After Anvis revealed that he was an Eighth Rank Peak diviner, Carlot agreed to find a way to get him the key, though the Circle of Truth remained an obstacle.

Leo and Anvis prepared to unleash Spark’s final operation against the Federation, with Leo accepting that the rebellion would destroy itself along with its targets. The coordinated assault began across the Federation’s kingdoms, leaving their capitals engulfed in explosions and battle.

• The Elves strengthened Light of Hope and Spark, and their attacks drew the Federation’s kingdoms deeper into war.
• Federation officials who had secretly supported Spark withdrew their funding and tried to suppress the organization.

As noble families struggled over the territories left exposed by the Spark Organization’s attacks, Anvis watched the Web of Fate and concealed Leo’s whereabouts while Claire’s journey through the Sea of Oblivion ran into a deadly storm. He told Lia that a potion might activate her Heterogeneous Bloodline, but the Old Days Secret Scripture suddenly opened to a prophecy section he had never been able to read.

• With the Federal Speaker asleep, Landon began investigating how the Construct Network worked and where recovered bodies were taken.
• Landon followed a body collector through a spatial jump and infiltrated the Demiplane controlled by the Federal Speaker.

• Landon followed an authorized Construct Human into the spire and reached a vast hall with a mountain-sized machine connected to a glowing network.

Coloqi struggled to find work as elves, Construct Humans, and Outsiders changed life in Yar Continent, until a scarlet Rule Domain shut down the Construct Network and incapacitated Construct Humans. At the domain’s source, six Ninth Rank elf Spellcasters faced a revealed Demiplane connection point, where a Ninth Rank Council projection waited by the Plane Gate.

Seymour Silverleaf and five other ninth-rank Elves forced open the Construct Network Demiplane to reach its historical records, while Landon began the Light of Hope Organization’s plan to distribute the Hope Newspaper. The Elves entered the Demiplane as Landon sent the operation signal, and he then infiltrated the Demiplane himself.

Landon infiltrated the Demiplane during a battle between the Ninth-Rank elves and the Speaker’s defenders, hoping to reach the Core High Tower and destroy the Construct Network’s core. Seymour Silverleaf used a dark-green branch to summon the Dark Green Giant Tree, which disabled the Construct Legion and silenced the Parliament’s defenders, leaving the Core High Tower dark.

• After the phantom vanished, the Construct Legion lay in liquid metal, the Core High Tower went dark, and the Nature Legion collapsed from exhaustion.

After the Ninth Rank Elves vanished inside the High Tower, Landon entered to investigate and found the hall empty. The Federal Speaker appeared, revealed he had awakened to a new understanding of his will, and threatened Landon with images of captured members of the Light of Hope.

• Lord Dark Raven told Landon that the Dark Green Giant Tree was likely the World Tree, one of the Great Existences, and warned him not to probe forbidden knowledge.

• The Federal Speaker showed Landon images of Lia, Teacher Shute, and Vio imprisoned in Magic-Sealing Shackles, and said his forces had attacked Light of Hope strongholds.

Anvis waited in a magically sealed cell while Landon was forced to descend into the tower and fight through its defenses to reach the prisoners. Landon reached Anvis and Lia, but the cell’s blood-activated lock transported his blood to an unknown location.

• Anvis remained imprisoned and watched a projection of Landon speaking with the Federal Speaker and the other captured members of the Light of Hope.
• The Federal Speaker revealed the prisoners’ locations, warned that destroying their cells would annihilate their consciousnesses, and told Landon to use his blood to unlock them.
• Landon ignored Dark Crow’s warning and entered the underground passage, where beam attacks and Constructs forced him into battle.
• Anvis studied his cell and discovered that its lock contained transmission patterns and that the Old Days Secret Scripture reacted to a strange aura.
• Landon broke through a metal door and reached Anvis and Lia, then poured his blood into Anvis’s cell lock, where the blood was transported away.

Landon and Anvis led the rescued companions through the Construct maze to the final chamber, where the Federal Speaker revealed that Landon’s Goblin Royal Bloodline had helped him gain controller authority over Heinz. The Speaker unleashed a vast power as the starry sky above them formed a Neural Network.

• Landon freed Anvis and explained that he could not break the prison without endangering everyone, while Anvis revealed that he was Seventh Rank.
• Landon and Anvis gathered their captured companions and descended through the maze, destroying Constructs and using a Magic map to find their way.
• Landon led the group to a palace-like chamber at the maze’s deepest point, where a desolate metal world lay beneath a blood-red sky.
• The Federal Speaker appeared on the throne and said that Landon’s Goblin Royal Bloodline had helped him obtain the lowest-level controller authority over Heinz.
