This'll probably be the last time I post in this thread just because it's driving me nuts scrolling up and down this thing so far just to look back at the post I'm responding to. >_<

Anyway.

@Altom

1) I neither stated, implied, nor even assumed such a barrier was possible. There's the possibility it isn't. I have no idea. Since when is, "Well, it miiiiiiight not be possible," an acceptable excuse to not attempt something?

2) Stating that "they didn't have enough time" in the previous ages implies they tried. For all we know, they never succeded specifically because they never made the attempt. I highly doubt we'll get a canon answer on that because I doubt KC's put that much thought into it.

3) According to KC, the Order is more advanced in most studies, including magic, than mamono.

Mimiru was specifically recruited as a child because she was a prodigy(evidently incredibly powerful), casting spells most adults had difficulty with. She did not "get her ass kicked" by the baphomet (at least, going by Fallen Brides, which KC tells us is not canon but also happens to be the only source we have for the encounter), she just straight up did not fight. She didn't put up any sort of attempted defense because the Order had basically broken her to the point where she was all, "Screw you guys!  🖕😠🖕" All the Baphomet had to do was say what Mimiru wanted to hear at that point.

4, 5, and...7? o_O ) Of course there would be difficulties. I fail to see why "It would be difficult" is a good reason to not invest in actual defensive measures. If the Order's not willing to invest in genuine defenses (better walls, magical barriers, what have you) because, "Gosh, it's not a guaranteed fix," or "Well golly gee; if we were to do that, our enemies might attack us," they deserve the cum-soaked fate that awaits them.

Mind you, I personally rather like the fact that all of humanity's lookin' at some much needed genetic upgrades in KC's world.
