In the age of Universal Awakening on the Azure Sphere, a myriad of races and gods coexist. 
Devils, dark gods, and monsters descend upon the mortal realm, only to be met by the Awakened.
Howard, during his Awakening Ritual, discovers dual talents— F-rank Mana Recovery, and the supreme talent: Supreme Synthesis. 
He keeps a low profile, hiding as a 'common magus.'
Through countless acts of synthesis, he forges supreme artifacts, supreme skills, and supreme classes! 
Fireball synthesis... Ding! Synthesis successful, attaining D-rank skill— Fire Serpent! 
Fire Serpent synthesis... Ding! Synthesis successful, attaining B-rank skill— Fire Python! 
Fire Python synthesis... Ding! Synthesis successful, attaining S-rank skill— Dragonfire!
When devils invade and dark gods descend, they are left slack-jawed by the Azure Sphere before them. 
"No, this is a trap... a trap disguised as a mere cupcake!"

The Governor of Venice, feeling threatened, warned the soldiers to hold their tongues, which led them to fall silent.

Howard then summoned the Governor of Milan, who had also been on the high ground, to verify this account.

The Governor of Milan, a commercial governor, was generally not expected to speak ill of another commercial governor in front of the nobility.

This was an industry norm or, more accurately, an unspoken understanding.

However, the Governor of Milan had previously waged war against the Governor of Venice, emerging victorious, which had reduced their relationship to a freezing point.

Thus, considering the already strained relationship with the Governor of Venice, the Governor of Milan saw little reason to hold back.

The mutual disdain was evident as both parties voiced the truth.

"We, the governors of the commercial republics, prioritize business over military affairs," said the Governor of Milan.
