Chapter 186: God of Humans

<The migration project is as you know. I did intend to come back.>

“Hmph,” Sian nodded.

<Do you remember I told you that we have other places that we studied other than the <Amaran>? We were studying the Lukra’s blood to learn more about Alphas. We couldn’t bring out the trait of the Lukras until we got the unexpected.>

“You mean…”

<Yes, it was you. I was so shocked.>

After Lagaope gained enough information about becoming an Alpha, he was then preparing to return home. That was when he came across something entirely unexpected. The one who had been born with Lukra blood.

<I never thought putting my blood would result in the birth of a being with Lukra blood. The powerful blood usually doesn’t mix well. Remember that monkey’s blood was at 1 while humans are 100? Lukra blood would be at about 300. At least that’s what I had when I studied their blood. It didn’t even work when it was mixed into humans so I never imagined its blood would be awakened within the monkeys.>

“300…”

It meant that the one with such a rating would be born with three times the human potential. Considering that humans here would easily become nobles, or superhumans on the Ra-Sian Continent, it was outstanding.

<I was shocked when I heard the report of your rating. It meant that you had Lukra blood. It was the first time in 3000 years that I ever saw its blood being awakened, along with the chance to become an Alpha.>

“…”

<The proof is that you become strong when you face the threat of death. Don’t you think it’s odd that you can become so powerful just because you have just encountered such a threat? Other Betas can’t do that.>

Humans became strong through training while Dragona went through molting and Chrona absorbed its offspring. The only race that could become strong with such a way were the Lukras.

“…”

<You have the traits of both humans and Lukras. Lukras can’t become strong through training in return.>

Sian was still confused and asked, “But that’s weird. Even if I awakened with the blood, wouldn’t it max out at the 300 rating?”

Lagaope laughed.

<Yes, that’s why I had such high expectations for you. It means you were beyond my expectations. To me, you were like a miracle.>

“Hmph.”

<There are no secrets to your birth. At least far as I know. I am not sure how you were born with such a rating. I am a scientist and I hate things I can’t understand but I also love it in some way. I can’t control it because I can’t understand it but it can give me surprising results.>

“Hmph.”

<Anyway, it seems like your father was surprised. Your father used secrecy magic on the one who performed the ceremony. However, wouldn’t you find it weird for the one who went to check on the rating on the famous family who usually had high ratings, to come back with secrecy magic? I unlocked it and checked it out.>

“Oh.”

<I think your father thought it would have been enough to keep it a secret from the Magical Council, but they are one of us. There’s no hiding from us.>

“Were you that curious?”

Lagaope nodded.

<Of course. You can’t imagine how shocked I was when I heard the rating of 497. That’s when I changed my plans. I kept this to myself and decided to watch over you for a while longer. I didn’t want my friends to know about you in case they would do something to you. As you see, they were mostly more powerful than me.>

Lagaope didn’t want his friends to know about Sian in case they wanted to try to see how strong he was before he became strong enough.

“You wanted to make me an Alpha.”

Sian knew what Lagaope’s plan was all along.

<Yes. It was unexpected but it was fortunate. I never thought there would be one who had the chance to become an Alpha on that side of the continent.>

“Hmph.”

<I couldn’t help but place my hope in you when I heard the rating.>

“Did you do something behind my back to make me an Alpha when I was young?” Sian asked.

Lagaope shook his head.

<No. You were born to a very good family. I didn’t need to do anything. I didn’t have to protect you like Stiel, nor did I need to teach you in secret like Liviath. Besides, you were stronger than me when you were twelve years old. I was so shocked. That was incredible speed even considering your blood.>

Lagaope knew that Sian had broken the wall when he was twelve. This was secret that he had not told anyone up until now.

“You’ve really have been watching me.”

<Of course. Anyway, I didn’t do anything until you were seventeen. Why would I when you became so powerful without any help? It was better to let you do it on your own.>

“Are you sure?”

Sian wasn’t convinced as every problem he had faced was all tied to Lagaope.

<What’s interesting was that you were really unlucky. I didn’t intend to drag you in but you came right into it every time.>

“Huh?”

Sian frowned.

Lagaope was so glad at Sian becoming so powerful. It was unbelievable strength. He had never seen such strength even in the days of the Divine Empire. It seemed Sian would soon become an Alpha without needing any of the plans that Lagaope had prepared. But it didn’t matter. If Sian were to become an Alpha, he had filled his purpose.

Lagaope even thought about postponing his plan to go back if he could help Sian become an Alpha. But Lagaope was shocked what Sian decided to do when he came across the wall.

<I will give up becoming strong. This is enough.>

It was absurd, but it made sense. Sian was already too powerful among those monkeys. He was at a Duke level just before reaching a Beta barrier at age of seventeen. However, that didn’t bode well for Lagaope. He needed Sian to become an Alpha. This was his best chance.

Even if Lagaope were to return, there was no telling that he would succeed in making a human other than Lorvall to become an Alpha. Besides, he wasn’t sure if Lorvall was even alive to this day. Lagaope was mad that Sian wasn’t eager.

That was when he began studying things himself. He did some research on Count Kerbel and the others around him to find a way to make Sian stronger. The result was disappointment.

<He can only become stronger through the brink of death? Who is powerful enough to even be able to kill him?>

Sian was already too powerful. It would be possible if Con-Rad was alive, but it was before Con-Rad had come back to life and Nekra was still sleeping.

But he did not give up yet. This land didn’t have anything that would threaten Sian but the northern continent was different. He just needed to bring Sian there.

That was when Lagaope decided to proceed with his plans to return.

That was why Lagaope was shocked when Sian was dragged into Apental.

<Why is he here, and why is he being dragged in there?!>

The door was small, but Apental was too dangerous for a being before reaching the Beta stage. Yet Sian came back alive and evolved into a first stage Beta. Lagaope was overjoyed.

He did not care about the new <Connector of Aksarai>. It just didn’t need to become an Alpha. Lagaope was worried when the spirit of the connector was blown away, but he used the body to reincarnate Con-Rad.

Lagaope then thought about another plan. To make Sian much stronger. He thought about using Nekra to have Sian fight against him.

But before Lagaope could find a way, Sian disappeared. Lagaope frantically tried searching for him but he couldn’t find him anywhere. He began searching for Stiel who might know whereabouts of Sian but she also had gone missing. Stiel had talked about Sian’s whereabouts to the King and the family so Lagaope managed to find out what happened. It seemed that Sian had walked into the threat of death on his own.

Then, Sian came back as a second stage Beta. Lagaope was overjoyed again. He was so happy that he even made Soul Transfer Orbs for Sian’s family and tried to offer everything he could to Sian.

Then he realized that there was nothing that would endanger Sian anymore. There was nothing on Ra-Sian. But the other continent had such things.

Lagaope then began making preparations again.

The reopened Apental wasn’t for Sian. He never imagined Sian would foolishly jump back in when he knew how dangerous the place was. Lagaope’s plan was to place a Ra-Shar-Roa there and lure Sian by offering to make the Soul Transfer Orb for him and put him into <Aksarum>.

That was why he did not share every detail. If Sian heard about Lukra or Drakun, he would never come over. Lagaope then stopped by the Mountain of Extreme to remove his blessing and check on what had happened in his absence.
