Empress' Evolution

Chapter 77: Ancestor

The Evolution Matrix, it is a simple function in the system Alpha shows what evolutionary branch one would fall on.

However, as Sylva's evolution appeared, it didn't even have a name nor did it have a requirement.

'Alpha, are you okay buddy? Are you sure you're doing okay? Why don't you go back to the Divine Realm and send someone decent to replace you because goddammit I don 't think you know what you're doing.'

[Shut the hell up, would you? That little companion of yours is a new species meaning she has the hidden trait of being an [Ancestor], do you even know what that means?]

Lilith was very hesitant to answer because she knows Alpha would use that moment to talk shit about her, but in the end, she admitted to her ignorance, 'I don't.'

[Lilith, are you okay, my little fragile, weak, scummy, and ignorant friend? Because earlier you were criticizing me about my inability to comprehend my own job when you don't even know what left and right in the evolutionary tree. Do you want me to delete the wine? DO YOU!? That [Golden Wanderer] follower of yours had given me a headache ever since she evolved, do you know how much trouble it is to balance out a new evolutionary trait!?

[The Divine Realm is going haywire, it had been three million years since the last Ancestor was born, so shut up and stop talk shit about me and my job and just accept that it's that way and it's going to stay that way because Sylva has no proper origin!]

This was the first time in a long time Lilith heard a rant about their job. And she can't rebuke Alpha when she says about things regarding her inability to comprehend what is happening because she seriously does not know.

'Fine, I'm sorry about what I said about you not doing your job properly. This lowly host of the system bows down to the great Alpha and enlighten this stupid one. And please don't delete my wine, that's the only thing the Goddess gave me that I really liked.'

[Fine, I'm going to dumb it down to your human-daemon mind so that you can understand. Basically, according to the records of the High-Seraphs who was created before the universe, the Ancestors are the beings with the densest bloodline.

[These Ancestors are beings who are higher than Mythical Daemons and are stronger than any being in the world. These daemons spread throughout the universe and they became the Mother and Fathers of respective species.

[You remember Mawa? The name you use to make the Ogres subservient? She's an Ancestor-tier every Ogre, Goblin, Orc, and some more species of daemons wish to achieve. The reason why this is so is that the closer you are the ancestor, the stronger you are and the more power you can produce and bloodline denseness is measured in LVLs.

[Only humans don't have Ancestors because you guys never evolved even once.]

'Wait, let me stop you there, I thought humans evolved from monkeys?'

[Bullshit, you guys, rather your past-self didn't evolve those guys were simply prototypes. Those monkeys have their own Ancestors called Sun Wukong (Monkey King), you know, the one who allegedly turned to stone? Moving forward, you humans were created as is and the things you excavated are some monkeys who failed to evolved and become Sun Wukong or even reach Epic-tier.

[We're getting sidetracked, but to make the details even simple, Ancestors are the start of the Mortal Life and these daemons strive to become as close to the Ancestor as much as possible and gain their bloodlines and become even stronger.]

'Hoooh, so that's how it is. So, let me guess, the Evolution Matrix tracks down the closest bloodline to the Ancestor giving me and my followers the strongest possible form out of the ocean of daemon evolution and because Sylva is the first of her kind, so the Evolutionary Matrix is glitching out.'

[Ding, ding, you're correct. For her to evolve, no requirements are needed because we don't know shit about her and the LE she needs is larger because the system considers her as powerful and rightfully so because that follower of yours is going to be an OP character.]

Lilith took in a sharp deep breath as she looked at Sylva who was patiently watching her 'think' about what is happening.

'Damn, Sylva is going to be really useful. Good thing I didn't give her to Pixie Lord at that time.'

Alpha just kept her silence because she already knows that Lilith is aware of what it is that she needs to do. She had something much better to do than comment on her values and why the hell the Goddess picked her.

She has to regulate the Ancestor Sylva when she evolves and that takes a long, long time to do.

"Sylva, you can just evolve here and now. There is no problem, that glitchy thing that appears before you are the sign of power. It simply means you're going to be a strong daemon who will stand at the peak in the future."

"Really?"

"Yes, now click the choice so that you'll be able to evolve without a problem."

Staring at Sylva, Lilith was excited to announce about the issue that there is no problem.

With Sylva being the child that she was, didn't hesitate to click on the choice. She believes Lilith to the point of blind faith so why not believe her for this also? With that said, an orange light exploded out of Sylva's body and wrapped her to make an egg-like cocoon. The orange color reverted to blue in a moment.

Timer: 29:24:59:59

"A month?"

[Don't complain, I need to register her new evolution to the Divine Realm and the Goddess will have to create her a body. 30 days is fast enough for a new being, do you know how long the Ancestors took in order to be created? 50,000,000 years each, so don't complain!]

Lilith clicked her tongue as she actually really needed Sylva for her plan to work.

'Well, the Spatial Marking lasts for 30 35 days so I supposed this is acceptable.'

With that, the whole issue of evolution was settled. Dhampy would later evolve when midnight comes.

Timer: 19:24:59:59

She was also going to take her sweet time evolving.

Lilith actually wanted to postpone Dhampy's evolution for later, but because they do not know how long it will take to prepare a slaughter, she didn't want to let the opportunity go. So, she killed some LVL 10 beast to recover the needed LE and then had Dhampy evolve.

Then, the time came. The exact day she told Mirsha to call the Hunter's Association came and then proceeded to burning down the village.

'This will make our Extermination Ranking disappear and with the Hunter under my control through Sylva's marking, I'll have contact to the human society. While Sylva and Dhampy is asleep and in the process of evolving, I need to find a place to settle down with the daemons so I can go ahead and start taking over this Stronghold and begin world domination.

'But before that, I think I'll take over this place in under a month. Hehehe, this is going to be fun.'

Her troops had dwindled and two of the most useful daemons she has under her command is asleep. At the moment, Lilith will have lost a lot of things but she also gained a lot more.

Other than founding out that she can place the cocoons inside her inventory, she now faithful believers of Letza and herself. Their loyalty is secured and she no longer need to think about how to reach a Stronghold.

Right now, Lilith has every means she needs to start anew. But unlike when she first got reborn as a daemon, Lilith now has a starter pack of troops. And as she led them to another home, her devilish smile blossomed.

'This time for sure, I'll take over a Stronghold.'
