Saine and Gemora arrived with the Huya King at the Black Tide Plane, where the Galente Federation faced fierce attacks from Wizard Civilization. After learning of the Huya Legion’s heavy casualties, Saine asked the Gemora sisters to take him with them into battle so he could repay them for saving him.

• Saine and Gemora arrived at the Black Tide Plane, where the Huya King was stationed and the other Huya powerhouses had gone to Ferramo World.
• The Huya King saw the ferocity of Wizard Civilization’s attacks and worried about the Huya people’s future in the war.

• Saine decided against traveling openly to the Wizard Civilization camp and planned to seek contact while serving with the Huya people.
• With Gemora's help, Saine joined the Huya Legion as a servant soldier and let the Galente Federation implant a control disc in his arm.
• Saine used the Faceless Mask to gather information and moved toward the fighting, keeping the implanted disc in place.
• After three days, Saine reached a breach in a frontline fortress, where Green Giants charged the Galente Federation's defenses.
• Saine noticed a dark-green, over-twenty-meter-tall Level 3 giant surrounded by Green Giants and took a mass of Sand Element from his robe.

Saine sent Sha'er across the battlefield carrying an identity-confirming crystal and a message for the Wizard Civilization commander, hoping to secure support and persuade the Huya Clan to defect. The chapter outlined the wider war’s mixed fortunes and identified Clint of Jahana as the Wizard Civilization’s commander on the Black Tide Plane.

• Saine gave Sha'er an elemental crystal containing proof of his identity and a method for contacting the Wizard Civilization, then sent it toward the commander across the battlefield.
• Saine decided that if Sha'er failed to make contact, he would abandon efforts to sway the Huya King and try to break out alone.
• Saine asked Gemora to intensify her attacks on the Wizard Civilization Legion and used soul-control magic to keep the Green Giant leader from suffering fatal injuries.

• Clint, a Level-5 Peak knight from Jahana, was identified as the highest-authority Wizard Civilization commander on the Black Tide Plane.

Saine secured Wizard Civilization’s support for his plan to win over the Huya people after Clint verified his identity. He prepared to negotiate with the Huya King, while also planning to rescue a Level-4 Intelligent Robot from Nuoqi Planet before it could be moved.

• Clint examined the wounded Green Giant leader and heard Sha'er’s account of Saine’s mission, then waited for the Wizard Alliance to verify Saine’s identity.
• The Wizard Alliance confirmed Saine’s identity and ordered Clint and the other commanders to cooperate with him as circumstances allowed and bring him back safely at all costs.
• Clint and Level-5 Magician Simak established contact with Saine through corresponding magic arrays, and Saine argued that winning over the Huya people could transform the war.
• After consulting the other commanders, Clint agreed to support Saine’s plan and gave him broad authority to offer the Huya people favorable terms.
• Saine prepared to lay his proposal before the Huya King and planned to follow the campaign by attacking Nuoqi Planet to rescue a Level-4 Intelligent Robot.

Saine met with the Huya King and offered the Huya people safety, leadership, and a large reward if they joined the Wizard Alliance. The Huya King doubted the promises and proposed a marriage alliance, leaving Saine stunned.

• Gemora helped Saine meet the Huya King, who recognized him as a lifeform from the Wizard World.
• Saine revealed that he was a Level-4 Magician and argued that the Huya people faced ruin by fighting for the Galente Federation.
• Saine promised the Huya King sole authority to represent the Huya people and an alliance reward of at least ten million Magic Coins if they joined the Wizard Alliance.
• The Huya King questioned whether the Wizard Civilization would honor its promises or use the Huya people as cannon fodder.
• The Huya King rejected a contract and proposed forming a marriage alliance, surprising Saine.

The Huya King pressed Saine to marry Gemora as part of an alliance with Wizard Civilization, seeking protection for his people. He then offered Kamora as a second bride, and Saine accepted, leaving Kamora unexpectedly caught up in the agreement.

• The Huya King judged that Gemora loved Saine and proposed their marriage to secure his people's future.
• Saine objected that he already had a wife, while the Huya King clarified that he mainly wanted Gemora recognized as Saine's wife in the Law Contract.
• The Huya King offered Kamora to Saine as well, tying both princesses and the Huya people's future to him.
• Saine considered the advantages of gaining the Huya people as allies and agreed to the Huya King's request, surprising Kamora.

Saine secured the Huya people’s cooperation by agreeing to protect their population and help free them from the Shi'a Empire’s contracts and the Galente Federation’s control. As the Wizard Civilization prepared to act, Saine planned a surprise attack on Nuoqi Planet to rescue the imprisoned Level-4 Intelligent Robot.

