Light, the new manager of Miletus’s Drinking Hall, challenged the mages’ contempt for Egyptian witches by arguing that prejudice was hindering their understanding of magic. He left the debate with Hamorro reconsidering how little he knew about witches’ beliefs.

• The Drinking Hall Demigods debated whether Greece should make war on Egypt and condemn Egyptian witchcraft.
• Hamorro asked Light to share his opinion, and Light compared the mages’ desire to suppress witches with nobles’ belief in their own superior bloodlines.
• Light argued that the mages, witches, and nobles were each using different standards to claim superiority, and urged the mages to judge their relationship with Egypt more neutrally.
• Light explained that his hatred of witches had kept him from studying the Old Witch Array Diagrams and witch theories, which later proved valuable to his progress.
• Light asked Hamorro how he could presume to know what tens of thousands of witches believed; Hamorro admitted he had only seen several witches look down on mages.

The hall considered his case that the Norsemen were already advancing by embracing that inheritance, leaving the Greek mages to decide whether they would follow suit.

• Light questioned Hamorro about the Egyptian sorcerers he had met, and Hamorro admitted that although some had wronged him, they were not all villains.

• Light explained that rejecting sorcery and Egypt made mages reject knowledge that had helped them, while the Norsemen advanced by embracing stronger magic and claiming humanity’s shared inheritance.

• Hamorro approached Suye and invited him to join an expedition led by the Saint Realm potion master Caska into a vast Divine Power Plane.
• Hamorro explained that the team would have ten members, divide shared gains by contribution, and leave ownership of the Plane Heart to whoever obtained it.

• Hamorro recruited Suye for the expedition after learning he specialized in Water Magic and Metal Element magic.
• Suye met the prospective party members, including Termending, the son of Prince Benhala, and mocked Termending's low status among Persians after Termending challenged his unknown background.
• Hamorro explained that Termending had become hostile because he had wanted to bring a friend into the party, and he promised that he and Caska would choose Suye if the conflict threatened the group.

• Andre negotiated with the Revenge Priest, demanding a way to force Suye back to Athens before he reached the legendary level and declaring that he wanted to marry into the Demigod Family.

• Suye questioned Water Elder Has about the Water Elements’ unusual strength, and Has revealed Whale Country’s history as a fortress of the Old Sea Pantheon that had been cast adrift after Nereus fell.
• Has explained that the Water Elements had encountered God Lake and grown stronger from its leaking power, though they could not enter it.
• Has revealed that Whale Springs could lead into the Giant Whale Duke’s body and possibly an unfinished divine city, but warned that their force and poison killed most who entered.
• Has explained that Suye’s Giant Whale Duke bloodline, Heavy Water, and domains would help him survive an ordinary Whale Spring, but urged him to flee from a great one.
• Has gave Suye three Three-Colored Pearls and offered to trade at twice the value for treasures the Water Elements needed.
• Has asked Suye to bring back Divine Corpse Whale Bone marrow and Divine Corpse Whale Blood in exchange for their treasures.

• Suye learned from Has that Giant Whale Duke bone marrow granted a talent and received a Gold-rimmed Sea Snail for future contact.
• Suye spent several days gathering Whale Country’s history and legends, learning that humans predated the gods’ creation myths and that Old Gods and Olympus traitors were plotting against the Olympians.

• As the Egyptian Water Ship neared the island, Suye sent four Little Lights to unleash enormous, enhanced Giant Wave Techniques against it.
• Sekanisde attacked the waves and broke through two, but the Heavy Water battered him beneath the sea as Suye's Water Ship rammed the Egyptian vessel and Shadow Poison Bees swarmed its crew.

• The Egyptians named Suye the Sea King as they turned away, while Water Elder Has and the Water Elementals stared in disbelief at his power.
• The Water Elementals prostrated themselves before Suye, crowded around him, and revealed more of the Whale Kingdom's secrets.

Suye left the Water Elementals after their farewell gifts revealed their affection, then used their sea chart to sail to the Black Coral merfolk tribe.
