A New Future in Our Hands
The Magus naturally couldn't say much, and could only swallow their saliva in silence. The anger that had been building up in their hearts had probably already been shattered by the storm stirred up by the platinum wings. Even ordinary people could easily feel the difference in life level that was almost dimensional.
Without needing to measure strength, the very nature of the matter is enough to extinguish any desire to resist.
Its essence is a kind of "Mari", and it is also a symbol of "law".
Just as the four archangels represent the four elements of water, fire, earth, and wind in the world, they symbolize the purer "Dharma".
This is a symbolic power, similar to authority, which is itself a manifestation of something in this world.
Unlike those high-level Phantasmal Species, such as dragons or elves, they have no flesh and blood. They are manifestations of magic and rules, making them an absolutely unique and advanced life form.
And these low-level Magus would feel absolute pressure the moment they faced him.
At this moment, the Magus' minds were trembling wildly.
They couldn't understand whether the pressure was causing them to hallucinate, or whether Rovey had cast some kind of amazing illusion to deceive everyone.
However, at this moment, only one thing is certain: all the Magus are unable to speak.
Before him, they had no right to speak; if Aiwass did not wish, they could not even raise their heads.
And that is indeed the case.
If Rovey hadn't said he'd spare their lives, just to keep them in line, Aiwass's wings would have swept away all the Magus present, along with the entire land, into ashes in one fell swoop, though that wouldn't have benefited Rovey.
These guys are rotten, but at least they still have a restraining effect. If they were to actually die, they would cause a lot of trouble.
Time is already tight enough. If I kill them and then have to unify the world's demonic path, that would be too troublesome.
"Can you all speak properly now?"
Rovey suddenly spoke.
At this moment, no one else present could speak except him. Aiwass also withdrew his power and stood quietly behind Rovey.
These words struck like a bolt from the blue, jolting the Magus, who were still reeling from the shock, back to reality. The sheer terror of the magic and the profound impact on their worldviews caused many Magus to nearly faint, while others gasped for breath.
"So, what are your thoughts after witnessing a true miracle?"
"..."
No one dared to reply, and no one dared to take up the conversation.
Aiwass was still there, and the absolute sense of oppression he exuded was simply too strong.
Even though they tried their best to avoid looking directly at the miracle, the platinum-gold light still captivated the hearts of all Magus. No one who yearns for the mysterious can ignore the true god.
The platinum storm swept through their worldview and shattered their original pride, making them truly realize what it felt like to have a god above Magus during the Age of Age of Gods.
"Very good."
Having taken in everyone's performance, Rovey turned to look at Barthomeloi and Trambellio, who were standing at the front. They were now the leaders of all the Magus present.
"Then, Lord Barthomeloi, Lord Trambellio, what about the previous bet? Can Aiwass be considered a miracle?"
"No need for further explanation... you have naturally won."
After a long silence, Lord Trambellio spoke slowly, his tone filled with unparalleled complexity.
"To make the traces of gods reappear in the world by human power... This is indeed too fantastical no matter how you look at it."
He looked at Aiwass and then at Rovey, and said quietly.
At this moment, his original anger had long since turned into helplessness and admiration, and his eyes were even filled with surprise and excitement.
Because Magus spend their entire lives trying to find the Mari, don't they?
Now that the Angel of Mari, representing "Law," has truly appeared, his feelings as Magus are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. The only thing that troubles him is...
The person who performed the miracle was not himself.
He then looked at Rovey again and said with utmost seriousness.
"You are no human being. It is a law that humans cannot replicate divine miracles. Your talent has already surpassed that of humans and reached the realm of gods..."
"You should never have been born in this era; this era can no longer keep up with you."
Finally, he gave Rovey this evaluation from the bottom of his heart.
"There are no 'what ifs' in life, and everything that exists has its reason. Since I have come to this era, it naturally means that I have my mission."
"Is the outcome already decided?"
After answering Trambellio, Rovey looked at Barthomeloi.
"You've won in every sense of the word."
Barthomeloi's answer was equally candid.
At this point, the so-called bet is meaningless.
The fate of the entire Clock Tower rests on the words of the person standing before it.
Putting aside whether the Second Magic User will intervene, even if a battle does occur...
Is the Jewel Magician guaranteed to defeat the true angel before him?
Would he risk his life against the angels for Clock Tower that is dispensable?
The answer requires no thought.
So she could only force herself to continue, saying, "The winner takes all. Now you can take control of all your spoils, but... no matter what the other departments choose, the Department of Law will not back down on what you have done."
"It is an undeniable honor and achievement for you to bring the gods back to the world, but the duty of the Department of Law is still to protect the Clock Tower. Even if all other departments fall silent, the Department of Law will fulfill its duty in the last moment before it is destroyed."
Even knowing that the Clock Tower was about to be destroyed, Barthomeloi, as the acting dean, still chose to take on this responsibility.
"He's got guts, no wonder he's Barthomeloi."
Rovey couldn't help but admire the other party's answer.
The other Magus looked at Barthomeloi as if he were crazy, and the other members of the Department of Law who heard that they were going to go up and fight Aiwass were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.
"Interesting."
Aiwass also gave his own evaluation.
"However, you are lucky. The Holy Son said that I should be responsible for dealing with the effects of his arrival, so I will not kill you."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Seeing that things were mostly resolved, Rovey removed the uncomfortable Crown of Thorns from his head and spoke to Aiwass behind him.
