Chapter Summaries

Adam rescued the surviving Forest Elves, defeated five dragons, and spent two years building a fortified slave-gathering camp in the Dragon Plane. As Khatos monsters threatened to breach the world, he left the camp and entered the Khatos World.

• Adam revealed his identity to Lina, learned that only a little over three thousand Forest Elves had survived, and ordered them to leave while he went to fight the dragons.
• Adam defeated five dragonkind with his magic and stored their bodies in his Personal Space for later study.
• Adam spent a year gathering indigenous races at Makalu Mountain Range and protected the camp with a powerful Electric Current–Magnetic Field Conversion Array.
• In the second year, a transdimensional monster's limb entered the Dragon Plane, and the Dimensional Rifts multiplied as stronger monsters emerged.
• Adam reinforced the camp's Magic Array, ignored the Devil's pleas to stay, and entered the Khatos World.

Adam explored Khatos World, where lethal radiation had transformed the land and its creatures, and discovered valuable radioactive minerals beneath the surface. As a horde gathered around him, a powerful monster approached, leaving Adam facing another attack.

• Adam found polluted water at a small pool and saw it mutate a Frost Dragon corpse while nearby monsters attacked him.
• The Devil reported that Khatos’s monsters could not communicate or be contracted, and Adam destroyed a group that fired Energy Beams at him.
• Adam examined the crater and discovered naturally occurring radioactive minerals that could make Khatos World immensely valuable.
• The Devil warned Adam that the growing monster horde might attract a Hyperdimensional monster, but a powerful creature charged through the crowd and confronted him.
• Adam asked whether the creature could communicate, but it roared incomprehensibly and attacked alongside the surrounding monsters.

Adam used his Super Electromagnetic Cannon spell, Legion Strike, to destroy a monster legion and capture its level-two leader. After learning that the creatures had a simple language and no useful information to share, he concealed his energy signature and prepared to continue through Khatos World.

• Adam’s Iron Sand Swords slaughtered the monster legion, while the level-two monster broke through the formation and attacked him.
• Adam cast Super Electromagnetic Cannon, Legion Strike, wiping out the legion and pinning the level-two monster to the ground.
• Adam kept the wounded leader alive to question it and considered the possibility that Khatos World’s radiation species had a hierarchy and organized society.
• Adam sent the Devil to attempt a contract and learn the monster’s language, but the Devil found its soul too twisted for a contract and learned only that its earlier words meant “Intruder discovered” and “Kill him.”
• Adam destroyed the monster, transformed the Devil into a magic staff, and used a Magnetic Field to hide his energy while mimicking radiation.

Adam completed his survey of Khatos World’s border and ventured inland, where he discovered the Radiation Race had built a city and organized large-scale mining operations. Suspecting they were pursuing nuclear-energy research and possibly preparing for interplanar war, he continued deeper into Khatos to fulfill his duty as an Explorer Mage.

• Adam spent three months tracing Khatos World’s border, recording Radiation Race populations and the growing number of Dimensional Rifts before returning to his landing site.
• After flying inland for ten days, Adam spotted a city built from Radioactive Minerals and decided not to risk infiltrating it.
• Adam followed the supply chain to a mine where high-level Radiation Creatures supervised level-one monsters extracting Radioactive Minerals.
• Adam suspected the Radiation Race might be seeking to invade other planes and reasoned that they could be researching nuclear energy.
• Devil urged Adam to hide as his three-year deadline approached, but Adam flew deeper inland to continue his Explorer Mage duty.

Adam disguised himself in a mutated Dragon Body to infiltrate a Radiation Race city and investigate the knowledge the race was researching. After being assigned to King Nathaniel’s rule with almost no scrutiny, he began mapping the city and spotted an ore-processing building.

• Adam mapped the dangerous inland boundary of Khatos and returned to the border.
• Adam entered Chris Frost’s Dragon Body and used Radiation Race flesh to make it resemble a mutated creature.
• Adam infiltrated a city, where a Level Two Radiation Creature assigned him to King Nathaniel’s rule and marked areas he could not enter.
• Adam concluded that newly evolved Level Two creatures faced little scrutiny and explored the city while memorizing its layout.
• Adam saw Level Two creatures carrying ore into a building and identified it as a likely place to investigate.

Adam infiltrated the Radiation Race’s mineral-processing cities and discovered how its creatures were refining radioactive ore. In a second-ring factory, Du exposed Adam as an invader and ordered the city to capture him for King Nathaniel.