• Saine and the Huya King agreed on cooperation, and Saine accepted most of the King’s requests to protect the Huya people and remove their restraints.
• Saine contacted Clint Knight and the other commanders, who approved the agreement and arranged a mechanist legion and a Level-5 mechanist to disable the implanted metal buttons and ship self-destruct devices.
• The Wizard Civilization determined that Du Ferry, a Level-4 Magician, could deface the Huya people’s Law Contract with sufficient materials.
• Clint Knight rebuked Bundy Knight for mocking Saine’s agreement to marry two Huya princesses, then said they would await news from Boshura Planet before acting.
• Saine proposed slowing the Wizard Civilization’s assault on Boshura Planet to lull the Galente Federation into complacency while he prepared a surprise attack on Nuoqi Planet to rescue the imprisoned Level-4 Intelligent Robot.

As preparations continued for the Huya people’s uprising, the Huya King explained to Gemora why he had chosen to defect to the Wizard Alliance and urged her to build on Saine’s goodwill. He then discussed the Huya people’s losses on Ferramo World and summoned Gemora’s younger sister Kamora to speak with her.

• Saine waited anxiously for preparations to finish, while fighting on the Black Tide Plane and Ferramo World eased slightly and newly arrived Level-4 lifeform Nokda felt the pressure of the Wizard Civilization Legion.
• On the eve of the uprising, Gemora asked the Huya King whether he had chosen the Wizard Alliance because of her.
• The Huya King explained that Saine’s presence had already tied the Huya people’s fate to the conflict and said Gemora should rely on Saine’s goodwill after they defected.
• The Huya King told Gemora that Bisuo had been gravely wounded on Ferramo World after the Galente Federation left him exposed, and reminded her that Bisuo was still one of their people.
• The Huya King instructed Gemora to get along with Saine, then asked her to summon Kamora so he could discuss important matters with her.

As Wizard Civilization and the Galente Federation reinforced the Black Tide Plane, Saine prepared Gemora and Yuli for the coming battle. The offensive began with Alliance creatures and slave legions charging the Federation’s defenses, while Vikz admired the Molten Steel Tyrant and the opposing forces prepared to commit their full strength.

• Saine gave Gemora refined Magic Conductors, told her to prioritize her safety, and arranged for Sand Elements and possible Wizard World Legion support to accompany her.
• Yuli insisted on joining Saine, and he agreed after noticing signs that her true body was nearing Level 4, though he planned to keep her in a Space Item if the battlefield became dangerous.
• Wizard Civilization deployed a new Mechanical Legion led by Level-5 Mechanic Vikz, while the Galente Federation continued reinforcing the Black Tide Plane and Hengduan Star Region.
• Alliance creatures and slave legions launched the first attack, with the Level-5 Molten Steel Tyrant enduring concentrated Federation fire as Vikz considered acquiring it for mechanized modification.
• Clint refused to decide whether to transfer the Molten Steel Tyrant to the City of Steel, and reminded Vikz that the battle came first.
• As both sides moved their major forces onto the front line, Vikz declared that it was time to make their move.

Level-5 Peak Mechanic Vikz completed the forbidden spell Heavenly Magnetic Megawave, disrupting the Galente Federation’s forces and enabling the Huya Legion to rebel while Saine attacked their rear. As Clint ordered the Wizard World legions to charge, the battle on the Black Tide Plane reached a white-hot intensity.

• Vikz and nearly sixty thousand mechanics completed Heavenly Magnetic Megawave as the Galente Federation intensified its assault on the Wizard World legions.
• Clint led the Wizard World’s Level-4 and higher fighters against Federation ships and mechs as the conflict escalated across the Hengduan Star Region.
• Heavenly Magnetic Megawave disrupted Federation electronics, grounding drones, shutting down robot troops, and disabling measures intended to control the Huya Legion.

• Clint ordered Bundy to support Saine and the Huya people and commanded the frontline legions to charge as Federation ships and mechs turned to fight them.

Du Ferry dissolved the Law Contract binding the Huya people to the Shi'a Empire, prompting Huya forces on Black Tide Plane and Ferramo World to rebel against the Galente Federation. With Saine holding off the Federation until reinforcements arrived, the Wizard Civilization gained momentum across the Hengduan Star Region, and Vikz helped turn back the enemy’s advancing legions.

