Humanity's Problem

Humanity was anything but a good employer.

Humanity, Gaia, or rather, the Counter Force—whenever they faced a major crisis, they did indeed send someone to deal with it.

Humanity's heroes and Gaia's monsters would appear as needed to resolve the problem, but they could just as easily overplay their hand!

The forces they dispatched against a crisis were always just enough to solve the problem, precisely enough to barely clear the line.

For example, if a test was worth a hundred points, they would only answer questions worth sixty, ignoring everything else!

They calculated every expense carefully, using every bit of money and power only where it was absolutely necessary. As for anything that was not essential, they simply did not care.

Either they ignored it outright, or they had employees already burdened with duties they absolutely had to fulfill deal with the problem along the way. They would never invest additional strength, nor would they worry whether the employees sent to solve the problem might perish halfway through.

In the FZ World where Mo Li lived, when Gaia and Alaya—Humanity—faced the Beast Servants summoned by Gudako, the Human Evil, they had borrowed the holy sword, yet all the Servants had ultimately been beaten down.

If Mo Li, their strongest combatant, had not shown that he was incapable of turning the tide, they would never have granted him the status of World Guardian or provided him with power to strengthen him.

Gudako, the Human Evil, knew this well. No one understood her own boss's temperament better than she did. But Ritsuka Fujimaru, that wealthy, lucky Human Good, did not yet understand it. Though she had heard Human Evil mention it, she had not truly grasped how it manifested.

The Lion King, however, understood it perfectly.

"King."
