Chapter 25 Namor and The Old Priest enjoy some philosophy and fantasy time on the trip from Gadavida to Anamata. When they make port at the homeland, things are already different. The news of Barbaralba and Namor spreads over both islands quickly with the help of telephone lines. Namor and the crew have a little press conference, first on Eden, a little fun; then they plan on their visit to the new bridge and Bridgetown.
Chapter 26 takes us over King Namor Bridge and along Canal 36 to Salt Lake 36. There the Old King and Lexus await the returning heroes and guests. The Snow Queen and the Old King are reunited after 2,000 years. Free trade is declared and signed by the High Priest of Gadavida and King Namor. They are now alliances for the war efforts that have mostly been on hold for the two years it took Barbaralba and Namor to travel up and down two Barbancorian rivers. They have 36 new metal ships loaded for war.
Chapter 27 has Barbaralba's navy back to Barbancor. A short visit in Gadavida City to bring the news of the new alliance. Then with 36 Gadavidian ships and those of Castle City Island, off to attack and subdue Sun Temple. It was a short battle and after some time in the city of Havatara, the navy attacked Lacuna. Wiped out their navy then took a small peninsula to set up camp.

Preparations for the march to the Seat of God are completed and with the information and maps from the runners, the scouts, the army is prepared to leave with 36 wagons. A long trek up the trail to the holy city.
Chapter 29 is the long trek to the Seat of God. Camp is set up and the first move is to bury a small aggress for the dark mountain city. After settling in and watching over the city, Artemis, an ancient woman from the Earth born folk, appears at the Seat of God and makes a discovery that decides the course of the last major war effort.
"What does she discover."
She has been carving stone for 2,000 years on the Art History Island she shares with a friend.
"That does not answer the question."
Chapter 30 has the soldiers of both armies return from the last battle. The end of resistance to the move toward the space age. It will take some time. Lexus and Sallandrah have brought books for the Lacuna Library. Zauqir has made wine trade negotiations. The Seat of God is finished.
