However, Alana continued,
"What if soone becos greedy? What if this place is actually connected to Earth? What if Earth gets destroyed and this place collapses with it? Then we’d all die anyway."
Felix imdiately fell silent.
anwhile, Ivy had already begun preparing the ritual.
Once everything was complete, she positioned Siya at one point of the formation.
Paris was placed at another.
anwhile, Ariana and Haku occupied the dium positions.
After making the final adjustnt, Ivy smiled with satisfaction.
However, Siya and Paris imdiately began protesting.
"How can you do this?"
Sia looked genuinely offended.
"You didn’t even ask for our permission!"
Paris nodded vigorously.
Both of them looked deeply humiliated.
Seeing their reaction, Ivy raised an eyebrow.
"All I’m asking for is a little blood."
Her expression beca confused.
"Why are both of you being so dramatic?"
Truthfully, Ivy’s feelings toward Siya and Paris were sowhat complicated.
The two of them were incredibly strange.
Most of the ti they lounged around doing absolutely nothing.
They spent entire days discussing random topics.
Sotis they even played pointless gas for hours.
More than once, Ivy had started wondering whether they believed they were on so kind of luxurious vacation.
Just as she was thinking that, Paris suddenly shouted,
"You’re basically giving us a child!"
The mont those words left his mouth, Ivy froze.
Her smile vanished. "What?"
She blinked. "I am giving you what?"
Paris imdiately realized sothing.
Looking at her expression, he understood that Ivy genuinely didn’t know.
Taking a deep breath, he spoke carefully.
"Why do you think your blood can transform other people?"
Paris continued,
"The process isn’t just a transformation. It’s essentially creating a bloodline connection."
His voice beca increasingly serious.
"Whoever is transford through your blood becos your descendant. Or, to put it more bluntly..."
He pointed toward the formation.
"You are creating children."
The mont those words landed, Ivy’s entire body froze.
Her mind went blank.
She turned her head toward Alana.
Alana’s eyes had widened completely.
The horror on her face suggested that she had just realized the exact sa thing.
And for the first ti in a very long while... neither of them knew what to say.
"Stop saying nonsense. Stop entertaining those ridiculous words."
Paris imdiately shot back, her voice echoing through the room.
"What blood type do you have?"
Ivy froze for a mont. Her brows furrowed as she searched her mory before finally shaking her head.
"I never underwent a blood test."
Hearing that, Paris rolled her eyes so hard that it seed as though she might strain them.
"Of course you don’t know what blood type you have. The sa blood is running through everyone you’ve used this conversion formation on. If that’s the case, then how co you haven’t beco a parent?"
Ivy was rendered speechless. Even the others standing nearby fell silent.
A strange feeling suddenly surged within Silas. Jealousy.
The re thought of Ivy having a child that was not related to him in any way caused an uncomfortable knot to form in his chest.
’Why am I even thinking about sothing like that?’
Completely unaware of the thoughts running through everyone’s minds, Ivy coldly replied,
"Stop talking nonsense."
With that, she shifted her attention toward her mother-in-law and imdiately began the conversion process.
Soon, both Siya and Paris felt their bodies gradually weakening.
Neither of them dared to scream.
They simply clenched their teeth so hard that their jaws trembled and closed their eyes.
As ti passed, Felix felt sothing inside him was changing.
His senses grew vastly superior to what they had ever experienced before.
The process lasted only thirty minutes.
Watching everything unfold, Ivy frowned.
"Strange. If I rember correctly, my conversion required at least an hour before it was completed."
Hearing that, Paris and Siya, who were currently lying weakly on the ground, rolled their eyes.
"You must have mistaken."
"It takes an hour only when a royalty is converting soone. After all, their bloodline is much purer."
The mont they finished speaking, both of them completely lost consciousness and fell into a coma.
Ivy stared at them thoughtfully. She no longer dared to mistreat them.
After all, they had proven themselves extrely useful.
If she continued raising both of them properly, she could convert as many people as she wanted.
Naturally, she would still require superior beings as sacrifices.
However, when she thought about it carefully, those superior beings had never hesitated to destroy humanity.
If they could act without rcy, why should she hesitate?
As those thoughts crossed her mind, Alice and Felix slowly regained consciousness.
The mont they opened their eyes and looked around, both of them beca stunned.
Especially Alice. Her hand instinctively moved toward her stomach.
The painful lump that had tornted her for so long had completely vanished.
For safety, Alana imdiately perford another examination.
Several minutes later, her eyes widened with excitent.
Looking toward Ivy, she exclaid, "The lump is completely gone!"
A visible sigh of relief escaped Ivy’s lips. anwhile, Alice touched her face repeatedly.
The smooth skin beneath her fingers felt strangely different. "I keep feeling as though I’ve beco much stronger."
Dante, who was standing a short distance away, chuckled softly. "It isn’t your imagination. That’s the truth."
As he spoke, he turned toward Ivy. "I also want to beco a superior being."
However, before Ivy could even respond, Silas imdiately interrupted.
"Do you think this is so simple transformation that anyone can receive whenever they want?"
Her sharp gaze landed directly on Dante.
"Don’t you understand what is required for this? It takes a trendous amount of resources and sacrifice. There are already several people waiting in line. We can’t simply break the order for you."
Dante rolled his eyes. "I’m not talking to my useless son."
A grin appeared on his face. "I’m talking to my lovely daughter-in-law."
With hopeful eyes, he looked directly at Ivy. Ivy could not help but chuckle.
"Let’s wait until I get my hands on more superior beings."
