After completing the Great Annihilation Plan, Leo stayed in the fortress for a year to study Wakeda’s samples and uncovered a reason to investigate the giant’s tribe. He sent Wakeda there with Benji, then secretly followed them through the shadows.

• Leo collected tissue samples from Wakeda and decided to extend his fortress assignment by a year to research giants.
• Leo received approval to remain at the fortress and spent nearly a year studying Wakeda and the giant samples.
• Leo offered to send Wakeda back to his tribe with a level-three combat companion, while promising to visit later.
• Leo arranged for Benji to escort Wakeda and kept the other wizards out of sight as they left the fortress.
• Leo used Shadow Walking to secretly follow Wakeda and Benji toward the tribe, despite Yaoyao criticizing his distrust.

Leo discovered that Wakeda’s lightning power might connect him to the hidden World Lord Kampas, and he followed Wakeda to his tribe to investigate. The tribe had survived in the forest, and Leo began searching for clues while Wakeda introduced Benji and shared food with his people.

• Leo concluded that Wakeda’s lightning aura might come from Kampas and hoped the lead could earn him a Wizard Medal.
• Leo and Yaoyao learned that Wakeda’s forest held many giant tribes and that wizards planned to capture the remaining giants soon.
• Wakeda led Benji back to his tribe, while Leo and Yaoyao secretly followed through the shadows.
• Wakeda reunited with his tribesmen, explained that wizards had captured the other adults, and shared food Leo had given him.
• Leo searched the tribe for signs of Kampas, while Yaoyao suggested testing a young giant’s blood; Leo chose to keep investigating first.

Leo’s attempt to recruit Wakeda’s tribe through extravagant promises led the priest to summon Kampas, the God of Giants. Kampas seized Leo, Yaoyao, and Benji and brought them to his lightning-filled demiplane, where he accused Leo of deceiving his children.

• Wakeda’s tribe gathered offerings, and the priest began a ceremony to ask Kampas whether to accept the wizards’ proposal.
• Leo realized Kampas might discover his lies and told Benji to flee with him and Yaoyao.
• Kampas’s pressure knocked Benji into the forest and immobilized all three companions.
• Kampas formed an elemental hand, sealed their powers, and carried them through a spatial rift.
• Leo arrived in Kampas’s lightning-filled demiplane, where Kampas angrily confronted him for deceiving the giants.

Leo and Benji endured the lightning-filled demiplane of Kampas, the God of Giants, and began advancing toward the distant mountains where his voice had come from. As the lightning grew stronger and Benji struggled under attacks tailored to their strength, Leo realized reaching Kampas would consume more of his limited defenses.

• Kampas’s roar injured Leo and Benji, while Yaoyao escaped through the Shadow World.
• Leo activated his First Layer Hunter Bloodline, allowing him to withstand the demiplane’s lightning and absorb some of it.
• Leo warned Benji not to raise an elemental barrier, then led him toward the mountains where Kampas waited.
• Leo calculated that his shadows could absorb the lightning damage for about 150 minutes at its current intensity.
• The lightning attacks grew 10 percent stronger, and Leo noticed they hit Benji harder than they hit him.

Hunter reached the God of Giants’ true body, endured its crushing power, and offered Kampas the head of Diana, Goddess of Darkness, as a gift. Kampas accepted it and asked whether Hunter could fulfill the promise he had made to Wakeda, leaving Hunter to realize that the God of Giants had been watching him all along.

• As Benji reached his limit under the lightning, Hunter sent him back and continued toward the mountain range, where the damage grew far more severe.
• Hunter reached the foot of the mountain and confronted the God of Giants, arguing that Kampas had brought him there because he wanted something from him.
• Kampas stopped the lightning and revealed that his true body was the mountain range; his gaze nearly forced Hunter out of Hunter Form.
• Hunter healed himself and inferred that Kampas wanted a gift, so he presented the head of Diana, Goddess of Darkness.
• Kampas ate Diana’s head and asked Hunter whether he could fulfill the promise he had made to Wakeda.
• Hunter realized Kampas had already been watching him and felt the pressure of the vast gulf between them.

Leo persuaded Kampas, the God of Giants, to consider joining the Wizard Alliance and received a blood token that could protect him and contact Kampas. After returning to the Giant World, Leo reported the offer to the command center, leaving the alliance decision and the prospect of a First-Class Wizard Medal in the Stigmata Wizards’ hands.

