Chapter Summaries

Adam fought the Blade Messenger inside the sealed God-Gifted Space, using his upgraded Electron True Body and taunts to exploit its close-combat limitations. Their attacks shattered the space, leaving the Blade Messenger stunned as Adam began gathering energy in the Floating Fortress.

• Adam filled the sealed two-kilometer space with an electric grid and attacked the Blade Messenger from many apparent positions.
• The Blade Messenger cut through Adam’s lightning and unleashed blade-light attacks, but it could not find or reach his true body.
• Adam taunted the Blade Messenger, endured its magma attack, and countered with elemental spells, Iron Sand Swords, and Super Electromagnetic Cannons.
• Their attacks destabilized God-Gifted Space until it shattered like glass.
• The Blade Messenger froze in disbelief, and the Floating Fortress began gathering energy with a five-count countdown.

Adam’s forces destroyed the Blade Envoy and the five Hyperdimensional Gold Devourers, while King Swasey fought the Seventh Apostle to keep it occupied. After the Seventh Apostle learned that the Blade Envoy had fallen, it rushed toward Adam, who prepared to move rather than wait for the next attack.

• Adam trapped the Blade Envoy inside a ring of cities and Floating Fortresses as it ordered the five Hyperdimensional Gold Devourers to attack him.
• Adam’s Energy Pillars killed the five Gold Devourers, and he cut the surviving Blade Envoy into ten thousand pieces.
• King Swasey destroyed his receiver and chased after the Seventh Apostle, but the Apostle blocked his way and fought him.
• The Seventh Apostle was struck by Energy Beams and learned that Adam had killed the Blade Envoy, so it flew toward him.
• Adam told Garfield he only needed to create an opening for King Swasey, and Garfield suggested they go find their enemies.

Adam and the Titans used a coordinated Floating Fortress strike to kill the Seventh Apostle, then transformed their frontline defenses while the Gold Devourers fell strangely quiet. In Royal City, King Faste revealed that the Devourer was seeking the Seed Source, a relic that could let it become a god.

• Garfield directed the Floating Fortresses to fire a massive Energy Pillar at the Seventh Apostle, badly wounding it, and King Swasey attacked before it could drag Adam down with it.
• Five days after the Seventh Apostle's death, the Gold Devourers withdrew from the high-level battlefield, and the Titans approved Adam's plan to transform their frontline fortresses.
• Adam recruited the Forest Elves to cultivate Conversion Fungi and worked with Garfield to equip the fortresses with magnetic levitation arrays.
• The Titans completed the transformations, contracted their defense line, and abandoned sixty percent of their territory as the Gold Devourers watched without intervening.
• King Faste told Adam that the Titan God's treasure was the Seed Source, the origin's First Wisp of Origin Fire, and that the Devourer would become a god if it consumed it.

Adam convinced the Titan Kings that the Devourer had recalled the Gold Devourer Royal Clan to sacrifice them and rapidly consume the Seed Source. The Titans launched a desperate invasion of Gold Devourer territory, while the Devourer’s sacrifices left the Gold Devourers terrified and weakened.

• Adam told King Faste that the Devourer would succeed when the origin turned completely blackish-gray and the Seed Source’s protection failed.
• Adam reasoned that the Devourer had withdrawn most of the Gold Devourer Royal Clan to sacrifice them and urged the Titan Kings to attack despite the risk of a trap.
• The Devourer ordered the altars rebuilt and began sacrificing Gold Devourer Royal Clan members, killing the Fifth Apostle and then other Apostles.
• The Titans advanced into Gold Devourer territory with seventy-seven Frontline War Fortresses, twenty-seven inland Great Cities, more than three hundred Floating Fortresses, and the Royal City.

The Titans and Adam’s forces discovered that the Gold Devourers had gathered at the Land of Divine Revelation, where the First Apostle was sacrificing its own kind to feed the Devourer. The Floating Fortresses began attacking key altars, but the altar array started moving.

• Titan and Forest Elf scouts reported that every marked Warning Zone was empty and its altars were gone, so the Titan Kings chose the Land of Divine Revelation for the Decisive Battle.
• The First Apostle told the Second Apostle that the Devourer feared a lifeform from the Other Plane, then prepared to sacrifice its younger brother.
• The Floating Fortresses attacked the seventy-first altar, and the Second Apostle leaped up before the First Apostle killed it with an energy blast.
• Adam identified twelve critical altar nodes and directed the fortresses to attack them, while King Faste warned that the First Apostle’s gray power could contaminate anything.
• The Titan Kings engaged the Gold Devourers as the altars fired back, and the altar array began to move.

