Chapter Summaries

Key plot points and events

• Green scatters Insect Race larvae across the Void to test whether the mysterious “They” will intervene. He waits to see how severely they respond before expanding the species openly.
• In a sealed chamber in the Mist World, Lisa uses Psychic Energy to help a pale-gray hive complete its transformation. The hive begins producing stronger larvae, freeing Lisa from having to lay eggs herself.
• The Graveyard system eventually identifies and incorporates the hive, surprising Green and making him question whether the Insect Race truly threatens “Them.”
• In the Main World, several powers acquire larvae and begin researching them. Lanting Kingdom—an otherwise obscure nation specializing in Biological Alchemy—successfully establishes a hive.
• As the Sea God’s forces overrun Lanting, the kingdom commits its remaining resources to the Insect Race. Its new troops win a sudden battle, destroying 30,000 Sea God soldiers and drawing worldwide attention.
• Green watches for a response from “Them.” After several days pass without incident, he concludes he can expand the Insect Race more freely. He plans to equip its units with Mecha to improve their durability and disguise them as War Machines.

Character developments and interactions

• Green acts cautiously and strategically, using the scattered larvae to test the limits of “Their” power. His relief at the lack of intervention is tempered by uncertainty about the Insect Race’s true significance. He also sees Mecha as a way to strengthen and conceal the creatures.
• Lisa successfully oversees the hive’s transformation and can now rely on it to produce larvae, rather than treating egg-laying as her own responsibility.
• Lanting Kingdom’s leaders and researchers shift from maintaining a low profile to risking everything on the hive when invasion threatens their survival.
• Green and Lisa work toward establishing the Mist World colony, while Green monitors how other powers—including Lanting—use the larvae and how “They” react.

Significant themes

• Risk and strategic caution: Green tests powerful forces indirectly before committing to a larger plan.
• Survival through innovation: Lanting turns a new technology into a desperate defense against annihilation.
• Power emerging from the overlooked: A small, obscure kingdom achieves a major victory with the Insect Race.
• Adaptation and concealment: Green intends to combine biological units with Mecha, improving their weaknesses while hiding what they are.

Plot points and events

• In the ruined former capital of Asgar, Demon Lord Dante meets Gaia. She proposes cooperation, arguing that although the Abyssal Demons are destined to lose the Divine War, Dante could still avoid defeat. Dante questions why he should trust her, and Gaia urges him to take a chance rather than accept the demons’ eventual punishment in Hellfire.
• Green’s secret Hive expands rapidly, producing over a thousand larvae daily. Under Zerg Queen Lisa’s orders, the insects are equipped with Mecha and disguised among Green’s robot forces. Their Mecha are rigged to self-destruct if defeat or capture threatens to expose the Insect Race.
• The Insect Race unexpectedly goes berserk in Lanting Kingdom after destroying the Sea God Legion there. It overruns the kingdom within days, killing almost all its population and leadership.
• The insects then invade neighboring Sison Kingdom. Sison loses a quarter of its territory and a fifth of its population before halting their advance. The conquered land is covered by Creep, which consumes living things and leaves little worth reclaiming.
• At the same time, Poseidon’s Sea God Legion attacks Sison. King Carter V is badly wounded by a Calamity-Rank enemy, but Emperor Kronwell of the Divine Eagle Empire intervenes, defeats a Saint Spirit Rank opponent, and forces the Sea God Legion back.
• The crisis ends, but the Divine Eagle Empire is badly weakened: Lanting is lost, Sison is crippled, and Sison must focus on defending its border against the insects rather than supporting the empire.

Character developments and interactions

• Gaia approaches Dante as a potential partner, speaking frankly about the demons’ likely defeat while offering him a way to improve his fate.
• Dante initially dismisses defeat as inevitable, but Gaia’s challenge makes him reconsider; his response is left unresolved.
• Green and Lisa continue building and concealing the Insect Race’s military power. The rampage in Lanting contrasts sharply with their controlled preparations.
• Carter V personally enters battle but cannot contain the crisis and is left severely wounded.
• Kronwell steps in to rescue Sison, demonstrating the empire’s military strength, though the intervention does not prevent major strategic losses.

Significant themes

• Power and control: The Insect Race, created and armed for war, becomes a force its human allies cannot control.
• Hidden motives and uneasy alliances: Gaia’s offer, Poseidon’s timely attack, and the insects’ sudden rampage suggest concealed plans and possible coordination.
• The cost of war: Entire populations and kingdoms are destroyed, while Creep makes conquered territory nearly irrecoverable.
• Defeat and agency: Gaia challenges Dante to seek a way forward instead of passively accepting an expected defeat.

