"Why didn't the Seventh Ruler choose the Evolution fruit as it could have evolved his bloodline and given many more benefits?" Alex asked.
"The Seventh Ruler didn't choose the Evolution fruit because it had the great risk attached to it even though it is undoubtedly the best magical fruit a Ruler could choose as his gift," Varon said and then quickly explained the reason.
"I will first briefly tell you about my understanding of the difference between the evolution fruit and the bloodline fruit because it is essential to understand the value and risks of both fruits."
"The Bloodline fruit will forcefully devourer and replace an individual bloodline which is a very complex procedure but a very safe one."
"As the bloodline fruit will give a bloodline of the ancient grade, so if the individual consuming the fruit doesn't have a higher grade bloodline than the ancient grade, then the bloodline replacement procedure will be a guaranteed success," Varon said and took a short pause to let Alex digest the information.
'The Bloodline fruit would provide great benefits with close to no risks attached to it, but what about the evolution fruit.' Alex thought as he silently waited for Varon to tell about the evolution fruit.
"The Evolution fruit, on the other hand, will forcefully evolve an individual Bloodline, Physique, and so on, which is countless times harder and dangerous and more complex procedure than just replacing the bloodline with a more powerful bloodline."
"In the process of forceful evolution, there are bound to be mutation as the process is not completely controlled, and there is a very high chance that those mutations will destabilize the most basic structure of the individual bloodline."
"Domain Ruler, what do you think will happen in the condition of the bloodline structure is destabilizing," Varon said in a serious tone.
"The Evolution procedure will be immediately stopped, and all the left energy from the bloodline fruit will be wasted," Alex replied, understanding the risk.
'I wonder if the failure of the forceful evolution has any side effects, and if it does, how serve will they be?' Alex thought as images of some abominations flashed through his mind.
"I will tell you about the two Rulers who selected the evolution fruit and what they gained to help you make a better decision," Varon said in his friendly tone seeing Alex's unfocused eyes.
"The Evolution Fruit was first chosen by The First Ruler [Sir Erebus], and the benefits he received were so good that compared to them, the [Ancient Colossal Dragon] bloodline acquired by the Seventh Ruler will look lackluster."
"The Second Ruler [Raimarth Kiedrois] also selected the Evolution Fruit, but the benefits he received were nothing special, and compared to them, even half of the [Ancient Colossal Dragon] bloodline will look more lucrative."
"The benefits Both Rulers received were so different because the first Ruler had a much purer Ancestral Bloodline making his bloodline accept the forceful evolution for a longer period, granting him tremendous benefits from the evolution fruit."
"The Second Ruler, on the other hand, had the Bloodline of Nether Hydra, and even though his bloodline was pure, it was not good enough to handle the forceful evolution making it mutate in the wrong direction much quicker, granting him very few benefits."
"Domain Ruler, Do you want me to explain what benefits both Rulers gained from the evolution fruit, or do you want to know something else," Varon asked.
"Varon, You said that Sir Erebus's bloodline accepted the forceful evolution for a longer period, so did he gain complete benefits from the evolution fruit or not?" Alex asked.
"The First Ruler indeed didn't gain the complete benefits from the evolution fruit, and according to him, 34.5% energy from the evolution energy was left when his bloodline started to become unstable, resulting in the evolution process being stopped."
"If more than 30% energy of the evolution fruit got wasted, how did he gain more benefits than the Seventh Ruler?" Alex questioned before Varon could continue explaining, as things didn't make sense to him.
"I forgot to tell you the uniqueness of the unknown Bloodline fruit," Varon said, and with a small answer, he cleared Alex's doubts.
"The Law Energy percentage that each magical fruit will require to mature given by the domain is completely accurate, but the Bloodline fruit is unique."
"The Bloodline fruit gives its consumer an Ancient Grade bloodline, but they differ from Ruler to Ruler."
