Judging from the energy radiating from the rogues, Canis assessed that their ranks weren't particularly high. At best, they were around a level 4 quota high. There weren't many Superhumans of level four; most seemed to be of level three. With Nathan and Phelan's help and his own enhanced capabilities, they could likely fend off a significant number of Superhumans at once. So, Canis needed to prolong the conversation, clueless as to when the Energy Stone's regeneration would be complete. He posed another question:"If Lancelot has lost his memory, do you still need him?""We do. As long as he's alive, whether he's unconscious or not doesn't matter."In the ethereal realm of intrigue, Canis became increasingly convinced of his intuition. It seemed Jacob had his eyes set on the Energy Stone and Lancelot's power reservoir, rather than exploiting him or targeting his life. As these thoughts brewed, a shiver of dread and trepidation overcame Canis. He feared that if anything befell Lancelot

In a military command post under the dominion of the Anthony family, Jacob was found brooding. Seated on his bed, he propped his chin upon his hand, the other shielding half his face. A grinding of teeth broke the silence before he uttered,"I often wonder, what is your true agenda? Why use my body in such ways?"A profound stillness enveloped the room, so thick one could hear the very molecules in motion. Being a high-ranking Superhuman, Jacob was privy to these whispers of nature. After an extended pause, a haunting voice, seemingly from the netherworld, echoed back,"Your only role is to obey."It was not lost on Jacob that the voice emanated from within him. He let out a heavy sigh, weariness evident in its timbre."Is my subservience only because you are my ancestor? You've razed everything I had."The specter did not immediately respond. After an agonizing wait, the voice retorted,"I've told you. I merely sent this body ahead of time. It doesn't mean it's truly yours. Besides,

Hubert was taken aback. In just a few months, the wood Superhuman had progressed remarkably. Typically, wood Superhumans evolved slower than other gifted Superpowers. But this one's rapid evolution hinted at even greater potential than usual gifted powers like fire or other elemental variants.A wood Superhuman from level one to three posed no real threat to their peers. However, by level four, a major shift occurs. Caradoc had experienced this shift when he consumed an Energy Stone and absorbed the radiant power of a mutated vine. While his level three could offer little to allies, by level four, he could grow vines soaring several meters. Hubert asked:"Cara, what's your current level?""Level 4, at its peak.""That's quite fast. And Enda?""He's at the primary stage of level 5."Caradoc's answer took Hubert aback, causing him to step back. He knew that lightning-aligned Superhumans evolved fast, but surely not this fast?"So, am I the only one still at the pinnacle of level 3?"Can

He paused for a brief moment, then turned his gaze towards Phelan, adding: "It aligns with what the gentleman mentioned earlier. He was not mistaken in any regard."Phelan dismissed the praise with a wave: "Too kind."Alberto refrained from further flattery, elaborating: "We are responsible for purifying and welcoming Superhumans who wish to enter. It truly astonishes me that you weren't enthralled by the mesmerizing trees. Your powers are indeed formidable."As Alberto spoke, his gaze settled on Hubert. By now, Lancelot had fainted on Hubert's shoulder, forcing Hubert to adjust his position to cradle him. It wasn't the first time Hubert had carried Lancelot. Thankfully, Hubert was not of small stature. With the advent of Superpowers, it wasn't uncommon for a Superhuman to carry another. Even a ten-year-old Superhuman child could lift Lancelot, provided they could wrap their arms around his sizable frame.Hubert responded with a soft smile, unaffected by Alberto's praise. Undeniably,

Each Superhuman has an individual cultivation limit. No matter how formidable or swift in their cultivation, if their energy reservoir only allows them to reach the peak of level six quota, they will forever be constrained from advancing to level seven. High-level Light Superhumans can help other Superhumans metamorphose, altering their Superpower and even expanding their energy reservoir. However, cultivating a Light Superhuman to a high level could take years. It is therefore certain from the onset that if one’s energy reservoir is insufficient for advancing from the peak of level six to level seven, the transition is an impossibility.Even if a high-level Light Superhuman expanded one's energy reservoir, it could never stretch from the peak of level six quota to level seven. Thus, only those Superhumans with adequate energy reserves can attain level seven. Hubert came to know that he could ascend to level seven solely through Jacob, who never acted on mere speculation."No. I won't
