Chapter Summaries

Angel discovered that the Authority Tree had hidden branches connected to the Dream Crystal Plain and devised a plan to counter Memory Forest’s invasion. After borrowing Memory Forest from Gleipnir, he waited as she brought it to the Dream Crystal Plain beside the unconscious Laplace.

• Angel realized the Authority Tree could regulate the Dream Crystal Plain’s future Authorities and decided to use it against Memory Forest’s invasion.
• Angel released the Shed Scale bottle after calling Gleipnir, then received the Star Chart from Gengar.
• Angel asked Gleipnir to lend him Memory Forest, and she agreed because Laplace had approved it.
• Angel observed that the spider monster was claiming territory rather than attacking Laplace, reinforcing his suspicion that the Mirror World was favoring her.
• Gleipnir arrived with Memory Forest and placed its glass-covered, cloud-leaved bonsai beside the sleeping Laplace.

Angel declined to enter the Memory Forest and explained that he was waiting for the Dream Crystal Plain’s Nightmare Domain main body to emerge before using its authority to counter the forest’s laws. He told Laplace about the Dream Wilderness and considered making her a partner in its core affairs, but left that choice dependent on whether his plan succeeded.

• Gleipnir warned Angel not to enter the Memory Forest alone, then departed after identifying it as a medium-large Wizard Garden.
• Angel concluded that the Memory Forest could take control of the Dream Crystal Plain, so he resolved to preserve his authority over the plain even if that meant destroying it.
• Angel returned to the Dream Crystal Plain and told Laplace he would wait for its rules to manifest before bringing in the Memory Forest.
• Angel explained that he planned to use authority from the Dream Crystal Plain’s Nightmare Domain main body, enhanced by the Lucky Scroll, to suppress the Memory Forest’s laws.
• Angel began telling Laplace about the Dream Wilderness and considered raising her from a familiar outsider to a trusted participant in its core affairs, depending on the outcome of his plan.

Angel told Laplace about the Dream Wilderness and its potential, then noticed the Spider Monsters react when Laplace considered naming the Dream Crystal Plain. He sent Laplace out of the space and invited her back to explore another region, leaving her approaching the gate with questions about how he had moved her.

• Angel described the Dream Wilderness to Laplace, who recognized its potential for endless supplies and extraordinary experiments but did not press him about its secrets.
• Angel and Laplace discussed naming the Dream Crystal Plain, and the Spider Monsters stopped weaving and stared at Laplace until she decided not to name it.
• Laplace expressed interest in Dream Plant Fairies and her failed attempts to create fairy-shaped Time Doppelgängers before Angel sensed that the time was nearly right for the Nightmare Domain's main body to appear.
• Angel told Laplace the Dream Crystal Plain could shatter and offered her a chance to explore elsewhere, then left; Laplace activated the Dream Bridge and logged out.
• Angel invited Laplace to return and explore another part of the Dream Crystal Plain, delayed bringing in Memory Forest, and used the Entering Dreams spell to send her back to the Dream Bridge.
• Laplace followed the Dream Bridge to its gate and stepped forward after Angel confirmed that the scenery beyond was prettier.

Angel brought Laplace to the Dream Crystal Plain and offered her the chance to control it or bear one of its authorities. Laplace refused ownership but agreed to trust Angel’s judgment, and Angel went to attempt to manifest the authorities while the cleanser’s threat remained unresolved.

• Laplace found the Dream Crystal Plain unchanged and questioned Angel about why he had brought her there.
• Angel asked whether Laplace would take control of the Dream Crystal Plain, prompting her to infer that the will of the Mirror World might be influencing events.
• Laplace refused to control the Dream Crystal Plain, choosing against the Mirror World’s apparent wishes, and Angel said it would remain his.
• Angel explained that the Plain’s authorities were like a crown that could grant power, then offered Laplace the chance to bear one.
• Laplace suspected Angel was trying to win her over and realized the Memory Forest might harm the Dream Crystal Plain, but she left the decision to Angel.
• Angel told Laplace to consider what authority she might want and walked into the dark crystal plain to attempt to manifest the authorities.

