Isekai no Senshi toshite Kuni ni Manekareta kedo, Kotowatte Heishi kara Hajimeru Koto ni Shita - Vol. 8 Ch. 33

[MangaDex]

 

[MontDilanus1343]

This is the lore dump chapter, but it's full of plot ass-pulls.

1. Gods of this world (hate? enjoy psychopathically murdering?) its residents and create divine beasts to genocide them.
   (For "entertainment" per the disembodied voice.)
2. They succeed numerous times, and the remnants of destroyed worlds turn into dungeons (?). Unclear on this point.
3. Humans see dungeons (divine beasts in them) as "Demon Lords", plunge in, attack, fail.
4. Eventually humans scavenge tech and win, redirecting "Divine beast power" (Demon Lord) into armor/weapons.
5. Divine beasts can't die, so gods repeatedly summon people and infect them with "Divine Beast factors".
6. Otherworlders eventually get corrupted and turn into Divine beasts.
7. But in this "cycle", this mastermind villain saps their power with falsified "ritual" so they are weak Divine Beasts.
   (See first dude who turned from a superpowered demon into a weak monkey-orc).
8. Now he absorbs all their power before they turned "corrupted 100%" -- with only MC retaining his power.

This is a LOT of nonsense to dump into one chapter. I wonder if the WN/LN did a better job of unveiling it slowly. Major problem of authors is having some wound up ball of plot yarn in their head and thinking everyone else knows it too.

The only thing I'm taking out of this is the Human kingdoms are lying incompetent sacks of crap. And MC is a pushover for ever trusting them at their word. Goals may align right now, but as even the king said, "Trust is lost at this point".

And someone immature enough to say "But FRIENDSHIP! And I can trust them again!" doesn't deserve to have control of a checkbook; let alone the fate over the lives of seventeen other stranded survivors. I hope it's played straight, but doubt it in a Shonen magazine.

Your first few are misunderstood. No, they succeeded in taking down some of the Demon Lords, scavenging their cells and tech to make weapons like the Dragon Knights and stuff, but Divine Beasts are immortal, so they are still around empowering people with their Factors, for entertainment. The Beasts are empowering anyone that wanders in, because the pollution on this world would kill them instantly otherwise. I don't think any God is still involved.

Skip forward a few chapters.
There sure as heck is one. Disembodied voice kicking off Act 2 for their "children".
I think I was right on the money for the most part.

God wasn't involved in the stuff you were talking about before, it's just the Divine Beasts giving their blessings to people that cross worlds, and being entertained by the choices they make.

The more I read this the more it sounds like plot of Final Fantasy XVI, even this final boss(?) transformation

Analysis pattern confirmed blue. It's an angel!
