Chapter Summaries

The King of Abilities secretly granted the experimental subjects an Immortality Rule, allowing them to keep fighting despite fatal injuries and turning the battle against the Mysterious Organization. Chthon explained the difference between immortality and resurrection, while the King of Negativity wondered whether the Main Universe had a Death whose destruction could unleash catastrophic negative energy.

• Commander Luke committed to fighting on after disobeying his superiors, believing the Mysterious Organization still had the advantage.
• A soldier pierced the giant experimental subject's head, but the giant survived and knocked The Thing aside before attacking him relentlessly.
• Fatal injuries failed to stop experimental subjects across the battlefield, shocking Commander Luke and Anna.
• Chthon identified the Immortality Rule and explained that it prevented death without healing injuries, potentially causing endless suffering.
• The King of Negativity asked whether the Main Universe had an existence like Death, but Chthon directed the group to focus on the King of Abilities' Undying Legion.

The Test Subject Legion’s new immortality turned the battle against Commander Luke’s army, while Anna fought Luke to a standstill. As reinforcements approached, Chthon and the others debated how to wear down the King of Abilities without giving him a chance to strike first.

• The Test Subject Legion kept fighting through fatal wounds, undermining Commander Luke’s soldiers’ morale and pushing his army toward defeat.
• Commander Luke attacked Anna, hoping to capture her and learn why the test subjects could not die, but Andrew told her their immortality came from his Ability and would be removed after the battle.
• Anna blocked Luke’s sonic attacks and fought him without falling behind, further damaging his army’s morale.
• Poseidon said Chthon had summoned other legions as reinforcements, while the King of Negativity warned that the King of Abilities had likely anticipated them.
• Chthon revealed he had tampered with one legion, and the King of Negativity urged the others to encircle the Test Subject Legion and exhaust Andrew rather than attack directly.

The King of Negativity and Chthon planned to use the Undying Legion to exhaust the King of Abilities’ trump cards while buying time for Immortal Kang to transform. When Mysterious Organization reinforcements turned the battle against the test subjects, Andrew hinted that his Ability could help them but kept Anna guessing.

• The King of Negativity admitted he could not yet break the King of Abilities’ Undying Ability, and Chthon directed the group to use the Undying Legion to wear down their enemy and delay time.
• The first Mysterious Organization reinforcements arrived, and their commander ordered his soldiers to target the test subjects’ heads and vital organs after learning the legion’s weaknesses.
• The reinforcements pushed the test subjects into a disadvantage, while Commander Luke’s rival mocked him and took charge of the fight.
• Anna asked Andrew for help as the test subjects were humiliated, but Andrew told her to believe in miracles and hinted that his Ability had more potential than she realized.

Andrew explained that the Undying Ability could advance through despair and hatred, and a test subject awakened a stronger form of his Acceleration Ability during the battle. Anna learned she lacked the conditions to advance because she had not experienced true despair and could rely on Andrew's power.

• Anna asked Andrew whether the Undying Ability could advance, and he said it could awaken through its users' own efforts while telling her she lacked the potential.
• A test subject overwhelmed by hatred for the Mysterious Organization regained control of his body and gained greatly increased power.
• The test subject used his advanced Acceleration Ability to kill the soldiers who had been tormenting him, even fighting after his body broke into fragments.
• Anna recognized the test subject's transformation as Ability Advancement and asked Andrew how it worked.
• Andrew explained that despair and hatred could trigger advancement, while Anna lacked the necessary despair because she had met him early and could rely on his power.

Anna struggled to turn Commander Luke against the Mysterious Organization while its test subjects transformed into powerful Evil Spirits. Andrew explained Evil Spirit Transformation to Hades and revealed that he was using the battle to refine a third Undying Ability.

• Andrew told Anna to use Illusion to guide Commander Luke away from the Mysterious Organization, leaving her to devise how to reach him herself.
• Anna searched for the source of Commander Luke’s resentment while the fighting distracted them both.
• The test subjects’ hatred triggered their Undying Ability to transform them into Evil Spirits with greatly increased strength and conceptual Immortality.
• Hades emerged from Death Reincarnation, saw Andrew’s Undying Ability, and asked how it worked.
• Andrew explained that Evil Spirit Transformation gave test subjects strange abilities and fantasy-level Immortality, and said he was refining a third ability.

Andrew explained that his Undying Ability temporarily transformed people into Evil Spirits through a fusion of rules, while hiding its core Illusion Rule. He planned to let Immortal Kang become Perfect Doomsday before defeating him and revealed that the Undying Ability’s third power could rival endless Evolution.

