Chapter Summaries

Lynn and the Matriarch restored Sir Awen using an ancient Cyber Civilization backup chip, but Lynn realized the backup predated his arrival in Dark Night City. The chapter ended with the Matriarch confirming that Sir Awen might not remember him.

• Lynn vowed to challenge the Machine Intelligence again and unite the Three Great Civilizations.
• Lynn brought the unstable Sir Awen to a secluded spot, where the Matriarch began transferring the backup chip’s data into him.
• The Matriarch explained that the chip held the Cyber Civilization’s legacy and had last been backed up long ago.
• As the transfer continued, Lynn remembered feeling that Silver Fantasy had seemed unfamiliar after waking and feared the backup would erase Sir Awen’s memories of him.
• The Matriarch finished the transfer and told Lynn that the last backup had been made before he arrived in Dark Night City.

Sir Awen awoke after his memory loss, remembering his former comrades but not Lynn. Lynn introduced himself again and asked Sir Awen to look after him.

• Sir Awen regained consciousness, and the Matriarch explained that she had used his backup chip after his memories were lost.
• Sir Awen said his personality data remained anchored to the time of the backup and recognized the Colossus as an old comrade.
• The Colossus and the Matriarch revealed that Lynn had brought the Colossus to Dark Night City.
• Sir Awen failed to recognize Lynn and politely asked who he was.
• Lynn took Sir Awen's hand, introduced himself, and asked him to look after him from then on.

Lynn returned to Dark Night City with the Matriarch, Sir Awen, and the Colossus, bringing the city hope as its strength recovered. He then worked with the city's potion makers to revive the Mother Tree of Desire, but her body recovered while her consciousness remained unresponsive.

• On the journey home, Sir Awen admitted he had forgotten his friendship with Lynn, and Lynn reassured him and welcomed him back as his big brother.
• Lynn brought the Matriarch, Sir Awen, and the Colossus back to Dark Night City, where the residents celebrated their return.
• Two days later, Titan Head woke from his sleep, leaving only the Mother Tree of Desire still unconscious.
• Lynn gathered Dark Night City's potion makers and began treating the Mother Tree of Desire, using samples and information recovered from the Plague Doctors.
• The potion makers reported that the Mother Tree's roots and trunk were recovering, but her soul and consciousness showed no signs of improvement.

Lynn considered how to revive the severely damaged Mother Tree of Desire and decided that the Flesh Dominator could become the nourishment she needed. As Dark Night City prepared for an uncertain conflict and Lynn mourned Miss Doll, he opened the Matriarch’s reward, the Mark of the Curse-Bearer.

• Lynn rejected using Colossus Flesh to restore the Mother Tree because it would amount to trading one life for another.
• Lynn resolved to kill the Flesh Dominator and feed his power to the Mother Tree to revive her.
• Lynn assessed the dangers facing Dark Night City, including the Seven Gods’ growing strength, Titan Big Brother’s anger, and the Flesh Dominator’s authorities.
• Lynn remembered Miss Doll and vowed to find her and prevent anyone from using her again.
• The next day, Lynn opened his reward from the Matriarch’s mission and received the Mark of the Curse-Bearer.

Lynn bound the Curse-Bearer’s Sigil to Zuo Zuo, giving him a new channel for his powers through his left hand. Zuo Zuo discovered that the mark had left her transformed human body covered in black tattoos.

• Lynn examined the Curse-Bearer’s Sigil and decided to bind it to Zuo Zuo rather than himself.
• While Zuo Zuo argued with Lynn about his plans and past behavior, he pinned her down and activated the sigil.
• The sigil completed its bond with Lynn’s left hand, and the system confirmed that he could use its abilities through Zuo Zuo.
• Zuo Zuo rushed to a mirror and transformed into a human body to inspect the mark.
• Zuo Zuo saw dark patterns spread across her back and realized she had become a tattooed little loli.

