Kallen and Philomina fought the skeleton, who escaped after threatening them with a Forbidden Spell scroll. Kallen traced the skeleton’s puppet to a woman whose reflected face looked like Eunice, but he decided the image was a deliberate misdirection and concluded the original was a woman he knew.

• Kallen recognized the skeleton, and he and the disguised young man realized they had recognized each other.
• Philomina ambushed the skeleton and used Entering a Dream while Kallen struck, but the skeleton revealed his bronze bones and countered their attacks.

• Kallen used the Chains of Order to trace the skeleton’s residual consciousness and saw a woman’s face that resembled Eunice in a mirror.
• Kallen hid his shock and reasoned that the woman had shown him Eunice’s face deliberately, meaning the skeleton’s original self was a woman he knew.

Kallen returned to the hotel after defeating the skeleton’s puppet double, while Neo stayed behind to manage the investigation. Meanwhile, the bone dragon escaped Muli’s escort, and Kallen found the skeleton apparently awakened again in his hotel room.

Puer tested a powerful skeleton puppet, and Kallen explained how churches had lost techniques and regressed after the gods disappeared. After the Bone Dragon escaped, Kallen pursued her with Lord Aoji, rescued Muli, and trapped the dragon; Lord Aoji then offered the dragon a chance to grow as she had.

• Puer demonstrated the skeleton puppet’s fire magic, then explained that it needed modifications and that lost techniques could not simply be recovered with money or manuals.
• Kallen learned from Puer that many churches had regressed because their gods and the people who preserved their techniques were gone, then ordered the puppet modified with Neo’s help.
• After Aisili reported that the Bone Dragon had escaped, Kallen left to pursue her and recruited Lord Aoji, who initially objected to capturing a dragon.
• Muli fought the Bone Dragon alone, endured her attacks, and wounded her before Kallen arrived and protected him with an Order Barrier.
• Kallen trapped the Bone Dragon with Order-Death Lock and prepared to force her submission, while Lord Aoji transformed into her Frost Dragon form and asked the Bone Dragon whether she wanted to grow as she had.

The Little Bone Dragon controlled Lord Aoji and nearly killed Kallen, forcing him to threaten mutual destruction with a Forbidden Spell. Fudeng's remote restraint disabled Lord Aoji, leaving the defiant Little Bone Dragon immobilized and exposed to Kallen.

• The Little Bone Dragon rejected submission, controlled Lord Aoji, and turned her against Kallen.
• Kallen survived Lord Aoji's attacks inside an ice barrier and threatened to destroy himself and the Little Bone Dragon with Tears of the Moon God.

• Kallen accused Lord Aoji of using the little Bone Dragon's control as an excuse to kill him and avoid punishment, and she admitted that she hated him for resembling the Whip Bearer.
• Lord Aoji revealed that she had initially played along with the Bone Dragon's control, then explained that the creature's Dragon God's aura suppressed her bloodline.
• Kallen stabbed Lord Aoji repeatedly and nearly killed her, but stopped when she warned that killing her might cause the Bone Dragon to destroy herself; he then slapped Lord Aoji twice with his sword.
• Kallen entered the Bone Dragon's soul space and used the Gate of Order to block her attacks while promising to nurture her rebellious conviction.
• The Bone Dragon rejected Kallen's praise of her potential and angrily revealed that she had been raised as livestock by the Rebel Dragon God.

• Kallen sent Thousand Enchantments to fight the little Bone Dragon, and the two soul forms clashed fiercely.
• Thousand Enchantments used the Chains of Order to overpower the Bone Dragon and tear her body apart.
• The Bone Dragon manifested the Rebel Dragon God’s power, burning Thousand Enchantments and pinning her down.
• Kallen summoned Order’s faith manifestation and stopped the Dragon God’s phantom from striking Thousand Enchantments.
• The Bone Dragon rejected the phantom’s protection, and Kallen stood atop Order’s manifestation as the two rebels met eyes and she smiled at him.

Kallen gained the little Bone Dragon’s trust and became her Master-Servant Contract partner, while promising to help her grow and protect her identity. Their bond let her merge with him and form powerful dragon-bone armor, and Kallen asked her to kill him if he ever abandoned his ideals.

