Chapter Summaries

Key plot points and events

• Green captures the girl leading the Nature Hermitage, restraining her with a sword. Selina’s Mechanical Crows overwhelm the Hermitage fighters and destroy the newly risen Vine Zombies.
• Green recognizes the girl as Hiddink by her soul’s fluctuations. Under pressure, she reveals that the God of Death took the God of Nature’s Divine Core and Divinity from her and Sonic, then tried to kill them. Gaia rescued them and sent them to the former Divine Kingdom of the God of Death, now fused with a Void World.
• Hiddink and Sonic are searching for the Death Temple, which may hold the God of Death’s body, soul, and part of his Divine Core. Green suspects Gaia may have another motive, and wonders what the Divine Eagle Empire’s role is, particularly Major General Komo’s.
• In the Mist World, Apollo and the White Dragon Angdalagon fly over two large cities in the Undead Empire. The cities appear orderly and multi-racial, but that peace rests on strict segregation and brutal enforcement: after an earlier riot, more than 7,300 people were hanged.
• Apollo and Angdalagon continue north without stopping, heading toward their destination. As they travel, they detect an unusual surge of Psychic Energy nearby.

Character developments and interactions

• Green demonstrates overwhelming control and military power, but his main interest is information rather than pursuing Hiddink’s transformation. He questions her confidently and recognizes her identity without revealing his own connection to her past.
• Hiddink is frightened and desperate to survive, and quickly gives Green what she knows. Her account reveals that she and Sonic were betrayed by the God of Death and saved by Gaia.
• Apollo is cautious about exposing himself, even as he becomes curious about the Undead Empire’s cities. Angdalagon is unsettled by how much the Mist World has changed since he last saw it.
• Green’s distant connection to Hiddink and the God of Nature’s legacy contrasts with Apollo and Angdalagon’s separate journey, which ends on the hint of a new encounter.

Significant themes

• Power and survival: Hiddink submits because Green’s force leaves her little hope of escape; the city’s order likewise depends on the threat of punishment.
• Deception and hidden motives: Gaia’s rescue may conceal a second objective, and Green suspects the Divine Eagle Empire is involved in a larger scheme.
• The limits of imposed harmony: The Undead Empire has ended open racial violence, but segregation and fear—not genuine reconciliation—keep the peace.
• A world in transition: The cities and industry surprise Angdalagon, suggesting the Mist World has changed substantially, while the unexplained Psychic Energy hints at further upheaval.

Key plot points and events

• Apollo and Angdalagon sense a powerful Psychic Energy surge. Apollo recognizes it as the Solar Core he lost to the Lord of Light and insists they investigate.
• The story shifts to the previous day in Oasis City-State, where Link’s double takes control after the Grand Elder’s apparent assassination. He claims the Grand Elder’s authority without holding the customary election.
• A prominent bearded man openly challenges Link’s claim. Link kills him instantly, silencing the assembly and securing compliance. He orders the City-State mobilized for war.
• Link then visits the real Grand Elder, whom he has secretly imprisoned. Seeking the location of a hidden Superweapon, Link tortures the Grand Elder’s soul until he reveals it. The soul is ultimately destroyed.

Character developments

• Link is shown as ruthless, politically astute, and increasingly urgent. He uses force to consolidate power and extreme torture to obtain what he wants, driven by the discovery of the Superweapon and fast-moving events elsewhere.
• The Grand Elder remains defiant at first, believing death cannot intimidate him, but breaks under prolonged torment inflicted on his soul.
• Apollo shifts from skepticism about rumors concerning the Solar Core to certainty that he has sensed the real thing, motivating him to pursue it.
• Angdalagon recognizes the importance of the discovery to Apollo and follows without argument.

Significant themes

• Power through fear: Link secures obedience by making an example of an opponent.
• Corruption of authority: He bypasses the City-State’s election tradition and uses a political crisis to seize control.
• Cruelty and coercion: The torture of the Grand Elder’s soul shows Link’s willingness to violate any limit to achieve his aims.
• Urgency and ambition: Link’s concern about rising powers and the Superweapon drives his decisive, ruthless actions.

Character interactions

• Link confronts the assembly’s factions, challenges them to oppose him, and kills the lone public dissenter.
• He bargains with—and then tortures—the imprisoned Grand Elder, extracting the Superweapon’s location.
• Apollo and Angdalagon respond together to the Solar Core’s energy, with Angdalagon supporting Apollo’s decision to investigate.

Key events

• Link investigates a small, unusually deep lake after the Grand Elder claims the Oasis City-State’s inherited superweapon is hidden in a secret space beneath it. His attempt to read the Grand Elder’s memories found no information about the weapon, suggesting that a Deity had concealed it.
• Link dives into the lake. The next day, an underwater blast sends up a red pillar of light, clears the surrounding mist, and reveals a patch of blue sky.
• Apollo recognizes the light as the aura of a Solar Core. He hopes to use it to recover some of his lost Divine Power, but approaches cautiously rather than rushing in.
• Apollo’s companion, the White Dragon Angdalagon, senses danger and nearly leaves. Apollo persuades him to stay by promising to help him reach the Saint Spirit Rank—and perhaps one day become a Demigod.
• Apollo uses divine consciousness to locate the secret space and realizes that Link has entered it first. Because Link may become the Holy Light Church’s next Pontiff, harming him could provoke the Lord of Light.
• Inside the space, Link finds a blazing object resembling a sun: an artificial Solar Core. Its heat is already cracking his clone, and he knows he cannot control the Core at his current strength.
• Apollo appears behind Link. Meanwhile, Angdalagon dives to find the Spatial Anchor that marks the entrance and might allow Apollo to move it.

