Chapter Summaries

Chen Xinjie briefed the Military Department on the Blood God Legion’s victory using Anti-Entropy’s Cage Bomb, then discovered a new Anti-Entropy proposal called the Void Gravity Collapse Bomb. He left the meeting with the proposal for later discussion, while Meng Yongchang took a quiet interest in its name.

• Chen Xinjie convened a senior Military Department meeting and reported the Blood God Legion’s Abyss Tide operation and its low losses.
• Meng Yongchang questioned the Cage Bomb’s handling and asked about its use, remaining stock, and production plans; Chen Xinjie said one prototype had been used and Anti-Entropy had supplied three more.

• Chen Xinjie asked whether the equipment department had received new designs and learned of Anti-Entropy’s Void Gravity Collapse Bomb proposal.
• Chen Xinjie read the proposal for over half an hour, ended the meeting, and left with the folder; Meng Yongchang lingered and murmured the bomb’s name.

Meng Yongchang secretly copied information about the Federation’s proposed Void Gravity Collapse Bomb and sent it to Ghost Emperor, who learned that the Federation was developing it alongside the Plane Isolation Cage Bomb. Ghost Emperor doubted the weapons’ reported power but began considering what their ability to isolate space might mean.

• Meng Yongchang secretly read the Void Gravity Collapse Bomb proposal in the Equipment Management Department archives, and Chen Xinjie arrived after he left.

• Intermediaries sent the message through a secret channel to the Far North, where Ghost Emperor received and burned it.
• Ghost Emperor read about the Plane Isolation Cage Bomb and Void Gravity Collapse Bomb, questioned their power, and began wondering about their space-isolating capability.

Ghost Emperor learned from Spirit Emperor that the Federation’s Plane Isolation Cage Bomb threatened the Deep Abyss, confirming Meng Yongchang’s intelligence and raising the likelihood that the Void Gravity Collapse Bomb was real.
