Diya nearly took advantage of Ash while he slept, but Sonia interrupted and later confronted her privately. Sonia then revealed Felix’s Command Seal had upgraded and took Felix and Diya outside to witness the Star Law Master draw the Gilded River into reality, beginning the second feeding.

• Diya used the Chiming Bronze Dragon to become an adult and control Ash, then nearly unbuttoned his clothes while Liss slept.
• Sonia arrived and caught Diya; after Diya went downstairs, Sonia stayed behind with Ash and warned Diya not to do it again.
• Sonia noticed Felix’s Command Seal had risen from two-star Proxy to three-star Advisor, and Felix suggested Ash’s trust had grown because she cared for the Observer Seat.
• Sonia led Felix and Diya outside, where Daedalus showed them the Gilded River flowing into Gala City and announced that the second feeding had begun.

As Daedalus, Sonia, Diya, and Felix visited the Starry Sky Festival, they learned that the White Tower was the core of the Multistar Ritual and decided against attacking it. Elsewhere, five stolen sculptures transformed into figures who armed themselves and slipped into the crowd.

• Daedalus explained that the Gilded River marked the Star Law Master's attempt to devour the Source Angel's Golden Wing, and Sonia recognized the White Tower as the ritual's center.
• Daedalus warned that attacking the White Tower would expose the Four Pillar Gods Church and risk a disastrous battle, so the group chose to wait for a future decisive moment.
• Daedalus pulled Sonia, Diya, and Felix into the festival crowd to relax, while Diya briefly watched the sculpture convoy with suspicion.
• Workers discovered that five sculptures had disappeared from the Sword Flower University convoy.
• Five figures transformed from stiff, stone-like bodies into people, stole masks, swords, and a windbreaker, and disappeared into the festival crowd.

Black and White Lady, revealed as Black Devil, enjoyed the Starry Sky Festival while Doomsday Watcher and Silver Lamp Mirror Master discussed the accelerated plan and the group’s chance to revisit old homes.

• Nether Devil teased Death Frenzy for secretly ordering and tasting a Crimson Flame Lala Fat at the Dining Hall.

Watcher and his group prepared to pose as Tide members for a mission, but their clothes-shopping trip was interrupted when Sonia, Lysithea, Felix, and Daedalus entered the same store. The group hid to avoid being recognized, and Nether Devil was tasked with distracting them as the chapter ended.

• Death Frenzy named Tide and three dormant organizations that the group could impersonate, and Watcher agreed to prepare for the mission.
• Mirror Master suggested buying Tide-style clothes, so the group went to Kuro and changed into purplish-blue outfits.
• Watcher spotted Sonia, Lysithea, Felix, and Daedalus entering the store and warned Mirror Master that their strong resonance could expose the group.
• Watcher and Mirror Master hid near the fitting rooms while Nether Devil alerted Death Frenzy and Black Devil.
• When Sonia and the others approached, Watcher ordered Nether Devil to lure them away, and she admitted her maid outfit had caused the trouble.

Sonia, Diya, Felix, and Daedalus went shopping at the Starry Sky Festival, where teasing over clothes and an accidental glimpse of a couple kissing led Sonia and Diya to threaten Felix with a trip to the lingerie store. Meanwhile, the Watcher and the other Demon Kings hid in the clothing store, then set out with permission to cause trouble, ending as four Demon Kings who had cast off their chains.

• Sonia and Diya enjoyed ice cream and shopping together, while Diya protested being mistaken for Sonia's daughter.
• Sonia and Diya dragged Felix into Kuro Clothing Store, where they made her try on a skirt and sportswear before deciding to find her a maid outfit.
• Sonia and Diya saw the Purple Blue Maid Outfit kissing a man, then discovered another woman in his arms and hurried out of the store.
• Felix teased Sonia and Diya about noble circles' sexual customs, so the two seized her and announced they would take her to pick out swimsuits and lingerie.
• The Watcher, Nether Devil, and Mirror Master revealed that the public kiss had been a cover to hide their identities, and the Black Devil and Death Frenzy joined them.
• The Watcher told the four Demon Kings to do whatever they wanted, and they left the store ready to unleash chaos.

Aisha and Ingrid watched White Tower Fortress, but Aisha found no exploitable flaw and decided to leave. Five mysterious Saint Domain Artificers then attacked the fortress, and a red-haired swordswoman used Annihilation Ripple to destroy its outer wall.

• Aisha discussed whether sheep should destroy their pen with Ingrid, who said each living being should choose whether to fight for freedom or safety.
• Aisha ended her investigation and told the other Tide-Makers that White Tower Fortress had no weakness they could exploit.
• Five violet-blue-clad Saint Domain Artificers appeared outside the fortress, and Aisha confirmed that none of the Tide's members were responsible for their arrival.
• The five discussed their Spell Spirits and chose the red-haired swordswoman to attack the wall with the Ripple Sword Spell Spirit system.
• The swordswoman's Annihilation Ripple formed a blood-colored sphere that destroyed the outer wall and its defenders, stunning Aisha and Ingrid.

