Logo completed the Giant Mountain Mecha with Birmingham, reached level 10 mechanics, and unlocked All Things Under Heaven, greatly improving his control over the Fire of Birth. As Melier trained in the mecha and Birmingham prepared to leave Planet Oklo, Logo planned to return to the Sunset Jungle in three days.

Logo heard reports on the Campbell Family’s military and economic growth, then assembled the Golden Viper, an alchemical creature designed for mining. He hoped the machine would convince the Yigeng Tribe to invest.

• Lavier reported that he had bought 50,000 memory-erased slaves, selected 10,000 for the Campbell Second Infantry Brigade, and formed the Heavenly Eye Special Forces from 2,008 Blood Descendants.

• Logo asked Lunbate whether the parts he had ordered had arrived and learned they had been in the laboratory storeroom for thirteen days.
• Logo used the Fire of Birth to assemble the Golden Viper, a two-star alchemical creature built to extract valuable minerals.

Logo visited Tuoluo Pu to propose that the Yigeng Tribe buy Golden Vipers for mining. Tuoluo Pu asked to see a sample tested before making a decision.

• Logo traveled through the Yigeng Tribe’s mining areas and saw slave races mining ordinary ore while Holy Stone People worked alongside the tribe as equal partners.
• Tuoluo Pu welcomed Logo to the mining department headquarters and invited him to share molten fire wine.
• Logo presented the Golden Viper’s specifications and pitched it as a cost-saving alchemical mining creature.
• Tuoluo Pu examined the proposal but asked Logo to demonstrate a Golden Viper’s performance before agreeing to buy one.

Logo demonstrated the Golden Viper’s mining ability and low operating cost to Tuoluo Pu, securing an order from the Yigeng Tribe. After receiving a two-million-Ta-Pound deposit, Logo assigned Lunbate to purchase parts and supplies.

• Tuoluo Pu tested the Golden Viper at an untouched mine, where it produced a large quantity of processed black jade in two hours.
• Logo told Tuoluo Pu that each Golden Viper used 0.4 Ta Pounds’ worth of Cold-Extracted Golden Liquid per day.

Logo worked to expand his alchemical production capacity while Lancelot rose to stardom at the Sade Arena and strengthened himself through fights and potions. Lancelot’s Constitution and Spirit reached 10, leaving him at an attribute barrier as he continued training toward higher skill levels.

• Logo built a two-star alchemical assistance device and planned to increase production with alchemical assistants, though he still needed time to master the knowledge required for advanced models.
• Lancelot defeated a higher-rated Tier Three transcendent in the Sade Arena and remained the branch’s top star, earning enough from matches to cover his potion costs.
• Lancelot drank Spring of Vitality after the fight and continued using it and Condensed Moonlight Liquid alongside his training regimen.
• Lancelot increased Body of Steel by one level and Flow Method by two, while his Constitution and Spirit each reached 10 and an attribute barrier.

Lancelot and the other special training camp members assembled for a dangerous operation, while six injured competitors were sent to the hospital. Before the operation began, Lancelot and the three other A-grade candidates received Electromagnetic Armor, and Lancelot mastered it far faster than anyone else.

• Burke summoned Lancelot to assemble with the other competitors, and Lancelot reunited with Burke, Cole, and Rui.
• Kaladona announced that the special operation would begin at 2:00 a.m. the day after tomorrow and that the members had one day and two nights to prepare.
• Kaladona kept Lancelot, Dekai, Windsor, and Abaddon behind and issued each of them a set of Electromagnetic Armor for the operation.
• Lancelot quickly learned to control the armor's magnetic plates, while Dekai, Windsor, and Abaddon struggled and got bruised.
• Dekai asked if Lancelot had used the armor before, and Lancelot said he had not; Kaladona praised his effortless control.

Lancelot's squad prepared for a joint Alliance assault on the Revival Society's Calais City base and took positions to intercept fleeing members. Rui overcame his hesitation and killed an armed Revival Society fighter with his electromagnetic sniper rifle.

• Lancelot led Burke, Rui, and Cole in planning their squad's battle roles and equipment for the operation.
• More than two hundred special training camp members and their instructors flew to Calais City, where police sealed off the area around the disguised factory.
• Kaladona ordered the instructors to attack the factory while rookie squads waited in assigned sectors to catch fleeing members.
• Lancelot warned his squad that the instructors had begun their assault after he sensed blood in the air.
• Rui spotted an armed man fleeing the factory, followed Lancelot's order to target the main fighting force, and shot him dead.

