Up above the skies of the world for all to see, the image of the Pope, High Priest Randals, Yuthia, and Sei could be seen.
Yuthia chuckled as she clenched her fist, causing the light spear to shatter into balls of light. "You seem to be wanting to take the easy way out, but I am sorry I can not let you die so easily. You see, the people of this continent need to know the lies your theocracy has been spewing out of their mouths all these years. How the very goddess they were worshipping was a beastkin while they were causing harm to their goddesses race. At first, I only let you do as you pleased because I saw no harm. I will admit that I am far from being a saint.
"I am not someone anyone should be worshiping. Sadly I did not realize, no, I ignored all of your actions over these thousands of years. I allowed the new beastkins of this continent to become slaves. Being forced to do unspeakable things against their wills. Some were forced to give birth just to see their children raised as cattle to be sold off. Or worse, forced to watch as their child is killed.
"Humans of this continent were brainwashed by your ideology and all done under my name. To all races of this world who have suffered at the hands of the Yuthia Theocracy or its worshippers, I sincerely apologize. I know a single apology will never make up for the cruel things done under my name. I know this. And I do not ask for your forgiveness. Just know here and now that I will at least give some of you peace of mind. I will no longer tolerate any actions done under my name or allow slavery of any race. I will be staying in the mortal world as part of my own punishment to ensure that this never happens again.
"I only ask of you all to not hate each other based on race. Skin or body parts should not be a factor in why you hate someone. Humans, beastkins, Elves, Fae, Dwarves, all races… Each and every one of you who lives on this world should be treated equally. I know my words will not change much. But I hope at the very least you will think twice before committing the acts that have caused this world to almost be destroyed.
"Everyone has their own beliefs, but if those beliefs cause you to harm your neighbor just because they might have ears on top of their head or a tail sporting from their backside, then you should accept the consequences when those you scorn, rise up and lord over you.
"As of today, this man, the now former pope of the Yuthia Theocracy, will now be forced to endure the shame and humiliation that he condoned and allowed his followers to do under my name. He will be locked in a pit and kept alive as monsters from the wild do the same things that were done to the beastkin that were enslaved. This is only what he will be forced to do at night. During the day, he will be forced to do hard labor and will help to rebuild the homes of those who lost everything in this war. His punishment will last all eternity. An eternity where he will be forced to make up for his sins. "
Yuthia finally paused and looked over at High Priest Randals. When High Priest Randals saw Yuthia's cold expression, he couldn't help but shiver. "This man will be put to death by way of public execution. Until that time, he will be stripped and put on display. He will be brought to every village, town, and city where those who wish to vent their anger can do so.
"With all that said: let me say once more: that I, Yuthia the Moon Fire Goddess, apologize for everything that was done under using my name." Yuthia bowed her head deeply. Sei did the same.
The world watched as Yuthia and Sei bowed their heads. Some wished that she would be punished as well for her lack of interference. Some took her words to heart while others just did not care. Many races not just humans did not like the fact that slavery was about to be abolished world wide. But they did not dare go against those who were more powerful, this was just how this world worked.
As things carried out quickly on Yuthia's side, Kiliffia and the ones who stayed back were working hard to clean up the remaining undead and devils. Without the ability to raise more undead the numbers were quickly diminishing. In a matter of hours with the help of the realm of gods the last of the devils were wiped out and all the undead finally stayed dead.
Kiliffia wished she could go and search for her father to see if he had actually survived, but right now as the commander of the army she had no choice but to be present while things were finishing up.
Kana and Naru went around to every country on the Munas continent to make sure no death element was left. They did not want anyone going mad and trying to cause another incident like this again. Creige and Camlia both followed her around as she did. Camlia seemed to be bent on staying around Kana for a while. Kana did not mind this since having the queen of hell as her older sister was not bad. Even if her older sister looked younger than her.
"That seems to be it..." Kana said as she patted Naru on the head. "Thanks for the hard work Naru."
"Hehe. It was nothing..." Naru answered bashfully. Aoi just stared at him and humphed.
"What do you plan to do next?" Creige asked.
"Well I need to finish my trial. Then I can come back to this world. I also want to bring back a few friends I left behind. Criege, will you come with me?" Kana asked as she reached out and took his hands. She looked up at him with expectant eyes.
"If that is you wish. Then I will go." Creige leaned down and kissed Kana's lips.
"Hey hey! I know you two are married and all but remember this young lady is still standing here. Plus I am coming with you too. Where Kana goes her big sister will go too!" Camlia shouted as she got in between the two.
Creige frowned and Kana let out a laugh as she said: "Alright we will head back for now. We need to make sure everything else goes smoothly before we can leave."
The post war clean up took almost an entire year. With this came many changes to the Munas continent and even the world..