Five masked Invaders breached White Tower Fortress, where Star Country’s defenders discovered their Void Saint Domain and Silver Lamp could neutralize conventional attacks and turn arcanists against each other. The Alchemy King identified the red-haired swordswoman’s feat as Divine Might and ordered a renewed assault, but the chapter ended with the defenders assuming she was the Invaders’ strongest fighter.

• The Fortress Legion bombarded the Invaders, but the Alchemy King explained that a spatial Legendary’s Void Saint Domain could pass attacks through space without consuming Spell Power.
• Mirror Master’s Silver Lamp enchanted nearby White Tower arcanists, who turned their guns on their own comrades as the five Invaders advanced.
• Death Frenzy confronted the Anti-Artificer Guns, and the red-haired swordswoman reflected ten bullets with one strike, leading the Alchemy King to call her technique Divine Might.
• The Alchemy King ordered more Anti-Artificer Guns to fire while Griffin Company and the Fortress Legion attacked the Invaders’ Void Saint Domain with three veteran Saint Domains.
• The Alchemy King’s plan depended on the red-haired swordswoman being the Invaders’ strongest fighter, a conclusion the chapter left in doubt.

Watcher’s group broke through the Second Fortress and faced the Inner Fort, whose barrier was empowered by the Star Law Master. Watcher used the group’s Guardian Spirits and the Gilded River to summon a phantom from the distant future, leaving the story with the arrival of One-Winged.

• Black Devil froze and slaughtered three Saint Domains in one second, while Nether Devil used Mirror Master’s Reincarnation Illusion Mirror Dragon to stack her strikes and destroy the Second Fortress gate.
• Watcher led Death Frenzy, Mirror Master, Nether Devil, and Black Devil through the encirclement toward the Inner Fort, where they rebounded the White Tower Arcanists’ Anti-Artificer Gun Bullets.
• Alchemy King warned that the Inner Fort’s Star-empowered barrier could not be broken, and the group recognized that their power still fell short of a Divine Lord’s.
• Watcher criticized Ash’s Miracle, then asked the four companions to lend him their Guardian Spirits’ power and cast the Miracle Sword Servant against the Inner Fort barrier.
• As the Inner Fort barrier remained intact, the Gilded River began shrinking; Watcher explained that he had used it correctly, like the Star Law Master, and a black figure emerged from the river as One-Winged.

Gala City’s artificers rallied to defend White Tower Fortress as five mysterious Legendary Arcanists breached its defenses and advanced toward the Gilded River. The river began rapidly shrinking despite the Inner Fort’s barrier still standing, leaving Sonia and the others to wonder what immense time miracle was consuming it.

• Daedalus sang the Multistar epic to rally Gala City’s artificers, while Sonia, Diya, and Felix realized her anti-Star Country loyalties were hidden from the crowd.
• Oleron urged the gathered artificers to defend their homeland without rushing into battle, and Sonia and the other Saint Domain Artificers joined the group heading to White Tower Fortress.
• At the breach, Dimi recognized a near-perfect Annihilation Ripple, and Aisha reported that five Legendary Arcanists—one red-haired female swordsman and four women—had attacked the fortress.
• Ingrid identified the invaders’ violet-blue clothing as Tide’s signature attire, while Aisha said they had passed the Second Fortress and were nearing the Inner Fort.
• The Gilded River began shrinking rapidly even though the Inner Fort’s barrier remained intact, and Sonia concluded that some immense time miracle was consuming it.

The Alchemy King and the White Tower artificers tried to stop Watcher’s Sword Servant from completing its six-winged transformation by cutting off the Gilded River. The Sword Servant unleashed its power, devastating the Inner Fort, while Watcher left the aftermath behind and the Gilded River vanished.

• Watcher’s companions defeated the Saint Domain Artificers and disrupted the White Tower’s attempts to attack them as the Sword Servant grew from two wings to five.
• The Alchemy King ordered the White Tower artificers to attack the Gilded River, then joined them in cutting off its flow just as the Sword Servant reached six wings.
• The Alchemy King summoned the Gilt Thorn Dragon and charged the Sword Servant, but its sword strike shattered the Inner Fort’s barrier and unleashed Sword Qi across Gala City.
• Watcher and his companions entered the ruined Inner Fort, where Watcher looked at his reflection in the Gilded River and said he would leave the rest to them.
• The Gilded River reversed course and vanished, and the Griffin Company and Fortress Legion later found no one in the ruins except a few broken statue fragments.

Ash accompanied Vishy on her maid vacation, enduring her deliberate attempts to provoke him as they visited a nail salon and planned more stops around the city. The day ended with Vishy explaining that elven manicures once served a magical purpose and revealing that the dwarves had disappeared.

• Ash asked whether all Demigods cared only about their own desires, and Vishy explained why she chose to live as a lone wolf rather than join or lead an organization.
• Vishy teased Ash about fearing her like a wolf, then asked why Rose was absent; Ash said Rose was handling company and Police Department business.

As he and Vishy discussed his feelings for Philly, the second Angel Hunting began, bringing a Golden Holy Grail and the appearance of the Six Kingdoms Legion.

