"Well, if everything I brag about comes true, how can you accuse me of promoting hero worship? I'm just being realistic here."
During the God King's rule, the entire Witch World had only one voice, and that was the will of the God King himself. The whole world was crafted around the God King at its center, and it was only with such unified and concerted effort that the Witch World managed to survive the initial and toughest era.
However, it's clear that the new generation of witches can no longer empathize with their ancestors' hardships. They just think the God King is cold and heartless.
Many young witches looking back on the era of the God King feel that that period was so dark and bloody. They believe the God King went too far in his authoritarianism, asserting that he was so obstinate and indifferent, sometimes furthering his agenda at the cost of human lives, completely disregarding the well-being of those below him, a thorough tyrant indeed.
