Chapter 410: Power Seizure Operation
A waterfront estate in Stockholm.
The International Confederation of Wizards was holding an emergency meeting here.

"You are as foolish as ostriches burying their heads in the sand!"
"Terrifying magical disasters have appeared everywhere, with an intensity and frequency unlike anything seen before!"
"And it is all because of Murphy's actions. He has damaged the Statute of Secrecy, and we have all heard the truth: magic will become uncontrollable as the Statute of Secrecy is broken!"
"Rather than dealing with those magical disasters one by one, we should be discussing how to stop Murphy!"