• Leo proposed that Kampas join the Wizard Alliance and promised to report Kampas’s intentions to the Stigmata Wizards.
• Kampas agreed to consider an alliance, warned that the giants would fight if negotiations failed, and placed a protective blood token in Leo’s forehead.
• Leo returned to the Giant World with Benji and told Benji to protect Wakeda’s tribe while he went to the command center.
• Leo contacted Edward and reported that Kampas wished to join the Wizard Alliance, presenting the blood token as proof.
• Edward promised to report the news to the Purple-Gold Vine Stigmata Great Wizard and arranged protection for Leo.

Leo was escorted to the starship mothership and met all five Stigmata Wizards, where the God of Giants’ blood let him withstand their presence. After Leo reported his encounter with the God of Giants, the hall fell silent, leaving his fate uncertain.

• Leo gave Edward his coordinates, then emerged from Shadow Walking when the protective force arrived.
• A growing force of wizards and slaves escorted Leo back toward the starship mothership, and Edward told him the Purple-Gold Vine Stigmata Great Wizard wanted to see him.
• Leo was teleported to the mothership’s first level, where he discovered that all five Stigmata Wizards on the expedition were waiting.
• The five Stigmata Wizards’ mental power activated the God of Giants’ blood in Leo, strengthening him enough to look at them directly.
• Leo recounted how Yaoyao captured Wakeda, how the God of Giants took him to a demiplane, and how he persuaded the God of Giants to send him back; the hall fell silent after his report.

Leo delivered the Wizard Alliance’s invitation to the God of Giants, Kampas, after the Stigmata Wizards unanimously agreed to invite the giants to join. Kampas accepted the offer, leaving the giants’ entry into the alliance close at hand.

• The Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard and three other Stigmata Wizards supported inviting the giants into the Wizard Alliance, and the Purple-Gold Vine Stigmata Great Wizard reluctantly agreed.
• The Stigmata Wizards gave Leo a golden invitation to deliver to Kampas and promised him a First-Class Wizard Medal if the giants joined.
• The Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard invited Leo to visit the Undying Body Wizard Academy, while the Purple-Gold Vine Stigmata Great Wizard argued that Leo should study at his academy instead.
• Leo used the gem formed from Kampas’s blood to return to the demiplane and hand Kampas the invitation.
• After reading the invitation, Kampas said he was satisfied with its terms and agreed to join the Wizard Alliance.

The God of Giants, Kampas, activated the power of his blood in Leo, who absorbed the demiplane’s lightning and advanced into a level two Body Refinement Wizard. Leo emerged as an eight-meter Thunderstorm Giant and thanked Kampas, while Yaoyao watched his transformation.

• Kampas promised to stop the giants’ fighting and sign the contract in three days, then struck Leo’s brow to activate the blood he had given him.
• Leo stood motionless as the blood’s power awakened, drawing lightning into his body while Yaoyao kept watch.
• Leo’s Hunter form absorbed lightning from across the demiplane, and Kampas directed the demiplane’s energy toward him to prevent the storm from tearing it apart.
• After absorbing the lightning for half an hour, Leo opened his eyes and activated the second layer of his Body Refinement Wizard bloodline, transforming into an eight-meter Thunderstorm Giant.
• Leo thanked Kampas for helping him advance, while Yaoyao witnessed his immense new power.

Leo returned from Giant World after securing the God of Giants’ promise to end hostilities and join the Wizard Alliance, and his body refinement advanced to level two after he absorbed a drop of the god’s blood. Back on the star mothership, he reported his success and received two Wizard Medals, including a First-Class Medal.

• The God of Giants praised Leo’s aptitude, explained that he would sign the alliance contract in three days, and opened a rift back to Giant World.
• Leo told Yaoyao that the God of Giants’ blood supplied the high-level energy and lightning catalyst he had lacked, and he checked his new level-two attributes.
• Leo returned to the star mothership and informed the five Stigmata Wizards that the giants would cease hostilities and join the Wizard Alliance.
• The Stigmata Wizards awarded Leo two Wizard Medals, including a First-Class Wizard Medal, in recognition of his mission.
• Leo and Yaoyao examined the medals in his room, where Leo discovered the First-Class Medal’s privileges and its annual stipend of 200 energy crystals.

After earning a First-Class Wizard Medal, Leo examined the changes from his advancement to Level Two in body refinement and found that his defenses, shadows, and physical attack power had increased dramatically. He planned to prepare his shadows for the upcoming contract ceremony and considered focusing his elemental path on lightning.

