Chapter Summaries

Hela rampaged through the city and fought Kೇವire in his Battle Armor, overpowering him with her shifting body and tentacles. After Kевire diverted an attack to save survivors, Hela wrapped around him and began crushing his armor.

• Hela cut down buildings and hunted civilians with her sword qi and tentacles.
• Kевire arrived in his Battle Armor and attacked Hela, but she knocked him from the sky and fought through his energy blasts and shield.
• Hela chased Kевire, transformed into a massive maw, and swallowed him inside his energy shield.
• Kевire detonated an explosion inside Hela and blasted her apart, but she quickly began reassembling.
• Kевire redirected a shot to save survivors from falling debris, giving Hela time to transform into a giant centipede and coil around him.

Hela battled the Mecha Warrior until a Starlight-realm Battle Armor arrived and Kевire donned it. Just as Kевire gained the upper hand, Xiao Er intervened, and Hela launched the armored warrior into the air as Xiao Er raised a colossal blade.

• Hela survived a missile barrage and watched the damaged Mecha Warrior face a futuristic robot protecting Kевire.
• The robot healed Kевire, then disassembled itself and formed the Starlight-realm Battle Armor around him.
• Kевire, now armored, fought Hela with missiles and laser blades, but their attacks sent both of them flying backward.
• Xiao Er arrived and pinned Kевire with blades, but his spike could not pierce the Battle Armor.
• Hela expanded the spike around Kевire, then flung him into the sky as Xiao Er raised a gigantic blade.

Kевire's mecha was drained by a chained stranger, who revealed an aura like [Sky] and fought Hela and Xiao Er. The stranger evaded their attacks and rose into the air as Xiao Er and Hela pursued him.

• Xiao Er and Hela battled the [Armored Warrior] and [Mecha Warrior], then trapped the [Armored Warrior] in a crater.
• A withered stranger grabbed the [Armored Warrior] by the throat, drained his mecha's energy, and threw him into a building.
• Hela and Xiao Er recognized the stranger's aura as resembling their own kind, like [Sky], and Hela asked who he was and what he wanted.
• The stranger spoke of [Life] and attacked Xiao Er with a sickle while black insects withered their flesh weapons.
• Xiao Er blocked the sickle and closed in as Hela attacked from behind, but the stranger escaped into the air and dodged their pursuit.

Hela fought [Autumn], whom she identified as a member of [Four Seasons], while Xiao Er and Xiao San helped her resist his attacks. As [Autumn] drained the life force around him, Hela’s prepared trap erupted beneath him, turning the battlefield into a forest of tentacles.

• [Autumn] blocked Hela and Xiao Er’s attacks with black mosquitoes, drained Xiao Er’s energy, and began forcing a symbiosis with him.
• Xiao San burst out of a manhole and attacked [Autumn], interrupting the forced symbiosis and helping Xiao Er wound him.
• [Autumn] used his mosquitoes to attack Xiao San, while Hela realized he was draining life force from the area and identified him as [Autumn] of [Four Seasons].
• Hela triggered her prepared trap, sending hundreds of thousands of tentacles up through the ground as [Autumn] tried to escape and cut them away.

Hela and Aidan turned the fight against the gravely wounded [Autumn], who escaped after Hela broke through to 'Starlight.' Hela returned to her human form and recovered an amber necklace and a star-blue bracelet from a small ball of flesh.

• Hela empowered Xiao San with the feather and merged into his body, while [Autumn] and Hela hesitated to attack each other.
• [Autumn] launched his scythe at Hela and tried to retreat, but a young man in a red scarf fired pixel stars at him, giving Hela a chance to bite off his left hand.
• Hela swallowed [Autumn]'s severed hand and broke through to 'Starlight,' while Aidan arrived and promised to help her.
• Aidan shielded Hela from [Autumn]'s black insects, but [Autumn] escaped before Hela could catch him.
• Hela returned to her petite form, checked the translucent feather, and removed an amber necklace and a star-blue bracelet from a small ball of flesh.

