Chapter Summaries

Roy’s efforts to rebuild the Hermetic Society in Luxis were hampered by the Temple’s witch hunts and Divine Oracle Prophecy, while Zaif narrowly escaped a raid on a secret meeting. Roy helped Zaif cover his tracks and gave him new training, as Kerrigan ordered continued surveillance of suspected wizards.

• Roy brought Zaif to the forest near Luxis, arranged emergency shelter and supplies, and heard from Wolde that the Temple planned to ban several books.
• Temple Knights burned forbidden books, and the Inquisition later executed alleged heretics in Luxis while Zaif watched in anger.
• The Temple’s prophecy and raids crippled Roy’s Commercial Kingdom plan, so he told Sumaco to preserve their people and prepare for a future opportunity instead of causing indiscriminate chaos.
• Zaif attended a Hermetic Secret Meeting, learned how the Temple’s Witch’s Hammer treated every sign as proof of witchcraft, and fled when the Temple attacked the gathering.
• Zaif escaped the witch hunters with a teleportation scroll and used a Mushroom Demon and magical pet to protect his merchant guild cover; Roy then gave him a scent-altering potion and taught him secret arts.
• Kerrigan, now Chief Judge of the Inquisition, ordered his knights to watch suspects from Kaipan City and kill them if necessary.

Roy helped Zaif develop a plan to influence the Temple, while his growing community of creations gave him a new Creation domain and an alchemical Knowledge Container. As new wizards emerged and Seraphina advanced, Roy’s alchemy talent neared another breakthrough.

• Zaif summoned a Level 1 Filth-Earth Demonic Hound, then distracted Temple Knights during their inspection of the Attic Merchant Guild.
• Roy told Zaif the earlier ambush had been caused by a Divine Oracle Prophecy, and Zaif proposed formalizing indulgences to address the Temple’s corruption and backlog of cases.
• Zaif cultivated Priest Korup, who became a bishop and helped win Temple approval for the indulgence proposal, while Roy used the Golden Basin to create gold and populate Maya’s Little People Country.
• Roy sensed faith from Maya and her subjects and discovered his Domain of Creation; he later gained a Knowledge Container that let him embed alchemical knowledge in Mysticism Runes.
• Zaif rescued imprisoned merchants, built connections for the Commercial Kingdom plan, and married Malkadan’s daughter, Mephila, receiving a rune-filled book from Roy as a wedding gift.
• Seraphina advanced into a wizard, triggering a surge in Roy’s Alchemy Talent Acquisition, which rose from 43% to 97%.

Roy forged a Knowledge Domain artifact, gained a powerful alchemical talent, and created a Holy Light mask anchored to Harry Leo while preparing another artifact for Sumaco. King Kaipan’s sudden decline led him to consider converting to the Lord of Radiance, threatening the First Prince’s succession and prompting him to seek Sumaco’s help.

• Seraphina joined the Hermetic Society, proved herself, and received Roy’s Book of Inheritance and Seed of Knowledge to spread wizard knowledge.
• Roy fused the Book of Truth with the Book of Formations into the Book of Alchemy and gained the Third Treatise talent, which deepened his grasp of alchemical knowledge.
• Roy refined a Divine Spark Fragment into his own Holy Light fragment and forged Harry Reot’s Countenance, a mask that imitated Harry Leo’s divine presence.
• Roy agreed to forge an elemental staff for Sumaco, but Sumaco warned him that King Kaipan had fallen ill and was seeking a longevity elixir.
• After his health worsened, King Kaipan began handing authority to the princes and considered converting to the Lord of Radiance; Vasilisa warned the First Prince that this could threaten his succession.
• The First Prince realized the conversion could favor the Temple-raised Second Prince, then left the palace to find Sumaco.

Roy and Sumaco backed the First Prince’s bid to govern after King Kaipan suffered a stroke, while the Temple uncovered the king’s illicit discovery and prepared to intervene. After Roy learned the First Prince was having an affair with Queen Vasilisa, he chose to revive the king and mobilize allies, and the chapter ended with the First Prince arriving at the palace gates for the court assembly, unaware of the danger.

