Chapter Summaries

Angel awakened as Boluoye and the Inspector investigated a huge Void Traveler carrying Spotty Dog, while Boluoye’s reinforcements began opening a spatial rift. The Mystic Fruit fully matured before the passage stabilized, but the expected surge in Disorderly Rhythm did not occur, leaving the Inspector confused.

• Boluoye and the Inspector saw a giant Void Traveler hiding behind Angel, with Spotty Dog repeatedly passing out inside its body, and guessed it was Angel’s escape route.
• Angel awakened, explained that his comprehension had become too complex to contain, and identified himself as Angel Pat when Boluoye questioned him.
• Boluoye announced that its reinforcements were arriving, and a spatial rift opened as Angel narrowly dodged it.
• The Inspector discovered that Angel did not know what had happened to his Domain Field and set aside the mystery to focus on escaping.
• The Mystic Fruit’s final shell fell away and the fruit matured, but the expected increase in Disorderly Rhythm did not happen.

No. 03 became the Mystic Fruit’s final sacrifice, causing the blood-red mist to fade as Gruzdaiwald arrived through the spatial rift. Boluoye revealed that Gruzdaiwald intended to take Angel captive, leaving the Inspector unable to protect him.

• No. 03 screamed before her body disintegrated into yellow lights that flowed into the Mystic Fruit, and the Inspector realized her death was the sacrifice needed for it to fall completely out of order.
• The spatial rift widened, revealing a Fire Luo youth whose Phantom Spirit Inscription identified him as Gruzdaiwald, Phantom City’s Lord.
• The Inspector and Boluoye discussed Gruzdaiwald’s arrival, and Boluoye said the city lord had come to take him away.
• Boluoye revealed that Gruzdaiwald had also chosen Angel as a captive because of his rare alchemical potential.
• The Inspector accepted that he could not stop Gruzdaiwald and told Angel at least he would not be killed.

Gruzdaiwald tested the Mystic Fruit’s disordering effect while Angel struggled to understand his precarious position and Spotty Dog remained apparently incapacitated. As No. 03 completed her sacrifice, her intact soul touched the fruit and received a surge of mysterious power.

• Angel relied on Spotty Dog as his hoped-for reinforcements, though he doubted the puppy’s apparent drowning act and considered becoming a tool in Phantom City if everything went wrong.
• Gruzdaiwald emerged through the stabilized spatial rift, then used Gas-Floating Walls to carry two wizards toward the Mystic Fruit and test its effects.
• Angel fell into a high-rank trap while watching Gruzdaiwald cast a spell, but the Inspector pulled him out and warned him not to mistake a glimpse of truth for genuine understanding.
• The Inspector and Boluoye observed that the Mystic Fruit’s attraction entranced the wizards but did not pull in Gas-Floating Walls, so Gruzdaiwald positioned the barriers above the fruit to test its disordering effect when it ripened.
• No. 03’s body, mind, and spirit were sacrificed, leaving her soul to rise toward the Mystic Fruit.
• No. 03’s intact soul touched the fruit, and mysterious power poured back into it.

No. 03’s soul fused with the Mystic Fruit and transformed into a Disorderly Spirit, triggering a vast mystic power that called living beings across the Devil Sea toward the Mist Belt. As people and extraordinary beings began moving toward the sea, Angel was left uncertain whether Wang Wang and the Spotty Dog could carry out their plan against Gruzdaiwald.

• The Mystic Fruit burrowed into No. 03’s soul, erased her consciousness, and spread blood-red mist through her body as the Inspector recognized that she was becoming part of a Disorderly Object.
• Angel recalled the Mystic Spirit from his past alchemy and identified No. 03’s changing soul as a Disorderly Spirit nearing its final transformation.
• Angel used Hyde Land to ask Wang Wang and the Spotty Dog about their plan, but their cryptic replies left him doubtful that they could capture Gruzdaiwald’s avatar.
• No. 03’s soul became completely saturated with red mist, releasing a wave of power that spread across the sea and drew living beings toward the Devil Sea.
• On Feran Continent, Bismarck watched harbor crowds walk into the water before the same call compelled him to head toward his own imagined sanctuary.
• Despite warnings from some high-ranking wizards, many extraordinary beings headed toward the coast of Prosperous Continent and flew toward the Devil Sea.

