Chapter Summaries

Adam tested his Mechanical Arm and developed it into Embedded Armor for Newborn Titans, then fitted a prototype to Iron Alloy. Iron Alloy began testing the arm’s strength in Adam’s workshop.

• Adam tested the Mechanical Arm by attaching it to himself and smashing a piece of iron ore.
• Adam decided that Newborn Titans could wear Embedded Armor across their bodies and refused the Devil’s request to be summoned out.
• Iron Alloy, unhappy with his comfortable work in York City, followed the sound of Adam’s test and found him in the workshop.
• Adam invited Iron Alloy to test the Embedded Armor, and Iron Alloy eagerly agreed.
• Adam attached the Mechanical Arm to Iron Alloy’s right shoulder, adjusted its Energy Circuit, and told him to use his greatest strength on the iron ore.

Adam equipped Iron Alloy with a custom set of Kinetic Energy armor and waited for him to prove its value on the Frontline. As Adam built up a stock of armor for other Titans, Qi 31 doubted it would help the stronger fighters, while Adam awaited the chance to demonstrate its potential.

• Adam let Iron Alloy keep the Mechanical Arm as an advance and promised to forge a full set of armor tailored to him.
• Adam studied Iron Alloy’s body and concluded that embedded armor could quickly strengthen Newborn Titans.
• Adam completed Iron Alloy’s Kinetic Energy armor, which could reshape into weapons and give him strength comparable to an ordinary knight.
• Iron Alloy left for the Frontline, and Adam asked Iron 27 and Ranfeng 222 to watch over him and return him for regular maintenance.
• Over two months, Adam sold or advanced Kinetic Energy arms to several Newborns and stocked armor for knight Titans, but no one else accepted full-body modification.
• Qi 31 gave Adam alloy formulas and Titan data but doubted his products would benefit Frontline fighters; Adam waited for Iron Alloy’s return to prove their worth.

Iron Alloy returned from the Frontline with proof that Adam’s embedded armor could withstand Gold Devourers, prompting a wager with Qi 31 over whether Iron Alloy could defeat the Newborn Titans challenging him. Iron Alloy won, and Qi 31 promised to introduce Adam to high-level Titans seeking modifications.

• Iron Alloy returned to Adam’s workshop and praised the armor for holding up against Gold Devourers on the Frontline.
• A Newborn Titan challenged Iron Alloy to a fight, and Adam agreed to let him accept.
• Qi 31 wagered that Iron Alloy would fight all thirteen Titans together, offering to promote Adam and bring him high-level customers if Iron Alloy won.
• Iron Alloy faced the group and knocked down six Titans while Adam continued working on his Power Furnace Flexible Shield.
• Qi 31 conceded the wager and left to introduce Adam to high-level Titans, and Iron Alloy came in excitedly to report his victory.

Adam’s body-modification work impressed a group of elite Knight Titans, and Qi 31 realized Adam could enter Titans’ bodies to repair their Power Furnaces and Energy Circuits. Qi 31 deliberately damaged his own Power Furnace and asked Adam to repair him, leaving Adam beginning the procedure.

• Iron Alloy returned to the Frontline with a free pressure-boosting greatsword, and the Newborn Titans followed by buying embedded armor on credit.
• Five elite Knight Titans visited Adam’s workshop, where Adam installed armor that strengthened them and repaired flaws in their bodies and Power Furnaces.
• The five described Adam’s unusual repair method to Qi 31, who rushed to the workshop to question Adam about it.
• After Adam confirmed he could enter Titans’ bodies and repair them, Qi 31 broke part of his own Power Furnace and granted Adam full access to his body.
• Adam dissolved into Nanobots and entered Qi 31, discovering that his body, Energy Circuits, and Power Furnace were severely damaged.

Adam repaired Qi 31 and learned that King Swasey’s Origin Fire was being corrupted by Gold Devourers language. He agreed to treat the King in a year, leaving him time to reach Commander and consider using a Soul Slave to conceal his identity.

• Adam used his robots and a supply of air-element alloy to repair Qi 31’s body and study the Titans’ Seed of Fire.
• Qi 31 asked Adam whether he could heal an Origin Fire and revealed that a Gold Devourers attack had been corroding King Swasey for fifteen years.
• Qi 31 explained that King Swasey had at most two years left and that a Quasi-Royal Clan mother body had nearly triggered war while the King was weakened.
• Adam agreed to treat King Swasey in a year, after advancing to Commander and restoring his strength.
• Adam and the Devil discussed how a Soul Slave might let Adam treat the King without exposing his identity.

