Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes-Chapter 322 - 97 Butterfly Effect
Chapter 322: Chapter 97 Butterfly Effect
The excavated High Elf document, the "Spiral Tower Book," describes the Themis Statue as follows:
’The mountain-like statue was built of Oriha Steel, this wondrous illusion metal that glistens with a dazzling blue-gold luster in the sunlight.’
’As it ascended into the sky at a speed not fitting its size, the colossal sound of thunder tore through the heavens. Huge magic fluctuations spread out, making even the brightest midday in Seya pale in comparison!’
In the early stages of the Ancient Golden Age, the High Elves once used it in conjunction with the Floating City to contend with Ancient Giant Dragons, Titans, and other Legendary creatures that once roamed the Continent.
Such a Level of Super Weapon naturally couldn’t be activated by just anyone; it required a very strict authentication of authority.
This included two things, ’Key’ and ’Bloodline’.
In a past life, since it was never chosen by anyone, eventually, that scepter ended up in the hands of a lucky Child of Destiny.
Moreover, he wasn’t even a student of the Mysterious Academy, but a freshman from the Mechanical School named Rein.
This is a very common name in the Empire, just like Jack and George and other names popular among commoners. If you called it out on the Empire streets, several people might turn to look at you.
The process of Rein obtaining the scepter was also quite dramatic:
Originally, he accompanied the object of his unrequited love to borrow from the Mysterious Great Library’s Collection, but due to inadvertently asking a naive question, he faced questioning and ridicule from other students, doubting whether he could even understand the Magic Circuits.
In Pamir, this question was tantamount to questioning whether he knew how to read.
In front of his crush, Rein impulsively retorted ’What’s so great about that, if it were me decoding it, it wouldn’t even take three months!’ ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
So, having made a boastful statement he couldn’t back down from, Rein had no choice but to spend his own credits to borrow the scepter.
What followed in the plot needs little explanation; like all heroic sagas, through a series of fortuitous events and the help of an old grandfather in a ring, he stumbled upon the function of the scepter by accident.
Thus, he embarked on his journey, gathering allies in a series of adventures, defeating villains, and eventually successfully unlocking the giant statue sleeping at the bottom of the deep sea. The whole process is a classic within classics of heroic biographies.
The fact that the scepter needed charging was also discovered by him inadvertently.
When he was at a Low Rank and being chased by enemies, Rein blindly fled into the Terraman Basin, a notorious danger zone within the Empire, filled everywhere with Elemental turbulence at least equivalent to Seventh Rank Magic Power.
By utilizing the intense Elemental turbulence in the basin, Rein managed to elude his pursuers, but he himself was trapped in the basin, surrounded by several groups of Eighth Rank Elemental turbulence.
At a critical moment, the scepter, by a stroke of luck, was activated when struck by a thunderbolt.
The result was an inexplicable activation of its magic absorption ability, emptying the surrounding groups of massive chaotic Element turbulence, lifting the basin’s lockdown, and directly completing its charging.
After carefully inspecting the special Secret Patterns on the scepter, Anvis had to admit he couldn’t replicate that modifying thunderbolt.
He could only honestly connect it to the Magic System in his private laboratory for charging.
No choice, if he didn’t have the adventures, then he would have to solve it with money.
Just not sure whether his behavior of taking away the scepter ahead of time will bring about any other butterfly effects.

Yiter Federation, Loran Kingdom.
The Prophet Grey Mist was a bit puzzled lately; the Child of Destiny he had been paying close attention to had suddenly, and without any signs, undergone a major change in his destiny line.
And what puzzled him the most was that the destiny line of that Child of Destiny showed no signs of being tampered with by humans.
It should be known, if a Prophet first glimpses the future of the Child of Destiny and then chooses to prematurely seize the Child’s serendipity, they must also bear the backlash from the Net of Destiny.
Depending on the significance of the serendipity, the intensity of the fate backlash will also vary.
Such direct interference that greatly changes the destiny line of the Child of Destiny could, at the very least, result in severe injury, or even a permanent fall from their current state is possible.
However, whatever the case, such interference will leave very obvious traces within the Net of Destiny.
But this time, the destiny line of that Child of Destiny did not retain any traces, as if the change was truly caused by the Net of Destiny itself.
He couldn’t help feeling utterly perplexed by this.
He had been occupied with producing Mechanical constructs, addressing the assaults of dark creatures, arranging for the control of the Meteorite Ruins, and waging a remote battle with Stargazer Brents in alliance with the Prophet Alliance.
As Grey Mist had been quite busy lately, he hadn’t even attended the meeting at the Door of the Pupil.
It was not until the Beast Tide completely receded and the war between both sides came to a halt that his schedule finally relaxed a bit.
It is somewhat unbelievable to say, although he and several other Eighth Rank Prophets formed an alliance, in the end, they still narrowly lost to Brents.
When the Beast Tide ended, the final assembly ratio of the two types of constructs stood at eleven to ten, with the White Knights winning by a very slim margin.
Although he also received quite a bit of destiny feedback, Grey Mist was still annoyed.
At this moment, a crystal ball at the corner of the desk suddenly lit up, an invitation to the Door of the Pupil meeting.
After some thought, Grey Mist eventually touched it.
Suddenly, the environment around him began to change.
In the dim rock hall, figures in black robes had already appeared at their designated places around the long table.
"Today, I have summoned you all here because there is a special message that needs to be disclosed to everyone,"
After everyone arrived, the leader at the head of the table, wearing a dark gold mask, looked around and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"This year, the grand contest at Pamir Academy of the Gloria Empire will abandon the original venue and will instead be held in the Meteorite Ruins."
"There is no need for doubt about the reasons; you all only need to know the outcome."
He slowly raised his hand, signaling everyone to remain calm, then the leader spoke evenly.
"And what I want to tell you all is related to that ruin—an interesting fact—Grey Mist, if you would please."
Saying so, the leader turned towards the projection of Grey Mist, seated at the left head of the table, and nodded.
"In fact, according to my observations, after that ruin was thoroughly explored, there was no special change in the Continent Destiny Net."
With the leader’s signal, Grey Mist, as if snapping back from a distraction, nodded to everyone.
"Following the previous direction of destiny, that ruin was at the core of the second wave of destiny’s surge.
If the secrets it conceals are discovered, it could shift the power balance toward a certain force, just like when the Magic Council unearthed the Mechanical City."
"Even if there is nothing in that half of the ruin and all the important things are in the other half under the sea, after being completely explored, the Net of Destiny should also exhibit corresponding changes."
"But as of just now, there has been no change of a significant magnitude in the Net of Destiny. This signifies one thing, that there is still an issue with that ruin, and crucially, the most key issue has yet to be uncovered."