Angel bound the Dream Crystal Plain’s embryonic Nightmare Domain main body with the Green Pattern and used a Lucky Scroll to seek authority that could suppress the Memory Forest. Meanwhile, Laplace was pulled by a strange whip into an unknown Rose Garden after crystal objects resembling abilities of Purifiers she had killed appeared around her.

• Angel entered a pit beneath the Crystal Plain and found the embryonic Nightmare Domain main body in a vast underground world.
• Angel used the Green Pattern to bind and compress the main body until it formed a diamond-shaped crystal, then opened a Lucky Scroll while seeking authority that could suppress the Memory Forest.
• Laplace sensed the ground trembling, evaded swarms of flying crystal debris, and found crystal creations including mirrors that revealed forms resembling Purifiers she had killed.
• Laplace approached a vanity mirror and a standing mirror, saw a butterfly-covered woman and the Nine-Foot Snake Woman appear in them, and watched both mirrors fade as she moved away.
• A barbed whip wrapped around Laplace and tugged her into an unknown Rose Garden.

Laplace explored a dreamlike world connected to the Dream Realm purgers and found the Masked Man, whose whip had dragged her there. As she pursued him into the house, Angel’s account revealed that a battle over ownership of the Dream Crystal Plain had begun.

• Laplace found that the world beyond the garden was an illusion and suspected she was inside a dream centered on the nearby house.
• Laplace discovered the Masked Man pursuing a young girl through the back door, while the Big Mary Roses attacked and killed the girl.
• The roses in Laplace’s garden turned monstrous, but she trampled them and crushed the floating heads above the entrance.
• Laplace found the girl alive on the path despite having crushed her head, then followed the vanished Masked Man into the house.
• Angel identified the great event in the Dream Crystal Plain as Creation Strife, a conflict between his released authority and the Mirror World’s laws over ownership of the Plain.

Angel used the Lucky Scroll to grant Dream Crystal Plain the authority he provisionally named Dreamwalking Wonderland, which suppressed Memory Forest and destroyed the Spider Monster. After the battle, he returned to find Laplace and noticed that Dream Crystal Plain had begun developing a strange new energy.

• Angel narrowed the Lucky Scroll’s choice to a non-core authority that could suppress Memory Forest, and Dream Crystal Plain absorbed the authority after he released it.
• The authority’s birth caused fissures and falling crystal debris, forcing Angel to log out; after he returned, he named the new authority Dreamwalking Wonderland and saw its crystal creations vanish.
• Angel used Dream Gate to locate Laplace near a whip-shaped crystal creation in the High Sky, then logged out as the new authority fully merged with Dream Crystal Plain.
• Angel watched Memory Forest break the Spider Monster’s Woven Net, restrain the monster, and dissolve it into fragments of memory.
• Dreamwalking Wonderland turned Memory Forest’s cotton clouds into crystal creations until Memory Forest shrank and lost its ability to swallow Dream Crystal Plain.
• Angel returned to Dream Crystal Plain, sensed a new kind of energy, and noticed that Energy Selection had gone dark while Energy-Level Restriction was faintly glowing.

Angel used the Authority Tree to observe the inside of the crystal construct and found Laplace in a dreamlike trial space, where she had cornered a masked man. Laplace learned that killing him would end the special dream and grant information, but unexplored areas would change after she left.

• Angel probed the Dreamwalking Wonderland authority and learned he could investigate conditions inside its Wonderlands.
• Laplace searched the lavish house, found old bloodstains and a half-burned painting, then encountered and overpowered the masked man.
• Angel viewed Laplace's trial space through the Authority Tree and spoke to her, explaining that the crystal construct was tied to a new authority.
• Laplace stopped before killing the masked man after information appeared in her mind, revealing that he was a special character whose execution would end the dream and provide information about question marks.

Angel and Laplace explored the special dream realm, uncovering the story of a betrayed noble heir and searching for a way to raise the exploration progress. After Laplace killed the buried girl, the progress rose from 65% to 99%, leaving the reason for the final missing percent unresolved.

