The Clock Tower's Offering
"..."
The room fell silent upon hearing this.
The existence of parallel worlds is indeed an unproven mystery from a scientific perspective, but from a magical perspective, the existence of parallel worlds has never been a secret worth hiding.
After all, the Second Magic is parallel world interference.
Weber's mention of parallel universes is an illustration of this...
"Is that Rovey from a parallel universe?"
Yes, that makes sense.
Compared to the possibility of someone coming back from the dead, the Kenneth conspiracy theory is indeed more plausible.
Only--
"Even if that Rovey might exist from a parallel world, do you really think one person could possess more information than the entire Spirit Tomb or even a planet?"
Someone suddenly raised this question, and the others immediately responded.
"Impossible. Ordinary humans could never achieve such a feat, unless it's a master with extremely special abilities that transcends mortals—like that legendary True Magic. However, based on El-Melloi II's words and that examiner's words, we can still deduce some things."
"Infer what?"
"That Chaldea employee seems to be a higher-dimensional being, a terrifying being akin to a deity or Outer God, and also an counterpart from a parallel world of Rovey. He crossed over from this parallel world to engage in actions to protect humanity..."
As he spoke, the man's voice grew softer and softer, indicating that he could no longer continue speaking.
"This is utterly absurd!"
The Zoology Department Lord slammed his fist on the table, dismissing such words as utter nonsense.
The Magus who said that didn't refute it, since he himself didn't believe it.
"If he's Rovey from a parallel universe, how could he possibly be some high-dimensional deity? Did he become a god? Or did he achieve new True Magic?"
"--"
Upon hearing this, a glint of inspiration flashed in Weber's eyes, and he said in a low voice, "The possibility is not zero."
"What? Even you, El-Melloi II, agree with such a ridiculous speculation?"
"No, I'm just saying the possibility isn't zero, not that I necessarily think so."
Weber shook his head, then asked seriously, "Since we can't come up with any clues, let's change the subject... Will Chaldea continue to send people there?"
"..."
The room fell silent immediately after he said that.
Just then, the Mystic Eyes Eye Inspector, who had just been forced to sleep a few meters away from them, suddenly shouted.
Despite being blind, he still wore an extremely eerie smile.
"Go! Why wouldn't you go? You absolutely must go!"
He shouted out three affirmative answers.
"Go quickly! Step into His holy realm, hear His miracles, and touch the great Mari! He is the One, He is the Whole, He is the Root! Ahhhhhh!!"
"Be quiet."
The surrounding medical staff injected him with several more strong sedatives.
"..."
At this moment, everyone present was speechless.
The Zoology Department Lord glanced at the Mystic Eyes Investigator, who had completely gone mad, and felt a chill run down his spine.
Parallel world.
Humans ascended to godhood.
This is all such unbelievable information.
His reason kept telling him that it was all a lie, just an accident, but could such a distorted expression really be done by a human being?
Thinking about this made him feel somewhat agitated, and in the end, he chose to leave, leaving behind a message before he departed.
"The Department of Law intends to punish them to uphold the Clock Tower's authority. Fine, go ahead then. I will absolutely not allow my students or clansmen to set foot in that hellhole!!"
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
"Our Lord is busy with a concert and will not be present, so we will not participate. Farewell."
The Department of Botany's agent also didn't want to interfere in this strange matter, not to mention that their Lord was someone who didn't care about such things, so they logged off at lightning speed and left decisively.
After being shocked by various realities, many people left one after another.
The remaining factions looked at each other, each with their own differing opinions.
Although Weber genuinely wanted to leave, the moment he heard Kenneth's name, his mind and attention were completely captivated. Even if it was likely a lie and posed a significant danger, this was a rare opportunity to learn about Professor Kenneth, and he didn't want to miss it.
Having witnessed this bizarre scene and reviewed the medical team's detailed records, the Magus who knew the inside story were naturally filled with dread, and felt a chill run down their spines at the already remote and inconspicuous Chaldea.
However, amidst great risks, opportunities often exist, and nearly half of the Magus in each faction became excited instead.
A higher-dimensional superior?
Magus who can make gods?
Parallel world crossing technology?
These words themselves possess an irresistible magic, making it hard to look away.
It would be foolish to believe the testimony of a madman.
However, this madman himself became strong evidence that the intelligence was true and reliable!
If all of this is true, then on this tiny planet, they actually have the opportunity to witness evidence of the existence of higher-dimensional worlds that only exist in theory! Or perhaps, the possibility of transcending parallel worlds and witnessing the possibility of humanity becoming gods.
As we all know, an era in which gods walk is called the Age of Gods. If a god of True Magic were to truly emerge, wouldn't this era mysteriously return? Wouldn't the miracles they yearn for arrive instantly?!
Such a precious case.
Such a coveted value.
If everything is true, then the secrets and value of Chaldea could set back the world of Magecraft by thousands of years, bringing them back to a period of mystical revelry. This could be considered the greatest discovery in the history of the Clock Tower!
Putting aside how much profit they can gain, just participating in it will greatly enhance the value of their faction and themselves, and give them more influence. For them, it's all beneficial.
