At the first meeting, Ron issued the institutional framework for the Source Arts Society.

Ron is the sole head of the company, and the twelve of them will be the heads of the various branches. Each branch head will be dispersed and will be responsible for developing their own members. If a branch head finds it troublesome to develop members and become a branch head, they can choose a replacement to meet with the head of the company.

At that time, Ron will once again test the new branch manager candidate.

With a system comes rewards and punishments. The rewards are various advanced source techniques. Most source techniques are gradually made public, but some powerful source techniques have been left behind by Ron. These left-behind techniques can become rewards.

The penalties are determined by Ron himself. For example, if a branch manager is not proactive enough in developing members or fails to meet the task requirements, Ron usually punishes them with a fine in gold coins. Money can solve the problem, so this is actually considered lenient.

If the branch managers go too far, Ron will give them private training to show them what hellish training is like. One-third of the strictness of Instructor Will will be enough. Of course, Ron won't take them to some forbidden zone like his instructor would, where their fate is unknown; that would be too much.

In addition to rewards and punishments, there were various details of the club rules. After explaining everything, Ron distributed the advanced version of the Source Technique manual. This was the second volume of Source Technique after the first volume, and there were also the middle volume and the first volume of Source Technique.

After finishing the document and saying everything that needed to be said, Ron thought for a moment and decided to give one last piece of advice: "Tomorrow, if you're worried about your families, go back first, be careful, and come back as soon as possible."

"..."

Not everyone is rational; some of the subordinates didn't make proper arrangements for their families before coming here, but it's not too late for them to go back now. Coincidentally, tomorrow is the starting point of the incident, and the witches' attention has been drawn to it, so it won't be a big deal if the subordinates do anything out of line outside.

After giving his final advice, Ron ignored his men's subsequent conversation and went back to his room to make more important preparations.

Tomorrow will be a good time.

The twelve wanted to ask Ron more questions about what would happen tomorrow, but in the blink of an eye, Ron had disappeared.

Deep within the old courtyard, in a private room.

That night, Ron set up the Source Pattern Array. The liquid metal silver is suitable for setting up arrays in the Source World. The material of the Source World is fundamentally different from that of the Gus World. All Source objects carry the aura of the Source World.

Strictly speaking, Ron could have used soil to create the source array, since the soil for the source of magic is not ordinary soil; relatively speaking, liquid metallic silver would have been better.

Silver is generally much less valuable than mithril in the world of Gus, but it's still silver, and silver coins are money too. Ron really spends money like water. This won't do. I'll have to find another way to make money later.

The night passed, and the next day arrived.

This morning.

They're here, they're here.

Periodic source cracks, the cycle of which is generally a thousand years, and the duration may vary from thirty years to a hundred years.

Thanks to the witches' swift and decisive action that repaired the rift in the source of magic, and the subsequent nine hundred years of propaganda, the extraordinary events of that time gradually returned to normalcy.

This time it should be different, because the first year of the catastrophe in the world of Gus has also reached a critical stage, the cyclical cracks in the source of magic will appear for a longer period of time, and this time, even the witches may not be able to completely repair it.

With external conditions now in place for Ron's Source Arts Society, the witches, having come to terms with reality, will likely no longer prevent ordinary people from having ways to protect themselves.

The Rift of the Source of Law has appeared. According to the prediction of the Goddess of the Magic Network, the city with the most rifts is Nick City, while Beg City is the second-tier city.

Scattered rifts in the source of magic have also begun to appear in Beg City.

Ron completed the source rune setup last night. At this crucial juncture, Ron was already sitting cross-legged on the source rune array. He released his mental power and first focused all his energy on sensing the location of the scattered cracks in Beg City.

One, two...five.

Five scattered locations.

Okay, this also verifies one of the functions of the composite source array.

Ron used his Source Technique to sense the condition of the remaining members.

Since Ron explained the situation last night, five branch managers are still on duty today, caring for their families and everything seems normal. It seems that these five people have understood Ron's initial hint.

For the past six months or so, I've given many hints, but how many people actually have the ability to follow through? Five people are doing alright.

Ron initiated the first telepathic communication in the world of Dharma Source.

The difference between Source Magic and Magical Sound Transmission lies in distance. In the world of Gus, there are distance-limited sound transmission magic spells, while Source Magic and Source Techniques are continuous and interconnected, making distance irrelevant.

Ron's voice echoed in the minds of the five at the same time: "Pay attention to these five places. You may choose to go and explore them, but your Source Arts skills must meet the requirements recorded in the Low-Level Source Arts Manual... Alright, you can practice now!"

