Reiger never considered himself a good person.
Although he would offer so assistance to those who are suffering within his ability, he would not risk his life for unrelated people when it was beyond his capability.
If it was necessary to let soone die, Reiger would not suddenly be overco by a savior complex and act recklessly, causing harm to himself or those around him.
Simply put, he had empathy, but not excessive sympathy. Even if innocent people died miserably before him, he wouldn’t sentintalize it as his responsibility, thinking that his inaction caused their tragedy, and blaming himself for it.
Therefore, he could offer help in places he considered trivial, like helping refugees in the prose territory, while also ignoring deaths, like Yaga Masamichi and that Knight once tainted by the Abyssal Aura, refusing to save them.
In other words, his action or inaction was based more on rational consideration than emotional impulse.
Thus, Reiger never unnecessarily stood on a moral high ground to accuse the villains he had encountered, choosing only to mock or ridicule them verbally when he felt like it.
Under such circumstances, Reiger rarely showed his deep-seated disgust towards a person or people.
Because he was well aware that he didn’t have the position or right to do so.
However, when it ca to the fairies in this alternate record, Reiger always exhibited a blatant disgust.
The reason was simple: rarely did anyone or any group act with such repulsive malice as these fairies did.
Reiger had encountered many evil individuals before.
From distant people like Kibutsuji Muzan to closer ones like Ryonsukuna, all of them were purely evil.
As for the demon lords of the abyss, it could be said that from the source’s perspective, they were indeed evil, but from their own side, they might not be.
In Reiger’s view, the demon lords of the abyss were more aggressors, veneration of violence, rather than true evil beings.
True evil should be like Kibutsuji Muzan and Ryonsukuna, creating tragedy and slaughter for personal desire.
Compared to them, the gradually inhuman Bone Diety wasn’t pure evil, as he only lost human emotions but held those loyal to the Nasalik Underground Tomb in high regard, working for its benefit, not his own. Seeing him as an alien being, it was just a matter of differing perspectives.
Therefore, despite having different principles, Reiger would still trade with Bone Diety and profit from him, rather than detest or reject him, even less so to eliminate him.
Even with Kibutsuji Muzan and Ryonsukuna, though they caused many tragedies and slaughters, being erratic and violent to the extre, Reiger only considered them deserving of death, not to the point of detesting them.
But the fairies of this alternate record were different; Reiger couldn’t help but find them disagreeable.
Their massacres and tragedies were built on seemingly absurd reasons, with no self-awareness or remorse, making it all the more sickening.
Starting from the six Fairy Ancestors fourteen thousand years ago to now, the fairies have continuously perpetrated the sa evil and cri, incomprehensible to anyone.
To put it bluntly, even a pig should have evolved so intellect and reason over fourteen thousand years.
And the fairies?
Their evil and cris have consistently repeated, growing more severe and hopeless.
Crucially, their target wasn’t just other races, not just humans, unrelated to perspectives.
Their blades and evil could turn on those around them at any ti, even if that person was their closest kin.
It might be a whim or a sudden impulse that turns them into demons, pouncing on any living being nearby.
And it brought them nothing but a little thrill, so entertainnt, a negligible joy.
Biting the hand that feeds?
Ungrateful?
In their understanding, perhaps they don’t even recognize what "gratitude" or "emotion" is.
All they see is themselves, or rather, satisfying themselves is the most important thing.
In Reiger’s eyes, it had surpassed evil into being less than a desire.
"From the start, this Britain was an erroneous existence."
Reiger suppressed his inner disgust and spoke to the speechless crowd.
"Since the six fairies poisoned Cornus and propagated upon its corpse, everything here has been wrong."
