Supreme Harem God System - Chapter 2265: Choose.

Chapter 2265: Choose.

“Doubt weakens the shield.

Mockery cracks it.

Disbelief invites the dark.

After constant pushes, if this shield breaks and you are left unprotected—

Do not blame Light.”

Seraphielle spoke directly, and silence fell all over the Universe, especially in the worlds that were part of Light’s Faction, especially the worlds that… held the strongest doubts.

And then, in the middle of panic and tension,

Seraphielle spoke in a soft and steady voice—

“Blame the choice you made.”

And it was terrifying.

With just a few words, the people were pushed down into a spiral of self-blame, and it wasn’t just the mortals. Even Transcendents and Eternals were no different, all fearing what step the Infinity of Light might take next, or how they had deeply disappointed her and it might lead to their end.

Almost all powerless mortals had tears in their eyes, most of them not even understanding what was happening. After all, in the grand scheme of the Universe, their opinion… held no power.

Whether they doubted the Light Infinity or believed in her, it simply did not matter since they couldn’t do anything about it.

They were just powerless.

The only thing they could do was suffer the consequences of the choices their leaders made.

In this case, however, the leaders were no different.

Many—especially those from Light-related worlds—panicked, instantly forcing themselves to kneel no matter where they were or who they were in front of.

After all, the fear of being “left alone” at a time like this was far stronger than whatever pride they held.

Most worlds went quiet instantly, like a bucket of cold water had been dropped on a flickering candle.

And Seraphielle—

She continued slowly as if she had all the time in the Universe.

“From this moment,

Any world that shelters the Anomaly’s agents will be treated as an enemy.

Any organization that spreads his weapons knowingly will be treated as a blade held against the Universe.

And any world that encourages this poison—”

She took a small pause, her tone becoming increasingly more threatening—

“—will learn what it means to live without Light.”

The words settled.

Seraphielle gave a big pause, almost a minute long, almost as if she were giving the worlds time to think and come up with a decision.

Then, once she felt she had given it enough time—

She spoke her last words. This time, her tone became much softer, almost like a gentle mother who was finished scolding her children and had returned to her usual self.

“I did not speak to beg you.

I did not speak to argue with you.

I spoke to remind you of reality.”

The mother took another pause, and then—

“The Anomaly has returned.

He has devoured again.

And he will devour again.”

She spoke as her tone sharpened, this time not at the people, but at the Anomaly.

“So do not help him.

Do not spread his lies.

Do not become his mouth.”

Then, at the very end, her voice became so close it felt like she was whispering directly into every ear.

“Choose.

Stand under Light and be protected.”

Or—

“Stand outside it,

And be alone.”

And after those words, the holy, divine presence that people felt… faded away as Seraphielle’s voice disappeared with it.

There were no grand phenomena, no light falling from the sky, no golden rain, no holy flare.

And yet, the Universe felt… heavier.

For the first few breaths, nothing moved.

Then the first knees hit the ground.

It did not matter if it was a poor farmer in a mud village, or a World Lord sitting on a throne made of crystal.

The same fear crawled into their hearts.

Fear of being left alone.

Of course, there were still some who doubted Light. There were even those whose doubts only strengthened after hearing Seraphielle’s words.

But even those who still doubted Light—

They now doubted in complete silence, because they too felt like the entire Universe was watching them.

And just like that, the instant Seraphielle’s speech was over, the Universe reacted.

On a Medium-Level World that wasn’t part of any of the Factions, a city square filled within minutes.

A giant statue of Light’s banner stood in the center. A banner that had been created just a few minutes ago, and the instant it was created, it had become the center of the world.

Priests that had been spreading the words of Light here for decades and were ignored were now gathered, carrying incense, relics, holy books—anything that… looked like faith.

Soldiers lined the streets and forced silence.

Bells rang until ears hurt.

Then the World Leader arrived.

He stood above the crowd and raised his hand.

He didn’t give a long speech—there was no need to—not after the Infinity of Light herself had spoken.

He just… knelt, like he was supposed to.

And with him, his people did the same.

Thousands.

Tens of thousands.

Hundreds of thousands.

Then millions.

All the foreheads touched the ground.

People prayed, some cried, some did not even know what they were saying—they just repeated the same words again and again because it felt safer than thinking.

“Light protects.”

“Light forgives.”

“Light shields.”

And the priests, who watched the entire world—even the mighty World Leader who had never once spared them a look—kneel in front of them, discovered a new sense of power.

A power that… came from fear.

And this wasn’t happening in just this particular world. It was happening all over the Universe.

In another world, it began differently.

A noble house gathered their family in a private hall. Those “cursed” recordings had been playing in their city for days now, and they had all watched in silence.

But today, those recordings were destroyed, and the nobles stood before their family altar and whispered the name of the Light Infinity like a prayer, begging her for forgiveness.

“Please don’t leave us,”

The eldest said in a shaking voice.

And others followed.

“Oh Lady Light,

Please don’t leave us.”

The prayers continued,

Then suddenly—

“Do you think we’re being watched?”

No one answered that question.

No one knew the answer.

The only thing they did know was… they needed to show their loyalty, even if no one was watching.

Because it was better and safer to think they were being watched than to feel alone.

In the Worlds that were already part of the Light Faction, it was even worse.

They went quiet overnight. Taverns stopped talking. Markets stopped joking. Even children lowered their voices. People still thought about the recordings, they still remembered the screams they heard, but they no longer dared to say anything out loud.

Because Seraphielle’s last words had turned doubt into… danger.

If Light “withdrew protection,” it would not just be a matter of shame. It would be death.

And that was not acceptable—

So people collectively came up with a single decision—

It did not matter if the recordings were true. Because now, they weren’t.

And those who held any doubts whatsoever turned dead silent, because they could sense the state around them—

If they did not stay dead silent—

They would stay… dead.

And with that, after more time passed—

The next “phase” began.

This time, Light wasn’t the one who took the next step. They did not have to.

It was the world.

It started with one High-Level World—one that had always been proud of its loyalty.

Its sky was bright, its cities clean, its temples tall. Its World Lords gathered their council and said something that would have been unthinkable a few weeks ago.

“Send a message to Light.”

“What message?”

A logical question, and the answer to that question was… surprising, to say the least.

“Because we will not be suspected.

Our belief in Light will not be questioned at any cost.

If there are Anomaly agents hiding in our world, we want them dragged out first.”

“Dragged out…?”

Another general asked, not understanding what that meant.

That was when one of the World Leaders made it clear—

“Invite Light’s people to our world.

Request an investigation.

Request them to do a world-wide investigation to search for Anomaly Agents and… use any means necessary, even if it means reading memories of every being in the world.

Anomaly’s agents should not have a home in our world under any case.”

The declaration was made, a declaration that caused a few generals to widen their eyes in surprise.

But…

At this point, they too did not question it.

They just had… one doubt.

“And what if there aren’t any agents at all?”

One of them asked.

“Lady Seraphielle said the recordings were played by Anomaly’s agents.

The recordings were played here too—that has to be an act of an agent.

And if there are indeed no agents, like you say…”

The World Leader paused, and then, after taking a short breath—

“Then we need to prove that too.”
