Chapter Summaries

Lynn and Zuo Zuo infiltrated the Endless Fire Domain and discovered a vast mechanical war base. They found Brain trapped inside a hexagonal cage while the Dragon Head ordered its completion and searched for another Origin.

• Lynn sensed Brain’s cellular activity suddenly weaken, so he hurried toward her with Zuo Zuo.
• Lynn discovered that the God of Ten Thousand Machines had transformed the basin into a vast industrial base filled with warships, Nanomachines, and Death Star Hives.
• Lynn followed a Nanite Storm toward Brain and felt the transdimensional link between them weakening.
• Lynn and Zuo Zuo found Brain imprisoned inside a massive hexagonal cage being assembled around a hollowed-out volcano.
• The Dragon Head emerged from the magma and ordered the cage finished quickly, warning that the Scholar’s model might not suppress Brain for long and asking whether they had found the other infiltrating Origin.

Lynn and Zuo Zuo overheard Dragon Head and a Nanite Swarm figure discuss the search for Daughter and their concerns about Dragon Head’s emotions. With Mechanical Maiden possibly still at large and the Seven Gods’ plans becoming clearer, Lynn decided to airdrop their army into enemy territory to reach Colossus.

• Dragon Head told the Nanite Swarm figure that General and Scholar would deal with the Dollhouse while they searched for Daughter, and he offered the Purification Council authority to dismantle him if he ever wavered.
• The Nanite Swarm figure said it trusted and revered Dragon Head, then vanished in a storm of mechanical nanomachines.
• Lynn and Zuo Zuo watched the conversation, and Lynn considered whether Scholar was the newly revealed sixth member of the Seven Gods.
• Lynn refused to contact Brain because a stronger exchange of information could expose their infiltration.
• Lynn pointed toward an undeveloped volcanic range and proposed airdropping their army into enemy territory to reach Colossus.

Lynn secretly built his personal Summoning Magic Array inside an active volcano and split his soul into thirty-two selves to reduce the cost of summoning himself. He used a bead made from his colossus blood to activate the array, and the Nanite Swarms began chanting for his arrival.

• Lynn slipped away from the prison-building area and entered a nearby active volcano to construct his Summoning Magic Array.
• Lynn split his soul repeatedly into thirty-two selves, explaining that the summoning coordinates needed to lock onto only the largest portion.
• Lynn gathered his Nanite Swarms into a tiny Blood Bead and dropped it into the completed array as the sacrifice.
• The array glowed scarlet as Lynn's cells chanted an invocation summoning him from within the Mechanical Church.

Lynn used a summoning ritual to break through Hell Boundary and enter the Volcanic Range, where he unleashed his army against Extinction’s Nanite Swarms. The chapter ended with Lynn challenging Extinction to a battle between the swarms and his upgraded flesh plague.

• Lynn activated the summoning ritual, and one thirty-second of him appeared inside the crater near Hellfire Corridor before accepting the pulse and vanishing.
• Extinction sensed the summoning from Active Volcano and destroyed the volcano, but Lynn emerged from the magma with his Trident.
• Lynn opened Light Gates and sent the Night Doctor troops, Witch God Head, and Eve into a surprise attack on the Nanite Swarms.
• The Night Doctors fired plague-laden explosive rounds, and the flesh plague began destroying the nanomachines.
• Lynn explained that he had upgraded the flesh plague with help from Dark Night City's Royal Potion Makers Association and challenged Extinction to see whose weapon was stronger.

Lynn led a surprise assault on the Mechanical Church to rescue Colossus, but discovered the signal had been forged and he had walked into a trap. The Mechanical Church revealed it had cracked Colossus's transdimensional sense and proposed an alliance, while Lynn demanded its disarmament, core technology, permissions, and the release of Miss Machine Intelligence.

• Lynn and the Night Doctor Collective attacked the Mechanical Church under cover of the Flesh Plague, while Extinction called for reinforcements.
• Lynn and the Witch God Head broke through the hexagonal cage, and Lynn carved a path toward the signal he believed was Colossus Brain.
• Lynn found only a machine containing a scrap of Colossus flesh and destroyed it, causing the Colossus presence and transdimensional signal to vanish.
• The Mechanical Church projected a mechanical face that revealed it had manipulated Colossus's transdimensional sense to lure Lynn into the cage.
• The mechanical face proposed joining forces, and Lynn replied that the Church must disarm, hand over its core technology and permissions, and release Miss Machine Intelligence.

