Chapter 75: Damn, the Prompt Device Let Me Down Again
A smile inevitably appeared on the girl's face when she heard Russell's reply.
But after thinking it over from every angle,
she brought up something else instead.

The land of Terra lay somewhere between the people's view of history and the hero's view of history.
—Powerful heroes could influence the outcome of a war, but they could not alter the rise and fall of a nation. While armies formed of ordinary people could contend with heroes, the enormous disparity between individuals meant that ordinary people had no choice but to bow their heads when facing hero-class units.
To implement even a somewhat humane system here, a hero-class unit needed to step forward.

Even Theresis, who killed old lynxes like chopping vegetables, would hesitate before him.

But that depended on that whole Hades skill set.
Elysia still hoped...
that the protector could look a little more like a normal person.
"Learning my skill set consumes a lot of Honkai energy. And if you want to store enormous amounts of Honkai energy, your adaptability needs to be raised to at least Pardo's level."
