This story Gideon was falling behind. He apparently would have just died had he stayed with them.

He would have been just fine if he fell back to a non-combat role as the party manager and face. Instead Ares kicked out the only member not using CHA as a dump stat.

A setting taking place in the far future after the fall of a modern/advanced civilization and after it got over its post apocalypse phase is a fairly common fantasy trope.

Can someone explain what shisandan's motivation for doing...anything... is? It seems like he should be ok with the ruti not being the hero, especially since hes a demon and all.

Well the contract demon showed us that demons can have personal goals that don't align to or can even be opposite of those of the demon lord, so him being a demon doesn't necessarily mean he wants the hero dead. My guess is that there is some sort of detail about blessings and the hero in particular that we are missing. Something along the lines of "The hero" being a necessary existence to the natural order of things, or that the Demon Lord (which I'm assuming is also a blessing) and the hero are opposed but also dependent on each other. Another possibility is that there is some demon lord/hero historical cycle that Shisandan believes must be maintained for reasons. My wild guess why is that Asura demons actually do have a blessing, but it doesn't impart abilities. Only impulses to maintain the hero/demon lord status quo.
