However, during the sixth dynasty of ancient Egypt, queen Nitocris broke the Tablet into 12 fragments. The fragments scattered around the world and had been changed. Some of the fragments absorbed elemental power, others were forged into magical artifacts by high level sorcery. So far, there are only 7 fragments that have been discovered.

In Hollow Mirror Field arc, Kanae Kuroshiba created an Artificial Emerald Tablet to stop Lieselotte from destroying the world. With its power, Kanae intended to extend the range of her Specialized Bounded Field, the mirror field, to the whole world, rendering all magi around the planet unable to use magic, making Thule the reigning power. However, to create the Tablet she needed a significant amount of life energy of people with certain genetic traits; that was why she created the Doppelganger to kidnap those living sacrifices.
Note[]
- On her journey, Lieselotte heard a rumor about a fragment of the Emerald Tablet in Mongolia, which was even larger than the God's Name Tablet of Johanna. Lieselotte was never able to confirm this fragment since she prioritized looking for the Eye of Aeon. It is later revealed that this fragment is the Yululu of the West itself.
- It is believed that over millennia, magi and sorcery users have been trying to collect the 12 fragments of the Emerald Tablet to restore its power. However, Johanna explained that due to its nature, all the fragments still keep the power of its original object.
- Magi like Sophia Measley believes that the size of each fragment contribute to the amount of power it holds. Johanna told her that magi perceive the tablet this way based on their knowledge of sorcery. Johanna pointed out that if the sizes of each fragment indeed determine the strength of their powers, then the common belief that the Tablet processes unlimited magical power wouldn't be true because no matter how one divides unlimited, the result will be unlimited.
