One More!

Carl awakens after the climactic battle to find his group has survived relatively intact, though many others perished and Mongo was severely injured. After processing the aftermath and ripping Paz's card to free him from enslavement, Carl proposes an emergency action item to the Faction Wars system that surprisingly passes with AI support, allowing viewer votes to decide remaining rule changes. The chapter concludes with Carl, Donut, and Imani positioned beneath the stairwell chamber as a thirty-minute timer expires, pulling them and thousands of other crawlers upward through a portal opened by the freed demon lord Amayon, launching them toward the ninth floor and the beginning of Faction Wars.

Carl regains consciousness being carried by Louis through the burning city. His group has survived—Mongo is alive but badly injured, Katia has transformed into a mantaur form, Tran is unconscious and legless, and others sustained injuries including Li Jun losing an eye. Carl discovers he lost all his hair from burns but reached level 73. Donut mentions upgraded potions that may help Mongo and reveals the building collapsed after her Hole spell evacuation. Samantha arrives to break up with Carl, stating she will return to her king. After she leaves, Donut reveals she ripped Shi Maria's card immediately. Donut presents Paz's card—now titled "The God Predator"—which Katia wants destroyed since Paz killed the goddess. Katia reveals she recovered the Bolt of Ophiotaurus used to kill the goddess and can reuse it. Carl refuses to keep Paz's card, explaining Paz should not have been enslaved in the first place, and Donut rips it. A quest update appears with a thirty-minute timer: Amayon has been freed and will open a portal, pulling everything in the Cuba region upward. A demeaning notification jokes about Carl's involvement with Raul, causing embarrassment. Carl decides non-Princess Posse members should use manual stairwells rather than risk the portal. The group reaches the church and Carl reflects on the Crown of the Sepsis Whore path and Katia's use of Huanxin's flower, deciding there must be another way. Carl proposes an Emergency Action Item to hand remaining Faction Wars votes to viewers since other teams refuse to vote, and the AI immediately approves it. Multiple pending action items are voted on by viewers and passed, including one establishing a tenth "Home Team" with NPCs Juice Box and Sir Ferdinand. As the timer counts down, Carl, Donut, and Imani position themselves beneath the stairwell chamber marked with an X. Donut nervously chats about Katia's regeneration ability and mentions a celestial benefactor box from the garbage truck company. Carl assures Donut they have already won. As the timer reaches zero, Donut notices Carl's jacket glowing with the image of a centipede crawling through skulls. A voice speaks in Carl's mind, revealing he failed to use Daughter's Kiss and that someone needs him alive for future work. The portal opens and sucks Carl, Imani, and Donut skyward along with thousands of other crawlers, leaving the surface stripped clean. Carl makes an internal vow to avenge his brother Asher and swears to not break under pressure. Quest notifications confirm Hell Comes to Crawler Town and The Missing Piece are complete, welcoming crawlers to Faction Wars.
