Endless Evolution: Last Star

Chapter 442 Two New Ways

A happy smile, full of pain, appeared on Glara's blood-stained face. She watched as a large bright star approached her that could outshine any darkness.

It was the Initial Gene from the Redcore Wolf, that a moment later entered Revolve, ending up in her inner space.

Since her brother was a Phantom, she knew a little about how it happened. Lero told her many times about the day he got the Spark and how he killed his first monster.

Sure, it was under completely different circumstances than Glara's since Lero didn't know about the Naturalborn Phantoms and he didn't have the chance to become one of them since his Spark was already static, retaining the power level that it had at the time of its appearance.

'How beautiful... I wish Lero could see this, but... it will never happen again.' Glara muttered inwardly as she watched the Spark shining brightly in her inner space, where a snow-white seed soon appeared.

This was the beginning of the growth of the powerful Evolution Tree that was common to all the Naturalborn Phantoms.

After a moment, Glara closed her eyes, falling into a deep sleep. Her shoulders collided with the Redcore Wolf's, who unlike her would no longer be able to see this world.

Nothing threatened Glara anymore. Her condition was quickly returning to normal, as was evident by her skin, it was once again soft and elastic as a young girl should have.

It would take some time for her to fully recover, but she did her job. She was no longer an ordinary human.

"Good, the experiment can be considered as a success." Aiden said, finally letting go of Shiny's tail.

Shiny narrowed his eyes resentfully and pointed his tail towards his mouth, licking it from all sides with his long tongue to take away the slight pain.

"So... What conclusions can we draw from this?"

Gladius uttered, glancing at Aiden. He was curious to hear what Aiden thought about this since he was conducting experiments to eventually put the results to practical use.

Aiden scratched his chin, pondering his answer and remembering everything that happened.

"In brief, we need to observe the siblings of the Phantoms dying in the Dead Lands. We need to find out what conditions must be met for the sibling of a recently deceased Phantom to have the inner space as it happened to Glara."

Then, Aiden cast a glance at her and continued:

"There are three conditions in our option: 1) Another Phantom, in this case, is Adam Vinter. 2) The Nexus of her dead brother, which they both touched. 3) Glara herself, not a Phantom and a blood relative to Lero."

"Yes, Sano and Natta will be able to assist the test subjects. The purity of the genes won't be 100%, but it won't matter since their inner space will filter everything out."

Aiden folded his hands together, his amber eyes peering at Glara.

"Looks like thanks to this occasion, soon the Naturalborn Phantoms will be a bit more. It's only a drop in the ocean, but it's something."

Gladius shrugged nonchalantly.

"Don't forget Katrin, that girl who recently absorbed the gene of the Plague Reaper and miraculously became the Naturalborn Phantom."

Aiden nodded.

"Sure, I remember, but Katrin's situation is much harder to replicate and research. We're already doing some work on it, but it's not a quick process."

"Hahahahahaha."

Gladius chuckled, unable to contain his laughter.

Aiden raised an eyebrow, he was puzzled.

"Hmm? What made you laugh so hard."

Gladius spread his hands apart.

"No big deal, I just thought it was rather ironic that Adam Vinter was present on both occasions. The one who was one of the lucky survivors of your experiment."

Gladius grinned widely:

"He didn't just become the Naturalborn Phantom, but technically gave rise to two new ways of how you can increase their numbers."

Aiden didn't answer anything, he just looked ahead, silently pondering what happened. He needed to think it over properly to use his time productively for new experiments.

"Hey, how do you think, what Adam Vinter felt at that moment? What would he say if you two met right now?"

Aiden without any emotion on his face said:

"I don't care. He had as much chance of survival as the rest. It's all just a series of coincidences. All that matters to me is to make humanity stronger, as strong as possible. Morality takes a back seat."