• Leo learned that his First-Class Wizard Medal granted powerful defenses, military command authority, and the ability to delay expedition duties, then hung it above his two Third-Class Wizard Medals.
• Leo assessed his Level Two body-refinement abilities, finding that he had 47 shadows, each able to absorb 24,000 points of damage and appear within 4,800 meters.
• Leo calculated that his physical attack power had reached 8,920 despite his attributes and attack multiplier not being maxed out.
• Leo told Yaoyao that he hoped to advance his elemental side during his two-hundred-year rest period and planned to inscribe Gravity Rune Arrays on all his shadows before the ceremony in three days.
• Leo noticed his lightning-element energy and affinity had increased, and decided that specializing in lightning could suit his wizard paths.

Kaba witnessed the wizard and giant armies gather for the giants’ accession to the Wizard Alliance, but a confrontation between him and Wakeda nearly sparked a battle. Kampas and the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard arrived and greeted each other warmly, leaving the armies stunned as the signing ceremony approached.

• Kaba returned to the starship mothership and found more than twenty million wizards, a vast slave army, and nearly a hundred million giants assembled for the alliance agreement.
• Kaba spotted Benji among the giants and learned that Leo was away on other business.
• Kaba offered Benji the chance to come stand with the wizards, but Wakeda accused him of trying to undermine their friendship, prompting both sides to prepare for a fight.
• Benji intervened and calmed Kaba and Wakeda before their dispute could ignite a wider conflict.
• Yaoyao noticed the confrontation and went to check on Benji while Leo waited aboard the mothership for the signing ceremony.
• Kampas and the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard arrived, exchanged friendly greetings, and surprised the assembled giants and wizards.

Leo attended the ceremony for the giants joining the Wizard Alliance, where the wizards learned he had earned a First-Class Wizard Medal and advanced to level two. After Kampas agreed to sign the contract, Leo reunited with his allies and was welcomed warmly by Wakeda and his tribe.

• The Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard introduced the stigmata wizards and Leo, surprising the crowd when they realized Leo was only a level-two wizard wearing two Third-Class Wizard Medals and a First-Class Wizard Medal.
• Kaba recognized Leo as his former captain and marveled that Leo had earned his medal and advanced a level in less than a month.
• Leo thanked Kampas, and Kampas offered to help him in the future before agreeing to join the Wizard Alliance.
• The Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard began the joining ceremony with the other stigmata wizards.
• Leo flew down to Yaoyao, Benji, and Wakeda, who welcomed him, and Wakeda invited him to visit his tribe after the ceremony.

Leo used his new standing as a First-Class Wizard Medal holder to gather his former allies as the Giant race joined the Wizard Alliance. The alliance immediately declared war on the six remaining evil gods, and Leo was assigned command of a major force against the God of Beasts.

• Leo let the giants believe he had helped save their race, then welcomed Kaba and ordered him to gather their former squad and other wizards.
• The Wizard Will witnessed the Giant race joining the Wizard Alliance, while five Stigmata Wizards guaranteed the alliance.
• The Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard ordered the God of Giants and five Stigmata Wizards to attack the six remaining evil gods along six routes.
• Leo was assigned two million wizards and up to twenty million giants to campaign with Kampas, the God of Giants, against the level-five God of Beasts.

Leo organized the wizard, giant, and slave forces into a coordinated army and led them toward the God of Beasts. The God of Beasts unleashed a vast horde of beasts to stop them, but Leo’s forces advanced through the attacks, leaving the giants burdened with so much prey that Leo had to issue them spatial rings.

• Leo invited Wakeda and his giants to join the campaign against the God of Beasts, and Wakeda gathered tens of thousands of giants under his command.
• Leo reorganized two million wizards into units, then used the God of Giants’ authority to force twenty million unruly giants into the wizard army’s ranks.
• The God of Giants flew toward the God of Beasts’ location, and Leo ordered his army to follow and attack.
• The enraged God of Beasts sent countless beasts into suicidal assaults, but the wizards’ coordinated attacks devastated them as the army advanced.
• The giants collected so many beast corpses that they slowed the march, so Leo distributed wizard rings to let them store their spoils.

Leo studied the wizard army’s precise command system and explained why the God of Giants was letting it clear the beasts before confronting the God of Beasts. The army reached the God of Beasts’ lair and was stalled by a desperate assault, leaving Leo confident that victory was near but still blocked by the beast horde.

