The second fragment of the pistol had just been given to Daniste, and now the final piece had come into Luvia's hands. Her purple eyes fixed tightly on the fragment in her hand, but after only a moment, she discarded it:
"Completely normal. Emilia used the Power of Time to guide Destiny. Otherwise, even if you killed that snake, you would still have ended up with that dangerous pistol and needed to contain it carefully."
Leisha then asked:
"So if we discover objects like these 'impossibilities' in the future, can we just have Emilia cast a spell to destroy them?"
"No. Emilia herself said tonight that she had cast beyond her limits. It was as though all the luck tonight had gathered around her. She most likely won't be able to do this again in the future. As for other people with temporal talents, I don't think they can reverse the Infinite Snake's time. I'm even worried they might give that snake the Power of Time.
"Completely destroying an 'impossibility' is equivalent to completely dissolving the Calamity of Fate. That must be extremely difficult."
Shade spoke, and Luvia nodded lightly. Seeing that Galina also wanted to speak, she immediately knew what the Duchess wanted to ask:
"The Association does indeed have records on the Infinite Snake. When I had just joined the Association, I studied at headquarters and heard of this monster. But before today, the Association believed it was a strange evil creature born only when Destiny itself went wrong.
"Just as a Steam Engine can malfunction, pipes can leak, and a pocket watch can stop, problems with Destiny itself are one manifestation of Fate is impermanent. The Association never imagined this was actually a form taken by calamity."
"Then how did you deal with it before?"
The Duchess
