It was essentially a case of "share glory and share disgrace."
This meant that [Saint] and [Humanity] were bound together by fate, utterly and completely.
And after obtaining the authority of [Human Guardian], [Saint] would naturally unlock a wide variety of powers.
The most fundamental of them was the ability to more easily gain humanity's trust.
And trust was the foundation of faith.
Only by first gaining trust could one obtain faith.

Since ancient times, the legends of gods guiding heroes to save the world had basically all originated from this.
At such times, a god who possessed [Human Guardian] was equivalent to the mouthpiece of the world's will. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they acted under divine decree. The fact that humanity in this world had endured to this day was the result of many factors working together.