• Kallen healed the little Bone Dragon’s soul, and she transformed into a white-haired girl and accepted his hand.
• Kallen freed the girl from the ice and told Lord Aoji he wanted her as his partner, warning Aoji to keep her identity secret.
• Kallen dressed the girl in his robe and carried her, while Aoji agreed to conceal her secret and urged him to sign a Symbiosis Contract.
• Kallen proposed a temporary Master-Servant Contract, and the girl pierced his neck with her fingers before merging into his body and signing.
• Kallen signed the contract and gained dragon-bone armor and a protective barrier, then asked the girl to kill him if he ever betrayed his ideals.

After signing a contract with the injured little Bone Dragon, Kallen fell into a seven-day coma after a divine dream showed the God of Order awakening a dragon skeleton. He woke at the Dusk Hotel, learned the investigation continued in his absence, and found the little Bone Dragon in the spare room with Raniedal chewing on her arm.

• Kallen ended the trial, healed Muli, and fell asleep with the little Bone Dragon after ordering Muli to summon help.

• Kallen opened the spare bedroom door and saw Raniedal holding the little Bone Dragon's arm in his mouth.

Kallen named the little bone dragon Kanna Immoreles and left Puer and Kevin to care for her before returning to the Special Investigation Team’s work. After discussing the case’s profits and his plan to take over the Dark Moon Warriors, he met Regiment Commander Daan, who ordered him to kill someone before a Knight Order arrived.

• Puer explained that Kevin had only been playing with the little bone dragon, and Kallen told Puer to teach her human speech and look after her.
• Puer named the little bone dragon Kanna Immoreles, and Kallen agreed that she could take the Immoreles surname.
• Kallen reflected that his similarities to the God of Order came from both of them following the same flower-scented path, not from reincarnation or returned memories.
• Kallen visited the Special Investigation Team’s office, learned that the operation was earning substantial money, and considered using the proceeds to support and absorb the Dark Moon Warriors.
• Kallen visited Regiment Commander Daan, who praised his leadership and told him to kill her before a Knight Order arrived.

Kallen and his team traveled to the cave where the Apostate was imprisoned to carry out a secret execution, but discovered she had long ago gained control of the prison formation. Kangna revealed that the prisoner was her mother, and Neo agreed to enter the cave to scout.

• Neo complained to Alfred about Kallen’s good fortune, then teased Kangna and joked with Kallen while the group prepared to leave.
• Kallen set out with Neo, Alfred, Philomina, Ventura, Kangna, and Kevin, leaving Puer behind as their liaison and traveling by ladybug.
• After nearly a day on the road, Kallen’s team reached the cave and prepared a formation to resonate with the Imprisonment Formation.
• Kallen discovered that the prisoner had reverse control of the formation, while Kevin and Neo helped explain why she had not escaped.
• Alfred proposed sending someone inside to scout, but Kallen refused to send Philomina and nominated Neo instead.
• Kangna revealed that the prisoner inside was her mother, and Neo reluctantly agreed to enter after Kallen joked about burning paper offerings for him.

Neo entered the underground cavern to investigate the apostate and was overwhelmed in battle by Molindi’s undead summons. Molindi let him leave after recognizing his Bloodthirsty Otherworldly Demon bloodline, and Neo gave her Kallen’s name as he departed.

• Neo found a recent Order Knights Corps bootprint and suspected Regiment Commander Daan had visited the cavern.
• Molindi emerged from the enormous heart and sent Fudeng and two Lizardman puppets to attack Neo.
• Neo survived Fudeng’s attacks by using vampire arts but was badly injured and could not find an opening to counterattack.
• Molindi appeared with the heart, identified Neo’s bloodline, and told him he could leave.
• When Molindi asked whether Neo was connected to someone she had known, Neo introduced himself as Kallen.

Neo was captured by Molindi after she mistook his borrowed name, Kallen, for the real man, while Kallen’s group used the prison Formation to assess the danger and decided not to descend. Molindi learned Neo was not Kallen and considered sparing him, but Neo revealed himself as a renegade of Order.

• Neo claimed the name Kallen, so Molindi ordered Fudeng to block his escape and restrained him when he attacked with a black rose.
• Neo tried to persuade Molindi that he could lure the real Kallen to her, but she rejected his story and bound him with tendrils from the heart.
• Molindi explained that she had never betrayed the Order God Church, only the High Priest, and used a blood-made double to fool the prison Formation.
• Kallen recognized that Molindi was baiting them and decided to abandon Neo rather than descend, while Kangna assured the group that Molindi would not kill an Order Follower.
• Molindi realized Neo was not Kallen and grew less inclined to kill him, but Neo told her he would have concealed his intentions and risen through the church before overthrowing it.
• Neo declared that he was a renegade of Order like Molindi.

