Contrivance

But isn't this a little too forced?

A point sandbag is still a point sandbag, after all.

In fact, my very first thought upon seeing it was: Can things really be copied like this?

So, to properly understand the situation.

Originally, the Demon Realm Kingdom should have been actively running rampant and invading the surrounding areas instead of remaining isolated as it was now,

but if that happened, its location would be exposed, and once it was, the Empire would obviously wipe it out immediately.

So it meant arbitrarily creating another Demon Realm Kingdom to take the hits in its place.

'What kind of absurd contrivance is this?'

This was contrived to an unbelievable degree.

The original plot had to proceed, but the villain who was supposed to appear in it was nowhere to be found...
