Chapter Summaries

Key plot points and events

• Princess Mulesina recovers from her near-fatal shooting, reflecting that she had truly died and returned only because of Anubis’s protection. The experience leaves her grateful to be alive and ends her former curiosity about death.
• Green gives her Void Milk and urges her to prepare to advance to High Calamity Rank, both to strengthen her and to reduce the risk of another attack. Their investigation places the sniper 68 kilometers away, using a weapon powerful enough to pierce extraordinary defenses.
• Similar long-range attacks spread across the Main World, killing more than thirty Calamity-Rank figures. Only Mulesina and two religious leaders survive, thanks to divine protection. Overlapping attack times suggest an organized group rather than a lone assassin.
• Unable to identify a shared trait among the victims, Green suspects the killers may come from beyond the Void. He alerts Grand Duke Mora, orders increased vigilance, pauses the offensive, and tells powerful figures to avoid acting alone.
• The crisis escalates when a sniper kills Carter V, King of Sison, while he inspects the front. His death paralyzes the already weakened kingdom and sparks a month of turmoil. The Divine Eagle Empire helps his son take the throne and suppress unrest, while Poseidon’s forces exploit the chaos to attack. Sison survives, but becomes a costly burden on its former ally.

Character developments and interactions

• Mulesina shifts from a hardened warrior who had wondered about death to someone profoundly grateful for life. She accepts Green’s plan to help her grow stronger, while recognizing that even greater strength might not have prevented the sudden attack.
• Green acts protectively toward Mulesina and decisively in response to the wider threat. He consults Anubis, Grand Duke Mora, and Archbishop Link, but finds no explanation; he then takes precautions for his forces.
• Carter V’s death reveals how dependent Sison had become on its king. His son inherits amid crisis, with Emperor Simdo’s envoy guiding the succession.
• The Divine Eagle Empire intervenes to stabilize Sison, but the kingdom’s vulnerability turns an old ally into a strategic and political liability.

Significant themes

• Mortality and gratitude: Mulesina’s brush with death changes her understanding of survival.
• Vulnerability despite power: Even elite Calamity-Rank figures and a king can be killed suddenly, before their strength or status can protect them.
• Uncertainty and hidden threats: The coordinated sniping suggests a powerful, possibly otherworldly enemy whose motives and targets remain unknown.
• Political fragility: A single assassination destabilizes a kingdom, invites invasion, and strains alliances.

Key events

• Poseidon remains the likeliest suspect in Carter V’s assassination, but rumors instead blame the Titan Race for the killings of Calamity-Rank Strong Ones. The Titans deny nothing: their leaders privately know the accusation is false, but are too proud to defend themselves.
• After half a month without further attacks, weaker Calamity-Rank fighters cautiously relax.
• In the Mist World, Lisa and the Shadow Red Dragon find another Insect Queen infected by a parasite. Green defeats her advanced tribe—nearly 100,000 warriors—and turns the Queen into a second Void Milk production line.
• With two lines running, Green can make five milliliters of Void Milk extract per month: enough to raise a talented Mid Calamity-Rank fighter to Saint Spirit Rank in a year. He resolves to keep this secret until he is strong enough to protect the operation.
• At the Titan World’s palace, Zeus confronts Hercules after a 50-member Guard Legion squad is wiped out by two mysterious attackers. Hercules survived but lost an arm and suffered wounds that resist healing. The attackers were only middle-stage Saint Spirit Rank, yet their enormous sniper rifles proved devastating against the Titans.

Character developments and interactions

• Green recognizes the extraordinary strategic value of his growing Void Milk supply and becomes more cautious about concealing it.
• Hercules, usually the Titans’ greatest warrior, returns battered and shaken. He apologizes to Zeus, who is angry but concludes the defeat was caused by the enemies’ unexpected strength and weapons, not Hercules’s negligence.
• Zeus suspects the attackers may have been sent by an unknown power (“They”) and is troubled by their continued targeting of Calamity-Rank fighters.

Significant themes

• Rumor and scapegoating: The Titans are blamed despite the leaders’ certainty that they are not responsible.
• Power and secrecy: Green’s production line could rapidly build a force of Saint Spirit Rank fighters, making secrecy essential.
• Technology overcoming strength: Specialized weapons allow two relatively weaker attackers to defeat a powerful Titan force and even injure Hercules.

Key plot points and events

• Hercules leaves Zeus’s temple after being held responsible for the destruction of his force and the loss of dozens of elite God King Guards. Zeus spares him because the Divine War requires every fighter and gives him a chance to redeem himself.
• Back in his neglected palace, Hercules privately examines the deformed bullet that destroyed his arm. He wonders whether the attackers came from beyond the Void and what they seek.
• Far north of the Mist World, a blazing golden object approaches the World Crystal Wall. Frostwing, the ancient White Dragon King—now a true Deity—wakes and attacks it with powerful frost breath.
• The object survives, speeds into Frostwing’s open mouth, and bursts through his skull. Frostwing dies as a mysterious life-draining Curse or lethal rule reaches his divine soul.
• The object was used by two wounded attackers fleeing into the Mist World. They activated their highest authority to survive, making its fatal effect on Frostwing far stronger than the shot that struck Hercules.

