Ray still hadn't returned, and it had been more than fifteen minutes since he gave his racial essence to Gina.She also hadn't emerged from the state of evolution, but it seemed like she was about to.There had been no movement until a few seconds ago.Now, the white, cloudy cocoon of evolution had begun to shake slightly."Hmm, it seems Gina is about to awaken as a High Human," Sir Grant muttered, noticing the changes happening in the cocoon.Sir Grant's expression turned strange as he sensed a couple of presences approaching the territory of the Circle of Ouroboros, not far away.They didn't seem threatening or dangerous, despite being very powerful.In fact, their presence felt oddly familiar to him.Looking around, Elfie was also staring in the same direction, clearly sensing those presences as well."Who are they? They're strong," she said."Don't worry. I don't think they're unfriendly. In fact, I might even know them," Sir Grant said, eyes widening. "And I think I know why they

"How do you feel, Gina?" Ray asked, looking at the first pure-blooded High Human he had created as the Human Progenitor.Since Ray had given a small piece of his own unique essence along with the evolutionary racial essence, Gina had not only evolved into a pure-blooded High Human, but all her racial abilities, among other things, had been greatly enhanced due to Ray's influence.Just by having a minute piece of his unique essence inside her, Gina could now be considered the High Human with the most potential, assuming Ray wouldn't create another High Human using his unique essence.An evolutionary racial essence is a unique essence that contains the genetic material and codes for a being to evolve into that race.This essence also contains a small piece of energy from a Progenitor, which triggers the evolution process.The only beings capable of creating this essence are the Progenitors themselves, and even then, they can only create the evolutionary racial essence of their respectiv

"This is the beginning of my conquest."Ray's eyes glowed with a strange golden light, and an excited expression spread across his face, making Gina, Elfie, her brother, and even Sir Grant swallow nervously in intimidation."W-What do you mean by conquest?" Selwyn Grant asked nervously, almost afraid to even ask the question.Deep down, he already had an idea of what Ray was talking about when he mentioned the beginning of his "conquest," but hearing it confirmed still unsettled him."I'm talking about conquering the human world," Ray said casually."I'm from Earth. As the human progenitor, conquering a human world is anything but tough. But it would still be a drag to do it alone. That's why I'm creating more and more High Humans. They will have the power to create and control lesser-ranked Superior Humans. They'll make it much easier to manage the large population.""Are you serious about this?" Elfie asked with wide eyes. "You're talking about bringing an entire world under your co

Ray grinned, seeing their effects, especially the racial ability [Humanity's Weapon], which would increase his physical power and passively strengthen his soul as the population of [Superior Humans] and [High Humans] carrying his essence grew.It was established earlier that every progenitor has their own special, unique ability, like [Humanity's Weapon] that Ray, as the progenitor of humans, had obtained.These abilities are mostly related to their entire race, granting some form of enhancement or power increase that depends on how much their race grows."Well, even though this ability is strong, I can't just go around creating more and more High Humans to increase my strength..." Ray clicked his tongue.Like every being, progenitors also have their weaknesses.One significant weakness that restricts the rise of progenitors is race creation.A progenitor cannot simply increase the population of their race unchecked.Doing so would break the balance of races within the universe, espec

"So, what do you suggest we do now?" Alash Lunark asked, a grin forming on his face as he glanced at another Alpha Werewolf."Maybe we should ask Kiara, after all, her son was beaten to a pulp by that human in the Tower Realm of Zuan, right?""Shut up, Alash," Kiara Silverclaw snapped, narrowing her eyes as she glared at her son, Zaheer Silverclaw.Zaheer lowered his head, gritting his teeth as all the eyes of the Alpha Werewolves turned toward him, looking down on him for losing to a mere human."Stop fooling around, Alash. Her son lost to that human because he was weak, nothing more. And it's irrelevant now. We have much bigger things to worry about," Sia said.Even though she spoke those words, everyone knew she was thinking the same thing: Zaheer had brought shame upon the werewolves by losing to a human.The entire Silverclaw clan was now being looked down upon, and no one even tried to hide it."What do you suggest we do about this human, Sia?" the Alpha werewolf, Zor Rughal, as