Character developments and interactions

• Link is cautious but determined to follow the clues despite signs of divine interference. Once inside, he recognizes his limits and prioritizes escaping before his clone is destroyed.
• Apollo shows patience and strategic restraint. His desire for the Solar Core is tempered by the danger of provoking the Lord of Light through Link.
• Angdalagon shifts from fearful reluctance to guarded commitment. The offer of advancement revives ambitions he had nearly abandoned, though he remains alert to danger.
• Apollo’s promise gives Angdalagon a reason to stay, while Link’s presence forces Apollo to reconsider how he can pursue the prize.

Significant themes

• Ambition versus survival: Angdalagon weighs a dangerous opportunity against the safety of retreat; Link likewise recognizes when a goal exceeds his current abilities.
• Power and political consequences: The Solar Core is valuable, but Link’s church position makes him dangerous to oppose.
• Divine secrecy and hidden technology: The concealed memories, protected lakebed, and artificial Solar Core suggest powerful forces and advanced methods operating behind the scenes.

Key plot points and events

• White Dragon Angdalagon finds six of the seven Spatial Anchors beneath the lake, but is interrupted by the much larger Red Dragon Smedley Tawa, who recognizes him and effectively traps him.
• A violent flare and extreme heat erupt from the lake as someone disturbs the Solar Core. Smedley realizes the danger and alerts Green through their Soul Link.
• Green leaves the Death Divine Kingdom, releasing Hiddink before returning to the Mist World. He brings Talaga, the Great Ape King, and a force of Mechanical Warriors.
• At the lake, Green reunites with Smedley and spots Angdalagon—the White Dragon he had previously searched for unsuccessfully. Green’s forces surround the area, with a warship ready to fire.
• The lake evaporates under the Solar Core’s heat. At its center, Link’s duplicate and Apollo—still disguised—are locked in a stalemate over the Core. Both stop fighting when they realize they are surrounded by Mechanical Warriors.

Character developments

• Angdalagon is frightened and cornered. He considers escape but recognizes that Green, Smedley, and Talaga can easily overpower him, and that Apollo is no ally.
• Smedley Tawa shifts from greeting Angdalagon with intimidating mockery to recognizing a serious threat and warning Green.
• Green chooses to prioritize the Mist World over his new position in the Death Divine Kingdom, even though leaving carries risks. He responds to the crisis with overwhelming force.
• Major General Komo remains uncertain about Green’s disappearance but puts the mission and his crew’s safety first, quietly stopping another reconnaissance team from risking further losses.
• Hiddink is unexpectedly freed by Green and flees.

Significant themes

• Conflicting loyalties and priorities: Green gives up an opportunity in the Death Divine Kingdom to protect his home world.
• Power and vulnerability: Angdalagon’s confidence gives way to fear when confronted by stronger dragons and Green’s forces.
• Political uncertainty and suspicion: Komo worries that Green may be acting on a secret agenda, reflecting the Empire’s tangled factions.
• Escalating conflict: The struggle over the Solar Core threatens to expose the Mist World and draws powerful forces into confrontation.

Character interactions

• Smedley’s familiar but intimidating manner makes Angdalagon wary; Angdalagon hides his real reason for returning.
• Smedley reports the disturbance to Green, prompting Green’s return.
• Green regards Angdalagon with suspicion, while Angdalagon reads Green’s attention as hostile.
• Talaga watches the Solar Core with evident interest, adding to Angdalagon’s unease.
• Link’s duplicate and Apollo halt their contest when Green’s Mechanical Warriors surround them, setting up the next confrontation.

Plot points

• Link and Apollo confront Green, Talaga, and the Great Ape King after the Solar Core’s eruption draws powerful forces to the site. Green warns that fighting during the approaching Divine War could leave everyone weakened.
• Green proposes dividing the Solar Core into three portions. Link agrees because his side is outmatched; Apollo accepts after weighing the danger of exposing himself to the watching Deities and the risk of being attacked before he can reclaim his strength. Green prepares to split the Core, though his method remains unexplained.
• Beyond the Titan World, the Lord of Light and the Goddess of the Light of Wisdom observe signs of the world’s awakening and debate whether it signals the return of the Old Gods.
• A sudden blast reveals that Cronus is dying. Zeus emerges as the power draining Cronus’s Divine Core and Divinity. Cronus’s pleas that Zeus is his son go unanswered, and his aura vanishes.
• The Lord of Light realizes Zeus has grown inside Cronus until he could overthrow him. Zeus is now the Titan Race’s God King—and a major threat in the coming Divine War.

Character developments and interactions

• Link recognizes his weakness and chooses compromise over a battle he would likely lose.
• Apollo reveals his determination to obtain the Solar Core, but also his fear of attracting the Deities’ attention. Curiosity about Green’s plan helps persuade him to cooperate.
• Green acts as mediator, persuading two wary rivals to accept a temporary arrangement.
• The Lord of Light and the Goddess of the Light of Wisdom set aside their own rivalry in the face of the greater threat from the awakening Titans. Their mutual caution grows when Zeus appears.
• Zeus is established as calculating and ruthless, in contrast to Cronus, whom the Lord of Light considers powerful but less cunning.

Significant themes

• Pragmatism and uneasy cooperation: Rivals compromise when conflict would endanger everyone.
• Power, secrecy, and vulnerability: Apollo’s restraint reflects the danger of revealing his identity before he can regain his strength.
• The fall of old powers and rise of new ones: Cronus’s death marks the end of an era and the emergence of a new Titan ruler.
• Fate and uncertainty: The exchange about the Three Fates highlights that even gods cannot control or reliably foresee what is coming.

