• Level-4 Knight Mane welcomed Saine back and reminded him to prepare a speech for the Wizard Alliance Assembly two hundred years before it began.

• As the Alliance Assembly approached, Saine focused on his family and clan and considered leaving behind a bloodline after Xia Ya raised the matter.

After years of failing to conceive, Saine focused on preparing for war by purchasing a Space Fortress. Old Man Pidon recommended that he consider the Bairen Empire’s Fairy Dragon-type fortress instead of buying from Commercial Alliance Capecci.

• Saine and Nataya tried to improve their chances of having a child, but Saine had not fathered any descendants after two hundred years.

Saine asked Old Man Pidon to recommend a Space Fortress within his twenty-to-thirty-million-Magic-Coin budget, and Pidon proposed an older but powerful Kapeiqi model with upgrades. After Saine agreed, he asked Pidon to advise him on additional military equipment and offered to pay for the consultation.

• Saine went to Commercial Alliance Capecci with advice from Old Man Pidon and searched for a suitable space fortress.

After learning that Saine had strengthened his body through experiments, Thor returned the Faceless Mask and showed off his far more expensive Radiant Gold-class Space Fortress.

• Saine recognized the hammer Thor carried as a World-Class Secret Treasure on a level with the Faceless Mask.
• Thor introduced himself as the Thunder God and asked to examine Saine’s mask, while Saine asked to inspect Thor’s hammer.

• Saine and Thor discussed Thor’s Titan World heritage, his love of battle, and his first chance to lead a Titan Legion in war.

• Saine also ordered war machines, including two Light Prism Fortresses and several Mechanic War Bees.

After settling his affairs in the City of Steel, Saine traveled with Thor to the Twenty-Fifth Wizard Alliance Assembly on the Howling Stone Demiplane. There, Saine saw the enormous strength of the Wizard Alliance and marveled that Wizard Civilization still commanded it.

• Saine accepted Thor's invitation to travel aboard his craft after learning his mentor Luluenman had likely left the Wizard World.

• Saine arrived late at the Howling Stone Demiplane, collected Howling Stone specimens, and found hundreds of thousands of powerful beings gathering before the Assembly.
• Saine estimated that the Alliance Gods already present numbered at least one hundred thousand, leading him to conclude that the Wizard Alliance rivaled or exceeded the Wizard World's strength.

Saine and Thor explored the Howling Stone Demiplane before the Wizard Alliance Assembly, visiting the Titan World’s gathering area and meeting Thor’s old friend, the God of Green Parrot. Saine learned that Thor’s mother and several other powerful Titan Gods would not attend, while the assembly remained less than two hundred years away.

• Thor took Saine west through the Howling Stone Demiplane to visit places he knew and look for old friends.
• Saine observed the plane’s many hidden defenses and wondered whether Dominator-class Beings had already arrived.
• Thor brought Saine to the Titan World’s activity area, where familiar Titan Gods greeted Thor and he introduced Saine to them.
• The God of Green Parrot told Thor that the God Queen would miss the assembly to meet with the Goddess of Dawn, and that the God of Abundance and others had stayed in the Titan World.
• Thor introduced Saine as a learned Level-4 Magician, and the God of Green Parrot leaned against Thor as they spoke.

Thor took Saine to meet Domas, the young Titan God of Forging who had made a World-Class Secret Treasure for Lei Ming Knight. Domas’s achievement had made him famous across the Wizard Alliance, and his forging orders were now booked two thousand years ahead.

• Thor asked the God of Green Parrot where the God of Forging was, and she said Domas was probably in the south.
• Thor led Saine to a trading market, where they found Domas forging before a massive furnace among Titan Gods and Wizard World knights.
• Saine spotted Lei Ming Knight wearing the World-Class Secret Treasure longsword, the Thunder Sword, which Domas had forged for him.
• Domas’s success silenced those who had expected him to fail, though rumors claimed his father, Hephaestus, had forged the sword instead.
• Domas and Hephaestus ignored the rumors, and Domas’s forging orders filled up two thousand years in advance.

Thor interrupted Domas while he was forging a divine artifact, causing a furnace explosion that destroyed Qinglian God's dagger. Domas gave Thor his finished armor and promised to forge Qinglian God a replacement, while the surrounding Wizard World powerhouses watched his work with interest.

• Thor barged into the crowd and slapped Domas on the shoulder to ask about his armor, disrupting Domas's work and triggering a furnace explosion.
• Saine and the nearby gods raised defenses as the blast ruined Qinglian God's half-forged dagger, though Thor, Domas, and the other onlookers survived.
• Domas blamed Thor for the accident, gave him the finished half-body armor, and promised Qinglian God a new dagger.
• Thor happily put on his armor and showed off his strength as Lei Ming and the other Wizard World powerhouses focused on Domas's treasure chest and forging skill.

Saine met Lei Ming, Steel Wall Fist, and other Wizard World knights while visiting Domas, where Thor tried to sell him Titan World goods and forging services. Saine turned down Thor’s offers and asked whether he could obtain a Golden Apple from the Titan World’s Golden Apple Tree.