Lynn showed Zuo Zuo how the Curse Seal let her channel the Colossus Heart’s power through a fleshy blade, but her first swing unleashed a devastating blast and overloaded him. The chapter ended with Zuo Zuo checking Lynn’s fever after he recovered enough to rap her on the head.

• Zuo Zuo discovered a large mark from the Curse Seal on her back and angrily blamed Lynn, who teased her before explaining its benefits.
• Lynn guided Zuo Zuo as she formed a blade of flesh and explained that she could wield the Colossus Heart’s power with exceptional control.
• Zuo Zuo swung the blade at the mirror, sending out a torrent of blood energy that cleaved the room and severed the High Tower in Dark Night City.
• Lynn collapsed from the strain of the blast, and Zuo Zuo panicked and called for Brain.
• After several minutes, Lynn recovered enough to rap Zuo Zuo on the head, and she checked his temperature with a thermometer.

After discovering that Zuo Zuo could unleash the Colossus Heart’s power, Lynn reflected on his unusual connection to divinity and the Trinity. He used the mark linking him to Zuo Zuo to stir his accumulated divinity, causing green shoots and flowers to emerge from his body.

• Zuo Zuo scolded Lynn for triggering the Colossus Heart’s high-output mode without warning, while Lynn realized she could access nearly all of its power.
• Lynn reflected on his possessiveness toward Zuo Zuo, the Colossus, Brain, and Tongue.
• Lynn considered how divinity and rules worked, concluding that his inherited firstborn nature let him combine divinities that would conflict in others.
• Lynn reasoned that this made the Trinity’s ultimate challenge easier for him because he already possessed firstborn power.
• Lynn used the curse seal on Zuo Zuo’s hand to stir his accumulated divinity, and faint green shoots and flowers began growing from his body.
• Zuo Zuo stared in shock and cried out that Lynn was growing fruit.

Lynn explored the Mother Tree’s nature divinity and suffered a temporary transformation as it grew vines and plants through his body. By harmonizing the divinity with Firstborn power, he learned to channel its powers of healing and growth, and began to suspect that Firstborn power could manifest as rules.

• Lynn’s body sprouted vines, branches, leaves, and fruit as he touched the Mother Tree’s nature divinity, while Zuo Zuo watched in shock.
• Lynn pulled a vine from his mouth and seeds from his ear, then explained that the divinity’s power was causing backlash because it did not belong to him.
• Lynn used a sliver of Firstborn power to reconnect with the nature divinity and channel green light into the Night Demon Blade.
• Lynn healed his wounds with the blade and made the flower seeds grow into person-high plants that pierced the granite.
• Lynn sensed that Firstborn power had harmonized with the nature divinity and briefly granted him an absolute authority over growth.

Lynn trained Zuo Zuo to control the Colossus Heart’s power precisely through the Curse Seal, rather than releasing it all at once. After three days of practice, Zuo Zuo completed his challenge, but Lynn revealed that she had missed one of his conditions.

• Lynn decided to train Zuo Zuo to master her power and prepare them to seek the Dollhouse.
• For three days, Lynn practiced using the Curse Seal to access Divinity while Zuo Zuo trained outside the city.
• Lynn challenged Zuo Zuo to carve the character 正 into every weapon held by his tentacles and stab him through the chest without harming his organs.
• Zuo Zuo dodged and parried the tentacles, carved the characters into the weapons, and thrust the Night Demon Blade through a gap between Lynn’s ribs.
• Zuo Zuo declared victory, but Lynn teased her by pointing out that she had overlooked a condition.

Lynn tricked Zuo Zuo into losing their wager, but she ran off rather than accept the punishment. He waited for her to return, then caught her with a tentacle and revealed that he had been waiting nearby.

• Lynn argued that his knife and Zuo Zuo counted as weapons in his hands, declaring her the loser of their wager.
• Zuo Zuo fled into the Hell vegetation and hid, expecting Lynn to search for her.
• After waiting in vain and waving a tiny flag to attract Lynn, Zuo Zuo angrily returned to their training spot.
• Lynn caught Zuo Zuo by the ankle with a tentacle and explained that he had taken a nap while waiting for her to come back.

