I believe when Rou started up Solitude, it was because he wished to take advantage of how much versatility the Job class system provides. Aside from the various bonuses to a person's aptitudes, they also give access to arts which allow them to surpass the monster races, at least momentarily.

Also, if we have to reason out why most people can't compare with the members of Parabellum, it'd be because of 2 reasons: 1). Monsters have a more rapid rate of growth, and 2). Rou's training methodology and skills which enhance the growth of his subordinates. If you compared the Parabellum members with monsters of similar race outside of their group, they'd likely be overwhelmingly stronger. Same with the Solitude kids; once they grow up, they’ll probably display the same kind of overwhelming superiority in regards to other people and monsters.

Some things to keep in mind: someone who evolved up to a race would be much stronger than someone who was simply born at that race. So sure, Opushii was born as an Apostle Lord, but if she had evolved up to that point on her own, she'd be much stronger overall. That said, it doesn't change the fact that she was born in a high class race. Rarer races are more powerful, after all.

Metazoxan hit it on point about the growth phase. Rou feeding his kids parts of the White Deer's horns presumably had quite the effect on their growth. So the longer Opushii stays a child, the more it'll add up.

Oh, Metazoxan, it's not a measure of potency for Divine Blessings when they affect the target physically. It's just a trait of the Divine Blessing itself. Like for the Demigod of War, it makes the blessed person's body as hard as steel. It's just a part of the set of abilities the Divine Blessing gives. There are actually 3 stages of Divine Blessing that Rou enumerated; the lowest is when they JUST have the Divine Blessing and nothing extra is granted to them and the top is what everyone in Parabellum has. Or, Argent, Opushii; they all have the highest degree of Divine Blessing bestowed upon them.

I forgot what the middle stage is, but I think it just grants the Divine Protection Holder some bonuses without any overt abilities. They all have different names, at any rate.