Key plot points and events

• The Lorenzo Kingdom initially holds firm against the Abyssal Demons in Alsa Province. Green’s forces, especially the loyal and well-equipped Retainer Army, withstand the assault and launch a counterattack.
• Using Alsa as a foothold, General James strikes the demons’ flanks. The Lorenzo Kingdom surrounds more than 300,000 demon troops, defeats attempts to relieve them, and inflicts over 400,000 casualties.
• The defeat forces Dante to reconsider his confidence. His plan to quickly conquer Lorenzo and then join Gaia in a three-sided assault on the Divine Eagle Empire has faltered.
• Gaia agrees to give Dante technology for controlling the Insect Race and supplies larvae. Though her willingness makes him suspicious, Dante accepts, believing he can manage the creatures.
• Insect Race units soon join the front. More than 50,000 Zerglings and Hydralisks, supported by demons, break through a weak point in Lorenzo’s flank. The kingdom suffers its first major rout of the war: over 250,000 casualties and a retreat of more than 60 kilometers.
• Queen Cyrabelle is briefed on the new threat. Count Ferral recommends concentrating heavy weapons against the Insect Race, but Marshal Santos warns that their speed makes them difficult to target.

Character developments and interactions

• Dante is shaken by the failure of his campaign and forced to reinforce his army. His decision to accept Gaia’s aid reflects desperation, despite his doubts about her motives.
• Gaia appears unusually generous in sharing the Insect Race technology and larvae, leaving her true intentions uncertain.
• Cyrabelle responds gravely to the Insect Race’s arrival and turns to experienced counsel rather than immediately endorsing Ferral’s proposal.
• Count Ferral shows ambition and eagerness to prove himself, but recognizes his suggestion may be rash. He accepts Santos’s tactful criticism and appreciates that the marshal spares him public embarrassment.
• Marshal Santos balances support for Ferral’s basic idea with a realistic assessment of its practical limitations.
• Green’s forces, particularly the Retainer Army, demonstrate loyalty and battlefield effectiveness, helping create the opening for Lorenzo’s earlier counteroffensive.

Significant themes

• Overconfidence and miscalculation: Dante and Gaia underestimate Lorenzo’s strength, while Lorenzo’s early success gives way to a devastating setback when a new enemy enters the war.
• The changing nature of warfare: The Insect Race’s speed and toughness disrupt familiar tactics and expose the danger of relying on conventional weapons.
• Uncertain alliances: Gaia’s aid may be strategic rather than sincere, and cooperation between temporary allies carries risks.
• Leadership and restraint: Cyrabelle’s reliance on Santos and Ferral’s willingness to accept correction highlight the value of experience, judgment, and humility.

• Green’s strategic position: Green learns that the Insect Race has allied with the Abyssal Demons, but he is not alarmed: his own enhanced Insect Race army numbers over 300,000, supported by powerful robots. He chooses not to counterattack yet. A swift victory might lead the Divine Eagle Empire to send the Lorenzo Kingdom into the more dangerous war against Poseidon’s forces, and Green has other priorities.
• The Mist World revives: As the Terminal Stage ends, the Gray Mist clears and life returns. Green sends scouts to expand his Undead Empire’s territory, discovering that the Mist World is vast, rich in resources, and increasingly valuable. Since his Graveyard is there, he resolves to defend the world from any future rivals.
• A new Insect Race threat emerges: Green discovers a recently awakened Insect Tribe about 1,260 kilometers from the Graveyard. Its members had survived the world’s decline as dormant larvae. Lisa, the Insect Queen, says her higher genetic rank lets her command them; fully absorbing them would require complicated genetic alterations. Green orders her to bring the tribes under control quickly, with absorption to be considered later. Lisa readily accepts, eager to subdue them.
• A larger mystery is revealed: Far to the south, a rapidly growing rainforest conceals a gigantic, weakened Insect Race creature underground. It has a complete genetic sequence, unlike ordinary specialized units, and is being fed by workers through an extensive network of passages linking multiple tribes.
  Character developments and interactions: Green’s caution and long-term strategic thinking shape both his delay in the Main World war and his effort to secure the Mist World. He consults Lisa about her authority over the native insects, then entrusts her with the campaign. Lisa shows loyalty to Green and enthusiasm for dominating her own kind.
  Significant themes: The chapter emphasizes strategic restraint, the struggle to control valuable territory, and the Insect Race’s biological hierarchy. The Mist World’s revival transforms a forgotten place into a prize—and hints that a much greater Insect power is awakening.

Key plot points and events

• Lisa reports that a single Insect King is hiding in the Mist World. Unlike the many Insect Queens, he is the sole ruler of the Insect Race and carries its complete genetic sequence. At full strength, Green believes he could be at least as powerful as an ordinary deity.
• The Insect King is currently weak and depends on other insect tribes to feed him. Green orders an empire-wide search for his location and a campaign to subdue or destroy the tribes supplying him.
• Green assigns Selina to lead the search, Lisa to hunt down the tribes, and Penny to support Lisa with troops. He also has Black Claw prepare a stronger hydrogen bomb as a last resort, though using it would sacrifice the chance to obtain the Insect Race’s complete genetic sequence.
• The Undead Empire goes on First-Level Alert: forces are mobilized, production is accelerated, and young adults begin military training.
• Three hours later, a Centaur patrol is fleeing hundreds of Zerglings near a lake. They fear leading the insects back to their tribe or toward a nearby Orc camp.
• Alshfaro, now an adult Shadow Red Dragon, arrives with Lisa, more than ten thousand armored Wyverns, and an airship carrying insect troops in drop capsules. Alshfaro incinerates many pursuers with his dragon breath; the Wyverns destroy the survivors.
• Lisa dismounts and faces the Centaurs, whose next response is not shown in this excerpt.

