Chapter Summaries

Adam gave Iron 27 and Qi 31 improved aura simulators before heading with Sophia toward coordinates Garfield had recorded. Meanwhile, the Gold Devourers’ seven Apostles gathered under the Devourer’s order to capture Adam and prepare for war against the Titans.

• Iron 27 told Adam that the Gold Devourers had withdrawn from the newly expanded boundary, leaving much of their former territory nearly undefended.
• Adam gave Iron 27 and Qi 31 improved aura simulators and explained that their costly manufacturing method had been left in York City.
• Adam equipped Sophia with a simulator and flew toward the coordinates Garfield had recorded.
• The seven Apostles convened in the Land of Divine Revelation after the Devourer ordered them to capture Adam alive and destroy the Titans’ hope.
• The First Apostle urged war against the Titans, while the Fourth Apostle warned that the Gold Devourers still depended on them as food.
• The First Apostle explained that the Gold Devourers sought to free the source, evolve, and seize Adam’s world as a new source of food.

Adam's group reached the site where Lithium 15 had self-destructed, and Adam began turning low-level Gold Devourers into spies. Meanwhile, the Apostles agreed to wage war on the Titans, though Adam and the Titans remained unaware of the threat.

• The Apostles concluded that Adam's method of entering their hidden plane and his aid to the Titans made him a danger, and the First Apostle called for war.
• Adam, Iron 27, and Qi 31 reached the site of Lithium 15's self-destruction and discussed the recovery of its fire seed and the Titans' plans to Pass the Fire.
• Adam used Sophia's Dragon Breath to paralyze low-level Gold Devourers, then dissected one and learned it had little intelligence and self-destructed when separated from its command group.
• Adam summoned Lina and ordered her to parasitize the Gold Devourers with modified seeds that could imitate signals and control their movements.

Adam explained how his Gold Devourers could gather intelligence and criticized the Titans for relying too heavily on strength, then led them into a region crowded with enemy patrols. He created a Thunder Giant to distract a Gold Devourer patrol and demonstrated the destructive power of magic.

• Adam used Gold Devourers as biological scouts and urged Iron 27 and Qi 31 to develop specialized tactics, even if doing so required sacrifices.
• Adam analyzed the scouts’ reports and asked Iron 27 and Qi 31 for emergency control access so he could take them into a Space Wrinkle if necessary.
• The group found far more Gold Devourer patrols than Garfield had encountered before, and Garfield warned that something had changed.
• When Iron 27 offered to draw away three intersecting patrols, Adam instead built a Nickel-Cadmium Titan around a Thunder Giant and sent it toward them.
• Adam made the Thunder Giant hurl a Thunder Spear into a patrol, destroying nearby Gold Devourers and leaving Qi 31 stunned by the power of magic.

Adam discovered evidence that the Gold Devourers were preparing for Total War after finding an Apostle's nest and learning that six Apostles had left their defense zones. He decided to press on with the mission, believing the current moment might be their safest chance to reach the target.

• Adam explained that his Thunder Giants were summoned elemental creatures, then used more of them to lure Gold Devourer patrols away from the recording array.
• Adam examined the array's images and found a giant demonic shadow; Iron 27 and Qi 31 identified it as an Apostle and an Apostle's nest.
• Qi 31 asked Adam to relay the discovery to the King, and Adam used the sprite he had left in York City to send the message.
• Garfield warned that the Gold Devourers might be targeting Adam, then retrieved seventeen recording arrays from around the Warning Zone.
• Adam and the Titans learned that six Apostles had left their defense zones, and Iron 27 concluded that Total War was imminent.
• Adam refused to abandon the mission, marked a route to the target, and asked the Titans to draw the Gold Devourers away.

Adam blasted a path through the Gold Devourers and raced toward an intricate ore structure inside the Warning Zone. He reached the zone’s shield, where a seven-colored beam suddenly appeared in front of him.

• Adam gave Iron 27 and Qi 31 high-grade Aether Crystals and asked them to hold off the Gold Devourers for thirty minutes while he entered the Warning Zone.
• Adam summoned Lina and Sophia to help distract the Gold Devourers, then used a Magic-Guide Construct to unleash a composite spell that destroyed at least twenty thousand of them.
• Adam charged through the breach as Iron 27, Qi 31, Sophia, and Lina split up to draw the Gold Devourers away and disrupt their orders.
• Adam dispersed his construct and used his Electron True Body and Electric-Light Dash to evade the Gold Devourers and reach the Warning Zone.
• A demonic shadow appeared on the Warning Zone’s Defense Shield, and a seven-colored beam shot toward Adam without warning.

Adam fought through the Gold Devourers’ defenses and reached the mysterious pyramid at the heart of the Warning Zone. He recognized its energy-gathering structure as a possible component of a continent-spanning altar.

