Chapter Summaries

Yinsen and Imhotep fought to prove their strength and secure Imhotep’s respect, while Yinsen’s companions watched safely from the Mirror Dimension. Yinsen unleashed a barrage of fire from the air, and the battle was still underway.

• Imhotep attacked Yinsen and his companions with sand, but Yinsen blocked the assault with a Mirror Wall and transported himself and Imhotep outside.
• Yinsen sent Logan, Ada, Evelyn, Jonathan, and O'Connell into the Mirror Dimension with the Scriptures so they would remain safe and out of the fight.
• Imhotep decided to demonstrate his power and summoned a massive Sand Wave against Yinsen.
• Yinsen used the surrounding energy to create a Fire Tornado that swept the sand aside, then formed a flaming spear and Fire Wings.
• Yinsen fired Flame Feathers at Imhotep, causing explosions around him.

Yinsen overwhelmed Imhotep with powerful fire magic and prepared a lightning attack, forcing him to surrender. As Imhotep begged for forgiveness, Yinsen struggled to control the ruthless impulses stirred by his newfound strength.

• Yinsen bombarded Imhotep with Flame Feathers, then launched a blazing javelin that devastated the ground and left Imhotep badly weakened.
• The people watching from the Mirror Dimension were stunned by Yinsen’s power, while the blast knocked Medjai fighters away and burned some of them.
• Yinsen recognized that Imhotep’s Life Force had been badly damaged and prepared a storm of lightning when Imhotep tried to attack again.
• Imhotep stopped fighting and bowed to Yinsen, who wrestled with the temptation to use his strength without restraint.
• Convinced Yinsen remained enraged, Imhotep knelt and offered everything in exchange for forgiveness.

After defeating Imhotep, Yinsen accepted him as a subordinate and offered to help resurrect Anck-Su-Namun in exchange for resolving his problems. When Ardeth Bay approached to negotiate on the Medjai’s behalf, Yinsen refused to speak with him.

• Yinsen ordered the defeated Imhotep to rise and made clear that he expected him to honor his promise.
• Ardeth Bay decided not to attack Yinsen and approached to discuss whether the Medjai could reach an understanding with him.
• Yinsen gave Imhotep Spring Water of Life, restoring him to human form, and dispelled the Mirror Dimension to reunite with Ada, Logan, and the others.
• Imhotep pledged to carry out Yinsen’s commands, and Yinsen offered to help resurrect Anck-Su-Namun if Imhotep resolved his problems.
• Ardeth Bay asked Yinsen to speak with him, but Yinsen decisively refused.

Yinsen returned to Hamunaptra with Imhotep and began studying Ancient Egyptian Magic to understand soul summoning and resurrection. Imhotep explained that resurrection involved the authority of the underworld, leaving Yinsen to investigate how its restraints could be avoided before helping him restore Anck-Su-Namun.

• Yinsen dismissed Ad-Bey’s attempt to negotiate, warned him that he did not intend to destroy the world, and took Imhotep and the others through a portal back to Hamunaptra.
• Imhotep questioned why Yinsen would help resurrect Anck-Su-Namun, and Yinsen repeated that Imhotep first had to answer his questions about souls and resurrection.
• Yinsen considered whether Anck-Su-Namun’s soul remained in the underworld or had been divided through reincarnation, and whether Imhotep’s own soul was incomplete.
• Evelyn studied Hamunaptra, O’Connell and Jonathan collected portable valuables, Logan packed gold, and Ada explored the surroundings while Yinsen studied magic with Imhotep.
• Imhotep explained that he understood the spells in the Book of the Dead and the Book of Amun-Ra but could not resurrect Anck-Su-Namun without the necessary power and authority.
• Yinsen concluded that the underworld closely guarded summoned souls and that he needed to find a way to retrieve one without leaving restraints behind.

After months of studying Imhotep’s knowledge, Yinsen remained unable to free resurrection from the gods’ control, but he decided to test his own magic on Anck-Su-Namun. He gathered his companions close and prepared to summon her soul without the god of death’s permission, ready to flee if the gamble went wrong.

• Yinsen reflected on the limits of his resurrection magic while Ada returned from checking on the Medjai, who still guarded the area around Hamunaptra.
• Yinsen told Ada he planned to leave Hamunaptra after helping Imhotep resurrect Anck-Su-Namun.
• Yinsen met Imhotep and kept his promise to help resurrect Anck-Su-Namun, prompting Imhotep to lead him to the prepared Stone Chamber.
• Imhotep urged Yinsen to prepare a sacrifice, but Yinsen chose to summon Anck-Su-Namun’s soul directly with his own magic instead.
• Yinsen signaled Logan and the others to gather near him so he could activate the Teleportation Magic Array and escape if the ritual went wrong.