As No. 03’s blood-red soul formed near the Mystic Fruit, the attraction force grew until Sanders and his companions fled the Mist Belt. Inside the Distorted Domain, Gruzdaiwald struggled to maintain the Gas-Floating Wall as the soul dissolved, while Angel and Wang Wang considered striking during his exhaustion.

• Sanders detected the attraction force spreading from the Mist Belt, moved the Moonlight Tu Bird and its crew into the Gravity Garden, and escaped with Kant and Nis through a Planar Corridor.
• No. 03’s blood-red soul took shape, and its power rapidly consumed the Gas-Floating Wall’s energy.
• Gruzdaiwald suspected Angel’s Green Pattern Domain Field was shielding the group, but Angel truthfully denied blocking the attraction force.
• Gruzdaiwald replenished the Gas-Floating Wall’s energy, but the soul’s dissolving hands and feet drove the pulling force higher and left him near his limit.
• Angel signaled Wang Wang to consider acting against the exhausted Gruzdaiwald, and Wang Wang asked Spotty Dog whether it was time to strike.

The Spotty Dog escaped the Void Traveler, ignored the attraction affecting everyone else, and swallowed the Mystic Fruit along with the remaining Spirit of Disorder. It then approached the group with its mouth opening, while Gruzdaiwald began plotting to capture Angel and eventually obtain the dog.

• The Inspector stopped Boluoye from striking the Spotty Dog, then wondered why he felt compelled to protect it.
• The Spotty Dog avoided the Inspector's attempt to pet it and leaped into Angel's arms before focusing on the Mystic Fruit.
• The Spotty Dog walked through the Distorted Domain and Green Pattern Domain Field without being affected by the attraction.
• The Spotty Dog swallowed the Mystic Fruit and the remaining Spirit of Disorder, stunning everyone present.
• Gruzdaiwald decided he would abduct Angel later to get a chance to obtain the Spotty Dog, which then approached the group and slowly opened its mouth.

The Mystic Fruit’s attraction caused people across the Southern Region to walk toward the sea, but it vanished after three minutes. As Sanders and Feiluo learned that the danger had passed, Angel found himself swallowed again by Spotty Dog alongside the Inspectors and the others.

• Adelia and the Light-Chasing Speaker warned wizard organizations about the Mystic Fruit, while Deep Sea Song sent people into the Mist Belt and Savage Cave could not be contacted.
• The signal tower received reports that people near Shampoo Coast were being controlled and walking into the sea, and the Light-Chasing Speaker concluded the Mystic Fruit was responsible.
• The attraction vanished after three minutes, leaving Adelia and the Light-Chasing Speaker unable to explain what had happened to the fruit.
• Sanders released Feiluo from the Gravity Garden, and Feiluo reported that Liana had said the attraction reached the outside world before disappearing.
• Spotty Dog swallowed Gruzdaiwald, Boluoye, the Inspectors, Angel, Wang Wang, and the others, then began its return journey.
• Angel landed inside Spotty Dog’s stomach and hoped the experience might give him new insights.

Angel explored a void inside Spotty Dog and found a golden clock that pulled him inside when he touched it. The Observer, Boluoye, and Gruzdaiwald were trapped with a Mystic Fruit, while Spotty Dog kicked the Observer to a safer spot before disappearing.

• Angel used a Light Spell to explore a floating platform in Spotty Dog's belly, but could not contact the Void Network or locate Wang Wang.
• Angel spotted a distant light beneath the platform and crossed the vast void to discover a golden clock stopped at midnight.
• Angel touched the clock, causing its hands to turn backward and pull him into its golden light.
• The Observer, Boluoye, and Gruzdaiwald found themselves trapped in a sealed white chamber with their magic and law powers suppressed.
• Spotty Dog appeared and released a Mystic Fruit, forcing the three to resist its attraction inside the chamber.
• Spotty Dog kicked the Observer toward the chamber wall, where the Mystic Fruit's pull was weaker, then vanished.