Rui and his companions ambushed the fugitives, while Lancelot confronted the third-tier martial artist Hogg. Lancelot caught Hogg’s rapier between his palms and struck him with a powerful side kick.

• Rui killed fugitives with precise sniper shots as Burke and Cole praised him over the radio.
• Lancelot identified Hogg as a third-tier martial artist and ordered Burke and Cole to face three other fugitives while Rui covered the east side.
• Lancelot activated Body of Steel and prepared his electromagnetic armor as Hogg charged using Flash Step.
• Hogg tried to force Lancelot back with a rapier strike, but Lancelot caught the blade between his palms and blocked its Yuan Qi with a blue shield.
• Lancelot kicked Hogg in the waist and abdomen, breaking his ribs and injuring his internal organs.

Lancelot and his squad defeated their attackers and continued hunting through the night, killing more than forty enemies. An instructor then warned that a Fourth-Tier Transcendent was approaching Windsor’s squad, and Lancelot realized they were in danger.

• Hogg fled after Lancelot kicked him, but Rui shot him and Lancelot caught up and killed him.
• Lancelot joined Burke and Cole’s fight against three ability users, while Rui’s gunfire and the team’s attacks brought down all three.
• Burke and Cole struggled with the strain of their first true battle, and Lancelot sent them east while he went west to face more enemies.
• Lancelot’s squad killed more than forty enemies, including nine Transcendents, as the night’s fighting dwindled.
• An instructor warned that a Fourth-Tier Transcendent was heading toward Windsor’s squad, and Lancelot recognized the danger.

Lancelot joined Windsor’s fight against the wounded Fourth-Tier Transcendent Hunter and helped hold him back as he unleashed an explosive technique. Lancelot struck Hunter’s chest, then kicked him between the legs, leaving the battle unresolved.

• Lancelot reached Windsor’s team and found Hunter attacking her and her injured teammates.
• Lancelot took over as the team’s tank and fought Hunter alongside Windsor.
• Hunter activated an explosive secret technique, strengthening his energy blades and damaging Lancelot’s electromagnetic armor.
• Lancelot pushed through Hunter’s attacks while Windsor restrained him, forcing Hunter to grow impatient.
• Lancelot caught an opening, struck Hunter in the chest, then kicked him between the legs.

Lancelot killed Hunter, a Fourth-Tier Transcendent, after a brutal fight, then learned that powerful presences including Instructor Tarn were approaching. By morning, Tarn secured compensation for Lancelot and Windsor from Luca’s team for the mistake that had allowed Hunter to escape.

• Windsor restrained Hunter with an amethyst energy net, but Lancelot exploited the opening and battered him until his healing fluid ran out.
• Hunter fought back viciously, but Lancelot’s greater durability won out, and Hunter died.
• Lancelot tore off Hunter’s head to prevent his regeneration, then noticed Instructor Tarn and others approaching.
• At dawn, Luca questioned Lancelot’s calmness, while Tarn blamed Luca’s team for the incident and demanded compensation for Lancelot and Windsor.
• Luca transferred 400 merit points to Tarn after they negotiated the amount.

Windsor felt guilty for endangering Nick, and Tarn distributed the compensation and merit points among the survivors. Lancelot totaled his earnings and chose a lightning bloodline potion to address his lack of energy-based attacks.

• Windsor asked Tarn to give all her merit points to Nick because she blamed herself for nearly getting him killed.
• Tarn awarded Lancelot 250 compensation points and divided the remaining 150 among Nick, Windsor, and their third teammate.
• Lancelot calculated that he had earned 1,360 merit points and browsed the available bloodline potions.
• Lancelot rejected genetic potions and organ transplantation, then decided he needed an energy-control talent for his second awakening.
• Lancelot chose lightning as the energy type he wanted to awaken.

Lancelot spent his merit points on a Sword-Armored Electric Eel bloodline potion, planning to use it after meeting two personal requirements rather than waiting for all the recommended safeguards. On Planet Pandora, Gustavo bullied his triplet siblings Mora and Bradley while Spider Mom slept in the magma cavern.

• Lancelot chose the Sword-Armored Electric Eel potion, but was 50 merit points short, so Burke lent him the points.
• Burke warned Lancelot that the potion required a physique attribute of 35, an electric-affinity physique, and sufficient willpower; Lancelot said he would wait until he qualified.
• Lancelot bought the potion and decided he would use it once his physique reached 11 and his Flow Method reached level 21.
• On Planet Pandora, Gustavo pinned down Mora and Bradley in the magma pool and made Bradley surrender.
• Gustavo tossed Mora repeatedly until she grew dizzy, then threw her back into the magma pool while Bradley watched in fear.