Character developments and interactions

• Hercules bears the consequences of his military failure and remains an outsider among the Titan Gods because he is an illegitimate son. Despite his defeat, he shows caution and curiosity by secretly keeping the bullet rather than handing it to Zeus.
• Zeus balances punishment with pragmatism, holding Hercules accountable while allowing him to serve again.
• Frostwing awakens confident in his newly attained divinity, but his defenses and immense power prove useless against the mysterious weapon. His confusion turns to terror as he realizes he is dying.
• Hercules and Frostwing suffer related attacks: Hercules survives by immediately severing his wounded arm, while Frostwing is struck in a vital area and cannot stop the curse from reaching his soul. The two attackers’ desperate flight brings them into conflict with Frostwing.

Significant themes

• The limits of power: Even a newly ascended Dragon God can be killed by an unfamiliar weapon.
• Knowledge and mystery: Hercules’s questions about the Void’s visitors foreshadow a larger threat.
• Survival and consequence: Hercules’s quick decision saves him, while Frostwing’s unlucky, fatal wound ends his ancient life.
• War’s pragmatism: Zeus’s mercy is motivated less by forgiveness than by the need for fighters.

Key events

• Frostwing, the White Dragon King, is killed by a devastating attack. His body falls through the World Crystal Wall, and the uncontrolled Psychic Energy inside him forms a vast iceberg around his corpse. Its impact on the Northern Icefield sends tremors across the Mist World and creates a brilliant aurora.
• Green senses the immense Psychic Energy and, after checking that his Void Milk operation is safe, heads north with the Skeleton Lord. He leaves Talaga behind to guard the Graveyard.
• The two attackers emerge from their wrecked craft near Frostwing’s corpse. Both are badly injured: Jason is critically wounded, while Miel is in even worse condition, and their equipment warns that they may die if they cannot recover.
• Jason and Miel are envoys of a True God, but they regard the Void World’s Deities as “False Gods.” Though they possess a way to curse such beings, they were forced to flee after fighting one and have no transport point in the Mist World.
• The Skeleton Lord arrives and uses his mental power to pin them down. Jason raises an unfamiliar gun, ready to fight, but Green appears and offers help rather than hostility.
• Jason recognizes Green as Grand Duke Alsa of the Lorenzo Kingdom and asks why he is there.

Character developments and interactions

• Green responds quickly to the distant disaster, showing his practical concern for the Graveyard before investigating. He is astonished to discover that two nearly dying outsiders killed Frostwing, but approaches them calmly and offers assistance.
• Jason remains protective and combative despite his injuries, trying to reassure Miel that they can escape. He distrusts Green’s party enough to keep his weapon trained on the Skeleton Lord.
• Miel is more badly hurt and more resigned. She recognizes that they have been discovered and sees little hope of survival.
• The Skeleton Lord acts as Green’s imposing escort and immediately establishes control over the newcomers; Talaga stays behind on guard.

Significant themes

• Power and vulnerability: Frostwing seemed nearly invincible, yet was killed; the attackers themselves are powerful envoys reduced to desperate survivors.
• Uncertainty and shifting alliances: The outsiders may be enemies, but Green chooses to offer help, leaving their next relationship unresolved.
• Consequences of conflict: Frostwing’s death reshapes the landscape and shakes the whole Mist World, while the battle leaves Jason and Miel close to death.

Key plot points and events

• Jason and Miel are stunned to discover that Green is both Grand Duke Alsa and the ruler of the Undead Empire. Jason distrusts his offer of help, but Miel collapses from severe injuries, leaving Jason no choice but to accept.
• The Great Ape King takes them away. Jason is shown Miel in a Nutrient Pod, unaware that she is only a projection; the real Miel is elsewhere for examination and biological sampling.
• Green and the Skeleton Lord travel to Frostwing’s frozen remains. The Undead Empire seals off the area, preventing other powerful figures from approaching.
• The Skeleton Lord breaks into the ice mountain surrounding the White Dragon King’s body. A burst of Psychic Energy reveals not a living Frostwing, but a remnant formed from fragments of his Dragon Soul.
• Green captures this lingering soul, which retains some of Frostwing’s memories, then turns his attention to the White Dragon King’s corpse. He hopes to raise it as a powerful undead, though removing and transporting it will be difficult.

Character developments and interactions

• Jason is forced to set aside his suspicion and accept Green’s aid to protect Miel. He remains anxious about her condition but takes comfort in being able to see the pod.
• Miel is too badly injured to make decisions and loses consciousness. Unbeknownst to Jason, she is being examined separately.
• Green sees Frostwing’s death as a reminder that even a being who reached the realm of Deities cannot escape fate. He is also calculating and opportunistic: he values both the dragon’s memories and the potential of its corpse.
• Frostwing, though dead, leaves behind a soul fragment that struggles against Green before being trapped.
• The interaction between Green and the lingering soul is one-sided: Green easily overpowers and contains it, intending to exploit its memories.

Significant themes

• The limits of power and the unpredictability of fate: Frostwing’s death underscores that even godlike strength offers no guarantee of survival.
• Trust and vulnerability: Jason accepts help only because Miel’s collapse leaves him no alternative.
• The exploitation of death: Green treats a fallen deity’s remains as a resource for necromancy, turning tragedy into an opportunity.

