Except for the upper echelons of the society, others were still unaware of the war that took place in the Southern Ocean region.
It was truly a frightening war, though it looked easy due to Alex and Athena's presence, the foot soldiers fought with all their might.
It was a bitter experience for them to fight against the alien army as many of them had never come in contact with Darkness creatures.
What followed the war wasn't peace, but brutal bloodshed all over the world. Alex had mistakenly thought that he had gotten rid of the God of Darkness but after killing Leia for a second time, he knew that things weren't as calm as they were on the surface.
As someone of his status, it can be considered taboo to invade others' privacy as he wouldn't like others except his family members to do so but with things on the line, Alex was forced to cross that line.