Yinsen escaped Anubis after summoning Anck-Su-Namun’s soul, but Death Energy destroyed his right forearm and forced him to flee with several people from Mummy World. He brought Anck-Su-Namun’s soul and body to the Goddess of Dawn and prepared to resurrect her, while deciding what to do with the unexpected passengers.

• Yinsen returned to the Captain's Cabin after Anubis attacked him, and Loki severed his corrupted right forearm to stop the Death Energy from spreading.
• Yinsen told Loki and the others that he had angered Anubis while summoning Anck-Su-Namun’s soul, and he explained that the Holy Light Cross could shelter the dead.
• Yinsen opened the Holy Light Cross and brought Anck-Su-Namun’s soul before Imhotep, who learned that his magic no longer worked outside his world.
• Yinsen assured Imhotep that Anck-Su-Namun could be resurrected using her soul, her original body, and the Spring of Life.
• Yinsen recognized that Evelyn, Jonathan, O'Connell, and others had been caught up in his escape, and accepted responsibility for deciding whether they would stay aboard or travel elsewhere.

Yinsen settled O'Connell, Evelyn, Jonathan, Imhotep, and Anck-Su-Namun aboard the Goddess of Dawn, while explaining that Imhotep's unstable resurrection would eventually end in death. As the newcomers joined the ship's lively dinner, Yinsen contained the Death Energy in his severed arm and reflected on how much he welcomed the company.

• Yinsen told O'Connell, Evelyn, and Jonathan that they could not return to their world until Anubis was defeated, and Logan showed them around the Goddess of Dawn.
• Yinsen warned Imhotep that his curse would fade outside Mummy World and kill him, then agreed to help save him after Imhotep offered his loyalty.
• Evelyn, O'Connell, and Jonathan chose rooms and received clothes, while the group gathered for dinner aboard the ship.
• Evelyn questioned Loki after Yinsen introduced him as Loki from Norse Mythology, and Loki grew frustrated with her questions.
• Yinsen wrapped his severed arm in rune-covered bandages to contain the Death Energy, while Ada cut his food and teased him about being disabled.

Yinsen explained the Ocean World and his plans to cross the Stormy Seas and reach the Endless Land among the stars. Inspired by the prospect of seeing legendary history, Evelyn chose to stay aboard the Goddess of Dawn, and Jonathan and O'Connell would remain with her.

• O'Connell joined Yinsen on deck, and Yinsen explained the Ocean World to him, Evelyn, and Jonathan as the crew gathered around.
• Yinsen described the Stormy Seas and the Sea of Miracles, then revealed that the Endless Land was among the stars.
• Annette questioned how they could leave the Ocean World and survive space travel, and Yinsen assured her that he could solve those problems.
• Evelyn asked about ancient worlds, and Yinsen told her he had visited Camelot during King Arthur's time.
• Evelyn decided to stay on the Goddess of Dawn until she could return to her own world, and Yinsen accepted her choice.

Yinsen used the Death Energy from Anubis’s gift to stabilize and expand the Holy Light Cross’s small world, giving Marvin a more comfortable place to live and balancing Holy Light with Negative Energy. Seeing the cross could sustain itself and potentially produce angels, Yinsen imagined commanding an army of a million in future battles.

• Yinsen studied the Death Energy and concluded it could balance the extreme Holy Light within his cross.
• Yinsen chose to inject the limited Death Energy into the Holy Light Cross rather than use it to master Holy Light himself.
• The Death Energy created vast black earth in the cross’s small world, while Holy Light condensed into a gentler sun.
• Marvin explored the changed world, felt more comfortable there, and mistook the improvement for God’s grace.
• Yinsen realized Marvin’s soul helped the opposing energies coexist and began planning to create angels, including Archangels commanded by devout souls.

Yinsen discussed his recovery and plans with Logan, who urged him to stop rushing from one problem to the next. Yinsen agreed to rest at sea for a while, but realized he still had obligations and people to visit, including Diana and Arthur.

• Logan visited Yinsen in the workshop and asked about his injury and the energy he had transferred into his Holy Light Cross.
• Yinsen told Logan he would recover naturally and planned to rest at sea rather than immediately travel to the Caribbean World.
• Logan warned Yinsen that new problems would keep appearing and urged him to move forward at a normal pace.
• Yinsen considered unresolved matters involving Odin, The Ancient One, Thanos, the Tesseract, and Steppenwolf.
• Yinsen decided he should visit Diana and Arthur, while Logan joked that Diana might react badly to the women who had joined the ship.