• Angel explained that the new Authority, Dreamwalking Wonderland, appeared to combine the Dream Realm and Mirror World, while Laplace delayed executing the masked man to pursue 100% exploration.
• Laplace searched the house, found a family portrait linking its master and butler to heads outside the Rose Garden, and discovered a hidden box and portrait in the attic.
• Laplace and Angel inferred that the attic’s injured child was the surviving noble heir, whom the former butler and head maid had robbed, and possibly the dreamer behind the realm.
• Laplace confirmed that solving the house’s mysteries had not raised exploration progress from 65%, then Angel revealed that the buried girl was still breathing.
• Laplace crushed the buried girl’s head, and her remote execution information showed that exploration progress had risen to 99%.

Laplace cleared Helen’s Dream with 99% exploration progress, learned that the masked man was the dreamer Vilaf van Helen, and gained Helen’s Delusional Physique. Angel could not enter the changing dream, but watched as its creatures transformed and the girl Laplace had killed was reborn.

• Laplace executed Vilaf van Helen, but her exploration progress remained at 99%, and the system warned that Helen’s Dream would undergo an unknown change.
• Laplace realized Vilaf van Helen was Helen, the bullied orphan and dreamer, and explained that killing him had let her leave without completing the dream.
• Laplace demonstrated that Helen’s Delusional Physique directly strengthened her body, and Angel wondered whether Dreamwalking Wonderland rewards could work in Dream Wilderness.
• Angel tried to enter Helen’s Dream but could not; the Authority Tree told him to wait while its structure changed, so he watched the Box Garden from outside.
• Angel saw the head balloons grow into enormous Flying Skull Demons, the Big Mary Roses wither into fertilizer, and the girl Laplace had killed come back to life.

Angel watched the changes in Helen's Dream and discovered that it had linked with Billa's Sweet Dream to become Feast of the Glutton, which placed Laplace on the Glutton's hunting list. He found a new Box Garden inside a towering Crystal Mountain and prepared to explore the Dream Crystal Plain's Memory Forest with Laplace, who planned to bring her Time Doppelgänger.

• A rose-covered girl was reborn in Helen's Dream, entered the house, and surrounded it with thorny vines; afterward, roses appeared on Angel's crystal whip.
• Angel told Laplace what he had seen and searched the Dream Crystal Plain, where he found a mountain path leading up the enormous Crystal Mountain and entered its Box Garden viewpoint.
• Laplace received a notice that Helen's Dream had linked with Billa's Sweet Dream and become Feast of the Glutton, with a three-hour countdown before the Glutton began hunting her.
• Laplace identified Billa as the house owner's daughter and decided to wait for the Glutton's pursuit in hopes of discovering Helen's Dream's missing exploration progress.
• Angel invited Laplace to visit Memory Forest in the Dream Crystal Plain, and Laplace agreed before asking to bring her Time Doppelgänger along.

Angel successfully created the Dream Crystal Plain within the Mirror World and considered testing whether Sweet Dream could be brought into it. He and Laplace arranged for Luigi and Rabbit Girl to explore safely while Laplace and Gleipnir prepared to enter Feast of the Glutton.

• Angel told Laplace he wanted to test whether Sweet Dream could be pulled into the Dream Crystal Plain, and Laplace said mysterious objects would likely remain unaffected by the change of world.
• Luigi arrived in the Reflection Space, and Angel explained that Crystal Mountain was likely a dangerous composite special dream formed from multiple dreams and demon monsters.
• Laplace agreed to keep Luigi out of Crystal Mountain, and Angel offered to place him in the safe zone nearby.
• Laplace said Gleipnir would accompany her into Feast of the Glutton and asked Angel to bring Gleipnir's defensive astrolabe into the Dream Crystal Plain; Angel agreed.
• Rabbit Girl arrived, and Laplace asked Angel to bring her scale-made shoulder bag into the Dream Crystal Plain so she could fight the remaining purgers.