Character developments and interactions

• Green responds decisively to the threat, coordinating a broad military effort while keeping the hydrogen bomb in reserve because of its cost.
• Selina is excited and proud that Green entrusts her with responsibility beyond her usual command of the Mechanical Crows.
• Lisa leads the anti-insect campaign and commands an increasingly formidable force. She rides Alshfaro, though he resents the arrangement and obeys only because of Green’s orders and the danger at stake.
• Alshfaro has grown into a stronger, larger adult dragon under Smedley Tawa’s guidance. His dramatic intervention rescues the Centaurs from the pursuing Zerglings.
• The Centaur captain and his soldiers show caution and responsibility, trying to protect their tribe and avoid drawing danger toward the Orcs.

Significant themes

• Preparedness and collective mobilization: The threat prompts the entire empire to shift rapidly to a wartime footing.
• Power balanced against cost: Green’s ultimate weapon could stop the Insect King but would forfeit a potentially valuable genetic prize.
• Loyalty and authority: Selina’s trust in Green and Alshfaro’s reluctant obedience demonstrate how command and allegiance shape the response.
• Escalating conflict and uneasy alliances: Insect activity endangers multiple peoples, while the Centaurs’ concern about harming the Orcs highlights how the crisis could spread beyond the Undead Empire.

Key plot points and events

• Guided by Centaurs, Lisa leads her forces to attack a large Insect Tribe supplying energy to the Insect King.
• The tribe responds with thousands of troops, including Hydralisks and a Mammoth, led by a Queen stronger than Lisa.
• Green’s armored Wyverns overwhelm the enemy’s defenses, while Airships drop waves of rocket-equipped Zerglings directly into the fighting. The tribe is destroyed in under half an hour.
• Lisa kills the opposing Queen and devours her, gaining part of her Gene Sequence. She discovers a dangerous milky-white substance inside the Queen that she cannot consume.
• Green identifies the substance as similar to corrosive Divine Power Crystals. He contains it with a Magic Field and brings it to the Graveyard for study.
• On entering the Graveyard, Green finds that the substance reacts violently, twisting and struggling against its restraint.

Character developments and interactions

• Lisa acts decisively and confidently as a commander. Though outmatched by the opposing Queen in strength, she wins with Alshfaro’s help and her army’s superior tactics. She also shows caution by avoiding the substance and reporting it to Green.
• Green uses the assault to weaken the Insect King’s supply network, then shifts from commander to investigator when Lisa reports her discovery. His curiosity is tempered by caution.
• Lisa and Green cooperate through Visual Synchronization and direct reporting. Green gives Lisa further orders to alert him if she finds similar material.
• The opposing Queen rallies her inexperienced tribe but is isolated by Lisa and defeated.

Significant themes

• Technology and tactics overcome raw force: Green’s armor, air raids, and troop drops defeat a large enemy quickly.
• Adaptation through consumption: Devouring can grant Gene Sequences, but the gains are partial and fragmented, encouraging conflict among insects.
• Caution around unknown power: The white substance appears valuable but corrosive, and its reaction in the Graveyard suggests it may have broader significance.
• War as both strategy and acquisition: Lisa’s attack serves Green’s campaign against the Insect King while also offering a chance to gain new abilities.

Plot points and events

• Green tests an unknown white substance found on an Insect Queen. Unable to identify what triggered its reaction, he suspects the Graveyard itself.
• He separates a tiny sample and releases it inside the Graveyard. It moves toward the Town Hall, merges into its wall, and disappears. Green senses no harm and suspects the Graveyard may have grown slightly stronger, but refuses to risk using more.
• Green asks Lisa to keep collecting the substance and sends samples to Black Claw, Princess Mulesina, and Archbishop Link for identification. Mulesina and Link both urgently ask how he obtained it, signaling its rarity.
• Green invites them to the Mist World. He shows them the Undead Empire’s capital, but deliberately keeps the Graveyard hidden. Mulesina is astonished by the empire’s scale and strength; Link, already familiar with it, is still shaken by its full mobilization and industrial capacity.
• Mulesina identifies the substance as Void Milk, a legendary liquid said to have formed with the Void. Stories claim the first Void deities gained their power after drinking it. It is believed to be nearly exhausted, and the last deity said to have consumed it was Lonanks, the former Titan God King.

Character developments and interactions

• Green is cautious but curious: he investigates the substance, limits its exposure to the Graveyard, and seeks expert advice. He recognizes that distributing samples may have revealed too much, especially by involving Link alongside Mulesina.
• Princess Mulesina moves from disbelief at Green’s hidden empire to gratitude that the Lorenzo Kingdom and Prady Lineage have a powerful ally. Her reaction also reveals how far Green has advanced since their early work together.
• Archbishop Link is impressed despite already knowing about the Mist World; the empire’s production lines and military strength exceed even his expectations.
• Green’s meetings with Mulesina and Link establish a more open relationship with both powers as the Divine War intensifies.

Significant themes

• Power hidden behind appearances: Green’s modest public position contrasts with the immense empire he has built.
• Discovery and caution: The Void Milk may strengthen the Graveyard, but Green avoids exploiting something he does not understand.
• Alliance and trust: Green’s growing openness about the Mist World reflects the strategic need for allies, while the visitors’ reactions reveal the political importance of his strength.

