The world keeps spinning regardless of who is missing—Outsiders are no exception, and countless ordinary human beings are the same. Someone once remarked that human history is a history of warfare; perhaps that view is somewhat biased, yet it is enough to prove one thing: endless greed leads to endless strife.
As mortals desiring to become immortals, rooted to the earth yet yearning for the heavens, this stems from the fact that divine or immortal beings inherently stand absolutely superior to humanity. No matter who they are or how loudly they profess their faith in God, this is something no human being will ever allow to happen.
If a heavenly path truly existed in this world, then the day the common enemy of all mankind was eliminated and the path to the heavens was completely opened, countless people would scramble frantically to seize that sole authority to reign above all mortals. Regardless of the outcome, the ones who would ultimately suffer are the common people of the world.