Angel waited for Gleipnir, while Laplace explained the history of the Tooth Fairy Ruins and why Gleipnir had gone there to borrow an offensive item for the Feast of the Glutton. Swift Spirit revealed that it wanted Angel’s help reaching the real-world location corresponding to their Reflection Space, and the chapter ended with Angel realizing he had lost track of Proliferation Mushroom.

• Laplace explained that the Tooth Fairy Ruins housed Mirror Sea Scholars, who had split from Tooth Fairy Paradise after the first Tooth Fairy Queen cut off their supply of Crystal Condensates.
• Laplace said Gleipnir had gone to the Tooth Fairy Ruins to borrow an offensive item, which she might need Angel to bring into the Dream Crystal Plains.
• Swift Spirit told Angel that the colored winds could help it advance if it reached the real winds, so Angel agreed to help it find the corresponding real-world location.
• Laplace asked whether Proliferation Mushroom had emerged, and Angel realized it might still be inside Crystal Mountain after Corpse Mountain changed.

Angel used Gleipnir’s Astral Chess divination to consider whether Sweet Dream could enter the Dream Crystal Plain and what effects it might have. He then tried to reflect Sweet Dream with the Dream Conch, but the two mysterious powers briefly fused before separating and clashing, leaving the attempt’s success uncertain.

• Angel confirmed that the Proliferation Mushroom remained at the center of Crystal Mountain and decided to leave it there while studying the mountain.
• Gleipnir arrived wearing her Silver-Scale Robe and carrying the Tooth-Bone Staff, then offered to divine for Angel.
• Angel placed three pieces on Gleipnir’s Astral Chess board, and she interpreted them as the Wheel, Heavenly Road, and Kite.
• Laplace advised Angel to trust the favorable interpretations, and Angel chose to try pulling Sweet Dream into the Dream Crystal Plain.
• Angel activated the Dream Conch toward Sweet Dream as Laplace cleared away some Pink Wind, but their mysterious powers separated after briefly fusing.

Angel attempted to pull Sweet Dream into the Dream Crystal Plain, but Dreamwalking Wonderland intercepted something from it and turned it into a heart-shaped crystalline dream realm. When Dreamwalking Wonderland tried to seize Gleipnir’s Tooth-Bone Staff as well, Angel sealed its authority and began investigating how to restrain it.

• Angel sensed that the Dream Conch had pulled something from Sweet Dream into the Dream Crystal Plain, then found a glowing heart-shaped pillow that vanished as Dreamwalking Wonderland claimed it.
• Angel realized the pillow had become a crystalline creation containing the unknown object and concluded that recovering it would require finding its special dream realm and reaching 100% exploration.
• Angel told Laplace, Gleipnir, and the others what had happened and warned them that Dreamwalking Wonderland might seize their belongings too.
• Angel tested the Tooth-Bone Staff in the Dream Crystal Plain and sensed Dreamwalking Wonderland beginning to claim it.
• Angel used the Authority Tree to seal Dreamwalking Wonderland’s authority, then opened its information point to learn how to restrict it and withdrew after the information overwhelmed him.

Angel learned how Dreamwalking Wonderland formed special dreams and crystal creations, discovered that he could protect future items from interception but could not reclaim the Heart-Shaped Pillow, and prepared to send Laplace and the others into the Dream Crystal Plain for the approaching hunting hour. Just as Angel was about to follow, a gentle force squeezed his shoulder.

• Angel learned that special dreams formed from captured memories or dreams housed in transcendent vessels, while crystal creations hid in Wonderland atop Dream Mountain.
• Angel discovered that he could prevent Dreamwalking Wonderland from intercepting future objects under his protection, but could not stop its fundamental rules from claiming the Heart-Shaped Pillow.
• Angel told Laplace that he would need to explore the Heart-Shaped Pillow's special dream to learn what had happened to Sweet Dream.
• As the hunting hour approached, Angel sent Laplace, Gleipnir, Luigi, and their requested equipment and supplies into the Dream Crystal Plain's safe zone.
• Angel prepared to enter the Dream Crystal Plain, but a gentle force suddenly squeezed his shoulder.