The gains they make from Chaldea might lead to unimaginable progress in their research! After all, it's a completely unknown new world!
Completely new knowledge.
Everything brand new!
If they're lucky, they might make a major discovery, perhaps even unlocking the door to the Mari!
This moment instantly captivated most of the Magus present, and even the noble families who originally supported the Department of Law in punishing Chaldea for profiting from the situation began to have their own ulterior motives.
The favor and orders from the Department of Law are no longer important.
Now all they have in their hearts is desire; they are too eager to improve themselves.
His eyes were fixed solely on Chaldea, the sacred site nestled in a remote, polar region!
They have decided to go there in search of the Mari at all costs.
As for what they will do next, and what will they do with Chaldea and that mortal saint?
Need I say more?
Of course it is--
We desperately want to improve!
They should cultivate good relations with Chaldea, sending El-Melloi II of the Department of Modern Magecraft as their vanguard to convey their goodwill and establish a good relationship with that high-dimensional deity. If they could gain that being's favor and be granted some knowledge of the Mari, these hopeless the Root might actually have a chance to touch upon the Mari.
Everyone thinks this way.
After all, if it's possible that some great being saved humanity, doesn't that mean that being had good intentions towards humanity?!
This intelligence is fantastic!
With a benevolent deity at heart, and classmates from a parallel world acting as a bridge, the cost and difficulty of communicating with the god would undoubtedly be greatly reduced. Therefore, as long as it can be confirmed that the deity is indeed a higher-dimensional being or a god of True Magic from a parallel world, they can then take action.
To follow him at all costs, to offer one's loyalty, and to pursue the great Mari with the fervor of a believer!
As for Weber's thoughts?
That's not important.
Because whether he wanted it or not, the Chaldea mission was his for the taking, given his connections. Even if he refused, the Clock Tower's decision was unchangeable, and he had no choice but to go.
The original plan to send people to seize Chaldea under a high-sounding pretext must be immediately scrapped, and all traces must be completely erased! Anyone who knows anything about it must have their memory wiped or be silenced!
They must never let that deity know their true, sinister intentions!!
After all, everyone knows that the Clock Tower isn't exactly a noble organization; the various factions are practically fighting tooth and nail over it. But those who have reached this position are certainly not fools, especially for Magus like them who have always yearned for mystery.
They knew of the existence of gods, and even more so of the power of those mysterious superiors.
In every mythology, the only way humans treat gods is to grovel and please them in order to receive blessings.
Don't be fooled by how ruthless everyone seems in normal times; that's just a bunch of weaklings fighting each other. Now they're facing someone much stronger.
Do you really want them to draw their swords against the stronger ones?
Impossible, unless someone is truly tired of living.
They are the most afraid of death.
As such thoughts permeated the Clock Tower, some people even approached Weber, hoping he could represent the Clock Tower.
Regardless of your connection with that particular person, the mere fact that a Lord has stepped forward is the greatest courtesy the Clock Tower can offer, demonstrating comprehensive consideration.
Weber didn't believe a word these guys said.
They always spoke with the greater good in mind, saying only the nicest things, but they never considered his safety. If something were to happen to him, there would be one more lunatic among them.
Thinking of this, Weber sighed deeply.
However, while some people were thinking about how to uncover the truth and gain favor, the agent of the Department of Law, who was also the teacher who had the Gold-Grade Mystic Eyes Prosecutor this time, did not have such thoughts.
High-dimensional saint, god of True Magic... that's utter nonsense!!
In his view, everything was just an illusion created by Chaldea, a trap set for them to make them feel that Chaldea was unfathomable.
These delusional idiots are all suffering from hysteria.
He had already seen Chaldea; it was just an institution under the Department of Department of Astromancy. Although its slogan was impressive, it was essentially just an observatory.
It was full of third-rate Magus and mediocre people, so he would never believe such an absurd theory.
Not to mention, his carefully cultivated successor, his student, has now been completely ruined because of Chaldea.
This debt cannot be forgiven.
So, while each faction was scheming and figuring out how to confirm whether the other party was truly great and sacred, and how they should curry favor with them, the situation became increasingly complex.
He silently crushed the telepathic communication garment.
"Hishiri Adashino, Bazett, you two immediately take your men and seize control of all those in charge of Chaldea, then bring them back to the Clock Tower for trial by the Department of Law."
"Just wait, Chaldea, your end is nigh!"
Chapter 324 The Clock Tower's Gift
Having learned much important information from the confinement chamber, the increasingly astute Lord and masters within the Clock Tower immediately began their operation.
After leaving the confinement room, they immediately notified the leaders of their respective factions, and then returned to their headquarters to discuss the next steps and confirm the current situation with their partners and colleagues.
This is especially true between different factions.
It is located in a secluded corner of the Clock Tower.
So what are your thoughts on the current situation?
From the head of the table, a middle-aged man's voice slowly drifted out.
The answer to his question was quickly found below.
"Overall, we are more than 50% certain that the whole story is true."
In the meeting room of the Democratic Faction, the high-ranking members of the Democratic Faction were gathered, listening quietly to the recorded report with extremely serious expressions.