• Andrew explained to Hades that Death Life created irreversible undead, while his Undying Ability could turn Evil Spirits back into ordinary people.
• Hades tried to learn the Undying Ability’s Core Rule, but Andrew kept the Illusion Rule secret to protect his trump card.
• Andrew said he was waiting for Chthon and the King of Negativity to act and wanted Immortal Kang to finish transforming into Perfect Doomsday.
• Andrew explained that a second defeat would shatter Immortal Kang’s confidence and weaken his Mind Rule, possibly driving him to Mutual Destruction.
• Hades warned Andrew about Perfect Doomsday’s endless Evolution, but Andrew said he was confident and that his Undying Ability’s third power could match it.

The King of Negativity used a Crystal to absorb Resentment Energy, stopping the test subjects from becoming new Evil Spirits and stabilizing the battlefield for the reinforcements. Andrew explained that the Crystal only delayed the problem and began outlining ways to counter it, leaving Anna concerned that the enemy would heavily guard it.

• Chthon proposed that absorbing the test subjects’ Resentment Energy would prevent them from becoming Evil Spirits, and the King of Negativity created a Crystal for the reinforcements Commander.
• The reinforcements Commander used the Crystal to absorb Resentment Energy, then ordered his soldiers to stop torturing test subjects, preserve themselves, and trap the Evil Spirits.
• Commander Luke lost confidence after seeing the reinforcements Commander’s performance, while Anna focused on the battle and asked Andrew why no new Evil Spirits were appearing.
• Andrew told Anna that the Crystal was absorbing the resentment and explained that its stored energy could erupt if the Crystal were broken, creating many Evil Spirits.
• Anna said that breaking the Crystal would be difficult because the enemy would guard it heavily.

Andrew explained three ways Anna could turn Crystal’s test subjects into Evil Spirits, outlining the escalating risks of each. Overwhelmed by the demands of the third method, Anna chose the first and decided to evade the Commander and destroy Crystal with everyone.

• Andrew urged Anna to try breaking Crystal and explained that the second method was to use Illusion to make resentment grow faster than Crystal could absorb it.
• Andrew described a third method in which Anna would link the test subjects and Wraiths through Mind Ability, coordinate their shared hatred, and guide the test subjects through transformation.
• Andrew warned that the process could overwhelm Anna, damage the test subjects, or turn her into an Evil Spirit, and that she would need to handle at least ten people at once.
• Anna rejected the third method and decided to shake off the Commander and lead everyone to destroy Crystal using the first method.

Andrew used his unfinished Ability, I Can Spend Future Money, to let Anna borrow power from her future self so she could attempt the third method. After the powerful boost made Anna feel invincible, Andrew sent her into a Little Black Room to curb her arrogance before the attempt.

• Anna chose the first method because she believed the third method was beyond her current abilities.
• Andrew revealed that he could let Anna borrow power from her future self, though the uncertain Ability might impose a much greater cost on her future self.
• Anna agreed to use I Can Spend Future Money, and Andrew activated it on her.
• Anna resonated with her future self and received power, consciousness, mental strength, and experience through time and space.
• Anna declared she could do anything, so Andrew sent her into a Little Black Room to curb her arrogance.

Andrew taught Anna the Little Black Room ability so she could trap the Sound Wave Commander and create time to complete the third method. After learning the basics in an Illusion Realm, Anna prepared to test whether she could use it to make the Commander repent.

• Anna endured Andrew's Little Black Room illusion until she reached the light and returned to normal.
• Andrew explained that he had used the experience to teach Anna the Little Black Room and to chastise her for her arrogance.
• Andrew told Anna the ability could trap the Sound Wave Commander while she focused on the third method, and could potentially make him repent through prolonged isolation.
• Andrew said Anna's new strength and slight understanding of the Time Rule would let her adjust the Little Black Room's time flow.
• Andrew passed the Little Black Room ability to Anna and created an Illusion Realm where she learned its basics.

Anna trapped Commander Luke in the Little Black Room, where isolation and amplified negative emotions wore down his resolve. He rejected the idea that he had done anything wrong and stood firm in his beliefs, while Anna continued waiting for an opportunity to reform him.

• Anna asked Andrew whether someone could kill a target while they were unconscious in the Little Black Room, and Andrew warned that mortal danger could break the target free and cause backlash.
• Anna used her Mental Power to draw Commander Luke into the Little Black Room while hiding herself from the other soldiers with an Illusion.
• Commander Luke tried to threaten and persuade Anna, then screamed and collapsed into despair as the silence and isolation continued.
• Anna asked Commander Luke what he had done wrong, but recognized that his offer to surrender was insincere and gave him no answer.
• Commander Luke reflected on his rise from the slums through the Mysterious Organization and reaffirmed his belief that the strong had the right to rule the weak.
• Commander Luke stood and roared that he had done nothing wrong and would not be defeated, but the Little Black Room remained silent.

In the Little Black Room, Commander Luke relived his mother's teachings and the suffering that turned him toward cruelty, eventually feeling genuine remorse for his actions. Andrew told Anna that Luke's changed consciousness would not revert, and explained that the room could bring out an existing side of a person but could not create one from nothing.