• Leo asked Wakeda to listen to Kaba and the other commanders so he could learn how the wizard army operated.
• Leo observed how the command center used scouting and coordinated orders to predict enemy movements and direct attacks with extreme precision.
• Leo told Yaoyao that the God of Giants was using the wizard army to eliminate resistance and make room for the giants’ expansion.
• After a year of advancing, the wizard army approached the God of Beasts’ lair and faced a suicidal assault that halted its progress for half a month.
• The beast corpses piled up so extensively that the giants’ storage rings filled, and the giants stopped collecting the bodies.

Leo oversaw trade between the wizards and giants as the campaign against the God of Beasts reached its end. After the God of Giants killed the God of Beasts, Leo declined to join the remaining battles and set off with Wakeda to visit his tribe.

• Leo reflected on the profitable trade platform he had established between the wizards and giants, while Yaoyao showed off his rings full of goods.
• Kaba reported that the beast army would soon run out of reserves, allowing the wizard army to break through and reach the God of Beasts.
• The God of Beasts cursed Kampas, the God of Giants, as Kampas tore off his arms and swallowed him, ending the divine battle.
• Leo ordered the wizard army to split into smaller units and eliminate the remaining resistance after the God of Giants departed.
• Leo asked Wakeda to visit his tribe, refused to let Kaba and the other wizards accompany him, and flew off on Benji.

Leo visited the Wakeda Tribe hoping to obtain its statue of the God of Giants, but he first won the giants’ trust by giving them supplies and teaching them useful skills. He urged them to relocate near the future interstellar portal, claiming the God of Giants had privately asked him to secure their future, and the chapter ended with the tribe learning they were supposedly the god’s direct descendants.

• Yaoyao guessed that Leo had come to the Wakeda Tribe for its statue of the God of Giants, and Leo’s smile confirmed it.
• Leo gave the tribe a large supply of goods, and the elderly priest accepted them after Leo threatened to leave.
• Leo spent a month living with the giants, teaching them practical skills and wizard script while growing close to the tribe.
• Leo urged Wakeda and the elderly priest to move the tribe to the future interstellar portal site so they could develop into a regional power.
• Leo claimed that the God of Giants, Kampas, had privately instructed him to help the tribe, and the elderly priest wept as Wakeda reacted in disbelief to their supposed divine ancestry.

Leo helped Wakeda’s tribe leave their canyon home and settle near the starship mothership, while secretly stealing the impossibly heavy statue of Kampas and replacing it with a copy. The giants swore enduring friendship to Leo, who left them established beside the future spatial portal.

• The priest ordered the giants to move immediately, and Leo stopped him from making them discard their belongings before offering to help with the statue.
• Leo and the giants failed to move Kampas’s statue, so the tribe left it behind and traveled toward Leo’s chosen new home.
• Leo returned alone, transformed into a Thunderstorm Giant, pulled the statue free, stored it in Shadow Space, and replaced it with an identical statue.
• A month later, Leo brought Wakeda’s tribe to a site near the starship mothership and helped them establish a new home with wizard technology.
• The priest and the giants vowed enduring friendship to Leo, who accepted their promise.

With the wizards due to return to the Wizard World, Leo fed Yaoyao a valuable piece of planetary core and pressed him about its unknown uses. Leo then visited Wakeda and the rapidly growing Wakeda Tribe to say goodbye, leaving their future support uncertain but arranging limited help from wizards who would remain.

• The wizards received an announcement that the spatial passage would open in one month, while Leo examined the planetary core he had bought with his military merit.
• Leo gave the planetary core to Yaoyao, who swallowed it and said it had other important uses but refused to explain them yet.
• Yaoyao urged Leo to visit Wakeda’s tribe before they left, and Leo found that the Wakeda Tribe had grown from fewer than three thousand giants to four hundred thousand.
• Leo told Wakeda and the priest that the wizards were leaving and that those who stayed behind would provide the tribe with limited assistance.
• Wakeda offered Leo the tribe’s collected resources as thanks and led him to the warehouse to inspect them.

After profiting from trade in the Giant World, Leo returned to Green Cottage to claim the answer Charlotte had promised him. The information revealed that Earth’s humans had been gathered on one planet and deliberately isolated from news of the wizards, leaving Leo furious.