Adam planned to fuse the devil’s will with Origin Fire and spent months accumulating energy and materials while expanding his armor business. By the thirteenth month, he had gathered what he needed to advance and had nearly completed the devil’s space-metal body.

• Adam told the devil he intended to ignite its will with Origin Fire to attempt a fusion and evolution, despite the risk that it would die permanently.
• Adam’s Kinetic Energy Suits, Knight-rank armor, and Flexible Shields became popular, earning him Battle Merit and overwhelming orders.
• Adam bought materials for his own Level Three body and began forging a durable, gravity-array-equipped body for the devil to use when meeting the Titan royal family.
• Qi 31 regularly supplied Adam with advanced knowledge and Energy Blocks, while urging him to visit the Royal City before advancing to Commander Rank.
• In the thirteenth month, Adam completed his pre-advancement accumulation and preliminarily finished the space metal for the devil’s new body.

Adam advanced his own life form in a hidden underground chamber, then began transforming the Devil into a Seed form using his Origin Fire. The Devil's transformation proceeded without pain, and it began learning to condense a metal body as it entered the spatial metal.

• Adam left York City and hid a thousand kilometers underground so he could advance and transform the Devil without the Titans discovering them.
• Adam completed his advancement, gaining a powerful Magnetic Field that could partly conceal the Devil from the Origin's search.
• Adam tested the Magnetic Field, confirmed it could conceal their activity, and summoned the Devil to a container filled with Energy Blocks.
• Adam split off half of his Origin Fire and sent it into the Devil, igniting its body and beginning the transformation.
• The Devil said the process felt comfortable, reported that its Negative Energy was burning away, and began condensing energy before sinking into the spatial metal.

Adam transformed the Devil into a Space Titan body and traveled with Qi 31 to the Royal City to attempt to heal King Swasey. He arrived at the building where the king was being treated, while Qi 31 pleaded with him to succeed.

• Adam completed the Devil's Space Titan body, tested its spatial abilities, and used Aether Crystals to bring it to the level-two Critical Point.
• Adam returned to York City and told Qi 31 he had become a commander; Qi 31 took him toward the Royal City to treat King Swasey.
• Qi 31 explained that Gold Devourers were gathering and that the Titans might face extinction if King Swasey fell, while Adam learned that no new Titan King had been born for thousands of years.
• After four days and nights of uninterrupted flight, Qi 31 brought Adam through the Royal City's defenses to the building where King Swasey was inside.
• Qi 31 said he lacked permission to enter and begged Adam to heal King Swasey.

Adam entered King Swasey’s enormous, decaying body and met the dying Titan King near his Power Furnace. Swasey revealed that the Royal Clan had watched Adam since his arrival, and Adam introduced himself as a Level Three Formal Mage.

• Adam walked through King Swasey’s abandoned Energy Circuit toward the Power Furnace, sensing the King’s pain and the Origin Fire’s growing energy.
• A projection resembling Mage Adam appeared before Adam, and Swasey introduced himself as King of the Titans.
• Swasey told Adam that the Royal Clan had monitored him since he entered the Titan Plane, including his hidden body and the Devil he had made into an Origin Fire.
• Adam asked whether Swasey’s injuries were real, and Swasey confirmed that he was close to death while assuring Adam the Titans bore him no ill will.
• Swasey praised Adam’s help with the Iron Fortress mission and asked whether he was powerful among his own people, so Adam revealed his main body and introduced himself as a Level Three Formal Mage.

Adam negotiated with King Swasey for permission to treat his injuries, arguing that the Titans had no other choice but to trust him. King Swasey agreed to the treatment, offering the Titans’ friendship if Adam succeeded and threatening him if he failed.

• Adam learned that the Titans once had a member of the God Clan and now had forty-seven royals.
• Adam told King Swasey he was eighty percent certain he could treat him if allowed to control his body and fire seed.
• King Swasey recalled how the Gold Devourers betrayed King Lancelot and asked why he should trust Adam.
• Adam said the Titans had no other choice, and he declared that mages always fought and won; King Swasey said he believed him.
• Adam explained that the Mage World sought knowledge and energy through contracts and cooperation with civilizations like the Titans.
• King Swasey agreed to let Adam treat him, promising the Titans’ friendship if he succeeded and threatening him if he failed.

Adam questioned King Swasey about the Titan Plane’s Origin and learned that the Devourer had invaded it, severing the Titans’ path of advancement. He began preparing a teleportation spell to test whether he could enter the plane with his true body, while King Swasey revealed how severely the Titans lacked energy.

