After Red Ponytail declared war on the Clock Tower on behalf of the World Tree of a Thousand Realms, the entire Clock Tower was almost driven mad with anger.
Particularly, the Noble Factions represented by the Ulysseus family of the Arrival Department even threatened to completely erase the World Tree of a Thousand Realms from this world.
No wonder the Noble Factions were so enraged. During the previous Holy Grail War, the World Tree of a Thousand Realms had openly opposed the Mage's Association. Although the outcome at the time was a mutual loss, the World Tree of a Thousand Realms had blocked the news, so the Mage's Association didn't know whether the Holy Grail War was successful. Of course, in their minds, the World Tree of a Thousand Realms must have failed.
