Chapter 18: Overlord (2/2)
They understood. Even if they force it, it won't come out because it would get stuck, and you might even feel a lot of pain in the process if the bottle represents the body.
”But won't it all be resolved if you just eat enough to get 50 genes and fill it up so you can go through baptism and go to the second gene mutation, practically getting a new bottle to fill?” That was the doubt that Maisa had when she heard what Amon said.
Julia refuted what Maísa said: ”Mm, that's right, but you'll still have the 50% filled when unlocking the second one, with the second one going to be even harder to fill. So, you will remain weak since training won't achieve as much, since it is only half as strong as it could be if you didn't use a lot of meat.”
”Yes, if you're satisfied with 2 genetic unlocks, it doesn't matter, but I...” Amon showed for the first time a different look; it was a look of determination and conviction, something that during the days they spent together, Maísa and Julia didn't see, ”I'm going to be an Overlord!”
”Overlord?!” Maisa almost fell backward.
Julia took a deep breath, what Amon said was crazy, ”Amon, I understand you're a genius, but an Overlord is someone who's got 10 genetic unlocks! This is insane?!”
”I know.” Amon responded by reverting to an indifferent expression, but the tone of his voice still conveyed confidence: ”But I will become an Overlord. For that, I can't waste my white genes filling them with dirt.”
”...You are bold, that is a very high dream.” Julia would never have thought that the ever-indifferent Amon would have such a high goal.
”I'll make it,” Amon repeated indifferently and even a little coldly.
Seeing that Amon was losing patience, Maísa and Julia closed their mouths.
It was clear that they thought Amon was dreaming too high, but they had no right to step into his dream.
”Okay, I hope you make it.” Julia said softly, ”Really.”
”Mm.” Amon nodded and returned everything he'd used after sorting grain by grain. He was very patient in explaining and putting everything away. That was another thing that made the twins admire him.
And, he's right, if you're going to aim for something, it has to be big! They think that if they could go through the mutation and get a Second Genetic Unlock, that would be enough, increasing their lifespan by +100 years. However, something changed within the twins. They didn't know how far they could go, and they weren't so bold as to want to be an Overlord, but if there was at least a small chance of making it wouldn't it be interesting to fight for it?