After Hela and Aidan survived the battle, Aidan buried Yamada Kunin before leaving with Hela. Elsewhere, [Autumn] recovered from his injuries and sent out a mental message that drew the attention of several powerful figures around the world.

• Hela shared her memories with Aidan, learned he had repeatedly revived during his fight with the sheep-shaped monster, and searched the ruins for corpses to restore her energy.
• Aidan placed flowers on Yamada Kunin's grave, mourned her dream, and flew away after Hela urged him to follow.
• In a sewer, [Autumn] had the crow man give up his left arm and stitched it onto his own body.
• After recalling his defeat by Hela, [Autumn] sent mental information around the world and lamented that he did not want to capture [Life] with 'you'.
• In Great Xia, a flower-clad girl healed a rabbit and reacted joyfully to the message, believing she would no longer need to take over innocent people's bodies.
• In Atan Country, a flame-wreathed man burned a person he called 'Starlight' and vowed to kill them; in Russia, a woman on an ice throne hoped the message's plan would succeed.

Hela and her group prepared to flee after their commotion, but Aidan realized Fuluolan and the other three might have gone to the Black Death Gang. Hela agreed to help him find them, strengthened Aidan and Fulan with her cells, and left with them for the gang’s location.

• Tuote, Fulan, Hela, Aidan, Weier, and the others prepared to leave the warehouse, while Tuote and Weier planned to escape by car.
• Aidan learned that Fuluolan and the other three had gone out and suspected they were looking for the Black Death Gang.
• Fulan recognized the gang from Aidan’s description of the bird-beak-mask necklace, and Hela agreed to take Aidan to find the missing four.
• Hela injected her cells into Aidan and Fulan, strengthening them and helping Aidan recover from his illness.
• Hela flew ahead toward the Black Death Gang, with Fulan riding his sword qi and Aidan following on his phone-turned flying device.

Fuluolan brought Beibei, Shasha, and Xiaojie to the Black Death Gang, hoping to join after showing Crow Man a necklace. He realized the gang had a grudge against Hela and the others, but the initiation ceremony had already bound him to a Black Death Gang necklace.

• Fuluolan led the other three children into the gang's hotel and showed Crow Man a necklace from one of his dead subordinates.
• Crow Man asked whether Fuluolan knew a man with a strange knife, but Fuluolan hid what he knew and said he did not know the man well.
• Crow Man offered the children necklaces and began the blood initiation ceremony, but Fuluolan stopped Beibei and volunteered to go first.
• Crow Man pricked Fuluolan's finger, and his blood transformed the necklace into a Black Death Gang identification that made him feel bound to something.
• Fuluolan regretted bringing the others to the gang after realizing its members held a grudge against Hela and the others.

Fulan and Aidan rescued Fuluolan and the other children from the crow man and his armed gang. They captured the crow man and began interrogating him, though Aidan’s first question was an odd arithmetic problem.

• The crow man took Fuluolan hostage and threatened to transfer any injuries he suffered to the child through a necklace.
• Aidan pulled the other children out of danger while Fulan attacked the crow man, severed Fuluolan’s necklace, and destroyed the gang with Aidan’s Gaster Blasters.
• Fulan and Aidan restrained the crow man, and Aidan sent Fuluolan outside with the other children.
• Fulan deduced that the necklace transferred the crow man’s injuries and stabbed him while demanding to know how he had identified their boss as Life.
• Aidan asked the crow man, “What’s 1000 minus 7?” and explained that arithmetic would make the interrogation hurt more.

Fulan and Aidan learned that [Autumn] might have powerful accomplices, then rescued Fuluolan and the other children from the Black Death Gang. Just as the group prepared to leave the city, they discovered that a barrier had sealed it off.