Key events

• Green welcomes Archbishop Link, hoping to learn the Holy Light Church’s records on the substance he knows as the Milk of the Void and to negotiate access to the Church’s raw materials.
• The Church calls it Holy Tears. Link eventually admits he urgently needs it and asks to buy Green’s supply.
• Green agrees to give Link half, provided Link reveals how to purify and safely use it. Link explains that untreated Holy Tears are deadly—even to a Demigod—and accepts the exchange.
• Green also proposes trading weapons and Mechas for raw materials from the Church’s many Void Worlds. Under pressure from heavy losses in its war against Hades’s forces, Link readily agrees.
• Link’s trusted subordinate brings an ancient scroll containing the purification method. Green may copy it, and Link will demonstrate the process by purifying and consuming some Holy Tears himself.

Character developments and interactions

• Green uses patience and leverage to secure both the secret technique and a supply deal. He is cautious about trusting the Church to process his share, insisting on learning the method himself.
• Archbishop Link drops his earlier pretense that the Holy Tears are unimportant, revealing his desperation to grow stronger and survive the coming Divine War. He is also pragmatic enough to reconsider the Church’s traditional reliance on faith and fighting spirit over equipment.
• Their negotiations are restrained but direct: Green waits Link out, while Link ultimately yields because he needs the substance. Both leave the bargains satisfied.

Significant themes

• Pragmatism in wartime: Military need pushes the Church to adopt Mechas and prioritize equipment despite its old doctrine.
• Trust, secrecy, and leverage: Each side trades something valuable, but Green safeguards himself by demanding the purification knowledge rather than relying on Link.
• The costs of survival: Link’s pursuit of advancement and the Church’s willingness to trade reflect the escalating danger and losses of the Divine War.

• The Holy Tears and Void Milk are purified: Archbishop Link leaves the Mist World with half the undiluted Holy Tears. Green purifies the remaining supply himself, using more precise instruments than Link. The purified substances must be injected into a blood vessel; their potency can damage nearby vessels, though Calamity Rank bodies can heal the damage.
• Mrs. Hilgaf tests the Void Milk extract: Green is unwilling to risk testing it on himself, so Mrs. Hilgaf volunteers, valuing strength more than safety. She receives five milliliters in two injections. The first produces warmth and a rapid rise in Psychic Energy; the second causes intense, burning heat, which she endures without complaint.
• A dramatic advancement: The extract carries Mrs. Hilgaf past the Legendary Rank barrier into Calamity Rank, then continues working until she reaches Mid Calamity Rank. She suffers no lasting discomfort or instability. A damaged abdominal vessel heals quickly, and her battle scars disappear as she regains a youthful appearance.
• Green proceeds cautiously: Impressed by the result, Green has technicians examine Mrs. Hilgaf and plans to monitor her for three days before using the extract himself. He orders Lisa to intensify the campaign against the Insect Tribe to find more Void Milk, suspecting it could influence the Divine War and may explain why “They” focus on the Insect Race.
• Link acts immediately: Back at the Holy Sanctuary, Archbishop Link does not share Green’s reservations. He purifies the Void Milk and injects it into himself at once.
  Character developments and interactions: Mrs. Hilgaf’s courage and hunger for power are demonstrated through her willingness to undergo the risky trial. Green balances excitement with scientific caution, while his interaction with Mrs. Hilgaf is built around her consent and his careful supervision. Link’s willingness to inject the substance without waiting contrasts with Green’s more measured approach.
  Themes: The chapter explores the lure of power and the risks people accept to gain it; the tension between caution and ambition; and the possibility that a newly discovered substance could alter the balance of a larger war.

Key plot points and events

• Archbishop Link injects all the purified Holy Tears directly into his heart, enduring a brief but severe reaction. The Tears propel him from Calamity Rank to Saint Spirit Rank and then to the peak of Saint Spirit Initial Rank, though he fails to reach the Intermediate Rank.
• Link decides not to ask Green for more Tears. He considers them exceptionally rare and values Green as an arms supplier and potential ally.
• Pontiff Saint Fran arrives and learns of Link’s breakthrough and Green’s role. Link tells him how he obtained the Tears.
• With the Holy Light Church under pressure from the Underworld King Legion and short on allies, Link plans a counterattack. Green is due to deliver 50,000 Mechas, which Link intends to equip the Holy Light Knight Corps with before they strike. Saint Fran agrees to send Pradi and the Dark Holy Crusaders to support the flank.

Character developments and interactions

• Link becomes far more powerful and confident. He had taken the Tears partly to prevent Saint Fran from claiming them, but after his breakthrough he can stand on comparable footing with his teacher. He also shows strategic restraint by protecting his relationship with Green.
• Saint Fran is pleased by Link’s advancement, recognizing that it strengthens the Church and frees him from some of its burdens. Though he regrets missing the chance to obtain the Tears, he accepts the situation and offers military support.
• Green does not appear, but his weapons and alliance are central to Link’s plans.

