• Lynn decided to take the crystals and the other metal materials despite his promise to take only death star crystals.

Lynn and Zuo Zuo looted an entire warehouse before its defenses came back online, discovering rare materials that could help create a Supreme Frame. The Purification Council arrived too late, found Lynn’s taunting message, and ordered a pursuit.

• Lynn and Zuo Zuo rapidly stuffed the warehouse’s supplies, equipment, guards, walls, and flooring into their System Space.
• Lynn found a container of death star crystal and discovered it also held primordial divine gold and strange matter, which he identified as promising materials for his next target.
• As the time limit expired, Lynn carried off Zuo Zuo and escaped with the loot just as the warehouse’s data exchange and defenses came back online.
• The Purification Council’s forces entered the stripped warehouse and found the message, “Yup, I did it~,” left in the floor.
• The acting Chief lost control of his data streams in anger and ordered the forces to catch Lynn and torture him with electricity.

Lynn fled the Purification Council’s facility with the Intelligent Brain’s help, only to be confronted by a regiment of Silver Fantasy Mechs apparently sent by the God of Ten Thousand Machines. He turned and ran as the mechs pursued him.

• Lynn thanked the Intelligent Brain while admitting he had taken only a small piece of the death star crystal, and she angrily demanded that he leave Miss Machine Intelligence’s body.

• Lynn recognized a Silver Fantasy Mech and suspected the God of Ten Thousand Machines had secretly made additional copies of Miss Machine Intelligence’s frame.
• Two more Silver Fantasy Mechs arrived, then grappling hooks revealed many more, prompting Lynn to flee and shout at the Intelligent Brain about the regiment pursuing him.

Lynn’s infiltration of the God of Ten Thousand Machines’ seat triggered a swarm of Silver Fantasy Mechs, and his M Fist disrupted the Purification Council and a distant battlefield but failed against the mindless machines. He escaped a killing blow by warping away, while the Mechs locked onto his destination and pursued him.

• The Purification Council discovered that the Silver Fantasy Mechs were outside its command, bore the God of Ten Thousand Machines’ Mark, and might be connected to the Supreme God’s plans for a Great Schism and a new King.
• Lynn identified the pursuing frames as War Praetorians and realized his infiltration had activated their alarm.
• Lynn struck the ground with his M Fist, flooding the Purification Council’s networks and disrupting the Intelligent Brain’s distant battlefield connection.
• Lynn realized the mindless Silver Fantasy Mechs were immune to attacks on consciousness and became surrounded.
• Lynn used his great scythe to warp away just before a Mech could kill him, but the Mechs locked onto his location and followed.

Lynn escaped a spatial pursuit into the Mechanical Church’s deep underground factory, where he discovered the God of Ten Thousand Machines was forging a new Origin-level frame called Light Banquet. Surrounded by Silver Fantasy Mechs and activated defenses, Lynn retreated into System Space and pondered how to steal the frame safely.

• Lynn warped into the factory but found that spatial stabilizers had trapped him inside the base, and he identified his location as Level minus 135, Birthplace No. 7.
• Lynn broke through a massive steel door as the pursuing Silver Fantasy Mechs closed in, then discovered the unfinished Light Banquet frame being forged.
• Lynn realized the God of Ten Thousand Machines planned to divide its consciousness into new collectives and raise them toward the locked Origin level.
• The factory’s alarms activated, the Silver Fantasy Mechs and defense weapons converged on Lynn, and the Light Banquet frame began showing signs of activation.
• Lynn escaped into System Space and began considering how to take the frame without being killed.

Lynn used System Space to escape the Silver Fantasy Mechs pursuing him and relied on the Intelligent Brain to monitor the danger outside. He stayed hidden with Zuo Zuo, realizing that the alarm at Birthplace No. 7 could lead to Wànjī awakening, while preparing to see whether it was safe to leave.

• Lynn's signal vanished from the Purification Council's surveillance network after he entered System Space, and he teased the Intelligent Brain when she asked whether he was alive.
• The Intelligent Brain warned Lynn not to go deeper and offered to help him escape, but Lynn pressured her to keep working with him by reminding her of their deal.
• Lynn learned that the Intelligent Brain could not access anything below the hundredth underground floor, and he warned her to monitor the Purification Council so Wànjī would not awaken.
• Lynn returned his consciousness to his main body in System Space and explained to Zuo Zuo that his battlefield avatar could not open a passage for them.
• Lynn considered sending Zuo Zuo outside to check for Silver Fantasies, then stopped her and called her his precious left hand.