Lynn caught Zuo Zuo after she returned and used his tentacles to tease and restrain her under the pretense of punishing her for defeat. He released her before forcing anything, then held her gently while Zuo Zuo suspected he was trying to make her cuddle him voluntarily.

• Zuo Zuo panicked when Lynn revealed he had expected her to return after fleeing.
• Lynn restrained the struggling Zuo Zuo with his tentacles and claimed the treatment was punishment to motivate her.
• Zuo Zuo became exhausted and was left flushed and disheveled after Lynn stopped and released her.
• Lynn caught Zuo Zuo and said he would not force her to do anything against her will.
• Zuo Zuo rejected Lynn's apparent attempt to get her to snuggle up to him.

During Lynn’s training, Zuo Zuo’s embarrassment and anger gave way to a sudden burst of Colossus power that knocked him down. In Dark Night City, the silver-eyed girl sensed the frenzy in the energy and prepared to rush to their aid.

• Zuo Zuo resisted Lynn’s teasing as he pretended not to understand what she wanted.
• Zuo Zuo climbed onto Lynn and bit his neck, drawing blood as he caught her to keep her from falling.
• Zuo Zuo’s divine mark blazed with black light, unleashing Colossus power that knocked Lynn to the ground.
• The silver-eyed girl sensed the frenzied energy from Dark Night City, opened the window, and activated the Colossus Network to contact Lynn and the others.

The Colossus Brain accidentally shared her Queen’s intense sensations through the Colossus Network and struggled to disconnect without endangering her. When Sir Awen arrived to collect records, she stopped him from entering, leaving him puzzled by her voice.

• The Colossus Brain linked her thoughts with her Queen and sensed that her Queen was engaged in an intimate encounter with a familiar man.
• The Colossus Brain panicked and tried to stop the encounter, but the shared sensations affected her as well.
• She tried to sever the Colossus Network link but realized doing so could strain her Queen while her power was running wild.
• Sir Awen arrived to receive recent records about Dark Night City and asked to enter her room.
• The Colossus Brain shouted, “Don't come in!” and Sir Awen stopped at the door, confused by her voice.

The Colossus Brain struggled to conceal the sensations she shared with the Queen while Sir Awen checked on her. After he left, she tried to go rescue the Queen, but another shocking sensation through the Colossus Network left her frozen and wondering if she had felt the same strange power Lynn used to suppress her curse.

• Sir Awen heard the Colossus Brain's strained voice and asked whether she was all right.
• The Colossus Brain blamed her trembling on cultivating and angrily ordered Sir Awen to leave.
• Sir Awen withdrew to his quarters after offering to help if anything was wrong.
• Once Sir Awen had gone, the Colossus Brain hurried to open the window and rescue her Queen from Lynn.
• A new sensation through the Colossus Network overwhelmed the Colossus Brain, and she sensed a familiar warmth like the power Lynn had used to suppress her curse.

Lynn’s encounter with Zuo Zuo unexpectedly nourished the Colossus Network and weakened the curse, while the system rewarded his progress with the Colossus Twins. Afterward, he noticed a tiny movement in his right little finger.

• Zuo Zuo sensed the curse fading as a strange power flowed through the Colossus Network and made her connection to the scattered Colossus Flesh clearer.
• The silver-eyed girl felt the shared power nourish both her and the Queen, then struggled with her feelings as she experienced Lynn’s encounter through their shared senses.
• The system announced that Lynn’s taming progress had reached 66% for the Colossus Heart and 27% for the Colossus Brain, granting him rewards and the “two birds with one stone” achievement.
• Lynn woke from the encounter in the deserted wasteland with Zuo Zuo unconscious in his arms and wondered why the system had awarded him that achievement.
• Lynn noticed his right little finger twitch unmistakably.

