• Wilco retaliated in fury, and the three Sea God System High-Gods warned other factions’ gods to leave the seas.

The Sea God System’s southern standoff drew High-God mediators from the Justice League, Dark Alliance, and Wings of Nature, while unrest spread across the Faelun Continent. In the north, Saine set out again as Purgatory Space’s academies and new professions gained the World Will’s favor, though their ability to challenge the gods remained uncertain.

• Two thousand dragons plundered the City of Wealth while avoiding other cities, though the remaining followers of the Goddess of Wealth blamed them for her disappearance.
• Saine led his people into Missilu City, where the God of Crafts was believed to be hiding, and ordered them to prepare for an attack in two weeks.

• Gond used his wrench to repel Saine and sent a giant puppet against him as Saine transformed into a Flame Demon Lord.

• Gond teleported behind the giant puppet with the Boots of Divine Stealth while Saine and Gond continued fighting.
• An unknown force quietly infiltrated Missilu City, and Saine remained unaware that he had become bait for another presence targeting Gond.

After four days of battle, Saine forced God of Craft Gond to retreat from Missilu City, but a sudden attack by Ferry, the God of Forging, brought Gondor crashing into the lake. Saine faced the arrival of a Mid-Rank God whose motives and history with Gondor remained unclear.

• Ferry, the Mid-Rank God of Forging, appeared, and Gondor surfaced to angrily accuse him of being sinister and narrow-minded.

The chapter revealed the long rivalry between Ferry and Gond, rooted in their competition as gods of forging and worsened by a broken commission. After Ferry ambushed Gond in Missilu City and trapped the area inside a concealment barrier, Gond called on Saine and Yuli to fight alongside him.

• Gond had risen to prominence by offering affordable, innovative divine artifacts, while Ferry’s high prices and established reputation fueled their rivalry.

• Ferry refused Saine’s request to leave and attacked him and Gondor, intent on taking Saine to the God of Elements and dismantling Yuli.
• Yuli fired Energy Beams and magic puppet shells, then charged Ferry, while Saine raised layers of Magic Shields and Gondor merged with the Wooden Giant puppet.

• Saine used the Pickaxe’s momentum to flee south, while Gondor rose again and retreated in the same direction as he fought Ferry.
• Saine and Gondor counterattacked as they withdrew, with Yuli supporting them, but Ferry’s Crystal Cube barrier enclosed the battlefield.

Saine began casting a single-target Forbidden Spell to break the Cubic Crystal barrier while Gondor fought Ferry to buy him time. The spell’s red-and-white light erupted just as Ferry taunted Gondor about the quality of his divine artifacts.

• Gondor struck the Cubic Crystal barrier with the power of three divine artifacts, creating a small crack, and Saine told him to hold Ferry back.
• Saine reached the barrier’s southern edge, activated the Green Source Seed, and found that the crack had already begun repairing itself.
• Saine wedged his Magic Staff into the crack, added the light-element divine spark from his Demon Mask beside its fire-element spark, and began casting a Forbidden Spell.
• Ferry gained the upper hand against Gondor, who revealed a stone-slab divine artifact that disrupted the trajectories of Ferry’s attacks.
• Ferry mocked Gondor’s slab as an imitation Fate Stone Slab, and Saine’s spell erupted in a beam of red-and-white elemental light.

Saine used an immature forbidden-spell-level Eye of Penetration to pierce the Crystal Barrier, injuring himself and forcing a path out. As the God of Crafts emerged in a weakened state, Saine ordered his companions to flee, while gods elsewhere noticed the battle and one purple-gowned woman headed toward it.

• Saine aimed his Eye of Penetration at the Crystal Barrier, pierced it, and was blasted aside by the spell's recoil.
