Chapter Summaries

The rulers of the continent formed an alliance after learning that Constantine’s forces had breached seven defensive lines at Twilight Fortress. Kadrian was appointed supreme commander, while Mary departed with lingering memories of their past and Cheng Yu remained unaware of the impact he had made.

• The Merfolk King showed the assembled rulers footage of Constantine’s devastating weapons, and Help judged their power comparable to a Lesser God’s strike.
• Kadrian revealed that Constantine’s forces had breached Twilight Fortress’s first seven defensive lines and were fighting at the eighth.
• Help urged the rulers to unite against Constantine, and the Beast Emperor, Elf Queen, Kadrian, Mary, the Merfolk King, and the Abyssal Pope agreed to an alliance.
• Help proposed sending troops to reinforce Twilight Fortress and named Kadrian as supreme commander; the Abyssal Pope, Beast Emperor, and Elf Queen left to mobilize reinforcements.
• Kadrian thanked Help for securing the alliance, then spoke briefly with Mary, who recalled their unspoken feelings from their school days before returning to prepare the Xipu Federation’s deployment.
• Cheng Yu, still in outer space, remained unaware that he had earned the achievement “The Man Who Shook the World.”

Cheng Yu learned that the continent’s factions had united and sent a massive army toward Twilight Fortress to eliminate him, but Conductor estimated their odds of breaching his defenses at below fifteen percent. As the alliance assembled, Yog anticipated a battle that would force Cheng Yu to prove himself.

• Cheng Yu saw that Orcs, Elves, Naga, humans, and other forces were marching toward Twilight Fortress, and Yog explained that they feared him after the Carbon-Based Virus and the Deep Sea Empire’s destruction.
• Cheng Yu unlocked and exchanged the achievement “The Man Who Shook the World,” then asked Conductor about the threat; Conductor said the enemy had less than a fifteen percent chance of breaking through their defenses.
• Kadrian received the allied forces at Twilight Fortress, where their combined army grew to more than two million classed combatants.
• Cheng Yu paced through the night, unaware that the faction leaders intended to use the deployment as a probe before negotiating with Constantine.
• Yog urged Cheng Yu to prepare for a proper workout while Miss Puppet stayed silent and the black dog watched Yog without learning anything.

Cheng Yu’s army fought the coalition at the Seventh Defense Line after the enemy’s Magic Barrier isolated his forces and nullified their aerial advantage. As his machines suffered heavy losses and the battle continued, Help left to challenge Constantine himself and urged Karen VI to surrender if Constantine proved unbeatable.

• The coalition’s Magic Barrier withstood a Shuttle Fighter strike, then expanded to enclose both armies and cut Cheng Yu’s forces off from reinforcements.
• The coalition’s Magitech weapons, Wyverns, and cursed weapons battered Cheng Yu’s army, while the Wisdom units adapted their defenses and shot down the Wyverns.
• Cheng Yu’s remaining forces fought the coalition’s Orcs, Elf Hunters, Golden Knights, Abyss Summoners, and Mages, gradually countering their tactics at the cost of heavy casualties.
• Help saw the Golden Knights nearly wiped out and told Karen VI he would fight Constantine himself, asking his father to surrender if Constantine defeated him easily.
• Help bowed to Karen VI and set out for the Kurland Kingdom.

Cheng Yu’s legion lost the seventh defensive line as the coalition unleashed Earth Elementals and Demons, while he weighed the cost of expanding his forces. Help won Kadrian’s permission to face Constantine and reached the battlefield, where the system warned Cheng Yu that the continent’s strongest Summoner had arrived.

• The coalition’s Magitech Corps, Earth Elementals, and Demons overwhelmed Cheng Yu’s mechanical legion and turned the fighting into a melee.
• Cheng Yu asked the system about the costs of a Level Four Research Institute and a Titan, then asked Conductor which unit series to unlock.
• Help asked Kadrian to let him confront Constantine, convinced Kadrian after declaring he wanted to test his limits, and received permission to go to the front.
• Help reached the eighth defensive line, paid tribute to the fallen, and headed toward the fighting.
• The city alarm detected a silver creature, and the system told Cheng Yu that the strongest Summoner on the Keynes Continent had arrived.