• Commander Luke's isolation brought back memories of his kind mother, whose death after others refused to help him drove him to reject her beliefs.
• Commander Luke's inner struggle shifted toward admitting he was wrong, and he wept as he felt deep guilt for mistreating the weak.
• Anna questioned whether Commander Luke's remorse would last after he left the Little Black Room.
• Andrew said the Whitewashing Technique had permanently changed Commander Luke's consciousness and that the room could only draw out a side already within someone.

• Chthon ordered Poseidon to bring reinforcements faster and strengthen them, while Iron Great Tree prepared lethal weapons and asked King of Negativity for help.

Chthon and his allies prepared anger-powered devices to strengthen the soldiers while they delayed King of Abilities. On the battlefield, King of Abilities unleashed Resentment Energy, and Anna led the experimental subjects in transforming into Evil Spirits.

• Iron Great Tree proposed devices that used anger to boost soldiers' strength and fire powerful rays, at the cost of their health and lifespan.
• Chthon ordered Iron Great Tree to make the devices, King of Negativity to enchant them, and Poseidon to add Sea God's Power.

• King of Negativity sent Crystal to absorb the Resentment Energy, while the reinforcement Commander ordered conscious soldiers to attack the experimental subjects.
• Anna vowed to fight the Mysterious Organization, and the experimental subjects transformed into Evil Spirits through rage and the Undying Ability.

After Anna led the transformed test subjects as Evil Spirits, she offered the Mysterious Organization soldiers a chance to surrender, but they refused. Anna unleashed her Resentment Shockwave and her legion attacked, leaving Commander Luke struggling against her while she secretly held back.

• The transformed test subjects regenerated from the soldiers’ attacks, and Anna stopped the Evil Spirits from attacking as she asserted control over them.
• Anna offered the soldiers a chance to surrender and help fight the Mysterious Organization, but the reinforcement commander and most of the soldiers rejected her offer.
• Anna unleashed her Resentment Shockwave, stirring the soldiers’ Resentment Energy and leaving most of them vulnerable to the Evil Spirits.
• The Evil Spirits slaughtered over a hundred soldiers in their first attack, while the reinforcement commander urged Commander Luke to use his soundwaves to wake the others.
• Commander Luke used his soundwave Ability, but Anna struck him with Mental Blast and invisible mental spears, overpowering him while secretly holding back.

Chthon organized a response after Anna turned the test subjects into immortal Evil Spirits, ordering equipment modified to seal them and sending two legions into the Prison District. The commanders and soldiers entered the fight under his coercion and advanced cautiously after seeing how dangerous the Evil Spirits were.

• The commanders warned their soldiers about the Evil Spirits' immortal bodies and resentment-energy attacks, then led them forward in formation.
• The two legions saw the Evil Spirits fighting and realized they were more terrifying than expected.

Anna led the Evil Spirits against the Mysterious Organization’s legions, whose soldiers broke into a rout as the spirits slaughtered them. While the commanders struggled to contain the battle, Anna fought Commander Luke and Cycho inside her Illusion Realm and found no kindness in Cycho’s heart.

• A Fire Element Evil Spirit detonated among the soldiers, reassembled from its scattered flesh, and charged back into battle.
• The first two legions fled toward the reinforcements, throwing the formations into chaos, and Anna trapped the commanders in an Illusion Realm while ordering the Evil Spirits to attack.
• The new commanders opened a Space Corridor to teleport fleeing soldiers to the rear and requested more reinforcements, but Chthon ordered them to keep the Evil Spirits inside the prison.
• Anna continued fighting Commander Luke and Cycho in the Illusion Realm while explaining that the Little Black Room could not redeem Cycho because she sensed no Light of Kindness in him.

Anna planned to turn Commander Cycho into an Evil Spirit to strengthen her forces against the Mysterious Organization and help Andrew rescue survivors. She decided Commander Luke would help ambush Cycho so she could use his betrayal to build a stronger Resonance with him.

• Anna arranged for Commander Luke to help ambush Commander Cycho so Cycho would blame Luke for his defeat and feel betrayed.
• Anna chose to resonate with Cycho over betrayal, drawing on her own history of being betrayed by classmates, coworkers, and friends.

Anna arranged for Commander Luke to betray Commander Cycho so Cycho’s resentment would grow, then used Resonance to turn him into a controllable Evil Spirit. Commander Cycho returned to the Reality World and attacked Luke, but Anna stopped him and kept him under her command.

Meanwhile, the enemy leaders decided to divine Anna’s next target and prepare a soldier to restrain her as the Iron Great Tree finished modifying his equipment.

• Anna ordered Commander Cycho to fight alongside her and forbade him from harming Commander Luke, while Commander Luke agreed to help her choose more soldiers to transform.
• Anna said she would use her Illusion Realm to create more Evil Spirits, with Commander Luke protecting her and helping identify suitable targets.
