• King Ghidorah and Rodan arrived at the mountain and greeted Nuoyaji’s group.

Nuoyaji and his companions were drawn into King Ghidorah’s plans after he recovered the Light God’s true body and made her agree to serve him for a hundred years. At restored Valerilus City, Chaluoke entered the Continent’s Strongest Competition while King Ghidorah ordered the gathered group to work under him.

• Pegasus recalled how he had turned the tide of a naval battle against Victoria and understood that Saint Junxi needed Vagrian’s support after the disaster.
• As Pegasus approached Vagrian’s capital, he sensed many overwhelming auras and saw several ancient dragons gathered by the gates.
• Pegasus wondered whether the immense, many-colored dragon was Emperor Caesar and considered fleeing, but reminded himself that Saint Junxi was counting on him.
• The Light God appeared above the city and instructed Pegasus to register and wait for the other contestants.
• Pegasus felt his mana growing stronger in the Light God’s presence, regretted entering the championship, and rode through the gates anyway.

King Ghidorah oversaw the arrivals for the Strongest Championship as contestants and observers gathered in Valerilus City. After entering the arena, the crowd watched him land and announce that the tournament would be an unrestricted, untimed fight with no rules, won by the last one standing.

• King Ghidorah watched the arena’s escalating battle and asked the Light God whether Voraksa and Little Rodan had returned.

As Na'er challenged him to demonstrate the strength of a legendary mage, Medici, the Holy Duke, and the Reaper of Death faced off nearby, and the ground suddenly split open.

• Chaluoke and Na'er reunited, and she told him that Feixiu and their other academy friends were well and wanted to apologize because no one blamed him.

Black monsters emerged throughout Vagrian’s colosseum, forcing the fighters to join against them as A Qiu was caught in the chaos. As the monsters’ cracks became deadly pits and a barrier sealed the city, King Ghidorah and the Light God watched the expanding black sphere surrounding the colosseum and nearby blocks.

• Black monsters poured from cracks across the colosseum, and Medici, the Holy Duke, the mystic arts practitioners, Chaluoke, Na'er, Pegasus, and the Azure Flame Wind-Rending Cavalry commander attacked them.

The Dragon-Erosion Demon God attacked the people in the yellow sands, overwhelming the legendary fighters until A Qiu’s grandmother, Laiwu, emerged through her and confronted him. As Laiwu prepared to fight with Ninth Tier power, something else fell through the sky and stunned everyone.

• The Dragon-Erosion Demon God awakened in an unfamiliar place with his core damaged and attacked the people before him.
• Chaluoke shielded the group while Medici, the Holy Duke, Pegasus, the Azure Flame Wind-Rending Cavalry, and the Reaper of Death fought the Demon God and tried to hold him back.

• Laiwu revealed that she could wield Ninth Tier power and began gathering magic for another spell, but something fell through the sky with a tremendous impact.

King Ghidorah remotely controlled the ancient God of War mecha, which Laiwu empowered with her divine art, and the pair attacked the Dragon-Erosion Demon God.
