Activator Clan

Dante left the rest of the clean up for the Golden Skinned Puppets. After all, they did most of the fighting. All of the spoils will belong to them. Except for one object.

At the very apex of the castle a small shrine sat on top of the castle. Within the very centre of the shrine lay a familiar translucent crystal. However it's size was as small as a fist.

This is naturally the spoils of conquering the castle. Dante only learnt that these appeared when he had successfully occupied the castle. However occupying means that all the soldiers within the castle should be subdued and the contestant is either killed or captured.

Holding the small crystal Dante looked at the figure on it. It had a humanoid shape with a thin figure and a small build. It had sharp spikes mounted on its elbows and razor sharp claws.

Looking at the carving Dante naturally knew what it was. He had red about the race from many years ago within his clans books.

The Activator Clan. Renowned throughout the world for their high speeds but weak combat power, they are also regarded as the opposite of the LipFreed Clan.

Unfortunately, as you would expect from the opposite of the LipFreed Clan, their reproduction rate is abysmal.

It takes over three years for each child to be born. But from their birth they are already in the body refining state and their speed is also comparable to a fifth stage body refining cultivator. And they are notoriously difficult to conceive.

But over the many years their numbers were slowly dwindling and Dante only knows of a few powerful families that still exist.

Clearly the antique who owned this plain had gained some and planned to breed them. After all, if you can get a whole community of them then it would be much simpler to run a plane.

The Activator clan isn't well known for it's combat power, rather it is incredibly good to work as an assassin or even just to deliver messages.

Therefore the powerful Activator clans that exist right now are mostly mixtures of smugglers or assassins.

Dante was very happy to receive such a crystal. At first he expected to just receive some humans, however he much preferred to receive a species like this.

But it was also this differentiation in strengths that made Dante think about purchasing a variety of species next time he visits a slave trader.

Especially with the creation of BloodLine families, after all he needs to start cultivating his own powerful bloodlines with high talents.

But right now it was time to return to the castle. He wanted to use this Activator Crystal as quickly as possible.

As for the humans that were captured, they were naturally all turned into puppets, increasing Dantes human population by 150.

Unlike Dante who only started with warriors, Liam clearly started with a wider variety. He only had 30 available warriors and 120 mortals among his camp.

80 women and 40 men have an uneven distribution. And their talents were even more pathetic.

None of the humans had a physique above the Rank of 6. So Dante already had an idea.

He wanted to make Liam into the Patriarch of a BloodLine family while he was here. Of course he will have to return to his saint family however once Dante gets the world seed there are plenty of ways for his puppets to return from the outside world.

Even better, Liam will be able to get resources from his family in order to cultivate his BloodLine Family. And Various women with good talents will flock to him if he asks.

Unfortunately his age is a little too young to start having kids but it will only take a few years.

Therefore Dantes first step of action was making Liam into the first human patriarch of a Bloodline family and awarded him with all 80 women from his original castle.

Dante even put Leonard under his control along with all the other humans in the castle.

Of course the numbers were still abysmal for now, however once Dante is able to access his spiritual pendant he will fill up the Human bloodline families.

However the next step is to open up this Activator crystal.

After pouring his spiritual energy into the crystal over three hundred figures popped up infront of Dante.

Clearly the Activator clan members were sealed with the intention of reproducing as there were only 100 males and 200 females. However every member of the clan was a cultivator.

99 of the men were bone refiners and one was in the spirit tempering realm. Whereas 100 of the women were in the bone refining realm, 99 were in the body refining realm and 1 was at the peak of spirit tempering!

After checking through the talents of the Activator clan, Dante found they were pretty similar to the LipFreed Clan. No wonder they were considered natural enemies.

Each Activator clan member had a Rank 7 or lower Physique but surprisingly one had a Rank 5 Physique.

The owner of the physique was the one peak of spirit tempering cultivator among the entire clan, and also a young girl.

This would be the first female patriarch that Dante will have among his BloodLine Families, however he didn't care. After all, what he wants is a powerful bloodline. It doesn't matter how he gets it.

If you're looking at the entire continent, then these physiques might not be very impressive. However for rare tribes like the LipFreed Clan and the Activator Clan just being able to have some groups of them is useful for Dante.

And all of this is just about creating more and more puppets. After all, once more and more Activator and LipFreed puppets are born then Dante will get much more spiritual energy.

Through his tinkering with the Puppet Technique, Dante found out another one of the unique abilities of the technique. He is able to save the power provided to him and even bestow it upon the puppets he has created.
