The Arrival of the End of the World!

The Halkeginia Continent had been thoroughly thrown into chaos by Biba Amatori alone.

This "Zero Magic World" had not seen a world war on such a scale for thousands of years.

That was evident from the fact that after nearly six thousand years of development, both magic and technology remained so backward, and even the population had failed to grow substantially.

After all, war was the catalyst for civilization's progress.

According to Hugh's research, there were three main reasons for this.

The first was the uniformity of faith.

As mentioned before, aside from the Elf Race, every kingdom on the continent worshipped Brimir, the "Founder."

Under the reinforcement and maintenance of the Romalia Empire, this faith had long since become deeply ingrained in the hearts of the people.

They even held the authority and qualifications to bestow royal power.

The second was the rigid class structure of magic.

It seemed that only those with a certain blood relation to Brimir, the "Founder"—namely, the nobility—could wield the power of magic. This left commoners without the ability to oppose the nobles.

Perhaps someone had tried in the past.

That was why firearms such as the "Flintlock" and "breech-loading cannon" now existed.

Yet clearly, they had not continued to develop, remaining at this somewhat useful but still far inferior level compared to magic.

Why?

Because there had also been intelligent people among the nobles throughout the generations!

The final point was that among the five kingdoms currently on the continent, the ancestors of three royal families were sons of Brimir, the "Founder," while Romalia's first Pope had been Brimir's disciple.

In other words, only the Germania Kingdom had arisen later.

Of course.

There were actually many duchies and marquisates on the continent as well, but their territories were too small and their national
