Locke and Probus helped the Genesis Blue Lotus World survive the Swarm and its decline, while Locke’s Truth-Seeking drew him into the Probus Truth Revelation Competition and Witch Asanos’s scheme. The competition ended with Probus sacrificing himself to oppose the Eagle-Man World God King, who escaped with Bitter Wood.

• Probus endured years of poverty and injustice, then used Ten Thousand Sins Into One to draw the Elven Empire’s parasites, diseases, and pain into himself before warning Locke about Macedon.
• Probus pursued Truth-Seeking, and Locke fought Macedon, exposed the Ten-Sun Insect’s threat, and used the Four Sacred Beasts’ power to protect the world.
• Locke captured the Mother of Insects, destroyed the Ten-Sun Insects, forged Minor Reform, and helped Edgar preserve the Tree of All Things as the world entered an age of decline.
• Locke united with Macedon, Edgar, and Rameses to restore the world through ecological changes and Lightning Tribulation, then drove the Swarm into the Infinite Void and separated the Genesis Blue Lotus World from the Genesis Problem.
• Bitter Wood revealed that Asanos had recruited Probus to steal Black Wizard research for her God-Making Technique, and Witch Catherine joined allies against the Black Wizards as the Gate of Doom opened.
• Locke and Edgar fought the Abyss Legion and shattered the Gate of Doom, while Witch Catherine confronted the Maupassant Family’s grand elder and the competition continued amid the crisis.
• The Eagle-Man World God King seized Bitter Wood and trapped Locke and Edgar, but Probus completed his Supreme Evil Path Pseudo Forging and shattered himself to oppose the God King.
• Witch Catherine arrived as the God King fled with Bitter Wood, and the Abyss Queen declared that Probus was the first person to leave the Abyss since she became its queen.

Locke built his research and business ventures around Golden Crown Mountain, launching Augustus and Gungnir while confronting threats from the gods and Solas Barefoot. The arc ended with his finances strengthened and a visit to the Zodiac Society ahead, as Argos resolved to destroy Augustus.
