News of Rein's capture by the Nether Sea Goddess has reached his allies, throwing the wizard school into a state of panic as political enemies seize the opportunity to stall their advancement. While Rein and Prince Menia remain imprisoned, the Isodre School has launched a bold legal attack, accusing the school of technological theft. Simultaneously, the Snyder and Bavarian families face intense pressure from rival nobles to abandon their support for Rein. As threats against their interests and fiefs mount, Rein's friends are forced to choose between loyalty to a missing comrade and the survival of their own houses.

Deep within the abyss of the Summer Sea.

A grand temple and dozens of surrounding structures sit encased within a massive hemispherical barrier that pulses with a dark, fluorescent glow.

This hidden location serves as the primary base for the Sea God Sect.

"O Great Nether Sea Goddess, look down upon us and hear the pleas of your loyal servants..."

Within the expansive prayer hall.

Standing before the altar dedicated to the statue of the Nether Sea Goddess, Pope Egil—having only recently returned to the headquarters—led a gathering of high-level evil sorcerers in a display of intense devotion. By utilizing the Sect’s main prayer booth and the collective power of faith from the assembly, it was far simpler to establish a link with their goddess than through solitary Cultivation or prayer.

As expected, a manifestation of the Nether Sea Goddess Hela arrived.

Above the altar, a translucent image of a girl dressed in black robes materialized out of thin air. Her form was captivating and her features stunning, yet her gaze remained icy and detached.

"Egil, your questions are already known to me," Hela, the Nether Sea Goddess, stated before Egil could even begin his inquiry.

"That loathsome mortal Rein survives. Not only that, but he has rescued the descendant of Dragan."

"What!" Egil gasped, unable to hide his astonishment at the revelation.

It was clear that such information caught him completely off guard.

Meanwhile, the surrounding high-ranking evil sorcerers of the Sea God Sect traded looks of utter bewilderment and doubt.

They could accept that Rein might still be breathing, but the news that Menia, known as the 'Red Queen,' had also survived was shocking.

"Then... my Great and Wise Lord, what are your instructions for us...?" Egil inquired with a respectful bow.

The black-robed girl’s striking eyes suddenly shimmered, as if she were performing a high-level divination spell. She then let out a cold snort and said, "No wonder they eluded your search; they have found a clever hiding spot."

"They are currently situated within the subterranean magma lake beneath Reef Island. Even though Dragan's descendant was saved, their power is severely depleted. This is the ultimate chance. Egil, you must go there yourself!"

"I shall obey your command, my Lord!" Egil answered immediately, though a slight frown touched his downward-facing features.

He dared not defy the orders of his Goddess, yet the path forward was fraught with complications.

"My Lord, the Federation has currently stationed heavy reinforcements on Reef Island, including at least three epic-level experts. A frontal assault might result in our failure if we must face them all."

"Indeed, but the Federation is not your only concern. I have foreseen three dragon knights from the Dragan Empire traveling toward Reef Island; they should arrive within the day." The eyes of the Nether Sea Goddess Hela glowed intensely, as if she were peering through the veil of time once more.

"This is..." Even Pope Egil looked troubled by this news. Had the Goddess's projection not been present, the high-ranking evil sorcerers behind him surely would have erupted into panicked whispers.

After all, facing three dragon knights alongside three epic-level Federation experts created a force that far exceeded their own capabilities.

"To what extent has Glasers’ power recovered?"

"Reporting to my Lord, after the consumption of the blood feast following the last conflict, approximately sixty percent of its strength has returned."

"Lead me to Glasers."

"As you command, my Lord!"

Shortly after, the group followed the shimmering image of the black-robed girl to a massive underwater arena on the outskirts of the temple. There, the 'Smoldering Electric Eel' Glasers—a terrifying prehistoric sea beast stretching over a hundred meters—lay coiled in a peaceful slumber.

However, the violet markings across its back were vibrating with a light far more brilliant than before. Even those without Cultivation could feel the massive reserves of electrical Qi humming within its frame.

Judging by its distended middle, the beast had recently fed.

"Reporting to my Lord, Glasers is currently resting after consuming three gray whales."

Sensing the divine aura of the Nether Sea Goddess's projection, Glasers slowly opened its massive eyes. It lowered its head toward her and let out a low, resonant hum, signaling both its submission and its delight.

"Glasers, I shall bestow my divine power upon you to accelerate your recovery. In exchange, you must assist Egil in destroying a wretched blasphemer."

As Hela spoke these sharp words, she pointed a slender, pale finger. A bolt of black light shot from her hand, sinking deep into the hide of the 'Smoldering Electric Eel' Glasers.

The creature reacted with an expression of pure ecstasy, and the purple lines on its spine flared with a blinding intensity.

"Egil, provide more blood meals for Glasers. Within twelve hours, its power will reach ninety percent. Furthermore, Glasers can tunnel through the seafloor rock to lead you straight into the magma lake," Hela declared with a calm tone.

Her image began to fade after the spell was cast. It was evident that Hela had no intention of further involvement; as a mere projection, she had already pushed her influence to the limit.

However, with Glasers restored to ninety percent—effectively the peak of the epic level—and the support of the Sea God Sect disciples, they possessed more than enough power to wipe out the blasphemer.

In Hela’s mind, Rein would have been dealt with long ago if he hadn't benefited from that 'Dragon Blood Sacrifice' by the Dragan descendant.

Now, that insolent Dragan offspring was critically wounded and unable to use the 'Dragon Blood Sacrifice' or any other forbidden techniques. Glasers would undoubtedly crush them with ease.