• Roy urged Sumaco not to act prematurely, but the First Prince grew anxious about the king’s apparent turn toward the Temple and the Second Prince’s rising favor.
• King Kaipan discovered Queen Vasilisa and the First Prince together, suffered a stroke, and became unable to rule; the First Prince ordered the palace sealed and sought regency.
• Roy and Sumaco supported the First Prince as regent, while Nobilis proposed that Queen Vasilisa govern temporarily; Roy and Sumaco used the proposal to buy time.
• The Temple used its All-Seeing Eye to uncover the affair and planned to support the Second Prince with Temple Knights, while Roy spread rumors against the Temple and expanded the Hermetic Society’s influence.
• Domi secretly witnessed the First Prince and Queen Vasilisa together, and Roy divined the scene, decided to revive King Kaipan, and ordered allies in Tijara and Lux to mobilize.
• Nearly half a month later, the First Prince arrived at the palace for the court assembly, still unaware of Roy’s preparations and sensing only a vague unease.

Roy intervened in the royal coup, had Winsbell resurrect the First Prince, and revealed his Divine Countenance to defeat and plunder a Four-winged Angel. The angel's patron threatened Roy before the World Will drove it away, leaving the Temple forces fleeing and the Second Prince laughing in shock.

• The First Prince was ambushed at the palace gate, while Sumaco rushed to help him and Nobilis blocked Sumaco in his angelic form.
• Roy and Seraphina entered the king's bedchamber, where Roy turned Sumaco's guards into stone and Seraphina gave King Kaipan a potion.
• The Second Prince shot the First Prince with a Demon-Breaking Arrow, but Winsbell used the Staff of Light Energy Regeneration to resurrect him.
• Nobilis denounced Winsbell's miracle, and the Second Prince's forces pursued the First Prince as Roy fought back and donned the Divine Countenance.
• Roy's holy form struck down Nobilis's Four-winged Angel, bound its soul, and stripped away 3,000 degrees of Spiritual Entity before the World Will repelled the angel's patron.
• The Temple forces fled, and the Second Prince stood frozen before breaking into laughter and praising their retreat.

After the coup in Tijara, Roy and the kingdom prepared for the Temple’s Holy War, and Roy forged an angel-soul weapon to hunt the enemy’s Divine Descenders. He ambushed Fides forces at the border, harvested their angels’ souls, and grew stronger as the war began.

• King Kaipan exiled the First Prince to Fobban Island and learned that the Second Prince had lost his sanity, while the Temple condemned Tijara and rallied believers for war.
• Roy examined the Temple’s seized treasures, discovered the Soul Fragment of the Dominion Angel Pogre, and forged it into the Level 4 Inevitability War Spear of Holy Light.
• At a royal meeting, Roy and Sumaco assessed the Temple’s forces, and Roy left Kaipan City to hunt angels while Sumaco stayed to respond to events.
• Roy attacked the Fides barracks, killed a priest and two holy knights with help from Planje and Zofir, and claimed two angel soul fragments.
• Roy fused the harvested souls into his war spear and increased his strength, resolving to keep hunting Divine Descenders.

The Temple used its believers and the World Will to track Roy after his raids against its Divine Descenders. Roy recognized the Net of Heaven and Earth closing around him, but chose to strike an isolated squad of five Divine Descenders before it could surround him.

• Hermetic Society apprentices celebrated Roy’s victories, while Seraphina feared Divya would threaten her teacher and Nissa assured her that Roy could handle the danger.
• Sumaco learned that Divya and the Judgment Knights were hunting Roy, and warned that the Temple might gather its forces for a single battle.
• Roy strengthened the Inevita War Spear with Furia’s blood and spirit, then added the concepts of beauty and wealth to create a weapon that could corrode an angel’s origin.
• Roy avoided an elite search party, while Heilag’s Divine Oracle Prophecy failed to reveal his location; Roy later killed three more Level 3 opponents and improved the spear again.
• Roy sensed a gaze from the void as the Temple gathered its believers to track him, then realized they were using the World Will to search across the world.
• Roy headed toward an isolated squad of five Divine Descenders, intending to attack before the Temple could surround him.

Roy fought Divya and Pope Leo VIII while his Slice Avatars attacked the Temple's churches across three kingdoms. With help from his followers, Planje, and Alice, he killed Divya, corrupted an Angel, and turned Leo VIII into a Natural Gold statue, leaving Harry Leo as the remaining threat.

