lightsΝοvel 1172 The Motivating Stories.

If Legion-5 dies in the blood crucible then he will at least get something from his body. But if Legion-5 survives the blood crucible then it is almost impossible for him to die until he becomes an Origin god. It will be too late for him then. Unfortunately, he doesn't want to cross the Supreme Alliance so he can only watch his chance slip away.

He said to himself, "His mutation is probably nothing. It is unlikely that it will be significant. There is no need to stress myself on something that might turn out useless."

He said that to help himself give up on his motives for his son. It is self-deceptive but it is likely true too. Legion-5 is not the first mutant that he will encounter in his mission as the guard overseer of the plane but none of them have amounted to much.

Legion-5's situation is just peculiar and their some unanswered strangeness about his circumstances. That doesn't mean he will be useful to advance his research on maximizing the potential of Supreme beasts. So he stopped thinking about Legion-5.

Legion-5 on their hand spent an extra 2 years in the second incubator. His soft body solidified to become something rubbery. It is harder now but it is still elastic.

"I can't complain much." He said to himself. "At least I can move now."

Movement is good but he wasn't allowed to leave his incubator yet. The managers of the hatchery waited until 1024 hatchlings were matured physically and had developed an immune system before taking them out of the incubator.

"Where are they taking me now?" He thought to himself. "Are they taking us to be tested?"

Legion-5 was placed in a cart on a train. He was wheeled around the large metallic complex to places unknown. No one had mentioned anything about where they were going. The only thing he has heard ever since he was born was from the speaker in the vault he was placed in.

The speaker used their divine sense to speak to all of them. Most of the hatchlings didn't know what was said at first but they learned quickly through the transmission of feelings.

All of them were born at the vitality core stage with awakened divine sense which is very odd. They have strong souls but very weak bodies. This is the opposite of most races. Legion-5 suspects that their race was engineered to be this way because it is not natural for hatchings and newborns to have awakened souls. They might have weak bodies but it is always accompanied by weak souls.

Stories were read to them in the incubator day and night by the speaker. The stories were mainly about fighting and survival. There was a story about a man who was stranded on an island. It is the favorite story of most hatchlings.

The stranded man had to survive against bad weather, diseases, wild beasts, hunger, and attacks from cannibals. The man didn't die. He survived and thrived. He managed to outsmart the indigenous people on the island and subdued them. He enslaved all of them and became the king of that island.lightsnovel

There was another story about a group of kids who were stranded on an island with limited resources. They fought each other for resources to survive. They even killed and ate each other.

Most of them died due to external environmental factors through attacks from wild beasts and sickness from eating bad food but some of them managed to survive by being smart and ferocious. Their numbers were reduced until only a few survived.

The third story is about conquering foreign lands and colonizing them. The protagonist exploited the resources of the colonized territories to develop a great empire. A lot of stories were read to them but all of them was about killing their enemies, surviving at all costs, and thriving on the corpses of their enemies.

"This is brainwashing." Legion-5 had said when he heard the stories and noticed their common themes.

He found it weird that the first thing that the young impressionable minds of the hatchlings experienced were stories about fighting and winning those fights.

He found it extra weird that the hatchlings don't have a bloodline so they don't have any instincts or resistance to the subtle mental influence. Domination and superiority were hammered into their heads. All of them wanted to be conquerors after listening to the story for years.

He only listened to them for 2 years. But there are others that have been there for double that time. They are not like him who has an extra source of potent sustenance. So it wouldn't surprise him if all of the hatchlings had been successfully brainwashed.

He personally didn't care for the stories. It is not that he disagreed with the themes. He is just not a naive baby who knows nothing of the world. He has already done most of the things in the stories so it was boring to listen to.

If not for the fact they were told regularly that they would be tested on the knowledge that they had acquired from the stories, he wouldn't have bothered to listen. That's why he is expecting them to be taken to have the test right now.

He grumbled to himself, "I'm not worried about any tests. I can ace any test. In fact, I don't care about any test. I just want to move around and see the world."

He paid attention to the stories so he wasn't worried about any tests. His memory is perfect and his intelligence is certainly ahead of his peers. It is not much of an achievement since his peers are babies. That's why he is not concerned about the test at all.

What he wants to do is to be able to finally move and explore. He can walk now but he hasn't been able to because they sealed all of them in a tiny space. It makes him feel as if he is a prisoner.
