Sword God in a World of Magic

This time, many different Paths developed at a similar rate.

And eventually, they found the Archivist again.

For the first time, the Paths didn't restrict the Archivist, but they also didn't get rid of his existing suppressions.

This little kindness was probably the very thing that saved all of humanity.

The Archivist told them about what had happened to all the other Paths in the past, but this time, he told them very directly that they were not powerful enough to oppose the legendary beasts.

They needed to gather more power.

The Paths believed the Archivist, and instead of directly attacking the legendary beasts, they decided to just continue living normally.

Many periods of peace and war passed.

The Paths worked closely together, split apart to fight each other, made peace and worked together, and split apart again.

The political landscape changed rapidly, but one thing remained consistent.

Humanity was becoming more powerful than it had ever been before.

Eventually, the Archivist told them that they were probably powerful enough to fight the legendary beasts.

So, humanity banded together to kill the legendary beasts.

And rapidly killed them without even losing a single person.

It was very underwhelming.

Even the Archivist had been surprised by the sheer power humanity had achieved.

For the first time in nearly six million years, humanity had become the ruler of the world again.

And yet, this was the very thing that turned the world into hell.

With the threat of the super-powerful beasts gone, humanity no longer had any reservations.

War!

Power!

It was a brutal era of bloodshed.