Plot points and events

• A Void Battleship skims the deadly Sea of Death, where it is attacked by a black enemy vessel. Its one-eyed captain orders the crew to return fire and launch a Stellar Missile, destroying the enemy ship with a star-hot explosion.
• The blast awakens Green, who realizes he has been displaced from the Graveyard. Before this, he had taken the Solar Core from Apollo and Archbishop Link to study it, hoping its Alchemy could help the Undead Empire develop fusion technology.
• Green’s researchers, including Claire and Red Queen, successfully analyze the Solar Core and confirm it is a fusion reactor. However, its crude design depends on Divine Power, so the data offers no practical route to building a reactor. Green decides to return the Core.
• When Green touches it in his Death Angel form, the Solar Core suddenly engulfs him and knocks him unconscious. He can still sense the Graveyard and his subjects through their Soul Link, but cannot summon them or return.
• The Void Ship is then struck by a second enemy vessel. Its forward defenses are still recharging, and the attack destroys a main gun and causes over a hundred casualties. Green remains relatively safe in the ship’s middle-to-rear section. A cloud-wrapped Void World appears ahead.

Character developments and interactions

• Green is curious and pragmatic: he takes the Solar Core to study rather than keep it, and abandons the project when it proves unhelpful. His inability to reach the Graveyard leaves him stranded and uncertain, though he resolves to adapt.
• Apollo and Link are curious about Green’s claim that he can divide the Core, but accept his refusal to let them accompany him. Green, meanwhile, distrusts Link after discovering his avatar in Mist World and mistakenly assumes the Holy Light Church and Dark Holy Crusaders are aligned.
• The one-eyed captain remains calm under fire, directing his crew efficiently. The recruits, by contrast, are shaken by the reality of the Sea of Death.

Significant themes

• Knowledge versus power: Scientific insight alone cannot reproduce a technology sustained by divine force.
• The risks of ambition and experimentation: Green’s study of the Solar Core unexpectedly transports him far from home.
• Survival under pressure: Both the ship’s crew and Green face danger by focusing on what they can control.
• Territory and distrust: Green considers Mist World his base and is unwilling to let outside powers interfere.

Key plot points

• Green enters a small Void World aboard the Void Warship Green, pursued by a black enemy warship. Inside the world, he regains access to weapons that the surrounding Void storms had disabled.
• He suddenly finds himself in the body of a soldier named Jack, with no memories of the body’s former owner. His comrades belong to a Federation fighting the Finite Empire in a war that has lasted sixty-three years.
• Green recognizes the Finite Empire from ancient texts and suspects he is trapped in a powerful illusion connected to the Solar Core. The Graveyard remains his anchor to reality, but he cannot escape or determine exactly what is happening.
• In the first scenario, Green pilots an advanced blue-and-white Mecha. It uses mature consciousness-integration technology and a miniature Solar Core, and it greatly boosts its pilot’s combat strength. Green is eager to acquire the technology.
• Before he can act, the scene shifts. Green awakens in another soldier’s body, this time among ordinary troops piloting less advanced black Mechas. Their mission is to intercept an enemy assault squad.

Character developments and interactions

• Green adapts cautiously to each unfamiliar identity, staying quiet while he gathers information from the soldiers around him.
• His excitement at the advanced Mechas reveals his practical ambition: he sees their Solar Core technology as a way to transform his own forces.
• In the second scenario, he recognizes that he has gone from an elite warrior to a likely expendable grunt. He also resents the noble officer’s self-serving speech, while the squad captain gives the troops their orders.

Significant themes

• Reality and identity: Green repeatedly inhabits bodies without receiving their memories, leaving him uncertain whether he is experiencing an illusion or something else.
• Technology and power: The contrast between miniature Solar Core Mechas and fuel-powered models shows how technological advancement can multiply a soldier’s strength.
• War and class: The long stalemate and the noble’s rhetoric expose the gap between those who command and those expected to die.

Key plot points

• While serving as a Mecha soldier in the Finite Empire, Green discovers a hidden briefing assigning him to steal the Federation’s Small Stellar Missile manufacturing technology. The order names William Tattle, whom Green suspects is the future founder of the Tattle Dynasty.
• Green considers whether to keep aiding the Tattle Lineage, expose it to the Empire, or defect to the Federation. Before he can decide, his identity changes again.
• He awakens as Victor, a senior researcher, negotiating in a café with a bearded man. The man offers 100 million Gold Pounds for classified data from the Divine Power experiment. Green asks for half in advance, and the man agrees, though he warns that the Lineage’s money is not easy to take.
• Sensing that a Calamity Rank Transcendent is secretly watching him, Green finds Victor’s identification badge and heads to the Imperial Advanced Research Institute.
• At the institute, Green learns that the unassuming gatekeeper is a powerful Transcendent. A young researcher soon tells him there is a problem with an experiment and insists he attend.
• Green realizes the illusion may work like a game: when he makes a serious mistake or cannot perform an identity’s duties, he is switched into another role. He worries that his opportunities may be limited.

Character developments and interactions

• Green remains observant and adaptable, concealing his confusion while extracting information from others. He uses the café negotiation to test the bearded man and learn about the mysterious Lineage.
• The bearded man treats Green as an important insider, accepts his steep deposit demand, and hints at the Lineage’s influence and wealth.
• The taxi driver’s friendly conversation gives Green background on the Empire’s war with the Federation, a reported divine appearance, and a royal romance.
• The gatekeeper greets Victor warmly despite being a formidable hidden guard, while the young researcher’s urgent request immediately puts Green’s new identity to the test.

Significant themes

• Identity and adaptation: Green must inhabit unfamiliar roles without their memories, relying on observation and improvisation.
• Power and political ambition: The Tattle Lineage’s covert pursuit of military and research secrets suggests a struggle for influence within the Empire.
• Risk and limited chances: Green’s suspicion that identity changes function as revivals creates urgency, especially as he seeks access to the Empire’s most advanced technology.