• Du Ferry used rare Mystic System materials to dissolve the Law Contract, and the Huya King and three Level-4 Huya people on Black Tide Plane joined the Wizard Civilization.
• The Huya Legion on Ferramo World switched sides, and Bisuo destroyed a Federation flagship with one slash, killing the Major General aboard and throwing nearby forces into disarray.
• The Wizard Civilization launched a general offensive across the Hengduan Star Region as the Huya rebellion and earlier gains on Boshura Planet shifted the balance against the Galente Federation.
• Saine held off Federation firepower until Wizard World powerhouses arrived, including the Level-5 Mechanic Vikz, while wounds appeared across Saine’s Law Body.
• Vikz released activated Mechanical Creatures from a spinning gear to fight the advancing Federation legions, and Saine considered developing similar summoned cannon fodder.

Saine and the Wizard Civilization forces broke the Galente Federation Army’s lines on the Black Tide Plane, while Saine and Vikz brought down a powerful Federation giant mech. Saine left the ongoing battle and ordered his allies to launch a surprise assault on Nuoqi Planet.

• Clint charged through the Galente Federation Fleet formations, helping drive the Federation Army into collapse and retreat as hired Level-4 fighters fled.
• Saine fought a Federation giant mech and was wounded by its Nuclear Cannon while the surrounding fleets attacked him.
• Level-5 Mechanical Master Vikz arrived, and he and Saine joined forces against the giant mech.
• Saine pierced the mech with his flame-wreathed Magic Staff and targeted its left leg, bringing it down.
• Saine declined to claim the mech and told Clint and the others to set off at once for a surprise assault on Nuoqi Planet.

With the battle on the Black Tide Plane nearly decided, Knight Clint prepared to lead an assault on Nuoqi Planet, a key Federation supply hub, to seize its resources and weaken the Federation elsewhere. He gathered powerful allies for the expedition while leaving Magician Simak to finish the fighting on the Black Tide Plane.

• After destroying a Federation warship, Knight Clint accepted Saine's proposal to attack Nuoqi Planet, whose capture could disrupt Federation forces across the Hengduan Star Region.
• Knight Clint left Magician Simak in charge of the remaining battles and cleanup on the Black Tide Plane.
• Knight Clint summoned his two Level-4 brothers and recruited the Molten Steel Tyrant and two other Level-4 Creatures of the Alliance for the assault.
• Mechanic Vikz volunteered to join Knight Clint's expedition rather than collect the giant mecha wreckage.
• The Huya King insisted on joining despite his injuries, and Saine approved his request.
• Knight Clint left the two other Level-4 Creatures of the Alliance behind to preserve enough strength to secure victory on the Black Tide Plane.

Saine and six other Level-4 and Level-5 powerhouses fought through the Galente Federation’s defenses and reached Nuoqi Planet. As the Federation evacuated the resource-rich artificial planet, Master Vikz enveloped it in his domain to disrupt its equipment and prevent its destruction.

• Saine and his group left the Black Tide Plane and fought through the Federation’s automated defenses on their way to Nuoqi Planet.
• Saine relieved the injured Huya King’s pressure and gave him two Recovery Potions.
• Saine and the others reached Nuoqi Planet as Federation forces evacuated important figures, scientists, and some resources.
• Bundy saw the planet’s abundant cargo and Energy Chunks, while Master Vikz warned that the Federation might destroy the artificial planet.
• Master Vikz spread his pale gray domain over Nuoqi Planet, and Saine’s group wiped out the garrison forces that tried to stop him.

Saine followed the Magic Cube’s guidance to a Galente Federation laboratory on Nuoqi Planet, where Li Ba Tian attacked him. Saine discovered a Federation scientist was piloting the robot, freed Li Ba Tian from the cockpit, and watched it regain control of its body.

• After Vikz deployed his domain and the invasion began, Saine followed the Magic Cube’s signal toward a central Federation experimental zone.
• Saine broke through the laboratory’s walls and reached a sealed underground robot-research area.
• Li Ba Tian appeared and attacked Saine, while Saine noticed the robot was slower and less coordinated than before.
• Saine used the Magic Cube and the Faceless Mask to determine that Li Ba Tian was being piloted.
• Saine pierced Li Ba Tian’s chest and removed the Federation scientist from its cockpit, causing the robot to stop.
• Li Ba Tian’s eyes lit up again, and it regained control of its body.

Saine learned that Federation scientist Joseph had developed a way for one person to pilot an Intelligent Robot without suppressing its independent thoughts. He enslaved Joseph and ordered him to build a cockpit for Li Ba Tian, then prepared to test the system with Yuli.

