Back in the past, there was a tribe in Imanity followed by a leader, Riku Dora. The story starts with Ivan and his two companions. One of his companion, Allei finds a strategic map in the Steel Mountain while they were looking for "resources" and she might be able to decode it if she knew Dwarven Language. Ivan, Allei, and Riku goes out to scout the new race and it appears to be a two legged, short figure. Riku spots a Demonia and said that Ivan will need to be the bait for them to escape. Ivan gladly accepts and dies from the Demonia. Riku and Allei escapes into the forest and finally finds help. Allei is still wondering when this era of "Great War" will end. A guard finds them and leads them back to their hideout, containing around 2000 people. Ivan's daughter, Nonna, asks where her daddy is and Riku told her the truth. Nonna's mother comes out and thanks Riku and Simon, one of the people of the tribes, told Riku that the telescope stolen from the Dwarfs has been fixed. Riku still remembers that he has sacrificed 48 people by telling them to die for Imanity. The tribe had to believe in Riku because he is the only one that can save the tribe from the "Preys" Riku's adopted sister, Korone Dora (or nicknamed Coloso) asks when this war is going to end and the story goes back to the real world, where Izuna is crying because Ivan died and Tet starts to begin another story about the Ex-Machinas.
Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 - 1×1=Aimless
Summary:
The story begins with Riku finding a weird mechanical girl that appears to be an Ex-Machina. Riku also explains that even Flugels and Dragoneers (Dragonia) feared them because they can recalculate their attacks and counterattack instantly. The girl starts to calculate Riku's appearance and told him that he doesn't have the "charm." After a few conversations, the girl starts to calculate if she has "Love," "Self," and "Soul," to become a real being. The girl also asks if she could be brought inside the "tribe" but Riku declines. The girl challenges Riku to a game of Chess and the victory condition is that if she wins, she gets to go inside the "tribe," and if he wins, the victory condition is still that the girl gets to go inside the "tribe." Riku changes the condition and the game begins. With no information about the game, the girl wins and Riku brings her inside the "tribe." Riku asks what her name is and she said her name/model is "Üc207Pr4f57t9." Riku renames her to シュヴィ・ドーラ (holy shit translate it yourself) Riku dresses her up to look like a girl from Imanity so she gets to go inside. Riku and the girl goes inside his room and she challenges Riku another game to find out information about "True Love." After a long while of conversation, Riku and the girl goes to take a bath and talks more about "True Love" again. One of has already been passed since she entered the "tribe." and Riku asks how many Old Deus there are in the world. She said that there are about "Infinite" of them, but most of them didn't pass the "Living Conditions" and disappeared. She also mentioned the creator of Flugels, Artosh, the creator of the Dwarves, Okein, and the creator of the Elves, Kainasu. Riku goes out with the girl robot hugging him on an adventure of the wasted Capital of Elven Gard. After riding the horse for half a day, they finally arrived and a bloody red sky appeared and the ruins are in sight. Riku goes to a library and finds books regarding to all the languages of Elf, Dwarf, Werebeast, Fairy, and Demonia. Riku goes out to the library and finds a storm going on, and the girl says that it was caused by the "Storm of Death," which started after Elven Gard was blasted into nothing. Riku starts playing chess with her until the storm ends and talks more about "True Love." Meanwhile back in the "tribe," Riku's adopted sister, Malta, spotted 6 Dragonias and squadrons of Dwarfs heading towards the Eastern part of the "tribe," and it's going to become a battlefield for all three races. The entire "tribe" hideout has been wiped out and Imanity needs a new hideout to stay in. Riku has already prepared a hideout and said that he will not let anyone die again.
