Chapter Summaries

Allen explained to Lokkishi that Melna was not a Human God Apostle, thanked her for helping him, and learned she wanted to become a maid in his household. As the group prepared to leave, Allen told Lokkishi that she was the Savior’s mother and that the Human God wanted to kill her.

• Lokkishi mistook Melna’s kneeling apology for an intimate encounter, and Allen clarified that he had been checking whether Melna was a Human God Apostle.

• Allen told Lokkishi that she was the Savior’s mother, that the Human God wanted to kill her, and that the Savior’s name was Lara Boreas Greyrat.

Allen explained to Lokkishi how he became a Hero and tried to reassure her that her own talent mattered more than fate’s favor. Their conversation was interrupted by the discovery of dead adventurers, and Allen identified sea beasts as the cause, leaving Lokkishi worried that the Human God had targeted him again.

• Allen told Lokkishi that a future Summoning Magic had brought him to this world as a Hero, and explained that Heroes received Laplace Factors.

• Adventurers found fresh bodies on the beach, and Allen rushed over to inspect them before Lokkishi could finish what she had meant to say.
• Lokkishi wondered whether Melna might become close to Allen in the future and felt that their own dream of adventuring together seemed distant from his larger fate.
• Allen returned and told Lokkishi that sea beasts had eaten the dead adventurers; Lokkishi asked whether the Human God had set his sights on him again.

Allen reassured Lokkishi that he fought the Human God for personal reasons and revealed that she was destined to bear Lara Boreas Greyrat, the future savior. He proposed to Lokkishi, who accepted, and later reflected aboard the ship on the strange events surrounding their voyage.

• Allen explained that his hatred of the Human God came from the god's cruelty toward him and the people he cared about, not from a lofty mission.

• Lokkishi fled to a ship after the celebration, and Allen recognized it as the vessel from his Precognitive Dream, now fitted with a replacement mast.
• Later, Allen noticed that the adventurers had left him and Lokkishi alone aboard the ship, recalled her awkward escape from his cabin, and used Location Search on Zenith.

Allen continued searching for Zenith, Lilia, Norn, and Aisha while Lokkishi privately worried that he had rejected her advances. Melna interrupted Lokkishi’s bath and told her that she should go find Allen, claiming she knew their future because she was a maid of the Greyrat Family.

Melna encouraged Roxy to approach Allen and helped her choose battle attire, while Allen exhausted himself investigating the labyrinth mutation and Roxy’s declining Destiny Power. Allen finally fell asleep in his cabin and awoke to find Lokkishi watching him at his bedside.

• Roxy hesitated to approach Allen, but Melna reassured her and persuaded her to let Melna prepare battle attire.
• Allen wrote down his plans to find Zenith, Lilia, Norn, and Aisha and his theories about Idazred, the sea folk, and the Technique God.

• Allen’s exhaustion overcame him as he rested against the headboard, and he fell asleep before getting a clear answer.
• Allen abruptly awoke and saw Lokkishi crouched beside his bed, watching him in the moonlight.

Allen realized his intimate encounter with Lokkishi had been a lucid dream and tried to wake himself, but Lokkishi appeared and confessed that she loved him and saw him as her destiny. He woke at sunrise beside an exhausted Lokkishi, with Melna also worn out from maintaining a barrier through the night.

• Allen sensed that Melna was missing from the ship and concluded he was dreaming, then tried to wake himself by causing pain to his fingers.
• Lokkishi rushed to Allen, encouraged him to relax, and confessed that she recognized him as the person who had always come to save her and wanted to spend her life with him.
• Allen dismissed Lokkishi's confession as a good dream and kissed her; Melna maintained a Barrier Spell over the cabin until exhaustion overcame her.
• At sunrise, Allen woke beside an exhausted Lokkishi, who greeted him and said that speaking to him face-to-face felt strange.