• Adam explained his magic-based existence and told King Swasey that Devils could be transformed into Origin Fire, offering to help the Titans find them through trade.
• King Swasey revealed that he was the last Titan to advance to the royal race, and that no Titan had advanced in 4,300 years.
• King Swasey explained that the Devourer had invaded the Origin after its rebellion, while a protective mechanism left by the missing Titan God delayed its complete takeover.
• Adam asked King Swasey for help and protection while he tested a conjecture about the Origin, and King Swasey agreed.
• Adam began inscribing a teleportation array using Aether Crystals and learned that royal Titans replenished their energy with General Rank Energy Blocks.

Adam confirmed that the Titan Plane’s origin was asleep, allowing his main body to enter and begin treating King Swasey. He rewrote the defenses inside King Swasey’s spark of fire and gained a temporary advantage against the Gold Devouring Virus.

• Adam fed King Swasey a thousand units of Aether Crystals to ensure the treatment had enough energy.
• Adam activated the Teleportation Array and discovered that the Titan Plane’s origin could no longer detect abnormalities.
• The Devil introduced itself to King Swasey as Garfield, a Newborn Titan, and praised the prospect of cooperation between the Titan Plane and the Mage World.
• Adam used his main body to open the other gate of the Teleportation Array, returned to King Swasey, and began the treatment by merging his spark of fire with the King’s.
• Adam sent the atomic Nanobots into King Swasey’s body and rewrote the defenses of the remaining territory, temporarily forcing the Gold Devouring Virus to retreat while he worked on converting the rune system to the Seed of Fire system.

Adam used runes to transcode King Swasey’s Seed of Fire and make him Adam’s hyperdimensional avatar while treating his injuries and defeating the viruses. After the Titans mistook the disappearance of the Origin Fire for betrayal, they realized the King had recovered and saluted Garfield; Adam then prepared a vessel for a second reincarnation.

• Adam decided to transcode the Seed of Fire into runes to make the fire-seed virus lose its target and to gain control of King Swasey.
• While Adam worked inside the King, Garfield waited under guard as the Titans watched King Swasey’s body begin to heal.
• The King’s Origin Fire flared and vanished, prompting the Titans to accuse Adam of betrayal and attack Garfield.
• After a few seconds, the Titans stopped and saluted Garfield, revealing that King Swasey had recovered.
• Adam finished transcoding King Swasey into his hyperdimensional avatar and completed the Antivirus Program after spending seven thousand Complete Aether Crystals.
• Adam summoned a tiny winged creature from the Summoning Space to serve as a vessel for the Reincarnation Technique.

Adam used the Reincarnation Technique to transfer King Swasey’s Origin Fire into Sophia and cure him of the viruses, then restored the fire seed to his body. King Swasey recovered and pledged the Titans’ friendship to Adam, who warned that he had no Aether Crystals left.

• Adam synchronized with King Swasey’s Origin Fire and transferred it into Sophia’s Battle Form, while the virus-ridden body began to collapse.
• Adam dispelled the technique on his main body and controlled the Antivirus Program as Sophia carried the fire seed out of King Swasey’s body.
• King Gell ordered the Titans to wait, and Sophia flew back into King Swasey’s body after circling it and exhaling Dragon Breath.
• Adam eliminated the viruses and returned King Swasey’s fire seed to him, restoring the Titan King’s body and awakening him.
• King Swasey thanked Adam and pledged the Titans’ eternal friendship, while Adam said he had no Aether Crystals left.

Adam learned that the Devourer was eroding the Titan Plane’s origin and decided to remain in the plane to support the Titans’ war against the Gold Devourers. He proposed using his research to double ordinary Titans’ combat strength, and asked King Swasey for Battle Merit to obtain resources.

• King Swasey granted Adam authority equal to his own among the Titans, except over core secrets, and Adam left his body with Sophia.
• Adam explained the Devourer and the Titan Plane’s origin to Qi 31, who forgave him, and Adam said he would stay to support the war.
• Adam told King Swasey he could help separate the battlefield responsibilities of the royal family and ordinary Titan warriors.
• Adam offered to improve ordinary Titans’ combat strength through his research, and King Swasey asked what support he needed.
• Adam requested a great deal of Battle Merit so he could mobilize resources.

Adam secured the Titans’ support to strengthen their forces and improve Energy Block production, then returned to York City to prepare for a confrontation with the Devourer. After the first wave of resources arrived, he began building a factory and started experiments on Conversion Fungi.

