Chapter Summaries

Odin used the Aura Bullet Dragon to study the light-rule fragment in the Crystal Core and discovered that the space around him had been compressed into far fewer layers than he had perceived before. Elsewhere, the temples began investigating the chief god who killed the God of Light, while Odin wondered whether he had been led astray or set up.

• The Pope returned to the God of Light Church headquarters bedridden with despair after the God of Light fell, while two Archbishops stood beside him.
• The Storm Temple received an oracle from the God of Storms and sent the young man and Wind north to investigate; other temples also began gathering information about Odin.
• Odin studied the Crystal Core to find a way to restore Ponzu's lifespan and summoned an Aura Bullet Dragon to help him understand its rules.
• The Aura Bullet Dragon raised Odin's perception, allowing him to recognize patterns of refraction, absorption, and scattering in the light-rule fragment.
• While studying, Odin noticed that the surrounding space contained far less information than before, as though it had been compressed into a single layer, and wondered if he had been set up.

Odin grew wary of the shell surrounding his realm and focused on strengthening himself, while Ging set out to explore. In a forest far from Elf City, Ging discovered an elf speaking to a tree.

• Odin learned the minor light rules of refraction, absorption, and scattering, then asked the Aura Bullet Dragon whether stronger beings existed beyond the realm and learned that they did.
• Odin decided not to rush into the next realm and devoted himself to cultivating his Nen, true essence, and soul, while Ponzu and their companions also trained.
• Ging asked Odin to explore, and Odin gave him an empty Spell Book so he could make cards from materials he found.
• Ging traveled west for two days, reached a forest about three thousand kilometers from Elf City, and spotted an elf stroking a tree as if speaking to it.

Ging met the elf Elwen in the forest and followed her to her tribe, where he discovered a hidden woodland settlement. Elwen brought him to see Queen, while Odin secretly monitored Ging’s exploration.

• Ging revealed himself to Elwen, who lowered her bow after deciding he was an elf and hearing that he could handle their pursuers.
• Ging and Elwen introduced themselves, and Elwen invited him to visit her tribe; Ging accepted to learn about elven civilization and investigate Odin’s mission.
• Odin watched the area remotely and had equipped Ging with an exploration device and a communicator for his scouting trip.
• Elwen led Ging through a concealed passage in a massive tree to a valley settlement of treehouses, which Odin called the Peach Blossom Spring.
• Elwen brought Ging to the tribe’s largest treehouse, and its guards admitted them after she asked to see Queen.

Ging met the Elf Queen, who delivered a leaf from the Goddess of Nature meant for a follower of Odin, and Odin claimed it through Ging’s ring. As Elwen showed Ging around the elven kingdom, he described Odin’s divine authority as Hunter, leaving Elwen convinced while Odin sensed something from afar.

• The Elf Queen asked Ging whether he had been involved in the fall of the God of Light, and Ging confirmed it, astonishing Elwen.
• The Elf Queen gave Ging an emerald leaf entrusted by the Goddess of Nature, but Odin made it vanish from Ging’s hand and received it himself.
• The Elf Queen concluded that Ging’s chief god had been watching him and sent Elwen to show Ging around the kingdom.
• Elwen asked about Odin’s divine authority, and Ging called it Hunter, describing a power that treated all kinds of things as prey.
• Elwen believed Ging’s explanation, while Odin sensed something as he examined the leaf.

Odin examined a newly appeared Hunter law and discovered that it could be used to condense a godhead, though he set it aside. The Goddess of Nature contacted him to warn that the other high gods might challenge him and that a war could destroy the continent; Odin agreed to preserve their strength while they faced an unknown threat.

• Odin used the Aura Bullet Dragon to inspect the Hunter law and learned that merging it with his soul could condense a godhead.
• Odin examined the emerald-green leaf, discovered it carried a message and location link, and summoned the Goddess of Nature.
• The Goddess of Nature warned Odin that the other high gods would come to test or challenge him after he killed the God of Light.
• The Goddess of Nature cautioned Odin that conflict among high gods could destroy the continent and urged him to preserve fighting strength against unknown threats.
• Odin agreed to spare the other high gods if possible, and the Goddess of Nature vanished as the leaf withered.

