Chapter Summary: “Lapis Lazuli’s True Form!”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Isaac watches Lapis Lazuli battle a High-level Earth Elemental Spirit while teasing Little Mouse into joining the fight.
• Little Mouse enthusiastically attacks one of the spirits using Skeletal Magic, but is easily swatted away. Isaac rescues them and places them back on his shoulder.
• Isaac immobilizes the remaining five High-level Earth Elemental Spirits with the Authority Spell Arrogant Turtle, creating barriers they cannot cross.
• Rather than killing the spirits with his Magic Cannon, Isaac experiments on them with an optimized version of Flesh Aberration, enhanced by Demonic Claw Hamon’s previous casting. His Authority Analysis records data for developing a future Authority Spell based on Flesh Aberration.
• Isaac deliberately avoids watching Lapis Lazuli too closely, allowing her to reveal her true form without feeling exposed.
• Under pressure, Lapis Lazuli transforms into a grotesque flesh tumor with a single eye. She secretly opens another eye on her back, notices Isaac is distracted, and relaxes after confirming he has not seen her true appearance.
• The transformed Lapis Lazuli breaks free of the Earth Elemental Spirit’s gravity authority. Its gravity attacks, physical spikes, and further attempts to restrain her all fail.
• Lapis Lazuli spreads into flesh paste, envelops the spirit, and dissolves it completely before reforming into her flesh-tumor shape.

Character Developments

• Isaac demonstrates his growing mastery of Authority Spells. Arrogant Turtle can defend him, trap enemies, and potentially suppress their internal functions, though its effectiveness depends on the power gap between combatants.
• Isaac also shows his scientific and experimental mindset, treating the corrupted spirits as rare test subjects rather than simply enemies to destroy.
• Little Mouse remains energetic and impulsive, eagerly challenging an opponent far beyond their ability. Their defeat highlights that, despite reaching the second tier, they are still inexperienced compared with Isaac.
• Lapis Lazuli finally abandons her disguise and reveals her terrifying true form. Her transformation grants her resistance to gravity and allows her to dissolve a powerful elemental spirit, establishing that her real abilities are far more dangerous than her normal appearance suggests.
• Lapis Lazuli is also shown to be self-conscious about her appearance, carefully checking whether Isaac has noticed her transformation.

Significant Themes

• Hidden identity and vulnerability: Lapis Lazuli’s reluctance to reveal her true form contrasts with her overwhelming strength once she stops hiding.
• Power and authority: The chapter explains that Authority Spells maximize existing power rather than creating strength from nothing. Isaac’s abilities are formidable because of both his authority and his deep understanding of magic.
• Experimentation and discovery: Isaac uses the battle to gather data, showing his tendency to turn combat into research and seek ways to improve his magic.
• Appearance versus true nature: The Earth Elemental Spirit is unimpressed by Lapis Lazuli’s grotesque form, while the transformation itself proves that her monstrous appearance is connected to immense combat power.
• Humor amid danger: Little Mouse’s reckless attack and Isaac’s teasing provide comic relief during an otherwise intense battle.

Character Interactions

• Isaac playfully invites Little Mouse to fight, then protects and scolds them after their reckless attack fails.
• Isaac treats the trapped Earth Elemental Spirits as experimental subjects, using Flesh Aberration while monitoring their mutations.
• Isaac intentionally pretends not to notice Lapis Lazuli’s transformation, giving her privacy and allowing her to preserve her dignity.
• Lapis Lazuli briefly reacts to Little Mouse’s stare, glaring at them before focusing on her opponent.
• The Earth Elemental Spirit and Lapis Lazuli engage in a battle of abilities: gravity and black stone attacks against Lapis Lazuli’s flesh-based transformation, which ultimately overwhelms and consumes it.

Chapter Summary: “The Powerful Three-Month Beast!”

