Saine learned that Arthur had rallied Neptune Royal Guard and defecting Sea Planet troops on the Black Bat Civilization front, while Saine prepared to support the war and developed powerful Inert Crystal bombs. The chapter ended with news that Gilbert and others had discovered civilization ruins deep beneath Blue Star.

• Kalazo told Saine that Arthur had taken two hundred thousand Neptune Royal Guard to the Black Bat Civilization front and recruited a Level-4 Sea Planet commander and his remnant troops.
• Saine recognized Arthur’s restraint toward Sea Planet soldiers and suggested preparing to support the Black Bat Civilization, though he waited for orders from his grandmaster.

• Gilbert and others discovered civilization ruins in Blue Star’s deep sea near the planet’s core, surprising Saine.

Saine investigated a relic discovered near Blue Star’s core and learned that it contained evidence of an ancient civilization, possibly a Top-Level Technology Civilization. Gilbert and the other Magicians planned to report the discovery to Wizard Civilization for further analysis.

• Saine concluded that the relic must predate Blue Star’s civilization and flew to the deep-sea site where Gilbert and the others were investigating.

Saine learned that Gilbert and the others had found an extraordinarily powerful crystal in an ancient relic and later heard that the relic belonged to the technological Ayoulan Butterfly Civilization. The explorers believed Blue Star's lifeforms descended from pets kept by the ancient civilization, while Wizard Civilization continued its preparations around Blue Star.

• Saine questioned Gilbert about the relic, and Gilbert said they had found no other significant artifacts and that the crystal in Saine's hand was the only one of its kind.