Ron gave a final reminder, then said no more.

He once again used the Source Rune Array to expand his perception. Previously, he only knew the general location, but this time, Ron focused on a single point.

The wonders of Origin Technique have reappeared once again.

The source of all things, from beginning to end, the definitions of space and time are all illusions, and ultimately, they all return to illusion…

It's done.

Such a distance, easily measured in kilometers, means that Ron's maximum observation range in the Gus world would never be that far.

The world of Dharma source—the source of Dharma is indeed wondrous!

The Eye of Observation, the spell successful. Ron's Outer Eye appeared near the Source Rift. The Outer Eye was formed from Source Magic and located atop a high-rise building. Through this eye, Ron observed the movements of the Source Rift.

Wait, and wait some more.

After a long time, Ron finally confirmed the existence of the abomination.

So this is what low-level divine abominations look like! The information from the Goddess of the Magic Network only mentions high-level humanoid divine abominations, but low-level divine abominations are the ones we need to deal with right now.

Ron observed and analyzed the appearance, strength of aura, and so on of the divine abomination.

Low-level divine abominations resemble low-level inferior demons and can be classified as a type of monster. However, divine abominations differ from abyssal inferior demons. Divine abominations possess an inherent evil divinity, and looking at them for too long can give one a feeling of unease.

The low-level divine abominations take on various forms. As it stands, the divine abominations emerging from this source rift are somewhat similar to the halflings of the ancient world, exhibiting various half-human physical characteristics.

Since the appearance of the divine abominations, there have been more than a dozen in a short period of time. Some have snake-like heads and human bodies, some have tiger-like heads and human bodies, and some have human heads and beast lower bodies. The various half-body forms naturally look awkward.

The halflings in the world of Guz are mostly human-headed with bird feet and lower bodies, with the rest being a minority of halfling races.

Ron's unseen eye was watching everything here, and he was also waiting for another subject to observe.

Here they come, here they come, the extraordinary witches.

As expected, the superhuman witch arrived quickly enough, and the people nearby had been arranged to disperse in advance.

Extraordinary deeds are always dealt with as quickly as possible.

The opposing witch possesses profound mystical powers, but her precognitive abilities are naturally inferior to those of the Goddess of the Magic Network. The Goddess of the Magic Network foresaw today's events more than half a year in advance, so it is sufficient for the witches to accurately predict them half a month in advance.

Three black-clad witches fought against more than ten divine monsters.

Ron observed everything before him with his unseen eye, gathering as much tactical intelligence as possible. The more intelligence he gathered, the better it would be for Ron to develop the Source Arts Society.

...

...

After a long time, the three witches emerged victorious. One of them, who looked quite old, approached the Rift of the Source of Law. She took out the materials she had prepared beforehand, set up an array, and sealed one of the rifts.

So that's how it's repaired!

Ron observed from a distance that another witch was searching for any remaining signs of life. It was one thing to tell people to evacuate, but whether they wanted to evacuate was another matter entirely. This witch actually managed to find the remaining humans.

Just like the high-ranking officials in the government, there are always dissidents who don't listen to the authorities. Faced with ordinary people who don't stand by and watch the show, the witch used the Oblivion Magic.

If everyone in a city witnessed extraordinary events, would the entire city forget about magic?

This should be the practice in history, coupled with the continuous propaganda over the next nine hundred years. However, the current highest level of witches will sooner or later realize that they can no longer keep the extraordinary a secret.

Ron needs the witches to provide extra protection for the club members, as it would be difficult for Ron alone to take care of them all. He needs to assess the situation further and analyze it multiple times. If things don't look good, he can send back any club members who might come to inspect. Because telepathy is convenient, Ron can be flexible in his approach.

In what could be called the final stage of the Dharma Source upheaval, the Dharma Source Seal still malfunctioned and could no longer be sealed. Another mid-level divine abomination rushed out from the crack, and the historical response changed. Due to the urgency of the situation, the witches who were handling the aftermath had no choice but to spare the civilians who were watching.

Since no one was killed to cover it up, it seems the other party is not bad. Therefore, there is no need to specifically remind the club members who might come to investigate. Presumably, only the earliest members have met the requirements for low-level source magic masters.

Another fierce battle ensued here. So this is what a mid-level divine abomination is like!

Ron silently gathered tactical intelligence with his unseen eyes. He had no shortage of strategic intelligence from the Goddess of the Magic Network, and with the addition of tactical intelligence, Ron's future plans would be almost complete.

The witches won this battle again. One of them looked noticeably older. Was the price of using magic beyond her level another loss of life? I really feel like her Vivian is some witch from a later era.
