Ch. 781Bonus: The First Unlimited Multiverse Beach Volleyball Tournament (End)
Chapter Summary: The First Unlimited Multiverse Beach Volleyball Tournament (End)
Key Plot Points and Events
- The volleyball match descends into a massive, chaotic battle as Hela’s undead join the field and use mental attacks to hinder the Kryptonians. The Mechanical Lifeform Race remains unaffected because of its construction.
- Lin Feng orders the Radiant Magic Book and Forbidden Magic Book to stop arguing and participate. When they ignore him, he threatens to seal them in storage for a hundred years, forcing them into an unprecedented temporary alliance.
- The Radiant Magic Book unleashes powerful holy spells, destroying Hela’s undead while simultaneously strengthening Lin Feng’s allies.
- The Forbidden Magic Book opens an Abyss Gate, releasing enormous Dark Abyss creatures. These creatures devour the remaining undead and attack the Black Robes, helping the Kryptonians.
- The battlefield becomes an extraordinary multiversal spectacle involving Superman’s heat vision, the Star River Train, undead forces, mechanical beings, holy magic, and Abyss creatures. The spectators become more interested in the battle than in the volleyball itself.
- The fighting continues for an entire day. Old Thanos withdraws with Young Thanos, while Hela retreats after realizing she cannot contend with the combined power of holy magic and Abyss creatures.
- The Black Robes’ forces are completely defeated except for Zero, who is badly injured and forced to flee after issuing a final threat.
- Linglu declares Lin Feng’s Blue Star Team the winner, giving them a 3–1 victory over the Universe Team.
- Lin Feng is dissatisfied because he had to restrain himself to avoid harming the spectators and universe. He dismisses the gold-and-diamond statue awarded to him and leaves to return to his family.
- The tournament officially ends, and the chapter strongly implies that such an event will never be held again.
Character Developments
- Lin Feng demonstrates overwhelming power and authority. He successfully forces the normally quarrelsome magic books to cooperate, though he remains unsatisfied because he could not fight freely.
- Radiant Magic Book and Forbidden Magic Book temporarily set aside their endless rivalry, showing that fear of isolation—and Lin Feng’s command—can make them cooperate. Their combined abilities prove decisive.
- Hela displays practical judgment by retreating rather than engaging an unwinnable battle.
- Zero suffers another defeat and is reduced to fleeing the battlefield, emphasizing his inability to threaten Lin Feng’s faction.
- Old Thanos and Young Thanos withdraw early, highlighting the enormous gap between their abilities and those of the combatants.
- Linglu abandons her role as commentator because the battle becomes too overwhelming to narrate, instead watching the spectacle like the rest of the audience.
Significant Themes
- Spectacle overwhelming purpose: The volleyball tournament loses its original sporting character and becomes a full-scale multiversal war, showing how excessive power can transform ordinary competition into chaos.
- Temporary cooperation among opposites: Holy light and Dark Abyss creatures, traditionally incompatible forces, work together against a common enemy.
- Power and restraint: Lin Feng’s greatest frustration is not defeat but the need to hold back his true strength to protect others.
- Entertainment and awe: The spectators care less about rules or scores than about witnessing an unprecedented display of power.
- Family and domestic life: Despite his victory and the grand prize, Lin Feng values returning to his wife, children, and home more than public glory.
- The futility of rivalry: Zero’s repeated defeat and the overwhelming conclusion suggest that continued conflict with Lin Feng is increasingly hopeless.
Character Interactions
- Lin Feng scolds and threatens both magic books, compelling them to cooperate.
- The Radiant Magic Book’s holy attacks empower allies while destroying undead, while the Forbidden Magic Book’s summoned creatures attack both undead and Black Robes.
- Formerly opposing forces—Kryptonians, mechanical beings, holy magic, and Abyss creatures—fight together against Hela’s undead and the Black Robes.
- Hela recognizes the danger posed by the magic books and withdraws rather than risk being destroyed.
- Zero is left alone after his allies retreat and is defeated once again by Lin Feng’s side.
- Lin Feng’s relationship with his family is reinforced at the end, as he chooses the comfort of home over celebration, prizes, or continued combat.