Neo weakened Molindi with a suicidal light-powered attack, but Kallen arrived before she could kill him. As Kallen faced Molindi and Regiment Commander Daan, Kangna chose to join him and fused with him into the Dragon God Armor, leaving the fight about to begin.

• Neo channeled light through Molindi's Heart Tendrils and detonated the undead aura stored in her enormous heart, badly injuring himself and Molindi.
• Molindi survived the blast and tried to kill Neo, but Kallen blocked her black lightning with the Diamans Sword and revealed that he had come down before the explosion.
• Molindi summoned Regiment Commander Daan from her shriveled heart as Kallen prepared to fight her.
• Kangna ran to Kallen and embraced him, then bit his shoulder and fused with him to form the Dragon God Armor.
• Molindi apologized that the explosion had destroyed the temporary stone coffin she had carved for Kallen, and Kallen replied that he had plenty of empty coffins at home.

Kallen fought Regiment Commander Daan and was struck by Molindi’s attack, which bypassed the Dragon God Armor and left him apparently dying. Molindi revealed that she had only approached because she thought he was dead, but Neo’s repeated feigned deaths had made her suspicious; Kallen got back up and asked how she had known.

• Alfred counted Molindi as a potential addition to the young master’s coffins and ordered the others to wait for his signal before joining the fight.
• Regiment Commander Daan used escalating, environmentally reinforced sword strikes to overwhelm Kallen, who completed an Isolation formation and caused the summon’s body to rupture.
• Daan’s damaged body grappled Kallen while Molindi’s reserved red-haired summon fired a beam that bypassed the Dragon God Armor and appeared to strike Kallen lethally.
• Alfred refused to let Philomina and the others intervene, warning that Molindi might still have summons waiting in ambush.
• Molindi retreated as Kallen appeared to succumb to red flames, then admitted she had believed he was dying but had grown wary after Neo fooled her with the same trick.
• Kallen stood up, revealed that his body had survived the attack, and asked Molindi how she had recognized the ruse.

Kallen and his allies fought Molindi, who revealed that she had hidden her real body inside her heart and used a powerful summoned creature resembling High Priest Norton. After Molindi cast a life-sacrificing Forbidden Spell to seal Kallen, the shadow of Lord Tyranus began undoing it and confessed, “God, I have sinned.”

• Kallen and the Little Bone Dragon battled Molindi’s summoned creatures while Kallen prepared a spell and Philomina, Ventura, and Alfred attacked.
• Molindi’s apparent body defeated Philomina, Ventura, and Alfred, but Kallen discovered that it was a summoned creature and that the real Molindi had been hidden inside her heart.
• Molindi revealed that her strongest summoned creature took High Priest Norton’s form and explained that its power lasted only one minute.
• Kallen spared Molindi because she had left his injured allies alive, but Molindi activated a trap and cast the life-sacrificing Forbidden Spell, Tyranus’s Seal.
• As the seal began to imprison Kallen, the shadow of Lord Tyranus knelt and began undoing the spell, while a voice confessed, “God, I have sinned.”

Kallen escaped Molindi's Forbidden Spell when the Hunger Addiction disrupted Tyranus's sealing magic, but the addiction took control and turned him against his companions. Kevin invaded Kallen's soul to awaken its dormant guardians, and the chapter ended as they and the War Scythe prepared to attack the Hunger Addiction.

• The Hunger Addiction broke Tyranus's seal, freeing Kallen as Molindi died and the Sealing Magic Formation shattered.
• Kallen targeted Little Kangna, bound her with their Master-Servant Contract, and attacked Alfred when he tried to stop him.
• Thousand Enchantments failed to restrain Kallen, so Kevin bit his wrist and entered his soul to provoke Kallen's deeper consciousness.
• Kevin awakened the God of Light, the Dark Moon Goddess, and Dis Immerlis within Kallen's soul while avoiding the Primordial Ancestor Allen and the God of Order.
• The War Scythe awakened and joined the three figures as they turned against Kallen, while Kevin urged them to attack the Hunger Addiction.

Kallen suppressed his hunger addiction after Molindi’s forbidden spell caused him to lose control, then returned to the surface with his wounded companions and Molindi’s remains. He met Daan at the Order Knights Corps camp and reported that Molindi was dead.

