Cersei revealed that she had prepared to replace Elvera and agreed to work with Ansu as the Ladder Saintess, while Merlin unknowingly drank tea brewed from the remains of Esoteric Cultists.

Ansu attended the deacon promotion examination and discovered that Ashley Xien was its examiner, while the feared Alchemy Bishop Morgan Reinhardt served as Chief Examiner. After Ansu realized Morgan was the eccentric alchemist behind several troubling summoning experiments, Ashley introduced him to her mentor, who greeted him as a “little cutie.”

The chapter ended with Morgan declaring that room order would be determined by lots, warning against children who drew their eyebrows.

• Bishop Morgan explained the Seven Virtues and revealed that the examination would test magic from all seven faiths.

• Luojia asked how the room order would be chosen, and Morgan said lots would determine it before warning that the gods disliked children who drew their eyebrows.

Ansu Morningstar used a legal loophole to reclaim the gold he had spent redrawing the exam room order, and Luojia, Liszt, and Arthur followed his lead. Bishop Morgan discovered that the supposedly minor candidates had spent far more than she expected.

• Ansu drew the room order, placing Healing and Chastity first, then paid one thousand gold coins to redraw and got Alchemy first.
• Ansu refused to pay ten thousand gold coins for a third draw and invoked the law allowing minors to refund purchases made without a guardian.

• Liszt and Arthur revealed they were seventeen and requested refunds for their purchases.
• Bishop Morgan learned that Liszt and Arthur had each drawn four times and wanted one hundred thousand gold coins refunded.

Ansu learned that Arthur and Liszt had used nude loans and minor refunds to make money, but Bishop Morgan summoned their fathers and threatened to expose their gender transformations. As the three prepared for the exam, Ansu proposed a humiliating wager, then challenged Princess Cersei to join it as she arrived at the Alchemy Cathedral.

• Liszt and Arthur explained that they had borrowed money from the Alchemy Holy See, bought lottery chances, and claimed refunds as minors, but Bishop Morgan had returned the money to their fathers and summoned them to discuss their sons' gender transformations.

Ansu entered the Alchemy Holy See’s first examination room, where he had to forge a weapon and defeat a vampire blood thrall under a thirty-minute deadline. Instead of completing the blueprint, he decided to delete parts of it so he could keep more of the valuable materials.

• Bishop Morgan and Merlin discussed Ansu’s prospects and bet on whether he would pass her difficult Alchemy Room.
• Ansu entered the artificial Naraku World with Luo Xiaohei, who had to wear a leash to pass the gate’s inspection.

• The exam revealed that Ansu had thirty minutes to forge the Redemption Holy Blade and kill the blood thrall outside the sealed door.
• Ansu examined the incomplete Alchemy Blueprint and decided to delete parts of it so he could keep the unused materials.

Ansu devised an unconventional way to pass the Alchemy Room by freezing holy water into a weapon instead of forging it into a blade. He completed the first mission, and the room then required him to kill the blood servants outside.

• Luo Xiaohei urged Ansu to make a weapon while blood servants battered the dining hall door and the seal weakened.
• Ansu recognized that the Redemption Holy Blade blueprint used the same materials as Bishop Morgan's Chili Knife and reasoned that holy water had to enter a vampire's body through a weapon.
• Ansu crossed out the alchemy circuits and pocketed nearly all the materials, explaining that his family's alchemy saved materials and money.
• Ansu used Temperature Magic to freeze the holy water in a conical flask, producing a sharp ice weapon that completed the first room mission.
• The mission changed to killing the blood servants, while Bishop Morgan asked Merlin whether he had taught Ansu his unusual alchemy.

Ansu Morningstar crafted an ice blade from holy water and used it to kill a high-tier Blood Slave, with Luo Xiaohei distracting the monster. After completing the Alchemy Room, he forged a stronger blade from the creature’s blood and prepared to enter the next examination room.

• Ansu told Luo Xiaohei to use the new blade to clear the next examination room, recognizing the exam as a roguelike challenge.

Ansu’s ice-forged Redemption Long Blade reshaped the simulated future, while Arthur’s turn in the examination became an increasingly absurd attempt to defeat a vampire with holy water. Arthur finally used his body to make the monster open its mouth, then fired the holy water into it.

• The Artificial Astral announced that Ansu ranked third, then predicted that his ice blade and Luo Xiaohei’s holy-water popsicles would usher in the Era of Ice and Blood and weaken the Chaos Kingdom.
• Great Sun Grand Duke Annan mocked Ansu and praised his own son Arthur, whom he expected to forge a holy sword with Sun’s Fire.
• Arthur, secretly at risk of reverting from his male form, failed to understand the Redemption Long Blade blueprint and realized he could not put holy water into a weapon or container.
• Arthur drank nearly five liters of holy water and stood motionless as spectators assumed he was preparing forbidden Human Alchemy.
• With fifteen minutes left, Arthur tore away the door’s seal and drew the blood servant into the room before using his body to make it open its mouth.
• Arthur fired the holy water into the blood servant, while Bishop Morgan turned away in embarrassment.

Arthur Sunny defeated the blood servant with holy water and a holy sword he claimed was forged from the Sun's Fire, then revealed that his heated urine was the ingredient. The Artificial Astral predicted that his invention would turn vampires toward holy light and rename them Urine Vampires, while Liszt Moon prepared to take the next trial.

