Reincarnated as a World

Ch.34 What An ‘Honourable’ Brother

In the Central Continent, nothing else worth mentioning happened within the first 30 years of Eridel’s seclusion, however, the World was much bigger than just the Central Continent. Over in the Western Continent, Chad, the only Phoenix and most powerful being in the continent should have had the easiest time out of all the powerhouses in this World.

He had power, status and women, what more could a Beast want? His future was bright and unbarricaded so there should have been no problems.

But unfortunately, that couldn’t be further from the truth.

While he was powerful and had all he could want, he wasn’t prepared at all for things to go oooh~ so wrong.

...

Unlike the other powerhouses, Chad had decided to have children fairly quickly. The thing about having children as a Beast is that you would ALWAYS be weakened as a result of it. Most of the time it was negligible, but the stronger your race, the more weakened you would be when trying to create more of this race. This is the reason why the other Beast powerhouses had refrained from bearing children, waiting on the time for everything to be perfectly safe.

But Chad is the most powerful person in his vicinity so how could he have such misgivings? Plus, he had already had Children before but they were killed in the Magical Outburst, something that always weighed heavily on his mind so he decided that he was ready to repopulate his clan once more.

Unfortunately, Chad had failed to detect the threat that had been waiting patiently right under his nose.

Chad had many subordinates, including Humans, but there were 3 people that would always be closest to him. His 2 wives and his last surviving brother whom we will call ‘Honourable Brother’ for now. It’s how Chad had been addressing him, not knowing the concept of names.

All 3 of them were strange animals that looked like 2 metre tall dodo birds, the next evolution after Chicken. They were also lucky enough to have obtained the Ice Affinity, a result of a special treasure that Chad had provided them with after his adventure across the continent.

They had already had Water Affinity thanks to being in the Spring of Life when they evolved so upgrading that Affinity to the Ice Affinity wasn’t too hard for 1st generation beasts like them no matter how untalented their race was.

Obviously, for Chad who was a fire aligned Beast, there was no longer any compatibility between him and his wives. But despite this, he still decided to impregnate them. With his life energy and the fact that they were previously the same species, it was enough to smooth over the edges.

Plus, he was the one that would be providing all the energy for the eggs, saving his wives from being drained just to support his children. Unfortunately, this meant that he would be the one weakened.

Providing the perfect chance that good old Honourable Brother had been waiting for all this time.

…

A few days after Chad had gone into seclusion to recover his Mana, Honorable Brother finally struck.

With his Stage 9 Magic Beast strength, he easily invaded the cave where the 2 wives had laid an egg each, ruthlessly killing the stationed guards on his way.

When he entered and saw the 2 wives, he looked at them with an obvious lascivious desire in his eyes but quickly focused his attention on his true goal. The eggs of a Phoenix. But more accurately, the essence and bloodline within!

Yes! This Honourable Brother was actually coveting the bloodline of a Phoenix in hopes that when he evolved at the Spirit Beast Stage, he would overcome his limits and become a Phoenix himself! This was the true reason why he had stopped cultivating when he became a peak Stage 9 Magic Beast.

With haste, he quickly kicked the 2 wives out of the way and grabbed the 2 eggs under his wings. Without hesitating, he quickly fled, knowing that he didn’t have much time to glorify his easy success just yet.

All the beast started to squawk, roar or howl, when they heard the grievous news from 2 royal wives, enraged by the betrayal of their 2nd in command. The stronger ones all began to rush out, intent on saving the King’s children, but at this point the Honourable Brother had fled quite far.

He was a Stage 9 Beast on the cusp of becoming a Spirit Beast after all, how could they catch him? Soon, he wasn’t even in sight and eventually, they lost him completely.

A few hours later, Chad had finally been informed.

“SHEEEEEERR!!!”

A heavenly phoenix cry filled with righteous wrath filled the air, scaring every living being that heard and even causing the weaker beings to bleed through their ears and faint.

Alas, Chad could barely even move right now. For a female Beast to provide the energy to rear a powerful baby, it’s extremely exhausting and they would definitely be bedridden, and for a father to provide that energy it was even worse. So imagine the situation Chad would be in when he did it twice in one go?

…

1 Week Later

At this moment, the Honourable Brother was attempting to use the technique that Eridel had left as an inheritance for every Beast. The [Evolutionary Blood Beast Technique].

This was a power technique that Eridel had inherited from the golden orb who’s name and origin he still didn’t know. It was supposed to be used on the off-chance that when he finally collided with a core, it was a Beast core, he would have the best technique to overcome his racial limits.

This technique allowed one to use the blood of another Beast to evolve, either taking aspects of that Beast or becoming that Beast and taking aspects of your previous race if your previous race was that trash in comparison.

Of course, the technique that Eridel had passed on to the Beasts of his World was heavily revised and had many limitations.

1. The technique could only be used once in your entire life.

2. You could only use the bloodline of a Beast similar to yourself. For example, a Bird should not use a Wolf bloodline. If you ignored this, death is your only future.

3. There had to be at least 70% compatibility. If not, death is your only future.

4. The technique could only be used when you were evolving into a Spirit Beast, if you used it before then,  death is your only future.

5. Using the technique would take your entire cultivation base as compensation.

There were other limitations but those 5 were the ones that prevented the Beasts from being hasty the most. With countless Beasts dying everyday from failure to meet the requirements, the more intelligent Beasts were hesitant to try.

And it was this technique that our great ‘Honourable’ Brother was currently using.