Help summoned a Gold Five-Star Time Dragon to destroy Cheng Yu’s mechanical forces, and Cheng Yu sought Yog’s help before confronting the dragon. The Time Dragon sensed Cheng Yu’s arrival but could see no trace of his past or future, and prepared for a dangerous fight.

• Cheng Yu learned that Help was a demigod Summoner from the Karen Empire’s Golden Family, known for summoning powerful Golden Dragons.
• Help summoned a Gold Five-Star young adult Time Dragon, who banished the mechanical troops and demons at the defensive lines into temporal turbulence.
• The Time Dragon destroyed forces across the Northern Borderlands, crippling Cheng Yu’s army, while Miss Puppet recalled that her former army had once abandoned a universe inhabited by the Time Dragon Tribe.
• Cheng Yu urged Yog to confront the Time Dragon, but Yog said the dragons were merely favored by time and reassured Cheng Yu that he would survive and might gain something.
• Cheng Yu returned to the Monster Forest, where the Time Dragon sensed him, found his past and future invisible, and prepared to fight.

Cheng Yu’s title protected him from the young Time Dragon’s attempts to probe and manipulate him, but after the dragon attacked, Cheng Yu unleashed Yog’s Aura and revealed overwhelming power. He left for the Monster Forest after warning the continent’s rulers, then learned his legion had been crippled and received a Gold achievement.

• Cheng Yu’s Epic title blocked the Time Dragon from probing his information and manipulating his time, and he asked Help to gather the continent’s geniuses before him.
• Help refused, and the young Time Dragon used a barrage of time spells and breaths against Cheng Yu, but the attacks failed to harm or displace him.
• Cheng Yu shattered the sphere containing Yog’s Aura, causing cosmic phenomena and mutations across the universe before he suppressed the effect and spared Help and the dragon.
• Cheng Yu warned the continent’s rulers not to send individuals beyond the permitted level onto the battlefield, then departed toward the Monster Forest as the Time Dragon called him a Supreme Deity.
• Help staggered toward Twilight Fortress while the faction leaders realized their continent was powerless against Constantine, and Cheng Yu learned his legion had been badly crippled.
• The system awarded Cheng Yu the Gold, one-star achievement The Invincible, and he celebrated the reward.

Cheng Yu earned a Gold achievement, exchanged currency for steel, and ordered construction of a Titan Assembly Plant and Metal Transmuters. Across the continent, Help questioned his choices and Kadrian seized control of Kurland; Cheng Yu ended up standing on the enormous Titan Assembly Plant, unable to recognize it.

• Cheng Yu earned the Gold One-Star achievement “The Invincible,” gained 4,500,000 currency, and ordered steel, a Titan Assembly Plant, and Metal Transmuters.
• Help returned to the Karen Empire and wondered whether his challenge to Constantine had doomed the continent; he asked Karen VI to let him see the world he had overlooked.
• Kadrian told Red that Kurland could not be saved and forced him to abdicate, declaring that the Black Forest Family had to endure.
• Kadrian took the throne, purged most of Kurland’s nobles, and expelled members of the Black Forest Family who might threaten him.
• Cheng Yu asked where the Titan Assembly Plant was, and the system told him he was standing on it.

Cheng Yu chose a humanoid Personal Titan and named it Iron Throne, which was completed as a nearly two-kilometer-tall Commander-Class fortress with immense firepower and storage capacity. After learning that his legion had recovered, he turned his attention south again as Yog anticipated their time in this world ending soon.

• Conductor, Artist, and Performer asked Cheng Yu to choose his Personal Titan's form, and he ordered a humanoid design with a second form left to them.
• Cheng Yu named the Titan Iron Throne, and Conductor recorded its designation.
• Fifteen days later, the completed Iron Throne merged with Main City, and Conductor identified it as a 22.46-million-tonne Commander-Class Titan nearly 1,990 meters tall with Gold One-Star strength.
• Conductor introduced Iron Throne's weapons, defenses, sonic destruction device, and barracks capable of storing three million machines.
• Cheng Yu learned that his legion had mostly recovered, then looked south again while Yog noted that their time in this world was nearly over.