Key plot points

• Green, still inhabiting senior researcher Victor’s body, learns that the Finite Empire’s institute is investigating Divine Power. He admires the empire’s scientific ambition, while recognizing that such research may have provoked the gods and contributed to its fall.
• An explosion involving Divine Power triggers a lockdown in the institute’s vast underground laboratories. Green uses the confusion to isolate a data room, kill the young researcher accompanying him, and copy files directly into Victor’s mind.
• He secures information on the Solar Core and copies Mecha manufacturing, Void Missile, and Divine Power research data. However, the copied files are only stored in the borrowed body’s brain; Green must commit them to his soul before his consciousness leaves it.
• Armed soldiers evacuate the senior researchers to a heavily guarded military guesthouse. Investigators soon question Victor, who cannot answer convincingly about the scientific work.
• Green abruptly returns to the Graveyard’s Town Hall. He discovers that only the Solar Core files and part of the Divine Power data remain in his soul; the other technologies are lost. Black Claw says Green appeared unconscious for only about two minutes, despite Green’s experience of a much longer sequence of identity-switching.

Character developments and interactions

• Green shows both respect for the Finite Empire’s fearless pursuit of knowledge and ruthless pragmatism: he maintains Victor’s authority, intimidates the young researcher, and kills him when the opportunity to steal the data arises.
• The young researcher obeys Green after being rebuked, though he harbors resentment. Green recognizes this but uses the man to reach the data.
• Green cooperates with the soldiers during the evacuation, then struggles to preserve the stolen knowledge while being questioned.
• Black Claw acts as a concerned observer after Green returns, helping establish how little time has passed in reality.

Significant themes

• Knowledge and danger: The Empire’s scientific courage enabled extraordinary progress but may have crossed boundaries that brought divine retaliation.
• Pragmatism and survival: Green accepts violence and deception as necessary to achieve his goals.
• Limits of borrowed experience: Green can access another identity’s world and knowledge, but retaining that knowledge requires effort—and he returns before he can save everything.
• Uncertain reality and time: Green’s subjective experience vastly exceeds the two minutes that pass in the Graveyard, and the Solar Core may be more powerful or mysterious than its name suggests.

Key plot points and events

• Green returns from his encounter with the Solar Core and decides not to return it to Apollo. He shares the manufacturing knowledge he memorized with his research team.
• Black Claw’s experts verify that the technology is reliable. Green orders them to produce three Solar Cores quickly, using his contacts in the Lorenzo Kingdom to secure scarce materials.
• In the devastated Asgar Kingdom, Gaia meets the God of Death and the Mechanical God. With the Divine War approaching, the three weakened deities negotiate an alliance to avoid being among the first casualties. Apollo is included on the condition that he regain the Sun God’s Divine Office and power.
• The God of Death reveals that his plan to reclaim his abandoned Divine Kingdom failed. The Goddess of the Light of Wisdom had tipped off the Divine Eagle Empire, which extracted the Kingdom’s Divinity Seed.
• Major General Komo returns to the Imperial Capital with the Seed, unaware of its significance. He is ennobled as a Count for completing the secret mission.

Character developments and interactions

• Green acts decisively, prioritizing the Solar Core’s strategic value and keeping the original while arranging substitutes.
• Black Claw and the researchers quickly demonstrate their technical competence and loyalty, accepting the mysterious source of Green’s knowledge without questioning him.
• Gaia takes the lead in bringing the three distressed gods together. Though diminished, she still commands respect as an ancient deity.
• The God of Death admits his failed bid to restore his former strength, leaving the alliance more precarious.
• The Mechanical God remains silent and isolated, its position weakened by the loss of its church and Destroyer King Kong.
• The Goddess of the Light of Wisdom advances her own influence indirectly by arranging for the Divine Eagle Empire to obtain the Seed.
• Komo achieves the noble status he wanted, but remains ignorant of the mission’s larger purpose.

Significant themes

• Survival through cooperation: Weakened deities form an alliance because none can safely face the coming war alone.
• Power and political leverage: Divine Offices, Divine Kingdoms, and the Divinity Seed are tools for building influence and securing future strength.
• Hidden agendas and limited knowledge: Major players pursue concealed plans, while agents like Komo and even Green remain unaware of major events unfolding elsewhere.
• Pragmatism and loyalty: Green’s team focuses on whether the technology works, not where it came from; the gods likewise negotiate from necessity rather than trust.

Plot points and events

• Green focuses on producing Solar Cores, putting aside his earlier mission in the Death Divine Kingdom. After delaying Apollo and Link, he delivers three crude, meter-wide metal spheres that contain powerful Solar Energy. Apollo confirms they are genuine, though he senses something unusual about them.
• Green proposes further cooperation, noting that another Divine War may soon begin. Apollo dismisses the proposal and assumes he can kill Green once his strength returns; Link is more willing to hear him out.
• Green offers to demonstrate a weapon. In a remote desert, the Great Ape King launches Dongfeng One, a missile carrying a hydrogen-bomb warhead powered by a modified Solar Core.
• The missile accelerates, makes a spatial jump, and strikes a distant dune. Its immense blast produces a mushroom cloud and demonstrates that it could destroy both a deity’s body and soul.
• Apollo and Link are stunned. Apollo’s suspicion that Green kept an extra share of the Solar Core is interrupted by the demonstration, and his contempt for Green disappears.

