Chapter Summaries

Parr killed the Flame Heretic mentor and hunted down the cultists who attacked Snack Street, protecting Wei Wei as the city descended into chaos. After Fett awakened Wei Wei’s distant, mysterious persona and delivered a warning about Fluorescent Lake, Parr took her home; cultist attacks then spread across Fluorescent City.

Parr explored the New Dream Space, where he faced seemingly endless weapon-wielding black figures as he tried to reach its distant exit. The next day, he headed to the Church to seek cultist-hunting work, while Edward and Thousand Faces discussed using the Blood Bull Adventurer Team for New Plague experiments.

• Ivan invited Parr to hunt Death Heretics with him, and Parr agreed after learning Ivan's intelligence could help him find targets.

• Parr made Slime Spicy Powder, prepared his black equipment, and headed toward the East District cemetery where he expected Silver-level Death Heretics to appear.
• Da Lianna learned that two Grand Mentors had moved against the Church, while Old Ghost and Old Corpse confirmed their target was the grave of a Silver-level adventurer.
• Old Ghost led over a dozen Death Heretics and their Walking Corpses toward the cemetery, where the Church's light formations exposed and trapped them alongside the Youyan Family.

• Uncle Grey and Da Lianna arrived to aid Ivan Youyan’s group, and Da Lianna used gray flames to bring down Walking Corpses.
• Old Corpse revealed that Da Lianna followed the God of Death, but Da Lianna identified herself as a True Believer and attacked him.

• Parr found a Death Heretic and a Bronze-level Walking Corpse digging up Blood Bull’s grave, then killed them before they could raise the corpse.
• Parr returned to the battlefield, saw Wraith Old Corpse prepare his ultimate move, and struck him from behind with his sword and saber.

With Bob gone, Plague Heretics began placing green Divine Stones into the Ice Melting Magic Array, and Thousand Faces used his control over Bob to order him to kill everyone nearby except himself and keep anyone from entering the academy.

Thousand Faces reversed Fluorescent City’s Ice Melting Magic Array to gather the Nightmare Plague’s energy and use it to awaken the Plague God sealed beneath Fluorescent Lake. As the lake’s seal broke, Parr appeared beside the newly dead Thousand Faces and restored his Battle Qi after his strike failed to break the heretics’ barrier.

• Thousand Faces reversed the Ice Melting Magic Array, draining Plague Energy from Fluorescent City’s infected residents and gathering it at Fluorescent Academy’s Inner Courtyard.
• Thousand Faces and the Plague Heretics funneled the gathered energy into the green Crystal Ball, while Parr’s attacks failed to stop the ritual.
• Thousand Faces directed the Crystal Ball to fire Plague Energy into Fluorescent Lake, where followers of several factions prepared to intercept the awakening Plague God.
• Fett questioned “Wei Wei” about his teacher, but she warned him that asking about the previous Fate Observer could bring fate’s backlash.
• The green Crystal Ball plunged into Fluorescent Lake and shattered its azure sealing patterns, while Parr and the dead Thousand Faces appeared beside Fett and “Wei Wei.”
