Chapter Summaries

Adam fused the Seven Beasts and atheism without an accident, gaining an unexpected power that would make Britannia flourish. Merlin demanded to know the side effect of that effect, but Adam hesitated to answer.

• Adam explained that Britannia's morality, physical fitness, and technology would all improve through the power of the Seven Crown Ranks.
• Merlin questioned Adam about the effect's origin and side effects, and Adam hesitated when asked to explain the side effect.

Adam explained to Merlin that his power could guide Britannia toward prosperity, but could not make the nation last forever. He showed how flaws in Britannia’s foundations could accumulate unnoticed until the country eventually collapsed, leaving Artoria deep in thought.

• Adam altered the blocks representing Britannia’s foundation and explained that hidden flaws could accumulate until the structure collapsed.
• Artoria listened outside the door and fell into deep thought.

Adam explained that the Power of Development was turning Britannia into the first layer of building blocks, and that letting the process continue would give the kingdom 743 years before its destruction. Artoria heard the conversation and faced the choice of preserving that brief future or interrupting the process, but the chapter ended before she answered.

• Adam told Merlin that Britannia was becoming the first layer of building blocks and would last 743 years if the process continued.

• Merlin asked Artoria whether she would allow the Power of Development to continue or interrupt it, and Artoria weighed Britannia’s likely fate against the small chance of a better future.
• Adam asked Artoria why birds fly, while Merlin grew suspicious that Adam was planning something involving dangerous beings.

Adam asked Merlin how powerful beings and projections moved between worlds, learning that some reflections gradually approached unique higher existences while others could remain independent. Merlin revealed that he was a projection derived from magic, and the chapter ended with him suggesting Adam ask his teacher how to avoid being projected elsewhere.

• Adam asked whether Merlin was a projection of a unique Merlin, and Merlin said he was a derived projection formed by magic.
• Adam worried that he might be projected into other worlds, and Merlin suggested asking Adam’s teacher how to prevent it.

• Artoria told Adam she chose to let the effect continue, surprising him.
• Adam left, and Merlin called Artoria’s decision wise before Adam teased him about how he comforted her.

Adam advised Merlin and the Knights of the Round Table to learn more about human feelings as Artoria’s fate shifted away from certainty.

Adam found the remaining Five Great Magics too specialized to be useful outside their original world, so he asked Merlin for a suitable laboratory universe. Merlin gave him coordinates to four worlds, including a nested-box world where a Merlin had been Earth’s Sorcerer Supreme, and the chapter ended with Adam learning that a Merlin who entered an immortal world had been eliminated as an invader.

• Adam decided that most of the remaining Five Great Magics were too tied to the Type-Moon World to help him directly, though studying their rules could aid his future work creating worlds.

• Merlin explained that nested-box worlds often contained dead universes and gave Adam coordinates to one where a Merlin had been Earth’s Sorcerer Supreme.
• Merlin gave Adam coordinates to a world near many worlds where magic flourished, then warned him that the Void Tree’s black-market trading ground was dangerous and unreliable.
• Merlin gave Adam coordinates to a world ruled by powers from an Eastern civilization system, where a Merlin had been eliminated as an invading outsider.

Merlin explained the paths to advancing beyond a world's limits and why no one had completed the path from all to one. He gave Adam coordinates to a world shaped by Eastern civilization, where Adam might study its Dao, but warned that such worlds rejected outsiders.

• Merlin explained that advancement beyond a person's birth world required following either the path from one to all or from all to one.
• Merlin said that unique positions belonged to single concepts and that no one had completed the path from all to one.
• Merlin explained that Buddha had come closest to completing that path but had blocked the concept of Buddha from attaining uniqueness by allowing a second Buddha to appear.
• Adam declined Merlin's suggestion to follow the Buddhist path and learned that magic could advance by unifying mastered rules.
• Merlin gave Adam coordinates to a world shaped by Eastern civilization and warned that it would suppress outsiders who tried to enter.

Adam learned that mages who tried to integrate the Dao into magic had either died or changed sides, but he still planned to test whether his Adam Cards could accommodate it. He returned to the Harry Potter World in 2034, found Bernard and Klon apparently well, and delayed reversing time to catch up on the world’s entertainment.

• Adam visited the Kamar-Taj library and chose to contact the Vishanti.
• Adam entered the White Magic Dimension and encountered the Vishanti, whose tiger-headed member, Hoggoth, demanded to know who he was.

Adam gave Yao and Ancient One the task of finding lifeless universes, then slept for a week in his villa. After waking, he recruited the Flerken Goose by feeding her his magic and renamed her Mimi.

• Adam opened a portal to his villa and told Yao to search for universes without life, while Ancient One arranged for Wong to manage the Sanctum Sanctorum and joined the search.
• Adam cleaned his villa, went to sleep, and woke a week later without anyone having come to challenge him.

• Goose rejected both kinds of energy but eagerly ate dried fish infused with Adam's magic, attached herself to him, and was renamed Mimi.
• Adam summoned Kero and Suppi and decided to relax with them and Mimi.

Adam enjoyed Mimi’s company and considered where to travel next while he waited to digest the magic he had gained from the White Magic plane. He decided to visit Asgard and planned to ask Ancient One how to get there.