Gustavo revealed his formidable Dragon-Hunting Spider body, ate a huge meal of Three-Horned White Rhinoceros, and used the nutrients to fuel his training. When he sought a training method suited to his species, his Inherited Memory surfaced with techniques for Dragon-Hunting Spiders.

• Gustavo leaped out of the magma pool, revealing his three-meter height, five-meter span, and heavily armed body.
• Bradley wondered why Gustavo was eating again as Gustavo headed to the siblings’ food pit.
• Gustavo sliced up and quickly ate the remaining half of a Fifth-Tier Three-Horned White Rhinoceros.
• Gustavo’s powerful digestion processed the meal, and he hurried to exercise while its nutrients surged through his body.
• Gustavo searched his Inherited Memory for a suitable training method, and it revealed techniques suited to Dragon-Hunting Spiders.

After Gustavo reached Tier Five through body-tempering training, he entered the Class Inheritance Hall and received the Star Capture User class from Mitrola. He controlled the inheritance energy and reviewed the new powers and increased attributes he had gained.

• Gustavo trained with the Neust Body Tempering Method while Mora chased Bradley around the cavern.
• Gustavo's body grew stronger and larger, prompting Spider Mom and his siblings to watch.
• Gustavo's consciousness entered the Class Inheritance Hall, where he received the Star Capture User inheritance from Mitrola.
• Gustavo returned to the cavern and, guided by Spider Mom, brought the rampaging inheritance energy under control.
• Gustavo checked his information panel and saw his Tier Five status, Star Capture skills, and increased attributes.

Gustavo tested his new Star Capture User abilities and developed a fighting style that combined gravity control, energy silk, and close combat. He realized his Luck Deprivation was making Mora and Bradley increasingly unlucky, so he worried that staying with them would put them in danger.

• Gustavo used Gravity Control to make Mora float, then dropped her and claimed he had run out of mana.
• Mora recognized Gustavo’s lie, then left to train so she could eventually defeat him.
• Gustavo practiced his energy silk and devised ways to combine it with gravity for ranged attacks, stealth, spatial jumps, and close combat.
• Gustavo noticed his Luck Deprivation was increasingly affecting Mora and Bradley, and worried that more accidents would befall them if he stayed nearby.

Gustavo asked Spider Mom to help him find creatures with soul talents so he could strengthen his soul talent. She agreed on the condition that he destroy a Nilat Cyclops settlement within three months, and he set out toward it.

• Gustavo asked Spider Mom to help him hunt creatures with soul talents, and she required him to complete a task in return.
• Spider Mom ordered Gustavo to raze a Nilat Cyclops settlement 330 kilometers east of the nest and slaughter at least 90% of its members within three months.
• Gustavo promised to bring back the Nilat chief's head and left the cavern.
• Gustavo traveled through the forest, suppressing his urge to kill as he headed toward the settlement.
• After half an hour, Gustavo declared that he had arrived.

Gustavo judged that attacking the Nirat Clan’s fortified settlement directly would be too costly, so he searched for a way to turn another powerful race against them. After scouting the surrounding rainforest, he chose the vicious Dog Demon Clan as the force to provoke, but had not yet set his plan in motion.

• Gustavo observed the Nirat settlement and assessed its defenses, population, and High-Rank Transcendent chief.
• Gustavo decided to avoid a drawn-out fight and sought a nearby race he could use against the Nirat Clan.
• Gustavo spent the next day scouting the surrounding territory and discovered several powerful races.
• Gustavo selected the Dog Demon Clan, whose territory lay near the Nirat settlement and whose reckless members often clashed with the Nirat.

Gustavo staged a Nirat Clan incursion into Dog Demon territory and used controlled Cyclopes to provoke a deadly clash. The Dog Demon leader, convinced the Nirat Clan had attacked, declared war.

• Gustavo scattered Nirat Clan feces and faked hunting signs across Dog Demon territory, prompting a patrol warrior to report a trespass.
• The Dog Demon leader inspected the scene and began to believe the Nirat Clan had crossed the border to hunt.
• Gustavo controlled three captured Cyclopes with spider silk and sent them deep into Dog Demon territory, where they were discovered near the clan’s young.
• The Cyclopes fought five Dog Demons, killing two warriors before the Dog Demons tore the Cyclopes apart.
• The Dog Demon leader arrived, watched his wounded clansmen die, and declared that the Dog Demon Clan would go to war.
