Chapter Summaries

Linsey and Wala Wala followed the Adventure Pointer through a submerged waterway into a hidden tunnel Linsey had dug beneath the City of Law. As they approached the Sea of Wandering’s core, Wala Wala sensed immense power of the end, and Linsey’s summoned piranhas were destroyed by flames ahead.

• Linsey and Wala Wala entered the City of Law’s flooded moat and ripped away an iron grate to reach an underground waterway.
• The Adventure Pointer led them to a concealed tunnel beneath the City of Law, which Linsey admitted he had dug during the Abyss School’s attack.
• Linsey guided Wala Wala through the tunnel, but his Adventure Map’s view was blocked by impenetrable black fog.
• Wala Wala sensed no life ahead but warned Linsey that the power of the end was exceptionally strong near the Sea of Wandering’s core.
• Linsey summoned two piranhas with his Piranha Staff to scout ahead, but their connection to him abruptly vanished after they were burned to ash.

Linsey and Wala Wala discovered that the Sea of Wandering’s Source Fire would instantly burn away anything born from the Source Material World, and learned that surviving it required one of three unavailable conditions. As an Eighth Stage enemy searched nearby, Linsey proposed using his Desperate Blessing to attempt another way into the root.

• Linsey and Wala Wala stopped at the scouting boundary after Linsey’s piranha was burned to ashes by the Source Fire.
• When an Eighth Stage Abyss Awakened began searching for them, Linsey equipped the Magma Crest and tried to approach the fire, but Wala Wala stopped him.
• Linsey summoned a Little Wild Man and used the Magma Crest to test the Source Fire, which burned the creature away almost instantly.
• Linsey and Wala Wala investigated the Sea of Wandering’s core and learned that entry required waiting for the Source Material Tide, upgrading the Magma Crest, or reaching the Eighth Stage.
• Wala Wala offered to try entering the fire, but Linsey refused and proposed a plan after showing her his Desperate Blessing.

Linsey entered the Sea of Wandering’s core and used Desperate Blessing and Eternal Return to survive its white flames and escape. As his Life Source Material advanced to Life Lineage (Ancient Elder), Wala Wala sensed the sea turning violent and wondered whether Linsey had succeeded.

• Linsey crossed into the core of the Sea of Wandering, where white flames assimilated his defenses, body, and thoughts.
• Fenna’s Desperate Blessing preserved Linsey’s life and sense of self against the World’s Origin.
• Linsey activated Eternal Return, erased a portion of the source material, and opened a passage through the core.
• The lingering wills and yearnings of people Linsey had encountered pushed him out of the flames and into the void.
• Linsey’s Life Source Material advanced from Life Lineage (Sowing) to Life Lineage (Ancient Elder).
• Wala Wala sensed the sea and its beasts turning frenzied and wondered whether Linsey had succeeded.

Wala Wala evaded an Abyss School search while guarding the Sea of Wandering’s core, then reunited with Linsey after he advanced his Life Source Material and obtained the Source Flame. Linsey explained that taking the flame had caused the sea’s frenzy, and his new power had transformed his body and awakened a special ability.

• Wala Wala tried to warn Linsey through the Friend Channel, then hid from an approaching Awakened by suppressing her presence and moving away from the core.
• After the search passed without detecting her, Wala Wala met Linsey as he emerged from the darkness and light.
• Wala Wala noticed Linsey’s Source Material had grown stronger, and Linsey revealed the Source Flame he had taken from the Source Material root.
• Linsey told Wala Wala that losing the flame had caused the Sea of Wandering’s frenzy and that he had taken only enough to awaken the people of the City of Law.
• Linsey’s Life Source Material advanced to the Ancient Elder stage, raising all his attributes by 300, extending his lifespan to 5,000 years, and granting him Wise Elder.

Linsey and Wala Wala escaped the Royal City with the Source Flame and planned to use it to awaken the Law World from the Sea of Wandering. As they approached the Royal City’s mountaintop, they realized the Eighth Stage enemy might detect or stop them, so Linsey proposed awakening specific people to help.

