Chapter Summaries

The Colossus Brain revealed that Lynn was genetically identified as Raven, the ancient founder of the Colossus Civilization, and transferred one percent of her authority to him. She discovered that Lynn had also gained another 0.2 percent from the Colossus Heart, and asked him how it happened.

• Lynn struggled to accept the Colossus Brain's claim that he was the ancient Raven, then joked that she should call him Dad.
• Zuo Zuo interrupted to defend the Colossus Brain, while Lynn told her the question did not need to be resolved immediately.
• The Colossus Brain confirmed that she had transferred one percent of the Colossus's power and authority to Lynn.
• Lynn noticed the system recorded that he had received 1.2 percent, not one percent.
• The Colossus Brain checked the Colossus Heart through Zuo Zuo and found that 0.2 percent of its authority was missing.
• The Colossus Brain asked Lynn how he had obtained the extra 0.2 percent from the Colossus Heart.

Lynn discovered that he had gained 0.2% Authority over the Colossus and suspected it came from his past intimate encounters with Zuo Zuo. Back in his room, he explored his new Blood Energy and tentacle-control abilities, then tried to persuade Zuo Zuo to take human form for a test.

• The Colossus Brain told Lynn that his 0.2% Authority meant he had officially become part of the Colossus, and Lynn suspected it came from his intimate encounters with Zuo Zuo.
• Lynn returned to his room and found that his cells could produce Blood Energy, which he controlled as an extension of himself.
• Lynn extended and reshaped hundreds of tentacles with ease, realizing his new power had greatly improved his control.
• Lynn told Zuo Zuo that he needed her help with a dangerous test, then asked her to take human form so he could explain it.
• Zuo Zuo grew wary and asked whether Lynn only wanted her to take human form so he could bully her, and Lynn protested that she saw him as depraved.

Lynn persuaded Zuo Zuo to take human form so he could verify how his stronger body affected her, then deliberately exploited his oath by stripping in front of her. Zuo Zuo angrily realized Lynn dropped his gentlemanly act only around her because he considered her his own.

• Lynn swore that every version of himself would avoid doing anything to Zuo Zuo beyond verification, and Zuo Zuo agreed to take human form.
• Zuo Zuo transformed into a girl and asked Lynn to prepare clothes for her next time.
• Lynn's clothes suddenly exploded off, leaving Zuo Zuo stunned before she wrapped herself in a towel and yelled at him.
• Lynn claimed that exposing himself counted as verification, then admitted he only stripped in front of Zuo Zuo because she belonged to him.
• Zuo Zuo accused Lynn of being a perverted lolicon and concluded that he behaved differently around her because he did not bother pretending to be a gentleman.

Lynn verified that stimulating the Colossus Heart transferred a hidden part of its power or consciousness to him, though the experiment left Zuo Zuo battered. When Zuo Zuo recovered and discovered Lynn had recorded evidence of her reaction, she attacked him with a kitchen knife.

• Lynn completed a stage of verifying the Colossus Heart after sensing something merge into his consciousness during the experiment with Zuo Zuo.
• Lynn concluded that the Colossus Heart's power flowed into his bloodline after first affecting his consciousness.
• Lynn revived the unconscious Zuo Zuo with vodka and apologized for pushing the experiment too far.
• Zuo Zuo pulled out a kitchen knife and tried to attack Lynn, blaming him for his lustful behavior.
• Lynn played a recording of Zuo Zuo's reaction, enraging her and prompting her to attack him again.

Lynn brought the unconscious Zuo Luo to the Colossus Brain and asked her to measure his Colossus share. The share had increased by 0.1%, leaving the Brain furious and suspicious about how Lynn had obtained it.

• Lynn carried the unconscious Zuo Luo to the Colossus Brain’s residence after she tried and failed to cut off Blockhead’s weapon.
• The Colossus Brain accused Lynn of harming her Queen, but he redirected her attention by asking for another test of his share.
• The Colossus Brain tested Lynn and found that his share had increased by 0.1%, apparently transferred from her heart’s share.
• Lynn suggested the transfer might be connected to Raven, while the Colossus Brain noted that Zuo Zuo looked weak and questioned how the transfer worked.
• The Colossus Brain struggled to contain her anger and studied Lynn with an invasive gaze, convinced that other factors must be involved.

Lynn survived having most of his body blasted apart, and Colossus Brain discovered that the Mother Tree of Desire’s power had fused with his body and given him a devouring trait. She concluded that this power, combined with Lynn’s connection to Raven and the Colossus, could let him transfer shares of the Colossus through physical intimacy; Lynn then considered using the method on Zuo Zuo.

• Lynn asked Colossus Brain whether she planned to dissect him, then tried to provoke her and was blasted apart, losing 73% of his body tissue.
• Lynn regenerated his body while Colossus Brain watched, and she reached into him to pull out phantom blood-red vines connected to his organs and meridians.
• Colossus Brain identified the vines as the Mother Tree of Desire’s power, which had rooted itself in Lynn’s cells and given him a devouring ability.
• Colossus Brain reasoned that Lynn’s desire-domain power and devouring trait, combined with his genetic connection to Raven and the Colossus, enabled peaceful transfers of Colossus shares through physical intimacy.
• Lynn asked whether he could take shares from Colossus Brain and Zuo Zuo, but Colossus Brain refused to try it.
• Lynn calculated how many times he would need to use the method on Zuo Zuo to obtain more of the Colossus’s heart share, alarming Colossus Brain.