Lynn exploited the Silver Fantasy Mechs’ predictable targeting by repeatedly stepping out of System Space and dodging back in, inching toward [Light Banquet]. Meanwhile, the Purification Chief warned that Lynn was likely alive and causing trouble below, even as the other machine consciousnesses doubted he had survived.

• Lynn tested the guards outside System Space and found that the Silver Fantasy Mechs attacked any detected intruder but lost their target when he disappeared.
• Lynn calculated that he could reach [Light Banquet] by repeatedly shifting position and began his hopping approach while looking for signs of an intelligent AI.
• Lynn repeatedly flashed out through a Light Gate and back into System Space, triggering the factory alarms and advancing toward [Light Banquet] without being struck.
• The Purification Council discussed gaining access to the lower levels, while some machine consciousnesses believed the Silver Fantasy Mechs had already killed Lynn.
• The Purification Chief insisted Lynn was probably still alive and warned that he might already be defeating the Supreme God’s guards and wreaking havoc below.

Lynn stole the [Light Banquet] frame from the Factory by using his repeated shifts through system space to bypass its defenses, then escaped with Zuo Zuo's help. The Purification Council realized what he had taken and scrambled to stop him.

• Lynn repeatedly hopped through system space until he reached the [Light Banquet] frame.
• Lynn broke through the frame's enclosure and grabbed its wrist, triggering its activation sequence and a spreading curse.
• Lynn used Curse Removal to suppress the curse, then wrapped his arm around the frame's waist as Silver Fantasy Mechs attacked.
• Zuo Zuo pulled Lynn back into system space, and Lynn kissed a Silver Fantasy Mech before vanishing with the frame.
• The Purification Council discovered the theft and ordered reinforcements, a Nanite Storm, and spatial stasis devices.

Lynn stole the unfinished [Light Banquet] frame from the Mechanical Church’s facility, then prepared to escape by possessing a Mechanical Humanoid and equipping it with the Colossus Heart and Curse Eye. His attempt to summon Little Eye Loli instead triggered a deadly wager against his curse target, Lynn, with the lower roll facing death.

• Lynn threw [Light Banquet] into the death star crystals, suppressing some of the Root-Level curse within her, and explained to Zuo Zuo that the theft would provoke the Mechanical Church.
• Lynn inspected [Light Banquet] for technology that could improve his Trinity Frame, while Zuo Zuo struck him after he joked about using the frame as a blow-up doll.

• Lynn possessed a Mechanical Humanoid, replaced its power components with the Colossus Heart, and fitted the Curse Eye into its socket.
• Lynn tried to summon Little Eye Loli by activating Fate’s Dice, but the result triggered a wager against his curse target, Lynn, in which the lower roller would die.

Lynn accidentally triggered the Curse Eye’s life-and-death gamble against himself, tying Zuo Zuo to him as they faced possible instant death. They survived inside System Space, but the curse remained active, and Lynn prepared to use Titan Big Brother’s Undying Curse.

• Lynn rolled a die against himself after triggering the Gamble of Life and Death, making the lower result fatal.
• Zuo Zuo tried to take Death Star Crystals and abandon Lynn, but Lynn tied her to himself.

• Lynn waited for lightning to strike inside System Space, then realized the curse could not activate there.
• Lynn prepared to activate Titan Big Brother’s Undying Curse while the Demonization effect remained on him.

Lynn persuaded Zuo Zuo to provide nutrients so Little Eye Loli could cast the Undying Curse on him without backlash. The curse transformed Lynn into a monstrous mechanical head, and he prepared to charge out with his fury barely contained.

• The Curse Eye released its terrifying fluctuations before Little Eye Loli emerged from Lynn’s eye and demanded repayment of his debt.
• Lynn tried to pay Little Eye Loli with machine oil, but she rejected it as unacceptable nutrients.
• Lynn bribed Zuo Zuo and made her sign an agreement promising rewards in exchange for her help.
• Zuo Zuo let Little Eye Loli suck her finger for nutrients, then protested when Lynn teased her about blushing.
• Little Eye Loli cast the Undying Curse on Lynn, transforming him into an enormous mechanical head with steel-like tentacles.
• Lynn swallowed both lolis into his mouth, opened his system space, and prepared to charge out.