Character developments and interactions

• Green proves resourceful and calculating: he fulfills his bargain, but delays delivery while preparing a weapon to deter Apollo and Link from turning against him. He calmly controls the negotiations and lets the missile’s power make his case.
• Apollo shifts from arrogance to alarm and reluctant respect. Memories of the previous, devastating Divine War make him anxious to regain strength, but he initially regards Green as beneath him and plans to eliminate him later.
• Link remains quiet and observant. Unlike Apollo, he is genuinely interested in Green’s proposal, and the weapon’s destructive power leaves him speechless.
• The central interaction is a power struggle: Green uses the Solar Cores to secure an audience, then reveals that he possesses a weapon potent enough to make even a god reconsider attacking him.

Significant themes

• Deterrence and leverage: Green recognizes that a fair deal will not earn Apollo’s loyalty, so he demonstrates strength to protect himself.
• Power and survival: The looming Divine War drives Apollo’s urgency and shapes everyone’s choices.
• The limits of divine arrogance: Apollo’s confidence falters when confronted with a weapon capable of threatening a deity’s body and soul.

Key plot points and events

• Green demonstrates a Dongfeng One missile, producing a terrifying mushroom cloud that shocks Link and Apollo and forces Apollo to take Green seriously.
• Link and Apollo each order three missiles, paying in rare materials rather than money. Green expects them to study the weapons, but has secretly tampered with the missiles and doubts they can reproduce the technology.
• After three days, Apollo and Link leave the Mist World with one missile each; the rest are due in three months. Their original missions are forgotten: Link abandons Oasis City-State, and Apollo drops his search for Angdalagon.
• Green questions Angdalagon about Frostwing, the White Dragon King. Angdalagon knows only where Frostwing’s old lair is. Green verifies his answer by turning him into a Shadow Creature and asking again, then considers whether to investigate the lair.
• Apollo travels to meet Gaia, the God of Death, and the Mechanical God. By absorbing the Solar Core, he regains his Titan body, though not yet his Divine Office as Sun God.
• Apollo tells the assembled gods about Green’s weapon and shows them the missile. They are astonished by the claim that it can rival a High God’s attack.

Character developments and interactions

• Green proves himself a formidable arms dealer and strategist, using the missile to gain respect and valuable materials while keeping his plans concealed. He treats Angdalagon with open menace to extract information.
• Apollo abandons his former contempt for humans and recognizes Green as an equal—and a potential threat. Regaining his Titan form renews his confidence and deepens his deference to Gaia.
• Link is both frightened and excited by the weapon, immediately seeking to buy and potentially reproduce it. He ultimately prioritizes the missile over his original objective.
• Angdalagon is exposed as self-serving and helpless after Apollo leaves without helping him. Under Green’s threat, he gives all he knows about Frostwing.
• Gaia, the God of Death, and the Mechanical God welcome Apollo as a valuable ally, since his recovery could strengthen their three-god alliance.

Significant themes

• Technology can challenge divine power: Human invention surprises even gods and forces them to reassess humanity.
• Power and self-interest shape alliances: Apollo and Link prioritize acquiring weapons, while the gods value Apollo chiefly for the strength he may regain.
• Knowledge is wealth: Green turns technical superiority into a highly profitable trade.
• Trust under threat: Green confirms Angdalagon’s honesty through supernatural means rather than accepting his word.

Key plot points and events

• Apollo shows Gaia, the God of Death, and the Mechanical God the Dongfeng One missile’s hydrogen-bomb warhead. They cannot decipher its design, but recognize that it could kill even gods.
• Apollo explains that its creator is Undead, who may have studied the Solar Core and could possess more superweapons. The gods decide not to antagonize him. Gaia proposes cautious talks about cooperation, arranged outside Green’s private Mist World.
• At the Lorenzo–Asgar border, Queen Cyrabelle rapidly mobilizes over 1.5 million troops and orders a fortified defensive line against anything emerging from Asgar.
• Green’s factories begin mass-producing Number One, a cheap, fast ultralight tank designed to threaten Transcendents. It sacrifices armor for mobility and firepower; production reaches 300 tanks a day, divided between Green’s forces and the Kingdom Army.
• Demons test Lorenzo’s defenses twice and are repelled, then turn on the politically weakened Rune Federation. The Federation’s slow response costs it three states, over 400,000 troops, and more than 30 million people before it can halt the invasion.
• The Abyssal aura corrupts conquered lands and their inhabitants, turning people and animals into monsters that attack the human lines. Amid the crisis, Green receives Apollo and the three gods in Lorraine City.

Character developments and interactions

• Gaia emerges as the practical leader of the gods’ fragile alliance, arguing for caution and cooperation with Undead rather than provocation.
• Apollo recognizes that his earlier account understated the danger and agrees to contact Green carefully.
• The God of Death and Mechanical God accept Gaia’s leadership because their weakened alliance cannot afford internal conflict.
• Green demonstrates strategic ingenuity by tailoring inexpensive weapons to this world’s battlefield rather than copying Earth’s heavy tanks.
• Cyrabelle’s military reforms are shown to have strengthened Lorenzo’s army, while the Rune Federation’s lack of decisive leadership leaves it vulnerable.

Significant themes

• Power and deterrence: Even gods must respect a weapon capable of killing them.
• Pragmatic cooperation: Rivals set aside ambition when survival is at stake.
• Adaptation and innovation: Green’s tank design prioritizes battlefield effectiveness and affordability over conventional protection.
• Leadership and political systems: Lorenzo’s rapid command contrasts with the Federation’s indecision, with devastating consequences.
• The escalating cost of invasion: Demonic conquest does not merely seize territory; it transforms it into a source of further attacks.