Significant themes

• Power gained through sacrifice: Link accepts intense pain to maximize the Tears’ effects.
• Pragmatism and alliance: Link recognizes that military supplies and trustworthy allies matter alongside personal strength.
• The cost of isolation: The Church’s aggressive expansion has left it without dependable allies, worsening its position in the war.
• Retaliation and honor: Link’s new strength gives him the chance to answer the Church’s recent losses with a counterattack.

Key plot points and events

• Pontiff Saint Fran asks Archbishop Link to assess Green. Fran had previously dismissed him as another temporarily lucky “protagonist,” but Green’s acquisition of the Holy Tears has made him take Green seriously.
• Link believes Green’s success comes from more than luck and senses that his ideals may align with theirs. Fran agrees to monitor him.
• Green injects himself with purified Void Milk extract in four controlled doses, using an artery near the heart rather than injecting directly into the heart.
• The first two doses raise him to High Calamity Rank. He reaches its peak, but repeated attempts to advance to Saint Spirit Rank fail as the Void Milk’s effects begin to fade.
• Green then upgrades the Graveyard’s Town Center. The upgrade drains Psychic Energy and expands the nebula representing his Revolving Starry Sky Meditation Method.
• The Graveyard’s power boosts his Meditation Method while the Void Milk’s effects remain, allowing him to break through to Saint Spirit Rank. He awakens to a world that feels fundamentally changed.

Character developments

• Pontiff Saint Fran shifts from dismissing Green as merely lucky to recognizing that he may be exceptional, though he remains cautious.
• Archbishop Link expresses confidence that Green is not their enemy and may share their ideals.
• Green shows methodical risk management in how he administers the Void Milk, then persists after several failed breakthroughs by using the Graveyard’s upgrade as an alternative path.

Significant themes

• Luck versus genuine ability: Green may possess something beyond the temporary fortune associated with “protagonists.”
• Transformation through power: Reaching Saint Spirit Rank marks a profound inner change—the first step from mortal toward Deity—even if the outward change is subtle.
• Experimentation and risk: Green combines research, careful dosing, and strategic use of the Graveyard to pursue advancement.
• Failure and adaptation: When the Void Milk alone proves insufficient, Green changes course rather than giving up.

Character interactions

• Fran consults Link about Green, and Link offers a more favorable interpretation than Fran’s initial skepticism.
• Fran accepts Link’s assessment but instructs him to keep watch over Green; Link promises to do so.
• Green’s main struggle is internal: he contends with the Void Milk’s physical effects and failed breakthroughs, then relies on the Graveyard to complete his advancement.

Plot points and events

• After reaching Saint Spirit Rank, Green undergoes several days of painful bodily transformation. His Necromancer traits fade, restoring his human appearance as he gains a measure of Divinity.
• Once the process ends, he feels an overwhelming surge of Psychic Energy but reminds himself that far stronger beings exist above him.
• Princess Mulesina is astonished by Green’s changed appearance and realizes he has advanced to Saint Spirit Rank.
• Green explains that Void Milk and his trade with Archbishop Link enabled his advancement. Mulesina returns the Void Milk he had previously given her, believing it is too valuable to keep.
• Green converts it into an extract and gives her two milliliters. Mulesina injects it directly into her heart, triggering an immediate rise from Early to Mid Calamity Rank and further strengthening her.
• After recovering, she asks Green why he gave her something so precious.

Character developments

• Green completes his transformation, becoming more powerful and outwardly human-looking. Though briefly exhilarated by his strength, he retains perspective about the limits of his power. He is also generous with a resource he no longer needs.
• Mulesina moves from disbelief and excitement to caution when she understands the Void Milk’s rarity. Her trust in Green is clear: she accepts his gift and injects it into her heart without hesitation.

Significant themes

• Transformation and identity: Green’s shift toward divinity coincides with the disappearance of his undead traits and a return to human appearance.
• Power and perspective: Green’s new strength feels limitless, but the hierarchy above him keeps his ambition grounded.
• Trust and generosity: Green shares a rare enhancement with Mulesina, while her willingness to risk a dangerous injection reflects her faith in him.

Character interactions

• Mulesina reacts emotionally to Green’s advancement, grabbing his arm as she questions him; he openly explains how it happened.
• She tries to return the Void Milk rather than claim an unfair share, but Green instead gives her a prepared extract.
• Green advises her on how to inject it and watches from a distance as she undergoes the dangerous advancement. Their exchange ends with Mulesina questioning his generosity.

Key plot points

• Princess Mulesina reflects on her sudden rise to Mid Calamity Rank, recognizing that Green’s Void Milk extract changed her future. She suspects he expects something in return.
• Green asks her and the Undead under her command to become followers of Anubis.
• Green summons Anubis, stunning Mulesina, who discovers that the legendary God of Death is bound to Green and addresses him as his “Higher Contractee.”
• Green asks Anubis to accept Mulesina as a follower, which would make Anubis Green’s Lesser God. Anubis objects because their original agreement promised him eventual freedom.
• Green demonstrates that he has begun forming his own Divinity and Divine Core. By combining his Saint Spirit Rank power with the Graveyard’s Divine Altar, he can purify and absorb divine essence.
• Realizing Green now has the means to destroy him—and that he himself is weakened—Anubis must decide whether to resist or accept a subordinate role.