Chapter 3 - 1+1=Deathless
Summary:
The story begins with Riku and his trusty robot girl meeting with people about ending the "Great War." Riku said that this world should become a game and the girl creates 6 rules for the "solution":
1. No murder will be allowed.
2. Do not let anyone die.
3. (HARD TO TRANSLATE)
4. Do not use any methods to cheat.
5. Their rules do not apply to us. (Meaning the "Great War" rules of bloodshed)
6. Violation of these regulations, shall be deemed to defeat.
Riku challenges 179 "ghosts" to the game with the rules applied. Riku said that the game will be using a dice and the girl said that Riku has less than 1% chance to win, all in or nothing. After skipping some shitty conversations, Riku proposes marriage to her and she rejects. Riku starts to explain to her that the marriage is for them to be partnered up and become the first pioneer of the world. The story goes back to a point, 12 years ago, where the Ex-Machina race had to fight against one of the three kings of Dragonia, 『焉龍』アランレイヴ, (TRANSLATE IT YOURSELF) which became one of the biggest battlefields for Ex-Machina, with 3496 Ex-Machina versus 7 Dragonias including the king. The king and the 7 Dragonias got "annihilated" and 1468 Ex-Machina turned into scraps. She remembers that she was one of the young Ex-Machina that got affected by the Dragonia king's ultimate ability, thus almost turning into dust. Back to present, Riku puts the engagement ring on her finger and his adopted sister, Malta, begins the wedding oath for Riku and the Ex-Machina girl. Back to the meeting with the ghosts, Riku brings out a chess game and explains about the "Race Pieces," such as the Werebeasts as the Pawn, the Elves as the Rook. The game begins and one of the "ghosts" revealed to be シンク・ニルヴァレン (TRANSLATE IT YOURSELF) and it is speculated that she is the ancestor of Feel Nilvalen and she is one of the strongest elemental magicians in the "Great War." She also proposed the "Void" protection plan for the Phantasmas to Riku. While playing the game, Riku also explained the the Queen pieces is the Flugel race. Some shit conversations occur and NEXT CHAPTER.
Chapter 4 - 1÷2=Companionless
Summary:
While still figuring out the chess board, Malta comes out and Riku starts to explain the origins of the Old Deus and how they came from the stars and the "Star Cup" is the device that creates to Old Deus. The "Star Cup" is the symbol that chooses the One True God for Disboard. Riku said that they have to set up 32 points to reveal the "Star Cup." While the Ex-Machina girl was setting up one of the points near the "Strategic Point," she meets one of the Flugels, known as Jibril. Jibril begins to ask her why she was in the battlefield and the girl said that she doesn't want to die and wants to go back to Riku. Jibril said that it was her first time seeing an Ex-Machina that fears death and prepares to kill her. The girl uses "Overdrive" and tries to run away, and when all hope is lost, she uses one of her last weapon, "Code - Dragonia's Roar." She thought that the roar would melt Jibril like it did with many of the Ex-Machinas 12 years ago, but it didn't work. Jibril blows the girl's right arm away and the girl attempts to unlock the "Lock" placed on her by using the teachings of "True Love" from Riku. The access has been granted and the entire armory of the Ex-Machina has been unlocked for her to use. She has 251 seconds until it locks down and she uses "Code - All Unlock" and prepares for one last stand. The time has ran out, but she placed the last point to reveal the "Star Cup" for Riku. Jibril says good bye and uses one of her ultimate ability, "Sky Strike," and before everything turned into ashes, the girl finally understands "True Love" and turns into ashes. After her death, the Elves and Dwarfs has begun to fight each other and they had one secret weapon, the Phantasma killer and the Old Deus killer. Ten years has passed since Riku's wife (robot) died and Malta disappeared. Riku thought that the game is over, but an Ex-Machina boy comes over to relay a ten years old message from his wife to Riku, that the "Game is Not Over."
Chapter 5 - 1÷0=Etherealness
Summary:
Jibril comes back to the HOLY LAND OF FLUGELS and Azrael was worried about where she was. Artosh, the buffed and the known War Old Deus, asks Jibril where she has been. Also known as the Father of Flugels, Jibril believes that he is the God of the Gods, the Strongest God in the "Great War." While Jibril said that there is no challenger for the "Strongest," Artosh smiles and looks down above the sky.
