Chapter 1082 Machinations Of A Slumbering Goddess P2

'Hmm? A prophecy?'

This was the first time Eren had heard about a prophecy that could spook a goddess into taking extreme measures. He looked at Nira Nightshade with a puzzled expression, nudging her to explain further.

"As a result of these conditions in the isolation array, half-bloods are oppressed in the land of Anfang, Eren. The goddess couldn't kill the half-bloods on the land of Anfang completely due to the cause-and-effect fabric of the world deeming it to be nearly impossible.

So she chose the next logical thingâ€" suppressing them to near extinction.

The very first condition in the isolation array was that it would start to deteriorate if the descendants of the sacrificed subjects crossed a certain number in the population. It would suppress and harm entities who talked about half-bloods and topics related to them.

The isolation array also prevented demons from entering the world easily. It almost completely restricted rankers from taking the demonic path and turning themselves into demonic rankers.

The isolation array couldn't completely prevent the demons from possessing the bodies of mana beasts. But it prevented the genesis of a new line of half-bloods.

Meaning no matter how much the demons' soul fragments tried, they couldn't sire a new line of half-bloods on the land of Anfang anymore."

Eren's stunned expression was evident when he heard what the goddess had set up in the isolation array. She seemed paranoid about half-bloods or someone born from them.

'Well... At least Argo can carry on with his activities without having to worry about anything.'

Eren thought in his head. He felt that the isolation array had done Argo a huge favor by preventing him from siring children. The Prince Of Gluttony alone would have made a substantial contribution to the half-bloods' existing numbers if it wasn't for such restrictions.

Only now did Eren understand why the establishments were okay with the existence of the tamed demon beasts as well as why they were not worried about the future line of half-bloods getting sired by them. The goddess had stopped the new line of half-bloods. With such conditions on the isolation array, she intended to cull existing half-bloods as well using the alliance as her tool.

Due to the alliance's backstabbing of half-blood clans, they wouldn't let the isolation array deteriorate. The alliance's long-term efforts would be ruined. So it did exactly what the goddess had expected it to do. It employed strict measures to control the relay of information related to these topics.

The alliance also influenced the establishments working under it to hunt and kill the remaining half-bloods in their respective territories after the isolation array was set up. Half-bloods were forced to seek shelter in the Last Blood Bastian, disappearing completely from open society. They started living in the shadows.

As a result of the isolation array, the invaders were prevented from entering Anfang. It cursed the children of Echidna that tried to force their way into this world and made the infiltrators go insane. That's the reason they needed to awaken the "clarity" hidden in their bloodlines to function as normal beings.

Things didn't change much for those who originally belonged to the land of the fey and had decided to stay here. They had supported the alliance and remained part of the establishment. The land of the fey stopped sending infiltrators to Anfang completely after the isolation array was raised. They concluded that their efforts were not worth the potential gains they would receive from them.

Labh Salem decided that it would remain neutral as an organization. It would not try to keep tabs on what was going on in the land of Anfang. But it would allow its denizens to do what they wanted to do.

The titans had humongous physicalities and they were adept at casting basic magic spells as well. But they weren't an advanced civilization like others. Plus, they had never thought of settling down in Angang peacefully.

Furthermore, the isolation array was specifically made to stop the titans' infiltration. Thus, they ceased to exist on the land of Anfang. Never to be seen again.

Establishments began following the guidelines of the Anfang alliance. The former stayed in the background and allowed establishments to take the lead.

The establishments openly hunted demonic rankers and cultists alike at that time. The alliance wanted nothing to do with the gods or demons after the activation of the isolation array. All of them from both sides were culled.

The establishments used a variety of methods to hunt half-bloods. The Historian class was invented so that the establishment could track and kill such targets. This is why it is unique to the land of Anfang. This class doesn't exist anywhere else.

After the talk of half-bloods died down, these forces continued to operate in the shadows. This was how the establishments started maintaining special units like Edinburgh's Blood Punisher Force.

'Eren, I can bet you anything that the goddess this elf is talking about is the same harlot you encountered in Sienna Slughorn's shell. She is the only one who is capable of doing something like this. You are the inheritor of the same man she is afraid of. A resurrection that she wanted to prevent at all costs.'

Eren heard Alephee's voice when he was about to say something to Nira. Another of his doubts was confirmed at this point. But the butcher wasn't interested in prophecy at this point. He was not concerned about goddesses. They were a problem for him to solve in the distant future.

What he was concerned about at this moment was Alephee's current location.

'Forget about that goddess, Miss Timeless. There's no need to worry about her here. I'll tap her ass when the time is ripe. One step at a time.

The bigger question is... are you ready?'

Eren asked while being closely watched by Nira Nightshade. The latter chuckled at his comment about the goddess before replying affirmatively.

'Yeah. I found it. Just tell me when.'