Angel explored Spotty Dog’s Clock Forest and witnessed a past scene in which Time Thief considered visiting him after Angel chose to return to the Mist Belt. The vision ended when Angel met Time Thief’s gaze across time, and Time Thief recognized him.

• Angel emerged into Spotty Dog’s Clock Forest and discovered that every clock he touched was illusory.
• Angel followed the sound of ticking to a massive spired clock, where a past manifestation of Time Thief appeared.
• Time Thief drew Angel’s Clock of Destiny close and prepared to open its time-wheel door, but a prick drew Golden Blood from his fingertip and stopped him.
• Angel understood that the vision showed Time Thief reacting to his choice to return to the Mist Belt, but he remained unsure why Spotty Dog had shown it to him.
• Angel met the past Time Thief’s gaze as Spotty Dog barked, and Time Thief greeted him before the vision vanished.

Angel waited in the dark void for Spotty Dog and witnessed a golden drop of liquid descend from another dimension. He recognized it as the blood Time Thief had shed in Clock Forest, and it began to transform from an illusion into reality before him.

• Angel waited in the featureless void, consolidating his understanding of mystery and wondering about Inspector, Gruzdaiwald, and Boluoye.
• Inspector searched the White Chamber’s walls for an exit while Gruzdaiwald and Boluoye remained trapped near the Mystic Fruit; Boluoye lost a tentacle when it tested the fruit.
• Inspector realized Angel might have a connection to Spotty Dog and hoped to find him to learn how to escape.
• Angel heard a howl and saw a golden meteor descend through the void, which he recognized as a drop of Golden Blood shed by Time Thief.
• The Golden Blood stopped above Angel and began shifting from an illusory shadow into reality as its powerful aura emerged.

Angel absorbed profound spatial information when the Golden Blood became real, then discovered Wang Wang had swallowed the blood. After waiting ten hours, Angel learned Wang Wang had stored it in its inner space, High Sky, and asked it what had happened after Spotty Dog swallowed it.

• Angel gained enough spatial knowledge to believe he could reverse-engineer Mirror Space and wondered why he understood spatial abilities so easily.
• Angel tried to collect the Golden Blood in several bottles, then discovered through Energy Sight that Wang Wang had swallowed it.
• Angel questioned Wang Wang, who answered with gestures and an hourglass indicating it would be able to speak in about ten hours.
• After the wait, Angel saw that Wang Wang had turned golden and learned it had hidden the Golden Blood in High Sky, its inner space.
• Wang Wang explained that its abilities came from High Sky and that the blood's energy had prevented it from communicating; Angel asked what it had experienced after Spotty Dog swallowed it.

Wang Wang told Angel how Spotty Dog had kept him in a black room while Gruzdaiwald and Boluoye were weakened, and how he received the Golden Blood to safeguard for Lord Shava. Angel and Wang Wang returned to the black room, where Angel reunited with Spotty Dog and thanked it for its help.

• Wang Wang explained that Spotty Dog had confined Gruzdaiwald and Boluoye in a magic-suppressing white room and used the Mystic Fruit to wear down their vitality and will.
• Wang Wang said Angel had left him information instructing him to store the Golden Blood in his body, and Angel concluded that the blood was meant for him as Lord Shava.
• Angel told Wang Wang to keep the Golden Blood and asked to store dangerous items in Wang Wang's high sky, which Wang Wang reluctantly agreed to do in small amounts.
• Wang Wang used the black room's coordinates to take Angel there through space, and they found Spotty Dog waiting.
• Angel asked Spotty Dog whether it had arranged the events and given him the Golden Blood and spatial essence, then thanked it when it played dumb.

