gods built the Pantheon above the Origin Force Sea and held an assembly, but they failed to agree on a fair way to wage war over Divine Offices.
• Green returned from the Pantheon meeting to Arcadia and decided not to interfere while the gods continued debating.
• The Chip warned Green that an unknown life-form had invaded the Blood-Red World, and Green began transferring his consciousness to investigate and check the Formation maintained by the Puppet.

Klenenfi, Sario, and Gularl infiltrated the Blood-Red World, hoping to seize its treasures and turn it into a fortress against the Southern Alchemy Empire. They discovered that the world was still active but pressed on toward its World Core, fearing the Blood-Red Tyrant might awaken.

• Klenenfi and Sario reassured Sario that the Blood-Red Tyrant was probably asleep and that the Blood-Red World was safe to enter.
• Gularl used Primordial Particle Decomposition to break through the Crystal Wall during a brief pause in the world's breathing, then used Primordial Particle Reconstruction to seal the opening.
• Klenenfi gave Gularl a blood-red pill to help him recover after the use of his talent nearly exhausted him.
• Sario realized that Gularl's exhaustion meant the Blood-Red World was still active, and warned that returning to the Northern Void River was not an option.
• Sario led Klenenfi and Gularl toward the World Core as they concealed themselves by transforming into basic particles.

Sario, Gularl, and Klenenfi approached a pale-blue barrier near the Blood-Red World’s Core while discussing the world’s history and its influence on civilizations. Klenenfi identified the unusual red mist around the barrier as an alarm system that could awaken the Blood-Red Tyrant if they touched it.

• Sario, Gularl, and Klenfien discussed the abundant Advanced Energy in the Blood-Red World and the Blood-Red Tyrant’s dependence on it.
• Klenfien explained that the Blood-Red Tide had forced civilizations to reform how they distributed resources, and Gularl learned that his civilization’s Federation system had arisen from those changes.
• Sario spotted a small island surrounded by a pale-blue barrier, and the three approached it cautiously.
• Klenenfi examined the faint red mist around the barrier, causing blood to run from his eyes and leaving his pupils dim white.
• Klenenfi told Sario and Gularl that the mist was an alarm sensitive to creatures’ will, Mental Power, and Soul Strength, and that triggering it could awaken the Blood-Red Tyrant.

Kraler, Sario, Klenenfi, and Gularl found a way through the island’s red mist and barrier, but Gularl suffered a deadly curse upon entering. Klenenfi and Sario saved him, and Gularl awoke on the island, shaken by the barrier’s power.

• Klenenfi explained that the red mist monitored fluctuations in self-awareness, and Sario used an oval gemstone to shield the group as they approached the island.
• Gularl opened a small hole in the barrier, and the group rushed onto the island.
• Gularl rapidly aged as a curse drained his Life Flame and damaged his body and soul.
• Klenenfi used pills to stabilize Gularl and expel the black energy, while Sario absorbed it and endured a dangerous backlash.
• Klenenfi gave Gularl another pill, reversing his aging, and Gularl awoke and described the barrier’s composite defenses.