• Vishy confronted Ash about treating Philly as a disposable phantom, and Ash declared that Philly was his friend and deserved the same protections as his other friends.
• At the aquarium, Vishy accused Ash of avoiding deeper feelings for Philly because he feared their inevitable parting, and Ash accepted that her words forced him to face his guilt over Multistar's fate.
• Ash explained that he doubted Philly loved him for himself and believed she would lose interest if she understood his ordinary, diminished life, while Vishy questioned whether he could truly remain only her friend.
• Golden Rain began falling over Kashi, and a huge White Bull appeared in City Center before vanishing and leaving suspended Golden Holy Grails that began filling with Rainbow Nectar.
• The second Angel Hunting began, and pillars of colored light rose across Kashi as Ash identified the nearest one as the Six Kingdoms Legion.

Ash struggled with the knowledge that returning to reality would destroy Multistar Country, while Vishy challenged his reasons for keeping Philly at a distance. Their conversation was interrupted when golden rain announced the start of the second Angel Hunting, and Ash recognized the rising pillars of light as the Six Kingdoms Legion.

• Ash admitted to Vishy that his growing attachment to the people of Multistar Country made their fate painful, though he knew he could not save them and return to reality at the same time.

• Ash identified the pillars of light as the Six Kingdoms Legion.

Philly trained with Vosrodar for a month and managed to release Sword Qi Ripple in a real fight. When Vosrodar learned about her boyfriend’s other partners, Philly revealed that she was the fourth party in the relationship.

• Philly used Sword Qi Ripple to defeat Vosrodar for the first time, and they fled after breaking a neighbor’s broom.
• Vosrodar demonstrated that his Sword Qi Ripple could cut through a steel pipe and told Philly she still had much to learn.
• Philly thanked Vosrodar and said she had learned Sword Art to protect a boy whose living environment was dangerous.
• Vosrodar suspected that Philly’s boyfriend had other Sword Art practitioners around him and urged her to test his character.
• Philly told Vosrodar about the boy’s partners, and he mistakenly thought she was his official girlfriend before she admitted she was the fourth party.

Philly admitted her feelings for the boy to Vosrodar, who tried to dissuade her by telling a cautionary story drawn from his own past. When Golden Rain and the Golden Holy Grail appeared, Vosrodar uncovered the danger behind the Angel Hunting, while Rose continued working as a Blood Tomb Dragon Lich passed her window.

• Philly told Vosrodar she liked the boy because she felt comfortable with him and admired his generosity, and she confessed she had dreamed of bathing with him.

Ash and Vishy fought their way through Jia Shi as they discovered that the Six Kingdoms Legion’s extraordinary powers had been suppressed by Mystic Chains, while the same restrictions kept Artificers from using Miracles against them. With enemies closing in and Philly’s whereabouts uncertain, they chose to keep fighting and delay drinking the Holy Grails for as long as possible.

• Ash and Vishy entered Pearl Plaza, where Ash fought Wolf Beasts with twin swords and Vishy armed herself with a spear fashioned from a storefront frame and jewelry.
• Two Raven Slaughters ambushed Ash, who killed them and escaped the plaza with Vishy as Gray Fox Watchers descended from above.
• Ash and Vishy noticed that the Six Kingdoms Legion units could no longer revive or use extraordinary powers, and concluded Mystic Chains would punish Artificers who used Miracles against them.
• At a quiet intersection surrounded by Legion forces, Ash and Vishy discussed the Holy Grails, the missing phone signal, and whether Philly might have already drunk from one.
• Ash and Vishy decided to hold out for as long as they could, then stood back-to-back to face the approaching Six Kingdoms Legion.

• Vishy used her Void Wings to save Ash from a lethal attack, but the Mystic Chains shattered the wings and left her weakened.
• Niya arrived, killed the Grave-Guarding Corpse Wolf, and joined Ash as they faced the remaining danger.

Ash, Vishy, and Niya fought through the monster horde and discovered that drinking the Golden Holy Grail after its Nectar accumulated would mark Spellcasters with a visible Rainbow Beam, turning them into targets for the Source Angel’s real hunt. As they prepared to break through another blockade, a blond girl ran into Ash’s path while the hidden sniper fired.

• Vishy explained that the Mystic Chains had destroyed her Silver Wing and Golden Wing but spared her Seven-Colored Wing, and Ash learned that her lost wings could not normally be restored.
• Niya said she had resisted drinking from the Holy Grail while fighting monsters, and Ash warned her that a sniper who aimed for only one second was still nearby.
• Ash, Vishy, and Niya left the plaza and tried to draw the sniper into another attack, but the sniper stopped shooting.
• They saw a Legendary shadow spell destroy the nearby high-rises and noticed Rainbow Beams marking people who had drunk from the Holy Grail.
• Vishy concluded that the Golden Holy Grail’s accumulated Nectar could grant a Seventh Void Wing but would expose its drinkers, making Spellcasters the prey in the Source Angel’s hunt.
• A blond girl carrying a Bamboo Sword ran from an alley and recognized Ash, but Ash warned her about the sniper as a deadly bullet flew toward them.