Allen realized his reunion with Lokkishi was real, learned that Melna was a doll from the future who would serve him and Lokkishi, and used Locate magic to find Zenith and Lilia. He discovered Zenith was injured and dazed while Lilia hid nearby with the wounded Aisha.

• Allen and Lokkishi watched the sunrise together, and he realized the scene matched his Precognitive Dream.

• Allen used Incarnation Manual and Locate: Zenith, finding Zenith crouched in a thorn thicket with blood on her clothes but no visible wound.
• Allen used Locate: Lilia and saw her hiding near Zenith, wounded and urging Aisha to hold on.

Allen used the Positioning System to watch Aisha and his family survive a dangerous moment, then saw Aisha notice his distant gaze before the vision vanished. Later, he confronted Melna about being an automaton and deduced that she had once served Aisha; Melna’s reaction convinced him that Aisha had survived the Great Transfer.

• Allen watched Lilia lead Zenith, Norn, and Aisha away from danger, while Aisha comforted Norn and followed them.
• Allen’s eyes bled from using the Positioning System, and he realized its power placed Demon Eye abilities into his eyes through magic.
• As the distant vision vanished, Aisha turned toward Allen’s gaze and smiled at him.
• After breakfast, Allen confronted Melna and concluded that she was an automaton because she could control her heartbeat.
• Allen deduced that Melna had served Aisha, citing her maidly manner and familiar green eyes, and Melna’s reaction gave away the truth.
• Allen celebrated that Aisha was still alive and that the Great Transfer had occurred.

Allen questioned Melna about the future, accepted her as part of the family, and ended his tests before leaving with Lokkishi’s panties. While Lokkishi slept, he analyzed her declining Destiny Power and the Divine Jades, concluding that their complete collection could grant the power of the Creator God; he remained puzzled by Lara’s motives.

• Allen learned that Melna had never met him in the future, told her to act naturally rather than like a servant, and declared his tests over.
• Allen returned to Melna, picked up Lokkishi’s white panties from behind a chair, and left with them.
• Allen found Lokkishi asleep and reviewed her damp notes about her declining Destiny Power.
• Allen reasoned that Human God Allen had entered Lokkishi’s dream with help from Laplace and Orsted, and that the Divine Jades could let their holders affect other worldlines.
• Allen concluded that gathering every Divine Jade could lead to becoming the Creator God, then wondered why Lara had fused with the Human God and wanted to gather them.

Allen considered whether Destiny Power was conserved between him and Lokkishi, but he could not confirm the idea and chose to rest beside her. After waking hungry, Lokkishi joined Melna for a late meal and admitted that she had refused Allen’s request for sex, prompting Melna to offer her advice.

• Allen deduced that Lokkishi’s Destiny Power had declined after his own increased, but he could not determine whether the two changes were connected.
• Allen helped the sleeping Lokkishi put on her underwear, but she woke, removed it, and fell asleep against him before he could explain.
• Allen lay down beside Lokkishi, and the four miniature Magic Circles in his Dragon Saint Battle Qi crystal crumbled and disappeared as he dreamed.
• Lokkishi woke after nightfall, realized she had fallen asleep before responding to Allen, and later got up to find food.
• Melna served Lokkishi vegetable soup and grilled fish, then heard that Lokkishi had refused Allen’s request for sex and offered to teach her a finishing move.

Allen explored a bizarre place in a Precognitive Dream, where he found a temple resembling a Dragon Race ruin and a pit lined with Magic Absorption Stones. As he descended into the pit, its walls turned into something like the skin of the enormous mountain above, leaving him facing a foul-smelling surface marked with skin patterns.

• Allen found himself on a sludge-covered landscape beneath a low green canopy and beside a towering, mountain-like structure.
• Allen used Air Blast Magic to reach a temple and uncovered dragon reliefs that reminded him of the Dragon Race Ruins.
• Allen discovered a deep pit in the temple, identified the glowing stones lining it as Magic Absorption Stones, and tested how they drained his spells.
• Allen jumped into the pit and used Air Blast Spell to slow his descent, despite the stones consuming his mana at an increasing rate.
• Allen saw the pit walls change from stone blocks into layered, foul-smelling skin with distinct patterns.