• Roy killed Temple Knights and four Divine Descenders with Melting, Miniature Nuclear Bombs, and his spear before Divya arrived.
• Pope Leo VIII joined Divya in Angel Descent, and Roy wore the Golden Mask to confront them with Divine Countenance.
• Roy's Slice Avatars attacked the Temple's churches in Luxis, Fides Kingdom, and Pistis Kingdom, forcing the archbishops and their forces to defend themselves.
• Roy summoned Athedia, Beril, and Anjali, then used the Phononic Resonance Stone and Planje's poisoned strike to kill Divya and separate her Angel.
• Roy's Inevita War Spear corrupted the Angel, while the Angel's counterpart struck Roy and Athedia blocked the blow with her shield.
• Alice blocked Harry Leo's powerful sword strike, and Planje poisoned Leo VIII, allowing Roy to turn most of his body into Natural Gold and force the Holy Spirit out.

Roy defeated the Temple forces in Eglis, drove back Harry Leo’s intervention, and helped establish a joint system for witchcraft and arcane education. Half a year later, Winsbell unexpectedly obtained a Divine Spark Fragment, and Roy chose to help her pursue godhood before he left.

• Roy and his allies killed Temple fighters until Harry Leo appeared as a blood-red, eye-covered sphere and helped the remaining Divine Descenders escape.
• Roy joined the Beast God Body in defeating Heilag, expelled the Four-winged Angel’s soul, and ordered Zaif and the apprentices to search the Temple’s holdings.
• Roy and his followers gathered Temple records, relics, and equipment; he created Valkyrie Valchiria from a Soul Stone and gave her the Inevita War Spear.
• Roy negotiated with Sumaco to establish both Magic Academies and Witchcraft Academies, while wizards and mages continued hunting Divine Descenders together.
• Six months later, Winsbell presented Roy with a Divine Spark Fragment of the Goddess of Light, and Roy told her to focus the faith anchors on herself and prepare for godhood.

Roy completed the Goddess of Light statue, entrusted Seraphina with two Demigod Artifacts, and helped establish a new Temple of Light that captured Kerrigan. He then broadcast an introductory alchemy lesson across the world, and the mysterious power it generated condensed into a domain he did not expect.

• Roy finished painting the Goddess of Light statue and told Furia that its sacred jade, divine-power channels, and Faith Anchor Point could make it a powerful golem if it gained believers.
• Roy gave Seraphina the Golden Basin and Golden Mask to guard, instructing her to keep them hidden and pass them to Zaif’s Hermetic Society if she later left the world.
• Months later, the Temple of Light opened in Luxis, where Zaif’s forces identified and pursued Kerrigan; after escaping into the wilderness, Kerrigan was bombed by a Sky Patrol Warship and killed.
• Roy met with Sussell and Kaisha, discussed the Legendary Elements needed to become an Archmage, and recruited their help for his experiments.
• Roy broadcast his first alchemy lesson worldwide, and people including Pier Sporra, Zaif, and Seraphina received copies of his Concise Alchemy Primer.
• After Roy ended the lesson, Mysterious Source Material condensed between his brows, and he realized it was not connected to the Knowledge Domain.

Roy gained an Alchemy Godhead, returned to Weizel with new authority, and used its power to improve alchemy and create Nivla Angels. After arranging for the angels to study and return their faith to him, he received approval for his Eglis mission rewards and prepared to return to Academia.

• Roy acquired a Level 5 Alchemy Godhead but chose to store it in his Constellation Fate Disk rather than ascend to godhood before he was ready.
• Roy returned to the Oakmi Witch Tower, where Weizel’s World Will recognized his status and granted him access to participate in formulating Sacred Law.
• Roy demonstrated that his Alchemy Godhead strengthened his talents and let him bestow the divine art of Elemental Separation on Furia.
• Roy created Gwenita, a Gold-tier Nivla Angel, then made more Nivla Angels and arranged for them to study under Furia and later guide human apprentices.
• Dief told Roy that his request to receive Divine Spark Fragments for his Eglis mission rewards had been approved, and Roy decided to return to Academia.