Key Plot Points and Events

• After Lapis Lazuli defeats a powerful Earth Elemental Spirit, Isaac deliberately continues studying Flesh Aberration rather than turning around, pretending not to know about her transformation and concealing that he has discovered her true identity.
• Lapis Lazuli returns to her ordinary appearance and helps clear the remaining Earth Elemental Spirits alongside Little Mouse and the Dimension Apostles.
• Isaac and Hamon’s Flesh Aberrations weaken five high-level Earth Elemental Spirits. Rather than being killed by the spell, the spirits commit suicide after witnessing the destruction of their kind, choosing a dignified death over becoming twisted forms.
• Isaac collects several high-quality magical stones from their remains. When the Dimension Apostles scouting deeper into the valley are suddenly destroyed, he and Lapis Lazuli sense an enormous, unusual magical presence.
• The source is revealed as the Three-Month Beast, consisting of three white feline creatures—New Moon, Half Moon, and Full Moon—each marked with a black moon. Together, they form the beast’s first stage.
• Isaac recognizes that killing all three simultaneously would force the creature into its second form, the Black Moon Cat, a powerful fourth-order demonic entity and divine servant of the Moon Goddess.
• Rather than risk fighting an opponent far above his current level, Isaac summons Arrogant Turtle to restrain the beasts temporarily and escapes with Lapis Lazuli through a dimensional rift.
• The Three-Month Beast allows him to leave, apparently because Isaac’s survival would not interfere with a larger plan connected to the Moon Goddess.
• The next day, Isaac meets Sowar at the Truth Association in Nebula City. Isaac reveals that he knows about the Three-Month Beast and deduces that its presence in the merging Demiplane must be part of a divine scheme.
• Sowar admits that the mission was a test. Impressed by Isaac’s judgment and perception, he agrees to join Isaac’s research group. Isaac declines to hear the details of Sowar’s plan unless they become relevant later.
• The two officially exchange contact information through their cult Magic Books and begin the process of registering Sowar as a member of Isaac’s research group.
• Isaac then plans to recruit additional researchers. He intends to lure one famous wizard by publicly revealing that he wrote several celebrated fairy tales, while traveling to a war-torn country to seek another potential member.
• Isaac and Lapis Lazuli leave Nebula City through Phase Space and arrive in Ben Os, a border city of the Norwayman Kingdom, where Isaac is struck by the bleak atmosphere created by war.

Character Developments

• Isaac demonstrates caution, strategic thinking, and strong self-control. He avoids revealing that he knows Lapis Lazuli’s secret and immediately retreats from the Three-Month Beast instead of fighting recklessly.
• His understanding of power differences between magical realms becomes clear: he recognizes that a fourth-order divine servant cannot safely be challenged by him at his current level.
• Isaac also shows growing skill as a leader and researcher by recruiting powerful and unconventional individuals into his research group.
• Lapis Lazuli continues concealing her true form and identity from Isaac. Her reluctance to use her abstract, powerful original appearance reflects both caution and increasing self-disgust, creating a potential psychological obstacle to her future growth.
• Sowar is revealed to be more informed and calculating than he first appeared. His original offer was partly a test to determine whether Isaac could recognize the significance of the Moon Goddess’s servant beast.
• Sowar’s successful recruitment marks Isaac’s first major accomplishment in building his research group.

Significant Themes

• Self-acceptance and identity: Lapis Lazuli’s discomfort with her true appearance suggests that rejecting one’s own nature may hinder future advancement.
• Pragmatism versus recklessness: Isaac’s decision to flee from the Three-Month Beast emphasizes the importance of recognizing when an opponent is beyond one’s ability to defeat.
• Power and divine influence: The Three-Month Beast’s presence indicates that gods may be manipulating events within the Demiplane for larger purposes.
• Death and dignity: The Earth Elemental Spirits’ suicide reflects their desire to preserve their dignity rather than exist in grotesque, transformed forms.
• Trust and testing: Sowar tests Isaac before joining him, while Isaac carefully limits what he is willing to learn about Sowar’s dangerous divine-related scheme.
• The effects of war: The chapter ends by shifting toward a war-torn setting, suggesting that Isaac’s next recruitment effort will involve the human cost and instability of conflict.

Important Character Interactions

• Isaac and Lapis Lazuli: Their relationship is shaped by concealment and mutual observation. Isaac pretends not to know her secret, while Lapis Lazuli remains cautious about exposing her true form.
• Isaac and the Earth Elemental Spirits: Isaac treats them primarily as research subjects and sources of magical materials, but their suicide causes him to reflect briefly on their motives and dignity.
• Isaac and the Three-Month Beast: Their encounter is brief but tense. Isaac restrains the beasts long enough to escape, while the creatures recognize his strength but do not pursue him.
• Isaac and Sowar: Their meeting shifts from negotiation to mutual respect. Isaac’s deductions prove his competence, while Sowar’s test establishes the basis for cooperation.
• Isaac and Lapis Lazuli after recruitment: They begin the next stage of their journey together, leaving Nebula City to pursue additional researchers in a war-torn region.