Character developments and interactions

• Mulesina is thoughtful and pragmatic: she neither assumes Green’s help is romantic nor expects it to be unconditional. Her astonishment grows as she witnesses Anubis’s appearance and submission to Green.
• Green reveals greater ambition and power. He is willing to revise his arrangement with Anubis now that his own divine potential has begun to emerge.
• Anubis shifts from confidence in his eventual freedom to serious uncertainty. He recognizes that Green’s newfound divine development changes the balance of power.
• The chapter’s central interaction is Green’s negotiation with Anubis, observed by Mulesina, who is caught between accepting a major benefit and understanding the extraordinary forces behind it.

Significant themes

• Power and obligation: Great gifts come with expectations, and agreements may be renegotiated when power shifts.
• Transformation and potential: Green’s advance to Saint Spirit Rank opens the path toward godhood, while the Void Milk changes Mulesina’s prospects.
• Freedom versus survival: Anubis must choose between resisting Green and preserving himself by accepting a lesser position.
• Unequal power: The chapter shows how quickly confidence and bargaining power can collapse when one party gains a decisive advantage.

Plot points

• Anubis senses that Green could permanently destroy his soul and decides not to challenge him. He accepts Green’s offer to become a Lesser God, regaining access to Divine Power while becoming subject to Green’s control.
• Green completes the allegiance ritual, welcoming Anubis as his subordinate. Princess Mulesina witnesses the scene and is shocked that an ancient deity has sworn loyalty to Green.
• Green asks Mulesina to have the Undead under her command worship Anubis. She agrees, and Green explains his plan to establish a Virtual Divine Kingdom in the Mist World.
• The kingdom would strengthen its Undead inhabitants and gather the Death Psychic Energy they produce. Green hopes to recruit many more Undead through Necromancers who bought Bone Dragons from Gemu Company, offering divine protection and a refuge for souls after death.
• Green leaves the detailed planning to Anubis and Mulesina, then resumes searching for Void Milk, whose value he now understands more clearly.

Character developments and interactions

• Anubis shifts from wary resistance to strategic submission. Though restored by Green’s Divine Power, he remains dependent on Green, who can withdraw it.
• Green demonstrates overwhelming authority and turns Anubis’s allegiance into part of a broader plan to rebuild a Death-centered power base.
• Princess Mulesina moves from disbelief and fear to cooperation. She recognizes the importance of her Undead following and agrees to help.
• Anubis is careful not to antagonize Mulesina, recognizing her closeness to Green could make her influential.

Significant themes

• Power and submission: Even ancient deities must yield to greater strength; Anubis treats deference as practical survival.
• Faith as a source of power: Undead worship and psychic energy can sustain a deity and his kingdom.
• Strategic protection and loyalty: Green’s proposed refuge gives future followers a reason to serve Anubis.
• Ambition and resource gathering: Green’s plans for the Divine Kingdom develop alongside his pursuit of Void Milk.

Key plot points and events

• Anubis and Princess Mulesina plan how to establish Anubis’s virtual Divine Kingdom in a cold region north of the Undead Empire. Green has arranged for Claire and the Titan Colossus to help mark out the territory.
• Rather than directly recruiting worshippers, Mulesina proposes a service for Necromancers: they can store their neglected undead in the Divine Kingdom and summon equivalent forces through a dedicated portal when needed.
• Anubis recognizes that the stored undead could supply Death Aura and generate faith he can absorb. He also expects undead who worship him to gain combat strength, making the service appealing to Necromancers.
• Mulesina returns to the Main World and mobilizes Gemu Company’s management and thousands of sales staff to market the service. She handles the most powerful Necromancers personally.
• Elsewhere, Zerg Queen Lisa watches a large Insect Tribe for five days instead of attacking. When Alshfaro questions the delay, she says she senses the tribe is unusual and may lead to another appearance of something they previously encountered.

Character developments and interactions

• Mulesina shows strategic and commercial ingenuity, reframing faith as a practical storage-and-summoning service. Having witnessed Green’s power, she now calls him “His Majesty.”
• Anubis is wary of Mulesina’s challenge but listens calmly and adopts her plan after considering its religious and military advantages.
• Alshfaro worries that Lisa’s delay risks disobeying Green’s orders. Lisa remains confident in her instincts, and her explanation immediately captures Alshfaro’s interest.
• Mulesina and Anubis work collaboratively, combining her business insight with his knowledge of death and divine faith.

Significant themes

• Pragmatism over traditional belief: The plan avoids asking people to change religions and instead offers a useful service.
• Faith as an institution and resource: Undead can produce faith, while the Divine Kingdom can convert that faith and Death Aura into divine power.
• Trust and authority: Characters act under Green’s direction, while also relying on their own judgment to carry out his broader aims.

