Chapter Summaries

Chu Hang forged a new Law of the Body and tried to advance through the Sea of Laws, but retreated before mastering time and his own law. He returned to find Stephen Strange, the newly appointed Sorcerer Supreme, waiting outside his base.

• Chu Hang entered a secluded Mirror Dimension and reforged Ego's Celestial Life Law form and Asgardian Constitution Law into a new Law of the Body.
• Chu Hang crossed the Spatial Law Sea and endured the Law of Force Sea, deepening his understanding of both laws.
• Chu Hang judged that he lacked the strength to enter the Law of Time Sea or master his new Law of the Body, so he withdrew and failed to complete his breakthrough.

• Chu Hang identified Strange as the new Sorcerer Supreme and mentioned the lingering energy from The Ancient One's death, making Strange tense.

Chu Hang helped Strange confront the threat at the New York Sanctum, where he battled Dormammu's clone and destroyed it by unleashing a storm of clashing laws. He discovered he could now copy Skyfather-level abilities, but the chapter ended with Strange and Mordo's battle unresolved.

• Strange told Chu Hang that Mordo was hunting sorcerers and that Dormammu might send a clone, so Chu Hang agreed to deal with Dormammu while Strange faced Mordo.

After the battle at the Sanctum, Chu Hang gained the [Dimension Invasion] ability but found his current power too weak to create a functional avatar. Meanwhile, Tony Stark struggled with the trauma of the Battle of New York and sought comfort from an Iron Man suit.

• Strange defeated Mordo, who condemned the sorcerers' abuse of power and died in the ruined Sanctum.
• Chu Hang urged Strange to set aside his grief and act as Sorcerer Supreme, then collected Dormammu's residue as a Black Noir crystal and left.

Thor sent Chu Hang a distress call while the Dark Elves attacked him and Jane over the Aether. Chu Hang arrived, effortlessly defeated the Dark Elf army, and left Thor stunned by the extent of his power.

After defeating the Dark Elf army, Chu Hang went with Thor to Asgard and examined Jane Foster, finding that the Aether was assimilating her. He proposed a deal with Odin to help defeat Malekith in exchange for one month to study the safely extracted Reality Stone.

• Chu Hang healed Thor’s wound and learned that the Aether was changing Jane into a vessel for the Reality Stone.

• Chu Hang opened a spatial rift to his Malibu villa and told Thor to stop relying on others to clean up his mess.

After losing his ice cream shop job, Scott Lang robbed Hank Pym’s mansion and took the Ant-Man suit, unaware Chu Hang was watching for its Pym Particles. Hank contacted Scott through the helmet, and Scott pressed the suit’s button and shrank to the size of an ant.

• Manager Dale fired Scott because of his criminal record, and Luis persuaded him to rob an old man’s mansion for money to support Cassie.