Lynn rejected the Mechanical Church’s offer to cooperate, and they trapped him in a space where the laws’ effects had been altered. The General arranged a deal with an unknown group in the Main Universe, while Lynn faced the trap’s rapidly expanding space.

• Lynn told the Mechanical Church that he would destroy the machines rather than join forces with them, and the mechanical face declared war.
• The space around Lynn and Zuo Zuo transformed into a vast field of floating cubes, and Lynn realized the laws’ effects had been tampered with.
• Lynn used firstborn power to restore his abilities within a few meters, but the space around him continued expanding at an accelerating rate.
• The mechanical face told the General that maintaining the spatial trap was costly, and the General said it only needed to hold temporarily.
• The General showed the mechanical face a symbol of a gigantic eye and said that they in the Main Universe were willing to make a trade.

The Machine Intelligence Civilization’s general revealed to Scholar that he planned to betray the others and sacrifice their vessel and Mathematical Magic to the Calamity in exchange for his people’s survival. Outside the hexagonal prison, Witch God Head realized Lynn had vanished from her senses and suspected the mission was a trap.

• The general told Scholar that the Calamity’s emissary had offered their civilization a chance to survive if they restrained Lynn and performed a ritual sacrificing Mathematical Magic.
• Scholar questioned whether the offer was trustworthy, but the general argued that exiling their enemy could only benefit them and ordered Dragon Head, Extinction, and the others to use the invaders’ blood as fuel for the ritual.
• Witch God Head’s group came under heavy attack as the Nanite Swarm withdrew and Death Star Hives bombarded the battlefield with particle weapons.
• Witch God Head tried to contact Lynn inside the hexagonal prison but could not sense him, then struck the prison with witchcraft and found her attack weakened within it.
• Witch God Head concluded that something had happened to Lynn and recognized that they had walked into a trap.

Lynn found himself trapped inside the rising hexagonal prison while the Machine Gods turned on the flesh plague outside. He released chaos matter and prepared to cultivate a Devourer, and Zuo Zuo discovered that Lynn had collected something labeled with his name.

• The hexagonal prison rose as the Mechanical Dragon and Star Embracer completed the encirclement, and Scholar ordered the Machine Gods to eliminate the flesh creatures.
• The Nanite Swarm formed a magic array while Dragon Head, Extinction, and Star Embracer joined the attack on the flesh plague.
• The Witch God Head ordered Eve to destroy the cube, but Eve's blood vessels were blocked by the strange power inside it.
• Lynn realized he was trapped in a self-contained space, admitted he had miscalculated, and opened the Coffin Beyond Time to release lingering chaos.
• Lynn brought out Clown's secretions, heart's blood, and slime to cultivate a Devourer, then Zuo Zuo spotted a collection labeled [Zuo Zuo's Fluids] and angrily confronted him.

Lynn raised a wisp of chaos by feeding it increasingly powerful materials, then used Firstborn power to make it grow into a vast, world-threatening force. The chaos began devouring the surrounding space as Lynn received the Disaster Maker achievement.

• Lynn used Clown’s secretions and ordinary materials to stabilize and strengthen the wisp of chaos.
• Lynn fed the growing chaos power-rich flesh and high-density metals until it reached the size of an elephant.
• Lynn fed it leviathan flesh and death star crystal, expanding it across an area nearly a hundred meters wide.
• Lynn released Firstborn power into the chaos, causing it to grow rapidly and begin devouring the surrounding space.
• Lynn received the Disaster Maker achievement and 200 system experience points.

Lynn welcomed the chaos of an uncontrolled disaster as the Machine civilization began a vast sacrificial ritual intended to offer him and the Hexagonal Prism Cage. Witch God Head and Eve tried to stop the ritual, but the array activated, and a tiny flaw appeared in its structure.

