"There was, but I wouldn't use it casually. It would throw fate into chaos." Before Siegfried could react to Kadoc's warning, Moriarty spoke first.
"Fate." Hearing the word from Moriarty, Shen Fei could not help muttering inwardly.
"Fate?" Kadoc said it outright.
"Fate and calculation are one and the same. Although Laplace's Demon was disproven by quantum mechanics, fate can still be determined through calculation," Moriarty said.
"What an outdated notion," Kadoc retorted.
"Isn't the world of Magicians even more outdated?" Moriarty shot back without yielding.
"When you put it that way, I have no rebuttal. So, are you saying that everything happening now is within your calculations?" Kadoc asked gravely.
"Of course." Moriarty nodded with a confident expression.
"I've also experienced the thrill of wielding power in the palm of my hand. So I'll give you a warning: it leads only to ruin." Kadoc had experienced the exhilaration of controlling power during the First Lostbelt. Naturally, he had lost in the end.
"Thank you for the advice." Faced with Kadoc's warning, Moriarty merely shrugged confidently before turning and leaving. He had only come to confirm Zhang Jiao's hidden presence. Now that he had done so, there was no reason for him to stay.
"The power of fate? That really is possible, but that would be troublesome. Should I call Scathach over? She should have some means of breaking the power of fate."
Watching Moriarty's departing back, Shen Fei fell into thought. Moriarty's earlier mention of fate, along with Laplace's Demon, gave him a rough idea of which Divine Spirit had been fused into Moriarty's Saint Graph: a god of fate.
Laplace's Demon was essentially determinism—the idea that every fate was predetermined. Thus, if humanity acquired sufficient data along with powerful enough computational and analytical capabilities, it might be possible
