?"What?" Legion-5 asked with clear disbelief and confusion. "Didn't the data you sent say that it takes an average of 20 Origin cycles to produce a Sovereign and the chances of a transcendent becoming a Sovereign in the realm is 1 in 1000 transcendents? So how can it be so easy to beco a Sovereign right now?"
He had an inkling as to what the answer to that question would be but he asked it to ensure that he truly understood and to maintain his facade of a young ignorant mind.
Tanc830,428,723C chuckled. "I am impressed that you have finished assimilating the data file I sent to you. But the information about the path of perfection it contains pertains to livestock. It is for other races that have to labor on the path of perfection. All we have to do is kill a Sovereign and absorb their seed of power. We are thieves and the best thing we are good at is stealing."
"Wouldn't that leave any side effects?" He asked uncertainly. "It says in the file that titans of law can take that route to beco Sovereigns of law too but they can't beco Origin gods anymore."
"You sure ask a lot of aningful questions. That's good. But I hope this is the last ti I have to say this. I won't repeat myself so listen and listen carefully. All of that information is for livestock that have to labor on the path of perfection. Do you understand ?"
He still doesn't understand how Supre beasts manage to beco Sovereigns of law with a 100% understanding. What he does know is that if what his ntor said is true, then it is not strange that Supre beasts have a 90% to beco Origin gods.
Still, he nodded and said, "I understand. We steal. It is in our nature to pillage and rob. If we want sothing we take it. We don't work for things."
His ntor chuckled. "Very good. I know you're confused and I will explain later. But I believe that it is important for you to understand our culture and have that ntality."
"It is a must that you have that ntality early on. It is part of what makes us Supre. The early supre beasts didn't understand this. They were short-sighted and they were too weak to kill Sovereigns. They used their slots for divine abilities to steal the Authority of lords of laws and kings of law. This caused them to remain stagnant as transcendents because Authority is not in the soul body or divine ability."
"They wasted their potential because they didn't set their sights on the top. Only those that stole the hearts of dragons or were lucky enough to encounter a seed of power maintained their potential."
"We are Supre beasts. Others are beasts and livestock and we are the Shepards. We rear them for their abilities and power. Then we take them for ourselves. Other races beco Supre when they acquire origin gods. We on the other hand have always been Supre."
Legion-5 was impressed by this ntality but he is not entirely convinced. He still thinks there has to be a catch sowhere. After all, the path of perfection is supposed to be literally perfect. How could the Supre Beasts be better than it?
He thought to himself, "Maybe it is sothing like the demorgorg system that Helios and the Tree father are working on. It is highly likely since the Path Of Supremacy appears to rely on the path of perfection and is not self-reliant."
He still has his doubts. But he didn't voice them. He is going to do his own research and ascertain the truth himself. He was going to do his own research anyway. It is not right to believe what a stranger says straightaway.
He asked the one thing he can't let go though. "I would like to get the full picture. You said sothing about so Supre Beasts not following this path. I want to know why."
Tanc830,428,723C replied, "This has sothing to do with the alternative solution to the stagnation dilemma of the ancient Shapiros. The Ancient Shapiro couldn't progress on the path of perfection after they stole the divine abilities of other races. So decided to increase their potential so that they could steal more while others decided not to steal at all."
"As long as you don't steal a divine ability, your divine ability will not be scrambled and will remain pure. In other words, you can beco a lord and king of law on your own as long as you remain pure and comprehend laws. It is just that comprehending laws is very difficult for us because of our demon ancestry."
"Our connection to Laws is very low. On the other hand, we have a relatively high mana affinity due to our elven ancestry. Unfortunately, mana affinity is essentially useless to transcendents and above. The difficulty in comprehending laws made this other solution obsolete. Those who abstained from stealing divine ability eventually gave up on it."
Legion-5 was enlightened. "I see. So there was a solution different from our way of life but it was inefficient and difficult."
His ntor agreed with him. "Exactly. But so supre beasts still go through this path despite the difficulty because of the advantage it could bring. This advantage is related to our divine ability. We are already this strong after 2 awakenings. Imagine how strong we could be if we don't scramble our divine ability and allow it to awaken a third and fourth ti?"
"Oh," Legion-5 exclaid. His eyes glead, "The other 10% that refused to take the Path Of Supremacy are the ambitious ones."
His ntor snorted. "They are ambitious alright. They are very ambitious. They are greedy and are not satisfied with what they already have. So they risk immortality for more power. It has led to mostly failure."
Legion-5's beca excited, "So there are those that have succeeded?"