• Adam posed as a Level Two transporter and observed Radiation Creatures using their mutated bodies to extract uranium from ore.
• The Devil explained that Mages could turn knowledge into power because of their connection to the Mage World’s origin and Magic Net.
• Over several months, Adam followed ore transports through the Radiation Race’s city rings and entered a second-ring city with one month left before the Mage Legion’s arrival.
• Ken brought Adam and other large Level Two creatures to Du, a Level Four Radiation Creature who mutated captives into extractors.
• Du recognized Dragon energy in Adam and attacked him, forcing Adam to abandon his Frost Dragon body and reveal his true form.
• Adam escaped Du’s Energy Beam by stabilizing space and teleporting, while Du ordered the city’s creatures to capture him for King Nathaniel.

Adam fought his way across Khatos as the Radiation Race pursued him, hoping to escape through the World Border and reach the Dragon Plane. At the border, the creatures disrupted his teleportation, and Adam launched a final attack before racing toward escape.

• The Radiation Race discovered pure high-level energy on Adam and ordered every city to capture him at any cost.
• Adam evaded pursuing Level Four creatures with Blinks and Teleport Scrolls while attacking with magic and Aether Crystals.
• Radiation creatures across Khatos joined the hunt, and Adam resolved to reach the World Border and guide the Hyperdimensional Mages and Mage Legion into the Dragon Plane.
• After five days, Adam reached the border city, but the creatures disrupted space and surrounded him with Energy Beams.
• Adam suppressed the city with stacked Thunder Domains, transformed into the Shell of an Electromagnetic Cannon, and shot toward the border as a creature cried, "Got you, insect!"

Adam fought to escape a Level Four Radiation Creature’s blockade and nearly reached the Dimensional Rift before a hyperdimensional monster attacked. The Space Anchor activated, locked onto Khatos World, and summoned the first Hyperdimensional Strike against the hyperdimensional King.

• A Level Four Radiation Creature surrounded Adam with tentacles and tried to capture him for his high-grade energy, while the Devil surrendered control of their body to Adam.
• Adam used a series of spells, Flash, and a Teleport Scroll to break through the creature’s blockade and reach the area near the Dimensional Rift.
• A massive tentacle struck down in front of the rift, severely injuring Adam and shattering his magic staff as the Devil recognized the attacker as a hyperdimensional monster.
• Adam gripped the Space Anchor, which shielded him from the tentacles and announced that Khatos World’s coordinates were locked.
• The first Hyperdimensional Strike descended from the sky and struck the hyperdimensional King.

Adam watched the Hyperdimensional Mages bombard the Radiation King and learned that the strikes consumed Mage World’s origin, while the Third Holy Tower planned to buy the surviving creature for research. As Mage World prepared to declare war on Khatos and the Dragon Plane, Adam recovered aboard Priscilla Hyperdimensional’s starship and was summoned to advise the Combat Staff on plans for the two worlds.

• Adam watched the first Hyperdimensional Strikes severely injure the Radiation King, who survived and began reaching into the void before a second strike drove him back into the ground.
• Priscilla Hyperdimensional explained the cost and purpose of Hyperdimensional Strikes, revealed that the Third Holy Tower wanted a living Radiation King, and promised Adam twenty percent of the sale price.
• Priscilla’s Mage Tower and three others descended into Khatos, while another Mage Tower pierced the Dragon Plane’s Crystal Wall System and linked it to the spatial hub.
• Adam received temporary authorization aboard Priscilla’s starship, restored the Devil in a Culture Dish, and spent three days recovering as his Mental Power and magic power reached 199 points.
• Senior Combat Staff mage Amy Jonathan told Adam that Mage World would formally declare war on Khatos and the Dragon Plane within three days and asked him to review the battle plans.

Adam signed a contract allowing other Mages to use magnetic-field enhancements based on his Electromagnetic Magic, then joined the campaign against the Dragon Plane after Mage World declared war on both worlds. Mage Evans assigned him to persuade the Dragon Plane’s resistance to surrender, including the Covenant Races led in part by Lina, or face destruction and exploitation.

• Adam confirmed the intelligence map’s markings while warning Mage Aimee that capturing King Nathaniel could have changed the situation in Khatos World.
• Adam signed Priscilla Hyperdimensional’s contract to let the Magic Net add magnetic-field properties to other Mages’ Mage’s Armor in exchange for daily Aether Crystal payments.
• The five Hyperdimensional Mages declared war on Khatos World and the Dragon Plane, and Adam prepared to join Hyperdimensional Lind’s campaign against the Dragon Plane.
• Mage Evans explained that the Dragon Plane’s Origin was deteriorating and assigned Adam to persuade its resistance organization to stop fighting.
• Adam told Mage Evans that the Covenant Races’ camp in the Makalu Mountain Range was led in part by Lina, and Mage Evans warned that the races could be captured for use as Soul Slaves or Test Subjects.

