Chapter Summary

Plot and Key Events

  • A massive White Whale star beast attacks them immediately. Isaac freezes it with his Authority Spell, Arrogant Turtle, but chooses not to kill it because its enormous body would make the battle unnecessarily difficult.
  • Inside the Star Sea, everyone’s perception is severely restricted. Isaac, however, uses the Dimension World to enhance his awareness and realizes that the Star Sea exists independently of the real world, likely because it formed from the corpses of fallen Star Gods.
  • Isaac concludes that the Star Sea is especially suited to Evil God Churches, making it a dangerous gathering place for powerful villains and cults.
  • Using the Dimension World, Authority Analysis, and a starry magical projection, Isaac searches for Remy Gallard. He identifies two possible locations, recognizing that Remy has concealed his true position through mystery.
  • To avoid alerting Remy, the group divides and attacks both locations simultaneously. Caesar travels with Corrosion and Erosion, while Isaac travels with Rona and Little Mouse.

  • Caesar: He recognizes Isaac’s rapid growth and accepts the split-operation strategy. As a God-Favored, he possesses significant mysterious status and remains capable of handling close combat despite the Star Sea’s perceptual suppression.
  • Rona: She has advanced to High Witch, not through scholarly study but by awakening more of her Witch bloodline. Her magical power has increased dramatically, and she can now sustain third-tier dragons and Pure-Blooded Giant Dragons for long periods. Her desire to become stronger is driven by her wish to support Isaac.
  • Corrosion and Erosion: They serve as Dimension Apostles and can guide Caesar through the Dimension World’s power. Isaac views them as replaceable long-term assets because they may eventually fall behind as the Dimension World develops.
  • Remy Gallard: The unseen antagonist is established as an extremely dangerous High Wizard and Mad Witch. His trait, Miracle, allows him to accumulate miracles through others’ misfortunes, while his faith-based ability, Prank Master, manipulates luck and misfortune.

Significant Themes

  • Mystery versus mystery: Remy’s miracles make ordinary plans unreliable, but Isaac believes greater accumulated mystery—along with Caesar’s God-Favored status—can overcome him.