Cheng Yu led the Iron Throne and its mechanical legion through Twilight Fortress’s defenses, then faced Kadrian in a final duel. After the Titan killed Kadrian and his Fel Ancient Tree, Cheng Yu ordered Kadrian’s body carried into the fortress and the stronghold sealed.

• Cheng Yu marched the Iron Throne and two-million-strong legion toward Twilight Fortress, where the Titan’s weight initially sank its left leg until Conductor proposed using an anti-gravity device.
• The Iron Throne breached the Eighth Defense Line by absorbing the defenders’ attacks and destroying the walls and troops with its cannons, then Cheng Yu’s forces overran four more lines.
• Kadrian greeted Cheng Yu beyond the Northern Borderlands, revealed he was the newly crowned King of the Kurland United Kingdom, and summoned the Fel Ancient Tree to fight the Titan.
• Cheng Yu’s Iron Throne cut down the Fel Ancient Tree, and Kadrian reached the Titan’s head for a final attack before its Atomic Cutting Cannon killed him.
• Cheng Yu ordered Kadrian’s body carried into Twilight Fortress’s Main Fortress, the supplies stripped, and every passage sealed, while the Fel Ancient Tree was converted into energy.

Cheng Yu conquered the Kurland Kingdom, expanded his army, and launched a simultaneous invasion of the surrounding nations. As his declaration of conquest reached the continent and monstrous creatures flooded the seas, Help set out for the Karen Empire after seeing the hope people placed in Constantine.

• Cheng Yu occupied the Kurland Kingdom, installed facilities to increase resources, and let the Conductor handle nobles who appealed to the Karen Empire or fled the new order.
• The Purger Army executed nobles accused of colluding with foreign enemies, while commoners cheered for His Highness Constantine.
• Cheng Yu sent fifty million troops to attack the Karen Empire, Orc Empire, Jebel Theocracy, and Naga Empire, then broadcast his declaration that the world should submit to him.
• The Mutated Monsters surged from the deep sea, turning the surrounding waters blood-red, while the Abyssal Pope calmly remarked that the plan had been fulfilled.
• Help saw the people of the Kurland Kingdom celebrating Constantine and traveled toward the Karen Empire.

As Cheng Yu’s army conquered the continent, the Abyssal Pope advanced a secret plan and took control of Luthers, while the Karen Empire surrendered and Cheng Yu destroyed the Naga Empire. Cheng Yu accepted the Sea Folk’s extinction as he prepared to search for the person he was seeking.

• The Abyssal Pope confirmed his plan with a cardinal, then used a strange gesture to take control of Luthers after discovering he meant to flee.
• Karen VI surrendered the Karen Empire after Prince Help persuaded him that defeat was inevitable, and Cheng Yu promised to leave the empire’s rule largely unchanged in exchange for resources and access to its talented people.
• Cheng Yu returned to the Titan relieved that the Karen surrender was sincere and prepared to use his ability to locate the fragment on Lin Mo.
• The Titan’s Burst-Fire Energy Cannon destroyed the Naga royal capital, the Merfolk King, the Naga Queen, and two million elite troops, while the Purger Army annihilated the remaining Naga forces.
• Cheng Yu earned the Relentless Pursuer achievement and let go of his pity for the Sea Folk’s extinction as Yog watched in silence.

Cheng Yu discovered that the Jebel Theocracy was sacrificing its people to open a passage to the Abyss, and prepared to unlock new army units to confront the threat. As abyssal gates opened across the nation, Yog wondered what choice Cheng Yu would make.

• Cheng Yu checked the Karen Empire's gathered prodigies for a fragment, found none, and arranged to inspect talented Orcs while the Purger Army advanced on the Jebel Theocracy.
• The Conductor reported that the Jebel Theocracy's captured cities had far fewer people than expected, leading Cheng Yu to suspect sacrifices by the Abyssal Cult.
• The Abyssal Pope and Lanchi Lubel activated a vast Blood Sacrifice Formation across the Jebel Theocracy, turning its people into a gate-opening ritual.
• Cheng Yu and the system identified the ritual as an attempt to open a passage to the Abyss, and Cheng Yu ordered the information uploaded to the army's database.
• Cheng Yu chose to unlock the Enabler and Annihilator series as abyssal gates opened and demons began emerging.
• Yog watched the gates appear and wondered what choice Cheng Yu would make.