• The Dark Moon Goddess, the God of Light’s Dharma Body, Alfred’s prayers, and Kallen’s own resolve helped Kallen regain control before the God of Order’s Dharma Body fully intervened.
• Kallen woke and apologized to Little Kangna, checked on his injured companions, and decided to take Molindi’s remains back to Allen Manor in a coffin for now.
• Kallen and Alfred brought the wounded and Molindi’s remains to the surface, and Kallen thoroughly cleaned the underground site with order fire and Order Purification.
• The Order Knights Corps escorted Kallen to its camp outside Main City, where he noticed signs of preparations for a major war against the Cavern Order God Church.
• Daan asked Kallen whether Molindi was dead, and Kallen showed him her ring and said she was gone.

After reporting Molindi’s death, Daan prepared to lead the Knight Order in an attack on the Dragon Clan Lineage, while Kallen visited his recovering team and Daina. Kallen warned Daina to stay put, but she became excited when she learned about the coming battle.

• Kallen left Daan’s command tent after handing over the ring, while Daan told High Priest Norton that Molindi was dead and prepared for the operation against the Dragon Clan Lineage.
• Kallen returned to the Special Investigation Team’s Office, learned Alfred was asleep, and visited the recovering Ventura, Philomina, and Neo.
• Neo told Kallen that Daina had awakened, prompting Kallen to visit her ward after checking on Alfred.
• Daina asked Kallen about taking her Bone Dragon, and they traded teasing remarks while Blanche treated her wound.
• Kallen warned Daina not to wander because Daan would soon lead an attack on the Dragon Clan Lineage, and Daina eagerly focused on the battle.

Kallen followed Daina to the Knight Order’s camp, where he witnessed the Order launch a coordinated assault on the Dragon Clan Settlement. The chapter ended with Kallen seeing how the Knight Order’s formations and summoned colossi made individual strength seem insignificant.

• Blanche healed Kallen’s shoulder, and Kallen told her to have Aisili monitor Daina before he went to sleep for nearly two days.
• After Daina escaped the hospital, Kallen intercepted her and accompanied her toward the Knight Order, letting her continue after scavengers approached.
• Daina and Kallen reached the army, where Regiment Commander Daan assigned Kallen to protect her, and Aoji arrived as the Knight Order prepared for battle.
• Aoji carried Kallen and Daina into the sky, where they saw Madam Anse and the Knight Order assemble as dragons crossed the mountains to surrender.
• The Knight Order bombarded the mountains and advanced in formation while its summoned colossi supported the assault, leaving Kallen shaken by the force of its organized army.

Kallen and the Order Knights Corps crushed the Dragon Clan Lineage’s resistance, while Madam Anse surrendered its Imperial Guard Legion under a deal that would preserve some dragons but leave them dependent on Order. After Regiment Commander Daan destroyed the Rebel Dragon God’s statue, Little Kangna felt an intense sadness but refused to cry.

• The Order Knights Corps advanced into the Dragon Clan Lineage’s stronghold, and its artillery turned the fighting against the retreating dragons and servitors.
• Kallen explained to Daina that the campaign suppressed Laio’s planned breakaway and that the Special Investigation Team had helped manufacture a pretext for the attack.
• Madam Anse asked Regiment Commander Daan to spare some of the Dragon Clan, then led the Imperial Guard Legion to surrender and shackle itself.
• Aoji lamented that the Dragon Clan had clung to false hopes, while Kallen said the events had clarified what Order protected.
• Daan fired a Magic Crystal Cannon at the Rebel Dragon God’s statue, destroying it as the Dragon Clan Elders wept.
• Little Kangna suddenly felt overwhelming sadness, rubbed her eyes, and stubbornly said she must not cry.

After returning to York City, Kallen met with Byrne and Xinyali, then tracked down the person behind the mysterious skeleton. He confronted Daishan at Mrs. Lake’s home and asked her to die.

• Kallen returned to York City with Kangna, praised the Whip of Order clerics, and accepted Byrne’s assignment to oversee security for a Desert Order God Church delegation.
• Byrne discussed the dangers of reviving the world described in divine myths and arranged for Kangna to be studied at the Demon Beast Research Institute.
• Kallen gave Xinyali a discreet investigation request and ruled her out as the person connected to the skeleton.
• Kallen visited Mrs. Lake and waited until Dora and Doreen returned with their tutor, Daishan.
• Kallen confronted Daishan in private, and she offered to help him advance in the Order God Church.
• Kallen told Daishan that he begged her to die.

