Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 1631: Genetics

”Ku.. ku.. Kuang!!”

Emeryʼs heart filled with a mix of relief and joy as he heard the familiar cries of the plant creatures. They gathered around him, eager to express how much they had missed him.

”Yes, I am sorry it took so long for me to return,” Emery apologized, his voice filled with sincerity.

The Chizpur brothers bounced around with exuberance, clearly showing their affection, while Twik, the Flora Colossi, appeared more serene and composed. Emery couldnʼt help but smile at their warm reception.

Emery took a moment to observe the growth of the Chizpurs, marveling at their progress. As he analyzed them, a notification flashed in his mind, providing him with detailed information about their current state:

[Chizpur Fang - Stage 6]

[Magical Creature - Level 120]

[Battle Power - 145]

Emery was surprised to discover that the five Chizpurs had reached the pinnacle of their magical creature evolution. Their powers now rivaled those of legendary beings, and their physical development reflected their incredible growth. Turning his attention to Twik, Emery noted:

[Flora Colossi - Stage 8]

[Mythical Creature Level 30]

[Battle Power - 295]

All of them certainly have improved, Emery thought to himself, pleased with their progress. Although it wasnʼt as significant as he had hoped, he felt a profound sense of relief knowing that they were all healthy and thriving.

As they spent time together, reminiscing and catching up on lost moments, Twik assumed the role of the older brother and reminded them of their responsibilities. He mentioned something about reporting for the mission they had just completed, highlighting the importance of their contributions to the Magus Alliance.

With warm farewells, the six plant creatures excused themselves and headed to meet the captain in charge of the palace. Emery watched them depart, feeling a mixture of pride for their accomplishments and a twinge of sadness for the moments he had missed in their lives.

Approaching the grand magus once again, Emery expressed his sincere gratitude for taking care of the plant creatures during his absence. The grand magus, with a gentle smile, suggested they take a stroll around the camp to have a meaningful conversation.

As they walked, the grand magus posed a question that weighed heavily on Emeryʼs mind:

”What future do you plan for them?”

Emery couldnʼt help but let out a deep sigh, feeling the weight of responsibility settle upon his shoulders. He admitted that he hadnʼt thought much about their future, as he had only recently remembered their existence. However, considering the Chizpursʼ dependence on light energy, Emery knew that his options were limited.

Sensing Emeryʼs uncertainty, Elder Yvere led him to one of the guarded tents, where crates filled with tubes of crystals were stored. The elder explained, ”The truth is, I have been assigned as caretaker of this place for one reason: to prepare for our departure.”

Emeryʼs confusion grew, and he questioned, ”What do you mean?”

Elder Yvere revealed a startling truth: ”We are abandoning this planet, Emery. The Magus Alliance is extracting the last of its resources before we leave.” I think you should take a look at

The revelation struck Emery with a mix of surprise and understanding. The slow withdrawal of the Magus Alliance from the sector suddenly made sense. However, he realized with a heavy heart that the Chizpurs and Twik would not be able to stay in this place for long.

”We have two years to complete the relocation,” Elder Yvere continued.

Emery pondered the newfound information, realizing that he knew no other places with such abundant light energy. He turned to the grand magus, seeking guidance.

The grand magus looked at Emery intently and asked, ”Thereʼs someplace that I would recommend, but I wonder if you or anyone will be looking out for them, or if you will just leave them there?”

Emeryʼs resolve strengthened, and he replied firmly, ”No, Elder, I will definitely take care of them”

As Emery made this solemn promise, he couldnʼt help but feel the weight of the responsibility. With so many challenges ahead, he questioned whether he could truly fulfill his commitment. ꞦΆNỌꞖĘ𝙨

Sensing Emeryʼs hesitation, Elder Yvere said with understanding, ”There is another matter you should know.”

During the three years the grand magus had spent with the plant creatures, the elder had made a troubling discovery. 

”Mysteriously, there is a genetic difference between the matured Chizpurs and the young ones,” he explained, his voice tinged with concern.

Emeryʼs eyes widened in surprise and worry. He struggled to comprehend how such a discrepancy could exist. The grand magus elaborated, explaining that not only were the five brothers unable to evolve to the next stage of their development, but they were also incapable of procreating like the younger Chizpurs.

”How is that possible!?” Emery exclaimed, his mind racing with thoughts and questions.

Feeling the weight of the situation, Emery and the grand magus engaged in a deep discussion, determined to uncover the cause of this genetic disparity.

There was one situation happening with the light wisp at the Pandora planet that made the mature one different, but Emeryʼs put his bet on  the fact that the young ones had been given an upgraded [metamorph potion] infused with [celestial essence], a concoction that seemed to have influenced their growth.

The grand magus believed that the solution might lie in recreating a similar potion, one that could potentially bring about the desired changes in the mature Chizpurs. This way, they could regain the ability to procreate, and perhaps even alleviate the younger onesʼ constant need for light energy.

However, Emeryʼs mind couldnʼt escape the traumatic memory of the previous potion incident, where it had nearly resulted in the death of all the plant creatures. The process of creating such a potion was complex and delicate, and he lacked the necessary spellcasting abilities to execute it.

Time was of the essence, as the grand magus reminded Emery that they had only two years to solve this dilemma. 

”I will very much prefer for you to find a solution for them, but if you cant take care of their needs, in two yearsʼ time I am ready to bring them back to my homeworld with me”

These words weighed heavily on Emeryʼs mind, adding another layer of responsibility to an already daunting task.

Aware of Emeryʼs internal struggle, the grand magus offered a final remark, ”I hope you can make the right decision for them. They are counting on you.”

Emeryʼs mind whirled with thoughts and concerns. The future of the Chizpurs and Twik seemed uncertain, but he was determined to find a way to ensure their well-being and happiness.