Cheng Yu upgraded the Research Institute and unlocked the Enabler and Annihilator series as the Abyss disrupted space and the First Calamity emerged. He ordered the new units into mass production and returned to the Titan, where he found the battle against the Calamity already underway.

• Alarms reported high-energy organic entities and abnormal spatial fluctuations, but Cheng Yu used his title to jump safely to the Monster Forest.
• Cheng Yu upgraded the Research Institute and unlocked the Enabler and Annihilator series, then ordered Model 0-6 Factories built across his territories.
• The system explained that the Enablers counter energy-based enemies and the customizable Annihilators counter powerful individuals.
• Cheng Yu ordered mass production of both series and sent the new units toward the battlefield.
• Cheng Yu returned to the Titan and saw that the war against the Calamity had begun.

Cheng Yu’s mechanical army fought a vast demonic invasion pouring from Abyssal Gates in the Jebel Theocracy, while he suspected a spatial authority fragment was shielding the gates. As the Xipu Federation considered surrendering to Constantine and Cheng Yu’s forces struggled to hold the front, Enablers and Annihilators finally reached the battlefield.

• Cheng Yu watched the mechanical army battle demons across the Jebel Theocracy and concluded that a spatial authority fragment was likely protecting the Abyssal Gates.
• Demons began advancing south toward the Xipu Federation, prompting First Seat Mary to urge the Thirteen Seats to surrender to Constantine after seeing the scale of his army.
• Cheng Yu committed his forces to the war, expanded troop production to hundreds of millions, and sent new troops toward the Xipu Federation as energy gains slowed and machines were recycled to sustain the front.
• Grete welcomed the demons as a chance to prove loyalty to the Abyssal Will, while Yog watched Black Dog and Miss Puppet observed her race’s debut.
• The Enabler and Annihilator armies arrived just as Cheng Yu felt his forces were nearing their limit.

Cheng Yu’s legions countered the demons’ escalating strength with Enabler units and powerful Annihilators, while the battle revealed the enormous resource costs of assembling those machines. The chapter ended as another development arose on the battlefield.

• Demon Corruption Warlocks corrupted the land around the Abyssal Gate, strengthening the demons, until Enabler units halted and reversed the corruption.
• Enabler 0-2 disrupted flying demons, while Enabler 0-3 and Enabler 0-4 attacked demons on the ground, though Enabler 0-4 also erased allied energy attacks.
• Annihilator 0-3 wounded a bronze three-star Afterimage Demon, which then retreated.
• Annihilator 0-6 defeated a silver one-star Two-Headed Demon, and Cheng Yu saw that the machine required fifty thousand tonnes of steel.
• Another development occurred on the battlefield, but Cheng Yu had not yet seen what it was.

Cheng Yu and the Wisdoms turned the tide of the Abyssal invasion by restoring the mechanical army’s energy and air superiority, then destroying an Abyssal Gate. The Abyssal Pope recognized Cheng Yu as a dangerous enemy.

• Conductor explained that Enabler 0-5 units could absorb energy from irradiated soil, demon remains, and coastal organisms to ease the army’s energy shortage.
• Cheng Yu approved the Wisdoms’ ambitious plan after Conductor estimated its success rate at ninety-one percent, then took the Iron Throne into the skies with one hundred thousand Enabler 0-6 bodyguards.
• The Iron Throne absorbed an Abyssal Corrosion Beam, while coordinated Enabler and Purger forces exploited the weakened gate to push the demons back.
• More than a thousand Enabler 0-2 units encircled an Abyssal Gate as Enabler 0-5 absorbed it and gained one billion units of energy.
• The Abyssal Pope sensed the gate’s disappearance and called Constantine a troublesome enemy.