• Linsey used his Wise Elder trait on Wala Wala, then explained that the Source Flame could awaken the entire Law World through the Law System at the Royal City.
• Linsey and Wala Wala retraced their route and left the Royal City’s defensive perimeter while avoiding the Corruption Power sweeping through the sea.
• Linsey and Wala Wala concluded that the Awakened was slaughtering sea beasts to investigate the Sea of Wandering and that the enemy was also affected by it.
• Linsey and Wala Wala reached the dimming mountaintop and recognized it as a trap where their Stealth would fail and they would face the Eighth Stage enemy.
• Linsey proposed awakening specific people who could help them carry out the plan.

Linsey and Wala Wala traveled to the War Graveyard to seek Nia’s help against the Abyss School and found her giving a lesson. Linsey also spotted Alvitte among the survivors, and Wala Wala challenged him about awakening her first.

• Linsey told Wala Wala that no Eighth Stage Awakened remained in the Royal City and proposed asking Nia for help.
• Linsey and Wala Wala left the Royal City, noting that an Eighth Stage Awakened’s Willpower seemed focused on guarding its boundaries.
• Linsey checked the War Graveyard and found that only seventeen people remained alive there.
• Linsey and Wala Wala reached the summit and found Nia frozen in her lecturing pose with three listeners nearby.
• Linsey recognized Alvitte, and Wala Wala asked whether he planned to awaken her first.

Linsey awakened Nia in the Sea of Wandering and learned that an Eighth Stage member of the Abyss School was influencing the sea from another world. Nia urged Linsey to reach the Law Core and awaken everyone while she confronted the enemy, but her attention was caught by Wala Wala.

• Wala Wala joined Linsey in rescuing the survivors and helped carry the Awakened toward the plaza.
• Linsey used the Source Flame to burn away the power of the end inside Nia and wake her.
• Nia identified the enemy as an Eighth Stage Awakened from the Abyss School, acting through the connection between death, revival, and the Sea of Wandering.
• Nia warned that the enemy likely had another plan and said the School of Death's Rebirth from Death ritual was connected to the Sea of Wandering.
• Nia offered to handle the Abyss School member and told Linsey to enter the Law Core to awaken everyone.
• Nia noticed Wala Wala's power and told Linsey to wake the survivors for the coming fight at the City of Law.

Nia confronted the Abyss School's Awakened above the City of Law, challenging its plan to corrupt the city and potentially threaten every world. While their powers clashed, Linsey led Alvitte and Wala Wala through the city's walls and reached the Law Hall with the Source Flame.

• Nia entered the Sea of Wandering to delay the Abyss School's Awakened and considered how Wala Wala's power might help her advance her divine power.
• Nia confronted the Abyss School's Awakened, who explained that he planned to replace the Law System with Corruption Power and turn the city's people into Revivalists.
• Nia questioned whether the Awakened could spread the Sea of Wandering to every world, then openly opposed him when he would not deny the possibility.
• Nia's power of faith collided with the Awakened's force as Linsey led Alvitte and Wala Wala through all three walls of the City of Law.
• Linsey reached the Law Hall at the center of the Royal City with the Source Flame in his hand.

Linsey and his companions entered the Law Hall to stop the Abyss School technique corrupting the City of Law System, but their attacks could not break its Eighth Stage protection. Linsey combined his, Wala Wala’s, and Alvitte’s Source Material to rebuild a complete City of Law, halting the power of the end as people began to awaken and worlds overlapped.

• Linsey sensed that an Abyss School technique was slowly invading the Law System while it devoted most of its power to protecting the sleeping people.
• The Law Hall doors opened for Linsey, and he entered with Alvitte and Wala Wala.
• Alvitte and Wala Wala attacked the radiance guarding the Law System but were driven back, and Linsey’s Seven-Colored Radiance Sword also failed to break it.
• Linsey asked Alvitte and Wala Wala to lend him their Source Material so he could make a piece of equipment.
• Linsey combined their Source Material and rebuilt a complete City of Law beneath a white sun, stopping the assimilation of the power of the end as people awakened and worlds overlapped.

Linsey, Wala Wala, and Alvitte awakened the City of Law with the Source Flame and forged the Rainbow Light Hallucination Dream Blade, restoring the world and defeating the Abyss School Awakened’s attempt to stop them. As Nia descended, Linsey reopened his inventory after realizing something important.

