But back then, Gutaf had no idea that Demons "had to die."
He didn't even know that sacrificing a part of his Soul would turn one into a Demon. This was the wilderness of the Inner World, after all.
Back then, he wasn't the master strategist players thought him to be. In reality, he did many things in a rush, leaving many loopholes. Otherwise, others wouldn't have been able to seize the opportunity and reverse the game's mode.
To design the King's Game, Gutaf had indeed broken the balance between two forces that had already merged, choosing order to take the dominant role.
But this was clearly not what the "Empire" wanted to see, so they forced him to break the balance again, letting the Devouring Force take control.
The Nulis Federation was merely the muscle they put on the front lines.
Ever since Superpowers appeared in the game, actively pushed by the players, the dominant side of the merging forces has been continuously tilting toward the Devouring Force.
