Diabolical

The treasury of the Fawkes family was more than Leonel expected, but after he thought about it, he felt that it only made sense. Gervaise had been preparing for a return to the God Realm all this time, and the methods that he had used couldn't possibly be normal. From the start, his intention was to be no weaker than any other God Race.

Of course, this was difficult in two ways.

First, the Ascension Empire was still lacking in population numbers. Right now, they had a population that could be counted in the tens of billions, and that much was good enough for the God Realm especially since birth rates were quite low here. But the main issue was that this population had yet to be refined down to the point where only the truest talents were left.

The Fawkes had only had one line remaining, so though Leonel's grandfather and grandmother had had more children, it was still difficult to truly proliferate.
