Chapter Summaries

Wrath Warhammer realized that the opposing army had opened the Wizard System to other races and could coordinate every soldier, allowing it to maintain its strength while the wizard expeditionary army weakened. As the battle turned into a likely defeat, Liaoya Quanchi watched his world's subjects suffer a massacre.

• Wrath Warhammer noticed that the opposing army's spell attacks matched the wizard army's despite having fewer apparent wizards, and concluded that a traitor had opened the Wizard System to other races.

Sword of Winter intercepted him, and the chapter ended with Baturu under mounting pressure as he used the Eye of Destruction to threaten his opponents.

• Cosmic Wanderer and four other Supreme Lords confronted Baturu, who revealed a duplicate of Sword of Winter and said Leo’s forces would fight the Wizard World on the battlefield.
• Baturu mocked the wizard army and tried to depart, but Sword of Winter blocked his escape and attacked him.
• Dragon Enslaver, Blue Heart Demon, and Bloody Hunter surrounded the combatants while Cosmic Wanderer watched for a chance to capture Baturu alive and trace Leo through their shared soul.
• Sword of Winter proved stronger in their duel, wounding Baturu repeatedly until Baturu revealed the Eye of Destruction and threatened him with its Light of Imprisonment.
• Sword of Winter ignored the threat and attacked relentlessly, leaving Baturu’s defenses unable to prevent a succession of penetrating wounds.

Cosmic Wanderer saved the Sword of Winter from Baturu’s self-detonation and warned the Supreme Lords about the danger posed by the traitor Atomic Control. In the Shadow Plane, Leo sent Benji to a battlefield so the Gulu Beast Clan could earn its standing through military merit.

• Baturu imprisoned the Sword of Winter, then self-detonated as Cosmic Wanderer shielded him and the other Supreme Lords fled.
• Cosmic Wanderer and the Sword of Winter survived the blast with injuries, and Cosmic Wanderer warned the others that Atomic Control’s avatars could return and that his forces were dangerous.

• Leo told Benji that the Gulu Beast Clan needed to prove its worth on the battlefield and revealed that he had chosen a war for him.
• Benji thanked Leo and promised to do his best to earn a better future for his clan.

Benji left to prove the Gulu Beast Clan deserved its share of resources, while Leo endured the pain of Baturu’s self-detonation and discovered it had changed the Shadow World’s black slab. After the Wizard World sent reinforcements, Leo ordered matching reinforcements for his side, and Purple-Gold Vine realized the Fate Wizard Book was giving Leo access to the Wizard World’s secrets.

• Leo reassured Benji that their bond protected the Gulu Beast Clan, and Benji left determined to prove his people deserved their resources.
• Leo entered the Shadow World and found that Baturu’s self-detonation had turned a protrusion on the black slab into a crude statue-like mound.
• Yaoyao urged Leo to conduct more self-detonation experiments, but Leo chose to wait for Baturu to revive and continued reviewing battle reports.
• The Wizard World responded to Baturu’s declaration of war by mobilizing Stigmata Wizards and World Lords, and its first reinforcements arrived through spatial passages.
• Leo ordered Purple-Gold Vine to open passages to War Worlds 1, 14, 45, 47, and 85 and send reinforcements matching the Wizard World’s strength.
• Purple-Gold Vine saw information in Leo’s Fate Wizard Book and concluded it had betrayed the Wizard World, leaving Leo able to monitor the civilization’s communications.

Leo used the Wizard World's redeployment of World Lords to prepare attacks on its undefended worlds, while waiting for an opening against the five Supreme Lords. He sent Baturu to promote new World Lords for the expeditionary army and anticipated that the Wizard World might recruit other civilizations to pursue him.

• Half a month after Baturu's death, he returned to life, restoring Leo's soul and peak level-six strength.
• Leo told Baturu that the Wizard World had moved World Lords away from several watched worlds, as their plan intended.
• Leo said the expeditionary army would reach Wizard territory in twenty years and ordered Baturu to promote promising fighters into World Lords.
• Leo planned to use the new World Lords to absorb the origin power of worlds targeted by the expeditionary army, then leave them in the Wizard World's territory to cause unrest.
• Baturu departed to carry out the plan, while Leo remained hidden in the Shadow Plane and hoped the Wizard World would bring in more civilizations to fight him.

Undying Body and Beast Blood Boiling remained under close surveillance while discussing the Wizard World’s disastrous war against Leo. The loss of contact with two hundred strategically placed Wizard Alliance worlds triggered an emergency meeting of the Supreme Lords, who faced the threat of Leo establishing a foothold near the Wizard World.

