• Lynn drew a Holy World summoning array and used feathers from the Matriarch’s wings as beacons to locate her.
• Lynn told the Colossus Brain they would find the Matriarch, kill the Plague Doctor, and take her back.

Lynn prepared a vast magic array to summon the Matriarch and offered a stash of items he had secretly collected from his companions. After the Colossus Brain attacked him over the intimate keepsakes, he revealed his true offering was the flesh of the Lord of the Vision Realm, which he had collected during the battle.

• Lynn finished inscribing the enormous Origin magic array and told the Colossus Brain he had gathered materials for the summoning.
• Lynn presented keepsakes he had secretly taken from his companions, including a pair of the Colossus Brain’s panties, and described them as tokens of their bonds with the Matriarch.
• The Colossus Brain discovered her panties in the pile and pinned Lynn down in anger while he insisted the keepsakes were only supplementary materials.
• Lynn produced chunks of terrifyingly powerful flesh and identified them as belonging to the Lord of the Vision Realm.
• Lynn explained that the Lord of the Vision Realm had been torn apart while protecting him, and that he had collected the flesh in case they could use it to resurrect him.

Lynn used a piece of his friend’s flesh to summon the Matriarch and discovered that the Plague Doctors had prepared a trap for him. Rather than rush into it unprepared, he carried a dead Jailer out of a chaos-filled forbidden zone, intending to use the corpse’s power.

• Lynn told the Colossus Brain that he and the owner of the flesh were friends, then began the summoning to locate the Matriarch.
• At the Burial Grounds, a white-robed youth ordered the Feather Pen to find his connection to the dead Ravens and threatened the people in someone’s memories if he refused.

• Lynn carried a dead Jailer out of the chaos-filled forbidden zone and warned the Colossus Brain that the corpse could unleash an enormous blast.

Lynn confirmed that his Firstborn power could resist chaos and believed it was chaos’s greatest enemy, giving him a way to help the Colossus Brain and others fight the Jailers. In the Burial Grounds, the Pighead Butcher watched Lynn carry off a Jailer’s corpse and predicted he would eventually seek the dead Ravens to restore his soul.

• The Colossus Brain asked Lynn how he had withstood chaos, and Lynn explained that his Firstborn power largely negated its effects.
• Lynn set down a Jailer’s corpse and told the Colossus Brain that its former owner’s will had already been revived by its master.
• Lynn said his yellow-sand legacy was chaos’s greatest enemy and could eventually let the Colossus Brain and others stand against the Jailers; he asked if she wanted to see the corpse’s destructive power.
• The Pighead Butcher observed Lynn carrying away a Jailer’s corpse and noted that he had hidden a second one.
• The Pighead Butcher predicted Lynn would grow more adept with Firstborn power and eventually seek the dead Ravens to make his soul whole.

The boy questioned the Pighead Butcher about the Painter’s plan to resurrect the Violet Great Lord and concluded that his own endless sleep might prevent Reincarnation from restarting. Meanwhile, Lynn and the Colossus Brain entered the Burial Grounds and realized they may have walked into a Plague Doctor ambush.

• The boy asked whether the Painter intended to resurrect his previous incarnation, and the Pighead Butcher said he believed her goal was to resurrect the Violet Great Lord.
• The boy reasoned that his main self had chosen to sleep forever in loss so the dream would not end and Reincarnation would not restart, then wondered whether eternity truly existed.
• Lynn and the Colossus Brain arrived at the mist-shrouded Burial Grounds, suspecting the Plague Doctors had prepared to deal with them.
• The Colossus Brain noticed that the enormous skeletons carried an aura resembling that of Old Gods, and Lynn suspected the site was a burial ground for fallen Old Gods.
• As they ventured deeper into the mist and smelled blood, Lynn stopped the Colossus Brain and proposed that the Plague Doctors had turned the Burial Grounds into a Great Calamity-level trap.

Lynn and his companions were caught in a carefully prepared ambush using a vast Blood Mist and a plague curse designed to imprison and kill him. The attackers sealed the region, but Lynn remained protected inside a corpse’s absolute domain, with the Colossus Brain hidden beside him.