After Yinsen resurrected Imhotep as a fully living human, Imhotep and Anck-Su-Namun pledged themselves to him as Divine Servants. The Goddess of Dawn returned to its peaceful routine, ending with Yinsen relaxing on deck as the others enjoyed the sun and sea.

• After two months aboard the Goddess of Dawn, Imhotep's Life Force drained away and he reverted to a mummy.
• Yinsen used a prepared Magic Array and the Holy Light Cross to restore Imhotep's soul and body, bringing him back to life without his Undying Body or the shackles on his soul.
• Imhotep pledged loyalty to Yinsen, and Anck-Su-Namun also chose to become his believer and Divine Servant.
• Yinsen accepted the title of Divine Servant for Imhotep and Anck-Su-Namun, though they were too weak to do more than accompany him.
• O'Connell and Jonathan enjoyed the ship's leisurely life while Yinsen read on the Poop Deck as the women sunbathed.
• When Yinsen teased the women about a tip for fetching juice with Mage Hand, one tossed him a piece of gold from Hamunaptra.

Yinsen enjoyed a stop at a Floating Island with Ada and the others, then explained that he was preparing to travel between worlds before returning to the Southern Sea Route. He planned to retrieve Prinz Eugen, confront Beckford, and head for the Sea of Miracles.

• Yinsen examined his healed right hand and discussed with Ada how it had not changed after contact with Anubis's power of death.
• Yinsen and Ada watched Evelyn, O'Connell, and the others go ashore on a Floating Island, while Ada remained wary of its dangers.
• Logan and Selene returned from scouting, and Logan brought back a strange animal that the group cooked at their camp.
• Yinsen explained that they would not gather supplies because he needed to visit several worlds and settle urgent matters before facing an enemy.
• Yinsen learned from guild messages that the Southern Sea Route was about to become a battlefield between the guild's Combined Fleet and Beckford, and planned to retrieve Prinz Eugen, defeat Beckford, and sail to the Sea of Miracles.

Yinsen left Floating Island after its first tremor and returned to the Caribbean World to seek Blackbeard and learn his ship-bottling Dark Magic. He arrived near Port Royal at what seemed to be a similar time as on his previous visit and planned to find Jack Sparrow.

• Yinsen gathered fruit and water on Floating Island, then led everyone away when the island first trembled.
• A three-day storm badly affected Evelyn and the other newcomers, and Evelyn decided not to join Yinsen's next trip.
• Logan, Ada, and the others declined to accompany Yinsen, so he traveled alone through the Space-Time Magic Array.
• Yinsen arrived at the same familiar location near Port Royal and saw that the town had changed little since his last visit.
• Yinsen decided to look for Jack Sparrow to help him track down Blackbeard, hoping Jack still had the Black Pearl.

Yinsen returned to Port Royal and learned that Lord Beckett had arrested Elizabeth and removed Governor Swann from power, partly using Swann’s past dealings with Yinsen as grounds for his charges. Yinsen realized Beckett was using Elizabeth and Swann to pressure Will into capturing Jack Sparrow, and began deciding how to intervene.

• Yinsen arrived in Port Royal and visited Governor Swann, where he found Swann under house arrest and Will Turner with him.
• Governor Swann explained that Lord Beckett had seized control of Port Royal and arrested Elizabeth for colluding with Jack Sparrow, while Will had avoided arrest.
• Swann told Yinsen that Beckett had also accused him of cooperating with a person of unknown identity, referring to Yinsen’s earlier visit and the naval operation against pirates.
• Yinsen concluded that Beckett was using Elizabeth and Swann as leverage to make Will capture Jack and expected Beckett to come see him.
• Yinsen reassured Swann and asked Will what he planned to do, recognizing that the young blacksmith had no idea how to save Elizabeth.

Yinsen refused to let Weatherby Swann and Will Turner face Lord Beckett’s accusations alone, but Beckett arrived with armed soldiers and ordered Yinsen seized. Yinsen revealed his extraordinary power by scattering the soldiers and stopping a falling chandelier, leaving Beckett unharmed but stunned.