Chapter Summary: “Mi Family God!”

Key Plot Points and Events

• Evans is horrified when Isaac reveals his plan to create a God of Blood and Bone, since god-making is one of the wizarding world’s greatest taboos. While creating a god may be possible, controlling one has never been successfully achieved.
• Isaac explains that his plan is feasible because he possesses a unique “Golden Finger” capable of optimizing procedures and forcing a sufficiently viable plan to succeed, provided the initial possibility is not zero.
• The plan relies on combining:
  • Evans’s relatively intact

God Corpse

• Isaac’s

Artificial Godhood

• Knowledge and technical resources from the Flesh Cult and Truth Association
• Isaac claims they do not necessarily need to control the artificial god. Instead, they could establish a cooperative relationship or “friendship” with it, which Evans considers far more reasonable.
• Evans reluctantly agrees to cooperate, though he immediately suspects he has been drawn into one of Isaac’s dangerous schemes.
• Isaac gives Evans a powerful spell called Flesh Lair, which can use corpses and flesh to create living demonic creatures.
• Evans realizes the spell likely originated from the Outer God Lord of Myriad Flesh, making him wary of using it. Isaac assures him that the spell has been modified and completely severed from the Outer God’s influence.
• Evans recognizes that Flesh Lair could be extremely valuable for defending Holy Kingship territory. Although it requires significant resources and has limitations, it could greatly improve regional stability and eventually support economic development.
• Evans thanks Isaac on behalf of Norwayman’s people and then reveals that he has brought Isaac several valuable materials: God Blood, God Bone, god flesh and blood, and a Divinity Fragment.

Character Developments

• Isaac demonstrates increasing confidence in his abilities and resources. His transformation into a High Wizard, access to powerful organizations, and mastery of Artificial Godhood have made god-making seem practical rather than impossible.
• Isaac also shows his characteristic manipulation and ambition. He presents the plan as reasonable by emphasizing friendship with the god, while concealing the full extent of his Golden Finger’s role.
• Evans is initially terrified by Isaac’s proposal but gradually becomes convinced by its practicality. Though cautious, he accepts that saving Norwayman may require taking unprecedented risks.
• Evans’s sense of responsibility toward his people becomes clear. He is willing to consider using a dangerous Outer God-derived spell if it can protect Holy Kingship territory, though he insists on testing it before widespread deployment.
• Evans also becomes more deeply entangled in Isaac’s plans, suspecting that he may have “fallen into a pit” but recognizing that retreat is no longer possible.

Significant Themes

• The danger of forbidden knowledge: God-making is taboo because gods cannot reliably be controlled, illustrating the risks of pursuing power beyond established limits.
• Control versus cooperation: Isaac reframes the problem of controlling a god by proposing friendship and mutual benefit instead, suggesting that influence may be more effective than domination.
• Ends versus means: Evans must weigh the moral and practical dangers of using Outer God-derived power against the urgent need to protect Norwayman.
• The changing balance between gods and wizards: The chapter emphasizes that the world has entered an era dominated by wizards. True Gods are now subject to wizarding institutions and research, while Outer Gods remain dangerous precisely because they do not follow those rules.
• Risk and calculated experimentation: Both Isaac’s god-making plan and Evans’s deployment of Flesh Lair depend on starting with a possibility of success, testing cautiously, and improving results through research.
• Friendship and trust as strategic tools: Isaac presents friendship not merely as an emotional bond but as a practical method for gaining a god’s support.

Character Interactions

• Isaac and Evans have a tense but increasingly cooperative relationship. Evans is alarmed by Isaac’s ideas, while Isaac calmly explains them and persuades him through logic.
• Their handshake symbolizes Evans’s reluctant commitment to the god-making project, even as he suspects Isaac may be leading him into danger.
• Isaac gives Evans Flesh Lair as both a gift and a practical contribution to Norwayman’s defense. Evans’s reaction reveals both his fear of Outer God influence and his recognition of the spell’s enormous potential.
• Evans formally thanks Isaac for helping Norwayman, and Isaac responds by reminding him to take his research assignment seriously.
• The chapter ends with Evans offering Isaac rare divine materials, suggesting that their partnership may provide Isaac with the resources needed to begin the god-making experiment.

Chapter Summary: Great Wizard and the Endless Sea!