Key plot points and events

• Green collects Frostwing’s Remnant Soul and orders a massive operation to recover the White Dragon King’s corpse. Because the corpse is too large for spatial teleportation, the Undead Empire mobilizes Airships, heavy Cranes, a giant anti-gravity Metal Tray, and—if needed—Tracked Vehicles.
• While transport preparations proceed, Green and the Skeleton Lord strip Frostwing’s body of its most valuable remains: Divine Power Crystals, fragments of a Broken Divine Core, Divinity, preserved Dragon Blood, and Brain Matter.
• Green hopes the dragon materials will strengthen Lisa and the Insect Race, potentially making Lisa a Saint Spirit Rank Insect Queen and giving his forces a chance to surpass his other factions. He also gathers what he can before any rival power might seize the corpse.
• Frostwing’s death attracts little attention from the Deities, who had not known he had become a Dragon God.
• Much greater turmoil erupts in the Titan World: Hercules the Mighty betrays the Titans and ambushes Hades, gravely wounding the Underworld King with a new ability that bypasses both divine defenses and the soul.
• Hades uses the Waters of the River of the Underworld to banish Hercules, but Hercules later returns and disappears again. Hades is left severely weakened, while the reason for Hercules’s betrayal and newfound power remains unknown.

Character developments

• Green acts pragmatically and strategically, combining bold resource gathering with precautions against losing Frostwing’s corpse to stronger rivals.
• Hercules is revealed as a shocking traitor whose power has increased dramatically; his survival after the River of the Underworld suggests that even the Titan Race’s feared powers may not be enough to contain him.
• Hades is shown to be vulnerable when caught off guard, though his decisive use of the river allows him to survive.
• Lisa is positioned for a possible major advancement, though she has not yet received or fused with the dragon materials.

Significant themes

• Power and vulnerability: Even a God King like Hades can be nearly killed by an unfamiliar ability.
• Strategic use of resources: Green treats Frostwing’s remains as assets that could reshape the balance of power.
• Uncertainty and secrecy: Hercules’s motives, source of strength, and whereabouts remain unresolved.
• Shifting power balances: Potential growth for Green’s Insect Race and Hercules’s unexpected rise both threaten established hierarchies.

Character interactions

• Green directs the Undead Empire’s crews and technical teams, while relying on the Skeleton Lord to help recover Frostwing’s remains.
• Green views Lisa as a potential beneficiary of the dragon’s genetic material and a future leader of his Insect forces.
• Hercules attacks Hades in a surprise betrayal; Hades’s use of the River of the Underworld turns the battle around but does not permanently restrain Hercules.

Key plot points and events

• Hercules ambushes and kills the Moon Goddess. Her divine essence—Power, Soul, Core, and Divinity—has been drained, leaving a desiccated corpse.
• Zeus arrives furious at the repeated attacks, but privately recognizes a faint trace of mysterious beings referred to as “Them.” He concludes that Hercules is acting as their vessel, just as their power nearly killed Hades.
• Zeus believes he must oppose Them rather than risk becoming their puppet. He summons the Lord of Light to discuss a possible alliance between the Titan Race and the New Gods.
• The Lord of Light acknowledges the threat but does not commit, saying he will consider Zeus’s proposal.
• It is revealed that the Lord of Light who met Zeus was an avatar; his true body remained safe in his Divine Kingdom. The avatar also served as bait to lure Hercules into an ambush, but Hercules never appeared.

Character developments and interactions

• Zeus shifts from reluctant agreement with Gaia’s earlier plan to recognizing that conflict with Them may be unavoidable. Though he presents himself as composed and authoritative, fear underlies his response to their power.
• The Lord of Light shows confidence in his understanding of Zeus, but remains cautious about joining a dangerous war. His use of an avatar and a waiting force demonstrates his strategic, guarded nature.
• Zeus and the Lord of Light exchange wary respect and hostility. Zeus offers cooperation without trying to force a decision; the Lord of Light listens but keeps his options open.
• Hercules, though absent from the meeting, is established as a major threat and a likely instrument of Them.

Significant themes

• Power and manipulation: Even mighty gods may become tools of forces beyond their control.
• Rivalry versus survival: Ancient enemies consider cooperation when faced with a greater danger.
• Fear beneath authority: Zeus’s public anger masks private unease.
• Caution and deception: Both leaders weigh their moves carefully, while the Lord of Light uses an avatar as a tactical decoy.

Key plot points and events

• In the Mist World, Green and the Skeleton Lord move Frostwing—the White Dragon King’s enormous corpse—onto a metal platform. Thirty airships haul it south because even dozens of anti-gravity engines cannot lift it alone.
• Green leaves the transport operation to the Skeleton Lord and returns to the Laboratory, where the badly injured Jason and Miel are being treated.
• Professor Arkansas reports that Miel’s condition is critical and that the Laboratory can only keep her stable. His analysis also confirms that Jason and Miel are not native to the Void: their genes, equipment, and weapons point to a more advanced world beyond it.
• Green privately wonders whether that world might be his original world, but keeps his suspicions to himself.
• Jason asks about Miel. Green tells him she is not dead but remains in grave danger, then recognizes that Jason is willing to sacrifice his own life to save her.
• Green offers another possibility: turning Miel into an undead creature. Jason immediately understands what he means.

Character developments and interactions

• Green proves cautious and strategically perceptive. He withholds his own theories about the outsiders and deliberately gauges Jason’s reaction before revealing Miel’s condition. He also considers the ethical and practical implications of transforming her.
• Jason sets aside his pride in order to seek help from Green. His concern for Miel is so strong that he is ready to die for her; the prospect of preserving her as an undead gives him a possible alternative.
• Miel remains unconscious and critically ill, making her fate the chapter’s central uncertainty.
• Green and Jason negotiate from unequal positions: Jason needs Green’s help, while Green recognizes that Miel’s importance to Jason gives him influence.