Roy returned to Academia Academy, claimed three Knowledge Domain Divine Spark Fragments, and fused the academy’s four grimoires into a powerful Book of Alchemy. While testing its abilities, he created a dangerous, rapidly growing monster and continued investigating Chalk Genesis to repair Alice; after learning the Seven Towers Alliance was researching the technique, he planned to visit Chalk Country before joining the project at Fertile Garden.

• Roy returned to Academia Academy, received three Divine Spark Fragments from Dief, and fused the academy’s four grimoires into Roy's Book of Alchemy.
• Roy tested the book’s abilities with Furia and discovered that interrupted refinements could produce unexpected creations, including a powerful Osser Mud Monster.
• The Osser Mud Monster attacked Litos, so Furia planned to move it to Alagi World, where it could grow in the Gnolls' territory.
• Roy studied Alice’s Chalk Genesis repair method through research and discussions, then learned from Dief that Fertile Garden and Nabian Wizard were organizing a project to recreate it.
• Roy accepted the opportunity to join the research at Fertile Garden but decided to visit Chalk Country first.

Roy returned to the Bone Forest with Manant to collect Chalk Soil, but a mysterious voice and mist trapped them and stirred up a horde of monsters. As a gigantic face appeared in the northern sky, Manant recognized it as Kosrauma, the Demon God-level Aberration that had attacked Archmages.

• Roy arrived at Oasis Camp and asked Manant to guide him into the Bone Forest to collect Chalk Soil.
• Roy and Manant reached a nearby hill, where Roy dug up several cubic meters of soil before they started back.
• Roy heard a faint, eerie chant that Manant could not hear, and a mysterious mist disrupted Roy's Teleportation Spell.
• A horde of Bone Demons attacked, so Roy summoned Athedia, Anjali, and the others to fight them.
• Roy sensed that the monsters were being driven by a mysterious power and warned everyone not to flee north.
• A gigantic, corpse-pale face appeared in the northern sky, and Manant identified it as Kosrauma.

Roy escaped Kosrauma in the Bone Forest, but a sorrowful voice followed him back to the Witch Tower. After repairing Alice with Chalk Soil, he discovered the voice had called him “Baby.”

• Roy resisted Kosrauma’s soul-affecting call, separated his Soul Stone from his body, and escaped with Manant after realizing the aberration attacked either his mind or body depending on whether he faced it.
• Manant told Roy that Archmage Quinnico had vanished inside Genesis Garden and that awakened aberrations might be transforming Chalk Country into a Weird World.
• Roy and Manant returned to Oasis Camp, where Roy realized the first voice he had heard differed from Kosrauma’s and hurried to leave; the voice followed him to the Teleportation Array.
• Roy returned to the Witch Tower, gained the Silver Rank Demon God Mask talent, and used Chalk Soil to repair Alice’s wounds temporarily.
• Roy consulted the library records and learned that the mysterious ancient Weizel Wizard expression meant “Baby.”

Roy studied how to strengthen his dragon body with divine power and planned to craft combat artifacts while pursuing the power needed to become an Archmage. At Oasis Camp, Manant received the expedition’s haul, but Soant secretly produced a lyre and offered it to Psycho, creating a dispute over the treasure.

• Roy used his knowledge of faith and ritual to develop a Sanctification Potion that could strengthen bodies with divine power.
• Roy bathed in the holy-water pool with his followers and outlined plans to repair Alice, develop sanctified artifacts, and advance toward becoming an Archmage.
• Roy returned to the hall as Manant paid three wizards for the goods they had recovered from the Blood Seal Demon Bee’s nest.
• Psycho asked Manant to show him the treasures, but Manant refused because they belonged to an important figure who had entrusted them to him.
• Soant offered Psycho a hidden treasure, then revealed an ancient-looking lyre with intact strings.

Roy learned that Soant had sold a Lyre Society artifact to Psycho and used Sacred Law to curse Soant after locating the item inside the Witch Tower. Soant was left paralyzed, while Psycho later left the tower with the artifact, giving Roy a chance to pursue him.

• Psycho offered Soant a million magic stones for the ancient lyre, and Manant objected that it belonged to Roy.
• Roy learned the Bee Swarm’s queen was near death and ordered its eggs and royal jelly sent to Alagi World, then instructed Manant to retrieve the lyre.
• Roy divined that the lyre was inside a Space Ring on the Witch Tower’s fifth floor and used Sacred Law to bind and curse Soant.
• Soant returned to his companions, dismissed their concerns, and was struck by a curse that left him paralyzed on his bed.
• Several days later, Pseudo left the Witch Tower, and Roy used Projection Spell to teleport after him.