Angel stayed inside Spotty Dog instead of leaving and advised Wang Wang to enlist the Inspector's help in planning how to deal with Gruzdaiwald and Boluoye. Wang Wang opened a passage beneath the Inspector, who jumped through it and disappeared from the White Chamber.

• Angel saw the Inspector trapped near the edge of the White Chamber and learned that Gruzdaiwald and Boluoye were resisting the Mystic Fruit's pull.
• Angel warned Wang Wang that wearing down the captives and interrogating them would not provide a safe rescue plan, then suggested working with the Inspector.
• Wang Wang agreed to seek the Inspector's advice and asked Angel to approach him without revealing Wang Wang's unusual abilities.
• Wang Wang opened a passage from the White Chamber to Angel's room, and Spotty Dog made the room magic-forbidden while leaving some of Angel's abilities usable.
• A black hole appeared beneath the Inspector, and he jumped into it before it closed and became white flooring again.

The Inspector entered a banquet hall inside Spotty Dog and met Angel, who explained that Wang Wang had arranged his release from the White Chamber. The Inspector learned that Wang Wang wanted to form a partnership with him, but the partnership’s terms remained unknown.

• The Inspector followed the Block Soldiers into the banquet hall, where he found Angel, a Void Traveler, and Spotty Dog gathered around a table.
• The Inspector sat beside Angel and was served by a talking porcelain plate before Angel offered to answer his questions.
• Angel explained that the hall and the White Chamber were spaces created inside Spotty Dog’s belly, and that leaving required Spotty Dog’s consent.
• Angel claimed that Wang Wang had chosen him as a messenger and had ordered the Inspector’s release from the White Chamber.
• Angel told the Inspector that Wang Wang wanted to form a partnership with him, and the Inspector asked what kind of partnership it was.

Angel persuaded the Inspector to collaborate with Wang Wang on rescuing its kin from Phantom City, with the Inspector responsible for devising a plan rather than fighting. The Inspector withdrew to think over the available stakes, including several captives sealed by Spotty Dog.

• The Inspector explained that Phantom City contained Void Travelers, and Angel clarified that Wang Wang wanted help rescuing its companions without asking the Inspector to storm the city.
• Angel revealed that Wang Wang's plan was to question Gruzdaiwald and Boluoye in the White Chamber, while the Inspector agreed to devise a rescue strategy and signed a contract witnessed by Spotty Dog.
• Angel and the Inspector identified Boluoye, Gruzdaiwald's avatar and split consciousness, and Wang Wang's escape ability as key advantages, while Angel made clear he would not join the rescue.
• Spotty Dog gave Angel a sphere containing Deep Space and a Shiz Juvenile, which the Inspector recognized as a powerful single-use sealing item that could also contain their other targets.
• The Inspector went to a quiet room to consider the rescue plan and privately pondered Spotty Dog's nature and its relationship with Angel.

Angel relaxed inside Spotty Dog and entered the Dream Wilderness to check on Sanders, who told him that powerful Nightmare Realm creatures had escaped from the Star Pool Ruins. The black and white maidservants were missing, while Davaxia and Minavaro were confronting Lord Rhein and Iron Armor Granny.

• The black and white maidservants killed three Xingyueyun wizards on Sidro Island, and the black-robed bishop traced the calamity to Sleepless City and pursued them toward the Mist Belt with Saladin.
• The Observer prepared several plans for Wang Wang, while Angel chose not to learn about Phantom City's affairs and entered the Dream Wilderness to contact Sanders.
• Angel found Sanders waiting in a Magic Cottage, and Sanders told him that the Star Pool Ruins had erupted with powerful Nightmare Realm creatures.
• Sanders said Lord Rhein had returned to the ruins after the black and white maidservants escaped, and that Davaxia and Minavaro were confronting Lord Rhein and Iron Armor Granny.

Angel learned that Spotty Dog’s arrival had triggered the upheaval at the Star Pool Ruins, where Davaxia and Minavaro were driving wizards mad. He persuaded Spotty Dog to return to Heart’s Desire, then told the Inspector that their plans had changed because Spotty Dog’s departure would remove the White Chamber containing Gruzdaiwald’s avatar and consciousness fragment, and Boluoye.