Adam arrived at the Makalu Mountain Range with Sherlock Mage and Brandon Mage to force the resistance organization into submission, revealing that he had caused the disasters they blamed on the invaders. Lina sided with Adam, and the Mages quickly subdued the resistance leaders and their forces.

• Adam accepted the assignment and teleported with Sherlock Mage and Brandon Mage to the resistance camp in the Makalu Mountain Range.
• Lina and Kambi examined evidence of the Mage invasion and feared the Forest Elves had been abandoned by Adam and the City Lord.
• Adam announced his responsibility for the Dragon Plane’s turmoil and demanded the resistance organization surrender.
• The resistance leaders attacked Adam, but his Mage’s Armor and the Magic Array he had created defeated their efforts.
• Adam called Lina, who turned her plant magic against the resistance and knelt before him as her Master.
• Sherlock Mage and Brandon Mage restrained the fleeing resistance members, bringing the battle under control.

Adam and the mages subdued the Dragon Plane’s resistance, took control of its natives, and prepared to sacrifice the plane. Adam rescued the starving Frost Dragon hatchling Sophia and planned to make her his summoned creature; the chapter ended as Lind Hyperdimensional activated the sacrifice array and pure source energy entered the Dragon Plane.

• Brandon Mage and Sherlock Mage helped Adam capture the resistance members and transport them to the Dimensional Hub Platform, where Evans Mage received the group.
• The command headquarters placed the Dragon Plane’s races under contract, Lina became leader of the Forest Elves, and mages began modifying captured natives into powerful slaves and weapons.
• Lina told Adam that a Mage Master had captured Sophia, and Adam traded fifty Complete Aether Crystals to free the starving Frost Dragon hatchling.
• Adam fed Sophia nutrient solution, revealed himself as Big Dragon, and knocked her unconscious while planning to sign a summoning contract with her.
• The mages completed their cleanup and built the Plane Sacrifice array while Priscilla Hyperdimensional and others contained Khatos’s erosion.
• Lind Hyperdimensional ignited the array’s first Energy Node, lighting the hexagram across the Dragon Plane as pure source energy entered the world.

Lind Hyperdimensional sacrificed the Dragon Plane, giving the Mage World’s mages a small boost and revealing that Hyperdimensional Mages advanced by absorbing world origin. After months of combat and preparation, Adam joined an operation to retake a destroyed camp on Khatos’s Frontline.

• Lind Hyperdimensional captured the Dragon Plane’s weakened origin and transferred it into the Mage World, causing the plane to vanish and giving Adam a slight improvement in magic power.
• Evans Mage explained that Hyperdimensional Mages absorbed origin to advance from Level Four to Level Five, and Adam considered whether True Spirit Grand Mages could be worlds themselves.
• The mages evacuated captives from the Dragon Plane, including Lina and Sophia, then traveled to Khatos and fought for a month before entering the Frontline.
• A combat staff officer assigned Adam and the Level Four Mages Stanley, Campbell, and Sarona to clear enemies near Camp 760 and rebuild its defenses after a devastating raid.
• Adam met Wall, a Bloodline Type Body Refining Mage, who offered to protect him and modify his slaves in exchange for cooperation.

Adam helped the mages clear Radiation Creatures from Camp 760, then ended his exploration mission and returned to the Fifth Element Holy Tower. He retrieved Lina, several living specimens, and raw ore, and left the Devil to explain the unfamiliar laboratory to Lina while he checked on his experiments.

• Adam used his Magnetic Field and coordinated magic to strengthen the mages’ formation as they fought the Radiation Creatures at Camp 760.
• The three Level Four Mages defeated their opponents, and Mage Stanley released the mages to begin the final assault before telling Adam his exploration mission was over.
• Adam obtained approval to leave Khatos World, collected high-level living specimens, and returned to the Fifth Element Holy Tower.
• Adam retrieved Lina, the living specimens, and raw ore from the Holy Tower’s storage space, leaving the other Forest Elves and Sophia behind.
• Lina became overwhelmed after seeing the many Adams in the laboratory, so Adam told the Devil to explain matters while he checked whether the laboratory had completed its experiments.

After deriving Aether Coulomb’s Law and Gauss’s Law, Adam advanced to Second Rank and prepared to continue researching electromagnetism. He reorganized his slave contracts and arranged for Mage Meredith to modify Sophia, whose treatment remained undecided as Meredith questioned how her new magic circuits would be powered.