• Lynn predicted that their hidden enemies would attack, and the mist erupted into Blood Mist that swallowed him and his companions.
• Feather Pen worried as a boy urged her to trust Lynn’s preparations.
• Plague Doctors aboard concealed Flesh Leviathans bombarded the mist with Flesh Spores, creating a diseased forbidden zone tailored to counter Lynn’s abilities.
• The Plague Doctors ordered the mist expanded and the region’s space sealed to prevent Lynn’s escape.
• Deep in the Blood Mist, Lynn revealed that he and the Colossus Brain were sheltered inside a corpse’s protective domain, then warned her not to wriggle.

Lynn carried Brain through the Burial Zone, shielding her with his power and resisting the chaos of the corpse on his back. Drawn deeper by the Eye of Cthulhu and the lingering suffering of the Old Gods, he found a huge screaming embryo and realized it was how the Flesh Dominator had been born.

• Lynn told Brain that his power could protect her from the corpse’s chaos, then planned to leave the Burial Zone and attack the Plague Doctors’ main force.
• After hearing the shrieks deepen, Lynn turned away from the exit because the Eye of Cthulhu drew him toward the dead Old Gods’ lingering suffering.
• Lynn and Brain pushed through the blood mist toward the Burial Zone’s core as the chaos grew stronger and the Eye of Cthulhu began to weep black erosion marks.
• Lynn and Brain found a hill-sized embryo suspended in a chasm, whose cries spawned twisted phantoms and vengeful spirits.
• Lynn recognized the embryo as the source of the Flesh Dominator’s birth.

Lynn discovered that the Plague Doctors were accelerating a resentment-filled embryo in the Burial Grounds of the Old Days Deities. Using the Eye of Cthulhu, he tried to soothe the spirits within and found a way to endure their pain as he ventured deeper into the embryo’s mind.

• Lynn and the Colossus Brain identified the embryo as a potential mindless monster created from the resentment of the Old Days, which the Plague Doctors had secretly accelerated.
• Lynn removed the Eye of Cthulhu and found that its aura calmed the embryo and the resentful spirits around it.
• Lynn entered the Eye of Cthulhu’s Deep Blue Space and sent his will toward the embryo, where he was struck by the spirits’ malice, pain, and visions of the Old Gods’ deaths.
• Lynn used M-Power to convert half the pain into pleasure, allowing him to withstand the spirits’ suffering and continue deeper into the embryo’s mind.

While Lynn used Cthulhu’s presence to soothe the ancient wills trapped in the embryo, Brain accidentally touched him and disrupted his concentration. Lynn recovered and prepared to continue, but noticed that the disturbance had affected the Old Gods’ lingering wills.

• The Colossus Brain watched the embryo while Lynn focused on the Eye of Cthulhu, then felt something behind her and reached out.
• Lynn summoned Cthulhu’s presence, calming the embryo’s shrieking wills and drawing the Old Gods’ fragments around him.
• Brain accidentally touched Lynn, overwhelming his concentration and causing him to buckle and tighten his hold on her.
• Lynn warned Brain not to move while he refocused on the surrounding wills.
• Lynn noticed that M had leaked out and affected the Old Gods’ lingering wills.

Lynn discovered that the embryo was forming from the hateful remnants of fallen Old Gods and decided to try guiding it before it became a monster. The chapter ended with him using the Jailer's corpse to begin inscribing a magic array before the embryo.

• Lynn's leaked M altered the lingering thoughts around him, and he strengthened Cthulhu's aura to approach them in the embryo's mental domain.
• Lynn contacted the lingering thoughts in Cthulhu's name, but learned they had lost the ability to think and respond.
• Lynn told the Colossus Brain that the embryo would become a monster like the Flesh Dominator once it absorbed the resentful remnants.
• Lynn proposed guiding the embryo while it was still developing, despite the Colossus Brain warning that the resulting monster would rank among the Origins.
• Lynn took the Jailer's corpse from his back and began inscribing a magic array before the embryo.

Lynn used his Raven aura and an improvised performance to calm the lingering thoughts inside the enormous embryo. Their turmoil subsided, and he wondered if it was time for the baby to be born.