Elwen and Ging found a hunting party of elves under attack by slave hunters using weakening potions and armor. Ging killed the attackers and healed a wounded elf, leaving the grateful elves to learn that he was a powerful ally.

• Elwen heard the hunting party's warning horns and led Ging and the other elves toward the fighting.
• Elwen attacked the slave hunters, but their weakening potion and strong armor trapped her group.
• Ging killed the slave hunters, including their bald leader, after the leader mistook him for someone at the Holy Domain level.
• Ging used a Healing Card to heal a badly wounded elf and waited for the potion's effects to wear off.
• An older elf thanked Ging, and Elwen introduced him as Ging, an elf from the north.

Ging arranged for the 237 elves to leave their exposed home and relocate to Elf City, where Odin had promised to provide for them. Kite transported the elves away, and Ging continued his adventure.

• Ging contacted Odin, who agreed to take in the elves and sent Kite to collect them.
• The Elf Queen ordered the 237 elves to pack, and Ging reassured Elwen that they would be welcomed in Elf City.
• The elves gathered outside their tribe, and Kite arrived after crashing into the clearing’s edge.
• Kite used a special Accompany card to transport the elves toward Elf City, and Ging resumed his adventure.

Kite brought the Elf Queen and 236 other elves to Elf City, where they marveled at its imposing gates, concrete roads, buildings, and electric streetlights. Kurapika welcomed them and led them to a plot reserved as their homeland, where they began choosing living treehouses from his tablet.

• Kite brought the 237 elves through Elf City's massive gates and showed them the clean streets, concrete buildings, and streetlights.
• The elves questioned Kite about the city's unfamiliar construction and electricity, while Elwen wondered how an elven city could be so modern.
• Kurapika arrived to receive the elves, and after a male elf objected to following a human, the Elf Queen agreed to go with him.
• Kurapika led the elves to a large plot marked "Elf Homeland" and offered to arrange whatever houses they wanted.
• Kurapika showed the Elf Queen living treehouse designs on his tablet, and the elves took turns choosing their favorites as he began setting them up.

Half a year after Elf City expanded to house Elves, Orcs, and Dwarves, Odin compressed the Hunter Rule into a token for future Hunter chairmen. He remained focused on studying new Nen Abilities, having discovered two that delighted him.

• Morel, Shoot, and Knuckle discussed Elf City's new districts, the arrival of cat-type Orcs brought by Ging, and concerns over teaching Nen to the newcomers.
• The Dwarves continued forging iron in their workshop while Cheadle, Kurapika, and others managed issues among the city's residents.
• Odin told Ponzu that the golden crystal would become the Hunter chairman's token, allowing its holder to wield the Hunter Godhead and designate targets for a hunt.
• Odin explained that he had compressed the Hunter Rule into the token so he could avoid becoming the Hunter Chief God, since he could use the rule's methods through his Nen Ability.
• Odin said he was more interested in new Nen Abilities and noted that Elwen had developed the power to decide whether injuries within her sight were real.

Odin’s copied Nen Abilities let him negate injuries within his Observation Haki’s range, and he began his breakthrough from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Deification Realm. After merging his soul with his Nascent Soul, he formed a divine soul and rapidly advanced it by simulating the energy it needed.

• The chapter explained how Elwen’s Nen Ability denied injuries for people she saw, and how Odin’s Perception Is My Eyes expanded its reach across his Observation Haki range.
• Ponzu continued cultivating with her animals while Odin announced that he was ready to break through to the Deification Realm.
• Odin merged his soul and Nascent Soul in his Nen Script Dantian, transforming them into a divine soul.
• Odin gained a second perspective through his divine soul and found that he could control it more responsively than his physical body.
• Odin simulated divine soul energy with his Nen Ability and infused it into his divine soul, accelerating his Deification Realm cultivation.

