Chapter Summaries

Rimuru persuaded Tony, Banner, Helen Cho, and Harry to use the Extremis Virus technology for charitable medical treatment rather than super soldiers or life extension. Their research alliance removed the virus’s dangers and quietly prevented the crises of Iron Man 3, leaving patients worldwide with new hope for treatment.

• Tony, Banner, Helen Cho, and Harry questioned Rimuru’s decision to use their advanced technology for treating injuries and illness instead of making super soldiers.
• Rimuru explained that super soldiers could trigger a global arms race and life extension could entrench inequality, then revealed he had intercepted a dangerous version of the virus before it caused disasters.
• The group assessed how to remove the virus’s harmful effects and assigned research, safety, nanotechnology, approvals, funding, and risk-control tasks to each member.
• Tony, JARVIS, Banner, Helen Cho, Harry, and Rimuru began work immediately, completing simulations, equipment, testing preparations, medical approvals, and virus stabilization.
• Their improved treatment had no side effects, prevented the crises of Iron Man 3, and offered patients with paralysis, amputations, and terminal illnesses a path to treatment.

Oscorp and Stark Industries released a gene repair potion that cured severe injuries and diseases, drawing global attention and investment pressure from billionaires hoping to use it for life extension. Nick Fury proposed they claim the technology could not be modified for anti-aging, and Tony, Harry, Rimuru, Banner, and Helen Cho agreed to bluff their way through the pressure.

• Oscorp and Stark Industries released clinical trial videos showing the gene repair potion regenerating limbs and curing severe illnesses.
• Billionaires flooded the companies with partnership and acquisition offers, hoping to obtain the genetic data and develop life-extending treatments.
• Harry and Tony rejected every offer, prompting wealthy investors to pressure governments and officials to force the companies to share the technology.
• Nick Fury visited Tony and the others and proposed they publicly claim the technology was unstable and could not support life extension or anti-aging.
• Rimuru, Tony, Harry, Banner, and Helen Cho agreed to back Fury's false explanation to protect the technology and ease the pressure.

Rimuru, Tony, Harry, Banner, Helen Cho, and Fury coordinated a false public explanation that the gene serum could not extend life, turning away wealthy investors seeking immortality research. With the pressure temporarily contained, production of the affordable repair serum and nonprofit medical services moved forward.

• Harry arrived exhausted from managing Oscorp, and Rimuru gave him a recovery potion before the financial representatives arrived.
• Tony, Banner, Helen Cho, and Harry presented fabricated failure data and regulatory limits to argue that the serum could not be adapted for life extension.
• Fury blocked the visitors from obtaining virus samples by citing S.H.I.E.L.D. controls on high-risk genetic materials, and the investors left frustrated.
• The group celebrated their deception, and Rimuru said life-extension technology should remain undisclosed until medical resources were more evenly available.
• Fury arranged a unified public response and covert monitoring of Stark and Osborn facilities, while Tony trusted JARVIS and the security teams to protect them.
• Media reports cooled public and investor interest, allowing serum production and free treatments at nonprofit medical pods to proceed.

Oscorp and Stark Industries’ Extremis medical project expanded rapidly, treating patients with severe injuries and diseases as the serum gained worldwide acclaim. Nick Fury asked Rimuru to secure a special supply for S.H.I.E.L.D., and Rimuru agreed in exchange for borrowing Fury’s Flerken, leaving the deal pending its transfer.

• Oscorp and Stark Industries began producing and distributing Extremis serum through public-benefit medical branches, where it healed patients with severe injuries and illnesses.
• The serum’s visible results won public and government support and sparked a global surge in demand.
• Nick Fury visited Rimuru and asked him to arrange a special serum allocation for S.H.I.E.L.D.’s injured agents.
• Rimuru denied having a role in the project, but Fury said Rimuru had optimized the formula and held influence over its core technology.
• Rimuru offered to secure S.H.I.E.L.D.’s supply in exchange for borrowing Fury’s Flerken, and Fury agreed after explaining that it was held at a guarded secret site and needed to be transferred through top-secret procedures.

After the Extremis launch made Rimuru enormously wealthy, Black Dragon reminded him that the Transformers’ combat upgrades were still unfinished. Rimuru rushed to the underground laboratory and planned self-repair systems and magical defenses, leaving the faction-specific modifications still to be designed.

• Rimuru returned to his estate after the successful Extremis launch and celebrated the surge in profits and stock prices.
• Black Dragon told Rimuru that the custom alloys and energy-amplifying materials for the Transformers had arrived at the underground laboratory.
• Rimuru remembered his promise to upgrade Jazz and the Transformers, then hurried to the laboratory to begin designing the modifications.
• Rimuru decided the Transformers needed Magicule-powered self-healing modules to repair damage and keep them battle-ready.
• Rimuru planned enchantments and Magicule shields to protect the Transformers from mental attacks, magical corrosion, and dimensional interference.
• Rimuru finished outlining the shared upgrades and prepared to customize the Decepticons and Autobots separately.