Significant themes

• Sacrifice and devotion: Jason is prepared to give up his life for Miel.
• Life, death, and transformation: Turning Miel into an undead may save her, but raises the question of whether survival in that form is acceptable.
• Worlds and identity: Evidence of a civilization beyond the Void challenges Green’s understanding of his world and possibly his own origins.

Plot points and events

• Jason reluctantly agrees to Green’s proposal to turn Miel into an Undead creature, insisting that both of them must survive. Green’s confidence is partly a façade: he intends to use the experiment to learn what Jason and Miel are and how they relate to “Them.”
• After Green leaves, Jason’s apparent distress abruptly disappears. Green watches the change on a hidden camera and suspects Jason may have been acting, but proceeds with his plan.
• In the Laboratory, Miel awakens in her Nutrient Pod with nearly black eyes and a hostile, unfamiliar presence. She mentally controls a technician, who opens the pod, and she crawls out behaving like an animal.
• Jason’s eyes also turn black as another consciousness takes control of him. He briefly resists before losing control completely.
• Jason and Miel leave their rooms separately and find the Laboratory deserted, though equipment is still operating. Miel tries to read a researcher’s mind, triggering a Mind-Sealing Technique that makes his head explode.
• The pair explore in opposite directions without meeting. Jason reaches the surface and finds an abandoned, weed-covered wasteland instead of the city he expected.

Character developments and interactions

• Jason shows apparent resolve to save both himself and Miel, but his sudden emotional shift suggests he may be concealing his true intentions. Once possessed, he struggles to regain control before succumbing.
• Green is revealed as calculating and experimentally curious. He views Miel as leverage over Jason and is willing to proceed regardless of their wishes.
• Miel awakens under the influence of an invading consciousness, displaying aggression and unnatural movement. Her attempt to probe a researcher’s mind is stopped by the protective spell.
• Professor Arkansas and the research team observe events and collect Miel’s brainwave data, treating the crisis as an experiment rather than intervening.
• Jason and Miel do not reunite; despite their bond, they move in opposite directions while under the influence of the invading force.

Significant themes

• Control and agency: Jason and Miel’s bodies become contested territory, while Green seeks to control them for his own purposes.
• Trust and deception: Jason’s performance unsettles Green’s assumptions, and Green’s supposed request for consent is revealed as manipulation.
• The unknown: The origin of Jason and Miel, their connection to “Them,” and the strange transformed world remain unresolved.

Key plot points and events

• Miel wanders the Laboratory in a severely altered state, her black pupils signaling that another personality has taken control. From the control room, Green and Professor Arkansas monitor her and Jason as part of an experiment.
• Jason escapes across the surface, weakened from Calamity Rank to roughly Legendary Rank. A figure appearing to be Miel rushes toward him, but Jason recognizes the deception when she tries to stab him and kills her. She is a clone made from Miel’s genes.
• Green and Arkansas, surprised by Jason’s quick judgment, send hundreds of Zerglings after him to exhaust him and create a greater challenge.
• Elsewhere, the real Miel attacks and kills Jason’s clone while under the influence of her altered personality. The act awakens her original consciousness. A screen shows her what she has done, and she flees in horror.
• Miel’s extreme emotional response pushes her mental fluctuations to a record peak of 207. Arkansas orders the researchers to intensify the experiment, hoping to bring out the hidden Gene Sequence in her body.
• During his fight with the Zerglings, Jason briefly senses Miel and freezes, nearly dying. He escapes badly injured and wonders whether she is still alive and whether he should return to find her or prioritize his own escape.

Character developments and interactions

• Jason remains perceptive and decisive, immediately detecting the fake Miel. Despite his injuries and reduced strength, his concern for the real Miel persists, complicating his choice to flee.
• Miel shifts between a feral, violent personality and her original consciousness. Realizing she killed Jason’s clone leaves her devastated and frightened; her distress also produces the experiment’s highest mental reading.
• Green and Professor Arkansas treat both captives as test subjects. Green is impressed by Jason’s instincts, while Arkansas focuses on using danger and emotional stress to provoke Miel’s genetic potential.
• Jason and the apparent Miel share a brief reunion that turns into a fatal confrontation. The real Miel’s encounter with Jason’s clone likewise ends in violence, with consequences for both of their mental states.

Significant themes

• Identity and control: Miel’s competing personalities raise questions about how much of a person remains when their behavior is altered.
• Manipulation and surveillance: Jason and Miel’s apparent escape is actually controlled and monitored by the researchers.
• Trauma and emotional pressure: Violence and guilt intensify Miel’s distress and drive the experiment forward.
• Trust, loyalty, and survival: Jason’s suspicion saves him, but his concern for Miel puts him in conflict with the urgent need to escape.

