Chapter 988 Lith’s Mistake
The world was at peace.
This statement did not apply anymore to Lith's world as every single continent was involved in some or the other drama.
From the news Lith was watching, after Ruben's attack on the Werewolf King's castle, the news of the Angels was heard.
There were rumors that the Angels seemed to be preparing for a holy war. There was no solid proof, so this news was just glanced over.
"There's nothing from the Elven Continent." Lith looked at his tablet screen and thought out loud. "It seems I need to get an update from Ilyas himself."
Lith took out his phone and texted the said man. There was an instant response from his end.
The message stated that Ilyas was successful in creating two camps within the Beastkins, one belonging to him and the other belonging to Sakaguchi.
He sold them the idea of becoming a main race by showing his Supreme Rank prowess.
Then, he also turned the Goblins, Orcs, and Trolls as his allies, weakening Sakaguchi's faction even further.
He then went after the Elves.
Many Elves were secretly killed, and the administration has not yet realized the problem.
"Weird," commented Lith.
Ilyas then stated that it was him who was working behind the scenes to stop the Elven administration from meddling. He was slowly cutting down the Elves from inside-out.
"Oh. That's interesting now."
Then, it was stated that everything was going smoothly so far, but lately, there have been some problems.
A lot less Elves were moving out of the World Tree for adventures.
The Goblins were suddenly suffering through a plague and the Beastkins of Sakaguchi's side were secretly meeting a few Elves.
Lith raised an eyebrow at this. "It seems I was wrong. Aunt definitely took action."
Satisfied with the outcome, Lith finally went to focus on the Humans.
He was a former Human, but he did not like the way the Humans of this world conducted things. Their ways were really hypocritical, and they did evil things with a virtuous fa?ade.
The enmity with the Human Ancestor wouldn't subdue until his death. He wanted that guy dead, who has been a source of major problems for Arya, and possessed the bloodline of Keith's tormentor.
Lith looked at his tablet screen and checked for the news regarding the Humans.
Devils had been running rampant in this place once again. A notice was issued to the Demon Court, and the only response they got from them was:
"Stop summoning the Devils then."
The Devils were sealed in the Abyss. The odds of them coming out on their own was almost nil. However, if the Humans summoned them, then that was another situation altogether.
The Human Court was in turmoil due to this incident. Each and every single house was being inspected for dark magic users and getting executed.
"Funnily enough, these guys are exploiting even that." Lith said and shook his head.
The fifth paper was a verdict from the Royal Clan with Lucy's stamp on it. This stated that children should be left alone in both places, and if harmed, would result in a strong reaction from the Royal Clan.
People did not dare disobey and except children, everyone else was struggling for survival.
The sixth paper talked about some children being exploited.
The seventh paper was Lucy's anger documented in text for Lith to read. She was unhappy with him causing such a problem here, and also stated he should've taken measures to not let the children be harmed.
The eight paper stated the things Lucy personally did to the people that tried to harm children.
A series of torture and executions happened on public grounds, giving a clear glimpse of the consequences that would occur if people dared harm the children.
Not only that, Lucy even made refugee camps appear in all major cities which provided a safe shelter for children.
Lucy only cared about the children as they were the society's future. The rest all could go kill themselves and it wouldn't matter.
These papers made Lith frown and ponder.
'I took measures for the trauma that would occur and the lives of people. But I did not take measures to keep children out of this.'
'Shit.' Lith realized his grave mistake.
He immediately got up and putting on a disguise hat, said, "Come with me Luna. We have lots of work to do. Call in the other maids as well."
"Yes, Your Highness." Luna obeyed and left to fetch the rest of the maids.
.....
In the outer ring of the Castle, Lith, wearing a black suit, brown vest, and a brown top hat, looked at his personal squad in common adventurer clothing.
Luna, Keith, Fanny, Fei, Sylvia, Milia, Joselyn, Solina, Idina, Tessa were standing in a semi-circle.
Beside them was the green-haired toddler Vargaros in a miniaturized adult adventurer's outfit.
Beside Vargaros were Lith's two disciples: Hyunsuk and Shi.
And finally, there was a black-haired, red-eyed handsome man with an aura similar like Lith's. This was Neo, a clone made from a high grade Destruction sword.
Lith had plans to deploy everybody as there were far too many places that required changes.
He looked at the maids and said, "Sylvia, you'll team up with Hecate and help protect the kids in the Witch Continent. The Dushkarbor girls will team up with Keith and provide relief to the kids in the Human Continent."
"Vargaros will go with Shi to the Human Continent as well. Your job is to execute any person who's actively harming kids."
"Hyunsuk and Neo will leave for the Demon Continent. Fanny, Fei, meet up with Vanessa and check the progress on the arrays."
"And Luna, you'll accompany me to the Neutral Continent."
"Does everyone understand?"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
"Good, now leave and get to work."