Rimuru planned powerful upgrades for the Transformers, but combat simulations revealed that one-size-fits-all equipment weakened specialized fighters. After Doctor Q explained the need for individual designs, Rimuru decided to customize each Transformer at his own pace.

• Rimuru planned to enchant Decepticon weapons with magic and equip Optimus Prime with improved flight armor and a space-cutting Star Saber.
• Rimuru had Black Dragon test general-purpose equipment in combat simulations, where Bumblebee and Starscream performed worse because the gear restricted their mobility.
• Doctor Q examined the designs and explained that each Transformer needed equipment suited to their individual strengths and combat role.
• Rimuru accepted that the Autobots and Decepticons would need separate designs and tests, and decided to work through the upgrades without rushing.

Rimuru coordinated custom heavy-duty upgrades for the Autobots and Decepticons, adding reinforced armor, rapid self-repair, magic resistance, and weapons tailored to each mech. Gillvalis's simulations confirmed the upgrades addressed the teams' weaknesses and greatly increased their combat power, leaving Rimuru pleased with the completed plans.

• Rimuru, Doctor Q, and Gillvalis planned individualized upgrades for six heavy frontline Transformers, focusing on defense, self-repair, and resistance to magic and superpowers.
• Rimuru upgraded Optimus Prime with layered monster-alloy armor, a Jetfire flight set, and an enchanted Star Saber, improving his ground and aerial combat.
• Rimuru rebuilt Ironhide as a fortified-position specialist and restored Sentinel Prime with a modernized frame, mental defenses, and enhanced weapons.
• Rimuru gave Megatron dark monster-alloy armor, powerful self-repair, high magic resistance, and the Dark Star Saber.
• Rimuru specialized Bonecrusher for unstoppable close-range charges and refitted Brawl as a mobile firepower fortress with protected, magic-powered cannons.
• Gillvalis confirmed the upgrades improved both factions' combat effectiveness, and Doctor Q praised their precise compatibility as Rimuru admired the finished plans.

Rimuru completed a top-tier internal technology-and-magic upgrade for the assassin-type Transformers, giving them extreme speed, magical attacks, and near-instant regeneration. Black Dragon confirmed that their AllSpark cores remained their only fatal weakness.

• Rimuru selected nine Autobot and Decepticon assassin warriors for upgrades using T-3000 nanotechnology, Kamar-Taj magic circuits, and Rune Runes.
• Gillvalis and Rimuru rebuilt the warriors’ bodies with active nanopolymer armor that could flex and rapidly reassemble, while leaving their AllSpark cores unrecoverable.
• Rimuru embedded magic circuits and runes in the warriors, granting them enhanced speed, magic resistance, and attacks formed from their own bodies.
• Rimuru gave Drift twin nanomaterial swords with Sword of Vishanti properties, adding magical and spatial cuts to his strikes.
• Rimuru tailored upgrades for each Autobot and Decepticon, sharpening their individual abilities in speed, stealth, sniping, close combat, and aerial attacks.
• Black Dragon assessed the upgraded units as nearly invulnerable to physical attacks but warned that damage to an AllSpark core would still kill them.

Rimuru brought Shockwave in to review the Transformers’ upgrade plans, but Shockwave proposed replacing their AllSpark-based bodies with purpose-built weapons, alarming Rimuru and Doctor Q. After Rimuru rejected the proposal, he began preparing custom upgrades, with Jazz first in line for his long-awaited overhaul.

• Rimuru activated Gillvalis's virtual testing space and asked Shockwave to review the Transformers’ upgrade plans.
• Shockwave called the plans too conservative and proposed building new combat models without AllSparks.
• Doctor Q condemned Shockwave’s militaristic proposal, and the two argued over whether preemptive force or peace would protect Earth.
• Rimuru stopped Shockwave from pursuing the new weapon designs and approved gradual upgrades instead.
• Rimuru and Doctor Q prepared custom equipment for Optimus Prime and Megatron, then began Jazz’s upgrade.

Rimuru and Doctor Q completed major upgrades for Jazz, Optimus Prime, and Megatron, then began testing their new bodies and equipment. Rimuru planned to refine the upgrades using combat data before gradually applying them to every Transformer.