Key plot points and events

• Alshfaro and Zerg Queen Lisa wait near an unfamiliar Insect Tribe, hoping to learn why Lisa senses something unusual.
• They witness the tribe forcing Zerglings into successive one-on-one fights. The final survivor is much larger and stronger than an ordinary Zergling; its wounds heal in a burst of white light, and its power increases.
• When the tribe’s Queen approaches, the Zergling resists rather than submit. The Queen kills it and drains its brain and bodily fluids through a hidden inner mouth—an ability Lisa suspects may be connected to producing Void Milk.
• Lisa orders an immediate assault before the Queen can return to her Hive. Alshfaro leads the Wyverns and concealed Airships into battle, while Lisa’s Mecha-equipped forces attack below.
• Lisa and Alshfaro trap the Queen but hold back from killing her, hoping to preserve any Void Milk she may have. Lisa reports the discovery to Green, who teleports to the front line.

Character developments and interactions

• Lisa shows strong instincts and curiosity, recognizing that the tribe’s behavior and the Queen’s biology are unusual. She takes command decisively but restrains her attack to protect the possibility of recovering Void Milk.
• Alshfaro is eager for the potential reward but respects Lisa’s judgment, waits patiently, and then supports her plan in battle.
• Green responds immediately to Lisa’s report, renewing his hopes after searching many tribes without success.
• The unusual Zergling stands out as an apparent product of a brutal selection process: it becomes stronger and heals, yet still fights back against its Queen. Its resistance surprises Lisa.

Significant themes

• Evolution through violence: The tribe’s combat ritual appears to produce a powerful survivor, suggesting that brutality is part of its evolutionary process.
• Unfamiliar forms of life and power: The Queen’s hidden feeding organ and possible link to Void Milk reveal biological traits even Lisa does not understand.
• Patience and calculated risk: Lisa and Alshfaro observe before acting, then choose containment over a potentially destructive fight so they can pursue a greater prize.

Key plot points and events

• Green arrives as a Saint Spirit Rank powerhouse and easily knocks out the Insect Queen after she overwhelms Lisa and Alshfaro and tears through the Zerglings.
• Suspecting the Queen used Void Milk, Green asks Lisa to examine her, then investigates the Hive. He seals the entire structure away just before its underground passage contracts and vanishes.
• Green realizes the disappearing passages explain why the Insect King has remained hidden. He believes that wiping out the Insect Tribes will weaken the King by preventing its recovery.
• Lisa finds Void Milk between the Queen’s vertebrae, though the amount is only about a third of their previous discovery. She also tastes a brief warmth in the Queen’s blood, but the sensation quickly fades.
• Green extracts the Void Milk. Although it could help him advance to Saint Spirit Intermediate Rank, he decides to wait until his strength stabilizes, concerned that rapid advancement may leave hidden risks.
• Lisa begins carefully dissecting the Queen to investigate her unusual internal anatomy.

Character developments and interactions

• Green demonstrates overwhelming new power, combining the abilities of a warrior and mage. He prioritizes the Void Milk but also uncovers a possible clue to finding the Insect King. His caution about advancement shows he is thinking beyond immediate gains.
• Lisa is driven by both practical goals and scientific curiosity. She fights the Queen, consumes some of her tissue hoping to acquire new genes, and later studies her body because its unusual organ structure cannot be explained by their apparently identical Gene Sequences.
• Alshfaro and Lisa are forced back by the Queen’s sudden power surge; Green intervenes before she can escape or cause further damage. Afterward, he praises Lisa for finding the Void Milk.

Significant themes

• Power and its risks: Greater strength can bring new possibilities, but advancement without a stable foundation may have serious consequences.
• Discovery through conflict: The battle yields both a valuable resource and a clue about the Insect King’s hidden network.
• Curiosity and the unknown: Lisa’s investigation highlights how much remains unexplained about the Insects—even when their genetic makeup appears familiar.

Plot points and events

• An autopsy reveals that the small mouth inside the Insect Queen’s mouth is a large parasite, likely connected to the Void Milk produced in her body.
• Green takes the barely living parasite to the Graveyard and spends nearly 200,000 Psychic Energy trying to convert it into an undead creature. The attempt fails, but the energy restores some of its vitality.
• Researchers find that the parasite’s genetic material appears nonsensical, even though it remains alive. Green suspects it may come from a higher dimension and cannot be understood within the Void.
• He wonders whether the mysterious “Them” value the Insect Race because of its parasites. To keep the discovery secret, he decides to use the parasite experimentally rather than wait to understand it.
• Green orders Lisa and Alshfaro to capture another Insect Queen. After refining Void Milk, he rewards them with some of the extract. Lisa and Alshfaro grow stronger, and Alshfaro’s Shadow Red Dragon reaches the peak of Legendary Rank.
• The pair find a badly damaged, tiny Insect Tribe. Green arrives, has Devil Vine locate and attack the Hive’s hidden underground passage, then confronts the wounded queen and forces the parasite into her mouth.

Character developments and interactions

• Green responds to the parasite’s inexplicable nature with curiosity and pragmatism. He suspects it is extra-dimensional, recognizes the danger of others learning about it, and chooses experimentation over complete understanding.
• Lisa is shocked by the autopsy results but follows Green’s orders. Her reward strengthens her and motivates her to keep hunting.
• Alshfaro and the Shadow Red Dragon also benefit from the Void Milk reward; the dragon’s rapid advancement makes them especially eager to find more.
• Professor Arkansas and his assistants investigate the parasite, but its apparently incoherent genetics defeat conventional analysis.
• Green’s interaction with the new Insect Queen is coercive: he exploits her weakened state to test the parasite’s effects.

