The fact that such an organization had a Philosopher's Stone was an example of how powerful it was.
The Philosopher's Stone is not an object that can be obtained lightly anywhere. On Earth, there were only two copies of it, and that was because it was divided.
By now, Matt is aware that there is one per world, and getting it on that world is astonishingly difficult.
So far, he knows of the existence of two specimens in this place. One is held in the Central City of the World, and the other seems to be in the hands of the Vampire Prosperity Organization.
But there was something else Matt saw in that scroll.

'A prophecy... It seems that what I initially suspected was correct. They are trying to create a religion. They seem to have changed the way they do things, which might make it slightly more difficult to find them.' Matt sighed after thinking about this.
These guys were working without much care because they were sure that there were not many people at the Academy. Besides, the short vacation given to those in this section of the Academy was not over yet; all the students would want to enjoy it to the fullest, as they knew how hard the rest of the year would be for them.
It was because of this that they worked carelessly, making a serious mistake when they faced Matt.
Still, the truth was that Isla could sense some powerful people nearby. Those people did not realize that her ability had been activated because this ability used electromagnetic waves that mixed with the wind to expand, although it operated in a different way.
But it was precisely because of these electromagnetic waves, which Isla could sense and control to a certain extent, that she knew there were powerful people nearby. How come those guys didn't notice anything?
'How does he do it? Has his ability increased so much since the last time I saw him? What kind of ability is he using? Even I can't sense him in my ability, despite the fact that he's right next to me. It's like my ability can't activate on him. I could understand it because he's the creator of the ability, but why couldn't I feel it?' Isla was confused by this.
"Isn't what you did dangerous? Killing them will alert them, and now they will be more careful," she said as she poured him tea she had made.
Matt took a small sip of the tea and smiled. 'She's getting much better even at this. It seems that skill gave her a lot to think about, which has made her develop better at finding the answer to the questions in her heart.' Matt then looked up to look at her.
"It may seem so, but the truth is that their being careful is only a matter of time. When the news of Sophia's words spreads far and wide and when Alice's current power comes to light, added to my current combat power, all of this will cause those guys to start acting so carefully that it will be very difficult to find them.
That's why I saw the need to send them a provocation to see if they'll act before this all blows over." Matt replied, though he then smiled.
"Well, it could all be resolved if I received one more important status," Matt spoke.
Isla was surprised by his vision, but thinking who Matt was, she understood why he could think all that and she could not. But what he said at the end left her confused.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"Those guys seem to target me and I don't understand the motives. But, they seem to have a person who sees the future or destiny on their side.
The moment I receive one more status, and it is revealed about my current power, alarm bells will ring among them, as they consider that we are mortal enemies and one more status is more resources for me, which can mean much more development than I have already had in the last two years. With all those things, they will act without hesitation and try to kill me somehow, which will draw them out."
"At that precise moment, we can take the opportunity to finish them off at once." A frank, straightforward, fearless answer filled the room. Isla fell silent after hearing this, and her vision darkened slightly.
"That would be dangerous for you, Matt. We don't know how powerful that organization is. What will we do if they all come at you? We'll possibly die. They are much more powerful than we are," she replied.
Her concern for him was genuine, but despite knowing Matt would get in trouble, she didn't see a possible future with just him in that trouble. She saw a future where they would both be there, fighting those guys.
Even though it was something that was almost imperceptible and would easily escape anyone else's perception, it made Matt smile.
