Chapter Summaries

Moss faced the Dragon King after he unleashed a devastating fireball, and used her newly mastered Demon Breaking power to transform and disperse it. The captains survived, but Moss stood alone at the front as the battle continued.

• Moss freed the captains from the Dragon King's suppressive force, and Smote explained that the Dragon King had emerged from the remnants of a devoured Blood Clan.
• The Dragon King praised the humans and summoned a fireball more than a thousand meters wide, leaving the weakened captains convinced they could not stop it.
• Moss sensed the fireball's Fire Elements and mastered Demon Breaking, using her Demonic Eye to take away part of the Dragon King's Magic Power.

• Moss told the surviving captains to fall back and declared that she would face the Dragon King alone.

Molly von Nilia stayed behind to challenge Ainpeist, the Sky Domain Dragon, while the fleet fled. Their battle left Molly badly injured, but she healed and returned to face him as Ainpeist declared that she was the challenger.

• Moss refused to flee and told the man she would challenge him, then introduced herself as Molly von Nilia.
• The man revealed himself as Ainpeist, the Sky Domain Dragon, and Molly recognized that he had sensed the magic core underground.
• Molly and Ainpeist exchanged a fierce series of blows while Ischa and Novi watched anxiously from the Floating Ship.

• Molly cut off her necrotic arm, healed it with her talents, and flew back to confront Ainpeist, who called her the challenger.

Moss fought Ainpeist while the damaged World Gate began absorbing Magic Power and dissolving her magic core, leaving her with little time. She unleashed her speed and used spatial teleportation to counterattack, surprising Ainpeist by revealing that she could use Space Magic too.

• Ainpeist sliced through the area with a spatial attack, damaging the World Gate, whose blue light then activated a powerful suction that began draining Magic Power from the ground.

• Ainpeist unleashed Collapse Ring and then used clouds and enormous fists to smash Moss, but she escaped by striking her chest and vanishing through spatial teleportation.
• Moss emerged from the void, hit Ainpeist, and dropped enormous fists onto him; after he recovered, Ainpeist demanded to know why she could use Space Magic.

Moss unlocked Space Manipulation by using a teleportation arrow and immediately tested her new spatial abilities against Ainpeist. After a fierce exchange, Ainpeist emerged unharmed from the void and declared that he wanted Moss to become his kin.

• Moss broke through the spatial plane with the teleportation arrow, understood subspace, and awakened Space Manipulation at the Control level.

• Moss fought Ainpeist with fireballs and copied his Void Shattering Claw, then attacked him with a Black Spatial Line.
• Ainpeist avoided the attack by emerging from the void and told Moss he had decided to make her his kin.

Moss refused Ainpeist’s demand to become his servant and provoked him into attacking, but their fierce battle left her injured and Ainpeist still trying to seize her by force. The chapter ended as Ainpeist pressed his palm against Moss’s abdomen and began shattering the space around her.

• Moss blasted Ainpeist out of subspace and locked fists with him, but Ainpeist caught her hand and pressed his other palm against her abdomen to shatter the space around her.

Moss exploited Ainpeist’s limits to strike him repeatedly, but he immobilized her and forced his blood into her body to mark her as his dependent. Moss rejected the transformation and self-destructed, leaving her fate unresolved.

• Moss revealed Ainpeist’s spatial abilities were limited and attacked him, but her body began reaching its limit as the World Gate gathered magic power.

• Ainpeist injected his blood into Moss and declared that she would become a dragon and his dependent.
• Moss regained her composure, rejected Ainpeist’s mark, and self-destructed.

• The array revealed Moss standing atop the flames in black armor, and she turned to look toward the ship as Jahari Ligu Esyin recorded her.

After destroying the World Gate and killing Ainpeist, Moss realized the blast would attract powerful factions and refused Novi’s invitation to travel together. She then confronted a puppet who had taken Korelinus’s form, and the two introduced themselves as outsiders from different realms.

