But what causes corruption?

We do not have much information about the past ages. Actually absolutely none. But there is no indication that corruption of this kind has existed in the past. But why is it so now?

We have one clue. And that is the existence of the Mamono. You ask me why? Very simple. Mamono should not exist.

It is written that the Demon Lord (DL) affects all monsters with his/her mana. Both body and mind. But in my opinion this transformation is going too far. Even if I hybridize a dragon with a succubus, it would not look like a Mamono-dragon. It would look more like an Argonian. But all Mamono look like a Succubus. All Mamono are 90 % Succubus and only 10 % own race. Something can not be right there.

Besides, all Mamono are female. When the current Demon Lord took over, all female monsters should have looked more like a succubus and all male monsters should have looked more like an incubus. More, not completely like! But instead, all male monsters have become women. This can not be explained by the actually weak influence of the Demon Lord mana. There must be another reason.

My theory. The DL has done something. She probably used her power to change the structure of magic and forced the transformation. That caused the corruption. She has destroyed the balance of magic and caused the corruption.

And I do not think she can implement her plan, even if she defeats the main goddess. But I already wrote that a comment before. To repair this damage, if that is possible at all, requires an extreme amount of energy. (Should I now do more self-promotion for my story? No. Not now.)

Technically, we would need one of those cliched anime ends. Solve all problems with the power of friendship. Year! But seriously. A solution is anything but easy. You can not kill the DL so easily. That would at best transform the Mamono back into monsters. In the worst case, the damage to the magical structure is already so great that something very bad happens. Of course, it could also be that the Mamono do not transform back, but that did not solve the problem.

In addition, the solution must somehow ensure that humans and Mamono can live together in peace. Somehow you would have to change the magical structure again. But not to restore the old structure, but to create a new equilibrium.

What do you think? What's your opinion?
