• Angel confirmed that her Affliction Potion had digested and found the pitch-black mirror fragment from the dream in her coat pocket.

Angel recovered from her dream and returned to the Future, where Frank’s runaway experiments triggered a string of disasters. After Angel and Cattleya helped contain the danger, a corpse giant attacked the ship, and Ludwell’s Black Tulip arrived as a new threat.

• Angel used Magic Mirror Divination on the mirror fragment, saw her sleeping reflection, then rested until her spirituality recovered.
• Angel discovered that Frank’s experimental substance had spread across the Future, making milk spray from the ship and its equipment.
• Frank’s attempt to absorb the milk with vines went out of control, and Cattleya burned the plants away after warning that Earth Mother’s aura remained nearby.
• A giant hand made of corpses struck the deck, but Anderson tackled Frank clear of its impact; the creature then emerged from the sea and released poisonous mist.
• Angel used Gale Control to clear the mist while Cattleya activated the Future’s shield, and Klein warned that they were in trouble when Hell Admiral Ludwell’s Black Tulip approached.

The Future's crew fought off a corpse bone giant as Klein stole its toxic mist ability and Angel and Anderson helped bring it down. The Black Tulip then attacked, sending Klein toward the enemy ship while Angel prepared to counter the monsters swarming the Future.

• Angel spread Frank’s bacteria-based toxin through Disease, killing the black monsters and ending their attack on the Future.
• Klein used Azik’s Bronze Whistle to draw the undead away from the Future, leaving Ludwell without his crew.
• Angel launched Anderson toward the Black Tulip, and the two joined Klein in fighting Ludwell beside the Bronze Gate.
• Ludwell used his ring and mask to enlarge the gate, drawing the Black Tulip into it as Anderson jumped into the sea and Klein retrieved his whistle.
• Angel threw the Calamity Charm onto the Black Tulip and jumped overboard; the portion of the ship still outside the gate collapsed as if it had aged a thousand years.

After the Future escaped the God War Ruins’ sea, Klein prepared and drank the Marionettist potion while Angel and the crew watched. He survived the transformation and gained the Marionettist’s vision of the invisible threads connecting people and things.

• Angel, Klein, and Anderson escaped the collapsing Black Tulip as the Future’s pirates fired on the uncontrolled undead, and the crew celebrated Angel and Klein as heroes.

• Klein prepared the Marionettist potion from the purified Beyonder Characteristic and Sonia Island’s Golden Spring Water, then took it as mermaid songs stirred the crew.

• Frank gave Angel a sealed bottle of poison, and she accepted it as a useful Auxiliary Material for her Despair potion.
• Klein completed the transformation without losing control, saw the threads extending from Angel and everything around him, and recognized himself as a Marionettist.

Klein explained his Marionettist abilities to Angel and let her experience Spirit Body Thread control so they could assess its dangers and agree on a way to recognize him. As the Future left the God War Ruins, Angel reviewed the expedition and entered a dream where Anderson's confidence in escaping his bad luck was immediately shattered.

• Angel volunteered to test the ability, sensed Klein manipulating her threads, and escaped his control with Flaming Jump after her thoughts and movements slowed.

• The Future headed out of the sea region, while Angel reviewed her combat lessons, bounty, potion ingredients, and plans for Sequence 4.
• Angel dreamed of the Black Monastery, saw Cattleya and Anderson there, and watched Anderson's reclining chair break beneath him as he claimed his bad luck would end.

In the dream, Angel witnessed the Saint of Darkness Leomaster being chased by his kind mirror image and learned that mirror images in the ruins split people in reality. After the Future escaped the strange waters, Angel told Klein she was leaving for a few days.

• Angel negotiated with Anderson over the Sequence 6 Conspirer formula, but they paused when a black-haired man fled into the mural hall pursued by a black-armored warrior.
• Angel followed the chase and watched the black-haired man recite an Honorific Name toward the Giant King's Court, but no passage opened before vines separated the pursuer and his quarry.

• Bernadette and Angel boarded the Ghost Ship as it vanished from the sea and entered the Spirit World.
• Anne embraced Bernadette and formed an invisible barrier so they could speak privately.
• Angel spotted her messenger Wensa approaching the ship and stopped Anne from mistaking the messenger for a threat.
• Angel opened Wensa’s letter and read that Katerina Pelle had sent it.

Angel received a warning and a Potion ingredient lead from Katerina Pelle, then secured Anne’s help and learned that the island near Para Island carried an aura like the Calamity Charm. The chapter ended with Angel considering the mysterious power behind the Charm and the dangers posed by the Rose School.

• Angel read Katerina Pelle’s letter, which reaffirmed her agreement with Azik, warned of the Demoness Sect and Rose School, and revealed a Beyonder Creature’s location near Para Island.
• Angel wondered why Katerina had helped her and whether the Demoness Sect and Rose School were planning attacks against her and Klein.

After surviving a dangerous fall from the Queen Anne's Revenge, Angel found an abandoned village and uncovered a blood-producing sacrificial ritual site connected to the same source as the Bansy ritual.

