He remained in the capital to guard it, then comforted Roxie as she mourned the destruction of her home and recalled an earlier attack.

• The Hero rose above the royal capital and saw monsters, knights, and demons fighting across the frozen land.

A month after Danas declared war on every faction, the New Primal Demon’s betrayals, world-sealing attacks, and vast armies plunged Omnipotens into a global conflict. The Kingdom of Mithra remained the Human Realm’s last major stronghold as Shien and the others waited for contact with the Demon Realm and the Divine Realm to be restored.

Shien returned to House Poztut after defeating a Demonoid Larva and found Lasha waiting for him, now serving as his maid after Laisha transferred her ownership.

• Shien carried the embarrassed Merika to a pavilion and continued teasing her.

Shien reflected on the war’s toll as he comforted Merika, whose blessing and training had made her an exceptionally powerful nature mage.

• Shien sensed that the goddesses were making plans to reclaim the initiative after the New Primal Demon’s string of victories.
