Lynn watched the Mechanical Church launch a full-scale assault on the Flesh God Cult’s fortress in Curse City, hoping to see how the flesh cyst would resist.

After choosing to shelter inside and collect his quest reward, Lynn climbed back out to show off to the incoming missiles.

• Lynn’s M-Power energized the flesh creatures, who repaired the Aberration Fortress and launched a fierce counteroffensive against the Mechanical Church.
• A Mechanical Church unit sent a request for an air strike before the flesh creatures destroyed it, and the fortress detected a massive missile barrage approaching through the clouds.

• Lynn stopped the fortress opening from closing and told the flesh creatures he had only gone inside to warn them not to blink.
• Lynn vaulted back outside and spread his arms in a gesture at the incoming missile swarm.

Lynn stood beneath a missile barrage with his middle finger raised while Miss Doll secretly redirected the warheads, making the creatures in the Aberration Fortress believe he had turned them aside with telekinesis.

Lynn posed as Dr. X, a senior Plague Doctor, and gathered intelligence from a Desire Sect commander after helping repel a Mechanical Church attack. He learned that the factions were contesting the city’s core and that his father-in-law’s family would join the fighting if no result emerged within three days.

• Lynn inspected commander Gauss’s information and introduced himself as Dr. X, claiming he had come to help the Desire Sect forces.
• Gauss told Lynn that the Mother Goddess was preparing for her full descent and that the Aberration Fortresses were defending a rear base.
• Lynn claimed the Night Doctors had ambushed his group and warned the Flesh Humanoids about supposed spies with feline features.
• Gauss explained that the Mechanical Church controlled most of the city while the Desire Sect and Ruler Sect contested the West District and the central area containing the Colossus Brain.
• Lynn learned that the Mother Goddess’s intervention and the Ruler Sect’s Origin Leviathan had shifted the balance in Zone 1, and he noted that his father-in-law’s family would enter the battle if the conflict remained unresolved for three days.

• Lynn warned the commander that the Mechanical Church would soon attack, and the commander said the cult had already been ordered to retreat.

• The commander showed Lynn the Aberration Fortress traveling through the Mother Goddess’s fleshy root network beneath the city and explained the Desire Sect’s strength there.
• The commander offered Lynn access to the network, and Lynn accepted after promising to repay the favor.
• The commander ordered his adjutants to send Lynn prized spoils and arrange for his sister and other women to visit him.
• A Tentacle Monster led Lynn to a private room, where he opened his suitcase and found Black String Moon drained of energy.
• Lynn picked up the winding device to replenish Miss Doll’s mana.

Lynn built a high-speed drill to recharge Black String Moon after she warned him not to take advantage of her again. Black String Moon remained wary but began considering whether to try the device.

• Lynn laid Black String Moon on the bed and promised to recharge her quickly, while she warned him not to dawdle or take liberties.
• Lynn assembled a modified electric drill that could spin her winding key at high speed, and Black String Moon's sanity decreased as she saw it.
• Lynn demonstrated the drill against his own palm, cut himself, and healed the injury.
• Lynn lowered the drill to a slower setting and offered to recharge Black String Moon in seconds.
• Black String Moon asked whether the device was risky, and Lynn reassured her that he trusted his skills as a future mechanic.

Lynn used a modified power drill to rapidly recharge Black String Moon, who reluctantly allowed him to try. The drill malfunctioned and accelerated uncontrollably, charging her to 101%.

• Black String Moon reluctantly gave Lynn permission to use the power drill to recharge her.
• Lynn started the drill, and Black String Moon's charge quickly rose as he increased it to the second speed setting.
• Lynn struggled to control the vibrating drill as Black String Moon's charge reached 82%.
• Lynn tried to switch the drill to its first setting, but it sparked and malfunctioned, accelerating even faster.
• The drill's speed surged uncontrollably as Black String Moon's charge reached 101%.

Lynn tried to wind Black String Moon with a faulty device, causing it to spin dangerously fast and overload her. After he stopped the device and freed the broken piece, Black String Moon beat him for the mishap, leaving Lynn to wonder whether his thoughts about her came from attraction or simple lust.

• The winding device spun at thirty-five hundred revolutions in a single breath, overloading Black String Moon and leaving her unable to move.
• Lynn severed the sparking charger with a knife-hand strike, stopping the rotation as Black String Moon collapsed onto the bed.
• Black String Moon woke furious and beat Lynn for more than ten minutes while the crisis level reached 100%.
• Lynn used tweezers to remove the broken section of the winding device from Black String Moon.
• Lynn wondered whether he had developed feelings for Black String Moon, then decided he was probably just horny.

Lynn’s attempt to repair Black String Moon’s charger ended with her tying him up, but their exchange ended without further violence. The commander then sent his younger sister Adaline to deliver gifts, leaving Lynn facing the danger of her intense desire for him.

• Lynn promised not to make Black String Moon another malfunctioning charger, stopping her favorability from dropping further.
• A visitor identified herself as Adaline, the Aberration Fortress’s logistics officer and the commander’s younger sister, and said she had brought gifts from her brother.
• Lynn recognized the visit as the commander’s second attempt to win him over and invited Adaline inside.
• Lynn’s system identified Adaline as a Wriggling Mother whose desire could enslave anyone who had intimate contact with her.
• Adaline placed two gift boxes before Lynn and shyly showed off her tentacles, while Lynn maintained his disguise and tried to stay composed.

Lynn was offered two rare implants and a third gift from Adaline, who revealed that she meant herself. He rejected her advances by claiming he was gay, but Adaline reacted with delight at the supposed coincidence.

• Adaline presented Lynn with a flesh implant that could disrupt machinery and mechanical leg armor that increased speed.
• Lynn recognized that both items could make up for weaknesses in his mental attacks and mobility, and asked about the third gift.
• Adaline said that she was the third gift and offered herself to Lynn during their trip to the Main Base.
• The system triggered a quest called First Experience, while Lynn refused Adaline and claimed he was gay.
• Adaline became delighted and exclaimed that the situation was an incredible coincidence.

Lynn fled Adaline after she revealed she could transform to suit his preferences, then tried to hide in the Aberration Fortress. The fortress stopped in the root network, where the commander discovered a massive, unresponsive Aberrant Whale blocking the passage.

• Adaline told Lynn she could change her body and gender to match his tastes, so Lynn fled through a wall as his sanity dropped.
• Lynn denied liking boys to Zuo Zuo, escaped the pursuing Adaline, and hid in a random room.
• After Adaline’s sounds faded, Lynn set out for the fortress’s control chamber, but the fortress jolted to a halt and its corridor lights went dark.
• The commander entered the control room and learned the fortress had made an emergency stop after something appeared ahead.
• The commander saw an enormous Aberrant Whale blocking the tunnel, learned it had not answered their signal, and ordered his adjutants to turn on the beam.

The Mechanical Nanostorm began consuming the Aberrant Whale, forcing the Aberration Fortress to flee through the Mother Tree’s roots. Meanwhile, the mechanical forces prepared an assault on the Colossus Tower and launched Silver Fantasy to hunt the Desire Spreader as the nanostorm closed in on the fleeing fortress.

• The commander recognized that the Aberrant Whale was being eaten by a Mechanical Nanostorm and ordered the Aberration Fortress to flee.