• Bernadette told Angel that the key to her promotion lay on the island where she had found the Calamity Charm, then offered to take her there.
• Anne brought the Queen Anne's Revenge above Sona Island and let it plunge toward the ground before vanishing with Bernadette, leaving Angel to land safely with Feather Fall.
• Angel used her Magic Mirror to divine the location of an anomaly, then discovered that the nearby plantation village had been abandoned and its residents buried.
• Angel found a hidden chamber beneath the mill where a crude machine processed blood, along with ritual marks resembling those from Bansy Harbor.
• Angel recognized that the ritual might transport her to the Underground Catacombs in Trier or another strange place, chose not to test it, and recited Mr. Fool's Honorific Name.

Angel prepared to use a Sacrificial Ritual and warned Gehrman Sparrow about the Rose School before the ritual transported her to an unknown, bloodstained place. As she explored, the Hidden Holy Emblem began to feel as if it were struggling to protect her, and lightning plunged everything into profound darkness.

• Angel summoned Reinette Tinekerr and sent Gehrman a warning about the Rose School and her plan to use a Sacrificial Ritual.
• Klein received Reinette's message and Angel's more detailed report through the Gray Fog, then heard Angel ask him to relay a message to Miss Empress.

• The Hidden Holy Emblem on Angel's wrist turned cold and seemed to struggle to protect her as lightning flashed and darkness swallowed everything.

Angel realized she had reached the Forsaken Land of the Gods, then discovered through a prayer relayed by Mr. Fool that another version of herself had just returned to Sona Island. As Black-Striped Shadow Scorpions attacked, Angel used Anne’s blood and concentrated light to drive one into the open, then began poisoning it.

• Angel explored the ruined village and found a pit filled with the remains of unusually tall, headless skeletons, strengthening her suspicion that she was in the Forsaken Land of the Gods.
• Angel recalled Katarina’s information and Bernadette’s prophecy, then decided to return through the ritual and seek another way forward.
• Angel prayed to Mr. Fool and saw a message from the other Angel, who warned her that Black-Striped Shadow Scorpions were nearby and advised her to use Anne’s blood against them.
• Angel fired a Phantom Phosphor Eruption round, illuminating the street and burning the lesser shadow monsters while revealing a Black-Striped Shadow Scorpion charging at her.
• Angel used Anne’s blood to drive back the darkness and intensify the light, then fired again and began attacking the scorpion with a deadly poison.

Angel fought the Black-Striped Shadow Scorpion, overcoming its disease, shadow abilities, and corrupting Mythical Creature Form through a series of close calls. After defeating it, she recovered from her wounds and corruption, but was left with hunger and a craving for flesh.

• The Black-Striped Shadow Scorpion destroyed Angel's decoy, infected her with disease, and charged, but Angel replaced the lethal pathogens in her body and attacked with Phantom Phosphor Eruption.
• Angel blasted off the scorpion's right pincer with Storm Convergence, but its incomplete Mythical Creature Form overwhelmed her mind and let it seize her apparent body, which proved to be a Wooden Staff.
• Angel plunged into the scorpion's shadow and drove the Bone Sword through its shell while it crushed her waist and sprayed her with venom.
• Angel used Mirror Substitution to escape being torn apart, then unleashed Black Flame through the Sword of Dawn and killed the scorpion.
• Angel purged the venom and used the Rose Necklace to heal her wounds and contain the physical changes caused by corruption, but she was left hungry and craving flesh.

Angel killed the Black-Striped Shadow Scorpion and recovered a main ingredient for the Despair Potion, but became stranded in the Forsaken Land of the Gods after the village disappeared. Guided back by Bernadette’s golden hair, she found an altar bearing the names Medici, Ouroboros, and Rose Redemption before returning to Sona Island.

• Angel removed the scorpion’s poison sac and realized Shadow Lurking had carried her far from the village in the Forsaken Land of the Gods.
• Angel used the golden hair Bernadette had given her to find the abandoned village and retrieve her Good Luck revolver and Anne’s Blood.
• Angel returned to the underground altar and used her blood on its symbols, noticing the names Red Angel Medici and Ouroboros as she was transported away.
• The altar’s inscription revealed the name Rose Redemption after Angel vanished.
• A hunched man emerged from a shadow, swallowed the blood-soaked dirt near the scorpion, and disappeared back into the darkness.

After escaping the Forsaken Land of the Gods, Angel spoke with the Fool about Ouroboros, her time in the darkness, and the clues linking Sona Island to Rose Redemption. She left for Bayam with a key ingredient for her Sequence 4 potion, while rumors about her and Gehrman Sparrow followed her to the ship.