Adam and the Titans fought to destroy the altar chain before the Devourer completed its awakening, sacrificing fortresses and lives to disrupt its energy supply. Even after their greatest attack erased Altar Number One Hundred, a fourth shattering sound rang across the plane.

• Adam realized the altars were stalling for time and ordered the Titans to attack while the Floating Fortresses prepared overloaded cannons.
• The Devourer bit down on the crystal ball, causing the Titan Plane to fracture and unleashing devastating upheavals.
• Adam coordinated the fortresses as Titans sacrificed themselves to destroy altar links, but the First Apostle replaced a destroyed node altar with itself.
• Adam fired ten overloaded shots as King Faste and nine Royal Clan members returned to the Royal City and ignited the God Clan Power Furnace.
• The Royal City’s hidden energy struck Altar Number One Hundred and reduced it to ashes, but a fourth shattering sound followed.

As the Devourer neared its advancement to Level Nine and the Titan Plane began to collapse, Adam assured King Swasey that the Mage Legion was coming. A True Spirit Guidance Magic Array opened a path into the void, and an unseen mage seized the fleeing Devourer by its tail.

• The Devourer swallowed the Seed Source, then destroyed its body and spawned a new race of Gold Devourers from its ashes.
• Adam saw that the Devourer was close to reaching Level Nine, while King Swasey apologized for the Titans’ distrust of him.
• The Magic Net announced the Mage Legion’s final transit and activation of a True Spirit Guidance Magic Array, prompting Adam to tell King Swasey that they would be saved.
• The Devourer’s attempt to disrupt the void killed many low-level Titans, and the surviving Royal Clan gathered in a fissure behind a Defensive Force Field.
• The True Spirit Guidance Magic Array opened and dispersed the Devourer’s gray energy, but the Devourer tried to flee with the Seed Source.
• An arm reached through the void fissure, grabbed the Devourer by its tail, and ordered it to return.

Adam and the Titans watched a True Spirit Grand Mage seize and imprison the Devourer, but the Aether Void’s rules forced the True Spirit to withdraw before the Mage Legion arrived. Adam was summoned to headquarters, where Arnold of the Seventh Alchemy Holy Tower explained why its mages led the joint expedition.

• King Swasey asked Adam whether the arm dragging in the Devourer belonged to a deity, and Adam identified it as the arm of a True Spirit Grand Mage.
• As the True Spirit’s power threatened to collapse the rift, the Grand Mage bound the Devourer with Aether-filled Refining Arrays and left part of its body trapped in the closing rift.
• Adam warned King Swasey that Gold Devourers still surrounded them and said the Mage Legion had not yet arrived.
• Six magic-guided warships emerged through portals, reinforced the Devourer’s seal, and sent escort craft to aid Adam’s forces as headquarters summoned him.
• Adam told King Swasey he would go to headquarters but would probably remain in the area, then teleported away.
• Arnold introduced himself to Adam as a Hyperdimensional Mage of the Seventh Alchemy Holy Tower and explained that True Spirit Grand Mage Mathison had led the campaign against the invading Dirus Clan.

Adam learned how the Dirus Clan once invaded Mage World and how His Majesty Mathison defeated three Level Nine Dirus to save it. He reported what he knew about the Dirus to the Third Holy Tower, whose mages were investigating the captured Devourer for the clan’s location.

• Hyperdimensional Mage Arnold explained that the Dirus Clan had invaded Mage World long ago, before the Mage Council and Magic Net existed.
• Arnold told Adam that His Majesty Mathison had advanced to True Spirit and defeated three Level Nine Dirus, and that the Seventh Alchemy Holy Tower was made from their corpses.
• Arnold brought Adam to the command center, where he was assigned to help the Third Holy Tower extract intelligence from the captured Devourer.
• The Third Holy Tower mages questioned Adam about why he had not reincarnated as Dirus, and Adam explained the limits of the Reincarnation Technique and the lack of a mother body nearby.
• Adam confirmed that Dirus mother bodies controlled their offspring like a Master-Servant Contract, but said tracing a mother body through lower-level individuals would be difficult.

Adam exchanged his method for resisting the gray energy with the Third Holy Tower and discussed the changing Dirus threat and possible cooperation with the Titans. The Vanguard Mage Legion reached the ground and requested talks, but the two sides could not understand each other.

• A female mage from the Third Holy Tower asked Adam about resisting the Devourer and reincarnating into its soul, then offered magic knowledge in exchange for his method.
• Adam traded his method to the Third Holy Tower and received Chaos Shelter, while retaining ownership of his intellectual property.
• Adam warned Matthews that the Devourer had destroyed the original Gold Devourers and discussed possible cooperation with the Titans and the God Clan remnants.
• The Vanguard Mage Legion arrived, and the Titans, shaken by their losses, sent King Swasey and two Royal Clan members to meet the mages.
• The Titans and mages stood awkwardly together because they could not understand one another's language.