• Moss unlocked her existence, gained new talents, and rose to Gold Level 1 after destroying the World Gate and vaporizing Ainpeist.
• Moss anticipated trouble from the attention her explosion would draw, declined Novi’s offer to travel together, and entered a spatial rift to pursue another unresolved matter.

• A puppet emerged from the void, pulled Korelinus’s corrupted soul out with magic threads, and destroyed it.
• Moss revealed herself to the puppet, and they introduced themselves as Molly von Nilia and Korelinus, outsiders from the Material Realm and Mechanism Realm.

Moss pieced together the threat posed by the Ingrid Family and concluded that the Chaotic Times were approaching, while planning to keep Regis hidden and prepare for the coming turmoil. After the radioactive Black Rain killed the surviving monsters, she relaxed with Little Ball and celebrated the enormous collection of magic cores.

• Moss inferred that the Ingrid Family had long been controlled by a collective consciousness that had infiltrated the Empire’s upper ranks.
• Moss decided to avoid the center of the political turmoil, prepare for what God Radmia had warned about, and let Regis maintain contact with the Second Prince’s faction.

• The radioactive Black Rain killed the surviving monsters, and Moss received a notification that her level had increased.
• Little Ball reported that battlefield collection was nearly complete and helped Moss dress after she rested against it.
• Moss saw nearly a million magic cores in Kin Space and gleefully teleported there to roll around in the pile.

• Moss visited the mice’s festival, where Xi presented a Giant Dragon’s arm for the mice to devour.
• Moss told the mice the arm was theirs to use, and they pledged to devour it for her glory.

After the feast, Moss returned to the Slime ranch and checked on Aaron and Shirley as they recovered from their Alien Organs in the Slime Bathhouse. Aaron then hinted that he knew a place where more children like them might be found.

Moss returned to the mountain cave, cared for her weakened familiars, and decided to bring the mindless Koreya Elbana back to her space. She then returned to Hill City and watched its residents celebrate the fleet’s victory and the end of the crisis.

• Moss reunited with Flame Jade and soothed Storage Ring, whose strength and abilities had been weakened by the world’s laws.

• Moss ended her collection of magic cores and used Spatial Teleportation to return to the inn in Hill City.
• Moss checked on the sleeping Umeilu, then watched the city celebrate the returning fleet and the resolution of the crisis.

Umeilu woke in her new body and discovered its unusual strength and lightness, though she accidentally broke the inn's floor. After breakfast, Moss received a letter from Novi, leaving its contents unknown.

• Umeilu woke after several days and tested her new body, then accidentally smashed a hole in the floor while tumbling through the air.

• Rowan drank through her hangover while Umeilu enthusiastically ate breakfast at the inn.
• Rowan handed Moss a letter addressed to Molly von Nilia, and Moss recognized it as a letter from Novi.

Moss met Novi to collect her reward, learning that Jahari had added thirty thousand Gold Coins in exchange for her leaving Hill City the next day.

• Moss changed professions to Monster Controller and gained Monster Affinity, which produced an Aura that Umeilu noticed.
• Moss used Mental Force to control Umeilu's movements and discovered that soul-based Puppet Magic could dominate conscious targets more effectively than Magic Power-based control.

• Coordinate Displacement integrated with Space Control, raising it to Level VI, while Monster Modification combined with her Slime talents to create Special Slime: Directed Cultivation.
• Moss absorbed the new abilities, began her warm-up exercises, and prepared to test them.

Moss tested her new Monster Controller talents by placing a Dominion Imprint on her horse and using Telepathy to command and communicate with it. After considering how the imprint could support her Kin Space’s Ranch Zone, she turned her attention to Minion Enhancement and the advanced talent Storage Ring.

• Moss chose Dominion Imprint as the first new talent to test and used it to control her ordinary horse.
• Moss explained that the imprint gave her absolute control while preventing the horse’s soul from developing, making the talent useful for raising monsters in her Ranch Zone.
• Moss used Telepathy to command the horse to circle and confirmed she could communicate with it through thoughts.