• King Swasey agreed to provide Adam with the resources he needed, and Adam requested samples of every type of Conversion Fungi to test whether he could increase Energy Block production.
• Adam explained to Garfield that the Devourer had sealed the Titan Plane and that he planned to strengthen the Titans so they could hold it back while he contacted the Mage World.
• Adam gave Garfield the Space Anchor and tasked him with collecting coordinates, warning him not to lose it.
• Five days later, Qi 31 delivered a year’s worth of Titan resources and the Conversion Fungi samples to Adam.
• Qi 31 helped Adam establish a Smelting Factory in York City while Titan wise men and their students gathered to assist his research.
• Adam laid out the factory plans and began experimenting on the Conversion Fungi.

Adam tasked Lina and the Forest Elves with improving Conversion Fungi, then prepared the Titans’ factory for production by directing them to fill its energy channels with Energy Blocks. He positioned his Mithril body at the junction of the tracks and began setting up an unexplained process.

• Adam summoned Lina and asked her to improve the Conversion Fungi’s energy production and reproduction.
• Lina transformed the fungi into a more advanced form, accepted the task, and asked to remain by Adam’s side afterward; Adam agreed.
• Qi 31 questioned Adam about his plans for the factory, but Adam redirected him to report on construction progress.
• The Titans rapidly built the Magnetization Smelting Factory, which became a High-Tech Industrial Park as wise men established universities there.
• Adam instructed the Titans to fill the factory’s energy channels with Energy Blocks, arranged his Mithril body along the tracks, and melted the Power Furnace around its burning Origin Fire.

Adam established a Magnetic Smelting Magic Array that healed and strengthened Titans, then spent a year transforming York City into the Titan Continent’s industrial center and greatly increasing the Titan race’s strength. The royal family grew alarmed by Adam’s ability to dismantle and control Titans and their Seeds of Fire, and feared what his people might do.

• Adam activated the Magnetic Smelting Magic Array, which healed injured Titans and could strengthen weak Seeds of Fire.
• Adam requested neodymium, iron, and boron to produce rubidium magnets for his factory and battle body.
• Over the following year, York City expanded as Adam’s factory supplied Titans with advanced alloys, weapons, armor, and Weapon Space technology.
• Adam gained immense prestige, and his inventions helped bring about a major increase in the Titan race’s strength.
• Forty-seven royal family members reviewed Adam’s products and abilities, while King Swasey and the others voiced fears about his control over Titan bodies and Seeds of Fire.

King Swasey announced that Adam had improved the Conversion Fungi, giving the Titans a stronger, more reliable energy supply, and revealed that Adam planned to investigate the Gold Devourers Territory. After preparing new constructs for himself, Sophia, and Lina, Adam received the Royal Clan’s approval and a squad of Quasi-Royal Clan warriors for the mission, on the condition that he avoid provoking a war.

• King Swasey told the Kings that the new Conversion Fungi doubled energy production efficiency, replenished energy four times faster, and could restore corrupted land or parasitize bodies.
• King Swasey revealed that Adam had shared most production techniques and was leaving for the Gold Devourers Territory after Garfield discovered something possibly related to the hidden Plane Coordinates.
• Adam upgraded his Titan body into a Magic-Guide Construct and commissioned constructs for Sophia and Lina.
• Adam completed the three constructs and waited for King Swasey’s response to his request for support.
• King Swasey approved sending Quasi-Royal Clan warriors with Adam, who promised to share mission information with the Titans.
• King Swasey required Adam not to cause too much disturbance or provoke a war before the Titans were ready.

Adam persuaded the Titan royals to let him scout the Gold Devourer territory and prepared to investigate the enemy’s motives and plans. He left Iron Fortress with Iron 27 and Qi 31, carrying out the dangerous mission himself after taking control of the Space Titan body from Garfield.

• Adam assured King Swasey that he would not provoke a war and explained that he wanted to learn why the Gold Devourers remained in the Titan Plane and what they were planning.
• King Swasey accepted that the Titans lacked answers and allowed Adam to proceed with his mission.
• Iron 27 welcomed Adam’s return and acknowledged the improvements Adam had brought to Iron Fortress and its clansmen.
• Adam prepared Iron 27 to shrink and brought him and Qi 31 as companions, while Garfield’s spatial ability limited how many could be concealed.
• After the supplies arrived, Garfield gave Adam the Space Anchor and destination coordinates, and Adam took control of the Space Titan body.
• Adam left Iron Fortress with Iron 27 and Qi 31 and headed into Gold Devourer territory, which no Titan had entered in over four thousand years.
