Chapter 731: Child
However, Alana continued,
"What if someone becomes 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 immediately fell silent.
Meanwhile, 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.
Meanwhile, Ariana and Haku occupied the medium positions.
After making the final adjustment, Ivy smiled with satisfaction.
However, Siya and Paris immediately 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 became confused.
"Why are both of you being so dramatic?"
Truthfully, Ivy’s feelings toward Siya and Paris were somewhat complicated.
The two of them were incredibly strange.
Most of the time they lounged around doing absolutely nothing.
They spent entire days discussing random topics.
Sometimes they even played pointless games for hours.
More than once, Ivy had started wondering whether they believed they were on some kind of luxurious vacation.
Just as she was thinking that, Paris suddenly shouted,
"You’re basically giving us a child!"
The moment those words left his mouth, Ivy froze.
Her smile vanished. "What?"
She blinked. "I am giving you what?"
Paris immediately realized something.
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 became increasingly serious.
"Whoever is transformed through your blood becomes your descendant. Or, to put it more bluntly..."
He pointed toward the formation.
"You are creating children."
The moment 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 same thing.
And for the first time in a very long while... neither of them knew what to say.
"Stop saying nonsense. Stop entertaining those ridiculous words."
Paris immediately shot back, her voice echoing through the room.
"What blood type do you have?"
Ivy froze for a moment. Her brows furrowed as she searched her memory before finally shaking her head.
"I never underwent a blood test."
Hearing that, Paris rolled her eyes so hard that it seemed as though she might strain them.
"Of course you don’t know what blood type you have. The same blood is running through everyone you’ve used this conversion formation on. If that’s the case, then how come you haven’t become a parent?"
Ivy was rendered speechless. Even the others standing nearby fell silent.
A strange feeling suddenly surged within Silas. Jealousy.
The mere 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 something 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 immediately 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 time passed, Felix felt something 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 remember 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 someone. After all, their bloodline is much purer."
The moment 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 extremely 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 mercy, why should she hesitate?
As those thoughts crossed her mind, Alice and Felix slowly regained consciousness.
The moment they opened their eyes and looked around, both of them became stunned.
Especially Alice. Her hand instinctively moved toward her stomach.
The painful lump that had tormented her for so long had completely vanished.
For safety, Alana immediately performed another examination.
Several minutes later, her eyes widened with excitement.
Looking toward Ivy, she exclaimed, "The lump is completely gone!"
A visible sigh of relief escaped Ivy’s lips. Meanwhile, Alice touched her face repeatedly.
The smooth skin beneath her fingers felt strangely different. "I keep feeling as though I’ve become 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 become a superior being."
However, before Ivy could even respond, Silas immediately interrupted.
"Do you think this is some 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 tremendous 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."
