Division Chief
Aiden Cross weighed his options carefully.
Europe needed a figure with immense native prestige—someone whose name alone could open doors, much like Jeanne d'Arc did in France.
If Jeanne had been stronger, he would have sent her.
But for Europe as a whole… there was only one true choice.
"Designated summon: Artoria Pendragon."
Ding. Lancer class: 500,000 energy points.
He chose the Lancer.
Not the rigid Saber.
Not the ruthless Alter.
Not the naïve young White Saber.
This was the Lion King of a parallel Britain—wielding the holy lance Rhongomyniad, a being nearly divine, decisive, pragmatic, and terrifyingly effective.
A ruler who valued victory over romantic chivalry.
With her reputation across Europe—and Jeanne as her aide—the Hero Association's European branch would rise effortlessly.
The summon completed.
A radiant pillar of light condensed into a tall knight-queen, bearing the holy lance.
Europe was secured.
Special Summons Begin
Energy nearly depleted, Aiden Cross turned to the risky option: Special Summon.
Minimum result: B-Class.
Maximum risk: Catastrophic boss.
First Special Summon
A-Class Hero — Rowan AshfordSuper-Dragon Disaster — Eldervale
Rowan's Wood Release and leadership made him perfect.
"Oceania Division Chief," Aiden Cross decided. "Go plant forests."
Second Special Summon
A-Class Hero — AcceleratorSuper-Dragon Disaster — Boros
Boros was flung into deep space—someone else's problem.
Accelerator, with vector control that could halt Earth's rotation briefly, was terrifying enough.
"South America Division Chief."
Third Special Summon
A-Class Hero — IcarusSuper-Dragon Disaster — The Void Realm
Another nightmare dimension.
Icarus, however, despite her airheaded nature, was immensely powerful.
"Antarctica Division Chief. Quiet post. No administration needed."
Aiden Cross exhaled.
"Final Special Summon."
Ding. Congratulations. Summoned S-Class Hero — …
He stared at the screen.
Africa's Division Chief.
The last slot.
An SSR.