• Sanders told Angel that Davaxia and Minavaro had invaded the Star Pool Ruins, where Minavaro’s influence was spreading madness among the wizards.
• Angel realized the upheaval was connected to Spotty Dog and revealed that Spotty Dog had swallowed the Mystic Fruit and him in the Mist Belt.
• Angel told Spotty Dog that Black-and-White Maid, Davaxia, and Minavaro had come looking for him, and persuaded him to return home.
• Angel promised Spotty Dog they could meet again at Heart’s Desire or in the Nightmare Realm, and Spotty Dog agreed to go back.
• Angel returned to the real world and told the Inspector that Spotty Dog might leave, forcing them to reconsider how to handle Gruzdaiwald’s avatar and consciousness fragment, and Boluoye.

Angel and the Inspector worried that Spotty Dog’s departure would release Gruzdaiwald and Boluoye, but Spotty Dog carried them and the others out of its stomach and gave Wang Wang the White Chamber. Spotty Dog also gave Angel the Mystic Spirit from No. 03, then turned its attention to the Inspector, who anticipated a gift of his own.

• Angel asked the Inspector whether he could imprison Gruzdaiwald and Boluoye, and the Inspector said he could not contain Gruzdaiwald and could trap Boluoye only briefly.
• Angel and the Inspector considered having Spotty Dog take the two prisoners away or destroy them, but Spotty Dog opened an abyssal maw and spat Angel, the Inspector, and Wang Wang out near No. 00 at the former Snooker Base.
• Angel told Spotty Dog not to release Gruzdaiwald and Boluoye into the Wizarding World, and Spotty Dog spat out the White Chamber and gave it to Wang Wang.
• The Inspector confirmed that the White Chamber still contained the Mystic Fruit, and Angel found that it used a Nightmare Realm energy system with limits on how long it could sustain heavy use.
• Spotty Dog gave Angel a glass orb containing the mutated Mystic Spirit from No. 03, which Angel accepted for future study.
• Spotty Dog turned toward the Inspector, who hoped it was about to give him a gift too.

Angel saw Spotty Dog off through a steel gate to Heart's Desire, leaving the Inspector with more questions about Angel's identity and Spotty Dog's origins. After the Extreme Sect visitors departed, the Inspector opened Angel's envelope and found a note asking him to use the login device and look after Wang Wang.

• Two black-and-white maidservants arrived, greeted Angel as Lady Shava, and said Spotty Dog had to return to Heart's Desire because its departure had caused chaos.
• Angel persuaded Spotty Dog to go home, and the maidservants opened a steel gate showing the heart of Pamiji Plateau.
• Angel carried Spotty Dog through the gate and gave the Inspector an envelope before the maidservants followed and the gate vanished.
• The Inspector considered the clues about Spotty Dog and Angel, then met two Extreme Sect members searching for the maidservants and directed them toward the Eternal Night Kingdom.
• The Inspector opened Angel's envelope and read a note asking him to use the login device and look after Wang Wang.

Rhein and Isos reinforced the Wall of Condensed Light around the Star Pool Ruins, but the black-and-white maids broke through it from outside. The monsters then vanished back into the ruins, and Rhein spotted a familiar figure falling from the sky: Angel.

• Wallace reported that the Wall of Condensed Light had only two hours left before it collapsed, so Rhein revealed that Isos was on his way.
• Isos reinforced the barrier to last up to three days, while Rhein sent the Fire Charm Witch to evacuate people from the Black Demon Kingdom.
• Wallace reported that Misty Gold had appeared in the ruins, but the black-and-white maids soon broke through the barrier and released mist into the sky.
• Rhein ordered Wallace to tell Iron Armor Granny to prepare for battle, but Wallace then reported that every monster had returned to the ruins.
• Rhein saw Davaxia at the entrance to Heart's Desire and then spotted Angel falling from the High Sky.