"As you wish."
As soon as he finished speaking, the platinum wings behind Aiwass suddenly rose and continued to expand, completely covering the surrounding land like a platinum canopy.
Under the horrified gazes of the Magus, he plunged the light wings straight into the Leyline and began to adjust them in his own way to accelerate their recovery.
This reduces the recovery time required from hundreds of years to just two minutes.
"Alright, everyone who needs to leave, leave now. Remember to put the main gate back on for me. You can take a look at the Leyline issue when you get back."
Rovey clapped his hands, his voice deliberately loud, waking all the Lord who were just waking up from their reverie.
Aiwass, who was behind him, also had to leave temporarily to deal with the Leyline issue and adjust his physical data.
Only the Lord remained in the courtyard, looking at each other blankly, and Rovey, who was touching the thorny scar on his head.
"So that's how it is..."
Seeing Aiwass leave, Trambellio took a deep breath, as if he understood everything.
He was the one who destroyed the Leyline, and he was also the one who restored Leyline.
Thus, even those families who were intimidated by Aiwass's power but still harbored resentment lost their reason to oppose Rovey.
This is especially true for the Department of Law.
They couldn't possibly continue to charge at him and fight him to the death just because Rovey had damaged the Leyline, even after they repaired them.
That would be so stupid.
Moreover, the appearance of angels and the emergence of "law" will also represent a change in the Clock Tower, or even the world order.
Now, the Clock Tower is no longer just occupied by a certain irrelevant Second Magic User; there is now an "angel" and a "god." Anyone with a sound mind knows that this is a new god of True Magic, the strongest being in Western Europe magic.
The so-called Twenty-Seven Dead Apostle Ancestors and the Church can never be compared with the true God.
What does Rovey need now?
He's already been called the "Holy Son" by Aiwass, what more could he want?
He gets whatever he wants!
After today, the appearance of Aiwass will bring about a major upheaval in the Magecraft World, a change unseen in a century.
The Church will definitely make a big move, Wandering Sea will become even more frantic, after all, the God they have been longing for has really appeared in the world.
The Clock Tower will truly become the focal point of magic in this world.
And what triggered this change...
It was just that he had misjudged this Festival Rank Magus.
"Don't talk nonsense. It was Aiwass who destroyed the Leyline. He was too greedy, so he ate up the London Leyline to the point of starvation. It has absolutely nothing to do with me. I am still a good Clock Tower Magus."
Rovey said casually, directly shifting the blame for destroying the Leyline onto Aiwass. Anyway, He wouldn't care. As for the truth, does it still matter now?
His goal this time is to unify the magical forces of the entire world and fight the future squarely.
Since we are all human beings, we should honestly stop fighting amongst ourselves and work together to fight against extinction.
The internal strife in the past was caused by the lack of a leader, but now... if there isn't one yet, then I am one now!
"That's all for now. If there's nothing else, you can all go home. You can send the spoils to my house tomorrow."
"By the way, the ranking assessment is too troublesome. My workshop was almost completely demolished just now, and there's no time to rebuild it. From now on, let Aiwass be the one to assess my magical achievements. I hope to see a notice in a week to disband it."
Having said what he wanted to say, without giving these guys any chance to ask any questions, Rovey turned his back and walked towards his home, not forgetting to wave to the Magus behind him.
Only the Lord remained in the courtyard, still staring at each other in bewilderment.
Finally, they all focused their gazes on Kenneth, who was trying to sneak away.
Kenneth: "..."
Chapter 158 A New Future in Our Hands
Sometimes, the reversal of the situation really happens in an instant.
The appearance of a certain person or event can bring about earth-shattering changes.
So much so that the events of the day were so surreal that the still-shaken Lord remained in a daze on their way back.
Because the driver of the car was also Magus who witnessed the miracle, their car, due to mental instability and poor condition, caused a series of collisions on the highway on their way back, even causing a major traffic jam on the streets of suburban London.
When London police arrived at the scene, they were stunned by the horrific sight of dozens of luxury cars collided together.
Because so many important figures were involved in a car accident together, they even suspected it was a premeditated terrorist attack and immediately launched a rescue operation.
But what's even more horrifying is that these cars were all empty, without even a trace of blood.
Clearly, none of the Magus on the bus were in the mood to pay attention to the police's thoughts. They all started walking back in their own way to immediately check the status of the London Ley Line and to spread the word about this event that could cause a major upheaval in the Magecraft World.
As for the result...
We'll have to wait until later to find out.
Time flies like an arrow; another week has passed in the blink of an eye.
It is also seven days, belonging to the sacred number "seven".
This will be the best time for Rovey, as, according to Aiwass, he has already incorporated the concept of the Holy Son into his body, so he can use some of the miracles that exist in the original texts even without preparation.
However, the scars on his body, which are also known as Command Spells, cannot be removed. Perhaps one day he will actually hear the apocalypse.
Rovey had a similar feeling about this.
At least recently, he felt as if he had acquired the legendary ability to communicate with animals, like King Solomon. Lately, birds in the sky and beasts in the forest would appear from all sorts of places when he strolled around the yard.
Moreover, when he felt hungry, the animals actually brought him olive leaves and fruit, and then lay down on them, clearly wanting to offer themselves to him.