Jason rejects the temptation to stay behind and continues searching for an escape from the Void, believing that leaving is the only way to save Miel. A hostile version of Miel appears and shoots at him. When Jason attacks her, her enchanted armor deflects his strike, and she blows off his head at point-blank range. The battle causes her brainwave reading to rise sharply. Jason then wakes screaming in the Underground Base’s laboratory, convinced the fight was a nightmare. Disoriented and feeling his strength suppressed, he urgently tries to escape.
In the Main Control Room, Green and the researchers examine the battle data while the Zerg Queen, Lisa, studies the comatose, dying Miel. Lisa discovers that Miel’s genes share about 24.3% similarity with the Insect Race’s primitive genes, suggesting a possible common ancestor—or that both species were created by higher-dimensional beings. Devouring Miel’s genes could elevate Lisa’s life level and enable her to create new kinds of troops, potentially helping her reach Saint Spirit Rank.
Green attempts to use Death Corruption to turn Miel undead, but his magic initially cannot penetrate a barrier around her. He moves her to the Graveyard and channels its power, spending nearly two million Psychic Energy points over three minutes before the barrier finally gives way. Green then completes the conversion, and Miel’s life force disappears as she begins radiating Death Psychic Energy.
Character developments and interactions: Jason’s instinct to escape overrides his impulse to confront the false Miel, though his awakening leaves him frightened and confused. The fake Miel remains outwardly emotionless, but her rising brainwave readings suggest a reaction beneath the surface. Lisa is excited by Miel’s genetic value and explains its potential to Green, who weighs the enormous cost before committing to the transformation.
Themes: The chapter explores the uncertainty of reality and identity through Jason’s dreamlike experience, the danger of treating living beings as resources, and the costs of pursuing power. It also deepens the mystery of the Void’s inhabitants and their possible connection to higher-dimensional creators.

Key plot points and events

• Miel awakens in Green’s Palace after being transformed into an undead being. She instinctively kneels to Green and calls him “great master,” despite not understanding why.
• Green discovers that Miel has regained her original strength and reached High Calamity Rank. He reads her damaged memories, learning that she and Jason came from an interstellar world where humans fight the Insect Race. Their world lies beyond the Void and is higher-dimensional, but its strength is roughly comparable to the Void World.
• Green hoped Miel’s memories might reveal more about his own past, but finds no clear connection. A mental image of a Battlecruiser confirms that Miel recognizes the Human Federation’s super-warships; she has never heard of the Protoss.
• Jason, meanwhile, is increasingly wounded and exhausted after escaping the Laboratory and fighting the Insect Race. He has killed more than thirty of Miel’s clones, despite loving her, and fears his instinct to kill her has become automatic. He senses danger but is too weary to flee.
• Hercules visits Modi in a poor, remote village. Modi has merged completely with the Revolutionary Flame, sacrificing his personality and becoming revolution’s embodiment. He insists he is neither a god nor someone who wants to become one.

Character developments and interactions

• Miel has become a powerful undead subordinate of Green, with an unexplained instinctive loyalty to him. Her memories are incomplete because of severe brain damage.
• Green investigates Miel’s past in search of answers about his own origins, but her memories offer no decisive clue. He also reacts with skepticism when her world resembles a familiar science-fiction setting.
• Jason is emotionally and physically breaking down. His love for Miel conflicts with the reflexive violence that makes him kill her clones, leaving him questioning his sanity and the cost of being a Ghost Agent.
• Hercules and Modi meet in a quiet, matter-of-fact exchange. Hercules recognizes the immense force within Modi, while Modi explains that his identity has been consumed by the Revolutionary Flame.

Significant themes

• Identity and transformation: Miel’s undead rebirth changes her instincts, while Modi’s merger with the Flame erases much of his personality.
• Love and violence: Jason’s devotion to Miel is entangled with an uncontrollable impulse to kill her, raising the question of whether love is a liability for Ghost Agents.
• Power and sacrifice: Both Miel’s transformation and Modi’s revolutionary embodiment involve profound changes to the self.
• Uncertainty across worlds: Green’s search for answers remains unresolved, as Miel’s world is distinct yet eerily familiar in its technology and conflicts.

Key plot points and events

• Hercules approaches Modi to form an alliance. He argues that a genuinely fair world cannot be created while the gods rule the Void, and reveals that he has been reborn and is no longer a Deity.
• Hercules offers the Revolutionary Army advanced equipment and protection from Deity interference in exchange for attacking the Holy Light Church and the Divine Eagle Empire. Modi accepts the possibility of cooperation because their goals align.
• In the Main World, the war between the Divine Eagle Empire and Holy Light Church abruptly pauses. Their leaders and other powerful figures gather with representatives of the Titan Race and the New Gods.
• The gathering recognizes that “Them” are a shared, formidable enemy. The Titans and New Gods have joined forces to escape their control and pursue greater power.
• Meanwhile, Modi’s newly equipped army launches a rapid campaign across the Void, conquering fourteen worlds in a few days and becoming its third-largest power. Its advance reaches Void World 26, controlled by Princess Mulesina.

Character developments and interactions

• Hercules shifts from former Titan champion to an ally of “Them,” using his influence and resources to recruit Modi. He respects Modi’s unwavering commitment, while presenting their alliance as mutually useful.
• Modi remains focused on revolution rather than the identities or motives of his allies. He cautiously evaluates Hercules’s offer, then acts with ruthless momentum once equipped.
• The Titan Race and New Gods set aside their conflict and cooperate, represented at the gathering by a Titan warrior and an angelic apostle. Their leaders’ alliance is driven by fear of “Them” and ambition to surpass their current limits.
• Former enemies—the Divine Eagle emperors and Holy Light Church leaders—sit together uneasily but cordially, united by the larger threat.