• A seven-colored Energy Beam struck Adam as he left the electric grid, but he dispersed his Electron True Body, endured the attack, and shattered it with a high-frequency electromagnetic blade.
• The Defense Shield’s ripples triggered the Gold Devourers’ defenses, and swarms of them attacked Adam.
• Adam used the Level Four Chaos Shelter to withstand the attacks, then entered Overclocking State and cast his conceptual magic, Magnetic Cutting, to destroy the Defense Shield and devastate the nearest Gold Devourers.
• After the spell left him nearly exhausted, Adam summoned his Magic-Guide Construct and used its energy supply and Life Support Device to recover as he flew toward the designated building.
• Adam arrived at a nine-tiered golden pyramid that drew energy from giant nests, purified it, and sent it from its peak into space; he suspected it was part of a continent-spanning altar.

Adam entered the pyramid to investigate its energy system and discovered that the nests sustained nearly dead mother bodies through a network of conduits. Garfield recognized the structure as an altar used by the Dirubos to manufacture void-traveling war fortresses, and Adam found what appeared to be one of the fortress’s components behind a membrane.

• Adam ignored Garfield’s warnings and entered a ninth-level nest while Gold Devourers swarmed outside the pyramid.
• Adam found a dying mother body connected to neighboring nests by conduits that carried energy through the pyramid.
• Adam traced the conduits through the central nests toward the pyramid’s core without killing any mother bodies.
• Garfield recalled that an ancient Devil inheritance linked the altar to the Dirubos and the manufacture of war fortresses capable of traveling through the void.
• Adam connected the name Dirus to the Titan God’s disappearance and learned Garfield’s information came from an inheritance at least seven hundred thousand years old.
• Adam broke through a diamond-like membrane and identified the strange, lifeless object beyond it as a component.

Adam discovered that the Devourer was building a component that could turn the Titan Plane into a war fortress, then fled the altar as the Gold Devourers awakened. Surrounded in the Warning Zone, he assembled his strongest form and prepared to fight two Hyperdimensional Gold Devourers.

• Adam concluded that the Devourer might be using Dirus's legacy to create a loyal Void race and leave the Titan Plane, then abandoned the altar and raced outward.
• The Fifth Apostle learned that Adam had invaded its outermost altar and ordered the Gold Devourers in the Warning Zone to kill him.
• Adam emerged into the Outside World as the pyramids and their nests awakened, and countless Gold Devourers flooded the Warning Zone.
• Adam assessed the approaching forces, formed his Lesser Electric-Element Thunder True Body, and fused Garfield's fireseed into the Magic-Guide Construct.
• Adam declared that he would test his strength against the Hyperdimensional Gold Devourers.

Adam fought his way through the Gold Devourers' territory, using magic and precise control to kill thousands while pressing toward the Warning Zone's edge. When a Hyperdimensional Gold Devourer attacked, Adam faced it directly and split its Energy Pillar with the Judgment Verdict Sword.

• Adam led Garfield through the Gold Devourers, killing thousands with Iron Sand Swords, thunder, and Elemental Missiles.
• Garfield warned Adam that two Level Five Gold Devourers were nearby, while Adam dismissed them as pseudo-Level Five lifeforms.
• The first Hyperdimensional Gold Devourer awakened and fired a seven-colored Energy Beam at Adam, who countered it with electromagnetic barriers and a Plasma Cannon.
• The Hyperdimensional Gold Devourer charged Adam with a black Energy Pillar, while Garfield surrounded them with Space Wrinkles.
• Adam gathered the power of his thunder true body and the Magic-Guide Construct into a deep-blue lightsword, split the Energy Pillar, and struck with the Judgment Verdict Sword.

Adam destroyed the Gold Devourers and their altar, but pushed himself past his limits to do so. He returned to the Material World badly injured as the Fifth Apostle discovered that Adam had destroyed Father God’s altar.

• Adam severed the Hyperdimensional Gold Devourer’s tentacles, blinded it with the Death Gaze, and redirected its attack to destroy the pyramid altar.
• When a second Hyperdimensional Gold Devourer attacked, Adam consumed Garfield’s fire seed and burned the Magic-Guide Construct to reach the peak of Level Four.
• Adam used Judgment Verdict to kill both Gold Devourers and shatter space across a hundred kilometers, then blocked the Devourer’s attack from the source.
• Adam returned to the Material World, spat out Garfield, and sent him to meet up with Iron 27 while he hovered, severely injured.
• The Fifth Apostle tore apart the Gold Devourer used for communication and raged that Adam had destroyed Father God’s altar.

The Devourer punished the Apostles after Adam destroyed the Warning Zone and ordered them to capture him alive. Adam escaped into Titan territory with Garfield, Iron 27, and Qi 31, recovered from his overexertion, and returned to Iron Fortress, where King Swasey demanded an explanation.

