Synopsis

The chapter sees Yuria openly challenging the World Tree and its rigid customs, choosing to side with Prince Davy and forming a new alliance based on freedom and knowledge. This shift in power stems from the mistreatment of Mew, a young elf who was ostracized for befriending humans. It's revealed that Mew was injured during the conflict, which caused Yuria some guilt. The protagonist also learns of and conceals the existence of multiple 'Spirit King Orbs' within his subspace, realizing he has effectively declared war against the World Tree by challenging them so openly.