• Undying Body recognized that Leo’s scheme had tied down the strength of at least two Supreme Lords by casting suspicion on him and Beast Blood Boiling.
• Beast Blood Boiling learned that the Wizard World had lost over a hundred Stigmata Wizards and more than six hundred World Lords in twenty years of fighting across 130 worlds, while securing no more than 30% of the battlefields.
• Five Stigmata Wizards monitoring the demiplane abruptly vanished, and Undying Body used the Fate Wizard Book to discover that two hundred Wizard Alliance worlds had lost contact simultaneously.
• The Supreme Lords gathered in Bloodline Controller’s demiplane, where they learned the missing worlds occupied strategic positions that could let Leo launch attacks into the surrounding regions.

The Wizard Alliance mobilized reinforcements after two hundred worlds lost contact, while its Supreme Lords suspected Atomic Control had sent an avatar into their territory. Their counterattack revealed a ruined world and confirmed the avatar’s presence, leaving the other group of reinforcements wary as they approached an intact world under attack.

• Bloodline Controller and Elemental Controller arranged for four Supreme Lords to reinforce the affected worlds and ordered Undying Body and Beast Blood Boiling’s surveillance lifted.
• Barrier of Strength and Scepter Wizard reached the remains of the Great Swamp World, where Scepter Wizard’s time-reversal spell revealed a barbarian avatar before the vision shattered.
• Barrier of Strength identified the figure as Atomic Control’s Supreme Lord avatar and sent word to the Wizard World and the battlefield.
• Undying Body and Blood Demon Venerable withdrew their auras and proceeded cautiously after learning that Baturu was in the area.
• Blood Demon Venerable detected twenty World Lords and a vast invading army fighting inside an intact world.

Undying Body and Crimson Blood Venerable discovered that newly advanced World Lords were attacking more alliance worlds and suspected Atomic Control was using world-origin power to create them. The Wizard World changed its strategy and ordered the teams to prioritize finding Baturu, who might be responsible.

• Undying Body and Crimson Blood Venerable killed the twenty invading World Lords and reopened the spatial passage so wizard armies could reclaim the world.
• The four Supreme Lords learned that twenty-five more worlds had lost contact after attacks by small groups of newly advanced World Lords arriving through interworld teleportation arrays.
• Undying Body suspected Atomic Control could forcibly advance World Lords by draining world-origin power, explaining the enemy's expanding forces.
• Crimson Blood Venerable agreed that the possibility threatened the Wizard World, and the Supreme Lords began discussing the conjecture and preparing for the worst.
• The Wizard World changed the teams' assignments, ordering them to prioritize finding Baturu and to stay safe while investigating how to stop the creation of more World Lords.

Baturu’s campaign plunged thousands of worlds into chaos as the Wizard World struggled to contain newly created World Lords and search for him. Baturu evaded the Supreme Lords through the Shadow Plane and prepared to continue the turmoil.

• The Supreme Lords searched for Baturu for fifty years but failed to locate him, while their attempts to capture controlled World Lords ended in the captives self-destructing.
• The Wizard World lost contact with over a thousand worlds, and newly advanced World Lords infiltrated over a thousand more as both sides suffered mounting casualties.
• Crimson Blood Venerable reported that front-line World Lords feared their home worlds would be lost, but the Supreme Lords refused to let them leave their posts.
• Baturu drained another world’s Power of World Origin, sent some to Xiao Wu to strengthen the Shadow Plane, and used the rest to create more World Lords.
• Leo warned Baturu that a Supreme Lord was approaching, and Baturu escaped through the Shadow Plane to another star region.

Beast Blood Boiling fortified the Tiger Roar Great World as the Wizard World struggled to contain Atomic Control’s invasion. Ten years later, Sword Bearer and twenty-nine other World Lords emerged, and Beast Blood Boiling faced them alone.

• Worlds under wizard civilization raised their defenses as invasion rumors spread and the Wizard World prioritized protecting important worlds.
• Beast Blood Boiling arrived at the Tiger Roar Great World, deployed junior wizards to establish detection arrays, and prepared to defend it.
• Beast Blood Boiling learned from Undying Body that thousands of worlds had been invaded or suspected of invasion and that the Wizard World’s countermeasures could not stop the attacks.
• After ten years, a black vortex appeared, and Beast Blood Boiling prepared to attack the World Lord emerging from it.
• Beast Blood Boiling recognized the newcomer as Sword Bearer and let him bring the others through the vortex.
• Thirty World Lords emerged, including two Level-Six and ten Level-Five beings, while Mierhan sensed danger from the calm Beast Blood Boiling.

