The fact that Eldra will just watch people get sold into slavery, or even just watch the MC get their *** kicked for trying to do the right thing increases her bum-ness.
I'm sorry, I'm calling bullshit on that. I know Rasen is better than most of the other countries, but saying that it's a place where there is more good than evil is horse crap XD.
Also on the topic of slavery even emperors failed the whole royal family failed too. Eldra being the strongest doesn't mean when 5-6 S tiers can jump her or how a fight with top tiers would kill even more people so you achieved nothing if you end killing more people in the name of saving people it's a balance in AC even the exalts can't do a lot with their own kingdom otherwise the land they belong to will simply go to war with them and regardless of whoever wins it will be devastating it's the biggest reason why change is so hard to do Eldra is not some 9999999 ap god lol.Try to say no to slavery and watch another war where millions die in a day.
Wild lands have the most Slaves and they are just former warriors it is just warriors whose life in AC that is full of danger the laborers aren't on average getting in danger.
There are literally too many top tiers in Rasen.
It's not like Eldra hasn't freed slaves or even fake things on people who were hunted so they can live.
It's simply one person lol who regardless of how great they are has to get stronger each time and can also die like when she sacrifices her life every time it is to save people only.
Being an archon allows her freedom to do good a lot when she is on her duty freeing slaves or killing evil without worrying about politics.
There have been only 2-3 times when Eldra has been in a position to even have enough sway other times she has died before 40 or even 25
Saving a town or city making sure no one else dies fighting something that is way stronger than her at that time if she didn't care she would simply leave and would focus on bigger picture that she needs to reach peak power but no she helps with what is in front of her too and she isn't gonna let a million get slaughtered in front of her or let many martial artists die when she can take that burden.
When she is watching slaves being sold in front of her many times she will simply meet the buyer later and buy it from them you have to understand she cannot do that in front of people many times the slaves are people who a lot of times deserve this too former bandits to former slavers themselves.Plus the fact openly doing something like that makes brings too much attention to it.She has failed enough times when she has tried to confront things directly.
As for good and evil in rasen ,I mean that is literally how it is tho it tho even wild lands don't touch their mortals infact no one in Rasen inner kingdom does except cursed lands and even there it is not officially done. Idk what you even expect here super powered demi gods in AC usually fight and kill each other even the evil tyrants don't go around killing people that's just how the verse is.
Mao is not a good man and yet he follows the rules lol even if he didn't have to its one of the things that many simply do even though outer lands are quite lawless because of barely having anything permanent .So idk man calling bullshit on something that is literally part of the verse most of the slaves in wild lands are simply fallen warriors so life and death fighting is only for warriors and people with Aura.Non martial artists live a simple life it's also one of the reasons why many simply don't bother with Cultivation in rasen because it you do then you have actual problems to worry about from Beasts to other things while you have to keep training to become stronger.Anon has explained this in detail multiple times.
If mao lost and Bangle enslaved our Village that wasn't the norm Sunbringers are just evil dudes lol and this was only possible because we are too far away from main lands.
So laborers aren't the ones who are becoming slaves in general it's former warriors, bandits etc.
Also saying protecting the few thing doesn't work in AC the majority aren't slaves the majority is laborers who are protected a warrior's whole job is to do that a laborer of one place getting killed by marital artist of a different place means now the head warrior will take revenge of his laborer.
I think you simply have misunderstood the structure in AC slaves make very small part of the people and most of them aren't former laborers.This isn't like most Cultivation stories the worst place to live is cursed lands which is like the average Cultivation story place. The laborers in general simply don't cultivate because of how dangerous the life of a warrior is or how much they have to train and how much the innate potential matters.
Eldra has been an exalt once and was schemed to death so no matter how powerful one is they still are limited she has participated in exalt comps to improve lands as early she could when she was only 13k ap in those lives but it's hard to win against 19k ap people.So she has died multiple times for doing something right in the moment as well as trying to change the bigger picture but when she is in mystic lands or Sacred she doesn't even try to be exalt simply because the place is good and doesn't need that.
While for cursed and wild she has tried it and small changes have happened yet the people of Cursed especially just ain't gonna let it happen being the strongest doesn't protect your from getting schemed to death really and exalt system is only 900 years old before this the rasen royal family was there which had multiple people over 20k ap anyways and even the emperor himself couldn't make bladed lands change their ways.Sacred and mystic are good places, while blades is rigid it is safe as hell for laborers,wild is harsh for warriors and weak and has rampant slavery but they can rise.Cursed lands are indeed Cursed.