• The Devourer brutally punished the Fifth Apostle and ordered the Apostles to begin the war and capture Adam alive.
• Iron 27 and Qi 31 saw the Warning Zone destroyed, and Garfield arrived with the hibernating Adam and urged them to flee.
• Garfield recalled Sophia and Lina, then led the group away from the Gold Devourers Territory while the Apostles prepared to pursue them.
• After crossing into Titan territory, Sophia used Water Therapy on Adam, who woke and restored his magic power with an Aether Crystal.
• Adam teleported Iron 27 and Qi 31 back to Iron Fortress, where King Swasey demanded an explanation for what he had done.

Adam showed King Swasey and the Titan Kings the recording of his mission, revealing the Gold Devourers’ strength and the Devourer he had encountered. Inside the Titan God’s body, King Faste confirmed the Origin had deteriorated beyond saving, leaving the Titans with no choice but to trust Adam and the world behind him.

• King Swasey angrily confronted Iron 27 and Qi 31, then let Adam explain what had happened.
• Adam showed the Titans the mission recording, shocking them with the Gold Devourers’ capabilities and his victory over the Hyperdimensional Gold Devourers.
• When the recording failed to show the Devourer, King Swasey asked Adam to bring his fire seed and led him to the Titan God’s body, where the Titan Kings had gathered.
• King Faste asked Adam about the altar, and Adam shared what the Devil had told him along with his own theories.
• King Faste showed Adam the Origin’s former appearance and admitted it was beyond saving, so the Titans had no choice but to trust Adam and his world.

Adam questioned the Titans about the Gold Devourers’ origins and their rise in power, learning that the Titans’ pursuit of evolution and reluctance to sacrifice their godhood treasure had enabled the Devourer’s growth. After the kings admitted they had brought the disaster upon themselves, Adam asked whether they could trust the mages, then returned to his factory to review his battle and build new constructs.

• Adam asked the Royal Clan about the Gold Devourers, the Titan God’s warning, and King Lancelot’s strength, and King Faste explained what the Titans had discovered in the ruins.
• The kings explained that the Devourer first grew stronger by consuming Royal Clan Origin Fires, then seized the godhood treasure in the Origin and grew further.
• Adam asked why the Titans had not destroyed the Gold Devourers when they were weak, and Swasey admitted that the Titans’ hopes and desire for power had let the rebellion escape their control.
• King Swasey said the Titans had brought their disaster upon themselves, and Adam warned that the Devourer’s cocoon had nearly absorbed the Origin before asking how they planned to stop it.
• King Faste asked whether the Titans could trust Adam and the mages, while Adam later returned to his factory in York City to make Magic-Guide Constructs and assess his strength.

Adam sent the Titans to destroy Gold Devourer altars while he supplied them with weapons and prepared to connect to the Mage World. After eight days of fighting, the Space Anchor reached ninety-nine percent, but the Royal Clan had lost eleven members.

• Adam explained that the Titans had to trust him and attack the altars to speed up the Space Anchor's coordinate analysis, while he supplied weapons, equipment, and energy.
• King Swasey and two Royal Clan members attacked an altar using Fortress Annihilation Cannons.
• The Royal Clan launched covert raids on the Gold Devourers' altars with Adam's map and modified Magic Scrolls, raising the Space Anchor's progress to eighty-one percent in five days.
• The Gold Devourers counterattacked on the fifth day as fighting spread across the frontline fortresses.
• The Space Anchor reached ninety-nine percent by the eighth day, while eleven of the forty-seven Royal Clan members died.
• Adam entered the Titan God's remnants, and King Faste said the Titans had fulfilled their promise; Adam asked to be taken to the Titan God's Power Furnace so he could connect to the Mage World.

Adam guided the Titan Kings in channeling their power through the Titan God's Power Furnace to break the Devourer's blockade and connect to the Magic Net. He logged into the Magic Net and requested an urgent connection to the Fifth Element Holy Tower, leaving the Titan Plane's situation ready to be reported.

• Adam told the Titan Kings that reinforcements from the Mage World would arrive within three years at most.
• The Titan Kings gathered at the God Clan's Power Furnace and asked Adam what they needed to do.
• Adam had thirty-six Titan Kings channel their energy through him, forming a powerful sword of light.
• Adam struck the void with the sword, breaking through the Devourer's obstruction and revealing the Devourer beyond the plane's source.
• The Devourer sent gray energy to block the sword, but Adam pierced it and tore open a breach in the Crystal Wall System.
• Adam's soul connected to the Magic Net, and Explorer Mage Adam requested a top-priority connection to the Fifth Element Holy Tower.

