• Shien asked Lidas whether she valued Roxie's wishes and challenged her for rejecting the marriage without consulting Roxie.
• Roxie and Anxi tried to stop Shien, but Sera and Aiyi encouraged him to continue, while Anima explained that Lidas respected her other Blessing Bearer's choices too.
• Shien argued that his marriage to Roxie was mutual and approved by the royal family and kingdom, so Lidas had no reason to oppose it.
• Anima offered to apologize for Lidas, but Lidas stopped her and said she would handle the matter herself.

After Shien challenged Lidas, the Goddess of Fate apologized clumsily, prompting Aiyi and Sela to explain the immense limits and power of her fate-manipulating authority.

• Aiyi explained that goddesses wield innate authorities tied to their domains, and that Lidas’s authority let her manipulate fate.

• Shien returned to House Poztut with Aiyi and Lilith after the banquet, while Vivian's Squad, Laisha, and Lasha had already gone back.
• Lasha took the sleeping Lilith from Shien, and Shien went to the bathhouse to rest after the exhausting day.

• Roxie told Shien that Liana had been frail since birth and had remained at the temple to recuperate after giving birth to Ria and Roxie.

Shien hesitated to meet Roxie's sickly mother, then learned Roxie had told her she truly loved him. Their affectionate teasing convinced Yule that they were genuinely in love, before Lidas and Anima joined them at the temple as Shien prepared to enter the Inner Sanctum.

• Shien admitted he was nervous about meeting Roxie's mother, and Roxie explained that her mother had agreed to the marriage after asking whether Roxie truly loved him.

• Anima led Shien to a vast plaza at the temple’s deepest point, where a lone door marked “Principle” stood.
• Anima explained that the door led to a place near the World Principle, where visitors could gain extraordinary enlightenment, then told Shien to push it open.

• The vision collapsed, and the vortex spat Shien back onto the plaza before Anima.

Shien emerged from the Inner Sanctum with the new Unique Skill Fate Principle, despite Anima explaining that no one could awaken a second Unique Skill. He returned to the Waiting Hall with Anima, where he found Lidas urging Roxie not to marry him and grabbed Lidas by the head.

• Shien asked Anima whether someone who already had a Unique Skill could awaken another, and Anima said no one in Omnipotens's history had done so.

• Shien escorted Roxie to the royal palace, then returned alone to House Poztut to study Fate Principle.
• Shien found that Fate Principle could reconfigure skills he possessed, but it could not affect Unique or Special Skills, create skills, or exceed a skill's potential.
• Shien learned that reconfiguring skills consumed Skill Points, though Heaven's Grace had left him with several thousand to spend.

Shien used Fate Principle to refine and fuse skills, then asked Roxie, Aiyi, and Anima to find masters who could teach him every kind of skill. As experts from the Human, Demon, and God Races gathered at House Poztut, they soon fled or celebrated Shien’s astonishing ability to learn their skills.

• Shien declared that he needed to find someone to spar with, and his magic aura startled people throughout the royal capital.

• Shien released a restrained but overwhelming aura that drew powerful figures from the royal capital to House Poztut.
• Shien's acquaintances and other observers gathered around the plaza but stayed hidden, shocked by how much his mana had grown.