• Rimuru and Doctor Q rebuilt Jazz with a T-5000 nanotech body that greatly improved his agility, durability, and self-healing.
• Rimuru enchanted Jazz's twin blades and sidearm, giving them magical effects against armor, shields, and unusual enemy bodies.
• Optimus Prime received a Uru flight armor system with high-speed aerial mobility and enhanced close-combat power.
• Doctor Q and Rimuru completed Megatron's Dark Star Saber, whose dark energy could suppress enemy abilities and corrode targets.
• Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Jazz tested their upgrades in the virtual training ground as Rimuru planned to collect combat data and gradually upgrade every Transformer.

Rimuru presented Optimus Prime and Megatron with powerful combat upgrades, persuading Optimus Prime to accept despite his concerns about excessive weaponry. As Megatron challenged him to a post-upgrade match, Doctor Q declined combat enhancements and asked for help preventing hair loss instead.

• Jazz enthusiastically tested his upgraded nano-armor, runes, and magical light blade in the virtual testing ground.
• Optimus Prime worried that extreme combat upgrades conflicted with his commitment to peace, while Megatron praised the power and mocked his hesitation.
• Rimuru told Optimus Prime that strength could help protect others, and Optimus Prime reconsidered after recalling the Autobots' difficult fight against Abomination.
• Optimus Prime accepted the upgrade, and Megatron challenged him to a match once their upgrades were complete.
• Doctor Q declined combat upgrades and said he wanted an anti-hair-loss module after staying up late to work.

Optimus Prime and Megatron tested their upgraded bodies in a fierce, even match while Jazz showed off his new strength by defeating Bumblebee. Bumblebee asked Rimuru for an upgrade, but Rimuru delayed because he feared disrupting Bumblebee’s unique abilities, as the leaders’ duel continued at full intensity.

• Optimus Prime and Megatron fought to a standstill as they learned to use their upgraded bodies and weapons.
• Jazz asked Rimuru to bring Bumblebee and the other Autobots over so he could show off his new body.
• Jazz challenged Bumblebee and overwhelmed him with his upgraded speed and power.
• Bumblebee asked Rimuru for an upgrade, but Rimuru said Bumblebee’s special plan was still being developed.
• Optimus Prime and Megatron mastered their new equipment and drove their duel to a fever pitch.

Optimus Prime defeated Megatron in a hard-fought test of their enhanced bodies and weapons, with Optimus's more extensive upgrades giving him the edge. Rimuru explained that Megatron's fighter-jet form limited how much equipment he could carry, leaving Megatron bitter over losing because of his vehicle form.

• Optimus Prime and Megatron mastered their enhanced bodies and divine weapons through repeated rounds of combat.
• Bumblebee and Jazz watched enviously, knowing their own forms were incompatible with the exclusive divine weapons.
• Rimuru observed that Optimus was gaining the advantage because his expandable truck cargo compartment allowed for more upgrades than Megatron's fighter-jet form.
• Optimus Prime and Megatron ended their battle, and Megatron realized he had been outmatched despite his superior experience and fighting foundation.
• Rimuru explained that adding heavy armor and a cargo compartment would compromise Megatron's speed and aerial maneuverability, leaving Megatron resentful of his form's limitations.

Rimuru discovered that Megatron’s frame had a suppressed, incomplete tank transformation alongside his jet and humanoid forms. After Megatron’s failed attempt to transform left him stuck in a humiliating hybrid shape, Rimuru proposed repairing the sequences to unlock all three forms and greatly increase his combat potential, and Megatron eagerly agreed.

• Megatron accepted Rimuru’s offer of lightweight armor, even though it would reduce his jet form’s speed and maneuverability.
• Rimuru removed Megatron’s modifications and scanned his original frame, discovering its hidden triple-changing configuration of jet, tank, and humanoid forms.
• Megatron attempted to activate his incomplete tank form but became stuck halfway between a tank and a jet, prompting Bumblebee and Jazz to laugh while Optimus Prime forced him back into humanoid form.
• Rimuru explained that Megatron’s tank form could support far more armor and equipment, and proposed repairing the transformation sequences despite the loss of some aerial performance.
• Megatron agreed to a complete overhaul and asked Rimuru to unlock all his forms.

Rimuru perfected Megatron’s three forms and outfitted him with powerful magical armor, letting him defeat Optimus Prime in a sparring match. Inspired by Megatron’s transformation, Bumblebee pleaded with Rimuru to help him grow stronger, leaving Rimuru unsure whether to begin modifying him so soon.

• Rimuru repaired Megatron’s transformation systems so his fighter jet, tank, and humanoid forms could coexist and switch smoothly.
• Rimuru spent several days designing and fitting Megatron with nanotech, Uru steel armor, rune arrays, and a magical coating.
• Megatron tested his enhanced body, relished his new strength, and challenged Optimus Prime to a fight.
• Megatron dominated Optimus Prime through dozens of exchanges, keeping him on the defensive.
• Bumblebee watched the fight and approached Rimuru with pleading, glowing eyes, asking to become stronger.
• Rimuru hesitated because he had just modified the two leaders and worried that modifying Bumblebee immediately could upset the balance of power.

