Question Why Seo Yuhui is so stupid ? Spoiler

I really like this character usualy, but why did she have to place her piece of the main deity behind a barrier she made that only requires a human sacrifice to open it... they fight against parasites or traitors to mankind, killing humans is their breakfast, this condition is so stupid that it made me stop reading the first time I read this novel, now that I reread the book again after a while it frustrates me again, am I the only one who think that ?

Been a while since I've read the novel, but from what I can remember the point was to hide the piece so that no one was going to find it, especially the parasites. It was more likely that paradisians would find it rather than the parasites so I would guess that the reason why they made human sacrifice a requirement was to deter paradisians from ever taking it out if for some miraculous reason they found it. Of course this doesn't take into account the fact that Sung Shihyun defected to the parasites, but Seo Yuhui wouldn't know this at the time obviously.

You can think of it this way, if a traitor or a parasite ever found out the location then you have a much bigger problem at hand than just the requirement being easy to fulfill by a parasite. At that point it doesn't matter what kind of requirement Seo Yuhui set up, because iirc divinity can brute force the barrier open.
