Days after…

After the battle, or rather massacre, of Monastery Of Chaos, Minos and his group stayed at this enemy base to wait for their troops to arrive, but also to conduct experiments with his ability.

With several enemies to serve as guinea pigs and also allies to receive powers from, Minos had several options besides his two wives and the General who had come with him to this place.

His ability was no secret to anyone, so as soon as his allies and Maximilian’s party arrived at the Monastery of Chaos, victors in the battles with nearby enemies, he began his experiments.

As he had promised his two wives and the General, he continued with them two days after their arrival in the area, even before the people from Maximilian’s group arrived.

He had better results with the General’s 5% boost, while his wives and himself showed no instability with the second 1% continuous improvement. But the General still hadn’t achieved anything stable, perhaps because 5% was still too much or he hadn’t fully recovered from the 10% improvement.

So Minos’ preliminary data with his new trait was still inconclusive when Maximilian’s group joined them on their fourth day in the area.

From that day on, he began his large-scale tests, using three groups of 10 people of the same level to test continuous improvements of 2%, 3%, and 4%.

…

After a month of experimenting with his new powers on allies and enemies alike, Minos had learned a great deal about the limits of permanent power transfer.

So far, continuous improvements of 1% seemed safe, but he would have to test them for longer to confirm that. For the time being, he felt he could proceed with improvements of this order for his closest family members and allies.

Improvements of 2% were only stable for the first two progresses and became unstable after the third attempt. From then on, even down to 1%, the improvements never became stable again.

Beyond that, the result was worse, and only time would tell whether those individuals who improved their strength by over 1% per Minos attempt would return to normal, with the potential to be helped by him in the future without damage to their foundation.

But while these improvements greatly strengthened Minos’ allies, whether they were stable, they worsened the life expectancy of the enemies used as guinea pigs.

Losing 10% of their strength at once was enough to severely weaken a cultivator’s soul. Meanwhile, consecutive losses of 3% were enough to cripple some of Minos’ guinea pigs in just one month!

Over 20 of the 123 guinea pigs Minos used that month died during or after his experiments, a tragic sign that only affected his enemies.

This result was terrible, however, because it limited the number of times a particular cultivator could be used to enhance the powers of others.

Now, after a month of work in the Monastery of Chaos, Minos was preparing to stay in the area for a while longer, at least until he had finished with the enemies that were still alive.

But amid his experiments, a question had arisen. Could these improvements help a level 114 Sovereign become a Supreme?

To find out, he had sent a message to the guild Council, warning them not only about what he and his companions had heard before the Bloody Banquet, but also about his achievements and asking the generals to test his theories.

The man trusted by the guild’s Commander was on the verge of a breakthrough. Minos was interested in testing his theories while he still had live guinea pigs in the Monastery of Chaos.

…

Nearing his second month in Monastery Of Chaos, Minos stood next to Ruth, Abby, and the main Armhands stationed there.

Ahead of them, an elder of the Armhands had just landed in the area, along with three generals who had arrived after the Supreme Leader of the guild accepted Minos’ request to send him level 114 Generals close to their advance.

“General Minos, are you sure of your theories?” The level 120 Elder there—Segiel’s master—asked.

Unfortunately for Minos, Segiel was busy with another matter and hadn’t accompanied her teacher.

“I have concrete results right in front of the Elder.” Minos gestured to the over 30 people around him, all of whom had improved their cultivation over the past few weeks.

Abby and Ruth were on the verge of their breakthroughs, having saved several months of closed cultivation with just a few of Minos’ blessings.

They were already expecting to advance before they even returned to the guild headquarters!

The elder could feel the difference in the cultivation of some of these foreigners, people she knew herself and who she knew shouldn’t be as strong as they were right now.

The General, who had taken part in the experiments with the black liquid along with Minos and Abby, smiled in anticipation, eager to try it out and who knows, maybe break through to the 12th stage. free𝑤ebnovel.com

The guild had few resources to help Sovereigns advance to level 115, so they saved them for precious moments to use on their men. The organization was not at a critical point in its existence yet, so even in a war, it would not use such a trick now.

“Very well. You can continue with your experiments. The three Generals who came with me from the headquarters are among the strongest Sovereigns in the guild. If there’s anyone in the guild who can advance with your help, it’s them.”

“Perfect. I’ll work with them as soon as possible. However, I can’t guarantee that they’ll advance, or that I’ll have enough guinea pigs to provide them with their powers. After weeks here, I’m afraid most of my guinea pigs have perished.” Minos explained as he saw the Generals come over to his side.

“Don’t worry about that. If your experiments prove promising, I will personally collect enemies nearby and bring them to you,” she said as she walked away, disappearing from the area, but still around to help them or even just watch.

Minos greeted the three and soon led them to the area where the men he had separated for this part of his research were.

He wanted to start with them immediately!
