A sound faction could not have too few people in its middle and upper ranks.

Under Naimus's command, excluding the high-ranking demons in the Demon territory, Kru was the only one on the Azure Sky Whale capable of fighting those peak Golden Breeds.

No one else had such advantages.

At this stage, resources like earthgrass, which did not excessively contaminate one's values yet could rapidly raise them, were exactly what the Fictional Protocol needed most.

To him, this patch of earthgrass might even be more precious than the Earth God Fruit.