• Saine used Soul Magic to learn that Joseph had discovered how to control Intelligent Robots with a cockpit and rewritten code, using a single pilot.
• Saine decided Joseph was too valuable to abandon and asked him to rebuild Li Ba Tian's cockpit without blocking the robot's independent thoughts.
• Joseph requested materials and assistants, and Saine let him use the base and recruit any Federation scientists who remained.
• Saine told Li Ba Tian that Yuli would try piloting it, and Li Ba Tian agreed.
• Saine released Yuli and sent the Huya King to help the others.

Saine prepared to evacuate the Federation scientists and equipment from Nuoqi Planet, but Federation Support Fleets arrived and attacked the Wizard World forces. He joined the battle with Li Ba Tian and Yuli, while the enemy fleet focused its assault on a heavy-supplies distribution center.

• Yuli piloted Li Ba Tian in an experiment that Saine and Yuli considered unsuccessful, though Joseph saw promise in her ability to increase the robot's Combat Power.
• Saine ordered Joseph and the other controlled Federation scientists to gather usable equipment and prepare to leave.
• Federation Support Fleets arrived at Nuoqi Planet, and Saine flew out to join Clint and the other Wizard World fighters.
• Li Ba Tian asked to fight, and Saine agreed; Yuli then asked to pilot him in battle, and Saine accepted.
• Saine reached the battlefield and saw Federation warships pouring through gaps in Vikz's domain, bombarding the Wizard World Legion and badly damaging Clint's Space Fortress.
• The Federation Fleets attacked a heavy-supplies distribution center west of Saine's experimental area instead of heading toward the scientists or Li Ba Tian.

After the Wizard World forces drove the Galente Federation support fleet from Nuoqi Planet, Knight Clint, Saine, and their allies discovered twenty-seven Star Cores the Federation had tried to seize. The valuable Hearts of the Plane became the victors’ spoils, while the Federation’s retreat from the Hengduan Star Region continued.

• The Galente Federation support fleet destroyed nearly one-third of Nuoqi Planet’s supplies before Vikz prevented it from triggering the planet’s self-destruction, and Wizard World forces drove the fleet away.
• Knight Clint and the others discovered twenty-seven Star Cores in the area that had endured the Federation’s fiercest assault.
• Bundy celebrated the find, while Saine explained that extracting a Heart of the Plane doomed its world and that the Wizard World generally avoided doing so.
• Saine described the Star Cores as exceptionally valuable resources that the Galente Federation used to power Interstellar Fortresses and top-tier warships.
• Clint, Saine, Bundy, and the other conquerors claimed the Star Cores and Nuoqi Planet’s remaining supplies as spoils.

Saine returned to Wizard Civilization’s rear to report his mission and learned that both the Underworld and the Eye Demon Great World had rebelled, inflicting severe losses. Wizard Civilization focused its defenses on the Underworld front while God King Odin vowed to stop the Galente Federation’s advance through the Sanoras Star Region.

• After the Nuoqi Planet campaign, Saine left the spoils collection to others and headed back toward Wizard Civilization with Li Ba Tian.
• Saine traveled through Wizard Civilization’s rear, seeing forces and supplies mobilizing toward the front and learning that the war remained tense.
• Saine heard that the Underworld had rebelled, causing the collapse of Wizard Civilization’s deployment there and the loss of hundreds of millions of Alliance troops.
• Saine learned that the Tyrant of the Evil Eye had led the Eye Demon Great World into rebellion, killing millions of elite Wizard World troops and wounding an Alliance Dominator.
• Wizard Civilization prioritized reinforcing the Underworld front, and God King Odin led Titan legions to Sanoras and pledged to block the Galente Federation’s Vanguard Fleet.

Saine returned to Wizard Civilization amid reports of its counterattacks against the Galente Federation and wondered what larger move its leaders were preparing. In Flowing Cloud World, he reunited with Klopp and learned that the Decepticons, Optimus Prime, and other Intelligent Robots had escaped with help from Wizard World reinforcements.

• Saine received reports of Wizard Civilization's victories, including its breakthrough into the Shi Mozi Star Region, and suspected that news of major battles was being withheld.
• Saine reflected that the Galente Federation and the rebellious Underworld Star Region and Eye Demon Great World had acted early, while Wizard Civilization might be saving its response for a critical moment.
• With approval from the Wizard World higher-ups, Saine traveled to Flowing Cloud World and met Klopp.
• Saine was surprised to find the wounded Decepticons beside Klopp and heard that Wizard World reinforcements had helped the Decepticons, Optimus Prime, and other Intelligent Robots escape the Galente Federation.
