Chapter Summaries

Demon Monarch Mipisi abandoned his imminent conquest of Amida World after receiving Demon God Silver Eye Hughes’s order to assemble the Abyss armies for an invasion of Valen World. Ten years later, Jiang Yuu faced a newly arrived force of nearly a hundred Demon Monarchs as the Abyss counterattack began.

• Demon Monarch Mipisi ordered his armies to retreat from Amida World after a Demon Lord relayed Hughes’s command.

• A Demon Monarch bearing silver markings emerged with a black chain and nearly a hundred unfamiliar Demon Monarchs, declaring that they would capture and kill Yuliel by Hughes’s command.

Jiang Yuu faced an army of Demons and a Demon Monarch wielding a Grand Divine Power artifact, then fought off nearly one hundred Demon Monarchs and seized the chain. Injured but still feared, he declared a line between the realms that no Demon could cross.

• Jiang Yuu exchanged places with his true body and stopped the chain’s attack with his sword, then rejected Hughes’s offer to make him a Deputy Sovereign of the 997th Layer of the Abyss.

• In the year 3623, the Hasoladi Kingdom conquered the Lionheart Kingdom’s Three-Fork River Region, sending refugees to Wells Port and throwing the kingdom into uproar.

The Hasoladi Kingdom defeated the Lionheart Kingdom repeatedly, seized the Three-Fork River Region and later captured three northern commanderies, nearly reaching Bolek City.

Arthur Lionheart chose to let the Lionheart Kingdom face its civil war, while Annatania checked Silivans’s progress toward greater divine power. In the Underworld, Andaras continued to rule a realm divided among its factions, and a mysterious scythe-bearing figure appeared in his palace.

• Arthur Lionheart told Katades not to intervene in the Lionheart Kingdom’s civil war, believing a crisis could revive the family.
• Arthur reassured Katades that Feland’s gods would not dare threaten Paradise Mountain while Annatania guarded it, and he praised Silivans’s impending advancement.

Jiang Yuu consolidated his control over the Divine Realm while the war on Valen continued, and the gods advanced against the demons. At the western defensive line, Azkele was abandoned by his allies and surrendered to Aikalia when she recognized him.

• Jiang Yuu revealed the Platinum Holy Throne and continued assimilating the Divine Realm’s authority, while Thetis told the three God-Kings that he would soon attain grand divine power.

• Aikalia recognized Azkele and attacked him, and he surrendered rather than fight.

After capturing Azkele, Jiang Yuu questioned him about a world that had severed an Abyss layer and learned how the Abyss Will responded. Azkele revealed that the world had endured years of war before powerful beings from the Abyss corrupted it, leaving Jiang Yuu and the gods to consider the danger.

• Aikalia spared the surrendering Azkele after another god advised her to let Jiang Yuu decide his fate.
• Jiang Yuu arrived, and Azkele prostrated himself and offered his true name and heart in exchange for submission.
• Azkele told Jiang Yuu that a super-world had persuaded demons to surrender, severed an Abyss layer, and devoured it.
• Azkele explained that the Abyss Will had no individual consciousness and would treat a severed layer as hostile, triggering Abyss Blood War mode.
• Azkele said that powerful beings from the Abyss had ultimately corrupted the super-world, prompting the Silver Moon Goddess to move against him before Jiang Yuu stopped her.

Jiang Yuu forced Azkele to submit and tasked him with closing the Abyss Gate during a future counteroffensive, promising him a chance to rule a layer of Hell. A thousand years later, Azkele remained undercover among the Demon Monarchs and impatiently awaited Jiang Yuu’s signal.

• Jiang Yuu made Azkele swear loyalty, planted the Flame of Judgment in his heart, and ordered him to close the Gate of the Abyss before the Demon Monarchs could flee.
• Jiang Yuu promised Azkele he could become a candidate to rule a layer of Hell if he carried out the task.
• The Silver Moon Goddess Aikalia worried that Azkele might reveal Feland’s coordinates, but Jiang Yuu argued that Azkele had no reason to betray them.
• A thousand years later, Azkele sat on an Abyss Demon Monarch’s Throne, concealed his contempt for the Demons, and wondered when Jiang Yuu would begin the counteroffensive.

Azkele overheard Demon Monarchs discuss a Champion Demon King who was coming to establish the 1004th Layer of the Abyss and might be recruited to attack the White Gold Moon. After his demon heart reaffirmed his loyalty to Yuliel, Azkele decided to pass on the news, and the story moved to the Youmanli Kingdom.

• Demon Monarchs discussed a Champion Demon King who had won a hundred thousand Demon Arena matches and was heading to the Outer Abyss to establish a new layer.
• A Demon Monarch speculated that Silver Eye Hughes had sent a Silver-Patterned Demon Monarch to invite the Champion Demon King to attack the White Gold Moon and defeat Yuliel.

• Azkele decided to tell Yuliel what he had heard.
• Several days later, the story shifted to the Youmanli Kingdom behind the central defensive line.

Jiang Yuu received a message from Azkele about a Champion Demon King and grew eager to meet whoever claimed the title. Meanwhile, a Demon Monarch arrived in a vast, prosperous Inner Abyss territory ruled by a Supreme Divine Power, where Amos, the Champion Demon King, held land.

Amos prepared to establish his own layer of the Abyss but lacked enough world coordinates and resources to repay the Abyss Will. Demon God Silver Eye’s envoy offered him ten large-world coordinates and future aid in exchange for killing a powerful deity, and Amos agreed before sending the envoy away with a warning.

• Amos planned to use his Demon God's Proof to establish a layer of the Abyss, but he still needed more world coordinates and resources to meet the Abyss Will’s ten-thousand-year repayment demands.
• Demon God Silver Eye’s envoy asked Amos to kill a deity of greater divine power while Lord Hughes remained occupied suppressing three beings of grand divine power.
• The envoy promised Amos coordinates for ten large worlds and future loans of souls and world fragments if he killed the deity.

After Soladis and Silivans ascended to greater divine power, Annatania entrusted Silivans with Yuliel’s plan to connect worlds across the Astral Realm. Silivans accepted the task of becoming Paradise Mountain’s World Tree.

• Annatania told Silivans that Yuliel believed he could become a god of grand divine power and conveyed his plan to gather worlds around Paradise Mountain.
• Annatania asked Silivans to place his true body in the Astral Realm and extend his branches between worlds, and Silivans accepted.

Silivans transformed into a World Tree connecting small worlds, while Amos reached the 997th Layer of the Abyss and agreed to kill a god for Silver Eye Hughes. On the Day of the High Sun in Valen World, Jiang Yuu opened his eyes and looked toward the Abyss Gate of Spacetime.

• Annatania explained how Silivans could grow into a World Tree, and he agreed to begin by taking root in a medium-sized world.
• Several years later, Silivans appeared as a world-sized oak, with branches already connecting small worlds, drawing wary comments from the gods and Soladis.