Allen descended through a mana-draining pit in the Dragon Race Ruins and discovered a vast underground structure built by Laplace. He found a phantom of the God of Technique and inferred that he would encounter Laplace in the future, leaving the nature of the enormous mist-filled sphere unexplained.

• Allen used Dragon Saint Battle Qi to survive a fall through a pit lined with Magic Absorption Stones and landed on a springy platform beneath a temple.
• Allen examined a giant door surrounded by a vortex of Magic Absorption Stones and entered the space beyond it.
• Allen realized the white, skin-like surface before him was a huge sphere containing mist and pieced together a rough map of the enclosed Dragon Race Ruins.
• Allen discovered a white-haired figure sitting beside the sphere and recognized him as a phantom of the God of Technique Laplace.
• Allen concluded that Laplace’s phantom reflected a future encounter and considered asking him about Destiny Power and Dragon Clan Secret Arts.

Allen dreamed of Laplace, who greeted him as a guest and one chosen by Him, before Allen woke aboard the ship and realized that reality had seeped into his dream. His legs had gone numb, and he found himself still in a compromising position as the ship rocked beneath the moonlit sky.

• Allen considered the dream's information about the Technique God and decided to ask Melna about the unfamiliar place after waking.
• Allen noticed a dark green sword made from Magic Absorption Stone among Laplace's belongings.
• The misty wall faded into a mirror, where Laplace opened his golden eyes, looked at Allen, and greeted him as one chosen by Him.
• Allen woke in his cabin and sensed that the dream had incorporated feedback from reality.
• Allen realized his legs had gone numb while he remained in a compromising position aboard the swaying ship.

Allen, Lokkishi, and Melna shared breakfast after returning to a normal routine, and Allen reflected on the danger of his future and the possibility that he would die. He had confirmed that Aisha, Lilia, and the others were safe, but their harsh circumstances and Aisha’s gaze continued to trouble him.

• Melna served Lokkishi and Allen an elaborate breakfast, and Lokkishi eagerly enjoyed the food.
• Allen asked whether Aisha had taught Melna to cook, then told Melna to eat with them rather than act like a servant.
• Allen considered his dream about Laplace and resolved not to have children with Lokkishi while her Destiny Power was weakened and his future remained dangerous.
• Allen wondered whether Melna had never met him in the future because he had died.
• Allen recalled using the Positioning System to find Aisha, Lilia, and the others safe but struggling in a dilapidated countryside house.

Allen examined Melna’s knowledge of the future and inferred that Orsted might be connected to his death, but Melna refused to explain further. As the ship’s crew brought aboard a strange Abyssal Fish, an adventurer’s face suddenly split apart.

• Allen questioned Melna about his future death and learned that she knew some future facts but would not reveal the key turning points.
• Allen reasoned that Aisha was concealing information to keep him from changing events, and he guessed that Orsted might be involved in his death.
• Allen told Lokkishi that his dream had revealed information about Orsted and cautioned that they should avoid meeting him before they were prepared.
• Klaim and the adventurers brought a huge Abyssal Fish aboard as the ship neared the end of the archipelago.
• Allen sensed no abnormality in the Abyssal Fish, but an adventurer’s face suddenly split into two halves and fell apart.

Allen fought off a Sea Fish Race woman who had hidden inside an Abyssal Fish and ambushed him aboard the ship. After breaking her hold, he blasted her face with a powerful Air Blast Spell, while the battle at sea continued around the ship.