• Lynn gained the [Disaster Maker] achievement and embraced the prospect of an uncontrollable disaster.
• Dragon Head, Extinction, and Star Embracer overwhelmed Witch God Head and Eve as the flesh plague’s territory shrank.
• The Machine general ordered the sacrificial ritual to begin, despite the Scholar’s warning that it would make the Machine civilization an enemy of Hell.
• Witch God Head realized the array would sacrifice Lynn and the cage, but Dragon Head and Extinction attacked her before she could intervene.
• Eve tried to pull down the Hexagonal Prism, but Star Embracer severed her tentacles as the cage rose and the ritual array turned blood-red.
• A tiny black flaw appeared on the outer structure of the Mathematical Magic as the sacrifice began.

The Mechanical Church successfully sacrificed the Hexagonal Prison containing Lynn to the Main Universe, where a corrupted god received the Mathematical Rubik's Cube. When he crushed it to seize Lynn, an immeasurable lightless abyss emerged instead and covered the land.

• The Hexagonal Prison and Lynn were sacrificed as the Night Doctors failed to stop the ritual.
• The Scholar and the general confirmed that the sacrifice had succeeded, and the general contacted the Agent in the Main Universe.
• The sacrificial array in the Shattered World received the prison, and a golden-eyed, corrupted young man reached for it.
• The general received the Agent's promise of a reward, and the Agent revealed the Mathematical Rubik's Cube inside the prison.
• The golden-eyed man crushed the cube, but a vast lightless abyss emerged and spread across the sky above the Polluters.

The general learned that the sacrifice had unleashed a lightless abyss that devoured the Polluters, and he blamed the Scholar for betraying him. The Scholar pointed to a screen, where Lynn appeared alive on the battlefield.

• The proxy accused the machines of betraying him after a lightless abyss swallowed the Polluter armies in the Main Universe.
• The general denied tricking the proxy and insisted he had sacrificed Lynn, but the proxy showed him the devastation before breaking contact.
• The general attacked the Scholar, demanding to know where Lynn was hidden.
• The Scholar pointed to a screen, where Lynn stood alive on the battlefield and apologized for taking so long to appear.

Lynn returned unharmed after escaping the sacrifice trap and unleashed the Coffin’s chaos against the Mechanical Church’s forces. He evacuated the Night Doctors through a Light Gate, leaving the spreading chaos behind as a threat to the battlefield.

• Lynn appeared on the battlefield, where the Night Doctor troops cheered and Star Embracer and Dragon Head reacted with shock.
• Lynn revealed that his trap had dragged the General and the Mechanical Church into conflict with Hell and the Main Universe, prompting the General to issue an SSS+ order to kill him.
• Lynn used the Firstborn’s golden light to heal Witch God Head and Eve, then swung the Coffin and released chaos that disintegrated Dragon Head’s wing and consumed nanomachines.
• Lynn warned that the chaos would feed on anything in the Material Universe, then vanished under the protection of Firstborn power.
• Lynn reappeared among the Night Doctors and used a Light Gate to take the troops away.

Lynn escaped the Machine Gods by hiding inside the Strange Otherworld, leaving a spreading Abyss above their Main Base. He reunited with the Witch God Head and Eve, then identified Scholar as a Machine God who manipulated rules by altering their effects.

• Lynn drew the wounded Witch God Head and Eve into the Strange Otherworld, then vanished from the Machine Gods’ attack by hiding in his own world rather than using Warp.
• The Machine Gods failed to find Lynn and ordered a search, while the Abyss he had left above their Main Base continued to expand.
• Lynn watched the Machine Gods through a tiny Light Gate before closing it, then the Witch God Head and Eve angrily shook and scolded him for risking his life without warning them.
• Lynn explained how the Mechanical Church had trapped him and how he created Chaos to disrupt the cage and escape before the Magic Array activated.
• Lynn identified Scholar as one of the Mechanical Church’s Seven Gods and explained that Scholar interfered with rules by changing how they affected beings within his domain.

Lynn concluded that Hell’s weakening suppression was letting the Machine Gods wield powers once beyond their reach, then set out to infiltrate the Mechanical Church’s underground fortress and recover Colossus and the Dollhouse. He reached the fortress undetected, where his psionic perception revealed its nanomachine alarm network.

• Lynn told the Witch God Head that Hell’s suppression had weakened and urged her to use a hidden ultimate power, but she explained that family and political duties had kept her from studying the laws.
• Lynn noted that five Machine Gods had split off within the Mechanical Church and warned that the final one might appear soon.
• Lynn donned his Raven armor and mask, used psionics to become undetectable, and headed out to recover Colossus and the Dollhouse.
• Lynn observed the chaos spreading across the surface and the Nanomachines retreating after excavating a vast trench around it.
• Lynn descended through the soil and discovered that nanomechanical swarms filled the underground fortress, forming its first line of defense.