Adam survived the Devourer’s attack by using a discontinuous Mage’s Armor, but the kings were left exhausted and the connection to the Holy Tower remained cut off. In the Mage World, George Wilde recognized Adam’s intelligence about the Dirus Clan as a potential threat and contacted the Holy Tower War General Command.

• The Devourer attacked Adam with gray matter, and the Mage’s Armor protected him long enough for him to create layers of defenses in the Overclocking State.
• Adam used a Dirichlet Function model to make the Mage’s Armor discontinuous, breaking the gray matter into fragments that he destroyed.
• The kings’ Origin Fires faded as they ran out of energy, and Adam replenished them with Aether Crystals after the attack ended.
• Adam told King Faste that his request for reinforcements had been uploaded, but the Devourer had severed his connection to the Holy Tower.
• Duty mages at the Fifth Element Holy Tower found Adam’s data packet transferred through a higher-priority channel, and a Hyperdimensional Mage forwarded its intelligence and coordinates to an Upper-Level Authority Unit.
• George Wilde requested a connection to the Holy Tower War General Command and reported intelligence concerning the Dirus Clan.

The Devourer launched total war, sending a vast swarm of Gold Devourers against the Titans’ Frontline. As the Titans fought desperately to defend their cities, Adam discussed with King Swasey how to strengthen their forces and reshape their defenses.

• Wilder Hyperdimensional reported the Dirus Clan intelligence to the General Command, where Mayer True Spirit Grand Mage had sent an avatar to hear it.
• The Devourer ordered the seven apostles to begin the war immediately and warned them that failure would mean their replacement.
• Gold Devourers surged toward the Frontline as the altars redirected their energy, and Iron 27 organized Iron Fortress’s defenses for the coming battle.
• Titan commanders across the Frontline vowed to defend their cities, while Titans of every role fought the Gold Devourers in a costly, all-out war.
• After ten days of fighting, the Frontline had risen three meters from piled-up corpses, and Adam discussed abandoning some cities and transforming the rest with King Swasey.

Adam helped King Swasey convert Titan cities into floating cities, then Blade City fell and the Seventh Apostle breached the Defense Line. Adam and King Swasey rushed to the battlefield, where Adam detected an underground enemy and ordered a bombardment.

• Adam activated a Magnetic Levitation Magic Array that lifted York City, then traveled with King Swasey to move other cities.
• After seventeen days, Adam had most inland cities flying and urged King Swasey to abandon some Frontline fortresses.
• A blast destroyed Blade City, split the Defense Line, and let the Seventh Apostle and Royal Clan Gold Devourers enter the interior.
• Adam told King Swasey to leave the Seventh Apostle to him and take command of the other Gold Devourers as they headed to the battlefield.
• Adam detected something three hundred meters underground and ordered King Swasey to fire the Fortress Annihilation Cannon.
• A scarlet Energy Pillar rose from underground and collided with the cannon.

Adam and King Swasey fought the Seventh Apostle and five Royal Clan Gold Devourers, but the enemies concentrated their attacks on Adam. Adam escaped into the turbulent void and reappeared thirty kilometers away, while King Swasey held the Apostle back.

• Adam transformed and, with Sophia's help, fought off the Gold Devourers while King Swasey battled the Seventh Apostle.
• Adam reshaped the ground to force the burrowing Seventh Apostle to emerge, then helped King Swasey fire the Fortress Cannon at it.
• The Seventh Apostle detonated one of its offspring to escape the cannon blast and charged King Swasey, while Adam tried to draw the five Gold Devourers toward a distant trap.
• King Swasey realized the Seventh Apostle was targeting Adam, and the five Gold Devourers blocked Adam's path and attacked him alongside the Apostle.
• Adam used a Chaos Shelter scroll and Magnetic Cutting to enter the turbulent void, while King Swasey severed part of the Apostle and dragged it back.
• Adam evaded the Apostle's heavenly fire and emerged thirty kilometers away before flying off.

King Swasey held off the Seventh Apostle while Adam lured the Hyperdimensional Gold Devourers toward an ambush, only to discover the Blade Envoy waiting inside a sealed God-Gifted Space. The Blade Envoy attacked Adam, who entered the Overclocking State to fight back.

• King Swasey beat the Seventh Apostle and followed it after it escaped by abandoning part of its body, while Adam instructed him to lure it toward him.
• Adam led five Hyperdimensional Gold Devourers toward his Floating Fortresses and used their Rune Arrays to bombard them as he prepared an escape route.
• The Gold Devourers accelerated and trapped Adam in a red net, but he found a gap and blasted through it.
• The Blade Envoy appeared, sealed Adam inside a two-kilometer area, and revealed it had tracked him using a Seed-of-Fire Fluctuation Receiver that carried King Swasey's voice.
• The Blade Envoy charged at Adam, who activated his Magic-Guide Construct and challenged its confidence in defeating him.
