Melody couldn't believe what she had just heard. "This information... if it's leaked to the world, it's going to shock them. But at the same time, it's also going to make us targeted by a lot of organizations..."
"Yeah." Kanaria fell silent for a moment. "Clovis's grandfather told him not to take on any beast souls probably because he wants Clovis to remain a pure human. As a Tier 9 explorer, there should be another reason why he wants it that way, so this information might not be as simple as we think."
"That's kind of true. We don't know the depth of the Hacfield family. But all the Tier 9 humans known so far have understanding and strength beyond what we can imagine." Melody nodded in agreement. "But don't you think the other path is not that bad as well?"
"Indeed. While humans will lose their versatility, they will still gain the strength of the beasts. If that happens, we might be able to get stronger from radiation like how these beasts mutate... But I don't dare draw any conclusions about it. All I can say is that this path also holds a lot of potential." Kanaria looked down, falling into deep thought.
"Still, the most shocking part is definitely the second part. The research of genetic mutations" Melody frowned.
"Indeed. We currently have two beast souls with us. Thylacine's beast soul is similar to the one that Professor Waod showed earlier, while Yurlunggur's beast soul could produce poison.
The former could become a hidden sword, while the latter will allow us to produce toxins from other parts of our body instead of the mouth, like how the original beast soul intended." Kanaria explained based on the understanding she had.
"Indeed. In fact, people like us can take advantage of the Thylacine's beast soul as protection. If you had that kind of claw or short sword coming out of your hands, wouldn't the battle against the beast earlier become easier?"
"Definitely. And in fact, I could even use the latter for myself. I could coat my bullet with poison. While I do need to modify my rifle a bit to withstand the corrosive power of the poison, it's still going to be extremely powerful. I might be able to kill even a Tier 3 beast myself."
"Still, the biggest problem lies in the fact that we have to find someone who can do the injection." Melody frowned. If they had to share this with another person, there was a risk of it being leaked. They would definitely be targeted soon.
But if they spread this information, they couldn't reap the benefits. So, Melody didn't know what they should do.
"No. The essence of polygamy in the past was different. It wasn't about lust. It was about families' connections. For example, what if a person marries a medical expert, a businesswoman, and a logistic expert?"
"Are you implying that the medical expert could help the health problem or probably the business if it's related to the medical field? And the logistic expert can help with the business and the supply for the medical expert. And the businesswoman can make more money thanks to her husband, who marries the other two women?"
"That's right. I will be lying if I'm not jealous about him having multiple wives in the future, but I'm not going to stop him. Instead of being a selfish little prick, I might as well allow it. I might even become a bit closer to my goal that way." Kanaria sighed.
"Aren't you just finding excuses for yourself?"
"Yes and no. I'm just telling you that I don't want it to be similar to Ivan. At the very least, I want people that have the same bottom line... where if something goes awry, everyone doesn't hesitate to use all their resources to help the big family instead of running away."
Melody couldn't help but look at Kanaria with a dumbfounded face.
"What?"
Melody rubbed her cheek while saying, "Nothing. I just realized you're stronger than I expected."
"Strong? I'm simply acknowledging that I'm too weak to monopolize him. If I can do everything, there won't be talk like this. Then again, why does our talk escalate from your teasing?" Kanaria shook her head helplessly, not knowing why she responded to her teasing this seriously.
"That's true. Clovis and Jay should be waiting for us. Since we've got what we're coming for, we should help them and return to our position."
"Yeah. Let's go."
