"Now I understand, the new Magic Network has only one mission, which is to gather the residual Magic Power in this world and channel it back to the Magic Origin. And those five scrolls, they are preventing the Magic Origin from transmitting any energy to this world."

"It's highly likely that after the Magic God foresaw his own death, he knew that even without the Magic Origin, his corpse and the remnants of those Great Arcanists would be enough to maintain the world's magic level at a very high degree. So, he used the Magic Network—a simple and easy-to-use system—to deceive all the spellcasters. Any mage now using magic is actually drawing energy from the entire Anriel Continent and sending it back to the Magic Origin. This process is completely the reverse of what arcane should originally affect."

Lynch pointed to the two metal spheres in front of him and explained, "Originally, the power of the Magic Origin would return to the Magic Network, replenishing the consumed parts. But now it is blocked by the five scrolls. As a result, the total magic power of the Anriel world is getting lower and lower, and someday it will disappear."

"If that's the case, doesn't that mean in the end, there won't be any mages left?" Zilvra said, "Wait! Even in the end, even giant dragons, or any magic beasts won't be able to use magic power anymore? All the magical items will fail, and those splendid civilizations will all vanish?"

"Oh my God!" Soka covered her small mouth with both hands and exclaimed, "What about me? Won't I be able to fly anymore?"

"No, little one, but you almost won't be able to use any Divine Arts either," Lynch said, "Although only arcane will disappear, it will also affect all who use Divine Arts. Priests, druids will lose their power too. But that's not the most terrifying thing."

"I think those five scrolls are the key." Eryies observed the two metal spheres and then said, "The power returning from the Magic Origin seems not just blocked but absorbed by those five scrolls. Dear master, if this is the magic used by the entire world, what exactly is such a large amount of energy doing?"

"Not what it is doing, but who is using it," Lynch said, "Considering everything previously mentioned, there's only one person who can use such immense power, and that's the Magic God himself. He certainly wouldn't be content to be defeated by the mages he nurtured and is planning true revenge. When the world's magic power has almost completely disappeared and no longer poses a threat to him, he will use that absorbed power to resurrect."

"But can't you use the power of the Magic Origin?" Zilvra thought for a moment and softly said, "You could also make other mages stop using the Magic Network, wouldn't that solve everything?"

"I'm afraid only those who have the scrolls can use the power of the Magic Origin. Moreover, those who have the scrolls have the greatest influence on the reverse flow of magic," Lynch said, "I once taught the method of using this power to a dwarf, but until now, no dwarf has been able to use the Magic Origin. I started doubting back then."

"Dear master, so what." Eryies said, "As long as you're alive, you can continue to improve. Although I don't know how you managed to make the Hell Lords bow to you, believe me, the gods of the Multiverse and the lords of Hell are not much different. You can..."

"That's impossible, Desire Demon!" Lynch interrupted Eryiesfer, and then said, "If the Magic God truly resurrects, he surely..."

The mage's action froze in mid-air as if he suddenly thought of something he had never noticed. Soka hurriedly placed her small hand on Lynch's forehead and then shook her head, saying, "He's not sick."

"Surely what, tell me!" Zilvra shook Lynch, who had suddenly paused.

"This is why the serpent didn't forcibly destroy this place; he must have understood this reasoning too." Lynch suddenly stood up, as if all the strength had returned to his body. "Everyone, follow me, let's leave this place!"

"Where are we going now? What's your plan?" Zilvra took the torch from Lynch's hand and then said, "Are you just going to run around without any protection?"

Lynch stopped, slowly turned his head to look at Zilvra. He slowly said, "I think if it were initially the serpent wanting to put a bounty on my head, after seeing the Magic God's relics, he would cancel those bounties."