Pointing at Avant Heim, the Ex-Machina fires more than 1200 "Sky Strikes" towards the home of the Flugels. Azrael and many other Flugels began to panic in the throne room, but Artosh laughs and said that he finally has a challenger. The Flugels begins to give power to Artosh to prepare "God Strike," which will destroy tens of thousands of Old Deus. Although Azrael and many other Flugels begins to give him power, Azrael never understood what Artosh's really is doing. Artosh said, "On this day, I will finally seek the Eternal Unsolvable "Answer." (Going back to Volume 5 huh?) Meanwhile at the encampment below Avant Heim, the people fighting against Artosh began to see an enormous power coming out from Avant Heim, when the Ex-Machina tried to calculate it, it was known to be "Impossible to Calculate," and everyone knows what this means at the same time, "God Strike" is going to happen. With the "Link," the Dragonias, the Ex-Machinas, the Dwarves, and the Elves, began to use all their power to destroy Avant Heim, but it's not working. While the chaos is going on, Feel Nilvalen's ancestor, the elemental master, シンクニ·ルヴァレン, (TRANSLATE IT YOURSELF) searches for Riku and finally finds him. At the encampment, an Ex-Machina reports that they have "72.8%" chance of losing this fight and a girl Ex-Machina holds the report said, "[Unlock Code], ----org.2000, [True Code - Star Killer] is now yours." (Skipping some parts and into the good parts) More than 4000 Ex-Machinas has been destroyed and only 5 "Combat" Ex-Machina remains to fight in the battle. Before the "God Strike" was used, one of the Ex-Machina used "Code - Dragonia's Roar" and wiped off most of the Flugels already exhausted from giving power to Artosh. The Ex-Machinas goes up to Avant Heim and finds Jibril and Azrael, also exhausted, and didn't care about them. The "God Strike" wiped off 88% of the entire Ex-Machina force and the Ex-Machina at Avant Heim finds Artosh, where he challenges them, the "Weakest" against the "Strongest." Meanwhile, Riku is thinking about the rules that his wife has made and her last wishes. He also thinks that if the war doesn't reaches "Checkmate," then it should at least reach to a "Stalemate." But if the Ex-Machina does have "Code - Starkiller [Stale Martyr]", then the game is over for the Old Deus. Riku goes crazy about the deaths of the "Great War" and the loss of his wife and finally the "Star Cup" appears within his reach.
Glorious:
By using the Star Cup, it has given birth to the God of Games, the Weakest God and the Last Remaining Old Deus, Tet. With the last words by Riku, "I will meet my wife again," he disappears into the light above and Tet holds the "Star Cup" and the world changed. The bloody red sky has disappeared and the Sun has finally shown up. Malta, the last remaining survivor of the Dora family, starts to cry about the loss of her siblings. Riku appears in the light and said his last wishes to her, "I will give all of Imanity to you, because you're my older sister and I can trust you." (Read my Discussion Post for the ending of this Chapter.)
Epilogue - Ending Talk
Summary:
Tet has finished with his "Great War" talk, he said that he might have made Shiro and Sora look alike with Riku and his waifu because they have one thing in common, winning. Tet notices that somebody is coming and decides to disappear, with the marks of names still on the ground. Sora, Shiro, Steph, and Jibril rushes to Izuna because they thought she was lost and Jibril got curious and angry about the names marked on the ground, with marks the three names with one of the names that she killed. Steph only remembers Malta and she said that Malta was the queen during the "Great War," which proves that Riku and Malta were ancestors to Steph. (Good Thing.) Jibril said that she didn't remember the two other names (Probably Lied) and the group packs up to find more information about Old Deus, because of #7 of the Ten Oaths:
[ 7 ] All matters for group conflicts will be decided by a representative.
and Old Deus, the highest in the Exceeds, does not have a representative. The group said that they should let Miko decide, and goes on an adventure to the Werebeast lands. When they arrives, Miko starts to summon a tornado and begins to pick a representative for the Old Deus.

I'm pretty sure that those three names were indicated on Steph's family heirloom, not on the ground, or at least that's what I read on the translation.
Still pretty good summary, good effort right there. Thanks.
