The reason why the city of mages was able to remain suspended in the air thanks to the magic power supplied by the "Calamity of Wood" was...
It is precisely because it possesses the world's largest magic engine.
Legend has it that the most primitive magic engine was created by a grand mage and has a history of nearly a thousand years.
Even though Ryan Kent later invented a more efficient magic engine,
That was merely a modified version of the original magic engine within the Mage Capital.
"So, the engine sound we're hearing now is coming from the Mage Capital?"
Heim Horn frowned, then looked at Ryan Kent and nodded with absolute confidence.
"That's right, it must be the engine from the Mage Capital! Such a loud commotion could only have come from it!"
Ryan Kent was still testing his ideas when he noticed Haim Horn's brow furrowing even deeper, as if he were deep in thought.
"Um, can I say something?"
Since she couldn't find the bear-man butler in sight, she had to turn her attention back to this place.
As it happened, I overheard Haim Horn and Ryan Kent's discussion.
Seeing the two old men still enthusiastically discussing the magic engine, as if they were sharing their academic achievements, I was struck by their words.
Lorelei couldn't sit still any longer and interrupted the conversation.
"Have you noticed that the sound seems to be getting closer?"
There was a subtle, almost imperceptible sense of urgency in her tone.
At this moment, Ryan Kent was still not fully aware of what was happening. He listened carefully for a while, and his expression gradually became puzzled.
"That's true, but why is that?"
Heim Horn calmly raised his head, as if finally realizing something, and spoke without any emotion:
"Because Endymion is falling..."
"To be more precise, it is Endymion's magic engine that is in operation, launching a high-speed impact against the ground."
He spoke in a low voice, his gaze following the sound to the edge of the sky.
Amidst the interplay of golden light and clouds, a colossal island could be vaguely seen crashing down upon the earth.
The massive island tore through the thick clouds, its pale air currents shattering the tranquil sky.
A dark shadow covered the golden sky, creating a suffocating and terrifying atmosphere.
Observing the massive island that had crashed, Haim Horn seemed to have accepted the impending reality, calmly stating:
"The Grand Master's prophecy is about to come true."
...
When the roaring sound rang out from the sky, the group paused slightly, feeling puzzled.
Then, all three of them turned their gaze to Loki in front of them.
He wore a helpless smile, seemingly unsurprised by the sudden roar.
It was as if all of this was an unchangeable fact to him, allowing him to accept it with complete peace.
“Once, when I was a great mage, I made a prophecy.”
“I foretell that Endymion is destined to suffer a catastrophe, and that it will fall from the sky.”
"At that time, the millennia-old magic power accumulated in the city of mages will collide with the entire world, and the purest magic power will vaporize the entire world."
Upon hearing Loki's calm narration, all three of them paused slightly and fell silent.
Aurelion and Vega, both of them knew about this prophecy.
Especially Vega, who had just entered the Mage Capital with Victor at that time.
It was Senator Haim Horn who invited Victor to join Parliament and revealed the prophecy to him.
However, after Viktor successfully defeated the Wood Calamity dwelling within Endymion, Vega believed that the prophecy should have come to an end.
At the very least, there shouldn't be another scenario like the Grand Mage's prediction of Endymion's fall.
But the problem is that it seems no one present considered an important fact:
That is,
Endymion was created by the great mage.
Endymion could crash at any time if he wanted to.
At the same time, it was as if they sensed something.
Erica and Cocotte, who had just returned, also heard the roaring sound from the sky.
Then, they all looked up at the sky.
The blurry shadow that fell to the ground like a streak of light was the huge island called 'Endymion'.
But now, even if we wanted to stop it, it seems too late.
As if he had already accepted reality, Loki spoke calmly, definitively establishing the facts.
“From the moment I existed a thousand years ago and created the Council of Mages.”
"Endymion is destined to fall in Ragnarok a thousand years from now."
This is Loki's final trump card, the Archmage's millennia-long scheme.
It was the ultimate means that no one could have foreseen.
"I hereby announce."
"The prophecy has come true."