Lynn tried to persuade the Colossus Brain to transfer more of the Colossus’s power, but she refused and accused him of wanting to defile her and Zuo Zuo. He dragged both girls home anyway, where Brain remained protective of the sleeping Zuo Zuo and insisted she would only transfer power by another method.

• Lynn warned the Colossus Brain that transferring more power could leave her weakened, then tried to convince her that he needed strength to protect his loved ones.
• The Colossus Brain refused to transfer power by Lynn’s preferred method and offered to hand him control of the Colossus when he needed to fight instead.
• When the Colossus Brain refused to release Zuo Zuo, Lynn dragged both girls through Dark Night City toward his home.
• Lynn brought the Colossus Brain and Zuo Zuo into his residence, while Brain held the sleeping Zuo Zuo protectively and warned him to stay back.
• Lynn asked whether Brain would transfer more of her share, and she said she might, but not by his method.

Lynn integrated the Colossus's powers and persuaded the wary Colossus Brain to share his bed with Zuo Zuo. When Zuo Zuo unexpectedly turned back into Lynn's left hand, the Colossus Brain demanded he restore her, but Zuo Zuo woke briefly and told them to be quiet.

• Lynn discovered that the Colossus's flesh let him control every cell and spread his mind through his body.
• Lynn persuaded the Colossus Brain to let Zuo Zuo sleep beside them in his bed.

• Zuo Zuo woke briefly, told the Colossus Brain and Lynn to keep it down, and fell asleep again.
• Lynn asked whether he should use Mimicry, and the Colossus Brain fell silent.

Lynn absorbed the memories and power of an ancient raven while the Colossus Brain watched, overcome by her civilization’s deep-rooted reverence for the raven. He teased her about whether she could refuse him, then pulled her onto his lap and kissed her, leaving her stunned.

• The Colossus Brain fell asleep while hugging Zuo Zuo, and Lynn lay beside her.

• Lynn pulled the Colossus Brain onto his lap and kissed her, leaving her mind blank.

Lynn teased the Colossus Brain, refusing to exploit her devotion to the Raven and promising to earn her affection as himself before devouring the remaining half of the Raven’s corpse. Outside Dark Night City, a monstrous presence devoured a giant bird and turned its many eyes toward the city.

• Lynn stripped the Colossus Brain but stopped before going further, explaining that he wanted her to accept him as Lynn rather than obey him because of the Raven’s influence.

• A malformed giant bird sensed danger outside Dark Night City and tried to flee, but an aberrated blood vessel dragged it into the mist and devoured it.
• Many eyes opened in the darkness and stared toward the resplendent City of Night.

Lynn devoured more of Raven’s soul and uncovered memories suggesting Raven had rebuilt himself after death, then secretly gathered the Old Days Deities and led them into a devastating war. The memories were cut off before Lynn could learn why Raven had started the conflict.

• Lynn organized Raven’s memories among his cellular factors so they could not overwhelm or replace his consciousness.
• At 61%, Lynn saw Raven rebuilding his body from machinery, flesh, and psionics, then heard him speak about cleaning up the corruption with someone else.
• Lynn wondered whether he had existed in Raven’s distant past, but kept his discovery from the Colossus Brain and continued devouring the corpse.
• At 75%, Lynn saw Raven visit the Old Days Deities across the Dark World, give them hope, and urge them to wait while they prepared to resist their jailers.
• Raven gathered the surviving ancient deities and led them into a war in which countless Old Days Deities died, but the memories ended before Lynn learned Raven’s purpose.

Lynn absorbed more of Raven’s memories and saw him return to the wasteland after the Old Days War, where he promised the surviving remnants that they would escape. The memories nearly overwhelmed Lynn, and after the Colossus Brain helped stabilize him, he wondered whether Raven’s final destination was connected to the origin of the Flesh Dominator.

• Lynn pushed Raven’s memories to 85 percent before reaching the limit of what he could endure.
• Lynn witnessed Raven wandering the devastated world after the Old Days War and promising the broken remnants, “We will...”
• Lynn’s cells began splitting under the overload, so he drank the Colossus Brain’s blood to temporarily stabilize himself.
• The Colossus Brain scolded Lynn for taking in more than he could handle and asked what he had seen.
• Lynn connected the heaps of Old Days flesh in Raven’s memory to the Flesh Dominator and wondered where Raven had last appeared.

Lynn and the Colossus Brain traded teasing remarks until a cold presence seeped into Dark Night City and triggered alarms. As the city went into lockdown, the Colossus Brain joined Sir Awen above the square, where he questioned why she had come from Lynn’s home.

• Lynn said that absorbing the Raven’s power would take time but could increase the primordial power he controlled.