Cheng Yu’s mechanical forces defeated Godard’s avatar after Godard descended through the Abyssal Gates, and the Legion absorbed the energy left behind. The Abyssal Pope was then pulled through a gate and vanished, while Cheng Yu’s victory left Godard carrying a warning about the mysterious Mechanicus.

• Artist detected a powerful interworld energy fluctuation, and Godard, the Demon Lord of the first layer, emerged from the Abyssal Gates in a Gold Three-Star avatar.
• Artist’s Ultra-High-Energy Particle Beam Cannon clashed with Godard’s Spear of Corrosion while Cheng Yu delayed him by posing as Yuri Constantine, a Mechanicus Inquisitor.
• Nearly ten million Enabler 0-2s and more than ten million Enabler 0-1s formed a ring that suppressed Godard’s strength and drove his consciousness back to his true body.
• Cheng Yu’s forces absorbed the energy left by Godard’s dissolution, restoring his reserves and gaining more than ten billion energy units.
• The Abyssal Pope watched Godard’s defeat, then the nearby Abyssal Gate sucked him inside despite his pleas for mercy.

Cheng Yu’s mechanical army gradually gained control of the Calamity War and carried out the Wisdom units’ plan to eliminate the demons across the Jebel Theocracy. After the Abyssal Gates were converted into energy, the war ended, and Cheng Yu confirmed the Xipu Federation had survived.

• After the giant demon’s defeat, Cheng Yu’s forces destroyed more than a dozen Abyssal Gates over sixty days while fighting a war of attrition.
• The mechanical army attacked the Jebel Theocracy’s capital, where Purifier 0-2 destroyed corrupted plants and treants as Enabler 0-3’s light mist helped repel the demons.
• More than forty thousand surviving Annihilators arrived and killed the high-level demons, allowing the mechanical army to secure air superiority across the war zone.
• With air superiority established, Cheng Yu authorized the plan: two hundred million Enabler 0-1 units weakened demons across the Jebel Theocracy while a ring of one hundred and fifty million Enabler 0-2 units turned them into sparks.
• Enabler 0-5 units absorbed the demons’ energy and converted the remaining Abyssal Gates, ending the Calamity War; Cheng Yu checked that the Xipu Federation was safe.

After defeating the Abyssal forces, Cheng Yu found and claimed Yog’s authority fragment in the Abyssal Grand Cathedral, where he rescued no one and killed the Succubus and Luthers. Back aboard the Iron Throne, Yog warned Cheng Yu that another plotline was beginning and told him to stay close if he wanted to avoid dying.

• Cheng Yu exchanged his Calamity War achievement for currency and saw that he had 5,400,000 currency.
• Cheng Yu tracked the authority fragment to the Jebel Theocracy’s capital and entered the Abyssal Grand Cathedral with Annihilators.
• Luthers summoned a Succubus, who tried to seduce him while he lay weakened in the cathedral.
• Cheng Yu resisted the Succubus’s information contamination, ordered the Annihilators to kill her, and took the fragment from Luthers’s corpse.
• Cheng Yu returned to the Iron Throne and gave Yog the authority fragment.
• Yog told Cheng Yu that another plotline was beginning and warned him to stay beside Yog to avoid dying.

The Abyssal Will, whose original name was Wu Yuan, attacked Cheng Yu but backed down when Yog intervened and forbade him from harming the apostle before he reached Mythic. With the Abyssal Will planning to consume the universe in nine months, Cheng Yu began organizing an effort to protect its people.

• Darkness covered Keynes World, and Yog identified the Abyssal Will as Cheng Yu’s longtime enemy before blocking its attack on him.
• The Abyssal Will appeared in human form, bowed to Yog, and accepted a prohibition against attacking Cheng Yu until he reached Mythic.
• Yog told the Abyssal Will that Cheng Yu would eventually be his end and threatened to destroy the Abyssal Will if Cheng Yu died.
• The Abyssal Will returned to the First Layer of the Abyss and killed Godard, while Grete realized how much the Abyssal Will feared Yog.
• Yog told Cheng Yu the Abyssal Will would arrive in nine months, and Cheng Yu began explaining his preparations to the Wisdoms.
