Something interesting Nico mentions in this update is that all the strongest people in the Hero, and even outside of it, don’t rely only on getting stronger through straightforward evolutions. In her case, she has the Hexenringe, but she also says the other captains have similar special tools or mechanisms that boost their power.
So what would the MC have?
I keep thinking his main “tool” might be the memory abilities, but those don’t seem particularly useful for direct combat… Outside of that, he has some body modifications like the monster heart, certain absorptions, items from the shopkeeper, etc. But none of these feel like a concrete, defining power source. Honestly, the impression is that all of this just translates into stat boosts.
Ella definitely had abnormal things in her body to have that kind of overwhelming power.
So what do you think he could develop in the future beyond that?
