The backbone of an empire!
Barring any surprises, Seraphina is pretty much the definition of a god-tier Combat Hero!
Not only does she have insanely high HP and top-tier attack and defense stats, but she's also immune to Level 1–3 magic!
On top of that, Venomous Dragon Breath is an AoE attack that covers a massive area—an incredibly rare trait. After all, even if it's just a splash damage AoE, it's coming from none other than a Legendary Unit, the Green Dragon!
Lower-tier units don't stand a chance. One attack, and they're wiped out in droves!
She's basically a walking weapon of mass destruction.
And that's not even the scariest part—her hero talent, Green Dragon Commander, directly boosts the base attack and defense stats of Green Dragons, a Tier 13 unit.
The max boost? A whopping 33%!
That's absolutely insane!
With a 33% boost to attack and defense, the Green Dragons under Seraphina's command could very well become the strongest Tier 13 unit in the game!
Even the so-called "beings closest to the gods", the Tier 13 Demons and Angels—both known as demigods—might struggle in a one-on-one fight against her buffed Green Dragons. It could honestly go either way.
And that's terrifying.
Because Tier 13 Demons and Angels are universally recognized as the strongest Tier 13 units. In battle, they're known for pulling off insane feats—taking on two, sometimes even three enemies of the same tier at once! Their power is absolutely monstrous. That's exactly why they're called demigods, why they're seen as the closest beings to true divinity.
True gods—those belong to the Tier 14 Mythic Units, the literal divine entities of this world. Earning the title of demigod is an honor in itself, a testament to their overwhelming strength.
And maybe that's exactly why Seraphina was rated as a Crimson Ultimate by the system.
Because in the world of Glory Lords X, Crimson Ultimate heroes have a terrifying nickname—
Gods.
Literal gods walking among mortals.
And just to be clear, this isn't some title made up by players from Earth. This is what the natives of Glory Lords X have called them for ages. To them, a Crimson Ultimate hero is a god. The only ones who can stand on equal footing with them? Other Crimson Ultimate heroes—or, at best, the rulers of entire nations.
As for Cicero, the only one ranked even higher than Seraphina by the system?
He's the textbook definition of a god-tier Logistics and Strategic Hero!
First off, his hero talent, Vast Knowledge, represents unparalleled intelligence. And intelligence? That's just another form of power. Plus, the ability to attract scholars to his side? That's an insanely powerful strategic talent. The longer the game goes on, the greater the benefits.
Then there's Green Dragon Affinity—an absolutely broken SSS-tier Strategic Hero talent.
To put things into perspective: in Glory Lords X, recruiting a Legendary Unit like a Tier 13 Green Dragon costs a minimum of 12 million gold, plus several hundred units of rare resources.
In other words, thanks to Cicero's hero talent, every time Ethan successfully recruits a Green Dragon, he saves at least 3.6 million gold and dozens of rare resources.
What kind of insane advantage is this?!
Just the gold and rare resources saved from recruiting one Green Dragon could be used to train 45 Silver Pegasus Knights under Elynn!
That's a Tier 8 unit!
No matter where you are, that's a core force to be reckoned with!
And that's just from recruiting one Green Dragon.
Over time, the difference in resources will snowball into an astronomical gap!
At that point, even if some other player from Earth managed to get their hands on a Tier 13 Legendary Unit and an independent fortress in the wild,
—even without Seraphina, his god-tier Combat Hero—
Ethan could still crush them effortlessly!
It wouldn't even be a challenge. It'd be like a dad spanking his kid—easy, effortless, and completely one-sided.
That's the true terror of a god-tier Logistics and Strategic Hero!
A slow, steady snowball effect.
Like boiling a frog in warm water.
And beyond that, this kind of advantage could literally serve as the foundation of an entire nation!
The backbone of an empire!
Ethan could barely contain his excitement. Hugging the two little ones close, he grinned.
"Alright, let's go grind some levels!"
Right now, both of his baby Green Dragon heroes—and himself—were still only Level 1. Their potential was massive, so leveling up as quickly as possible was the absolute priority!
As for the Green Dragon available for recruitment at Dragon Cliff? Yeah, that wasn't happening anytime soon.
15 million gold and 800 crystals? Even if he went around looting everything in sight, it'd take months to gather that much.
And right now, he didn't even have anywhere to loot…
"ROOOOAAARRR!!"
As if she understood Ethan's words, Seraphina suddenly let out a majestic, dragon-like roar!
At the same time, she wriggled free from Ethan's arms, soared into the air, and—
BOOM!
In the blink of an eye, she transformed into a massive, awe-inspiring dragon!
Standing tall, she was over 30 feet high, like a living mountain. Her enormous wings spread wide, casting a shadow that seemed to blot out the sky. A wave of pure, overwhelming pressure crashed down, making it hard to breathe.
"W-What the hell?!"
Ethan was completely stunned.
Just a second ago, she was curled up in his arms like a cute little husky—
And now she was this?!
"Chirp! Chirp!"
Cicero, still nestled in Ethan's arms, started chirping excitedly.
Ethan quickly caught on—
Apparently, all dragons had multiple forms: normal form, battle form, defense form, sleep form, and more.
And among them, battle form was the strongest!
In this state, they could unleash 100% of their attack power!
Right now, both Cicero and Seraphina had been in their normal forms, which were the most balanced. Even in this state, they could still use over 80% of their attack power.
