• Geese brings Badigadi and the Human-God’s forces to the battlefield, expecting a direct confrontation with Rudeus. The North God Third and former Sword God are absent, suggesting they were intercepted before arriving.
• Rudeus’s forces include Paul, Ruijerd, Ghislaine, and two Superd warriors, while his wives support him remotely through linked magic traps. Orsted remains with them to protect the rear and their children.
• The current Water God, Isolte Cruel, attacks first, demanding that Rudeus surrender Aisha for learning techniques associated with her former master, Reida. Rudeus disrupts her senses with magic, allowing Paul and Ghislaine to drive her away from the main battlefield.
• The Ogre God engages Ruijerd and the Superd warriors, while Badigadi—wearing the nearly indestructible Fighting God Armor—focuses on Rudeus.
• Rudeus uses terrain manipulation, fog, swamps, earthen barriers, gravity traps, and long-range magic to slow Badigadi. However, Badigadi’s armor allows him to withstand or rapidly recover from nearly every attack.
• Geese secretly guides Badigadi through magical communication, allowing him to locate Rudeus even in the fog. Rudeus realizes Geese is the tactical coordinator of the enemy forces.
• Badigadi explains that he serves the Human-God to repay him for helping Badigadi and reviving Kishirika. He challenges Rudeus to a duel and threatens to kill both Rudeus and his daughter, but Rudeus accepts only verbally and continues fleeing.
• Rudeus repeatedly lures Badigadi into gravity traps powered by Sylphie, Roxy, and Eris, then bombards him with ice, lightning, and earth magic. The attacks begin to exhaust Badigadi, whose armor consumes mana and relies on his stamina for regeneration.
• Geese intervenes with smoke bombs that temporarily disrupt Rudeus’s mana. Badigadi breaks free sooner than expected and nearly kills Rudeus, but Ruijerd rescues him by kicking him out of the attack’s path.
• Ruijerd reveals that the Ogre God was deceived into believing Rudeus planned to attack his homeland and withdrew after Ruijerd vouched for Rudeus’s character. The Superd warriors then went to help Paul and Ghislaine.

• Paul insists on joining the battle to personally confront Geese and fights alongside Ghislaine against Isolte. Their previous experience together allows them to coordinate effectively.
• Ghislaine supports Paul despite his comical claim to be the “captain,” showing their trust and combat compatibility.
• Ruijerd protects Rudeus at a critical moment and successfully prevents the Ogre God from continuing the fight through his reputation and credibility.
• Isolte attacks out of loyalty to Reida and anger over Aisha’s use of her master’s techniques, but she is quickly neutralized by Rudeus’s sensory magic and the combined assault of Paul and Ghislaine.
• Rudeus’s wives—Sylphie, Roxy, and Eris—actively support him despite remaining away from the front lines. Their magical cooperation is essential to the gravity traps.

Significant Themes

• Strategy versus overwhelming power: Rudeus cannot defeat Badigadi directly, so he relies on preparation, terrain, traps, and endurance.

• Teamwork and family support: Rudeus’s survival depends on coordinated efforts among his family and allies, with each person contributing from a different position.