Adam's companions repaired the Titans' Floating Fortresses and earned their trust. Adam reunited with Frank, rejected his offer of service under their old contract, and learned that Frank had become a Formal Mage using a new magic alloy.

• The Alchemist Mages repaired and rebuilt the Titans' Floating Fortresses, improved their External Armor, and guarded the area from Dirus.
• The Titans gradually trusted the mages as they witnessed their skill and goodwill.
• Adam was surprised when Frank contacted him and presented their old contract, declaring himself Adam's contracted guardian.
• Adam tore up the contract and told Frank he did not owe him loyalty, but eventually invited him to join Adam's future Mage Tower if he grew stronger.
• Frank described creating Ripple Alloy to build his body and explained that it let Telekinesis carry destructive power, helping him advance into a Formal Mage.

Adam saw Frank demonstrate how Ripple Alloy transformed Telekinesis into powerful oscillating attacks, then invited him to work in his laboratory after the war. Later, Adam helped Hyperdimensional Mage Arnold meet with the Titan Kings to discuss a Subordinate Race contract, and the chapter left their negotiations underway.

• Frank demonstrated attacks and defenses made by Ripple Alloy-amplified Telekinesis, convincing Adam that the power rivaled magic of the same level.
• Adam apologized for underestimating Frank and invited him to work in his laboratory after the war.
• The six warships completed the Devourer's second sealing, and Adam began coordinating a meeting between Arnold and the Titan Royal Clan.
• Arnold explained that the Mage World intended to form a Subordinate Race contract with the Titans, subject to approval from Anne Croft and the Third Holy Tower.
• After the Titan Kings admitted Adam and Arnold to the Royal City, Arnold outlined what would happen to the Titan Plane and its people if they accepted the contract.

The Titans weighed Mage World’s offer to become a Subordinate Race as mages deployed to fight the Devourers and assist the Titans. Adam met Aisha, a Level Eight Hyperdimensional Mage, who seized the Titans’ fire seeds and revealed that she intended to research Adam and Garfield.

• Arnold explained that the Titans would need to surrender their damaged plane and Origin in exchange for protection and support, and King Swasey asked for time to consider the offer.
• Arnold departed while Adam stayed in the Royal City, where King Swasey questioned him about Mage World and agreed the Titans would cooperate with its requests.
• The Seventh Alchemy Holy Tower Legion organized the war effort, and mages and Titans moved to the Frontline to face the powerful Dirus forces.
• Adam worked with Frank and other Low-Level Mages to strengthen the Titans and help them Pass the Fire.
• Aisha introduced herself to Adam as a Level Eight Hyperdimensional Mage, took all the fire seeds from the Seed of Fire Chamber, and pulled Garfield out of hidden space as a research subject alongside Adam.

Aisha Hyperdimensional brought Adam to a hidden research space and made him assist in an experiment on Origin Fire using the Reincarnation Technique. Adam discovered that Origin Fire consisted of flowing information and algorithms, but he could not yet decipher how it gave life to metal.

• Aisha Hyperdimensional transported Adam and Garfield to a research space containing Dirus, Titans, and a Royal Clan member, assuring Adam that the captives would not remember the experiment.
• Aisha assigned Adam to record every change in the Origin Fires and gave him soulless human bodies to use as avatars.
• A mysterious Reincarnation Technique incantation caused the Dirus to mutilate themselves, the Titans to suffer, and one of Adam’s threads to become a living soul; Aisha killed the newly formed being.
• Adam focused on recording the experiment as the Origin Fire collapsed into flowing information and interconnected algorithms.
• After his body warned him that he was nearing overload, Adam stopped analyzing and told Aisha that he needed much more time to understand the Origin Fire.

Adam examined the Origin Fire inside a Dirus to derive a formula that could help the Third Holy Tower strip the Seed Source from the Devourer. With Aisha Hyperdimensional’s help, he extracted the Dirus’s soul and began recovering the fused Seed Information for analysis.

• Adam realized the Seed Information contained a more advanced computational algorithm that could greatly improve his Computational Power.
• Aisha Hyperdimensional turned the Seed Information back into Seeds and placed them inside a peak Level Four Dirus to demonstrate its evolution through Origin Fire.
• Aisha Hyperdimensional and the Ragdoll explained that they wanted Adam to derive a key for stripping the Devourer’s Seed Source and lowering it back to Level Eight.
• Adam activated his clones and asked the Ragdoll to separate the Dirus’s body from its soul without damaging either.
• Adam examined the Dirus’s partly digested Seed Information, then used Telekinesis and Mental Power to pull the fused portions from its intact soul.

