Background / History

During the Great Nirvana, Hong and Thunder God emerged among humanity's peak powerhouses. They established the Limit Martial Hall and Thunder Martial Hall respectively, consolidating human strength and helping establish the base-city order during the struggle against monsters. 30

By the events surrounding Kangaroo Valley and the Automaton Race relic, Hong is recognized as Earth's strongest human and the master of the Limit Martial Hall. His arrival with Thunder God is enough to unsettle Lord Rank beings and silence the entire valley. 185 215