Significant themes

• Limits of knowledge: The parasite may be impossible to explain using the laws and methods of Green’s world.
• Pragmatism and experimentation: Green decides that something need not be understood before it can be used.
• Power and secrecy: The parasite and Void Milk offer major advantages, but their connection to “Them” makes the discovery potentially dangerous.
• Reward and ambition: The strength gained from Void Milk encourages Lisa and Alshfaro to pursue further opportunities.

Chapter Summary: “Artificial Production”

Key plot points and events

• Green defeats the already-wounded Insect Queen by implanting a parasite in her. She survives, heals completely, and regains her broken wings, but appears vacant and less intelligent.
• He brings her to a controlled testing ground containing a simulated Insect Tribe. The Zerglings readily accept her authority, and she reshapes their Hive.
• The Queen orders the Zerglings to fight one another. The strongest survivor becomes a powerful mutant, which she then devours. Green detects Void Milk in her afterward.
• Green concludes that the slaughter produces a substance he calls X substance, which the parasite can convert into Void Milk. Insect creatures can apparently absorb Void Milk directly.
• Rather than rely on the slow, wasteful process involving the Queen, Green develops a production device. It feeds the parasite mutant Insect flesh and recreates conditions inside the Queen’s body. The parasite produces Void Milk, which the machine collects.
• The first artificial batch proves weaker than naturally obtained Void Milk, but its production marks a major breakthrough. Output remains low because both X substance and the parasite are bottlenecks.
• Elsewhere, Princess Mulesina helps Anubis recruit several Calamity Rank Necromancers. Anubis’s Virtual Divine Kingdom now houses more than ten million Undead permanently.

Character developments and interactions

• Green demonstrates his pragmatism and scientific ambition: he treats the Queen as an experimental subject, then quickly turns his discovery into an industrial process. He is excited by the prospect of strengthening his Hero Units, while recognizing the production limits.
• The Insect Queen is physically restored and made to rule the test tribe, but the parasite’s takeover appears to have diminished her awareness. She obeys the experimental sequence—commanding the slaughter and consuming the victor—though the extent of her remaining agency is unclear.
• The parasite proves capable of converting the Insect Tribe’s slaughter-derived X substance into Void Milk, becoming the essential component of Green’s technology.
• Princess Mulesina and Anubis make progress through cooperation, expanding Anubis’s undead population with the aid of powerful necromancers.

Significant themes

• Science and exploitation: Green’s breakthrough depends on controlling living beings and turning violence into a resource.
• Industrializing power: A rare, unpredictable substance becomes a repeatable product, potentially transforming Green’s forces.
• The cost of advancement: Artificial Void Milk is weaker and scarce, while the process relies on slaughter, biological experimentation, and the Queen’s preserved body.
• Control and agency: The Queen’s apparent loss of intelligence, the imposed controllers in the test tribe, and the parasite’s role all raise questions about who—or what—is truly in command.

Key plot points and events

• Undead creatures stored in Anubis’s Virtual Divine Kingdom gain more than a ten-percent combat boost. Once Necromancers see the results, demand for the Gemu Company’s paid storage service surges.
• Princess Mulesina manages access carefully, claiming space is limited while taking on more customers and gaining favors. In under twelve days, the kingdom houses over thirty million Undead, providing Anubis with a powerful base of faith and helping him recover toward God Rank.
• While traveling across the northern icy plains, Mulesina is shot by a sniper using an enchanted rifle. The bullet penetrates the Bone Dragon Mahabam’s defenses and destroys her head and shoulders.
• Anubis saves Mulesina’s soul through their bond of faith, and she awakens in the Graveyard’s Hero Hall. Green, furious and concerned, vows to find the attacker.
• Anubis has tracked the sniper’s route but found few useful clues. Green orders the search to continue and raises security, focusing on the rifle as a possible Divine Artifact.

Character developments

• Princess Mulesina proves to be a shrewd, theatrical businesswoman, turning scarce access to Undead storage into growing demand and personal goodwill. After surviving the assassination attempt, she is left traumatized and seriously injured.
• Anubis benefits enormously from the influx of stored Undead, recovering strength through their Death Aura and the faith they provide. His bond with Mulesina also enables him to protect her soul.
• Green reveals how deeply he values Mulesina as a trusted friend and partner. His anger shifts quickly into determined, methodical action.
• The sniper is introduced as a confident, highly skilled assassin who escapes after a long-range kill.

Significant themes

• Incentives and human nature: People initially hesitate to accept a benefit, then compete for it once they see its value—even paying for access.
• Faith, power, and survival: The Undead population strengthens Anubis, while Mulesina’s faith preserves her soul after death.
• Hidden threats and vulnerability: Even powerful figures can be struck down by an unseen enemy, and survival does not erase the danger.

Character interactions

• Mulesina negotiates with Necromancers by balancing apparent reluctance, limited availability, and fees, encouraging demand while earning favors.
• The Necromancers’ increased reliance on her service indirectly strengthens Anubis.
• Green and Anubis cooperate after the attack: Anubis explains Mulesina’s survival and the investigation’s limits, while Green directs the response and security measures.
