ing weapons mid-battle.
Finally, they used Common nameless weapons. 

The battle had been an interesting one.
Draco had used this chance to refine his Paragon Sword Technique that had grown too fast for its britches since his stats and various side-abilities had become too numerous. 

As for Essence, while he did not have a dedicated Spear Technique, he was currently in the process of forming one.
What shocked Draco was the speed at which the fellow grew during their battle. 

Draco had easily been overwhelming him at the start, but towards the end of their almost 5-hour battle, the fellow had been able to defend around 50% of Draco's attacks. 

As for catching up to him, it was a bit too far-fetched, even with Essence's talent.
Draco was someone who had been top-tier in terms of techniques in the previous timeline and had acc.u.mulated even more in this one. 

Essence was not a reincarnator, so he would have to accept that Draco was like an insurmountable wall.
At least, unlike 99% of others, he was blessed in that he was able to see the zenith instead of remaining at the bottom, unable to comprehend even how large it was. 

What were the criteria for possessing this ability? How come he had it, but Eva did not, despite the two of them arguably being the most special beings in the universe? While Essence was unique, he couldn't compare to Eva, so how come he had it as well? 

'No, I'm looking at it from the wrong angle.' Draco realized. 

Rather, it was more imperative to ask the question: ”What do Essence and I share in common that others do not? ” When it came down to that, the answer was quite simple. 

The first thing was their bloodline.
They were both members of the Lucifer Lineage and had high purity compared to others, but Draco ruled this out.
After all, if this was the case, this innate technique generator would not be something undoc.u.mented in the history of the Lineages.
Even if it was something special to their Lineage, then his aunt would have told him about it. 

The second thing was their Draconic affiliation.
However, this was also a problem because Essence's serpentine affiliation was one stage below that of a dragon, and it was only within Boundless that he enjoyed this status. 

The third thing was their race.
They were both humans, so could it be something related to their humanity? In a twisted way, Draco believed this to be more of the case, for his previous theory had been that the innate technique generator was something like Control, something that was unique to the OG human race before they were destroyed. 

And so, Draco had largely theorized that he possessed something in his OG human genes that Eva did not, giving him this ability.
It seemed that Essence also possessed this strange gene, but Draco had no idea what it was, how to identify it, and most importantly, how to awaken it in others. 

Whatever the case, he discussed their individual histories and how they planned to go forward in-depth with Essence.
Draco was surprised by the other's calmness and willingness to accept direction despite his high talent, while Essence was shocked that the reincarnation of the progenitor was so easy-going and thoughtful. 

Impressed with each other, they became fast friends and left on a good note.
What was more interesting was Draco's meeting with Tunder Power, who was also surprised by him. 

There was a slight resonance between their genes, but it was not in terms of the lineage, but likely his OG human genetics.
This further baffled Draco, because the OG humans, according to Lucifer and Amaterasu, had been just like the current humans, largely normal. 

What had been special about them was their intellect as well as their crazy ability to adapt and develop.
There was nothing about them having wood elf, vampire, werewolf or etc genes in them that would mutate over time. 

That was why the previous conclusion was that the Supernatural fellows had awoken leftover bloodlines from stuff that hadn't made it into the Lineages. 

Well, this didn't exactly conflict with Draco's current findings, so he could accept it as it was.
Naturally, he shared his findings with Eva, who also concurred with his conclusions. 

When Draco had completed his self-imposed task, allowing his various citizens to merge and avoid xenophobia towards their neighbors, he decided to expand his own house. 

He called Hoover over and told the butler to bring over the various concubines he had seeded during the quest for Eva and the Three NPC beauties to inspect. 

Hoover himself was now the Morningstar Clan's head butler, so he had to spend some time acquainting himself with the rules of the main plane as well as the situation of the clan. 

When he learned the deeper details of the clan, he was shocked then ecstatic! What a powerful bloodline! What powerful potential! No, this clan would definitely rise to the top and rule this entire world. 

He, Goatman Hoover, would rise along with this clan.
As such, he had to do his utmost best to manage everything behind the curtains for the clan and make sure that – at least – in this area of expertise, there would be no problems. 

As for Zaine and Eva, they were much stricter and only sought quality.
While they wouldn't send the concubines away, the more unremarkable ones were placed in a lower tier than the 28 human concubines, but above the slave girls. 

As for Ophie, the four of them quickly fell in love with her and pampered her.
Her status even rose to a level above Verita, leaving the former head maid speechless. 

However, an interesting consequence emerged from this summons.
Out of the various concubines Hoover brought over, all of them were sporting large bellies of different kinds except one birdwoman who was out of place. 

Zaine, as usual, was the first to notice this abnormality as her eyes gleamed.