Plot points and events

• Green decides against exploring the White Dragon King’s lair, wary of provoking the powerful Frostwing.
• Apollo, Gaia, and two other Deities visit Green’s castle. They recognize him as the same person they encountered in the Mist World.
• When Gaia tests Green with Divine Power, he reveals a concealed, near-critical solar Psychic Energy device beneath the reception hall. Green presents it as the new Dongfeng Two hydrogen bomb, more than ten times as powerful as Dongfeng One.
• The Deities ask to buy the weapon but cannot meet Green’s price, so they purchase several Dongfeng One missiles instead.
• After they leave, Green admits the Dongfeng Two display was a bluff: its five-second detonation delay would give a Deity time to escape. He will not sell it until he fixes the flaw.
• Archbishop Link arrives in person to propose a partnership. Green welcomes him, seeing the wealthy Holy Light Church as a more promising customer than the Deities.
• The chapter outlines Link’s predicament: Hades’s forces have seized two Void Worlds and are attacking the Church’s Number Forty-Four Void World. Link must repel them to earn the pontificate, while Saint Fran has withdrawn and the Lord of Light is preoccupied with Zeus, the newly born Titan God King.

Character developments and interactions

• Green moves from cautious concealment to open, confident bargaining. His weapons give him leverage with the Deities, though he privately knows his most intimidating device is not yet battle-ready.
• Apollo is startled to discover Green’s identity and recognizes the improved bomb’s danger.
• Gaia tries to assert authority, but Green’s countermeasure forces her to withdraw. She then negotiates, though the Deities cannot afford the weapon.
• Archbishop Link approaches Green with careful respect. Though frustrated by his diminishing standing among powerful beings, he adapts and pursues an alliance to protect the Church and advance his own career.

Significant themes

• Power and leverage: Green’s weapons allow a human to negotiate with Deities as an equal.
• Appearance versus reality: Green’s bomb seems decisive, but its delay makes it less useful than it appears; likewise, political roles conceal private motives and vulnerabilities.
• Ambition under pressure: Link’s chance to become Pontiff depends on winning a dangerous war, while larger conflicts threaten to overwhelm the Church.
• Pragmatic alliances: Green evaluates partners by their resources and needs, while Link seeks cooperation out of necessity.

Plot points and events

• The Lord of Light is occupied by Zeus’s sudden return, leaving the Holy Light Church without divine support. At the same time, Poseidon’s rise puts the Divine Eagle Empire under attack, as he unleashes a tsunami and sends sea kings into its territory.
• Archbishop Link visits Green to buy Dongfeng missiles, hoping to obtain a weapon capable of threatening Saint Spirit Rank enemies. Green insists on bundling them with other costly arms. Facing mounting battlefield losses, Link eventually accepts the deal and leaves with four Dongfeng Ones.
• News arrives that the Church has been badly defeated by the Underworld King’s army: more than a third of its frontline troops and nine Calamity-Rank fighters are lost. The enemy’s Saint Spirit Rank champion has badly shaken Church morale.
• Link’s return restores some confidence. That night, a Dongfeng One strikes the enemy camp. Its improved space-traversal array lets it appear near the Saint Spirit Rank target; Link detonates it before it can reach him directly.
• The blast devastates a vast area and gravely injures the target, though he survives. Link follows up with a powerful golden sword strike, severing the enemy’s legs as he tries to flee.
• As the wounded fighter escapes, dozens of Holy Light attacks descend on him. The chapter ends before their effect is revealed.

Character developments and interactions

• Green proves a hard-nosed, calculating seller, using his knowledge of Link’s desperate position to secure a broader sale. He frames the deal as mutually beneficial rather than a victory over his customer.
• Link shifts from cautious bargaining to decisive action once the Church’s crisis becomes clear. Despite being below Saint Spirit Rank, he combines the missile strike with his own attack and coordinates a final barrage.
• The enemy champion goes from seemingly untouchable to fearful and badly wounded. His survival underscores both his resilience and the unprecedented danger posed by the missile.
• Link and Green’s tense negotiation reflects mutual awareness: Green knows Link needs the weapon, while Link recognizes that buying it may determine his political and military future.

Significant themes

• Technology reshapes the balance of power: a human-made superweapon can injure even a Saint Spirit Rank fighter, challenging the supremacy of extraordinary individuals.
• War and desperation: devastating losses push Link to accept an expensive deal and force the Church’s weakened forces to keep fighting.
• Commerce and leverage: Green’s arms deal is driven by profit, while Link treats the weapons as essential to survival—and potentially to his ambition of becoming Pontiff.
• Faith without divine protection: with the Lord of Light distracted, the Church must rely on its leaders, troops, and purchased weapons.

Key plot points and events

• The Holy Light Church uses Dongfeng One at full power to wear down a Saint Spirit Rank fighter. Archbishop Link then kills him with a massive sword of light, turning the tide of the battle.
• The Church rallies and drives the Underworld King’s army back, but another Saint Spirit Rank fighter stabilizes the front. Both forces have suffered heavy losses, and the fighting settles into a stalemate.
• In the Main World, Green watches the battle through ghost sentries. He concludes that Saint Spirit Rank is far beyond Calamity Rank and that Link’s victory depended on surprise and the enemy’s overconfidence.
• Concerned that his forces lack top-tier fighters, Green plans to boost their power through technology: converting the Bone Dragon Mecha’s Divine Power Core into a Solar Core, strengthening its structure, and upgrading other mechs for Talaga, Great Ape King, and Claire.
• Green’s urgency stems from the approaching Divine War and Zeus’s return. He fears that a united Titan pantheon could defeat the divided New Gods and suppress alchemy technology, which Green has invested in.
• At dawn, the Holy Light Church and the Underworld King’s army resume their battle. Link allows the Church’s troops to endure an extended artillery bombardment, then orders a counterattack with concealed Enchanted Cannons and bombers purchased from Green.