• Crow Man revealed that [Autumn] had ordered him to capture [Life] and might have gone to meet his accomplices, before Fulan killed him and his living knife swallowed the corpse.
• Aidan warned Fulan that they needed to leave the city quickly because [Autumn]'s companions might be the other [Four Seasons].
• Fulan and Aidan met Fuluolan and the other children outside the wrecked bar, and Fuluolan and the others apologized for causing trouble.
• Aidan comforted Fuluolan, who broke down crying as Aidan embraced him.
• Fulan received a message saying the city had been sealed off, and mechanical pillars rose around the city to form a massive barrier.

Tuote and Hela learned that the city had been sealed while the [Godslaying] squad hunted two Variants, leaving them unable to escape. After Hela contacted Fulan, she sensed that he and Aidan had encountered a powerful wolf Variant.

• An armed officer told Tuote and Hela that the city was under lockdown after two Variants injured the [Armored Warrior], and that the [Godslaying] squad had arrived to hunt them.
• Tuote failed to persuade the officer to let them leave, while Hela charmed him into taking her contact information and learned the lockdown might last about a week.
• Hela received a call from Fulan, who said he and the others had not left, then their call abruptly cut off amid a growl.
• Hela used her connection to her subordinates to see Fulan and Aidan confronting a scarred, snow-white giant wolf Variant in a darkened alley while Aidan shielded four children.

Aidan and Fulan survived an attack by a [Fog Barrier Wolf] before a girl arrived and revealed that the Variant was friendly with her. The girl said she belonged to the [God Slayer] squad, and the chapter left Fulan explaining their identities while she cautiously approached them.

• Aidan protected Fulan and four children from the [Fog Barrier Wolf] with a cage of white bones.
• A girl emerged from the haze and the [Fog Barrier Wolf] greeted her affectionately instead of attacking her.
• The girl asked whether Fulan and Aidan were Night Stars, and she hid behind the wolf when they said they were not.
• The girl identified herself as a member of the [God Slayer] squad, prompting Fulan and Aidan to put away their weapons and act friendly.
• Fulan claimed he was a traveling photographer and introduced Aidan as his online friend, explaining that games increased Aidan's realm.
• The girl stepped out from behind the wolf but remained wary of Fulan and Aidan.

Yixue introduced herself and Jixue, then required Fulan and Aidan to register with the Godslayer squad. They boarded Jixue with the four children and flew away, leaving Aidan awkwardly seated between Yixue and the children.

• Yixue said she was an ordinary person and introduced Jixue as an Immortal-realm Variant that had grown up with her.
• Yixue told Fulan and Aidan that cultivators had to come with her for registration and monitoring, and Fulan agreed to cooperate.
• Yixue asked Jixue to carry Fulan, Aidan, and the four children, and Jixue allowed them onto its back.
• Jixue sniffed Fulan and Aidan before taking off through the air on a bank of mist.
• As Jixue flew, Aidan and Yixue both struggled to make conversation while the four children looked around excitedly.

Aidan and Fulan followed Yixue into the Godslaying Technology Company, where they met her exhausted teammate Xiunuosi and filled out registration forms using fake contact information. Elsewhere, Kевire remained in critical condition as Diyana stayed at his bedside.

• Jixue brought Aidan, Fulan, and the four children to the Godslaying Technology Company, leaving Aidan and Fulan anxiously worried they might be recognized.
• Yixue led the group to the squad’s temporary lodging, where Xiunuosi begged for sleep and then left to find the captain.
• Fulan explained to Aidan that people from Atan Country could have light skin.
• Yixue gave Aidan and Fulan forms to complete, and the two men entered fake contact information.
• Kевire coughed in an advanced treatment room while Diyana held his hand and watched over him in distress.

Diyana recounted the Variant attack and the Armored Warrior’s injuries to the media, then answered Captain Brown’s questions after the reporters left. Brown’s teasing remark enraged her, and she drove the doctor from the room while lamenting the damage to her company and reputation.

