• Thunder Star Pillar offered to hold off the pursuers, but Gustavo said he could escape and flew out of his uncle’s mouth.

After the Lion Fleet’s resistance helped Mingke crush the enemy’s main force, Lieutenant General Yers Meini’er hailed them as a fleet of Champions.

• General Mingke delayed his right-wing attack until Sergei’s fleet advanced far enough, then ordered the four fleets to strike as his flagship endured the assault.
• Sergei sent four reserve fleets to reinforce the left wing and ordered his center to press toward Mingke’s flagship, leaving the Saila rear vulnerable to three Wolf King Assault Ship Fleets.
• Masainu Leervisi’s forces attacked Thousand Leaves Planet, but Sorens’s Lion Fleet fought back with its advanced weapons and the planet’s fortresses rather than surrendering.
• Gustavo led the Dragon Soldier Legion in a boarding assault that disabled many Wolf King Assault Ships and gave the Lion Fleet time to restore its firepower.
• After the Lion Fleet was reduced to a few dozen ships, the Iridescent Light fleets withdrew, and Lieutenant General Yers Meini’er told Sorens that their resistance had helped Mingke defeat the enemy’s main force.

Mingke stepped down after the Fifth Army’s defeat, while Gustavo left the Lion Fleet and learned that his talent was exacting a dangerous price. Sylvain sent Gustavo to the Mitrola clan’s ancestral land, the Treacherous Destruction Continent, to seek help, and Gustavo set out with 50,000 Star Wheels and resources stored in the Gene Warehouse.

• The three demigods accepted Logo’s order and pledged to obey him.

Logo ordered the Gendaya Royal Court to attack the White Wolf Kingdom and prepared the Nirvana Legion for a decisive campaign. After the assault began at Dragon Blood Island, he used the Nirvana Tower’s Wings of Freedom to break through the capital’s spatial defenses and appear above the White Wolf Royal Capital.

• Logo rejected his advisers’ concerns and ordered a campaign to destroy the White Wolf Kingdom and reclaim the Rising Sun Peninsula.
• Logo assigned the Left Chancellor to secure foreign support, Grand Duke Lieyuan to lead the invasion, and the Grand Elder to protect the capital.
• Logo chose not to use the Mouth of Gluttony on Qiya’s Clan Hatred, hoping its destruction of the White Wolf King would let her gain greater power.

• Logo sent the Nirvana Legion to devastate the White Wolf capital and confronted White Wolf King Diriel, Wolf's Kiss Brinsha, Filomite the Dusk Star Pillar, and Amanda the Dawn Knight.
• The Nirvana Tower sealed the city's space, preventing Brinsha from using Space Walking as the demigods attacked Logo's army.
• Logo's soldiers overwhelmed the demigods; Filomite fell first, followed by Brinsha and Amanda, despite Amanda's appeal to Golden Lion Jiesili.

• Logo transformed the Nirvana Tower into the God-Hunting Spear and killed Diriel with a shot that erased his body, soul, karma, and consciousness.

Diorus and Baliewei discussed Logo’s destruction of Diorus’s plans, while Diorus secretly manipulated Baliewei into seeking the God-Hunting Spear and helping him break free. Baliewei ordered Sylvain to assassinate Logo, and Sylvain agreed while worrying about his family’s safety.

• Diorus told the Sun Eclipser that Diriel and Filomite had fallen to Logo Campbell, and they discussed Logo’s God-Hunting Spear.

After the Gendaya Royal Court conquered the White Wolf Royal Capital, the Radiant Empire went to war but suffered a swift, disastrous defeat due to failures in its command system. The Winter Empire’s orc king, Stark, then rallied his warriors to attack the weakened Radiant Empire.

• Pope Anthony ordered the Radiant Empire to mobilize its troops and Demigods, while Golden Lion Jiesili’s forces were held at the border by seventy-two opposing Demigods.
• Marshal Puliefu learned that the White Wolf Royal Capital had fallen, but Pope Anthony ordered him to continue the war against the Gendaya Royal Court.
• The Heavenly Eye Force split the Radiant Empire and White Wolf Kingdom armies, then repeatedly routed and captured their troops; the war ended after five days, with most fighting lasting only half a day.
• Stark told the orcs that the Radiant Empire had rotted from within, rallied them to war, and led them out to crush Radiance.

Logo learned that Qiya had become a demigod and heard how the Winter Empire’s invasion and Pope Anthony’s purge had weakened the Radiant Empire. He approved a campaign to plunder the Light-Bathed Sea, spared the Demon Pattern Grand Duke after warning him against killing prisoners, and assigned Alex to manage the prisoners.

After taking the throne, Logo used his new authority and covert interference to spark a war along the Radiant Empire’s borders. The Radiant Empire tried to negotiate, but Logo rejected its offer as more powers joined the effort to divide the empire.

• Logo discovered that [King's Crown] had appeared among his talents after he became king, granting him resistance to mystical attacks and a power that suppressed his subordinates.
• Logo infiltrated the Radiant Empire’s border fleet information system and activated its fire-control system, prompting Yinnuke’s dwarf fleet to attack Geruiou’s fleet in the Silver Serpent Galaxy.
• Battles erupted across several border galaxies, and Pope Anthony grew furious until Golden Lion Jiesili argued that a third party might have manipulated the fleets and urged him to seek mediation.
• Pope Anthony ordered the foreign ministry to prepare for mediation, but Logo rejected the Radiance envoy’s diplomatic letter unless the empire surrendered the Light-Bathed Sea and other demanded territories.
• More powers joined the partition of the Radiant Empire as its strength waned and it began to fall from its position as Planet Oklo’s hegemon.

Logo sent the Royal Court’s fleet to seize the Holy Knight Star System as a foothold for capturing the Dragon River Star System and gaining control of Golden Star. As the fleet approached its target, Sylvain learned of the campaign and arranged support from the Radiant Empire.

• Logo entrusted the campaign to the Demon Pattern Grand Duke, while the grand elder objected to attacking the Holy Knight Star System until Logo secretly revealed something that changed his mind.
• Logo’s true goal was the Dragon River Star System, whose spatial wormhole led to Golden Star; he wanted Holy Knight Star as a strategic buffer and a base for a long-distance teleportation array.

• The First Blood Ancestor told Sylvain where Gendaya’s new king would appear and reminded him of his promise to the Blood Clan.

The victory restored the Gendaya Royal Court’s standing, and envoys soon arrived on Origin Island to offer goodwill.

• Logo assessed the battlefield, noting that Dark Moon Gelaxius had been gravely wounded while the Frost Lord and Sylvain, Dark Moon, escaped, and that the God-Hunting Spear could not be fired again for a long time.