• Saine greeted Lei Ming and exchanged friendly words with Steel Wall Fist and several Level-4 and Level-5 knights.
• Lei Ming let Saine examine his World-Class Secret Treasure, the Thunder Sword, and introduced Saine to the gathered knights as Luluenman’s disciple.
• Thor finished speaking with Domas and offered Saine divine artifacts, forging services, and Titan World materials for sale.
• Saine told Thor he was an alchemist and a Fire Elementalist who also cultivated light, so many of Thor’s materials were of little use to him.
• Saine asked Thor whether he could obtain a Golden Apple from the Titan World’s Golden Apple Tree.

Saine learned that Thor might be able to obtain a Golden Apple and agreed to buy one for seventy million Magic Coins. Unable to contact his sect for funds, Saine planned to discuss the purchase at the Alliance Assembly, while Thor hinted that his younger brother could help secure the apple.

• Thor told Saine that Golden Apple Orchard had been sealed and that the apples were now treated as strategic material.
• Thor privately asked Saine how much he would pay for Golden Apples, and Saine warned that he had limited funds after buying a Space Fortress.
• Thor offered to sell Saine a Golden Apple for seventy million Magic Coins, and Saine decided to seek the money from the Azure Blaze Sect.
• Saine could not contact Cuilisi and the others through his Crystal Ball, so he agreed to wait until the Alliance Assembly to discuss funding.
• Thor assured Saine he could obtain a Golden Apple if Saine provided the money, hinting that his younger brother would help.

Saine explored the Titan Gods’ trading area with Thor, then left to meet the Ghost Crow King outside the Howling Stone World. The Ghost Crow King arrived shaken by the gathering of powerful beings and followed Saine inside after shrinking its body.

• Saine bought Titan World specialties with Thor’s recommendations until a Ghost Crow Feather alerted him that the Ghost Crow King had arrived.

• Saine greeted the Ghost Crow King, which shrank to a few meters and flew beside him.
• A Bamboo-Jointed Centipede politely asked Saine where to find the East Coast mages, thanked him, and flew toward the world below.

Saine brought the Ghost Crow King to the Wizard Alliance Assembly on Howling Stone World and reunited with Thor, who introduced his younger brother Loki. Elsewhere, Luluenman searched for the missing Tourmaline while attending introductions with Cuilisi.

• Saine and the Ghost Crow King entered Howling Stone World, where detection spells cleared after recognizing their Assembly invitations.
• The Ghost Crow King described its journey to the Assembly and balked when Saine suggested buying a Wizard Civilization Space Fortress.
• Luluenman noticed Tourmaline had disappeared and asked Pinas and Beleka where the girl had gone.
• Saine found Thor among the Titan Gods, and Thor introduced his younger brother Loki, the God of Mischief.
• Loki privately questioned Thor’s claim that Saine had enough assets to buy the Golden Apple.

Saine negotiated with Loki over the Golden Apple while Tourmaline arrived and a formidable woman descended, freezing Thor and Saine in place. The woman recognized something about Saine’s Faceless Mask, leaving his attempt to observe her abilities interrupted.

• Loki demanded one hundred million Magic Coins for the Golden Apple, and Saine questioned his price.
• Tourmaline rushed to Saine, who told her he had ordered a Space Fortress as a surprise.
• The Ghost Crow King recognized Tourmaline and trembled, remembering the powerful being who had once driven him back to his Mother Plane.
• A powerful woman in black armor descended, drawing the Titan Gods’ respect and making Loki fall silent while Thor tried to sneak away.
• The woman asked Tourmaline whether her elder sister had come, then froze Thor in place when she turned toward him.

Saine met Hela at the Wizard Alliance Assembly, where she recognized him as the inheritor of the Faceless Mask and asked about his progress. After Hela left to represent the Titan God Race, Loki confirmed Saine could buy the Golden Apple for seventy million Magic Coins.

• Saine regained control of his body, introduced himself to Hela, and shook her hand, startling Loki when the Faceless Mask appeared.
• Saine told Hela about his trials in the Knight Continent Trial area and the Formless Secret Realm, while Thor and Loki recalled their own connections to those places.
• A Silver Snake stopped the Ghost Crow King from escaping, then returned to Hela's hair when she called it.
• Hela asked Saine about his Holy Tower and Space Fortress, and approved of his Ash Holy Tower.
• Hela left to socialize with other Alliance powers, and Loki told Saine to prepare seventy million Magic Coins for the Golden Apple after the assembly.

Before the Wizard Alliance Assembly, Saine mingled with gods from across the Alliance and reunited with his mentor, Luluenman, at the venue. He asked her to help gather seventy million Magic Coins for a chance to obtain a Golden Apple, then noticed the Void Aphid King and the Sand Worm Queen arriving.

• Saine spent the days before the Assembly meeting Titan Gods, Elf Gods, Orc Gods, and other Alliance gods, though he did not find Cenarius or Eugene.