Angel brought Dangros into Dream Crystal Plain after noticing how disappointed it was, but warned it to obey his rules and explained that its strength would not carry over there. In the safe zone, Rabbit Girl displayed astonishing combat power by killing a veteran-level Purifier remnant in a brief, relentless combo.

• Dangros asked Angel about Dream Crystal Plain, and Angel promised to take it there after making it agree to three rules.
• Angel sent the sleeping Dangros to Dream Crystal Plain's safe zone, then followed it across the Dream Bridge.
• Angel joined Laplace and the others as they watched Dream Mountain and discussed their plans for the remaining Purifier remnants.
• Gleipnir and Rabbit Girl went out to fight two approaching worm-like demonic creatures, with Gleipnir taking the weaker one and Rabbit Girl the stronger one.
• Rabbit Girl battered the veteran-level worm-like demonic creature into the ground and killed it, while Gleipnir continued fighting her own opponent.

Angel analyzed Rabbit Girl’s battle prowess, then helped Laplace and Gleipnir test the Tooth-Bone Staff and proposed bringing Tooth Fairy Ruins and Tooth Fairy Paradise into Dream Crystal Plain. After arranging everyone’s next tasks, Angel remained in the safe zone with Dangros.

• Angel recognized that Rabbit Girl’s carrot satchel released bloodline power that amplified her close-combat attacks, while her reliance on close range left her vulnerable to ranged demons.
• Laplace told Angel that Gleipnir had destroyed both the worm demon and the Tooth-Bone Staff while testing the staff’s limits, and asked him to send another staff.
• Laplace warned Angel that Luigi wanted to use the Dream Conch to steal the Tooth Fairy Harp, so Angel proposed bringing all of Tooth Fairy Paradise and Tooth Fairy Ruins into Dream Crystal Plain instead.
• After Angel logged out to fetch a replacement Tooth-Bone Staff and quenching liquid for Dangros, Laplace and Gleipnir agreed that bringing the tooth fairy territories into Dream Crystal Plain was feasible.
• Angel returned with the items, then sent Laplace and Gleipnir away from Dream Mountain, let Luigi observe the mountain, and directed Rabbit Girl to hunt the remaining demons.
• Angel and Dangros stayed behind in the safe zone as hunting hour approached.

Angel discovered that Dangros was downcast because it feared Angel would return to the Tidal Realm before showing it more of the outside world, and he reassured it that he would not leave it behind. As they headed to Feast of the Glutton, Angel observed Luigi wavering near Dream Mountain and turned his attention to Rabbit Girl's situation.

• Angel questioned Dangros about its low spirits and patiently waited until Dangros admitted that Angel's mention of returning to the Tidal Realm had upset it.
• Dangros explained that it feared Angel was impatient with it and would take it back before it had seen more of the world.
• Angel promised that he would take Dangros out again after returning to the Tidal Realm and would not leave it behind while it still wanted to explore.
• Angel invited Dangros to visit Feast of the Glutton, and they walked there from the safe zone while he explained special dreams.
• Angel used God's-eye view and saw Luigi repeatedly approach and retreat from Dream Mountain's climbing path, then focused his attention on Rabbit Girl.

Angel watched Rabbit Girl fight the long-range Oxhead Octopus and discovered she had an unexplained way to cross the distance and kill it. Later, Rabbit Girl put on a black rabbit-ear headband and vanished from the Dream Crystal Plain.

• Angel observed Demonic Beasts gathering at Rabbit Girl’s location and saw crystal creations appear as the beasts were killed.
• The Oxhead Octopus stunned Rabbit Girl with its roar and attacked her with a torrent of ink bullets, but she suddenly appeared above it and destroyed its head.
• Angel wondered how Rabbit Girl had crossed the battlefield and shifted his attention toward Feast of the Glutton, where Laplace was located.
• After waiting without another Demonic Beast appearing, Rabbit Girl found a black rabbit-ear headband and cautiously put it on.
• The surroundings blurred, and Rabbit Girl disappeared from the Dream Crystal Plain.
