"You're talking about human farms? Oh… those things, I found them unpleasant, so I dismantled them all." Litia showed a slight expression of disgust.
"Huh? You found human farms unpleasant?" Wu Chen was momentarily puzzled.
He was opposed to human farms because he himself was human. But Litia, being a witch, how could she be standing on the side of humans?
"That's pretty normal. Although the aesthetics of demons vary greatly, the aesthetics of witches are strangely similar to those of humans."
"When the Mother Goddess created us, this is how she designed us. I'm not sure why the Mother Goddess made us with appearances and aesthetics almost identical to humans."
"Although we are adversaries, seeing creatures that look so much like me being treated as livestock and consumed naturally feels repulsive and disgusting."
"Initially, human farms were well-hidden, and the witches were unaware of them. It wasn't until the human counterattack brought them out into the open that the witches learned of their existence."
"Do you really think that the so-called 'Demon Extermination Order' from the 'Apostles of Gods' alone was enough to completely eradicate the human farms?"
Litia said calmly.
Wu Chen nodded slightly.
He had actually been puzzled about this before. Most of the demons looked nothing like humans, with all sorts of monstrous and terrifying appearances, while humanoid demons were a rare minority.
Yet, the strongest villains all looked like beautiful humans.
If it weren't for their ridiculously strong attributes and magical powers, and except for some witches with special features like animal ears and tails, the witches looked almost identical to humans.
At the time, Wu Chen thought it was just a marketing strategy by the game developers to make the villain bosses into beautiful girls to attract more players.
But since this world was real, the fact that all the witches looked like beautiful human women seemed quite odd.
"Almost all of us witches are single, and that might have something to do with it. Who would want to be with a bunch of disgusting creatures that don't look like us at all?"
"And those human races that we find somewhat pleasing to the eye are too fragile. Usually, just a glance from us can kill them."
If they actually tried to get intimate with a human, even an Onix would get crushed, Wu Chen couldn't help but think to himself.
"Besides, with our clear positions as enemies, it's not like we could ever choose a human as a partner."
"The Mother Goddess created you with a human-like appearance, strong powers, and the ability to withstand us witches without being broken. It must have been to pair us with you, right?"
Litia analyzed to herself, becoming more convinced of Wu Chen's identity as an Envoy of the Mother Goddess.
"Exactly, that's right!"
"Oh, Litia, you're so smart!"
Wu Chen quickly nodded in agreement.
As expected of a villainous boss, her ability to fill in the gaps was on a BOSS level too.
"Hmph, I had already figured it out!"
Litia proudly lifted her head.
"By the way, aside from the influence of the witches, the complete eradication of human farms might also have something to do with a certain goddess."
Although witches could strictly prohibit the establishment of human farms, as long as there were huge profits to be made, there would always be those who would risk their lives to secretly continue the practice.
It would never be possible to completely eliminate them.
But the fact that human farms had been thoroughly eradicated now was likely due to the efforts of another goddess.
"Which goddess?" Wu Chen asked with great curiosity.
In his memory, the goddesses had exhausted most of their energy protecting human territories and rarely took the initiative to strike at the demon domains.
This made him very curious about which goddess could be so powerful.
"Sylvie, please introduce the guest. You should know the most about that goddess."
"It's a bit complicated to explain. Just see for yourself."
Sylvie, usually sparing with words, waved her hand gently. A stalk with sharp, serrated leaves emerged from the soil, slicing a small cut on her pale wrist.
Green blood flowed from the wound, slowly dripping down her wrist.
"Uh... green blood, is there a problem?"
Wu Chen looked bewildered.
He remembered that in the game, everyone had green blood.
Litia condensed a small amount of magical power in her hand and pointed at Sylvie's wound.
The dark purple magical power touched the green blood, and the surrounding air began to rapidly distort, seemingly neutralizing some invisible, unknown force.
As the witch's power completely took over the space around the wound, the green blood gradually changed to bright red, as if the dye had been removed.
"The Goddess of Harmony, who now rules over the elven race. Because of her, the elven birthrate has sharply declined, and their desire to reproduce has dwindled, bringing them to the brink of extinction!"
"And because she rules over the elves, under her divine influence, all elven blood has changed from red to green! Even I can't escape this; only by neutralizing her divine power with witch magic can I temporarily avoid her influence."
"One day, I will defeat her and save the elven race from disaster!"
Sylvie spoke with a serious expression.
Emerald-green magic surged, and the small wound she had just made quickly healed, leaving her smooth skin looking as though it had never been cut.
Wow, so it's that woman who rules the elves. The elves must be in a terrible state.
"I've heard of the Goddess of Harmony's name, but what does she have to do with the eradication of human farms?" Wu Chen asked, puzzled.
"To stop cannibalism, she paid a great price, binding her divine power to the very cause and effect of 'cannibalism.'"
"Whenever a demon engages in cannibalism, a bunch of holy light and blurry mosaics appear."
"Those cannibalistic demons, who enjoy eating bloodily, end up with their food becoming a mass of mosaics mixed with mysterious green substances."
Litia explained.
"No matter how delicious the food might be to them, it's pretty unappetizing when it ends up like that, right?"
"With no market for such food, and with both humans and witches cracking down on it, the killing naturally stopped."
Um? Is there such a saucy operation?
