38 Chapter 38: Schemes

Instead of Mordred answering, it was Satana. She stood from her seat so that all eyes would be on her.

"The answer is simple. We have Mordred get as many system points as he can and level up.

We will also take the serums along with our parents after we have gotten several 10s of billions of points so we can afford up to Mk 4 for everyone with the chance of it failing. After we evolve we..."

Before she continued, Persephone interrupted her.

"I understand your desire to become a dragon, but we do not need to rush this process. While we understand the hearts of our parents, we don't know about the older generations of SS ranks.

They may try to make us farm for points to get them evolved first before killing us off so no one else can evolve like them and break their limits.

We might also alert other powers such as the higher-ranked creatures or those who are called 'gods' or 'deities' by the other races who wish to stop demons from growing even stronger than we already are.

While these are just conspiracy theories, we can never be too careful when it comes to this."

Everyone took a deep breath after Persephone said this. Neither of her theories could be denied.

They could trust their parents because they were known for their fire-forged friendships with each other as well as their love for their children.

Even if they were not the best parents by human or elf standards, they at least tried to be pretty good by demon standards.

But the other SS ranks. They were a different story. Including the 9 children, there were 11 generations of SS ranks currently alive with the oldest generation over 5,000 years old.

All the other generations had already reached the level limits and could no longer extend their lifespans due to that. The oldest generation, while filled with power yet lacking in vitality, would most likely pass away before the next generation of SS ranks were even born.

This meant that letting them be informed about a chance to evolve and break their level limit was something they would chase after the moment they got wind of it.

There was also constant infighting amongst the elder generations so they would definitely fight to be the only one or small group to have access to the evolution process.

"Then we will not evolve for now. We need to test the process anyway," stated Niya. He was just as eager as everyone else but also knew when to pull back.

"Agreed. We can experiment on others about evolving and the effects of doing so," followed Bast. "We can use slaves as disposable test subjects.

That way we can also experiment with whether skills and magical talent have effects on what evolutions are available or if it is just based on racial traits."

"We also need to know if the serums will count as racial traits and if they will change our race forcibly.

What if us using the chimera serum turns us into hybrids and we don't just gain the traits as abilities?" asked Kali.

Everyone was clear on the danger unknown evolution posed on them, especially with their current strength.

"So it is agreed then. We will use the Mk 1 serum to see the basic evolutions we can all get first.

We can take note of the differences there. We can draw some conclusions from there.

Then we can work on the slaves and see what different races can do and the limits of their evolutions. We can also experiment on some of the people in the academy if we do not have enough time out here.

Our main issue is our strength at the moment. If we try to evolve now and get noticed, it will all be over soon," Mordred said after hearing everyone chip in.

He did not just inform them because they were close but to also get their thoughts on the subject.

While he considered himself smart, he knew he made mistakes. He did not want to miss out on anything so brought in the others as consultants.

"Then we just wait. We can evolve after we reach the limit in a few hundred years or we can evolve when we do the mandatory management after our time in the academy is over," Persephone said as if it was the most basic thing in the world.

The others agreed swiftly. While they were hungry for power, they knew that in a land where the strong ruled, evolving before they had the strength to back it up was just foolish.

They would take it one step at a time.

"Good. We also shall decide on what everyone shall work on. Even if we are going to become strong, we still need to be smart about this.

Mordred covers several areas due to his system: Inscriptions, blacksmith, armorer. He will be in charge of our equipment in the future.

Persephone is the magic expert with her talent and class so we will leave magical and ability research to her.

Hades is pretty useless when it comes to anything but fighting so we will just have him assist Persephone until we have forces under our wings that need training. He will mainly be in charge of our subordinates.

The vampires are experts on the blood of various beasts and their effects so they must have a pretty good library on rare and powerful creatures. Bast and Mania will be in charge of finding out anything that may help our chances of evolving into better creatures or what creatures are related to what.

The devils interact the most with other races so your maps should be the most up to date and detailed. Niya and Supay shall begin planning on the location of our future base so that we may start planning for the creatures we shall keep under us.

Me and Kali will be in charge of the finances. While Mordred's system can purchase materials, we still need herbs, slaves, magic crystals, soul stones, etc, "Satana planned for the group.

No one had any complaints about this. They were each given a task that suited them well and would also be important to their future growth.

After a few more topics were discussed and agreed upon, the group left the room before each went their respective ways.

Mordred decided to take a night to rest in his bed for the first time in weeks before he would continue his hunting and leveling spree.
