The Executed Sage Reincarnates as a Lich and Begins a War of Aggression Chapter 231: The Sage Resists the Will of the World

I froze at Groms remarks.

Although it was unexpected, I wasnt too surprised about it.

I scratched my forehead and asked him after correcting my posture.

What happened? Tell in detail.

Yes, actually

Grom timidly began to talk about the situation.

It seed that there were many people claiming to be the Savior on the continent where the riot took place.

According to the spies investigation, a bard spread the story.

Moreover, it was said that the story was heavily modified.

According to the bard, the Savior was a naless herald.

There could be multiple people who bear the na as they were helping people behind the scenes.

Everyone had such qualities and could be a Savior by doing good deeds.

And those who manage to beco Saviors have their souls blessed.

So people were inspired by this and began to call themselves the Savior.

The spies who sensed the situation reported to through Grom.

I see. This is troubleso.

My deepest apologies. If only we proceeded with the plan earlier

You dont have to apologize. It is I who was too nave to read the situation.

The speed of the rumor spreading was higher than expected.

It was unnaturally widespread.

Even with the presence of the bard, I felt that it was too influential.

Perhaps the Will of the World was involved in this.

The peoples emotions seeking out heralds triggered the ergence of Saviors.

In any case, it was a fact that I failed to stop it.

I doubt everyone seriously claid themselves to be the Savior.

It was just a fad, so to speak.

It was more of an entertainnt.

It was how common people pretended to feel like a herald.

If it was in any other situation, it was a harmless fad.

But at present, it was the worst kind of act.

The Will of the World intervened with trivial possibilities, leading to unbelievable results.

Logic couldnt apply to the collective entity of human desire.

The fact that we have people proclaiming themselves to be the Savior in various locations certainly had aning.

It wouldnt be weird if there was soone who actually awakened among them.

So might have already mastered eccentric abilities.

Understanding the situation, I commanded Grom.

The plan on making a spy beco the Savior is canceled. Ill have the spy return to his forr duties.

Hah, I will relay the command. What should we do for those people who claid to be the Savior?

Fumu

I pondered over Grom's question.

I asked him back while looking at his face.

Grom, what would you do in this situation?

M-, is it?

Grom, who was confused by the sudden question, thought while knocking against his own forehead.

Eventually, he replied with vitriol.

I would imdiately kill them all. They were rebels who hindered with your important plans. I dont see any advantage in keeping them alive for the Demon Lords Army.

I see.

It seems that Demon Lord-sama has a different opinion about it.

Yes. I wont kill them all. I would instead take advantage of this situation.

Killing them all was easy.

However, it didnt an much to carry that out at this point in ti.

On the contrary, it would likely turn the situation for the worse.

The dissatisfaction and fear of the masses might get stimulated, further strengthening the peoples desire for a Savior.

Anyway, the existing strategy was no longer viable.

There was no choice but to proceed with a new thod.

After summarizing my thoughts, I gave Grom an additional command.

Uncover and monitor all the identities of the self-proclaid Saviors. We will have them cooperate to achieve world peace.

Certainly! I will do that right away.

Grom left the room nimbly.

His presence moved away from the castle and quickly went away.

I focused on the presence behind .

Luciana was sitting on the open window.

She appeared at about the sa mont as Grom left the room.

Perhaps she eavesdropped on our conversation earlier.

Luciana sighed deeply.

Things have beco troubleso. Are you sure you are not hated by the Will of the World?

I cant deny that.

The Will of the World had interfered with my actions many tis in the past.

I thought I could get away from it this ti, but it seed that it wasnt so easy to achieve that.

Luciana ca into the room then wrapped her arms around my shoulders.

She drew closer and whispered.

Well, leave the preparations to . Failure is a common thing.

Indeed. I have no ti to sulk.

I never expected that I would be able to pull it off perfectly to begin with.

I did consider failure.

It was unexpected that a Savior would appear en masse, but it wasnt impossible to deal with.

I had experience and power gained all this ti.

We will restore order. It will be us moving the world.

Thats great! I felt a thrill from that line.

Luciana said happily as she licked her lips.

She didnt feel pessimistic about failure.

Rather, she was burning with a fighting spirit.

I should learn from her optimistic attitude.

This ti, I decided to exceed the Will of the World.