Significant themes

• Revolution and power: Modi’s vision of equality leads him to wield overwhelming force, raising the question of whether liberation can be built through conquest.
• Pragmatic alliances: Ideological rivals cooperate when a greater enemy or shared opportunity demands it.
• Control and resistance: Gods and mortals alike struggle against “Them,” whose power appears to shape entire histories and conflicts.
• Ambition beyond limits: The gods’ alliance is motivated not only by survival but also by the desire to discover what lies beyond Deity.

Key plot points

• The Revolutionary Army, fresh from conquering more than a dozen Void Worlds, prepares to attack Void World 26.
• Princess Mulesina has assembled a formidable defense: over fifteen million undead, Mecha-equipped Bone Dragons and Zombies, fortified trenches, and help from Calamity-Rank fighters.
• Green has supplied equipment and quietly stands ready to intervene, though Mulesina has not requested troops.
• The Revolutionary Army’s strategic cruiser transports forces into the world but cannot enter through its crystal walls. Golden Dragon Girl Arudika commands the invasion.
• Reconnaissance reveals that Mulesina’s defenses are extensive and her forces vastly outnumber the Revolutionary Army’s two-million-strong army. Despite her concern, Arudika orders the attack.
• The invaders land at four sites, each with an advance force tasked with protecting a Portal through which the main army can arrive.
• Mulesina learns their locations and numbers through magical sentries and Psychic Energy detectors. She orders Marshal Santos and the Griffin Knight Corps, reinforced with ten Bone Dragons, to eliminate one of the enemy forces.

Character developments and interactions

• Princess Mulesina is confident and well prepared, and her advancement to Mid Calamity Rank earns her greater deference from Marshal Santos. She takes charge of the defense and assigns him a specific counterattack.
• Arudika remains committed to the Revolutionary Army’s advance but recognizes that this campaign may be harder than previous ones. The strategic cruiser has humbled her confidence in her own physical power, and Mulesina’s numbers and fortifications give her further cause for concern.
• Green remains in the background, supporting Mulesina with equipment and preparing to help if needed.
• Marshal Santos arrives as a representative of the Lorenzo Kingdom’s support and responds respectfully to Mulesina’s authority.

Significant themes

• Military strength and preparation: Mulesina’s layered defenses and intelligence network challenge the Revolutionary Army’s momentum.
• Technology and power: The strategic cruiser’s overwhelming armor makes even a Great Dragon feel vulnerable, while Mecha and enchanted weapons reshape the battlefield.
• Confidence versus uncertainty: Both commanders begin with faith in their forces, but each encounters evidence that this battle may not follow the pattern of earlier victories.

Key plot points and events

• Princess Mulesina sends Marshal Santos to strike the Revolutionary Army’s Portal sites, signaling both trust in him and Lorenzo Kingdom’s claim over Void World 26.
• Green checks in with Zerg Queen Lisa, whose concealed Hive in the world’s southern rainforest has grown into a substantial force: over 30,000 Zerglings and 8,000 Hydralisks. Lisa, now an early Saint Spirit, is being tested to see whether she can operate independently.
• Santos’s first assault destroys a newly built Portal and kills 30,000 Revolutionary Army soldiers in only fifteen minutes. The Golden Dragon Girl, Arudika, orders greater vigilance but remains calm.
• At the second Portal, the Revolutionary Army fights back more effectively. Santos loses one Bone Dragon and over 1,000 Griffin Knights, though he still destroys the site.
• The unexpectedly weak defenses make Santos suspect the Portals are a diversion. He alerts Mulesina, who orders more reconnaissance, but the enemy’s main force remains hidden.
• Santos destroys the third Portal. Arudika, waiting aboard the strategic cruiser, then receives word that her preparations are complete and orders the next phase to begin.

Character developments and interactions

• Santos proves effective and bold, but his experience makes him alert to the possibility that the enemy is concealing its real plan. He reports his doubts to Mulesina rather than treating his victories as proof that the threat is contained.
• Mulesina gives Santos an opportunity to distinguish himself, then responds seriously to his warning by expanding reconnaissance.
• Lisa demonstrates rapid growth and confidence, building a powerful secret force from a tiny initial group. Her deployment is both Green’s experiment and a test of her ability to command independently.
• Arudika shows composure and strategic patience despite heavy Revolutionary Army losses. Her focus is on assembling a much larger army through the Portals; once ready, she moves from waiting to action.
• Green and Lisa maintain a clear commander–subordinate relationship, while Santos and Mulesina coordinate through battlefield reports and strategic decisions.

Significant themes

• Deception and misdirection: The apparently important Portals may be bait, concealing the Revolutionary Army’s real approach.
• Preparation and patience: Arudika accepts losses while waiting for her main force to gather; Mulesina responds by seeking information rather than assuming the danger is over.
• Testing potential: Green gives Lisa room to develop, using the conflict to assess the Insect Race’s strength and Lisa’s leadership.
• Uneven strength and costly victory: The Griffin Knights and Bone Dragons greatly outclass ordinary soldiers, but Mecha and determined resistance can still inflict serious losses.

