Chapter 575: Chapter 460 Anfield Village_1

"This..." Oliela showed an embarrassed look; this question was beyond their academic limits.

Or rather, they dared not directly pose such a question in front of their own teacher, for would it not be considered blasphemous to the Magic Goddess?

Although not all spellcasters were followers of the Magic Goddess, maintaining a basic level of reverence was essential.

Gaven had less scruples about the matter and continued to explain, "In fact, you can think of the Berserk Magic Zone as an area where the Magic Network has collapsed, and the control of the Magic Goddess here has been greatly weakened.

Many scholars believe that the Berserk Magic Zone is the most primal form of magic. Before the existence of the Magic Network, magic existed in this form. Back then, casting spells was not generally difficult, but according to the current Professional Level standards, it would be quite dangerous for Transcendents and those below to cast spells in the Berserk Magic Zone. It’s likely they would kill themselves before killing their enemies, and even reaching the Legendary tier couldn’t completely overcome this chaotic influence.

Therefore, the creation of the Magic Network was a blessing for the entire Toril, as it lowered the overall difficulty of spellcasting and increased the success rate and safety of casting spells. Without the Magic Network, many would lose their qualification to cast spells."

Gaven’s point of view could be said to be ahead of its time.

It was because this argument was not fully formed until after the Arcane Catastrophe erupted and the Magic Network had completely collapsed.

At that time, the whole world was enveloped in the Berserk Magic Zone, with even Anti-Magic Areas appearing, which are regions devoid of magic effects, the Magic-Free Zones.

But Magic-Free Zones in a Multiverse composed of magic are paradoxical, for only in a situation with magic can one forcibly define a Magic-Free Zone. This itself is a Magic Effect, as if to say that Magic-Free Zones are the largest Magic Areas.

Tens of thousands of spellcasters went mad after the collapse of the Magic Network. Those low-level spellcasters dared not casually use magic and began searching for wild casting methods.

In fact, Gaven had an entity associated with Berserk Magic by his side, the Maiden Priestess Anna. In her past life, she once thought she was influenced by Wild Magic Force and took the path of seeking Wild Magic, working part-time as a Berserk Mage, attempting to tame the chaotic power, and searching for the root of the side effects in her spells. She ended up going further and further down the wrong path.

Back then, it was not just those spellcasters who yearned for the Magic Network they had once criticized - even the secular residents longed for it.

Because its role was not simply that of a medium for spellcasting; it also acted as a stabilizer for world stability and a barrier for the Toril Plane. When the protective layer of the Magic Network was lost, the entire world became extremely unstable, directly exposed to the Multiverse. Many entities that originally could not notice it were now able to focus and lock on to it.

Without mincing words, the Arcane Catastrophe marked the beginning of a history of disaster and hardship for Toril in recent times.

Not only did the Half-Moon Colt nod continuously, but even the Maiden Pegasus Knights were doing the same. Oliela couldn’t help but exclaim, "Mr. Gaven’s explanation is really easy to understand and has educated us quite a bit."

"You haven’t explained how the Berserk Magic Zones are formed?" the Half-Moon Colt pressed on persistently.

"There are many reasons for the formation of Berserk Magic Zones; the most common is intense energy collisions, such as a meteorite hitting the ground, or the confrontation of Legendary Spells, all of which might tear apart the Magic Network in the center of the explosion, thereby forming Berserk Magic Zones," Gaven shared generously. "The number of such zones created last year was the highest, do you know why?"

There were no fools present. Luna responded without thinking, "The places where gods descended and where their conflicts erupted could lead to intense energy collisions, especially the latter."

"Exactly," Gaven nodded and said, "The gods themselves are incarnations of Divine Laws; their overly concentrated laws can disrupt the magic’s own Balance. Places assimilated by their Divine Laws are manageable, as they become their sanctified lands. However, places where divine conflicts erupt will suffer, and eighty percent of them will become Wild Magic Zones.

The Magic Goddess naturally does not wish for such areas to arise, but there are just too many of them. Limited by the Law, she cannot, like the previous two Magic Goddesses, descend in her divine form to repair these areas and must rely on secular believers."

His words were already quite blunt, just short of outright stating that Midnight, who had only recently ascended to become the third Magic Goddess, had not yet fully mastered the Magic Network, especially when compared to the previous two goddesses.

Gaven had already thought of the method to gain the grace of the Glorious Magic Goddess – it was by repairing the Berserk Magic Zones.

It wasn’t about fixing one or two such zones, but rather finding a way to quickly and effectively repair Berserk Magic Zones on a large scale.

He already had a direction for this issue, but it required a large amount of manpower and resources to support. Despite now controlling three territories, he still felt inadequate and hence had not advanced this matter.

"Let’s leave this topic here for today. We are about to arrive at Anfield Village, so let’s head down. Even though they don’t have a no-fly zone, flying around indiscriminately will get us a cold reception," Oliela said with a chuckle, wisely putting an end to the conversation. They simply did not have Gaven’s boldness to discuss gods at will.
