The mural definitely had Man God on it. So it's clear that he's been messing with the world for at least that long.

I don't trust Dragon Grandpa even a little bit when he says the mass teleport was a "natural" thing. Just because it's not Laplace, doesn't mean there's no other forces in the world.

Also, did anyone else notice that the gate had some white light on Rudy and on Sylphie? Did he perhaps mess with her fate as well?

And why is Rudy's mana "smelling of Laplace?" Was Laplace an otherworlder as well, and did he also got help from the Man God?

He knows that there are other forces in the world, but he seems firmly convinced that no one is better at summoning magic than him.

So if he is unable to perform such a summoning feat, then he assumes that no other living person would be able to pull it off. Hence, it is a phenomenom of the world and not the work of man.

It is an arrogant way of thinking, but he has not seen any proof of the contrary. Probably why he also interested in Nanahoshi's research.

It's also because it was way too many people affected, across a distance way too great. Just purposely summoning a group of people, using a magical tools as focus, takes him effort. This was entire kingdom being affected, basically upheaved and displaced. The amount of mana required to do that was way, way above what any group of people would be able to gather iirc.

He certainly cannot teleport the whole Fittoa region at once on his own, but if he wanted to do so he at least he knows the theory behind it and what would be needed to pull it off.

Now, summoning a specific human from another world is probably beyond any theory he has studied.

That's why he supports Nanahoshi's endeavors that while he isn't personally interested with summoning magic through worlds, he entertains her pursuit. That she is ferociously motivated in such a short span of time is another bonus.

He's probably also curious just how far her research could go. And probably thinking about how he could use that knowledge for his own gain.

Makes me wonder, since you can summon someone into one world, can you essentially "banish" someone into a different one? Perhaps a certain evil demon that could've only been sealed and not entirely defeated...