Beast Blood Boiling confronted Sword Bearer and the invading World Lords, but Leo intervened before Beast Blood Boiling could kill them. Leo and Beast Blood Boiling argued over the war and their broken friendship, and the chapter ended as Bloodline Controller arrived at Tiger Roar Great World.

• Sword Bearer warned the World Lords not to attack Beast Blood Boiling and told him that Leo was too busy to meet.
• Beast Blood Boiling attacked Sword Bearer and the other World Lords as they tried to leave, but Leo's energy projection stopped the metal swords and ordered them away.
• Beast Blood Boiling accused Leo of betraying him and Undying Body, while Leo apologized and tried to recruit them to his side.
• Beast Blood Boiling challenged Leo about his real objective in the war, but Leo claimed he was only fighting to survive and began to leave.
• Beast Blood Boiling destroyed Leo's energy projection, and Bloodline Controller emerged from the spatial teleportation array at Tiger Roar Great World.

The Wizard World, short of troops and unable to find Leo’s true body, forcibly requisitioned forces from the Myriad Beasts World, but Leo matched its reinforcements and kept the war at a stalemate. After decades of waiting on quieter fronts, the Wizard World’s leaders grew wary because Leo’s invasion had stopped and his troops had begun withdrawing from thousands of captured worlds.

• The Bloodline Controller arrived too late to catch Leo’s energy projection, then left after learning it had been only an avatar.
• Facing a severe troop shortage, the Wizard World ordered worlds to abandon territory and forced the Myriad Beasts World to supply its World Lords and troops.
• The Myriad Beasts World submitted, sending thousands of World Lords to the battlefield while keeping its seven Supreme Lords at home.
• Leo matched the Wizard World’s reinforcements, trapping both sides in an exhausting war and prompting Leo to open dozens of additional battlefield worlds.
• For fifty years, troops in many worlds waited for invasions, while the Wizard World’s Supreme Lords noticed that Leo had halted his attacks and withdrawn forces from more than four thousand worlds.

While the Wizard World struggled to contain the war across fifteen hundred worlds, Baturu assembled more than ten thousand World Lords and launched a massive invasion. After over a thousand worlds fell and the Wizard World could not spare troops to retake them, the Supreme Lords called on the Purgatory Demons to join the battlefield.

• The Wizard World kept its attention on finding Baturu as worlds continued to shatter and signs showed that Atomic Control was amassing more World Lords.
• Baturu gathered the forces he had built by draining 358 worlds, bringing his invasion force to more than ten thousand World Lords.
• Baturu opened spatial rifts to worlds whose locations Leo had fixed, and the invading World Lords attacked, using self-detonation to break world barriers and overcome defenders.
• The Wizard World received invasion reports from more than a thousand worlds, then lost contact with them after their spatial passages were closed.
• The Bloodline Controller and the other Supreme Lords recognized they could not spare troops to respond, and decided to bring the Purgatory Demons to the battlefield.

The Purgatory Demon World agreed to send troops to the Wizard World’s war, while Samael hoped the fighting would help his civilization grow and let him face the traitor wizard. Suspecting a hidden motive behind the demons’ arrival, Leo ordered his forces to kill them and ensure that no more than ten percent returned.

• Samael told the twelve other Supreme Lords that the demons would send four thousand lords and seven Supreme Lords to the battlefield, warning them to study the Wizard World and kill the traitor wizard on sight.
• After the other demons left, Samael reflected that the war could either strengthen his civilization or destroy it, and he wanted to test whether Leo’s copy of his red broken blade matched the original.
• Leo reviewed two hundred years of battlefield reports and told Baturu that the Wizard World’s decision to admit the demons seemed suspicious.
• Leo ordered his forces to prioritize killing demons, including through self-detonation, and to allow no more than ten percent of their troops to return.
• Baturu laughed that lifting the self-detonation restrictions would keep Xiao San and Xiao Si busy resurrecting fallen World Lords.

Atomic Control’s forces used repeated World Lord self-detonations to annihilate demon reinforcements across the battlefront. After learning that most of their troops had died, the demon Supreme Lords accepted War Worlds from the Bloodline Controller and withdrew to investigate.