• Diyana told reporters that she had fought a Variant near the company while the Armored Warrior was away, and that he was badly injured fighting two more Variants in the city.
• Diyana apologized to the public for failing to protect them, and the media left the hospital room.
• Captain Brown questioned Diyana about the Variants’ timing, abilities, strength, and the Armored Warrior’s suspected infection.
• Captain Brown asked Diyana what color underwear she was wearing, then left after she realized he was teasing her.
• Diyana flew into a rage, threw medical equipment and tools, cut the doctor’s arm, and forced him to leave.

Brown let Xiunuosi sleep in his room for nearly ten hours, then headed with him toward the lounge. Nearby, Xiao Huan and Hela’s clone Xiao San Dian Wu remained hidden in a ventilation duct, trapped inside the enemy’s base and unsure how to escape.

• Xiunuosi, exhausted after nearly a week without sleep, grabbed Brown by the throat and demanded that he let him sleep.
• Brown opened a portal and sent Xiunuosi into his room, then returned him after nearly ten hours of rest.
• Brown and Xiunuosi headed toward the lounge where Fulan and Aidan were, and Brown briefly noticed someone hiding in a corner.
• Xiao Huan and Hela’s clone Xiao San Dian Wu watched Brown and Xiunuosi from a ventilation duct, fearing Brown had noticed them.
• Xiao Huan asked Hela how they would escape, and Hela claimed she had planned everything despite having no real plan.

Hela and Xiao Huan hid in a restroom to wait for Fulan and Aidan to rescue them, while Brown arrived at the lounge and took an interest in Aidan’s talent. The chapter left Brown asking Yixue what Aidan’s “Electronic Fantasy” ability was.

• Hela told Xiao Huan to wait for Fulan and Aidan, then led him to hide beneath a restroom sink.
• Fulan and Aidan waited awkwardly in the lounge with Yixue while Jixue slept nearby.
• Brown burst into the lounge, woke Jixue, and carried Fulan and Aidan toward the door after they confirmed they had filled out their forms.
• Yixue stopped Brown and suggested that Aidan had good potential.
• Brown learned that Aidan was eighteen, at the Starlight realm, and had the ability “Electronic Fantasy,” then quietly asked Yixue what that ability did.

Brown forcibly brought Aidan and Fulan to his room and tried to recruit Aidan into the Godslaying squad. Aidan still refused, even as Brown resorted to begging and promising to introduce him to his little sister.

• Brown kicked Aidan and Fulan through a portal, then followed them into his room.
• Brown offered them vodka, switched to tea when Aidan declined alcohol, and watched as they drank.
• Brown pitched the squad's salary, freedom, and members to persuade Aidan to join.
• Aidan refused, so Brown dropped to his knees and clung to Aidan's leg, begging him to join.
• Brown promised to introduce Aidan to his little sister, admitted he was joking, and kept holding on as Aidan demanded to be released.

The children stayed with Yixue and Xiunuosi while Brown kept their adults inside his [Room]. Elsewhere, Hela tried to stay unnoticed as she drove, but after evading a traffic officer she encountered a strange girl whose voice seemed to come from someone invisible.

• Yixue explained that Brown had taken the adults into his [Room], and Xiunuosi mistook the four children for kidnapped victims before dragging them off to play.
• Jixue playfully held Yixue in his jaws while she complained about his bad breath.
• Hela worried that the Godslaying squad might discover her identity and decided to focus on getting through the week safely.
• A traffic officer stopped Hela, but she transformed into the man shown on the driver's license and drove away after he accepted it.
• A disheveled girl stopped Hela and asked whether she had just transformed, but Hela sped off, leaving the girl and the unseen speaker behind.

Hela and Tuote were intercepted by Meng Yuan and her withdrawn older sister, members of the Godslaying squad, who suspected Hela was a Variant. Their questioning was interrupted when a woman froze the city’s protective shield and a flower-clad girl began breaking it.

• Tuote and Hela escaped in their car, but a strange voice used space magic to float the vehicle and bring them to the withdrawn girl.
• A magical girl appeared, tested Hela with a truth spell, and found that she could not sense Hela’s realm.