Adam developed a model to separate undevoured Origin Fire information from Dirus, then used Aisha Hyperdimensional’s power to convert a Greater Devil through Garfield. Garfield’s transformation ended with him reaching Level Eight.

• Adam dismantled Dirus’s soul into data chains and, after repeated experiments, stabilized a model that separated undevoured Origin Fire information without killing Dirus.
• Aisha Hyperdimensional stored Adam’s model, then brought him before the Titan King for an experiment to remove redundant information from its Origin Fire.
• Adam stopped short of stripping information directly from the Titan King because doing so would kill him, insisting that they honor their contract.
• Aisha Hyperdimensional produced a Greater Devil and instructed Adam to use Garfield as the foundation for converting it into an Origin Fire.
• Aisha Hyperdimensional shattered the Greater Devil’s will, allowing Garfield to absorb its power and rise to Level Eight.

Adam and the Hyperdimensional Mages used Dirus to reenact the Devourer’s ascension while Adam modeled its transformation. Adam struck the Devourer with his model, causing its nearly completed evolution to collapse and Dirus to degenerate.

• Aisha Hyperdimensional explained that Garfield’s Level Eight power was temporary, and Adam judged Garfield’s Origin Fire suitable for testing against Dirus.
• Aisha Hyperdimensional restrained Dirus while Adam fed it Garfield’s Origin Fire, and Adam recorded the changes as Dirus began evolving.
• After two days, the evolving Dirus released a gray Energy Pillar, and the Devourer’s information entered it and began attacking Adam.
• Nearly fifty Hyperdimensional Mages contained the Devourer as Adam studied its transformation by repeatedly unsealing and freezing it.
• Adam completed an incomplete model, poured magic power into it, and struck the Devourer, causing Dirus’s evolution to fail and its body and soul to degenerate.

Adam helped the Third Holy Tower destroy the Devourer's soul fragment and learned that he could obtain origin aura by trading important knowledge to the Mage World. Back on the Titan Plane, he used his research to rapidly produce powerful Newborn Titans, strengthening the Titan army while making its dependence on the Mage World increasingly certain.

• Aisha Hyperdimensional and five other Hyperdimensional Mages destroyed the Devourer's soul fragment, and Adam gave Aisha the model construction method.
• Arnold Hyperdimensional told Adam that Level Four Mages needed origin aura for their souls' second transformation and explained that Adam could trade valuable knowledge to the Mage World for it.
• Arnold reshaped the Titan King's and Garfield's bodies, then sent the Titan King away and placed the awakened Garfield with Adam.
• Five days later, Adam returned to the Royal City with Garfield and resumed his research while the Titan Plane prepared for war.
• With the Royal Clan's consent, Adam merged fireseed fragments to create Newborn Titans, whose strong metal bodies and Power Furnaces let them join the battlefield quickly.

Adam coordinated with King Swasey and the Titans to turn the Royal City and over four thousand Floating Fortresses into a defense line against Dirus. As the mages prepared for the decisive battle, six Third Holy Tower Hyperdimensional Mages entered the Devourer’s seal.

• The Magic Net ordered all War Mages to contain Dirus while the Third Holy Tower Hyperdimensional Mages invaded the Devourer.
• Command headquarters tasked Adam with coordinating the Titans and requesting the use of the Titan God's body.
• King Swasey agreed to let the mages use the Titan God's body as a command headquarters and temporary fortress.
• The mages refitted the Royal City and linked more than four thousand Floating Fortresses into a defense line.
• The mages took their battle positions, and the fortresses charged their weapons and linked their Defense Shields.
• The six warships opened a gap in the seal, and six Third Holy Tower Hyperdimensional Mages entered it.

The Devourer launched a massive counterattack as the Third Holy Tower's six Hyperdimensional Mages invaded its soul, while the other mages fought to hold back the Dirus across the Titan Plane. Adam coordinated his fortress unit's defense, but the Sixth Rank Dirus absorbed their main-cannon salvo without harm.

• The Devourer surged through a crack in its seal, and the Third Holy Tower's six Hyperdimensional Mages pressed toward its soul while the others formed a tetrahedron to contain the gray tide.
• The Devourer sent a signal to every Dirus, prompting them to attack the fortress formations across the Titan Plane.
• Adam directed the mages aboard Floating Fortress 2489 and its nineteen allied fortresses as they prepared to defend against a Sixth Rank Dirus and swarms of ordinary Dirus.
• Adam shared his Radar Vision, accelerated the fortresses' cannon cooldowns, and ordered a two-hundred-percent main-cannon salvo to block the Sixth Rank Dirus.
• The Sixth Rank Dirus opened its mouth and swallowed the two Energy Pillars without being harmed.
