Because he created them. Who do you think gave Aladdin his mission, btw?

It seems to be common knowledge at least amount magicians. As for Ugo, he never really told Aladdin anything, instead leaving him to learn on his own. You know this.

Spoiler for new chapter:

Ultimately you can see in this chapter that what Aladdin is doing is pointless. He's now using his overwhelming powers to crush the humans' fighting spirit. Yes, he's not killing anyone, but ask yourself, can Aladdin really make a peaceful world by this method, by literally forcing people to peace with his almighty power? Of course not. People isn't going to change just because you force them to change. And that's provided Reim is really going to retreat, which I doubt. No one likes to be put down like that. Aladdin's not creating peace by doing this, just resentment.

That's what I liked about the Balbadd arc so much. Alibaba managed to turn the tables in his country without forcing his views on the people. He didn't even force Kougyoku to accept his proposition either. Of course, Aladdin's position isn't as favorable as Alibaba's that time. But I always thought Balbadd was a presedent about how you can't never achieve a real change by force. I mean, you can fight the big baddies and such, but the people won't accept your views just because you're powerful.

Anyway, rather than Aladdin, I'm more interested on what Alibaba's going to do now. Also, it would be pretty cool if the Kou army chooses this moment to make their entrance.
