"During this two-year mission phase, if we truly encounter more than one race capable of posing a threat, that means we'll come into contact with even more different civilizations in this world. Seizing their technology, analyzing it, and integrating it will also strengthen us."
"Once this world becomes a Faction Territory, one can imagine the kind of leap in growth we'll achieve. So while this phase of the mission may bring us threats, it will definitely bring us opportunities as well."
"And the mission only requires us to protect this Earth from attack. It doesn't require us to actively attack or eliminate anyone. It could be said that the difficulty of the mission has been reduced in another way as well. With suitable arrangements, it won't be impossible to get through this mission safely."
"With the combined strength of the Federation and DC, as long as we have enough time, our power will become capable of withstanding anything. Fortunately, we brought you along when we came to this world, Char. In the missions ahead, I'm afraid you'll become our true main force."
Char nodded. He understood what Xiao Ran meant: potential for growth. Participants indeed possessed a tremendous advantage that Native inhabitants could not compare with. They grew quickly and faced almost no bottlenecks. As long as they reached a certain level, they could advance.
Yet for the same reason, without Prometheus's help, the threshold for advancement became a locked door. In contrast, although Native inhabitants advanced more slowly and encountered bottlenecks and other such problems, they possessed greater autonomy in their growth.
Xiao Ran had told Char that he, Amuro, and the A-Class Pilots who had come from the 0079 World were not true A-Class Pilots yet. That was because they had not fully developed their abilities and bloodlines.
