Chapter 82: Dakgalbi (edited)
“If that woman had done even a little better, heroes wouldn’t be treated the way they are now.”
The precedent set by Meister had shackled the rising heroes who grew stronger fighting monsters.
Heroes who must obey government orders. A system structured around that obedience. Tools built to support that system.
Meister was no genius, so she couldn’t fully grasp the consequences of her actions.
Used by high-ranking officials, always realizing too late, blamed afterward, and left only with regret.
“The most pathetic thing is that even after all that, she still helps with crap like the artificial psychic program, just because the government tells her to.”
“Meister’s just trying to help everyone.”
“She keeps trying the wrong way, though. How many people died because of the monster weaponization plan? What about the problems caused by crap like dissecting psychics?”
Yu Anna fell silent, unable to argue.
The truth was, Meister had indeed been at the center of countless incidents.
Not just the monster weaponization disaster, but also the mass production of combat drones to offload lesser monsters, the plans to enhance military equipment—none of it really helped.
All it did was bolster the private armies of high-ranking officials trying to protect themselves.