• Atomic Control ordered his forces to keep absorbing world origin and planned to overwhelm the three World Cluster civilizations with growing numbers of World Lords.
• At Tiger Roar Great World, Yanhuo’s demon reinforcements were struck by World Lords who self-detonated, killing Yanhuo and nearly all his troops.
• The same tactic devastated demon forces across the war, leaving thousands of Demon Lords dead and survivors unwilling to enter the battlefields.
• The Bloodline Controller told Samael and six other demon Supreme Lords that 3,251 of their 4,000 Demon Lords had died, and provided battlefield intelligence.
• Samael denied that the demons had any prior dealings with Atomic Control, then requested War Worlds to investigate the attacks.
• The Bloodline Controller let the demons choose from more than three thousand War Worlds, and Samael selected seven before teleporting away with the remaining Demon Lords.

After losing over three thousand Demon Lords, Samael sent seven Supreme Lords to investigate the battlefields, where Long E confirmed that Leo’s World Lords fought the demons with relentless self-detonations. Leo learned that the demon race had occupied seven worlds and inflicted heavy losses, leaving the war escalating.

• Bloodline Controller dismissed speculation about Leo’s hostility and proposed compensating the demons with cosmic treasures and knowledge in exchange for more troops.
• Samael led six other demon Supreme Lords away from Bloodline Controller’s demiplane and assigned each of them a world to investigate.
• Long E led a hundred Demon Lords into the Tiger Roar Great World as the Wizard World withdrew from the battlefield.
• Leo’s World Lords rushed the demons and self-detonated, but Long E shielded the Demon Lords and destroyed the remaining World Lords.
• Long E failed to capture any World Lords because they self-detonated as soon as he tried to take them alive.
• Leo learned from resurrected World Lords that the demons had occupied seven worlds and killed over six hundred World Lords and nearly a billion low-level troops.

Leo sent Baturu and Black Soluo to exploit the demons’ scattered Supreme Lords, and they began killing them with surprise attacks. The Purgatory Demon race lost four Supreme Lords in moments as the two returned to the Shadow Plane to hunt again.

• Leo asked Baturu to teach the invading demons a lesson, and Baturu brought Black Soluo into the attack.
• Baturu ambushed Long E outside the Tiger Roar Great World, using the Sword of Winter, the Light of Imprisonment, and the Endless Pot to kill him.
• Baturu killed the demon lords inside the Tiger Roar Great World and then returned to the Shadow Plane.
• Black Soluo returned carrying half of another Supreme Lord’s corpse, and he and Baturu left together to hunt more demons.
• Leo examined and sealed the corpses as Black Soluo and Baturu returned with two more Supreme Lord bodies, bringing the Purgatory Demon race’s losses to four Supreme Lords.

Leo chose to leave Samael alive so the Purgatory Demons would retain strength to defend themselves and the Wizard World would remain occupied by the threat of the red broken saber. After learning six of their Supreme Lords had died, the wizards argued over who should wield the saber, while Samael withdrew from the war and prepared to return home.

• Black Soluo and Baturu tied in their third contest, and Leo sent them back to their duties rather than risk a prolonged fight against Samael.
• Leo explained to Baturu that keeping Samael alive would distract the wizards and leave the Purgatory Demon World better able to protect itself.
• Bloodline Controller reconvened the Supreme Lords after they learned six Purgatory Demon Supreme Lords had died, and the wizards argued over who should claim the red broken saber.
• Cosmic Wanderer persuaded the wizards to postpone deciding the saber's ownership until after the war and place it in the World Land of Origin if they obtained it.
• Samael learned of his losses and refused to send more troops, telling the wizards he would return to the Purgatory Demon World.
• Bloodline Controller offered compensation for the Purgatory Demons' losses, but Samael declined and prepared to leave.

The Wizard World trapped the Purgatory Demon Supreme Lords and took the broken red saber, leaving the Purgatory Demon World effectively under its control. After Leo realized the Wizard World was using his forces to weaken its enemies while preserving its Stigmata Wizards, he ordered a faster offensive that devastated the battlefield and forced the Wizard World to retreat.

• The Bloodline Controller summoned the Purgatory Demon Supreme Lords to the Wizard World and pressured Samael into handing over the broken red saber.
• Leo told Baturu that three Purgatory Demon Supreme Lords were held as hostages while the others returned to gather more armies.
• Leo concluded that the Wizard World had used his forces to weaken the Myriad Beasts World and the Purgatory Demon World while keeping most Stigmata Wizards in reserve.
• Leo and Baturu ordered World Lords to attack without restraint, and self-detonating World Lords rapidly increased across the battlefield.
• Leo seized worlds as the Wizard World retreated and began drawing even more World Lords and Demon Lords from its allied civilizations.