• Linsey used the Source Flame to awaken humanity and restore the scattered fragments of the City of Law.
• Alvitte celebrated their success, while Wala Wala hugged her and praised her voice.
• Linsey forged the Rainbow Light Hallucination Dream Blade from the Hallucination Orb and Seven-Colored Radiance Sword, using Source Material borrowed from Alvitte and Wala Wala.
• The Abyss School Awakened stopped fighting Nia and vanished into the seawater as the City of Law began to recover.
• Wala Wala asked whether Linsey could use the remaining Source Flame to bring the entire world back to reality, and Linsey said it was enough to open a passage.
• Nia descended through the parted seawater, and Linsey reopened his inventory after a sudden realization.

Linsey suspected Nia might be connected to the Old Gods’ plan to create Divine Offspring, even as she negotiated with Wala Wala for her power. As the City of Law began recovering and Alvitte organized rescues, Linsey detected Nia turning hostile and moving toward the Law Hall.

• Linsey read the God's Etching mission and warned Wala Wala and Alvitte that Nia might conceal a contingency left by the Old Gods.
• Nia arrived at the mountaintop and proposed trading for Wala Wala’s power, and Wala Wala agreed to discuss it after the City of Law was safe.
• Law Knights asked Alvitte to coordinate the rescue, and she led them into the city while Nia followed.
• Linsey stayed behind with Wala Wala, supported Alvitte through the Game Module, and prepared to use the Source Flame to return the world to reality.
• As the Law System’s maps reactivated and other Eighth Stage Awakened Ones began restoring their worlds, Linsey saw Nia’s marker turn red and move toward the Law Hall.

Linsey and Wala Wala fought Nia on the mountaintop of Royal City, and Linsey used a Mythic Arrow empowered by Wala Wala and Eternal Return to make Nia disappear. As the city’s residents evacuated and allies rushed to help, a deity began replacing the City of Law’s Law System with its own faith.

• Linsey spotted Nia approaching the Law Hall and attacked her with arrows empowered by the Rainbow Light Hallucination Dream Blade.
• Nia resisted Linsey’s attacks with her own Law power, while Wala Wala’s presence deterred her from counterattacking.
• Wala Wala shared her power with Linsey, who fired a Mythic Arrow infused with Eternal Return and defeated Nia.
• Linsey saw that Alvitte’s Law Knights were coordinating another evacuation as familiar powers rushed toward the mountaintop.
• Linsey’s Ecosystem Radar warned him that a deity was replacing the City of Law’s Law System with its own faith.

As the City of Law descended into the Sea of Wandering, Liz and Prizm helped manage the chaos while Linsey and Wala Wala faced Nia’s attempt to replace the Law System. Linsey held back from attacking the Law Core to protect the worlds and people dependent on it, and Nia asked why they opposed her.

• Nam told Liz that her child Senir had gone missing, and Liz sent her to Cortres’s safe house, where the missing children were being gathered.
• Liz responded to emergencies around the city as Prizm sensed that a Resurrected God was trying to replace the Law System with Faith Law.
• Prizm identified Linsey as the one fighting the god and urged Liz to seek help from Alvitte’s people in maintaining order.
• Atop the mountain, Linsey and Wala Wala confirmed through Scouting that Nia was replacing the Law System, but they could not match an Eighth Stage god’s control of laws.
• Linsey aimed the Storm Shooter at the transforming Law Core but lowered it because destroying the system could doom the other worlds and their inhabitants.
• Nia spoke to Linsey and Wala Wala and asked why they were hostile to her and whether they believed the City of Law’s current state was right.

• Linsey kicked Nia out of the Friend Channel, while Wala Wala challenged whether she was truly Nia or an evil god.
• Alvitte declared that the voice in the Law System was an evil god, and Nia dared them to destroy the system despite the lives and worlds at risk.
• Linsey's Scouting Skill revealed that Nia's fused state could only be ended by destroying the Law System, while the Walkthrough Master offered no help.
• White urged Linsey to destroy the Law System before the Source Flame awakened the whole world, even if that meant sacrificing the people living at the World's Edge.
• Yanafeien arrived and privately told Linsey that the Law System could be controlled through recognition of a royal artifact, allowing him to purge Nia from it.

Linsey used the Human Wisdom Codex and Thorned Necklace to claim authority over the Law System, then learned he lacked the power to separate Nia from it. He asked the Law System to use his Source Flame to return the City of Law’s World's Edge to the normal world.

