• Anna's belief trapped Big Mouth in the Little Black Room too, severing his connection to the phantom, and he begged her to dispel it.

• Chthon shifted the discussion toward finding a way to defeat Anna and noted that Big Mouth’s death had prevented a powerful Evil Spirit from joining her side.

Big Mouth survived King of Negativity’s Fear Ray because the King of Abilities’ Little Black Room power protected his consciousness, but he feared resisting the Mysterious Organization because it held his family hostage. Anna agreed to spare him and fight to rescue them, while Andrew revealed that he had already taken Big Mouth’s family to Miami.

• King of Negativity saw Big Mouth become an Evil Spirit and realized his Fear Ray had not destroyed Big Mouth’s consciousness.

• Andrew told Anna he had acted to help her, because she was more than an ordinary good person.

• Big Mouth agreed to fight alongside Anna, though he warned that their chances of winning were low.

Anna turned Big Mouth into an Evil Spirit by trapping him in an Illusion Realm where the Mysterious Organization killed his family, and his resulting rage unleashed his Devouring Ability on the battlefield. As Big Mouth’s uncontrollable Black Hole swallowed soldiers and Evil Spirits alike, Andrew urged Anna to develop her abilities immediately.

• Anna sealed part of Big Mouth’s memories and made him experience an Illusion Realm where the Mysterious Organization captured his son and killed his wife and daughter.
• Big Mouth’s Resentment Energy transformed him into an Evil Spirit, and he flew out of the mist to attack the Commander he blamed for his family’s deaths.
• Big Mouth used his Black Hole to swallow the Commander and nearby soldiers, while Anna noticed his Ability had developed a new form.
• Anna asked Big Mouth to spare the Evil Spirits, but he refused and continued swallowing enemies and allies because he could not control the Black Hole and did not care about allies.
• Andrew told Anna to develop new abilities immediately, explaining that her strength of heart would determine how fully she could use her powers.

Anna continued turning the Mysterious Organization’s Ability Users into Evil Spirits while trying to awaken the Evil Spirit Queen’s summoning ability, and the two legions neared collapse. Chthon proposed targeting Anna with the accumulated Curses of the dying soldiers, while the fight against Big Mouth remained unresolved.

• Andrew left Anna to awaken a new ability through battlefield pressure, so she stopped trying to force an insight and continued converting Evil Spirits with Commander Luke.
• Big Mouth’s attack threw the two reinforcement legions into disarray, allowing Anna to convert powerful Ability Users and push the legions toward defeat.

• Chthon suggested ambushing Anna with an Illusion Realm, but Iron Great Tree and the others doubted the tactic would work against the King of Abilities.
• Chthon revealed that the soldiers’ dying Curses had accumulated on Anna and said he could use them to kill her without acting personally.

• Chthon told the King of Negativity that he would sacrifice humans to turn accumulated Resentment into an instant-death curse targeting Anna.

• Andrew told Hades that Immortal Kang’s Perfect Doomsday Gene mattered more to him than the Pocket Dimensions or Divine Thrones.
• Andrew explained that Anna was a regional protagonist and said he could temporarily transfer some of his protagonist luck to her.

Andrew explained that he was developing an Ability to draw Protagonist Luck from the World Consciousness, while Chthon identified Linda as the next Ability User Anna would transform. Linda, who hated the Mysterious Organization for forcing her to use her wound-sharing Ability, heard Chthon offer her vengeance in exchange for believing in the Great Demon God.

• Andrew told Hades that he had created an Ability to lend his Protagonist Luck to others and could reverse it to draw luck from the source of protagonists.
• Andrew explained that the source was the World Consciousness and said he had only begun to access its favor.

• Chthon offered Linda revenge against the Mysterious Organization if she believed in the Great Demon God.

• Chthon tried to bewitch Linda into worshipping the Great Demon God, while Andrew warned her about the black energy and exposed Chthon’s plan.
• Andrew introduced himself as the King of Abilities and Savior, then proposed working with Linda to defeat the Mysterious Organization and free her from the Grand Commander’s control.
• Linda asked whether becoming an Evil Spirit could be reversed, whether it had side effects, and whether she would feel pain; Andrew answered her questions.
• Linda agreed to cooperate because she wanted revenge and feared the Grand Commander, but demanded Andrew create an escape opportunity for her if they lost.
• Andrew promised they would cover Linda’s retreat if necessary and said her Evil Spirit’s Immortal Body would improve her chances of escaping.

Andrew advised Linda to refuse Chthon’s attempt to make her worship the Great Demon God, while preparing to counter the Curse Chthon secretly placed on her. Andrew took control of the Curse, leaving Chthon’s planned ambush against Anna undermined.

• In the Illusion Realm, Andrew told Linda that Chthon wanted to use her against Anna and warned that worshipping the Great Demon God would make her its property.
• Linda returned to her body and refused Chthon’s offer, claiming loyalty to the Mysterious Organization despite her resentment toward it.

• Andrew revealed that he had already seized the Curse and began turning it into data.
• Hades questioned whether the Director of S.W.O.R.D. could act, and Andrew explained that his successes had let the Director conserve strength while the Great Demon God kept spending Divine Power to aid Chthon.

• Andrew told Hades he planned to use Anna’s curse and the Director of S.W.O.R.D.’s power to brand Chthon before a future battle in Los Angeles.

• Wade taunted Chthon and revealed that Andrew had chosen and tampered with Anna’s targets to lure Chthon into the trap.

Chthon increased his support for Sea Fortress after revealing that King of Abilities and the Mechanical Demon King had cursed him, while King of Negativity proposed a plan to handle Evil Spirit Big Mouth. Inside the Illusion Realm, Andrew secretly made Anna’s gray curse return to push her toward a breakthrough, leaving her terrified as it spread and King of Abilities did not answer.

• Chthon told his clone to help Immortal Kang at Sea Fortress and admitted to the other Compound V Big Trees that King of Abilities and the Mechanical Demon King had cursed him.
• After Chthon found no solution to Leader Anna, King of Negativity proposed dealing with Evil Spirit Big Mouth first, and the group prepared to help with his plan.
• Chthon noticed Anna and Linda remained frozen, but decided not to investigate after his own defeat.
• Andrew secretly caused the gray to spread over Anna again to push her toward a breakthrough, while remaining ready to stop if she could not endure it.
• Anna failed to dispel the gray or summon King of Abilities' power, and she grew increasingly frightened as her body lost sensation.

Anna awakened two abilities at the brink of death, becoming the Evil Spirit Queen and escaping the gray damage. After learning that Linda had met King of Abilities and agreed to cooperate, Anna realized he had watched her struggle without intervening.

• As the gray damage spread across her body, Anna's determination to save the Evil Spirit Legion and countless survivors triggered two new abilities: Summon Evil Spirit and Queen Immortal.
