Chapter 109: Project chimera (1/2)

The atmosphere became a little heavier after Milia uttered those words.

”The Human Genesis Theory?”

Sol asked in wonder. This was something that was never mentioned in all his lessons.

”Indeed. You could also call it Human Evolution Theory.”

Milia then began to explain.

This theory was born about six to seven hundreds years ago, from the question as to why only humans could form contracts, and why they were able to use some of the attributes of the beings they were contracted to.

This also posed the question as to why humans were the only race unable to use mana or magic from birth.

The one who proposed an answer to this question were two people. A witch, named Hansel Darwin and her brother, a researcher named Gretel Darwin. From their research, they deduced one theory so crazy that they became laughingstock.

In their opinion, the human race was the origin of all races. The reasons humans could mate with all races was because of this. The fact that humans were unable to use magic was just because they were a non evolved form of all races who developed in order to master magic.

From their theory, neither magic nor mana were things that existed naturally in the world, or at least, not in great quantity. Then, later, for some reasons, this changed and some humans began to evolve while some did not.

”This theory is quite interesting, why is it not known?”

Sol knew his question could have been a little insensitive. After all, he didn't know the relation between this theory and their past. But he was really curious. This wasn't just because this theory was incredible but also because of their family name. If it was a coincidence, then it was rather extraordinary.

Thankfully, none of the people present seemed to take offense.

”It is normal that your highness never heard of it. If this theory stopped here, at most they would have been seen as slightly crazy scientists. But, those two made a great mistake, or should I say that they went too far.”

She shook her head at this, ” In the second part of their theory, they claimed that what they were saying was the truth because, even though the fourteen goddesses all had different features, the mother goddess was without a doubt human in appearance. They went even farther by adding that most likely, all the goddesses were just extremely powerful humans.”

Sol immediately winced at that. Even though this world wasn't against scientific research, some limits shouldn't be crossed.

Milia sent a bitter smile, ”It's as you can guess. Those two were immediately branded as heretics, then sentenced for disrespecting the divinities before finally being executed by decapitation. After that, all their researches were destroyed and forgotten in the river of times.”

This wasn't surprising, this world was one deeply in the control of the goddesses. From his old world, he knew how dangerous zealot could be. Still, Sol caught one important fact,

”If their research was burned, then, how do you know?”

Milia hesitated a little, before continuing,

”Few decades ago, the kingdom was at its lowest. Uranus, the Tyrant King, had tried to conquer Wratharis and Envilya at the same time and also declared war on Gluttony Foss. Of course, as you know, he failed miserably. Not only that, because of his failure, nearly all the members of the royal family as well as all their partners died. The only survivor was...”

”My grandfather, the Puppet King.” continued sol with a sigh.