Rimuru proposed a radical upgrade that would give Bumblebee a split-body fighting style and an exceptionally tough core skeleton, but leave his AllSpark more exposed. Bumblebee accepted the upgrade, while Megatron abandoned his own desire for the skeleton after learning its rigidity would undermine his Triple Changer abilities.

• Rimuru explained that Bumblebee’s REV-9-based upgrade would let his shell and core skeleton fight separately and split into several smaller units, but would leave his AllSpark with less protection.
• Rimuru reassured Bumblebee that his core skeleton would be exceptionally strong and his shell could regenerate, easing Bumblebee’s concerns.
• Megatron grew jealous when Rimuru called Bumblebee’s future skeleton the strongest among the upgraded Transformers.
• Bumblebee decided the reversible upgrade was worth the risk and asked Rimuru to proceed.
• Megatron asked for the same skeleton, but Rimuru explained that its rigidity would impair Megatron’s transformations and aerial maneuverability.
• Megatron dropped the idea and decided the ultra-rigid skeleton would suit Brawl better.

Rimuru finished rebuilding Bumblebee with a magical core skeleton and a flexible nanometal shell, giving him a powerful split-body combat ability. After testing his new forms and defenses, Bumblebee agreed to spar with Megatron to learn the limits of his upgraded body.

• Jazz enthusiastically encouraged Bumblebee as Rimuru began the modification.
• Rimuru rebuilt Bumblebee's body with a reinforced skeleton, a nanometal shell, and magical protection around the AllSpark.
• Bumblebee separated his shell from his skeleton, created six additional bodies, and tested his defenses without finding any weaknesses.
• Bumblebee explained that all his bodies shared one consciousness, senses, and combat strength, then decided he needed a real fight to master them.
• Megatron approached to test Bumblebee's new skeleton, and Bumblebee eagerly accepted his offer to spar.

Bumblebee tested his newly modified body against Megatron, impressing him with his durability and agile split-body fighting style. Megatron’s battlefield-wide attack scattered Bumblebee’s parts, and Jazz rushed in believing he was dead, though Megatron knew Bumblebee’s core remained unharmed.

• Megatron let Bumblebee attack first, and Bumblebee adapted to his new body and split-body fighting style during their exchanges.
• Bumblebee’s punch could not harm Megatron, while Megatron’s counter sent Bumblebee skidding across the ground without damaging his skeleton.
• Bumblebee used his size and agility to harass Megatron with feints, split-body evasions, and rapid attacks.
• Megatron unleashed a wide-ranging energy shock wave that blasted Bumblebee’s body apart while leaving his core Spark and main skeleton intact.
• Jazz mistook Bumblebee’s scattered parts for a fatal defeat and rushed over, promising to care for Bumblebee’s wife and children.

After Bumblebee recovered from Megatron’s punch, Megatron went to take revenge on the weakened Predacons while Rimuru sent Optimus Prime to subdue the unruly Dinobots. Optimus’s attempt to persuade them failed, and he faced them alone as battle began.

• Bumblebee reassembled himself unharmed, while Megatron rebuked Jazz for assuming he had been killed.
• Rimuru sent Megatron to the virtual planet training ground to confront the Predacons.
• Megatron attacked the exhausted Predacons and beat them without resistance, growing frustrated by how weak they were.
• Rimuru brought Optimus Prime to the simulated jungle, where Optimus tried and failed to persuade the Dinobots to submit.
• Optimus Prime stepped forward alone, and the battle against the Dinobots erupted.

Rimuru restored the Dinobots’ habitat after Optimus Prime defeated them, while Megatron complained that his fight with the weakened Predacons had been too easy. Back on Cybertron, Bumblebee and Jazz’s upgraded bodies inspired the Autobots to seek enhancements, and Ratchet unexpectedly arrived at the underground laboratory to request one.

• Slash tried to ambush Rimuru, but Rimuru bound him with scarlet chains while Optimus Prime defeated the Dinobots.
• The Dinobots submitted but refused to leave the primordial jungle, so Rimuru used Black Dragon’s simulation privileges to restore their habitat and let them stay there.
• Rimuru and Optimus Prime returned to the experimental base, where Megatron complained that the weakened Predacons had offered no challenge.
• Bumblebee and Jazz returned to Cybertron and showed off their upgraded bodies, prompting the Autobots to consider getting upgrades.
• Ratchet contacted Black Dragon, teleported to the underground laboratory, and surprised Optimus Prime by requesting an upgrade.
