Chapter 109: Project chimera (2/2)

”Indeed. Like the Peaceful King, Pluto, after the death of Jupiter, King Neptune, after the death of Uranus had been obligated to take the throne as a young child. Sadly, unlike King Pluto, he didn't have wise advisers, nor did he have powerful knights. He also didn't have the incredible talent shown by most kings, and as a result he was easily manipulated by the nobles.”

Sol nodded. After a human died, only his first partner would follow him in death.

The others would only be somewhat weakened. Thanks to this, after each generation, the royal family, and the kingdom continuously grew stronger, since they had generations of old partners.

One could even say that before the Tyrant King, the Kingdom had been at the peak of its power, and aside from Gluttony Foss, Lustburg had been without a doubt the strongest Kingdom.

Sadly, after his great grandfather's fooly, everything crashed down.

The only reason Lustburg hadn't been completely invaded was because of the Supreme daughter of the era, as well as the fact that the Tyrant King didn't go down alone, and pulled down the King of Wratharis and the Queen of Envilya with him.

Still, because of this, the relationship with the werebeasts was incredibly bad, and the demons even once tried to kill Sol in the past.

”So, what did my grandfather do?” He had some suspicion where this was going, but he wanted a clear answer.

”He unearthed the researches of the Darwnin's siblings.”

Sol was stumped. Of course, he saw it coming from the flow of the conversation, but how the hell do you even unearth researches from a few hundreds years ago that were supposedly destroyed?

”The king lacked the martial and political talent of his ancestor, but he wasn't without his own talent. He was a great biologist himself. Some of his research even developed the medical field. As such, after getting those research, he developed a bold idea.”

Sol gulped a little and waited for what would follow.

”Firstly, he devised that the theory was incomplete. If humans were really the base, then there was a race that was the closest to perfection.”

”Are you talking about the chimeras?”

Thinking so, Sol thought back to his new maid, Nuwa. She was also a chimera.

”Indeed, Echidna, the mother of thousands monsters, also the oldest mortal alive on earth, aside from Ambrosia. Her title isn't just for show since all the chimera are related to her, eons of careful interbreeding had been required to to create the current race.”

One of the reasons why Gluttony Foss was the strongest kingdom wasn't just because of Echidna. There was also the fact that even ordinary soldiers were at a completely different level.

”Your grandfather's hypothesis was simple. Since Chimera are the results of centuries of inbreeding, it means that the Humans Genesis Theory had some truth to it. But, he couldn't afford to wait for such a long time like Echidna. As such, he decided to artificially accelerate the processus.

”This was how <

> came to be. A project that had a sole and only goal, to create super soldiers, humans with the attributes of magical beings without contract, or low level magical beings, being able to use magic from other races. For this project, two hundreds orphans of different races were used. Out of them, 190 died. 9 survived but were deemed as failuress, and only one was deemed a success... That was me.”
