Chapter 87: Previous life (2)
[Physis' POV]
The battle had come to an end, and we had successfully repelled the demon king and his horde, with minimal casualties.
What stood out the most was that, according to the original story, this assault should have nearly annihilated the North and plunged Adilun into despair.
The main goal of the story was to portray Adilun rising above despair after a long struggle, but that goal was broken. There was no need to worry about sticking to the original storyline.
To me, the story didn't have to adhere strictly to its original course. This place was not just a world within a novel; it was a world where the people I cherished lived and breathed.
Therefore, it was crucial for Adilun not to fall into despair.
Moreover, one could argue that it was fortunate for the story's flow to deviate. If everything had followed the original plan, the calamity starting from the monster's assault would have led to the invasion of Ortaire in the east, and events would have unfolded with the destruction of the North.
The terrible plague, originating from the shattered North, a combination of corpses and the vile energy of monsters, would have emerged. The story would have depicted how Vitala Church and Adilun united their strength to barely overcome the plague.
In truth, the most critical issue was the plague. It was more than a mere epidemic; many lives could have been lost due to this outbreak.
If the plague had spread to the central region, weakening Enadeim's power, Ortaire would have been invaded by Eastern kingdoms.
Though I didn't fully comprehend the intricacies of the politics within the central region, at the very least, a new significant turn of events had emerged, one that preemptively blocked those disastrous occurrences.
So, I couldn't help but feel delighted.
