Ryu's gaze landed upon a dilapidated scroll. He could tell that it hid maybe the most useful method in this place.
'That should be the method of forming the Corpse Garden.'
'Do you want to build one within the Incubator? It might be difficult to balance it so that it doesn't affect the growth of the Spiritual Herbs. But, it wouldn't be impossible.'
Ryu thought for a moment before shaking his head.
'It's not worth it. Esme has the ability to improve by swallowing her opponents. I can still tweak it so that she becomes more efficient at it too. I'll simply build all of my future corpse puppets like that, there's no need to make sacrifices.'
'Well, taking that path is its own form of sacrifice. It's impossible to give your corpse puppets every evolution pathway there is. If you're giving them the ability to grow through battle, you're giving up immediate and more potent strength.'
