Supreme Harem God System novel Chapter 2278

Chapter 2278: Something had happened.

"But whenever Anomaly wants, he would turn into an Agent, so memory scans became a necessity.

On every single person, since no one, not even the most loyal, could be trusted."

Lord Light shared the problem, and without waiting for Seraphielle to react, he continued, sharing the other solution he had thought of.

"Limited memory scans wouldn’t help, not against him. So I thought of another thing. The issue of mass mistrust begins with information.

The travellers return with outside information; that information spreads and fans the flames of mistrust and grievances, especially when people hear how only the worlds from our faction are facing Anomaly’s direct onslaught, and worlds from other factions have been living worry-free.

I thought of completely sealing off that information. I considered travel, trade restrictions, route lockdowns.

This would completely isolate the Light Worlds from the rest of the Universe, but...

If we spend a little, a new interdependent cycle will form, a cycle where Light Worlds wouldn’t need outside worlds and can rely on themselves.

As for the resources or products our worlds absolutely need, we can move our own forces to obtain those.

And although this would strengthen the rebellious thoughts, at this point, the more we restrict people, the more dissatisfied they will feel, I understand that.

I understand that this might backlash, and there might even be rebellion. After all, when no one speaks, silence itself will become suspicious.

This will paint us as tyrants too, affecting our reputation but..."

Lord Light took a short pause, as if collecting his thoughts, before continuing again—

"But in the long run, after a few centuries, people would get used to the change. They will get used to living in an isolated cycle. In the next thousand years, most mortals would forget that worlds other than the Light Worlds even exist. They will forget what freedom looks like, their standards will shrink, their questions will die, and we...

We would have complete and absolute control over the information that circulates amongst the Light Worlds.

This is also one of our most viable options in the current scenario."

Lord Light spoke, staring at Seraphielle with a careful look on his face, like a child looking at his mother after suggesting an idea—an idea he didn’t know if his mother would pass or not.

Seraphielle just looked at him and—

"Then why do I hear hesitation?"

She asked a simple question, wanting to know Lord Light’s complete thought, and Lord Light...

He lowered his head.

"I do not know how the other factions will react to it."

Seraphielle tilted her head in curiosity.

Lord Light continued—

"If we follow this, we basically remove the Light Faction from the Universe. Our products, our identity—everything will be lost.

And the Universe wouldn’t be kind to it.

The loss of Light Products would mean other worlds learning to live without us.

Recruiting new worlds in the future would become a few steps tougher.

It... it might also isolate you from the other three Infinities, giving them a chance to scheme against you without you knowing."

Seraphielle turned silent at those words.

Honestly, this matter wasn’t that big. The other three Infinities did not need to isolate her in order to scheme against her—they could do this whenever they wished. Hell, Seraphielle wouldn’t be surprised if they were scheming against her even now.

But...

If the Infinities weren’t planning something, then isolating her worlds from the Universe... would put some level of target behind her back.

Not to mention this would also affect the Authority she gains from the Universe, and with the Light Worlds gone, the Balance will break, and the Darkness... Darkness will spread, strengthening the Infinity of Darkness, her Arch Enemy.

"Keep it aside for now."

Seraphielle commanded.

If push came to shove, then this was indeed one of the viable options, but she still wanted more—something... better.

Lord Light nodded. He understood what she was feeling and expected it to some level, so he continued—

"We can also... clean the rot."

Seraphielle frowned at those words.

"The Universe doubts us. People are suspicious. We can use this moment to erase those who are blamed the most—erase a few Light Borns, a few World Leaders in the name of justice.

This will cleanse our reputation."

He spoke, and Seraphielle raised her eyebrow, and the next instant, Lord Light shook his head.

"No. If we admit the existence of rot, it would only give the Anomaly more credibility.

I do not know what I was thinking, Lady Seraphielle.

Please forgive me."

He bowed.

Seraphielle looked at him for a moment, then—

"Continue."

She ordered.

And this time, Lord Light gulped...

He was being... far more careful.

In his desperation, he had thought of multiple things, multiple possible ways he could use against Anomaly.

He planned to portray Anomaly as the Universe’s Enemy to sway the public opinion, but Anomaly already is the enemy, the villain in this story.

But what’s worse is that Light isn’t being portrayed as the Hero like it always has.

This time, Light has become... a victim.

"Even if I go to them and they agree to help, they would only help us enough to be seen helping. They wouldn’t actually do anything."