Character developments and interactions

• Archbishop Link gains confidence in Dongfeng One’s potential, but recognizes that its success against a Saint Spirit Rank fighter depended on favorable circumstances. On the renewed battlefield, he shows discipline and tactical patience, waiting to strike until the enemy begins its infantry assault.
• Green becomes more conscious of his own military vulnerability and the gulf between his rank and the emerging Saint Spirit powerhouses. Rather than relying on personal advancement, he turns to technological enhancements and arms sales.
• The new Underworld King’s commander acts more cautiously than the fighter who died: he avoids a reckless counterattack and focuses on holding the line.
• Gaia and Apollo are politically estranged from Zeus’s emerging Titan order. Gaia’s weakened state and position as Zeus’s grandmother make her return dangerous; Apollo’s past betrayal makes him unwelcome.
• Green’s relationships with Link and the Four Gods Alliance are shaped by shared strategic interests: he sells weapons to Link and is willing to trade with Gaia, Apollo, the God of Death, and the Mechanical God.

Significant themes

• Power and its limits: A superweapon can overcome a vast rank difference, but only under the right conditions; Saint Spirit Rank remains extraordinarily formidable.
• Technology as a substitute for strength: Green seeks to compensate for the shortage of powerful allies by upgrading mechs and supplying advanced weapons.
• War’s human cost and tactical calculation: Millions fight while lives are treated as expendable; commanders balance casualties against battlefield advantage.
• Political alignment through self-interest: Green supports the New Gods not out of simple loyalty, but because Titan victory could threaten alchemy and the nations developing it.
• Unity versus fragmentation: The New Gods’ lack of a coherent pantheon contrasts with the Titans’ possible reunification under Zeus, shifting the balance of the Divine War.

Key plot points and events

• On the main battlefield, Archbishop Link unleashes newly trained Church pilots in aircraft escorted by Griffin Cavalry. Their enchanted bombs devastate the Underworld King’s forces, but the enemy keeps advancing, driven by religious fervor and an acceptance of death.
• Watching through a Ghost sentry, Green reflects on how the Divine War is far more savage than earlier conflicts. The scale of danger makes him feel vulnerable despite his past success. He has developed the immensely powerful Hydrogen Bomb, but doubts it could reliably hit a god; he now sees reaching Saint Spirit Rank as essential to survival.
• In a Void World near the Mist World, Modi’s Revolutionary Army is surprised by the arrival of more than ten thousand soldiers serving Sea God Poseidon. Facing heavy losses and the possibility of a Saint Spirit Rank commander, Modi decides to draw the invaders toward a nearby ruin guarded by powerful Undead, hoping the two forces will weaken each other.
• Modi assigns Aldin, a trusted former baron and revolutionary, to lead eight hundred troops and lure the Sea God’s army to the ruin. Aldin accepts despite the danger, then enters a Revolutionary Army hideout village to gather intelligence. When his contact fails to return, gunfire and a surge of Psychic Energy erupt nearby.

Character developments and interactions

• Green loses some of his confidence and recognizes the limits of his power and inventions. The war renews his determination to grow stronger.
• Modi remains committed to revolution, viewing the Divine War as a rare chance to overthrow entrenched religious and noble power. He believes hardship will strengthen Aldin, though he is willing to risk Aldin as bait.
• Aldin has become a disciplined, devoted revolutionary, marked by the loss of one eye. He is determined to fulfill his mission while avoiding needless deaths among his soldiers.
• Arudika, the Golden Dragon Girl, worries that Aldin may be outmatched. She also carries the news that the Dragon God plans to enter the war and wants to meet Modi.
• Modi and Arudika discuss Aldin’s assignment: Modi defends it as a chance for him to mature, while Arudika remains uneasy.

Significant themes

• The brutality of war: Faith and zeal can sustain armies even amid catastrophic losses, while even elite fighters are vulnerable.
• Power and vulnerability: Green’s weapons offer limited security against divine opponents; survival demands genuine personal strength.
• Revolution and sacrifice: Modi sees bloodshed as inseparable from revolution and treats the chaos of the Divine War as an opportunity.
• Leadership and risk: Modi’s faith in Aldin clashes with Arudika’s concern, highlighting the cost of preparing people for responsibility in wartime.

Plot points and events

• Revolutionary Army officer Aldin senses a Calamity-Rank enemy approaching and suspects the operation has been betrayed. He hides in an escape passage beneath a wardrobe, a precaution taught by his mentor, Modi.
• Orc soldiers allied with the Sea King’s forces overrun the village. Their commander, Sea Knight Wikina, has become a Calamity-Rank Sea Folk through Poseidon’s power.
• Wikina executes a captured Revolutionary Army officer who offers to defect, making clear that prisoners must surrender or die. He then forces a major to guide him to the Tomb of Anubis.
• The Orcs and Sea God’s forces head for the tomb. Wikina reveals his religious allegiance: he believes the Sea King’s cause is part of the Titans’ struggle against the “False Gods.”
• Aldin escapes but finds the nearby city destroyed and Modi missing. He realizes the Revolutionary Army has changed its communications after a traitor exposed them.
• Cut off from his comrades and unable to leave the Void World alone, Aldin decides to seek the tomb, hoping its rumored passage to other Void Worlds can help him escape. He reaches it after Wikina’s forces have taken the entrance.
• As Aldin watches Wikina enter with an elite group, Wikina senses him and turns toward his hiding place.

Character developments and interactions

• Aldin proves cautious and resourceful, then shows resolve despite isolation and the destruction of his allies’ position. His encounter with the tomb becomes both a survival strategy and a possible route out.
• Wikina is an uncompromising, devout Sea King servant. Though his Calamity-Rank power came at the cost of his future potential, he sees the promotion as a gift and dismisses the danger of the tomb.
• Aldin and his subordinates: Aldin regards his men as expendable tools; they rush into battle unaware of the threat and are likely killed.
• Wikina and the prisoners: He rejects negotiation, kills a would-be defector, and coerces another prisoner into guiding him.
• Aldin and Modi: Modi is absent, but his training—especially the escape-route habit—saves Aldin’s life.