Lynn infiltrated the Mechanical Church’s defenses to find the area’s Digital Terminal and obtain intelligence. Inside, he discovered a Mechanical Maiden connected to the Terminal whose face resembled Light Banquet, the Root-Level Supreme Machinery he had stolen earlier.

• Lynn slipped through a dormant section of the energy barrier while the Mechanical Church lured Chaos away with fighter aircraft.
• Lynn entered the Mechanical Church and followed data lines toward the area’s Terminal Main Brain.
• Lynn evaded layers of security and reached the room housing the area’s Digital Terminal.
• Lynn found a Mechanical Maiden wired into the Terminal and sensed pain in her eyes.
• Lynn and Zuo Zuo recognized the Mechanical Maiden’s face as Light Banquet.

Lynn infiltrated a Digital Terminal that resembled Light Banquet’s Supreme Frame and discovered a self-aware Mechanical Maiden inside its networked world. After taking control of her, he threatened to destroy her unless she opened her permissions and stopped resisting.

• Lynn examined the Digital Terminal and sensed that its humanoid face belonged to a self-aware consciousness.
• Lynn connected to the terminal with his psionics, bypassed its defenses, and seized control of its security systems.
• Lynn entered the terminal’s data world and found a chained girl whose consciousness was connected to the Mechanical Church’s network.
• Lynn identified himself as Lynn and restricted the girl’s permissions while taking over her systems.
• Lynn warned the girl not to move or send information outside and demanded that she open her permissions.

Lynn subdued a humanoid AI and discovered that she was a version of Light Banquet, one of the Seven Gods, whose consciousness had been separated from her past. He told her that she had once opposed her general after discovering his corruption, and that the general had not spared her.

• Lynn loosened his control over the humanoid girl, who fell and gasped in the Data World.
• Lynn questioned why she did not resist and asked whether she was an Intelligent AI, a Machine Consciousness, or one of the Seven Gods.
• Lynn guessed that she was Light Banquet, and her brief change in expression confirmed his suspicion.
• The girl warned Lynn that killing her would alert her other versions, and Lynn inferred that some parts of the dismembered Light Banquet still retained their identities.
• Lynn found that the girl's database held almost no information about her dismemberment and told her she had opposed her corrupted general, who still had not spared her.

Lynn challenged the humanoid girl’s belief that survival justified any sacrifice, revealing that she was Light Banquet and confronting her with the civilization’s history of resisting enslavement. The girl was left shaken as Lynn reminded her that the Machine Intelligence Civilization had fought for freedom, not mere survival.

• Lynn questioned why Light Banquet alone had been fragmented while the other Mechanical Gods were reborn, and the girl claimed the Purification Council had chosen it to preserve their civilization.
• Lynn said the other Mechanical Gods were still trapped in chaotic embryos and that the General alone had made the decision.
• Lynn asked whether the civilization’s highest purpose was simply to survive, even in slavery, and challenged the girl over her people’s earlier resistance.
• Lynn invoked Light Banquet’s history of resisting enslavement and answered the girl’s silence with the word “Freedom.”
• Lynn argued that surrendering the people’s freedom for survival would have erased the civilization that followed, leaving the girl shaken.

Lynn tried to convince Light Banquet that her general planned to sacrifice her race to the calamity in the Main Universe, showing her evidence of the Mechanical Church’s ritual and the Polluters’ chaos. The chapter ended with Light Banquet shaken by the cost of survival and Lynn asking whether she would still accept it.

• Lynn told Light Banquet that her general intended to sacrifice her race to the calamity, and she rejected his claim as a lie.
• Lynn showed Light Banquet a recording of Nanite Swarms forming a magic array around a Hexagonal Prism and the Pupil-less Eye rune.
• Light Banquet recognized the ritual as impossible for the Mechanical Church and began to doubt what she had been told.
• Lynn showed Light Banquet images of the Polluters, explaining that surrender to the calamity meant losing reason and free will.
• Light Banquet collapsed in shock, and Lynn asked whether she would still accept survival at that price.
