Chapter 57: The Fall of the Goddess of Magic!
Time passed in the blink of an eye, three days went by.
On this day, Soren finally collected enough information and secretly began implementing his plan against the God of the Hunt—Mara.
However!
On this day, the entire world experienced a slight change.
This change was so clear that anyone with spellcasting abilities felt it.
Suddenly.
Everyone temporarily disconnected from the Magic Network. Low-level wizards were even completely unable to cast spells. Although this disconnection lasted only a few seconds, the effects were quite significant. Almost all wizards sensed it, and Gloria and the Fallen Witch seemingly teleported to Soren’s side in an instant. The faces of the two Legendary Witches were slightly pale, and their expressions showed a hint of panic—an unusual occurrence for Legendary Spellcasters.
The same scene unfolded around the world.
As a part-time wizard, Soren naturally had the same sensation, but as a deity, he perceived more. In that brief moment, not only was the connection to the Magic Network severed, but even the belief network, which served deities at a higher level of the Magic Network, was temporarily cut off. Some force interfered with the operation of the Magic Network, and it slowly restored itself afterward.
“Did you feel that?”
Gloria said, her face slightly pale, murmuring, “The connection to the Magic Network just suddenly dropped, and all spell slots became ineffective.”
Soren nodded silently.
His expression was exceptionally grave as he slowly said, “The Goddess of Magic has also fallen.”
Calculating the time.
Since the moment he left Amber City with Vivian, so much time had passed. The energy storm finally began to affect those powerful deities.
In that fleeting moment, everyone was disconnected from the Magic Network. Undoubtedly, the Goddess of Magic must have fallen too!
The energy storm greatly disrupted the Magic Network, and the Goddess of Magic was one of the deities most affected by it. As a deity with Strong Divine Power, she should have been the first to fall passively. Unlike the Spider Queen—Rose who had descended voluntarily, the Goddess of Magic fell due to fear of leaving her Divine Kingdom. The previous Goddess of Magic had ultimately perished because she fell from her Divine Kingdom. Deities are nearly immortal within their realms, but once they leave, they may d*e.
“Sigh!”
Soren lightly sighed, ultimately deciding to share some insights. He slowly said, “All along, I’ve felt a terrible crisis approaching.”
“Especially when I entered the realm of deities, the feeling that this catastrophic disaster is imminent became even more evident.”
“A terrifying energy storm has erupted in the Multiverse.”
“This force burst forth from the Sea of Chaos, sweeping directly through all realms, with the greatest disruption to deities. This is why we’ve seen the emergence of other deities lately. In fact, they appear not out of choice, but entirely due to this terrifying energy storm causing them to fall.”
“I’ve been worried this situation would get worse.”
“Who would have thought that today, even the Goddess of Magic cannot escape! If anything happens to her, the Magic Network may collapse, leading to magical chaos in many places, so you all should prepare yourselves mentally in advance.”
“Arcane magic doesn’t necessarily rely on the Magic Network to cast spells.”
“Perhaps you should start thinking about how to cast spells without the Magic Network.”
The two Legendary Witches stood still.
Gloria wore a thoughtful expression, while the Fallen Witch gazed at Soren with bright eyes. She had always believed Soren knew something, and it seemed today’s events confirmed everything was true.
The Saint’s Cataclysm had finally arrived.
From the moment the Goddess of Magic fell to the mortal realm, the Saint’s Cataclysm was on the verge of eruption. The fall of the Goddess of Magic was just the beginning, indicating that the energy storm erupting from the Sea of Chaos had started to affect those ancient deities with Strong Divine Power. There was still time between the fall and the demise of the Goddess of Magic, the Saint’s Cataclysm had not yet fully erupted. Only when the Goddess of Magic finally perished, and even the belief networks of deities began to collapse, would the truly dreadful disaster come.
The two Legendary Witches remained silent.
For a moment, Soren was slightly dazed, realizing how much time had passed. He could still vividly remember what had happened while he was in Amber City.
Back then, he had constantly thought about when the Goddess of Magic would fall.
But!
When the Goddess of Magic truly fell, his mood became exceptionally heavy, as he couldn’t yet determine if everything he had been building would withstand the Saint’s Cataclysm.
This was an era of disaster for deities as well!
Although Soren had mastered great power, he still lacked sufficient confidence in this matter.
……
The City of Wizards.
This immensely powerful city, standing in the Southern Plain, was thrown into chaos. Although no force from any material plane could shake it, in that brief moment, panic surfaced in the hearts of all spellcasters. Almost immediately, many Legendary Archmages of the Wizard Council consciously transported themselves to the central hall for discussions in the tower. Each aged Archmage sat down solemnly, and those present said nothing, but a heavy atmosphere enveloped the place.
Panic began to spread.
In that moment, the Wizard Alliance, powerful and boasting a vast Golem Legion, rich resources, and over a dozen Legendary Spellcasters within, suddenly seemed as fragile as an eggshell.
The same scene occurred at the Northern Tower.
The ruler of the Northern Witch Council, the powerful Eye of the North, instantly transported to the observatory, then appeared in the conference hall with a slightly pale and grave expression, summoning the other witches.
The Goddess of Magic has fallen to the mortal realm!
As Legendary Domain spellcasters, they felt this connection more profoundly.
The Magic Network was still operational.
Wizards could still utilize spell slots to cast spells, but on this day, many spellcasters from the Legendary Domains began to dig through their collections for ancient books related to the Arcane Age, quietly searching for information.
They foresaw certain events.
……
No one knew where the Goddess of Magic was.
Because she was also known as the Mysterious Lady, controlling the domains of secrets, mysticism, and mystery.
At least when the Saint’s Cataclysm commenced, no one, not even deities with Strong Divine Power, could foresee her position. The only certainty was that this powerful goddess, who controlled the Magic Network, had fallen to the mortal realm.