Significant themes

• Betrayal and secrecy: The exposed operation and changed communications show how treachery can fracture the Revolutionary Army.
• Faith and power: Wikina’s transformation through Poseidon’s divine power illustrates the costs and convictions tied to supernatural advancement.
• Survival and commitment: Aldin’s desperate circumstances deepen rather than weaken his resolve to fight.
• Clashing powers and histories: The tomb connects the immediate conflict to the ancient defeat of the Sun God King and the ongoing struggle between the Titans and their rivals.

Key events

• Arudika arrives at the ruins, destroys the Orc guards, and reunites with Aldin. She confirms that the Mentor has left. Aldin reports that his men are gone and suspects a traitor, while Arudika quietly reflects that she had suspected him herself.
• Arudika decides to enter the ruins, reasoning that the Sea God’s and Orc forces can absorb the danger ahead. Aldin follows.
• On the second level, Wikina’s group faces lethal spatial distortions and powerful Undead. Wikina drives off a Calamity-Rank Undead but realizes the tomb is more dangerous than expected. Despite losing contact with the surface, he presses on to verify whether it is Anubis’s tomb.
• Wikina’s troops encounter Ailing and her mixed-species company. He orders an attack, and they are quickly overwhelmed. Ailing’s companions Bal and Diablo are killed; Bal sacrifices himself to help her escape.
• Wikina orders Rum to pursue Ailing. Rum resents Wikina and fears being used as expendable bait, so he and three trusted subordinates follow her cautiously.
• A violent upheaval reshapes the ruins. Ailing and her pursuers are pulled into a spatial rift and trapped inside a separate pocket world, a vast desert containing an oasis, rainforest, and city. The space they leave behind contracts into a tiny sphere, then a new second level forms. Wikina enters afterward, now separated from Ailing and Rum’s group.

Character developments and interactions

• Arudika acts decisively and reveals her practical, opportunistic approach to exploring the ruins. Her reunion with Aldin eases his fear, though she does not disclose her earlier suspicions of him.
• Aldin is shaken by the loss of his subordinates and believes there is a traitor among them. He trusts Arudika and follows her lead.
• Wikina remains focused on his mission despite danger and losses, and responds to uncertainty with force. His order to pursue Ailing also exposes his strained history with Rum.
• Ailing shifts from shock and grief to determined escape. Bal’s death gives her a chance to flee, but the ruins’ shifting spaces trap her.
• Rum obeys Wikina outwardly but privately resents him and takes a cautious approach to the pursuit. His subordinates share his understanding and follow his lead.

Significant themes

• Power and vulnerability: Even formidable leaders are challenged by the ruins, while Ailing’s group is devastated despite having advanced equipment.
• Betrayal and mistrust: Aldin’s suspicion of a traitor and Arudika’s doubts about him contrast with Rum’s concealed resentment toward Wikina.
• Sacrifice and loyalty: Bal gives his life to protect Ailing, underscoring the bonds within her group.
• Uncontrollable danger: The shifting spatial maze repeatedly separates people and makes the ruins as threatening as their enemies.

Key plot points and events

• The chapter reveals that the translucent spheres are separate spaces set into an enormous Magic Array. The ancient God of Death, Anubis, is using the array to draw World Origin from the Void World, with the creatures trapped in the spheres serving as keys.
• Anubis declares his hatred of the Titans and the “traitors” who displaced the ancient gods. Zeus, the Titans’ new God King, appears and destroys Anubis, whose weakened, crumbling body cannot resist him. The array continues running even after Zeus leaves.
• As Anubis dies, the spheres begin to crack and the spaces inside them collapse. Ailing’s desert environment fractures, forcing her and her pursuers to flee. Rum and the others are killed when their spaces shatter.
• The Silver King’s pendant releases silver light that protects Ailing from the collapse, though it is consumed in the process. She later wakes near the Magic Array and finds fragments of Divine Power and what appear to be a Deity’s remains.
• Ailing contacts Green through her Soul Link privileges. Green recognizes the remains as those of a very ancient and powerful Deity and hopes to recover valuable relics, but cannot pinpoint Ailing’s shifting location.
• In a separate sphere, Wikina invokes the Sea God’s protection. He and his subordinates escape when their space breaks apart, unharmed.

Character developments and interactions

• Anubis is revealed as a once-powerful High God now reduced to a frail Saint Spirit. His defiance of the Titans ends in his destruction by Zeus.
• Zeus treats Anubis as an obsolete relic and swiftly eliminates him.
• Ailing survives through the Silver King’s gift and shows caution and loyalty, choosing to report the Deity-related discovery to Green rather than investigate alone.
• Green recognizes the significance of Ailing’s discovery and sees an opportunity, but is frustrated by his inability to locate her.
• Wikina demonstrates his reliance on Poseidon’s protection to save himself and his group.
• Ailing’s pursuers briefly abandon their hunt when the space collapses, but panic and conflicting escape routes do not save them.

Significant themes

• The rise and fall of power: Anubis’s former divinity cannot protect him from the new order represented by Zeus.
• Survival and sacrifice: The pendant saves Ailing at the cost of itself, while others perish in the collapsing spaces.
• Loyalty and allegiance: Ailing’s sense of duty to Green reflects the influence of the Silver King and the Undead Empire.
• Opportunity amid catastrophe: Even in the aftermath of mass destruction, Green sees the Deity’s remains as a valuable prize.