• Arthur Sunny fed the blood servant holy water, weakened it with a punch, and killed it with his Sun Redemption Holy Blade.
• Arthur Sunny explained that his holy sword's supposed Sun's Fire came from his spicy-food-induced heated urine.

• Bishop Morgan ordered Room Seventeen restored after learning Arthur had taken its alchemy materials and the blood servant refused rebirth.
• Bishop Morgan learned that Liszt Moon was the next examinee.

Liszt Munn used traditional fire alchemy to evaporate five liters of holy water and trap the resulting gas in Infant's Comfort, creating a poison-gas bomb. He defeated the blood servant with it, and it died after asking what brand the gas was.

• Liszt entered Alchemy Examination Room Number Seventeen, lit a conventional fire, and began heating the holy water as the priests and Marquis Norman praised his traditional approach.
• Liszt boiled all five liters of holy water and collected the gas in Infant's Comfort, completing the Traditional Redemption Long Blade.
• Liszt broke the room's seal and tossed the swollen pouch at the charging blood servant, where it burst and released holy water gas.

• Ansu left the Alchemy Room and entered the Druid and Forest Holy See’s second room, where he found a plague-stricken forest and a study filled with Druidic books and potion materials.
• The Artificial Astral identified Ansu as a Druidic Scholar and Chaos Doctor infected with the Chaos Virus, giving him thirty minutes to create a Forest Vaccine and address the Human Empire’s high mortality rate.
• Ansu smiled, confident that his medical studies from his previous life suited the mission.

Ansu turned the Druid examination’s plague challenge into an experiment to create a stronger virus, using the Blood Redemption Holy Sword and a captured Calamity Hound. He produced a virus that barely threatened ordinary people but could cripple creatures of the Dark Side, leaving the watching Druids stunned.

• Ansu captured a Calamity Hound and used the Radiance Irradiation Technique to mutate it, then decided to replace the Chaos Virus rather than cure it.
• Ansu and Luo Xiaohei combined rabies virus from the Blood Redemption Holy Sword with the plague hound’s blood, using intense Radiance Irradiation to force the strains to evolve.
• Ansu created the Holy Water Rabies Virus, which caused infected creatures to reject ordinary liquids and consume only Holy Water.
• The Druids realized that the virus would be manageable for ordinary people but disastrous for Dark Creatures, which would weaken as they relied on Holy Water.

During his Druid exam, Ansu created Holy Water Rabies but needed a blood-transmitted Plague Apostle to spread it. He summoned a creature he called a Fallen Angel, and the ritual ended with the arrival of a mosquito.

• Ansu impressed the Druid Sorcerers by creating Holy Water Rabies, though Bishop Noah said it could not spread widely without a suitable Plague Apostle.
• Ansu proposed using vampire blood as a template and began modifying Bishop Morgan's Angel Summoning Array into a ritual for a weakened vampire.
• Ansu assembled the summoning array, used the Blood Redemption sword as the primary sacrifice, and called upon a Fallen Angel with intense emotion and memories.
• The summoning ritual produced no visible creature, but a buzzing sound revealed that Ansu had summoned a mosquito.

He then summoned the even more cursed Flower Fairy, while the Mother God of Calamity’s gaze descended upon a distant Plague Holy See district.

• Ansu summoned the Fallen Angel, and Luo Xiaohei mocked it before its invisible, inaudible bites left her covered in itchy red bumps.
• Bishop Noah ordered the Druids to inspect the Fallen Angel, and they discovered its rapid reproduction and ability to carry nearly every calamity.
• Ansu replaced the altar’s offering with flowers and summoned the Flower Fairy, intending to use it to bite Princess Cersei.
• Bishop Noah recognized the Flower Fairy as even more cursed than the Fallen Angel, while Luo Xiaohei surrendered to avoid being bitten again.
• The Mother God of Calamity’s gaze descended upon a district of the Avad Theocracy’s Plague Holy See.

Ansu mutated the Flower Fairy and Fallen Angel into year-round plague carriers, then devised a mass-production blitzkrieg against the Chaos Kingdom. He completed Mission One by making a mosquito-repelling potion named Seven Gods Flower Dew Water.

• Ansu altered the Flower Fairy and Fallen Angel with Radiance, imprinting his day-and-night attack strategy into their bloodlines and giving them cold resistance.
• Ansu outlined a plan to mass-produce the apostles, infect the Plague Forest and Chaos Empire, and bombard Chaos Creatures with their bites.
• Ansu had the apostles absorb the Holy Water Hydrophobia Virus, making them carriers who would spread it through blood.
• Ansu reasoned that he needed to defend against mosquitoes rather than develop a viral vaccine, then extracted floral oil and combined it with holy water and alcohol.

• Luo Xiaohei tried to seize Ansu’s Seven Gods Flower Dew Water, then tested it on her itchy bumps and enjoyed its soothing effect before Ansu took the bottle back.
• The Astral World generated a long-term projection in which the Flower Fairy and Fallen Angel multiplied into hundreds of millions of Calamity Apostles and launched an attack on the Chaos Kingdom.
• Holy Water Hydrophobia spread through the Chaos forces, while Ansu’s flower-scented potion protected orthodox soldiers and holy-water sales enriched the Holy See.
• The invasion weakened the Chaos Kingdom, drove citizens into holy-water addictions and new factions, and began the Mosquito Underworld Era.
• The Druid Room awarded Ansu an SS+ world impact, and Bishop Noah saw that Crow Doctors would later become Mosquito Doctors.