Lynn used the Titan’s Undying Curse to break out of the Mechanical Church’s underground Birthplace while the Purification Council tried to contain him. As he charged toward the surface, a powerful energy surge appeared in the black mist above it.

• The Purification Council prepared its Nanite Swarm and defenses, believing Lynn would reappear at the coordinates where he had vanished.
• Lynn told the Intelligent Brain to prepare an escape route, then opened a Light Gate and emerged as an enormous mechanical head protected by the Undying Curse.
• The Mechanical Church concentrated its fire on Lynn, but his curse let him withstand the barrage and smash through the underground layers toward the surface.
• The Purification Council deployed Nanomachines and sealed the routes upward, while the Intelligent Brain warned that Lynn would not reach the surface before his curse expired.
• Lynn brushed off the warning, and alarms reported a sharp rise in powerful energy fluctuations within the black mist above the surface.

Lynn used the Undying Curse’s lightning to destroy defenses and damage the Purification Council’s Hives while forcing the Intelligent Brain to face the consequences of helping him. He escaped to the surface, where the Mechanical Church surrounded him, and met their threats with a smile.

• Lynn confirmed that the Undying Curse triggered as soon as he entered the Main World, and he survived its first lightning strike.
• Lynn asked the Intelligent Brain to locate the Hives, then shifted underground to steer the next lightning strike into them.
• Lynn used successive lightning strikes to devastate the Hives and the Purification Council’s forces while taunting the Intelligent Brain.
• Lynn escaped through the lightning-blasted shaft and emerged aboveground amid the black mist.
• The Mechanical Church surrounded Lynn with its legions and sealed the space above the surface, but Lynn stayed put and told them to guess why.

Lynn escaped the Mechanical Church by using the Undying Curse and a staged rampage to distract the Purification Council while he uploaded himself into its data network. As he traveled toward Hive One with the Intelligent Brain, he urged her to leave the Mechanical Church and join him in Dark Night City.

• Lynn taunted the seven apparitions as the Undying Curse faded, and the Purification Council realized he might still be underground.
• The Purification Council sent mechanical troops to scan the underground area, but Lynn had already uploaded himself through an internal terminal with the Intelligent Brain's help.

• Lynn explained that his enormous display had distracted the Mechanical Church while he slipped out of his shell and joined the data network.
• Lynn thanked the Intelligent Brain for helping him escape and invited her to move Hive One to Dark Night City and take a position there.

Lynn escaped after humiliating the Purification Council, leaving them unable to locate him and shaken by their defeat. As the council struggled to recover, an ancient Machine Intelligence appeared and took control of every Mechanical Unit, criticizing the council and warning that Lynn’s recklessness would eventually cost him.

• Lynn taunted the Intelligent Brain and offered it a favor before leaving it furious.
• The Purification Council received reports of widespread destruction but found no trace of Lynn, and they discovered his damaged Mechanical Body playing a taunting message.
• A council projection erased his own consciousness, and the Chief ordered the others to keep searching for Lynn.
• An unfamiliar data presence froze the Mechanical Units and seized control of their bodies.
• An ancient figure in military attire appeared before the Purification Council, judged Lynn a worthy but reckless opponent, and pointed out the council’s failures.

Lynn returned to Hive One and forced the Intelligent Brain to serve him while he delayed rejoining his other consciousness. He questioned her about the Seven Gods and concluded that a hidden consciousness may have used his attack on the Mechanical Church’s Main Base to seize power.

• Lynn arrived safely inside Hive One, but told the Intelligent Brain he needed to rest before reconnecting with his other half.
• Lynn demanded a personal massage from the Intelligent Brain and provoked her with an unwanted advance, prompting her to punch him.
• Lynn stopped the Intelligent Brain from reporting him to the Purification Council and asked her to explain the Seven Gods.
• The Intelligent Brain said the Main Base’s information channels had suddenly gone silent, and Lynn warned that an unseen being might have noticed his return.
• Lynn reasoned that a newly split consciousness of Old Wànkūn could exploit the Main Base’s destruction and the Purification Council’s weakened authority to gain control.
