The reason is that only the hero could defeat the demon lord, and if he dies before that happens, then the demon lord would become unstoppable and the world would still pretty much be destroyed.

(Though it is implied that the truth is more complicated than that.)

The World's Finest Assassin / int_23a1e2a9	comment	Adaptation Deviation: In the light novel and anime, Lugh receives the Tuatha Dé's Special Eyes at seven years-old just before meeting Dia. The manga deviates this by having Lugh's father Cian give his son the Eyes when he's twelve years-old. The anime has a running gag of revealing previous reincarnations who arrived before Lugh, each of them being abysmal failures. In the light novel, it's eventually revealed the Goddess has at least one backup plan in case Lugh becomes a disappointment. The Goddess decides to switch priorities and give more support to the alternative choice. Subverted. Episode 11 apparently had the Goddess did that as well.

The World's Finest Assassin / int_37499c8	type	OnceAnEpisode
The World's Finest Assassin / int_37499c8	comment	Once an Episode: The anime reveals that prior to Lugh, the Goddess has reincarnated professionals from different fields to assassinate the hero. The problem is that each of them has at least one shortcoming that ensures their mission will result in failure. The Goddess summons the World's Best Special Forces Commander, who takes advantage of his newfound life to laze about every day, becoming an obese man in contrast to the muscular one he once was. The World's Strongest Samurai follows the Goddess's orders, but is not that smart. He tries to kill the hero by charging headfirst without any strategy whatsoever. Naturally, he gets killed not long after. The World's Best MC is summoned to drive the hero into suicide, but his rapping antagonizes a whole lot of people who think that he's insulting them. The World's Best Paparazzi is then brought in to discredit the hero but like the samurai, the man Didn't Think This Through, and gets run over by a runaway horse when trying to get a picture of the hero in a hit and run. The World's Best Teacher was also reincarnated by the Goddess, presumably to be The Mentor to the Hero. This implies that Lugh's plan to restrain the Hero rather than kill them has also been tried by the Goddess since the The Mentor would no doubt try to teach the Hero restraint so that they would not be the kind of person who would destroy the world.

The World's Finest Assassin / int_5c300c3b	comment	The Berserker: Berserk is an A rank skill that people can be born with. Berserk greatly enhances the owner's physical strength and magical prowess at the cost of being unable to distinguish friend from foe. Male users gain horns while female users gain a red aura. The Hero Epona Rhiannon has Berserk as one of her 30 skills. It's the skill that will likely lead to her destroying the world, as she becomes murderous and drunk on power in extended combat with demons. She bestowed the skill to Setanta MacNess using My Loyal Knights. Unlike Epona, Setanta is able to retain his sense of reason, likely due to an existing skill he had before gaining Berserk.

Count Venkaur trades the kingdom's military secrets to foreign nations for narcotics that he sells to the subjects of allied nobles. The inhuman suffering he inflicted on troops and citizens, such as those in the neighboring city of Pisear, needed to be punished. Yet Venkaur committed these crimes so his wife, who remained ignorant of these evil dealings, could live in high luxury. It also had the benefit of funding community projects that uplifted the standard of living for his own subjects. Lugh knew it did not excuse the Count's actions, but it gave him understanding why it happened.

The World's Finest Assassin / int_8fac4a3a	type	Superpower Lottery
The World's Finest Assassin / int_8fac4a3a	comment	Superpower Lottery: The Hero has 5 S rank skills and 25 A rank skills. This makes them superhuman and nigh unstoppable as most humans in Alvan have only 1 skill, with a rare few having 2. Lugh also wins it, as the Goddess allows him to pick any 5 skills, one from each rank from D to S, and it's implied one of his skill choices has incredible unforeseen potential.

The World's Finest Assassin / int_950bbfa7	type	Take a Third Option
The World's Finest Assassin / int_950bbfa7	comment	Take a Third Option: Lugh would rather alter the hero's prophecy of turning evil, than assassinate her. The Goddess claims she's fine with a peaceful outcome if he can he pull it off, but expresses considerable doubt on that plan and calculates it reduces his chance of overall success by a significant magnitude.

The World's Finest Assassin / int_96144372	type	Aristocrats Are Evil
The World's Finest Assassin / int_96144372	comment	Aristocrats Are Evil: Averted with the Tuatha Dé, which is antiheroic, and played straight with most (if not all) of everyone else, as the montage in the fifth episode shows that most of the Tuatha Dé's targets are aristocrats. Justified in that the only people usually worthy of attention from a family of Royal Assassins are those with the money or political power to put the kingdom or people in danger. Which, in a medieval time setting, is usually the nobility or the wealthy.

The World's Finest Assassin / int_984ef9ef	comment	"Not So Different" Remark: The reason Lugh considers preventing the Hero from going Drunk with Power rather than just simply assassinating him after he saves the world from the Demon King, as he sees it as no different from the Organization killing him after he outlived his usefulness as well.

The World's Finest Assassin / int_c3448a6f	type	Informed Attribute
The World's Finest Assassin / int_c3448a6f	comment	Informed Attribute: Lugh's plan for starting a cosmetics company as a cover is predicated on the fact that the women that use make-up in this world all suffer from dried, damaged skin due to the use of cosmetics. However, it is virtually impossible to tell which female characters actually wear makeup, and the young ones all have similarly beautiful, silky-smooth faces and skin. The sole exception is Lady Balor, who is portrayed as marginally less attractive and caked heavily in make-up specifically to demonstrate how well Lugh's product works.

The World's Finest Assassin / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: The first episode's title, "Quantum of Trust," sounds just like the name of a James Bond movie. "Allen Smith" lampshades that his alias sounds like someone who makes bad movies. In episode 4 of the anime, a previous attempt by the goddess to recruit a hero, the recruit asks if he can reincarnate as a cute girl with maxxed defenses, so he'll feel no pain, a reference to another SILVER LINK. anime

She just "happened" to need a soul since she was short and took it from another world, she also just "happened" to do a poor job at cleansing it, then she also just happened to give said soul some great skills and abilities.

He catches that last part, realizing he will probably need to watch his guard with her. In the anime, she never said the scale of how many she can cover up. However in the light novel she alludes the upper limit might be two.