Plot and events

• Arudika’s strategic cruiser fires its main cannon at Void World 26. The blast severely cracks the World Crystal Wall and devastates the world below, collapsing buildings and mountains and opening fissures.
• Princess Mulesina sees the enormous ship through the fractured sky and realizes the enemy’s weapon is beyond anything her forces can withstand.
• Engineers plant explosives on the damaged wall. The Golden Dragon Girl’s plan is to breach it directly rather than use Portals; the explosion shatters the barrier and further damages the world, Mulesina’s castle, and its surrounding defensive magic array.
• The Revolutionary Army pours through the breach. Troops and heavy equipment arrive through Portals aboard the cruiser, while transports and airborne units begin attacking. The earlier effort to establish Portals inside the world was a deliberate feint.
• The cruiser pushes its bow through the opening and begins charging another shot, aimed at Mulesina’s castle. Knowing its defenses cannot stop the weapon, she orders a retreat.
• Mulesina and her allies recall most of their Undead through Anubis’s Virtual Divine Kingdom, preserving their forces. They keep only their fastest and strongest troops, which scatter to carry out a prepared contingency plan. The chapter ends with the battle’s outcome uncertain.

Character developments and interactions

• The Golden Dragon Girl demonstrates ruthless strategic initiative: she chooses a catastrophic breach because conventional attacks against the defenders’ vastly larger army would be too costly.
• Princess Mulesina shifts from confidence in her defenses to alarm, then acts decisively rather than surrendering to panic. She coordinates with her generals and allied Necromancers, ordering an organized withdrawal and activating their backup plan.
• Mulesina’s allies cooperate in recalling their Undead, using their connection to Anubis to limit losses.
• Arudika carries out the opening bombardment under the Golden Dragon Girl’s command.

Significant themes

• Technological power versus magical defenses: The cruiser’s cannon overwhelms barriers and artifacts that would otherwise seem formidable.
• Strategy and deception: The hidden Portals and the direct assault on the Crystal Wall reveal how carefully the invasion was planned.
• Adaptation under pressure: Mulesina’s prepared plans and controlled retreat show that survival depends on flexibility, not merely strength.
• The cost of war: Breaking the wall harms the entire world, not just its defenders.

Plot points and events

• The Revolutionary Army’s Strategic Cruiser destroys Princess Mulesina’s castle with a devastating beam, leaving a vast crater and demonstrating that conventional forces cannot safely gather while the ship remains operational.
• Though shaken, Mulesina refuses to surrender. She withdraws south, betting that the Cruiser cannot repeat its attack everywhere and that the Revolutionary Army wants a habitable world rather than a wasteland.
• Arudika is frustrated that Mulesina continues to resist. The Revolutionary Army needs a swift victory, since other powerful forces are occupied elsewhere and a prolonged campaign could worsen its position.
• Lisa, the Zerg Queen, recognizes that the Cruiser’s inexperienced crew relies heavily on its Intelligent Control System. She devises a plan to disable it and infiltrate the vessel with Insect Race forces, but reports the idea to Green rather than risking an unsupported attempt.
• Green decides to pursue the capture himself. He plans to bring the Skeleton Lord and Talaga, and possibly Anubis, to improve the odds. He wants the Cruiser both as a weapon and as a source of human technology and information.

Character developments and interactions

• Mulesina proves more resilient and strategically perceptive than Arudika expected: she retreats rather than breaking, and reasons that the enemy’s need for a livable world limits its use of the Cruiser.
• Arudika shifts from expecting the weapon’s shock to end resistance to urgently seeking a quick conclusion.
• Lisa shows ambition tempered by caution. Although capturing the Cruiser would win her great credit with her master, she chooses to share her plan with Green rather than risk failure alone.
• Green responds decisively to Lisa’s report and commits substantial allies and resources to the operation.

Significant themes

• The limits of overwhelming force: The Cruiser can devastate armies and fortifications, but its destructive power does not automatically end a war.
• Strategy under constraint: Both sides recognize that the weapon has limitations—Mulesina exploits the enemy’s need for a habitable world, while Lisa targets its reliance on an untrained crew and automated systems.
• Ambition and calculated risk: Lisa balances the desire for personal credit against the danger of acting without support; Green accepts a major risk in hopes of gaining a decisive prize.
• Worldbuilding and mystery: Green’s belief that the Void may have originated as a world modeled on Heroes of Might and Magic deepens the chapter’s larger questions about the Void’s origins.

Chapter Summary

Key plot points and events

• Green arrives at Lisa’s Insect Race base and gives her unrestricted access to troops and resources from the Mist World. Her forces expand rapidly, reaching more than 300,000.
• Princess Mulesina has lost the Northern Icefield and the Revolutionary Army’s breach has been repaired, driving its Strategic Cruiser back. Her Undead Army and the Revolutionary Army resume a major battle.
• The Revolutionary Army fields more than a million troops, including Siege Tanks, Thor Mechas, and Fighters. The Undead Army is formidable in numbers and air support but struggles against the enemy’s heavy weapons; the Revolutionary Army appears likely to win, though at great cost.
• To intensify the fighting while keeping Lisa’s strength secret, Green orders her to disconnect from the Insect Race network and join the battle personally. Her other Queens are left to manage the bases. That night, Zerglings appear on the Revolutionary Army’s flank.
• Green’s group watches the Strategic Cruiser from the Void. The Red Queen warns that the ship’s defenders may be able to call in reinforcements, so Green sends Mulesina ten Tactical Nuclear Bombs to help exhaust the enemy before they attempt to seize it.
• The Skeleton Lord delivers the bombs. His Saint Spirit Rank power astonishes Mulesina’s allies and makes them abandon thoughts of exploiting her defeat. They speculate that she may be connected to a Deity.