Key Plot Points and Events

• Mensa visits Isaac to warn him about an unspecified major matter connected to the Dimension Apostles and the Empire. Because the information cannot safely be spoken aloud, Isaac accepts the warning without pressing for details. Mensa then leaves to assist Grand Princess Filo in Itra.
• Isaac returns to his research and spends three months studying two projects:
  • His attempt to secretly steal the God of Credit’s divine power makes no meaningful progress.
  • His Transformation Magic advances considerably. He learns sixteen transformations, and Slime Transformation successfully fuses three low-level demonic creature forms, providing valuable data for his Path of All Spirits.
• Isaac’s wizard organization grows to thirty members, including three Tier 2 wizards and many Tier 1 wizards. However, it has little income, so Isaac personally funds it. He is also still struggling to choose an appropriate name for the organization.
• The war between the Terra Empire and the Lord of Myriad Flesh intensifies. Although the Empire has immense military strength, the Dimension Demon God initially holds its own. Isaac believes the Empire will eventually win because the Lord of Myriad Flesh and its apostles cannot remain in the real world indefinitely.
• Isaac uses the conflict as cover for his own plans. While the Empire is distracted by the Lord of Myriad Flesh’s believers, Isaac’s Dimension Apostles secretly sabotage the forces of Noence Prince. His true target is not the Empire itself.
• Isaac realizes that many wizards throughout history have attempted to steal the God of Credit’s divine power. The god has therefore established powerful defenses. Isaac can potentially succeed using his Golden Finger, but only he could currently do so. His best plan has a mere 13.5% success rate, far below the 60–70% threshold needed to make the method safe and useful for other High Wizards.
• Mensa suddenly sends Isaac a warning through a previously unseen Lord’s Book: “Prepare yourselves. It has begun.”
• Isaac analyzes the Lord’s Book and discovers that it is connected to an Authority controlled by the Terra Empire. These books can secretly mobilize the resources of an entire territory, including geomantic and magical power. Isaac suspects Mensa is both alerting him and demonstrating the Empire’s hidden strength.
• Isaac then senses an overwhelming surge of Magic Power above the sky. A message from the heavens announces that another Great Wizard has been born—or has “proven the Way.”
• The Great Wizard has created the Endless Sea, a vast ocean existing parallel to reality and connected to the world only at fixed points. It contains immense treasures, including Divinity Fragments and complete Godhoods taken from true gods.
• The Endless Sea was formed using the corpses of slain gods and the power of their divine kingdoms. Isaac realizes that Mensa wants him to enter this ocean and search for Godhoods on behalf of the Terra Empire.

Character Developments

• Isaac remains cautious, opportunistic, and strategically detached. He avoids involvement in conflicts that do not directly serve his interests while exploiting them as cover for his revenge plans.
• His research continues to expand his knowledge, particularly through Transformation Magic, though his inability to steal the God of Credit’s power secretly frustrates him.
• Isaac becomes increasingly aware that the Terra Empire possesses deeper and more formidable powers than it openly reveals. His reaction is not fear but curiosity and renewed interest.
• His excitement at the discovery of the Endless Sea reveals his ambition. Rather than being intimidated by the appearance of a Great Wizard, Isaac views the new realm as an opportunity to obtain extraordinary power and resources.
• Mensa acts as a cautious intermediary for the Empire. He warns Isaac indirectly, provides him with the Lord’s Book, and appears to test or display the Empire’s strength while recruiting Isaac for a dangerous mission.
• The Great Wizard is introduced as an almost incomprehensibly powerful figure whose achievements surpass those of ordinary gods.

Significant Themes

• Power hidden beneath appearances: The Empire’s apparent institutions conceal powerful Authorities, Demigods, and mechanisms such as the Lord’s Books.
• Strategic neutrality and manipulation: Isaac avoids openly choosing sides, using the war between the Empire and the Lord of Myriad Flesh to advance his own objectives.
• The limits of knowledge and power: Even Isaac’s Golden Finger cannot easily overcome the God of Credit’s defenses, emphasizing that divine power has been contested and protected for ages.
• The nature of greatness: Great Wizards are defined not only by strength but also by their contributions to the evolution of civilization and the world.
• Opportunity within danger: The war, the Empire’s secret powers, and the Endless Sea all represent threats, but Isaac primarily sees them as opportunities for advancement.
• The relationship between gods and wizards: The creation of the Endless Sea demonstrates that the greatest wizards can kill gods, repurpose their divine remains, and potentially surpass divine civilization.
