"This is the fourteenth one."
An Eternal Level Light Born, Araya, walked into a room with a solemn look on her face. In front of her sat another Light Born, Lucian, another Eternal Level Light Born, and not just any Eternal—
He was the second strongest.
Well—
Now the strongest Light Born.
Yes, after Auren, it was him who was known for his strength, the only Light Born who could actually face Auren and not lose as pathetically as others did.
Lucian was strong, stronger than almost all the Light Borns, and with Auren now out of the picture, his importance only grew more.
But...
Lucian did not like that.
If it was any other situation, a situation where Auren somehow perished or was weakened and he replaced him, he wouldn’t have minded.
But with Light being targeted as strongly as it was right now—
Lucian feared that he too had become a target. He thought that Auren was taken out because he was the hope of Light.
The strongest being the Anomaly could defeat, so he did.
And now?
That being was him.
If Anomaly targeted him, the Light Borns who now had their hopes on him would feel crushed.
Of course, he was giving himself too much credit. No Light Born actually held any hopes on him, not when the one stronger than him was defeated without having much of a chance to fight.
Honestly, most Light Borns believed the Anomaly didn’t even know of his existence, and if he did, he didn’t really care.
But of course, they couldn’t say it out loud.
Not when the other party was stronger than them and held more power.
"That quickly?"
Lucian raised his eyebrow.
"It has only been two months since lockdown began. It clearly doesn’t have any effect."
He commented, letting go of the documents he was reading.
Araya did not say anything, she just stood still, thinking.
"How many does it make in total, just in this week?"
Lucian asked.
"This was the third."
Araya answered in a low voice. She knew it too, it wasn’t good news.
"Three in a single week.
It is happening fast.
Faster than we had expected, they are much more cowardly than we were expecting."
Again, Araya didn’t say anything.
Honestly, she understood.
The Light Worlds were in ultimate panic, their emotions were being played with. They were being locked in the name of being protected, and while it might have worked at some level, the issue was that even after going through what they were going through, even after abandoning their freedom, even after letting another being peek into their minds every single month—
They weren’t actually protected.
This was more about protecting Light’s reputation than protecting them, and after Light’s desperate action, it was becoming clearer and clearer.
It did not seem like Light cared about its people, and when every single one of their actions was only strengthening this point, how long would the worlds still be willing to serve under them?
At this point, it was no longer about loyalty either—
It was about fear.
The Worlds were scared to leave Light, not because they were scared of being targeted by Anomaly and being defenseless against him. Anomaly had already proved that Light’s protection did absolutely nothing to stop him.
It didn’t even slow him down.
They were scared of Light itself, of what Light might do if they decided to leave.
After all, because Light now controlled the information, the Worlds still did not know about the fourteen worlds that had already left Light. If they did, nothing would have stopped them from leaving too.
But...
There was only so much fear could actually make people do.
After constant suppression in almost every way, almost every single world would leave.
It was only a matter of time.
And both Light Borns present in the room knew that.
"How long do you think we have?"
Just when both Light Borns were thinking about everything that had happened, suddenly Lucian asked.
Araya looked at him, and for a moment, she didn’t say anything.
Both Light Borns obviously knew that the way things were going, all Light Worlds would leave the Light Faction, and the Faction would... perish.
And obviously, since they knew that, Lord Light and Seraphielle knew that before making this decision as well.
So why do it?
Why do something so... self-destructive?
The answer was simple.
Light wasn’t self-destructing, it was... preparing.
After everything that had happened, if there was one good thing that came for Light out of this, it was the fact that they now held complete control over the information that went around the Light Faction.
And together with this—
They also had control over what information regarding the Light Faction would travel to the rest of the Universe, which, right now, was... nothing.
