Chapter Summaries

Suye studied the Sea of Mountains and learned that it held the remnants of a divine battle, dangerous Sea Magic Beasts, and a vast Whale Bone Mine. He chose to lead a small expedition into the region, where three enormous Legendary octopus Sea Magic Beasts approached them.

• Sowo transferred his records about the Sea of Mountains to Suye, revealing the danger posed by its savage Sea Magic Beasts and the secrets left by Poseidon's Sea Emperor Trident.
• Suye decided to explore the Whale Bone Mine and said Sanctuary-ranked members who refused would lose permanent priority-selection rights.
• Suye lent Hamorro the Azure Heart so he could join the expedition, while Elsa and her brother confirmed they could go as well.
• Suye selected Sanctuary-ranked members from the Merfolk, Water Elementals, and Bone Whale Race, took three Sanctuary Sea Magic Beasts, and sailed into the Sea of Mountains.
• Three Legendary octopus-type Sea Magic Beasts, two large and one small, drifted toward Suye's party.

Suye led the Water Ship into the Sea of Mountains, where his bloodline and the Dark Gold Sea Snail kept most Sea Magic Beasts from attacking. As Sowo explained the hierarchy of the gods, the group began gathering valuable whale-bone fragments and continued deeper into the dangerous waters.

• Suye displayed his Water Elemental and Giant Whale Duke bloodlines and wore the Dark Gold Sea Snail, deterring a three-headed Sea Magic Beast from approaching the ship.
• Sowo explained the ranks of gods and described the powers and fates of Pentos, his children, and the current Sea Gods; Suye reasoned that Poseidon had killed Nereus to prove his break with the Old Gods.
• Suye and Sowo explained that the Dark Gold Sea Snail, Suye's bloodline, and the Sea God's blessing would help protect the group while they explored the Whale Bone Mine.
• The group found and collected a whale-bone fragment, then continued searching as Suye used the Altar Eye to locate more fragments and Sea Magic Beasts occasionally snatched some away.
• After a day in the Sea of Mountains, the group had collected twenty whale-bone fragments worth more than twenty million Golden Eagles, while Sea Magic Beasts crowded the waters around them.

Suye drove the Water Ship into a feeding frenzy at Skeleton Mountain, retrieved Whale God's Blood, and escaped the pursuing Sea Magic Beasts. The party reached safety, where Suye revealed he had collected about ten drops of the valuable blood.

• The party reached Skeleton Mountain and saw countless Sea Magic Beasts gathering around the remains of a dead whale.

• Suye and Sowo helped the party evade the pursuing Sea Magic Beasts until they reached a safe part of the seafloor.
• Shark asked what Suye had taken, and Suye revealed he had collected around ten drops of Whale God's Blood.

Suye and Sowo agreed to hunt for treasure together in the Whale Bone Mine after Suye sent the others to safety. After three days of discussing magic, they sensed a disturbance and began searching the mine for its source.

• Suye claimed first choice of the Whale God's Blood and offered to compensate the others with jade and jewelry.
• Sowo agreed to join Suye, and they decided the rest of the group would either return to safety or wait elsewhere for a share of any treasure.

• When the skull’s eye sockets and mouth became murky, Suye chose the left eye socket over the mouth basin and pulled out a meter-long deep-blue crystal.
• Suye searched the eye socket for more treasure but found only small fragments and drops of Whale God’s Blood.

Suye and Sowo discovered and claimed a divine arm bearing two rings in the Whale Bone Mine, then fled a massive Sea Magic Beast pursuit. After Sowo used Frost Star Trace to freeze the sea and stop their pursuers, they headed toward Black Coral City, where a white streak emerged from a Teleportation Gate and turned toward their ship.

• Suye and Sowo saw Sea Magic Beasts battle at Mouth Basin, then discovered a ten-meter blue-and-gold arm with two rings beneath the Whale Bone Mine.

Suye and Medea compared what they knew about the gods’ manipulation of heroes and concluded that the gods used both dead heroes as warriors and living people as vessels. They exchanged records that could clarify the fate of Medea’s sons, while Medea and Sowo reacted to Suye’s extensive research and learned he was only eighteen.

• Medea acknowledged that she had ended her children’s lives to spare them their fates and that the Godking Palace had hunted her after discovering her purpose.
• Sowo revealed that the Ghost Ship stayed in Whale Kingdom and that the Godslayer could partly control it, prompting Suye to suspect Medea had come to find her sons’ undead souls.