• Dark Night City went into lockdown behind a holy barrier, and the Colossus Brain appeared beside Sir Awen above the city square.
• Sir Awen asked why the Colossus Brain had come from Lynn’s home, and she warned that whoever asked that question would die.

Sir Awen and the Colossus Brain discovered a Root-Level flesh creature spreading beneath Dark Night City and tore it into the sky before it could destroy the city’s foundations. The Archangel’s golden flames began burning it, but they held back to investigate its identity.

• Sir Awen and the Colossus Brain sensed an intruder underground and attacked it beneath the plaza.
• The Colossus Brain pulled a mass of writhing flesh from below, revealing a Root-Level creature that attacked them and rapidly regenerated.
• Sir Awen sensed that the creature had spread beneath the entire city, so he made Dark Night City insubstantial.
• The Colossus Brain used her phantom’s strength to tear the creature free and hurl it into the sky.
• The Archangel’s golden feathers set the creature ablaze, and Sir Awen warned the Matriarch not to burn it up before they learned what it was.

Sir Awen and Colossus Brain captured a writhing Old God and discovered it carried a trace of Colossus cells, making it Colossus Brain’s descendant. When Lynn arrived, the creature recognized him as its biological father, burst free, and lunged onto him.

• Sir Awen contained and compressed the enormous creature while Colossus Brain examined its flesh and found it both immature and ancient.
• The voice from the Black Fortress identified the creature as an Old God, and Colossus Brain connected to it through her transdimensional link.
• Colossus Brain sensed her Colossus cells in the creature and realized it was her descendant rather than the Flesh Dominator’s son.
• Lynn arrived, and the creature recognized him, broke through Sir Awen’s psionic sphere, and covered him with its writhing body.
• The creature licked Lynn’s face and called him “Dad.”

Lynn recognized the monstrous creature attacking Dark Night City as Eve, an Old Gods offspring he had modified and helped hatch, and accepted her as his daughter. After Eve calmed down and called him Dad, Sir Awen explained that her aura had helped conceal the Plague Doctors' Main Base.

• Eve called Lynn Dad, causing the people around them to stop fighting and wonder whether she was really his child.
• Lynn remembered modifying an embryo made from Old Gods flesh and identified the creature as Eve.
• Eve acknowledged Lynn as her father, and he told everyone to stop suppressing her.
• Lynn examined Eve's profile and learned that his modifications had dispelled her ancient hatred, though she could still become a terrifying God of the Old Days without guidance.
• Half an hour later, Lynn explained Eve's connection to the Colossus's cells, and Sir Awen said Eve's aura had helped hide the Plague Doctors' Main Base.

Lynn brought Eve home and embraced his role as her father, convinced he could raise the dangerous offspring of an old god into a good monster. He gave her a bath and examined her strange body, leaving her newly adopted family together at home.

• The Self-Binding Angel warned that Eve was evil, but Lynn fed her a lollipop and decided he had a responsibility to raise her.
• Eve bit through Lynn’s Cat Teaser and part of his hand, while Lynn praised her energy and brought her home.
• Lynn told Eve he was her father and that she had to listen to him, and she pounced on him affectionately.
• Lynn washed Eve in a bathtub with boiling water, perfume, soap, and other cleaning products, but her slime made the water grow sticky and fragrant.
• After bathing her, Lynn saw that Eve’s tangled blood vessels were limbs wrapped around hidden mouths with sharp teeth, and that she had many eyes.

Lynn put the newly hatched Eve to bed, but she secretly crawled into his room and bit Zuo Zuo out of jealousy before disguising herself as an innocent lump of blood vessels. After Lynn carried her back to her room, Eve transformed again in the darkness and watched the door with possessive intensity.

• Lynn settled Eve in the neighboring room and fell asleep, exhausted from devouring Raven.
• Eve crawled into Lynn's bed and began to approach him, but Zuo Zuo's sneeze drew her attention.

• Lynn warned Eve not to bite people and carried her back to her room, where she later transformed into a skinless, blood-red girl and stared possessively at the door.

After waking with Eve wrapped around him, Lynn decided he should not train her alone and summoned his other adopted daughters for group discipline. He began taking attendance in Dark Night City's meeting hall, then insisted that the furious Colossus Brain be included too.

• Lynn woke to find Eve's blood vessels spread over him, and she licked his face when she woke.
• Lynn worried that he might misuse Mimicry on Eve and decided not to be alone with her.
• Lynn gathered Xiao Xiao, Zuo Luo, the catgirl, Eve, and another little daughter in Dark Night City's meeting hall to begin training.
• Lynn triggered a corruption achievement as he enjoyed taking attendance among the girls.
• The Colossus Brain angrily questioned why she had been summoned, and Lynn decided she had to be included.

Lynn led his unusual family group on a team-building outing and tried to teach them harmony by having them cook together. When Zuo Zuo and Brain attempted to sneak away, Lynn stopped them, then discovered the others had vanished from the courtyard.

• Lynn persuaded the embarrassed Colossus Brain to join the team-building outing by making her a deputy parent and dangling Zuo Zuo's fate as leverage.