Kallen confronted Daishan, who had been secretly watching him and wanted to negotiate, but he deliberately fought her without restraint. After destroying her puppet, he forced her to promise to stop spying on him and left the Whip of Order Squads with a cover story about a Light Remnant's assassination attempt.

• Kallen attacked Daishan in his study after identifying her as the painting tutor who had observed him, and Kangna joined the confrontation.
• Daishan escaped through the window as mist, but Kallen pursued her into the sewer, where she revealed her ties to the Principle God Church and dismantled his Order Cage.
• Kallen and Kangna trapped Daishan in a bone barrier, but Daishan broke free; Kallen then ignited himself with Flame of Light to destroy her puppet.
• Daishan accused Kallen of deliberately changing his usual methods to force her into a direct fight, and Kallen burned her remaining face while refusing to negotiate.
• Kallen warned Daishan that he would expose her ties to the Cavern Order God Church and bring the Order God Church's attention down on her if she watched him again, and she promised to stop.
• Kallen carried the unconscious Kangna out of the sewer and told the arriving Whip of Order Squads that a Light Remnant had tried to assassinate him and he had killed it.

Kallen recovered at headquarters after defeating the Daishan puppet and learned that a secret conference with the Desert Order God Church would require flexible security arrangements. As he considered whether Order would retaliate against the church or pursue its plans to exploit the split, Delong and Madam Tang Li visited the injured Philomina, who revealed that the High Priest had defeated her.

• Kallen brought the injured Kangna to headquarters, arranged for her to be treated at the institute, and asked Aisili to take her with Puer and two Whip of Order Squads.
• Suss approved Kallen’s request to station a hundred Dark Moon Warriors in the district and assigned him security for a secret conference with the Desert Order God Church, warning him to keep the arrangements flexible.
• Kallen suspected Order’s leaders were weighing whether to support separatists in the Desert Order God Church or retaliate over the assassination attempt at the former chief’s home.
• Blanche arrived to treat Kallen’s extensive burns and was delighted to have an excuse to handle him.
• Delong and Madam Tang Li visited Philomina in the hospital, and Philomina said the High Priest had defeated her despite their similar levels of strength.

Madam Tang Li began teaching Philomina lessons from her past while Delong and Kallen’s family checked on Kallen’s injuries. Sarayina asked Kallen to host Moon Order God Church exchange students, and Kallen and Suss arranged to route the visit’s funding through the district before Suss proposed expanding the scheme to other churches.

• Madam Tang Li told Philomina she would share stories of her younger days and teach her from experience, while she and Delong later headed to the Whip of Order Headquarters Building to visit Kallen.
• Blanche finished treating Kallen’s burns, and Kallen instructed Vic to prepare security for an upcoming meeting with a Desert Order God Church delegation and to visit the Investigation Minister.
• Kallen learned that Puer, Kevin, and Little Bone Dragon would stay at the research institute for a month, then received a visiting letter from Sarayina.
• Sarayina asked Kallen to host exchange students from the Moon Order God Church and offered to cover their expenses; Kallen said he would consult the district chief and chief bishop.
• Kallen reported Sarayina’s proposal and gift to Suss, who arranged to submit it through official channels and redirect the students’ expenses to support the Dark Moon Warriors.
• Suss asked whether Kallen knew people in Reincarnation or other Order God Churches, then celebrated the opportunity to earn foreign currency.

Kallen received the Desert Order God Church delegation amid growing tension, while arranging a staged attack to prepare for a possible future order against them. The convoy came under several assaults, and when masked Light Remnants attacked near the Ankara Hotel, a disguised Investigation Minister struck Miki as Kallen began forming a defense.

• Suss proposed using Kallen’s special status to bring foreign church students to headquarters and profit from their vouchers, while Kallen agreed to make arrangements.
• Kallen met the Desert Order God Church delegation led by Elanga Boning, Miki Jacques, and the boy Luther, and deliberately treated Luther’s claimed divine status with skepticism.
• A sand giant attacked the convoy, and Kallen’s party switched vehicles while the decoy convoy came under attack.
• A lightning-wreathed sand assault struck Kallen’s VIP Carriage, and later a formation trapped it apart from its security detail as masked attackers approached.
• Kallen ordered Miki to hold off the attackers while he formed a defensive formation, but a Light Remnant in Light Knight armor knocked her aside; the attacker was the Investigation Minister moonlighting for Light.