Character developments and interactions

• Green shifts from empowering Lisa’s army to directing a broader strategy: keep the Revolutionary Army under pressure, preserve secrecy, and weaken the Strategic Cruiser’s defenses.
• Lisa understands why she must conceal her exceptional forces. She arranges for the other Queens to maintain the Insect Race bases before severing her connection and entering the battle.
• Princess Mulesina earns Green’s approval through her stubborn defense. Receiving the nuclear bombs also strengthens her position among her allies.
• Mulesina’s allies move from mixed motives—including possible opportunism—to caution and respect after witnessing the Skeleton Lord’s power.
• The Skeleton Lord serves as Green’s emissary, and his unexpected arrival reveals a level of power that changes the allies’ calculations.

Significant themes

• Secrecy and strategy: Green hides Lisa’s true strength and uses the battle to create an opening against the Strategic Cruiser.
• Power and allegiance: The Skeleton Lord’s strength reshapes how others view Mulesina and fuels speculation about divine backing.
• War’s cost and escalation: Both sides commit vast forces, while Green’s nuclear weapons promise to make an already brutal conflict even more destructive.

Key plot points and events

• Princess Mulesina waits until the Revolutionary Army’s assault begins to weaken, then launches a massive Undead counterattack during the enemy’s troop rotation.
• The Golden Dragon Girl anticipates the move and sends an elite reserve of Legendary fighters into the battle. The Revolutionary Army’s counteroffensive overwhelms the Undead vanguard, putting Mulesina’s forces at risk.
• Mulesina springs her trap: Gargoyles carrying five of the ten Tactical Nuclear Bombs fly over the tightly packed Revolutionary Army and drop their warheads. Once the bombs are exposed and detonated, they kill an estimated 400,000 soldiers and leave roughly 800,000 casualties including the wounded.
• Furious, the Golden Dragon Girl considers firing her Strategic Cruiser’s Main Cannon, but hesitates because its Solar Core power supply is scarce.
• An Insect Race army of over 300,000, acting on Lisa’s final orders, strikes the Revolutionary Army’s already shattered flank. It collapses within minutes, leaving the Golden Dragon Girl facing an unexpected second enemy.

Character developments and interactions

• Princess Mulesina reveals herself as patient and calculating: she lets the enemy commit its forces before using the bombs at the moment of maximum impact. Her gamble turns an apparent Undead setback into a devastating blow.
• The Golden Dragon Girl initially appears confident and prepared, but the nuclear strike shocks her and the Insect Race’s arrival leaves her uncertain whether to stand or retreat. Her adjutant also warns her against wasting the cruiser’s limited power.
• Lisa, though absent, shapes events through the final orders that set the Insect Race’s attack in motion.
• Mulesina’s Undead forces, the Revolutionary Army, and the newly arriving Insect Race collide in a rapidly shifting battle, while the Golden Dragon Girl and her adjutant debate the cost of escalating the conflict.

Significant themes

• Timing and deception: Mulesina conceals the bombs’ energy signature and waits for the enemy to be concentrated and vulnerable.
• The cost of war: A single strike inflicts enormous casualties, and exhausted human troops cannot fight indefinitely.
• Uncertainty and escalation: The Revolutionary Army’s apparent advantage is overturned by weapons and forces it did not anticipate, leaving its commander with no easy choice.

Plot points and events

• The Revolutionary Army’s front line begins to collapse under attacks from the Undead Army and a newly arrived Insect Race force.
• After learning the Insect force numbers about 400,000, mostly non-elite troops, Golden Dragon Girl Arudika commits her 100,000-strong elite reserve. Their counterattack steadies the line and routs the Insect vanguard.
• Princess Mulesina redirects the Undead Army into a counterattack, restoring a stalemate and preventing the Insect force from being destroyed.
• Green, observing from the Great Ape King, admires the Revolutionary Army’s strength but decides to seize its Strategic Cruiser. He sets off with Lisa, Talaga, and the Skeleton Lord, while Arudika leaves the cruiser to join the battle.
• With the fight deadlocked and the threat of further super bombs weighing on her, Arudika reveals that her side also has nuclear weapons. A Ghost Agent guides a strike that destroys more than a million undead.
• Mulesina orders a withdrawal, but a Tactical Nuclear Bomb she had buried detonates beneath the advancing Revolutionary Army. The blast inflicts heavy losses and disrupts its offensive, forcing it to regroup.

Character developments and interactions

• Arudika moves from uncertainty to decisive command: she assesses the enemy, commits her reserve, and finally authorizes a nuclear strike. Her concern about using the weapon so soon hints at the scale or significance of her secret arsenal.
• Mulesina responds quickly to setbacks, first rescuing the Insect vanguard with an Undead counterattack and then using a concealed bomb to blunt the Revolutionary Army’s advance.
• Green recognizes the Revolutionary Army as a formidable fighting force, while privately prioritizing the capture of its Strategic Cruiser.
• The adjutant helps Arudika regain control of the crisis by rapidly confirming the Insect force’s strength. The Ghost Agent carries out Arudika’s order and moves on to another target.

Significant themes

• Adaptation under pressure: Both commanders adjust their plans as the battle shifts, and neither side can rely on its initial advantage.
• The cost of escalation: Nuclear weapons devastate both armies, turning battlefield momentum into mass casualties.
• Confidence and vulnerability: The Revolutionary Army’s elite strength restores its position, but its commitment of the reserve leaves Arudika anxious and exposed to surprises.