• Leo learned that Wakeda knowingly accepted exploitative trade because he had no better alternative, and Leo left the Giant World with more than ten thousand energy crystals.
• Leo went to Green Cottage and demanded that Charlotte honor his promise to answer his question after Leo obtained a First-Class Wizard Medal.
• Charlotte led Leo into a protected chamber and gave him a crystal ball containing information about Earth’s humans.
• Leo discovered that Green Cottage had gathered Earth’s humans on a single planet and cut them off from information about wizards.
• Leo’s aura filled the chamber as he accused Green Cottage of concealing the humans, while Charlotte feared Leo might attack him.

Leo learned that Green Cottage had erased the memories of surviving Earth humans and placed them on a planet to be studied, then asked Charlotte to find people from his past. Charlotte agreed to try, while warning that the powerful being behind the arrangement was beyond their reach.

• Charlotte told Leo that Earth's survivors had their memories erased and were living on a planet where wizards observed their civilization without interference.
• Leo realized that Green Cottage's supplies came from a surviving population of Earth humans and concluded that humanity itself was being studied.
• Leo asked to visit the planet, but Charlotte said he lacked authority and that the people Leo sought had likely died after more than two hundred years.
• Leo asked whether Green Cottage belonged to the being behind the project, then requested intelligence about that being; Charlotte denied having any and warned him not to pursue the matter.
• Leo gave Charlotte a list of names and information from his past, asking him to look for them during a future visit, and Charlotte agreed to do his best.
• Leo proposed a large trade with Green Cottage, but Charlotte reminded him that his First-Class Wizard Medal's fifty-percent discount replaced the discounts from his other medals.

Leo spent his wealth on knowledge, discovered that the God of Giants statue was registered to the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard, and returned to find the Gulu Beasts thriving. He left the statue’s mystery unresolved while greeting the stronger fourth-generation younglings at his tower.

• Charlotte urged Leo to trade at the Purple Golden Flower Shop because his Wizard Medal discount made his purchases unprofitable for Charlotte’s company, and Leo spent four hours buying supplies there.
• Leo exchanged his supplies and savings for over fifty thousand energy crystals, then spent 49,900 crystals on knowledge from the Knowledge Trading Platform.
• Leo learned that the God of Giants statue was an exclusive decryption material registered by the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard, and decided to wait before contacting him.
• Benji carried Leo toward the wizard tower, but Yaoyao arrived first and chased the seven newborn fourth-generation Gulu Beasts until Leo stopped him.
• Leo found that ten Gulu Beasts had advanced to level two—four from the third generation, four from the second, and two from the first—and saw that the fourth-generation younglings were stronger than earlier generations had been at birth.

After returning to the Wizard World, Leo planned his two-hundred-year rest around advancing on the elemental side, developing the Gulu Beasts, finding Earth’s survivors, and investigating a mysterious statue. He began considering whether his forty-seven shadows could combine into a huge gravity rune array, leaving that idea as his next possibility to test.

• Leo learned that Alice had not returned to the ice palace, but he decided not to contact her, and Yaoyao took his crystal ball to play with.
• Leo visited Gru’s grave, then rested outside his wizard tower with the Gulu Beasts before planning his next two hundred years.
• Leo planned to strengthen his body and bloodline and develop lightning spells to prepare for advancing to Level Two on the elemental side.
• Leo considered the Gulu Beasts’ future evolution, Charlotte’s search for Earth’s people and their descendants, and asking the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard about the statue in a hundred years.
• Leo calculated that his forty-seven shadows might form a vast gravity rune array and wondered whether it could surpass his current gravity multiplier limit.

Leo developed a plan to use his mutated shadows as the lines and nodes of a super-large Gravity Rune Array, then spent a month building it. He tested the completed array on Benji and the other Gulu Beasts, demonstrating that anyone within its range was hit by its gravitational force.

• Leo realized his shadows could form a super-large Gravity Rune Array and began preparing the blood needed to activate it.
• Leo spent fifteen days drawing blood and studying crystal balls, then built a full-scale Gravity Rune Array in the wizard tower to test its dimensions.
• Leo had thirty blood-soaked shadows transform into the array’s lines and nodes, then spent a month carefully tracing the rune pattern.
• Leo chose Benji and the other Gulu Beasts as test subjects and activated the array, knocking them down with gravitational pressure.
• Benji recognized that the array’s thousand-meter range left creatures inside it no chance to dodge the gravitational attack.
