More modern day references in the last two chapters than there was in the past 50.
Speaking of....Ah yes the people tripping over themselves to explain why the manga doesnt make sense to their superior intellect after reading over 60 chapters of it. Typical day at mangadex. Some of the "explanations" like the god route were especially funny, it's like wanting the manga to make even less sense and meaning.
Is Corgino overused? Probably. I think it's also equally interesting that he's lasted this long. You gotta give him credit for surviving like a cockroach. In some sense, I can see how in a twisted way he mirrors the MC. He's greedy but he actually works hard for what he has, combined with some fortuitous infusions of power or influence.
And on giving credit, Viscount Bard at least has some honor or sense of responsibility. Sure it's born of desperation and maybe even cowardice, but taking your own life is still probably less cowardly than weaseling out all your co-conspirators.
I will say it was a rather weak premise to use his true level of magic though. Certainly he could have just found a conventional way to send the ringleaders back first. But hiding it in the first place certainly had merits...explained repeated in the previous story, if people would only recall.
The King literally gave that instruction. He doesn't want the country thrown into political strife, not after he's spent his life maintaining it for his heirs, and neither does anyone else at the table. Outing Cain as some kind of demigod would introduce social unrest, difficult foreign relations, political upheaval. All not problems for Cain, but definitely would force suffering on the people. I suppose for some readers it's only important if Cain obtains everything, forget the people, and his wives get to live in a gilded cage. Was it not great Tifana gets to do something?
Simply revealing him and giving him the crown might even force unknown other super beings into meddling in the kingdom's affairs. The King never said it out loud but he's not so naive to have thought Cain to be unique. And he would be right about it, we know there others like Cain.
