Crown City is where the second half of Multiverse's fourth chapter takes place. The player is transported here by Khabarovsk if HMS New Witchopolis was sunk, or by themselves if the carrier is defended.

## Lore

Crown City was made by Spider after his exile from his home dimension. Using a number of Creation Orbs with differing colours, Spider moulded the City into shape with his mind. Its superb planning led to it having one of the highest qualities of living in the world, turning it into a bustling economic hub. New Witchopolis, which is 150 miles north, looks like a trash heap in comparison. The high average income of the City has made it a favourite place of Olivia to operate in. Most of the police force have a burning hatred for her, which she returns equally. The prison has tried to make Olivia proof cells and handcuffs a number of times, but she always manages to escape. A running gag between the residents is that the police force are only still around because of her.

## Gameplay

Crown City serves as the merge-point for two storylines, based on whether or not W was successful in her attack on the Carrier.

### Carrier not sunk

The main party has a serious moment after seeing W split in half by a Fighter Deadeye, before noticing that they are being fired upon by several Partisan motorboats. Several waves of Partisans attack, trying to board the upper deck and overpower the party, culminating in a fight with Abyssal Battleship Re Class, who has been Skulljacked. After this fight, the party will become uncanny. RU Rasputin contacts the party to apologise for the attack, since Re Class was travelling with him, but before they can respond they notice Lauren is missing from the controls, leaving a note saying she has gone back to her Enclave to "get stronger shit". This nearly causes the carrier to crash into Crown City, but Katja manages to dock safely. They are hassled by the Hydroport security, but since they actually sent out a docking request which got accepted by Spider, they are able to proceed without a fight. Instead they have to wait in a passport control queue for a long time, during which Olivia manages to play a giant poker game with the whole queue, which makes everyone a bit happier. Unfortunately, Olivia is pulled aside for questioning by Hailey and Halley Comet due to her criminal background. Katja tells her to try and argue that she is a diplomatic envoy due to her occupation, and to "hornswoggle" them. A series of questions follows, if the player takes too long to resolve the situation, Liberty throws a grenade into the interrogation room which kills all three of them, resulting in a game over. After this, the Mystic Enclave section begins, and the party will be in their hotel room afterwards.

### Carrier sunk

RU Khabarovsk escorts them to the Hydroport, causing an argument to ensue among the party over if Olivia is a terrorist or not. While this is happening, a policeman engages them, making Olivia run away. Katrina and Katja move through the transport hub by themselves, meeting Olivia again when she drags them into a maintenance tunnel. They are attacked by several Supercops while they try and find Spider, resulting in them meeting Hailey or Halley Comet instead. Hailey will appear if the player has formed Land's End, and a fight will ensue. Beating either of them will cause Spider to appear and defuse the situation, leading the party to their hotel room.

Both paths converge at the hotel room, and the player can decide to start to end the chapter by following the instructions given by the red text Olivia says. There is some side content to be had first.

- If you gathered the side characters in chapter 3, you can buy special items from Charlotte, weapons from Tony, drugs from Mathias, noodles from Colonel Noodles, and get free money from Brad. Charlotte will also give you a free tarot card to give to Lauren when she returns.

-Brad suggests you break into Hailey's house to steal a fancy candelabra to give to Charlotte, doing so will result in Charlotte and Brad following you into battle with powerful assist skills.

-Tony asks you break into the police station to retrieve some things that got confiscated from him, doing so will result in him following you into battle with a powerful assist skill.

-Mathias will grant you her assist skill if you have one of the Sword, Crown, Chalice or Shield, regardless if it is the right one.

-Going to Spider's house will allow you to enter the Red Universe, despite his warnings.

-Going to the beach will allow you to meet Tom.

Going to the Military Base will trigger the fight with Liberty, and lead to Chapter 5.
