Well, I now understand why the previous guy had such ridiculous magic. It seems they read some books that had the knowledge already, though I do wonder about who wrote it and what their goals were with the whole mental corruption. I mean, seriously, first guy we meet besides Yuuji wants to kill all the humans in the world and the mental corruption forces him to pursue that goal. Maybe the book is from before a reset by a true dragon? Very weird world.

Have to agree with the commenter last chapter. If these antagonists where half as capable as they appeared to be, their goals would have already been completed.
the local governments feel weak, the faculty of the academy seem more self-destructive then knowledgeable, and the adventurers guild seems utterly subverted.
About the only other person on the planet that seems to be able to stand up to the "bad guys" is a single priest from the local religion.
So are the villains of these piece just so inept that they can't even accomplish their goals despite having all the power and resources needed to do so?

Maybe they all support destroying the world using a 'true dragon', but they also all, individually and secretly, want to survive the ordeal which means they're all delaying it to search for a way to survive.

My best guess is that the mental corruption is solely tied to one's goal and not dispellable in the typical fashion; just to keep that from being an "exploitable" loophole. If I were the one writing, the solution towards dispelling would be having Credo change or alter his goal, such that it then removes on its own.Hmm, I wonder if Yuuji would be able to dispel the mental corruption that's on Credo.I wonder what would happen.

The villains exist for the protagonist to overcome. Unfortunately, it's a style of writing that a lot of authors go with, even though it makes little logical sense.

After the last arc, and now this, I can't keep reading this. Power creep and terrible villains has my eyes rolling too much.

well that dragon yuji talked to/befriended was reasonable but i would just assume the 'dragons resetting' the world was just like the cycle of life/balance or so even if they don't purge every human but it'd be kinda hard to completely genocide humans or so but you'd think it'd be less cliche of a goal
maybe he'll just turn into some bookworm /eccentric supporting yuji or 'admiring him' like teaf/the other classmates did

Wait, are you telling me that Yuuji's emotionless face wasn't because the author sucks at drawing facial expressions but was actually a deliberate design choice this whole time? That's crazy. If anyone had ever said this to me about the MC before this chapter I would've never believed them.

I don't think we'll ever get information on this, but I wonder what was the consciousness that MC dispelled right before he read the book. It doesn't seem like it was the cause to his lack of corruption.

Wasn't it stated that the church is actually way more powerful than it seems on the surface? It's not just a single priest but an entire hidden branch that is at that level.
Also, I think the implication from everything we've seen so far is that all the evil organizations are held back by their own members constantly backstabbing, killing, sacrificing, cursing, etc. each other. The lab clearly only functions at the highest level because the mental corruption curse of the book of ethos prevents upper level members from harming each other.
I personally think that the book of ethos was originally meant to be used by people who recognized the threat of the true dragons, and since they can't really be permanently destroyed, that would ensure their loyalty to the cause of saving the world from true dragons so they wouldn't misuse the magic in the book, like a sworn oath backed up with magic. The evil organizations all clearly started as true dragon countermeasure organizations, but somewhere along the way "make hard but necessary sacrifices" turned into "every sacrifice we make is justified" and it's now spiraled out of control into a bunch of narcissists, sadists, and psychopaths killing indiscriminately, even among themselves.

He was corrupted, he just met the condition to end the corruption immediately because his desire to destroy black companies from the world is technically already fulfilled because black companies don't exist in this world, only back on earth.
We probably won't get info on the consciousness he dispelled until he finds out the origins of the book or org tho, not that he cares enough to investigate it lol