• Yanafeien explained that the Thorned Necklace and Human Wisdom Codex could indirectly grant access to the Law System, and offered to pay the price herself.
• Linsey put on the Thorned Necklace and connected it to the Human Wisdom Codex, allowing him to face the Law System’s test of Resolve.
• Linsey declared that he belonged to the timeline and was willing to pay the price to stop the deity, and the Law System acknowledged his Resolve.
• Linsey learned that his authority was insufficient to separate Nia from the Law System, even with the Codex as a medium.
• Linsey asked the Law System to use his Source Flame to restore the City's World's Edge to the normal world, and it agreed.

Linsey damaged the Law System to sabotage the deity’s plan to claim the City of Law, while Nia warned him that the deity sought Wala Wala’s power. Linsey and Wala Wala chose to stay and fight, and he prepared a risky plan involving the First King’s ashes and the Staff of Corruption.

• Linsey used Source Flame and Datafication to send part of the Law System back to the Real World, damaging the deity’s attempt to fuse with it.

• Linsey used the Galgame Module to confirm that Nia’s divine nature had been tampered with and that the hostile deity was controlling her.
• Wala Wala refused to leave Linsey, and he decided to defeat the deity by seeking more control over the Law System.
• Linsey took out Bena’s ashes and the Staff of Corruption to try to awaken the First King as a Revivalist.

Linsey revived Bena in a powerless form and used the royal artifacts to let him take control of the Law System. Bena expelled the god and died again, leaving Linsey holding a rainbow-colored sword.

• Linsey used the Staff of Corruption and Source Material to revive Bena from his ashes, but could not restore his full strength.
• Bena learned that a god had merged with the Law System, and Linsey explained that the royal artifacts could let him control it.
• Bena accepted the power of the Human Wisdom Codex and Thorned Necklace, then took authority over the Law System.
• Bena raised the City of Law out of the Sea of Wandering and expelled the god from the system.
• Bena disintegrated into ashes, while a rainbow-colored longsword appeared in Linsey's hand.

Linsey kept attacking the deity while the world’s restoration stopped, but he reassured the others that the City of Law World would still return to reality. He revealed that Bena had liberated the Law System, ending the king’s control over the city’s future.

• Linsey relentlessly struck the deity with his sword, inflicting severe pain as the City of Law rose from the sea.
• Wala Wala noticed that the world’s repair process had stopped, and Alvitte prepared to retrieve more Source Flame from the seabed.
• Linsey contacted Alvitte through the Friend Channel and told her the world would return and that no sacrifice was needed.
• The Suffering Walker sensed that someone had changed the Law System’s underlying logic, while Wala Wala realized Bena was responsible.
• Linsey explained that Bena had expelled the deity and liberated the Law System, so no single king would decide the City of Law’s future.

Linsey fought the deity after Bena altered the Law System and unbound the city from the king. With Wala Wala uncovering the deity’s weakness, Alvitte ordered the Law Knights to evacuate civilians from the Royal City to the World's Edge.

• Alvitte questioned Linsey about the Law System’s changes, but he said he had no time to study them while fighting.
• Yanafeien and Wala Wala identified the summoned figure as Bena, the first king who founded the City of Law, startling the Suffering Walker and the Law Knights.
• The deity resisted Linsey’s attacks, while Linsey realized his dwindling source material could not sustain the stalemate indefinitely.
• Wala Wala discovered that the deity had been seriously injured by the interrupted merger and that the power it had swallowed was fighting against it.
• Han Si Ke arrived with Law Knights, and Alvitte ordered them to evacuate civilians from the Royal City toward the World's Edge.

Linsey fought the deity as it abandoned its fused Law Power and used a warrior's technique to stab him through the heart. Linsey survived by activating Datafication, and the deity demanded to know what he was.

• Linsey overwhelmed the deity with repeated attacks, forcing it to expel the Law Power fused within its body and weaken itself.
• The deity used a miracle of faith to descend onto the mountaintop and attack Linsey with a black blade.
• Linsey recognized the deity's precisely timed thrust as the warrior technique Ravager, which it had borrowed from an ancient remnant soul.
• The deity and Linsey struck each other, and the deity's black blade pierced Linsey's heart as the Rainbow Light Hallucination Dream Blade hit the deity.
• Wala Wala tried to heal Linsey, but he used Willpower Source Material and Datafication to recover from the fatal wound.
• The deity called Linsey inhuman and demanded to know what he was.
