"So that's what 'falling' meant. That made perfect sense."
Sherlock Holmes's words made Shen Fei understand why, after returning to the bridge, the Nemo Sailor responsible for observation had kept talking about falling. From his perspective, it should have been rising instead. At first, he thought the sailor had been so frightened that he was babbling nonsense. Now, it seemed Shen Fei simply had not understood.
The ship's monitoring system was the Spiritron Computing Device Trismegistus II. Naturally, it would not report anything incorrectly. It could only be said that Shen Fei had yet to fully grasp some of the concepts of the Moon World.
"What do we do now?" Director Fatty immediately asked.
"It is space itself on our side that is falling in that direction. Even if we escape this airspace, it will be meaningless. Once the plug is removed, everything on the surface will fall into that hole. It is a literal pitfall—a hole capable of making the world itself fall inside. This truly was unexpected."
"I see. So this was the truth behind the collapse."
Sherlock Holmes's words immediately made Shen Fei understand what the collapse was. Once again, Cernunnos had taken the blame. Chaldea had always believed he caused the collapse, but in truth, he had suppressed it. The so-called collapse was the hole created by the Abyss Worm, capable of swallowing everything on the planet. It was practically a miniature black hole.
"According to Oberon's plan, Morgan could have been dealt with even if Chaldea had never appeared. That was why Chaldea detected the collapse."
With Morgan's strength, no one in this Lostbelt could have defeated her, Oberon included. But she had Baobhan Sith as a fatal weakness.
"Since no one else is in a hurry, there's no need for me to act either."