• Angel burned the chamber beneath the Flesh Mill to erase traces of her visit, then escaped to Sona Island and used the Fool to pass her survival strategy back to herself.
• At the Tarot Club palace, Angel recounted her discoveries, and the Fool assured her that Ouroboros had left no mark on her and pointed her toward information about Rose Redemption.
• Klein wondered whether he could verify Ouroboros’s influence by contacting Will Auceptin, while Angel left the palace and traveled to Sona Island’s port.
• Angel ate a full meal to satisfy the Rose Necklace’s side effect, reviewed her discoveries, and decided to return to Bayam to obtain materials for new bullets.
• While boarding a ship for Midway Island, Angel heard rumors about Gehrman Sparrow and tore down her own wanted poster, replacing it with Cattleya’s.

The crew of the Golden Dream discovered that Edwina had vanished from her locked cabin and called for Gehrman Sparrow’s help. At the Tarot Club, Azure confessed that Bernadette had learned of the Fool, and the Fool began punishing Cattleya for her role in the leak.

• The Golden Dream’s crew found Edwina’s cabin empty, and Yodsen’s divinations only confirmed that she was alive.
• Danitz called out Gehrman Sparrow after the crew debated how to find their missing captain.
• Azure told the Fool that Bernadette knew about him and had offered a complete volume of Roselle’s diaries in exchange for help interpreting them.
• The Fool told Azure that Bernadette could pay for answers but could not obtain the full interpretation method, then warned her not to reveal more.
• The Fool identified Bernadette as Roselle’s eldest daughter and owner of the Dawn, and Cattleya admitted her mistake and accepted whatever punishment he chose.
• The Fool’s punishment caused Cattleya to collapse into her chair and scream as the Tarot Club members watched.

The Tarot Club witnessed Mr. Fool punish Cattleya for prying, then traded for Potion materials and discussed killing an Aurora Order Oracle. Derrick began describing his visit to Afternoon Town as the gathering moved into its free exchange segment.

• Mr. Fool redirected the True Creator’s polluted ravings onto Cattleya, then stopped her suffering; the other Tarot Club members reacted with shock and fear.
• Audrey sought materials for her Hypnotist Potion, and Cattleya offered to obtain Black Hunting Giant Lizard spinal fluid; Fors also requested materials for her Astrologer Potion.
• Derrick confirmed he could exchange merit for Angel’s needed Poison Needle, and Klein said World could trade him the Notary formula the next day.
• Fors asked the Tarot Club to help kill Aurora Order Oracle Louis Wayne, and Alger suggested reporting him to the authorities.
• Derrick began recounting how he had arrived at Afternoon Town under the Chief’s leadership.

Derrick recounted the catastrophe that destroyed Afternoon Town, prompting the Tarot Club to debate the unnamed powers behind it while Angel considered links to the corruption on Sona Island. After Angel received a cryptic warning from Wensa and a letter saying the Iceberg Admiral had gone missing, Klein and Anderson waited inside a sea creature near Bayam and met Angelica Zaki.

• Derrick described clearing Afternoon Town, finding an altar inscribed with the names of three King of Angels and being transported to a dark version of the town after reading them aloud.
• Derrick recounted how a clergyman blamed an unspeakable existence for corrupting Sastiel and other King of Angels before a blazing flame killed him as he tried to name a fourth.
• Audrey asked who had tempted Sastiel and whom the fourth name represented, and Klein answered that the matter was secret while Hanged Man speculated about true Gods.
• Angel returned to her cabin, put away a Charm made with the new rune, and questioned Wensa about Katerina Pelle before opening Klein's letter and learning that the Iceberg Admiral had gone missing.
• Klein and Anderson waited inside a sea creature near Bayam until it opened its mouth and revealed Angelica Zaki.

Angel, Klein, and Anderson reached the Golden Dream to investigate Iceberg Admiral Edwina’s disappearance. Angel discovered that Edwina’s research may have involved The Travels of Grosell, while Klein prepared to seek help and Anderson stirred up the crew.

• Angel learned that Anderson had hired Klein to remove the Misfortune Ouroboros had placed on him.
• Angel, Klein, and Anderson boarded the Golden Dream, where Danitz recognized Anderson and revealed that he and Edwina had been classmates.
• First Mate Blue the Gourmet explained that Edwina had entered her cabin to research three days earlier and had not come out.
• Angel found that two more pages of The Travels of Grosell had become readable, describing a lost pirate woman who joined Grosell’s party.
• Klein asked Angel to prepare ritual supplies so he could seek help from a hidden existence, and Angel left the cabin with the other Sailors.
• While Angel changed clothes, Anderson suggested that the crew should be more wary of Gehrman Sparrow, prompting Danitz and the others to nod.

Klein confirmed that Edwina had been drawn into The Travels of Grosell and sent Danitz and Anderson inside to test the book. Angel and Klein then entered together to rescue Edwina, but Klein arrived in a frozen wilderness alone, with no sign of Angel or the others.

• Angel used her Instigation ability to turn the Golden Dream's sailors against Anderson, while Anderson tried to make them distrust Gehrman.
• Klein confirmed through divination that Edwina was inside The Travels of Grosell and sent Danitz into the book as an assistant.
• Klein announced that he would attempt to rescue Edwina, and Angel secured the captain's cabin while he prepared.
