1162 Eating Your Cake And Having It.
This situation is the first problem he faced when he reincarnated. It isn't a strange situation because he is not the only unborn Supreme Beast in the same situation. The plant that he is attached to is in possession of thousands of other fruits similar to his.
This plant is in a large vat of transparent liquid and one can see the form of the fetal Supreme Beasts through the thin skin of the fruits. No one will look at this setup and think it is strange even though Supreme beasts ought to lay eggs. This is because something happened to the Supreme beasts that Gehaldirah wasn't aware of.
Supreme beasts are strong. The ability to have more than one divine ability has made them a terrifying force in the realm of high heaven. But even with their power and influence, most people haven't heard about them or seen one of them because they are too few in number.
They don't attack a whole plane with three just because they are proud. They are proud but that isn't the only reason to subjugate a plane with so little. Supreme Beasts attack planes with a few soldiers because they are small in number and because they don't need more.
Their small population is mostly due to their divine ability. Their divine ability has reduced their fertility drastically just as it has made them stronger than they ought to be.
It is common knowledge that the fertility or the ability of organisms to create offspring is inversely proportional to the power of that organism and the fertility of a race is also inversely proportional to the potential of the race. So the stronger a race or individual, the lower their ability to reproduce.
A race with high potential will have low fertility. While a race with high fertility will experience a reduction in fertility the stronger the members of the race become. That's why it is easier for mortals to give birth than for transcendents to produce offspring. And it is why dragons have low fertility compared to pigs.
These two laws combine to create low fertility in the supreme beast race. They are strong individually and also as a race. A weak Supreme beast will find it difficult to reproduce much less a strong Supreme beast like a Sovereign of law.
These two rules also apply to Origin gods. It makes it almost impossible for them to reproduce. Fortunately, there is an exception for origin gods. If they want a child desperately, then they will have a child. It just depends on how much they are willing to give up to have that child.
They can have a 100% chance of producing offspring as long as they procreate with another Origin god and are willing to use some of their Origin essences. The descendants born in this way will also be able to reach the Sovereign level with certainty. If there is any disadvantage it is that this method is expensive and the offspring will have no choice but to take the path of their parent.
Legion-5's father is an Origin God. His father is also in control of a whole plane on behalf of the Supreme Alliance but his father will not produce offspring the expensive way. That method ensures quality and certainty but the supreme beast race doesn't want quality in their offspring because their offspring will have the same divine ability as them.
They want quantity so that their offsprings will not have the same divine ability as them. That will preserve the potential of their offsprings. Potential means that they can perform better than their parents and that possibility is better than quality that are copies of their parents.
Offsprings that can reach the sovereign level with certainty cannot deviate from the concept of their parents. The Supreme Alliance doesn't want that. Unfortunately for them, they have a problem with fertility. If they don't produce offsprings with certainty, then it will be very difficult to produce offsprings at all much less in large quantities.
In order to fix this problem, they adopted a special method of reproduction. It is a method to eat their cake and have it. It will increase the quantity of offspring that they produce without the need to spend Origin essence to create each offspring.
This method should not exist but the Supreme Beast race is capable of achieving the impossible thanks to their ability to use many divine abilities. The method was created when a particular origin god Supreme Beast engineered a plant concept for reproduction by fusing the demon sire with the life tree and some other divine ability. In a way, it copied the way that Supreme beasts were derived from elves.
The demon sire is the creator of demons. It is a branch from the tree of sin. The supreme beast that created this method used it has its first divine ability. So the tree of sin was the primer. Its prodigious fertility was combined with other divine abilities and special plants like the life trees to enhance it. This led to the creation of the Supreme Mother, one of the directors of the Supreme Alliance.
The plant that Legion-5 and other fetuses are attached to is just one of the independent branches of the Supreme Mother. His father and mother used their essence to pollinate the flowers of the plant given to them. The plant then produced thousands of fruits. In a way, each offspring has three parents, not two.
The plant can't stop the eggs from failing to hatch but it can increase their chances of hatching by eating the eggs that died and using them to supplement the other eggs that are still viable. This seemingly advantageous arrangement created Legion-5's first problem.
This is because for the soul fragment to successfully reincarnate, he must take over an unborn child. First, the soul fragment must destroy the fragile soul of the born child if it is present, and then take over the body. It is a simple procedure and Legion-5 succeeded in this without any issue.
