Chapter Summaries

After Ye Qiyan killed the Kamaitachi God, the Plague Rat God unleashed a world-consuming plague tide with support from Abyss. Ye Qiyan remained calm as the god appeared before him, leaving the battle about to begin.

• The Plague Rat God appeared above the Black Tide and taunted Ye Qiyan, who calmly called it an ugly rat.

Ye Qiyan revealed that he could use the Anchor’s [Banishment] again, but chose to test his strength against the Plague Rat God without using the Blasphemy Card. He unleashed his demons and machines against the god and launched a Transcendence Warhead, leaving the Plague Rat God with no chance to reveal its hidden trump card first.

• Ye Qiyan replenished his mental energy and stamina with Ebony, then directed Eve, Red Tears, and Hunt against the wounded god.

• The Train System confirmed the Plague Rat God’s death, raised Ye Qiyan’s Blasphemer of the Gods multiplier to 580%, and warned that Abyss’s Trial was nearing its final stage.