Odin endured a city-wide surge of pressure while his divine soul reached full mastery of the Deification realm. He explained his rapid progress to Ponzu and considered how he might create an Immortal, though he still lacked the True Essence needed to advance to Integration.

• Odin's growing aura overwhelmed Ponzu and shook her house, then spread across Elf City and alarmed its inhabitants for twelve hours.
• The Elf Queen and others learned Odin had caused the pressure and felt reassured by his strength, while Netero eagerly wanted to spar with him.
• After another day of cultivation, Odin opened his eyes and found that his divine soul had reached full mastery of the Deification realm.
• Odin tested his Nen and True Essence, discovered his divine soul could absorb no more Reiatsu, and decided to condense it rather than expand it into a giant divine soul.
• Odin told Ponzu that his early soul training and Nen Ability had let him reach full mastery in one day, but said he lacked enough True Essence to advance to Integration.
• Odin explained that he could create an Immortal by shrinking his Nen Script Dantian and personally intervening.

Odin discovered two giant octopus-like outsiders had entered the world and learned from their memories that they had identified him as a high-density energy entity and recommended capturing him. He confronted them at the shell, hoping to study their energy, and one of them sealed the surrounding space.

• Odin explained that raising an ordinary person to the earth immortal realm would not make them a match for Netero, so he and Ponzu resumed cultivating.
• Odin sensed a faint vibration in the world’s shell, where a hole opened and two powerful octopus-like creatures entered.
• Odin used the Aura Bullet Dragon to obtain the creatures’ memories and learn their language, discovering that they had marked his location and recommended his capture.
• Odin appeared beside the shell to confront the creatures, intending to observe their energy while avoiding death.
• One of the creatures pointed a tentacle at Odin and sent out a pulse that seemed to seal the surrounding space.

Odin fought two giant octopuses that wielded spatial techniques and starry sky Nen, while studying their abilities. He discovered that starry sky Nen dramatically increased the true essence he gained through conversion and began working out how to produce it himself.

• Odin tested the octopuses’ spatial seal and secretly studied its energy while one of them traced a glowing pattern in the air.
• Odin attacked the octopus drawing the pattern with an Aura Bullet, but it broke the attack apart with pale blue energy.
• The other octopus fired six lasers that tore rifts in space, then launched erratic energy spheres at Odin.
• Odin countered with a burst of Aura Bullets, whose collisions with the spheres shattered space around the fighters.
• Odin recognized the octopuses’ power as Nen infused with starry sky energy and found that converting it into true essence greatly improved his gains.
• Odin began analyzing how to blend starry sky energy into his Nen without relying on his conversion ability.

Odin watched two octopuses open a portal and attack him with powerful lasers and energy weapons, then fought back with his Nen. He realized the creatures might belong to an advanced cosmic civilization, and the chapter ended with one octopus recovering from his punch far faster than expected.

• Odin memorized the octopus's patterns as it opened a portal above him.
• The portal fired a powerful laser at Odin, who dodged and suspected the octopuses had advanced technology.
• The octopuses widened the portal and attacked Odin with lasers and an energy net.
• Odin destroyed the net with an Aura Bullet, blocked energy blades, and punched one octopus with Nen: Armament Haki.
• The octopus flew into the spatial shell and rapidly healed its dented head, surprising Odin.

Odin defeated two octopuses in the wasteland and imprisoned them in his Four-Dimensional World. He began monitoring and studying their bodies, taking a tissue sample from one of them.

• Odin destroyed the portal with En Slashes, severing two of the distant octopus’s tentacles in the process.
• Odin reinforced an En Slash with spatial energy to cut through the other octopus’s spatial-thread net, then destroyed its floating cannon with an Aura Bullet.
• Odin fired five Aura Bullets at an octopus trying to escape, breaking its shield and bringing both octopuses down in the wasteland.
• Odin transported the wounded but living octopuses to a sealed area in his Four-Dimensional World.
• Odin monitored the octopuses, analyzed their bodies, and collected a tissue sample from one of them.