• The Sea Fish Race woman emerged from an Abyssal Fish, killed and wounded adventurers with her scales, and grabbed Allen’s ankle.
• Allen used an Air Blast Spell to break through the deck and force the attacker into the cabin below, while sea beasts attacked adventurers overboard.
• Melna protected herself and Lokkishi with a Barrier Spell, and Lokkishi’s ice spears shattered as the Sea Fish Race woman grappled with Allen.
• Allen recognized the woman as the one he had sensed beneath the sea near Main Island and used North God Style tactics to escape her grip.
• Allen seized the Sea Fish Race woman’s face and struck it with a 10% spiral-release Air Blast Spell, blasting it apart.

Allen learned that the apparent Sea Fish Race corpse was a member of the legendary Kohl Royal Family, whose body could regenerate without mana. After the fishwoman revived and struck back, she hurled Allen through the ship, leaving Klaim trapped as she reassembled herself.

• Allen killed the Sea Fish Race woman and asked Klaim about her identity and the coastal monsters.
• Klaim explained the history of the Sea Fish Race and the Kohl Royal Family, including an empress who had survived a fierce battle with humans.
• Allen noticed that living nerve-like fibers were reconnecting the woman's severed remains and pinned them down with wind pressure.
• Allen struck the fibers with Klaim's sword, but the woman's massive tail attacked and sent Allen crashing through the ship's hold.
• The fibers reattached the woman's head and restored her body while Klaim watched helplessly.

Allen stopped Kor from killing Klaim and used powerful wind magic to restrain her above the sea. As he recognized her unusual strength and healing, the chapter left him holding her captive while his magic continued tearing through the ship and battering the ocean.

• Kor revealed that she had pursued Allen to avenge the Secret Sword of the Undead and had attacked him after becoming furious with him.
• Kor suspected Allen might belong to the Sea Race and tried to create distance so she could communicate with him.
• Kor launched the scales from her palm at Klaim, but Allen returned and brushed them aside with the Flow Arcana.
• Allen seized Kor by the throat and lifted her into the air, overpowering her with a sustained Air Blast Spell.
• Klaim thanked Allen for saving him, while Allen remarked on Kor's strength and healing abilities.

Allen fought Kohl, a Sea Folk queen, and discovered that her cries and the surrounding sea beasts were part of a summoning ritual. The ritual completed as a gigantic, rotting whale called Sea God Leviathan emerged from the sea.

• Allen subdued Kohl with wind magic, but held back from killing her when Klaim translated her claim that she and Allen were chosen by the same being.
• Kohl broke free and grabbed Allen, but her hand and head were destroyed as Allen fought to suppress her regeneration.
• Kohl’s nerves sent out a cry that shook magic power, while four distant calls altered the sky and summoned sea beasts around the ships.
• Allen realized the sea beasts were chanting Summoning Magic and connected the ritual to Laplace and the Sea God.
• Allen tried to flee with Lokkishi, Melna, and Klaim, but the summoning finished before he could leap away.
• Sea God Leviathan, a massive rotting whale, rose from the abyss and shattered the islands on its back.

In the royal capital, the Boreas family struggled with Allen’s disappearance while Philip and Sauros managed the search-and-rescue effort and the kingdom’s political tensions. Sylphy kept the household steady by pretending to trust that Allen would return, while Philip continued to wait over the unfinished chess game Allen had left behind.

• Sauros questioned Philip about Paul’s search-and-rescue team, dismissed political opposition, and ordered Philip to stay away from the Second Princess while he confronted Darius directly.
• Sauros announced that he might soon go south to Red Dragon’s Jaw and arranged for Sylphy’s parents to dine at the mansion before he left.
• Philip and Sylphy told Hilda that a search party had spotted someone resembling Allen near Red Dragon’s Jaw, and Philip assured her Allen would return by spring.
• Sylphy admitted to Philip that she was imitating Allen’s strength and believed that maintaining the household was better than joining a search she could not help.
• Philip watched Sylphy leave, studied the chess game Allen had left unfinished, and fell asleep after staying awake for three days.
