Chapter 57
After breaking the contract between City H and the Fairy Queen and banishing her from this world, I started managing the aftermath. Specifically, I was retrieving the World’s Enemies and artificial Spirits I had scattered across other cities.
These were created to destabilize H Group and lure out the Fairy Queen. Now that H Group’s monopolistic stature was shattered, there was no need to leave these creations unchecked.
“Send the self-destruct order, and then…”
Next, it was important to make people realize what had been happening to them. They needed to understand that there were parasites feeding on their Souls, stealing their emotions.
People needed to know how the World’s Enemy comes into existence, licking human Souls and devouring their emotions, a truly horrifying reality.
But to do this, explaining the concept of Soul was necessary, a burden I found rather bothersome to handle alone.
“I think there was a Scholar member researching Souls…”
I had heard there was a member exploring the existence of Souls, an endeavor to manifest the mysteries of life and death through science. Scholar members typically kept their identities secret but accessing details about each other’s Research was relatively easy.
Thinking I could just send a paper on Souls to that member, I dove into drafting the material. It felt like forever since I’d been this busy with the pen.
