Paul Asked for Help

Thor cooperated with the Academy of Practice as they examined his body and consciousness entity. For some reason, it felt like they were tailoring a suit for his wedding.

At Ophelia's command, every Tier 3 Wizard from the Academy of Practice and the Academy of Knowledge had been summoned to study how to make Thor stronger.

They didn't know why Ophelia had arranged this, but they seemed to understand, on some level, that fortune and misfortune were intertwined. None of them envied Thor his treatment.

After all, even a prisoner got a meat dish before being led to the gallows.

Thor spent his days at the Academy of Practice, cooperating with tests of his physical abilities and having a plan for improvement tailored to him. At night, he returned to the two-story house he was temporarily renting.

He returned to the house mainly to discuss the White Porcelain Cat with Nathan.

"Cat's Gratitude" had now spread widely through the lower levels of Sky City. Though Nathan had several other Consciousness Entities helping him, he was starting to lose control of the situation.

Fortunately, Thor hadn't expected Nathan to keep things stable for long. Now that Thor needed to spread the Water God's influence among high-ranking Wizards, Nathan alone certainly wouldn't be enough. So Thor began returning at night to take charge.

As for Ophelia, Thor had already figured things out.

She had deliberately postponed the experiment connecting to Phantom Color World until once a month because she was currently attempting to advance using the method left behind by the Water God. That left her with limited energy to devote to Thor.

But she still wasn't willing to give up on Phantom Color World, so she wouldn't let Thor leave until her attempt succeeded and she could establish a stable connection