Lynn sensed that his severed bond with Black String Moon had briefly returned and discovered signs of the Dollhouse near a distant castle. He gathered Dark Night City's Origins to seek her and their missing companions, but a colossal being suddenly appeared in the subterranean temple and called him its son-in-law.

• Lynn briefly reconnected with Black String Moon and concluded that she was still alive.
• Lynn used the Eye of Cthulhu through a Night Doctor to observe a distant castle he suspected was the Dollhouse's hiding place.
• Lynn returned to Dark Night City and contacted its Origins, intending to bring Miss Doll back and prepare for possible hostility.
• Lynn met the chained Matriarch and Sir Awen in the subterranean temple.
• A colossal creature broke through above the temple and addressed Lynn as its son-in-law.

Lynn told Dark Night City’s three Roots that he had found the Dollhouse and needed to rescue Miss Doll, and they pledged to help him. Titan Head offered to retrieve her by force and destroy everything else in the way.

• Titan Head reunited with Lynn, apologized for not being present during Dark Night City’s fall, and clashed with Self-Binding Angel over the damage he had caused to her Divine Temple.
• Lynn explained that he had located the Dollhouse and was certain Miss Doll was there, and said he wanted to bring her to Dark Night City because he could not let her risk her life for him again.
• Self-Binding Angel promised that she and Dark Night City would support Lynn, while Sir Awen also pledged to help despite his missing memories.
• Titan Head volunteered to bring Miss Doll back in one piece and asked whether he should spare the people or the city while destroying everything else.

Lynn and Titan Head planned to retrieve someone from the Dollhouse, but Witch God Head stopped them from reshuffling their family roles. The family reunited, and Brain arrived acting strangely, leaving Lynn to wonder what had happened to her.

• Lynn warned Titan Head that they should avoid fighting the Dollhouse, but Titan Head offered to let Lynn become the big brother if he failed to claim the Castle within half an hour.
• Witch God Head smacked Lynn and Titan Head for trying to change their family hierarchy, while Xiao Xiao comforted Lynn and accidentally aggravated his head injury.
• Lynn noted that Feather Pen was still missing as Sir Awen asked why Brain had not arrived.
• Brain emerged from the corridor looking listless and flushed, then avoided Lynn's touch and said she would simply listen.
• Lynn noticed Brain's blush resembled Zuo Zuo's after strenuous activity and wondered what had happened.

Lynn and the others discovered that Brain's curse might have weakened after she unexpectedly demonstrated greater power, though she refused to explain how. Sir Awen then asked why Brain had become a little girl, and Lynn admitted that he had transformed her.

• Brain punched the ground beside Lynn after he asked if she had been doing something embarrassing by herself.
• The Titan Head noticed Brain's punch was stronger than usual and suggested that her curse's suppression had weakened.
• Brain said the change had been a coincidence and asked everyone not to question her until she knew whether the curse would rebound.
• Sir Awen asked why Brain had become a little girl, and Lynn said he had turned her into one.
• Lynn defended Brain's new form as practical while Brain glared at him.

Lynn gathered his family in Dark Night City and decided to confront the Dollhouse to bring Miss Doll back, no matter the cost. At the castle, Madam Doll learned that Xian Yue’s soul was fluctuating between recovery and near-total destruction, and feared she might eventually be unable to return.

• Lynn told the Matriarch, Sir Awen, Titan Big Brother's Family, and Brain that Miss Doll was being held at the castle and that he intended to restore her.
• Lynn declared that he would open a Boundary Gate and demand Miss Doll’s return, using force if necessary.
• Madam Doll remembered the terrifying power Lynn had revealed during the hunt and wondered what secrets he concealed.
• Cang Xuanyue told Madam Doll that Xian Yue’s soul kept swinging between near-complete recovery and shattering into fragments.
• Madam Doll worried that Xian Yue might one day lose even the fragments of her soul and never return.
