Overgeared

The world was turned upside down as the people successfully interpreted Grid’s epic.

『 The gap between the legends of the previous generation and the current generation is gone... 』

Their shock was great. They never dreamed that the people of this age would be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the legends of the previous generation. It was natural. The feats of the legends were literally beyond common sense. Muller’s achievement in sealing the 9th ranked great demon, Hell Gao, all by himself, was a prime example. It was an area that players could never reach.

Yet Grid’s epic made it clear. The distinction between the previous generation and the present was gone.

『 I never imagined that this day would come. It is amazing! Great! I am so proud!! Now the main subject of Satisfy is reborn from NPCs to players!! 』

The number of legends in the present day was seven. Five of them were players. In the future, these five players would exert great influence as the strongest in the world. People had great anticipation for Satisfy which they would use to change their future. They were terrified every time the great demons appeared and were tired of being oppressed by the stuffy rules created by the NPCs. From now on, it would be the legends that would protect the peace, not the NPCs with medieval concepts. Satisfy would become freer than the past. People were forced to welcome the growth of legends.

However, experts warned that they shouldn’t have hasty expectations.

『 It is Grid who removed the distinction between the previous generation and the present. It means it is highly likely that it is only Grid who has grown to the limit, not all the legends of the present day. In fact, the legendary assassin and Bow Saint have just been born. It is unreasonable to interpret it as all legends achieving a complete growth. 』

『 The world isn’t safe from all types of disasters, including the great demon. It is too much to become confident that the world’s subject has become players. There won’t be the sudden change expected by the public. It isn’t good to have expectations. Only disappointment will grow. 』

The thing that most players sought from the game was fun and profit. They were tired and disgusted by the great demons who threatened the stage of their actions. The first reason they were delighted to hear that the legends of the present age had grown to match the previous generation’s was because they believed it would be easier to defeat the great demons.

However, the atmosphere of public opinion cooled when the experts presented their pessimistic analysis. Broadcasters from all over the world refuted the audience.

『 Isn’t it still great to feel expectations if Grid becomes stronger alone? I think there will be many scenes of Grid raiding a great demon alone? 』

『 Yes, if it is a low ranking great demon, then Grid alone is enough to raid it... 』

『 There is a record that the former legend, Muller, sealed the 9th great demon, Hell Gao. Doesn’t that mean that even high ranking great demons aren’t Grid’s opponent? For example, there is Beleth who was defeated by Grid some time ago. 』

『 Hahaha, Muller is the one who is considered the strongest among legends. Who other than Muller can seal a great demon alone? Even Demon Slayer Alex wasn’t able to leave behind the achievement of defeating a high ranking great demon. Isn’t this placing too much expectations on Grid? 』

『 However, Grid has the power to frequently break common sense... 』

『 Of course, Grid is great. He has shown tremendous growth to the point where I wonder if Grid is stronger than Pagma. It is really admirable, but everyone has limits. Grid isn’t Superman. Don’t you think your expectations will be a big burden on Grid? In the first place, the great demons are indispensable villains in Satisfy. They are ordeals that players must face and overcome. Do you plan to always pray that someone else will solve it? 』

Grid was strong. The best.

However, just as everyone had limitations, there were inherent limitations to the Pagma's Descendant class. It was reprehensible that they were planning to be cruel to Grid just because he was strong. The experts had analyzed Grid for several years and unknowingly became fans of Grid.