Roy recovered the Ancient Lyre from Psycho and entered the Fertile Garden as Wizard Kirik, where he received funding and materials to research Chalk Genesis. With Furia and the Maiden's Skull's help, he began an experiment to create a living Canine Girl, and the first subject awakened on the laboratory table.

• Roy's Projection Incarnation attacked Psycho in Vulkan World, turned part of his body to gold, and forced him to return the Ancient Lyre.
• Roy examined the lyre, then traveled with Furia and the others to the Fertile Garden after arranging Soant's punishment for overstaying.
• Nimledo welcomed Roy to the Fertile Garden, where he registered as a visiting scholar and began planning research into demonic hounds and wolf-type Arcane Beasts with Furia.
• At a welcome party, Doniru approved Chalk Dog materials, access, and more than three hundred million in startup funding for Roy's research.
• Roy, Furia, and the Maiden's Skull launched the Chalk Genesis project to create a body for Melina, and Roy's first Chalk Soil Canine Girl awakened after he infused her with activation magic and divine power.

Roy studied how bloodline traits could be stably inherited, using Werewolves in Wol as subjects and developing creatures through breeding and transplantation. His experiments produced many failures but advanced his research, while his own attributes rose substantially over the year.

• Roy concluded that stable bloodline inheritance and reproductive ability were essential to creating viable new species, then arranged for Nimledo to find Werewolves for experiments.
• Nimledo appeared before the Werewolves of Wol as the Moon God Envoy and gave their tribe three Bloodline Potions in exchange for exterminating giant crocodiles and collecting Firefly Pouch Flowers.
• Roy created a Frenzied Wolf heart whose regenerative ability could be inherited, then experimented with combining organs and traits from humans, Werewolves, and wolfhounds.
• A beast-eared test subject died after her Gene Chain collapsed, so Roy refined Harmonization Potions to address conflicts between bloodlines and sent them to Wol.
• Roy continued breeding dog-eared subjects, euthanizing failed specimens and sending combat-capable mutants to the Planar Battlefield.
• After a year of experiments and consuming many potions, Roy's physical attributes exceeded 1,300, his Spirit Attribute exceeded 1,800, and Sage's Proverbs reached 2,000.

Roy developed a bloodline-based Alchemy Demon Eye for Lia, then refined and fused more than a hundred copies into a powerful level-three organ. After arranging for one to gain power and destiny in another world, he was summoned to help defend the endangered Vulkan World.

• Roy and Furia examined Lia's dragon-wolf bloodline, and Gwenita found Wizard Valg Garin's book on Bloodline Seeds.
• Roy created an Ability Potion that awakened Primitive Alchemy in Lia's golden, patterned eyes.
• Roy crafted and fused Alchemy Demon Eyes, producing a level-three organ with Law Power and greatly enhanced casting ability.
• Roy arranged through Nimledo to send an Alchemy Demon Eye to Wolfe World to absorb destiny and legendary elements.
• Doniru announced that Vulkan World was in urgent danger and ordered the Advanced Wizards to suspend their work and help reinforce its defenses.

Roy developed a metal-eating Dragon Dung Beetle to help address the Vargion race’s declining reproduction in Vulkan World. After meeting Psycho, he proposed improving the beetles’ combat traits while using Alchemy Potions to support their reproduction, with a Divine Spark Fragment offered as an incentive.

• Chrysos told Roy that the Vargion beetles ruled Vulkan World after native creatures mutated from dung left by Titans.
• Roy studied the Vargion crisis, examined several combat-ready subspecies, and used his Golden Dragon excrement to breed a new Dragon Dung Beetle.
• Roy submitted his results, and Archmage Doniru praised the beetle’s potential and promised support if the frontline legion approved it.
• Psycho visited Roy on behalf of Vulkan World’s frontline legion and asked him to improve the Dragon Dung Beetle’s reproductive ability.
• Psycho revealed that the legion’s commander had requested a Divine Spark Fragment, and Roy proposed enhancing the beetles’ combat abilities while using Reproduction Potions to aid breeding.