• Lynn's hair turned white as he assumed the appearance and aura of the ancient Raven remembered by the Old Gods.
• Lynn promised the embryo's lingering thoughts that he would lead them out of hell and bring them back to life.
• Zuo Zuo learned that Lynn's promises were improvised rather than memories he had awakened.
• The lingering thoughts responded to Lynn's Raven aura and followed his order not to let resentment taint the life growing in the embryo.
• The embryo's turmoil and anguished cries subsided, leaving Lynn to ask whether it was time to deliver the baby.

Lynn sought a way to speed the embryo’s birth and asked the Colossus Brain for colossus blood to catalyze it. After she unexpectedly agreed, he entered the embryo carrying the blood, leaving the outcome of his plan uncertain.

• Lynn told the Colossus Brain that the embryo’s resentment would return after he left and asked how to accelerate its development.
• The Colossus Brain agreed to provide colossus blood and cut her wrist to gather it, startling Lynn with her willingness.
• Lynn healed the Colossus Brain’s wrist, took the blood, and warned her to stay within his range while he worked.
• Lynn used Curse Removal to withstand the Abyss’s mutations, cut into the embryo with his Monomolecular Sword, and crawled inside carrying the colossus blood.

Lynn infused the Old Gods offspring inside the evil god embryo with colossus blood to hasten its birth and named it Eve. The Plague Doctors gathered their main force outside the Burial Zone, believing Lynn was trapped and preparing to report to the Matriarch.

• Lynn reached the embryo's deepest recesses and injected its forming offspring with droplets of colossus blood.
• Lynn emerged from the embryo covered in pus, then explained that the offspring would hatch within days or months and seek him in Dark Night City.
• Lynn named the offspring Eve, saying they would soon kill Adam.
• A Plague Doctor surveyed the blood mist and cursed blight surrounding the Burial Grounds and declared that Lynn could not escape.
• Tens of thousands of Flesh Leviathans gathered at the Burial Zone as the Plague Doctors prepared to report to the Matriarch and begin their rise in the Dark World.

Lynn emerged from the Blood Mist carrying a corpse, having survived the forbidden zone that the Plague Doctors and Uriel believed would trap and destroy him. His sudden appearance left the Plague Doctor legion in chaos as he fixed his gaze on them and said, “Found you.”

• Uriel questioned why the Blood Mist had remained quiet and ordered the Plague Doctors to stay alert until Lynn was confirmed dead.
• The Plague Doctors completed their formation and prepared to leave the forbidden zone while a small group remained to monitor it.
• A Plague Doctor spotted a human figure approaching through the Blood Mist and recognized him as Lynn.
• Alarms spread through the leviathan legion, and the Plague Doctors panicked when Lynn appeared alive.
• Lynn stepped out of the mist carrying a blood-soaked corpse, with Chaos keeping the curses at bay, and told the legion, “Found you.”

Lynn escaped the forbidden zone and confronted the Plague Doctors, demanding that they return his captive Matriarch. As the Plague Doctors prepared to attack his apparent double, Lynn revealed that he was using their focus to sneak toward the Matriarch.

• The Plague Doctors spotted Lynn emerging from the forbidden zone and ordered their Flesh Leviathans to turn and prepare for battle.
• Lynn admitted the curses had affected him but said his new trump cards had helped him escape.
• The Plague Doctors mobilized their Flesh Leviathans and cursed weapons, while their leader insisted Lynn would never find the Matriarch.

• Lynn revealed that the figure confronting them was his double, intended to distract them while he sneaked toward the Matriarch.

Lynn destroyed the Plague Doctor Group with an exploding Jailer corpse and confronted the Fallen Angel at their second base. He threatened to drive her out of the Matriarch’s body, but she attacked before he could act.

• Lynn detonated the Jailer corpse on his back, annihilating the Plague Doctors and leaving a crater more than ten kilometers across.
• The Fallen Angel lost contact with the Plague Doctor Group and realized Lynn had reached her base.
• Lynn emerged with Zuo Zuo and Brain, explained how he had made the corpse’s chaos power safe to exploit, and threatened the Fallen Angel.
• The Fallen Angel warned that killing her would prevent the Matriarch from returning, then spread her wings and launched a storm of black feathers at Lynn.
