Supreme Harem God System novel Chapter 2263

Chapter 2263: A predator does not become honest because he wears a smile.

"Can we catch them?"

Seraphielle asked directly and Lord Light...

"We can try."

He nodded after a bit of hesitation.

"But... we would need to launch a Universal-level operation.

And while that in itself would not be difficult,

It...

It won’t solve the core issue."

Yes, that was the problem.

Catching them wouldn’t be difficult, especially with the amount of power they held. All they would need to do would be to mobilize their forces and send out an order.

All the World Leaders in their faction would then run wide-range memory scans in their respective worlds, and even a single discrepancy, a missing memory, a false memory that did not make sense, or contact with someone suspicious in any being’s mind, would be enough to catch them.

Once it was established that the Anomaly had his people spread throughout the worlds, to cancel his connection with the Universe and stop him from having an influence this strong in their Universe, the other Infinities would act and command their respective factions as well.

As for the neutral worlds that had yet to become part of any faction, every faction could send their armies to these worlds in the name of ’fighting an external threat,’ not to mention this would also serve as an opportunity to... expand their territory and influence, an opportunity none of the Four Factions would miss.

At first look, it seemed like an exceptional plan, something that should be implemented directly.

After all, it not only removed Anomaly’s influence from the Universe by its roots, it also gave the Four Factions an opportunity and the reason to expand.

The reason they had been looking for for hundreds of thousands of years.

But...

Like most plans, this too had... issues.

Several issues, in fact.

"If we hunt his people directly, mortals will not see it as justice.

No being would like their memories being read under the suspicion of being a traitor, and if such an operation is initiated Universally with our name attached to it,

It will have a crippling effect on our reputation.

The people will see it as... Light suppressing the Universe because someone revealed the truth.

They will see it as Light panicking in front of the truth and how... the Anomaly revealed Light’s dark side.

It will give more credit to the recordings he revealed.

It wouldn’t be surprising if many begin supporting him instead."

Lord Light explained with a grim look on his face.

Honestly, everything he mentioned wasn’t a big issue—Light had ruled over the Universe for trillions and trillions of years.

They had all the power they needed to pull off something like this and not be affected by it, at least not strongly.

Sure, many would raise their voices, many would resist, but...

With time, it would all return to normal.

And if Seraphielle addressed the people directly, they wouldn’t even need time. People would flock to any direction Seraphielle pointed them toward—that was the power an Infinity held, especially Seraphielle, who had the strongest voice when it came to addressing the people of the Universe.

But...

"Not to mention the Anomaly can replace them anytime he wishes."

This was another issue—

Or the main issue, really.

"With his mind manipulation techniques... recruitment is simple for him. Most mortals wouldn’t even know they are on his side till they begin to move."

Lord Light had not forgotten about the Anomaly’s immortal army.

That being had the power to brainwash and recruit even a Light Born. His mind manipulation was so strong that even in front of Seraphielle, the Mother of all Light Borns—a being who could make any Light Born kneel at any point she desired—those Light Borns did not care.

It was almost like they did not even recognize her.

It was...

Terrifying.

Puppets that were completely loyal to him, puppets that... did not have a mind of their own.

If the Anomaly had the power to do that to Light Borns, that too Eternal-level Light Borns, mere mortals would never be able to resist him.

Sure, it might take him a while—if they truly crushed his network, it would take him decades or even centuries to rebuild it.

But...

It wouldn’t be difficult to build it back.

The only way to completely stop him would be to continuously run these Universal-level operations, constantly reading the memories of every being in the Universe, maybe every ten years, and if that happened—

Especially right now, when those recordings had spread...

It would completely ruin Light’s reputation, and this time, even Seraphielle’s appearance would not change anything.

And because every being present in the chamber knew that—

A heavy silence fell in the place.

Lord Light finished his report.

He had delivered everything, every ugly truth, and the more he spoke, the more he felt the same thing in his chest:

Helplessness.

And it wasn’t because Light lacked power; in fact, he was sure if it came down to it, they were stronger.

But this war wasn’t about power.

This was not a war of strength.

It was a war of belief.

And they...

They were losing.

"So..."
