"Indeed," the mule confirmed.
"No one has ever created concentrated essence. And no one knows its use… or is it really the case?"
"As an apology, I’ll tell you about it… not that it’ll benefit you." The mule paused for a moment. "The concentrated essence is different from the normal essence. The concentrated essence is actually proof that fusion is possible.
"In the past fifty years, no one has ever managed to combine essence because they’re reacting to each other.
"However, this concentrated essence is the proof that something like that is possible. There are only two usages that have been found so far. The first is poison.
"During a super injection, your body is absorbing the essence of numerous beasts. However, all those essences are not combined. They’re flowing at their own pace, as a result, your body can handle one or two essences at once, allowing your body to adapt.
"But this concentrated essence is different. You can imagine yourself having to face one hundred different beasts. Even if your mind can keep up, your body will be different. While it’s not a real poison, it can harm your body.
"The second usage is actually for research purposes. If we can actually combine multiple essences in one’s body, would we be able to create a chimera?
"Essence contains a lot of genes from the beasts. This is one of the biggest reasons why they’re unable to mix with each other. And this possibility might allow us to create a beast much stronger than the beasts in this world."
Clovis frowned. "And for what reason do you need to create a beast like that? You should know that the beasts are humans’ common enemies."
"Common enemy? I don’t think so. No, you also don’t think that way, right?" The mule was implying that he already knew about Reolf. It seemed that he observed his battle earlier.
Most people didn’t see the battle since it was inside his house and there was a fence that blocked their views. But that wasn’t a problem for the mule.
"…" Clovis’ expression turned dark as if he was ready to kill him if necessary.
The mule immediately added, "Of course. The original intention of creating such a beast is actually to break through the world’s limit."
"The world’s limit?"
"Indeed. Currently, Tier 9 is the limit. However, we all know that throughout history, evolution is limitless. If one is not enough, we will do it together. And eventually, there will be a new limit.
"I wonder how this world will react when it finds a beast much better than its simulation." The mule looked at the sky as if he were trying to see anything that made this simulation world.
While his goal was to find out about the truth, he didn’t know if he would be insane enough to endanger the whole world to find that truth.
At the same time, he had found another clue about this simulation world, which was the glitching system that only several people in the world were able to see.
"It seems that you are hunted by a lot of people…"
"Hahaha. Not as much as you." The mule shrugged.
"Not as much as me, huh? Is that the reason why you’re creating the chaos?" Clovis finally understood why the mule created chaos.
The mule smiled helplessly. "Indeed. People, especially those high-ranking ones, who could figure out your identity after some extensive investigation should be focusing more on you than me, who is bringing this important cube."
Clovis snorted. "And you shifted people’s attention from that cube to me by creating all this chaos."
"Those assassins are kinda dumb anyway. I’m glad it’s so easy to trick them. Even the Drake Group and the Rusth Family were so focused on their own thrones they didn’t realize they were sitting on a sinking boat.

"There are a lot of agents that are spread around to avoid getting people’s attention. And only I have the real one. I’m not too weak nor too strong, and I have experience operating as a mule. So I’m the perfect candidate to send this."
"And is it alright for you to reveal this reason to me?" Clovis didn’t care much about the organization, but he just didn’t want unnecessary problems.
"As I said before, I just want to apologize for using you and this city. And probably, this cube of mixed essence is a part of the cause of those fallen cities. In the end, we are living in a chaotic world."
"There is no way I can forgive you for using me, right? You are bold enough to use the grandson of a Tier 9 explorer." Clovis snorted.
"Hahaha. That’s why I’m showing this cube to you and explaining my reasons. Someone as smart as you should understand the importance of this information. And I know that you won’t tell anyone about it."
Clovis clicked his tongue. "I guess you originally planned to use Ivan."
Clovis indirectly implied this was the reason why Vina approached Ivan. And the mule confirmed it. "Indeed. I was fortunate enough to meet someone like you in this city. I know you won’t forgive me. However, I’m planning to compensate you.
"Compensate me? How? I’m not that easy to appease."
"Even if I tell you that there is a Tier 8 human coming to this place?"
"!!!" Clovis widened his eyes. "The capital?"
"Yes. As compensation, I have been spreading false rumors about you in other cities. It should buy you several days. However, you should get away as soon as possible. It seems that this country doesn’t want you to leave."
Considering the president had known about his existence, he obviously wanted to get a hold of an important piece like him. The compensation might not be worth it for anyone else, but this was extremely important for Clovis.
Clovis thought for a moment and raised a finger. "I want you to send a message to the east wall. And after that, we can call this even."
The mule smiled. "With pleasure."