• Adam absorbed the clones’ research, derived Aether Coulomb’s Law and Gauss’s Law, and advanced to Second Rank.
• Adam learned that the clones had observed electromagnetic oscillations propagating through space and ordered them to continue their experiments.
• Adam selected and enhanced one hundred Forest Elves, sent the remaining elves to be sold, and signed a summoning contract with Sophia.
• Adam put Sophia to sleep, prepared a sealed laboratory for Radiation Creature samples, and requested advanced Alchemy Golems to restrain Level Four creatures.
• Mage Meredith arrived to modify Sophia, and Adam asked her to change Sophia’s ice attribute to water, give her an Elemental True Body, and install advanced spell circuits.
• Mage Meredith agreed that the changes were possible but asked Adam how the spell circuits would receive enough energy.

Adam commissioned Mage Meredith to modify Sophia and began researching electromagnetic waves, confirming that they traveled through Aether at the speed of light. The chapter ended with Meredith delivering the modified young dragon, now able to take two forms.

• Adam agreed to pay Mage Meredith to give Sophia a biological core, improve her fighting will, and conceal her magic aura from Plane Origins.
• The Devil revealed that Mage Meredith had nearly killed it after it mistook her for an ordinary maid in the Mission Area.
• Adam replaced his clones with stronger ones and used oscillators and detectors to confirm that electromagnetic waves propagated through Aether space.
• Adam measured the waves and calculated that their speed equaled the speed of light, while concluding that wave-particle duality remained beyond his current research.
• Adam directed his clones to research radio waves and began developing magic to observe electromagnetic wavelengths and frequencies.
• Mage Meredith returned with the modified, palm-sized young dragon, whose biological core and elemental body fit perfectly and whose body could take two forms.

Adam completed Sophia’s transformation into a powerful Level Three battle form, then resumed studying Radiation Creature energy beams. His experiments identified Gamma rays and beta rays, while the Devil left the Holy Tower for Meyer City.

• Mage Meredith explained Sophia’s two forms and spells, and Adam declined to modify the Forest Elves beyond their current level.
• Adam awakened Sophia and tested her ten-meter Battle Form, confirming that he could control her body and shelter inside it.
• Adam placed the slaves in a completed Summoning Space and began analyzing Radiation Creature energy beams with his clones.
• After detecting Gamma rays and finding material that blocked alpha rays, Adam released a Level Four creature and identified beta rays by their effect on a slave.
• Adam ordered the Alchemy Golems to silence the Level Four creature and continue the experiment, while the Devil fled toward Meyer City.

Adam completed the Electron True Body Cultivation Method, advanced to Level Three, and used radio waves to detect a distant plane. After entering it in secret, he was struck by sound waves and transformed into information to hide.

• Adam completed his Electron True Body calculations and advanced to become a Level Three Mage.
• Adam reviewed Mordo Tower's contracts, then learned from Victor Mage that radio communication had been developed successfully.
• Adam built an Electromagnetic Telescope in the void and, after six years, detected information from another plane.
• Adam traveled through the void, found a vast plane with a metallic-looking Crystal Wall System, and secretly entered it.
• Adam sensed the plane's sweeping presence, then transformed into information after sound waves shook his soul.

Adam’s Reincarnation Technique observed a desperate battle between the Nickel-Cadmium giants and the Gold Devourers, while failing to uncover how either species reproduced. As the giants prepared to sacrifice themselves rather than let the Gold Devourers consume the Origin Fire, Adam’s magic began gathering the flames released by their deaths.

• Nickel-Cadmium 328 and 329 rescued 337 from the Gold Devourers, then fell back toward Flame 123 as the giants fought across the battlefield.
• Gold Devourers overwhelmed Bronze 411, who detonated his Power Furnace and destroyed the creatures surrounding him.
• Flame 123 learned that supplies were nearly gone and reinforcements from Iron Fortress might not arrive, then ordered the giants to hold the line and protect the Origin Fire.
• Adam’s Reincarnation Technique failed to decipher the Gold Devourers’ reproduction or penetrate the giants’ protected Power Furnaces and Origin Fires.
• As the giants detonated their Power Furnaces and perished alongside the Gold Devourers, Adam’s Third Holy Tower magic gathered and stabilized the Origin Fires before they dispersed.

Adam used the Reincarnation Technique to enter an Origin Fire, where it willingly nurtured his new flame and shared its knowledge. After the Origin Fire passed on its final energy, Adam began forming his metal body deep underground.

• Adam escaped the Gold Devourers by entering the fire seed and descending a thousand kilometers underground.
• The Origin Fire cooperated with the Reincarnation Technique, and Adam's flame gradually formed as it transferred energy and information to him.
• Adam learned that Origin Fires gave metal life and realized they could potentially animate the Mage World's Alchemy Golems and mage Towers.
• Three months later, the Origin Fire passed its remaining energy to Adam, who extended part of his soul into the fire seed.
• Adam drew in surrounding ore, purified it, and began forming a Power Furnace from metal atoms.