Odin studied the octopuses’ cells and extracted their memories, discovering their innate starry sky nen, advanced civilization, and the technology that resurrected them after death. He realized the testing grounds also served as a livestock farm and a simulation ground for nen applications.

• Odin found energy-storage particles in the octopuses’ cells that absorbed cosmic energy and formed starry sky nen.
• Odin used the Aura Bullet Dragon to extract memories, learning that the octopuses’ consciousnesses were stored as data and transferred into cloned bodies if they stayed outside their world for more than ten minutes.
• Odin ordered the Aura Bullet Dragon to copy both octopuses’ complete memories and saw their ocean home, enormous space station, and advanced technology.
• Odin learned that the octopuses were born with starry sky nen and used magic to create portals and summon technology in combat.
• Odin concluded that the testing grounds served as both a livestock farm and a simulation ground for nen applications.

Odin learned that the Yura civilization planned to harvest the testing ground in a year, then transformed into a star octopus and escaped through a portal. He arrived near the Yura home territory, where he saw a vast ocean and its creatures.

• Odin searched the octopuses’ memories and learned that the Yura civilization had established the testing grounds and would harvest them every hundred years.
• Odin discovered the Yura’s Star Network, military forces, and planet-destroying Star Destroyer, then decided to keep the two unconscious octopuses alive.
• Odin used the Monkey Talisman to transform into a star octopus and opened a portal out of the testing ground.
• Odin sensed countless energy signatures outside and identified the Yura home territory a few light-seconds away.
• Odin opened a wormhole to the territory and emerged above a vast ocean filled with swimming creatures.

Odin explored the Starry Sky Octopuses’ peaceful underwater city, then used a wormhole to enter their space station and investigate its testing facilities. He reached a building guarded by a large concentration of powerful octopuses, leaving his next move unresolved.

• Odin surveyed the underwater city and judged that its weak royal family offered no value to his plans.
• Odin opened a portal in the water and followed the airlock procedure from the octopuses’ memories to enter the space station.
• Odin overheard workers report that Testing Ground 18 had reached its energy index ahead of schedule and was nearly ready for harvesting.
• Odin passed a laboratory, a control room containing experiment data, and a warehouse full of energy blocks without stopping to investigate them.
• Odin arrived at a building where he sensed at least three Main Gods with tribulation-transcendence-level combat power and eighteen with integration-level combat power.

Odin infiltrated a Starry Sky Octopus space station and used teleportation to capture its leaders, then challenged them to a fight in his Four-Dimensional World. The octopuses recognized him as a talented junior but insisted that the transfer of power could not happen for another eight years, and Odin refused to wait.

• Odin bypassed the station's security and entered a hall where dozens of Starry Sky Octopuses worked around a glowing orb.
• Odin teleported the octopuses from the hall into his Four-Dimensional World, then captured eighteen Integration-stage chief gods and three Tribulation Transcendence-stage chief gods on the floors above.
• Odin placed the captured octopuses among the stars in his Four-Dimensional World and challenged them to fight him for power.
• A crowned Tribulation Transcendence-stage chief god reminded Odin that the last transfer of power had been two years earlier and the next was eight years away.
• Odin said he would not wait, and the three Tribulation Transcendence-stage chief gods exchanged glances and nodded.

Odin defeated a Deification Starry Sky Octopus and demanded control authority over the entire Starry Sky Octopus species. A Tribulation Transcendence Main God octopus attacked him with Particle Black Holes, and Odin studied the technique before touching one directly.

• Odin fought the Deification Starry Sky Octopus, countering its attacks with Aura Bullets until it conceded defeat.
• The crowned Tribulation Transcendence octopus offered Odin a place among the Regimes, but Odin demanded control authority over the entire species.
• When another Tribulation Transcendence octopus challenged him, Odin used spatial Nen to split his aura membrane and teleport away the Particle Black Holes.
• The Tribulation Transcendence Main God octopus launched a Particle Black Hole at Odin, who studied how it formed and then reached out to touch it.