Medea explained how Heavenly Marks shaped her family’s fate and led to her sons’ deaths, Jason’s suicide, and her persecution by the temples. Suye proposed using the Sea Magic Beasts against the Godking Palace’s pursuers, while Medea sought clues about the Ghost Ship and Godslayers; the chapter ended with the group unable to open the Void Dragon Ring.

Suye, Medea, and Sowo discussed how to use the God's Arm and prepare for the Godking Palace, while Medea and Sowo spoke privately about their past, the Heavenly Mark, and Suye's potential. Alone in the Ruined Space, Suye reviewed his treasures and sacrifices before taking out Whale Bone Marrow and Whale God Marrow.

• Suye and Medea considered using Enhanced Creation to fuse the God's Arm into water magic, but Suye said he needed the new Three-Dimensional Flame Demon Snake diagram first.

• Suye inspected his accumulated treasures in the Ruined Space and took out a piece of Whale Bone Marrow and the Whale God Marrow.

Suye sacrificed whale marrow and other treasures to gain powerful water and dragon abilities, then began sacrificing the Great General Medal. The medal yielded Demigod Body and two warrior talents, leaving Suye to consider the cost of using Demigod Body before reaching Hero level.

• Suye sacrificed a ten-meter section of whale bone marrow and chose Mana Expansion from the altar's rewards.

• Suye placed Ocean Stairway in his Magic Tower, where it strengthened his Element Root of Water and created a Water Element Source.
• Suye sacrificed the Swan Ring, reached the Seventh Ring, and received Starry Sky Body, Belief Protection, Life and Death, and Divine Authority: Rivers.

Suye gained the River Divine Authority and discovered that the altar had produced the powerful War Divine Authority, which he decided to leave untouched until he became a High God.

Suye, Medea, and Sowo prepared to oppose the Godking Palace’s attempt to seize the Whale Kingdom’s Plane Heart and devised a plan to ambush its Holy Domain priests. After the group set out, Suye fortified his mana and summoned a World Tree armed with water-element abilities for the coming battle.

• Sowo and Medea agreed to help Suye stop the gods from taking the Whale Kingdom, and Medea transferred her magic notes to him.
• Medea advised Suye that becoming Legendary required belief, persistent effort, and searching for magic’s essence; Suye recorded her words.
• The three planned to lure the Godking Palace’s Holy Domain priests into the Sea of Mountains, with Medea drawing them in, Sowo backing her up, and Suye attracting Sea Magic Beasts.
• After five days of preparation, the three reviewed their detailed plan, vowed to keep learning even if they failed, and set off.
• Suye expanded his mana, merged his Mana Wells into three Great Mana Wells, and summoned a World Tree that he equipped with Heavy Water scales and Water Whips.

Suye discovered that his water-element power had reached the Legendary level and created Half-Curse Magic, then disguised himself as Gult to provoke the Sea Magic Beasts and steal treasures from the Whale Bone Mine. He left the beasts furious and chasing him through the sea, while his Azure Seaweed scent made their pursuit even more frenzied.

• Suye used his divine authority and the Ocean Stairway to create a massive Whirlpool Hunt whose power reached the level of the weakest Legendary magic.

Marcus and Gult fought the Sea Magic Beasts while searching for the Plane Heart, but a divine attack severely wounded Marcus and forced them to retreat. Sowo, gravely injured after killing eight Holy Domain priests, entrusted Black Coral City to Suye and said he was dying for the Whale Kingdom.

• Marcus used Angel's Voice—Wings Spread to nearly sever a thick-armored giant shark, then fought the charging Sea Magic Beasts alongside Gult.
• Gult used the Day and Night Judge rings to protect Marcus and devastate the surrounding Sea Magic Beasts, while Marcus slew a Hero Sea Beast.
• A thousand Legendary Sea Beast reinforcements surrounded Marcus and Gult with spells, and Gult dispersed Medea's attempt to erode his divine shield.
• A divine arm struck Marcus despite his defenses, leaving him badly injured; Gult abandoned the pursuit of Medea and took Marcus away to seek the Plane Heart.
• Sowo, wounded after killing eight Holy Domain priests, asked Suye to take responsibility for Black Coral City and said his death would serve the Whale Kingdom.

Suye and Medea comforted the dying Sowo, then resolved to stop the Godking Palace from obtaining the Plane Heart. Medea explained the Palace’s power and Zeus’s role in Heracles’ tragedies, while Suye realized that Gult could use his body as a vessel for a god’s incarnation and wanted to die for that honor.
