This chapter opens with a discussion of the "rules of space" and the four dragon-tavers. The narrator explains that these four creatures are both strong and able to regenerate. He wonders if he can use the "power of the heavens" to destroy them. He has been practicing using "star armor," which is a type of armor that allows you to communicate with "star-shaped objects" , to use the star-shaped object as a source of energy. He uses the star light to test his theory that these creatures are at their limit in their regeneration. He then uses the god-slaying strike to destroy the creatures. He thinks that this move will do the trick, but he wonders how long it will last.