• Weatherby Swann feared that Yinsen’s admission that he was not British would confirm the charge of colluding with enemy spies, while Yinsen promised Elizabeth would be safe.
• Will Turner proposed rescuing Elizabeth from prison, but Yinsen said Lord Beckett would personally send her back and called out to him.
• Lord Beckett entered the drawing room with musketeers, and Yinsen openly said he was not British before warning Swann that Beckett intended to use Elizabeth to control Will.
• Lord Beckett ordered his soldiers to seize Yinsen, who released a blue ripple that knocked the soldiers off balance and sent their gunfire into the ceiling.
• A bullet struck the chandelier above Yinsen, but he stopped it with blue energy and flung it into the soldiers as Lord Beckett watched unharmed.

Yinsen revealed his angelic power to stop Lord Beckett from arresting him and forced him to release Elizabeth and compensate Governor Swann. After Elizabeth returned home, she thanked Yinsen, who left the Swanns free to remain in Port Royal.

• When Lord Beckett's soldiers moved against Yinsen, he displayed glowing wings, causing the Port Royal soldiers to kneel while Lord Beckett begged for forgiveness.
• Yinsen demanded Elizabeth's release, and Lord Beckett ordered her brought back safely and agreed to comply.
• Yinsen told Lord Beckett to compensate Governor Swann, and Beckett led his soldiers away from the residence.
• Elizabeth returned home, recognized that Yinsen had frightened Beckett into releasing her, and thanked him.
• Yinsen explained that he had come to visit and rescued Elizabeth after learning she had been imprisoned, while his intervention also protected Weatherby Swann's position as governor.

Yinsen agreed to take Elizabeth and Will to find Jack, using teleportation magic instead of a ship. Before they left, he gave Weatherby Swann an amulet that could protect him and teleport him to safety.

• Governor Swann objected to Elizabeth joining Yinsen to find Jack, but Yinsen explained that Jack was more an adventurer than an ordinary pirate.
• Yinsen revealed that the amulets he had given Elizabeth and Will could help him locate them and teleport to their location.
• Yinsen invited Will to come along, partly so he could watch over Elizabeth and partly because Yinsen still owed Jack help with Davy Jones.
• Yinsen gave Weatherby Swann an amulet that would alert him to danger and teleport him to safety.
• Elizabeth returned with her clothes, weapons, and luggage ready, and Yinsen teleported her and Will toward Jack.

Yinsen teleported to the Black Pearl with Elizabeth and Will, then promised to help Jack Sparrow with his Davy Jones problem in exchange for Jack helping him find Blackbeard. Jack’s compass pointed toward Blackbeard, and Yinsen suggested they set sail after cleaning the ship.

• Yinsen teleported with Elizabeth and Will to the Black Pearl, where the pirates were startled and Jack soon appeared with Gibbs.
• Jack greeted Elizabeth and learned that Will was her fiancé, then relaxed when he realized Yinsen had come to help him.
• Yinsen and Jack renewed their deal: Yinsen would solve Jack’s Davy Jones problem, and Jack would help Yinsen find Blackbeard.
• Jack told Gibbs and Elizabeth about his promise to Davy Jones, and Yinsen proposed finding Blackbeard before dealing with Davy Jones.
• Jack tried his compass and found that it pointed toward Blackbeard, while Yinsen said the Black Pearl needed a thorough cleaning before they sailed.

Jack and Yinsen took the Black Pearl from Tortuga across the Atlantic to pursue Blackbeard, finally catching up with the Queen Anne's Revenge near the Strait of Gibraltar. Yinsen flew onto Blackbeard's ship and confronted him as the pirates aimed their muskets.

• Jack had the Black Pearl resupplied and refitted at Tortuga, keeping only a small crew of capable sailors.
• After the Black Pearl left port, Yinsen used magic to clean the ship, astonishing Jack and making him realize Yinsen's power had grown.
• Jack followed his compass across the Atlantic, but Blackbeard's changing course toward the Mediterranean forced the Black Pearl to take a long detour.
• The Black Pearl caught up with Blackbeard's Queen Anne's Revenge near the Strait of Gibraltar.
• Yinsen flew onto the Queen Anne's Revenge before Blackbeard's pirates could fire and asked whether he was Edward Teach.

Yinsen confronted Blackbeard and demanded the Dark Magic spell that stored ships in bottles. After Blackbeard surrendered, Yinsen destroyed Queen Anne's Revenge, extracted the spell from his soul, and returned to the Black Pearl.

• Yinsen introduced himself to Blackbeard and demanded the ship-bottling Dark Magic spell.
• When Blackbeard tried to resist, Yinsen used a control spell to restrain and hurt his left hand.