"As all the ancient-grade bloodlines didn't have the same level of potential, so because of that, every Bloodline fruit will require a different amount of law energy, with 97% being the maximum amount that any ancient-grade bloodline could require," Varon said.
'This makes sense, as it would be a scam if both the Elf and Dragon Bloodline needed the same amount of energy required." Alex thought.
'If 63.5% of energy from the evolution fruit could provide enough benefits that [Ancient Colossal Dragon] bloodline will look undesirable, then the energy required by its bloodline fruit shouldn't be too much.'
"How much law energy did both Bloodline fruits consume to mature," Alex asked.
"The [Noxis High Elf] Bloodline fruit consumed 41% law energy from the dawn tree while the [Ancient Colossal Dragon] Bloodline fruit consumed 53% of the law energy," Varon said, replied.
'The energy consumption is higher than I thought because 13% more energy should not make too much difference in the benefits.' Alex thought, confused by the energy percentage of the bloodline fruit.
"Domain Ruler, you are thinking in the wrong direction," Varon said, seeing Alex deep in thought.
"The Bloodline fruit will require such a vast amount of law energy because it will create a completely new thing, same with all the other magical fruit categories, but the evolution fruit is special in this scenario."
"The evolution fruit doesn't create something completely new but works and improves on an already established thing which requires a lot less law energy, and because of that, it could provide many more benefits with the same amount of energy than any other magical fruit,"
'This makes sense, but now I am more curious to know what benefits Erebus gained from the evolution fruit.' Alex thought.
"Do you mind telling me about the benefits that First and Second Ruler gained from the evolution fruit?" Alex asked with a smile.
Varon started by first telling about what benefits the Second Ruler gained and how much evolution fruit energy was used before his bloodline became unstable.
Varon explained everything in detail by giving a few examples to let Alex comprehend the benefits' true value and make it easy for him to compare with the [Ancient Colossal Dragon] bloodline.
'The benefits are not great compared to the bloodline that the seventh Ruler gained, but they are not worse than the fourth Ruler's bloodline.'
'The overall benefits the second gained are still good considering he gained so much while more than 80% evolution energy was wasted.' Alex thought after making a few comparisons.
Second Ruler's benefits from the evolution fruit included around 40% boost to his natural talent of darkness element while he also awakened the top grade talent in the Illusion element.
The elemental Physique that the second Ruler had was upgraded from Legendary to the Mythical grade, and even though his Bloodline didn't evolve a complete grade, but still his bloodline potential was enhanced, evolving him from a Seven-headed Hydra to a Nine headed hydra.
The Second Ruler gained a massive boost to his physical and mental strength, and even his ability to sense and control mana was greatly improved, allowing him to progress his strength much faster.
The overall benefits that the second Ruler gained were great, considering only 16% of the evolution energy was used before his body became unstable and the evolution process was stopped.
"Domain Ruler, do you have any questions you want to be answered, or do you want me to start explaining the benefits that the first Ruler received," Varon asked.
"I just want to know if the Second Ruler or the first Ruler faced any issues in their life because of the forceful evolution and wrong mutations?" Alex asked.
"There are no side effects to the forceful evolution process because the process will be stopped before it could develop in an unwanted direction," Varon replied.
Varon started explaining the benefits gained by the first Ruler, and after the first benefit to the last, Alex's eyes stayed wide open while his mind told him it was absolute bull crap, but he knew every word he heard was true.
'HOOOOOO.' Alex took deep breaths to calm his raging heart after Varon stopped talking.
"Domain Ruler, You need water," Varon said, and seeing Alex nod, he took out an ornate silver glass and instantly filled it with crystal clear water using magic and handed it to Alex.
'If anyone else had told me that someone gained such ridiculous and broken benefits by just consuming a magical fruit, I would curse his seven generations for fabricating such a ludicrous lie.'
'Varon has no reason to lie to me, which means everything he said is true.' Alex thought, still shaken by hearing the benefits that the first Ruler gained.
