Chapter 40.2

Next. Uh, what is this?

That... Its a monster... Or corpse...

Who doesnt know that? Why the hell did you bring something like this?

That... I am a bit hungry... Im hungry...

There was no way that a bitch who had been created by mana would feel hungry.

What kind of bullshit is this?

No. 1 scanned the corpse of the tentacle monster and then removed it from sight as soon as she had confirmed its irrelevance to the end goal.

No. 61 held up its tentacles with both hands and rushed to a corner.

She had No. 13 and No. 27 clinging to her side.

Lets eat together too!

Wouldnt it be better to bake it?

The head... Is mine...

Roast? Boil? Shall I light it? Am I going to light a fire right now?

It would have been better if it was still alive. Ehh...

Number 1 shook her head as she overheard the useless chatter exchanged.

In fact, not only were it the alter egos, which came from mana themselves, but also the main body with the dragons blood flowing within it, which did not require any ingestion of organic matter to survive.

They were just copying the food culture of humans.

What is so good about the customs of this inferior species?

Since dragons, the greatest Transcendental beings did not need to eat, it had to be the case that eating would most certainly be an insignificant act.

Waking up, Iris began to think as she recalled hundreds of scales to the flower garden, excluding the scales currently in the hands of the emperor.

It had been a perfect plan.

The moment her alter ego tried to steal the belongings of the Emperor, their [Heaven] Attributes would resonate with each other, so they would instantly recognise each other.

Even if the attribute of the Son of Heaven was still immature, the true identity could be inferred from the minute traces of magic pollution left behind on the stolen item.

In her heart, she had wanted to descend from the sky in the form of a dragon and directly attack every corner of the city in search of him.

However, humanity was far more advanced than she had expected.

It was very different from the level of humanity described in the will and diary left by her parents.

The barrier was also more painful than she had thought, and she felt quite a bit of energy that could hurt her in the huge pile of rocks in the centre of the continent.

That was why she had chosen the next best option.

And she was satisfied that she had finally succeeded.

Lets start as soon as I collect all the remaining scales.

Now, Iris knew of the specific location of the individual with the [Heaven] attribute. Currently, not only was he in possession of her own scales, but even if he threw away the scales, it was no problem since No. 77 had coated him in her saliva.

She recalled seeing him through her alter egos heavenly eyes.

He had a clear aura with attributes that circulated throughout his body by hitching along with his blood that was pumped by his heart.

He was much more robust and tougher than she expected.

He was still lacking, but she couldnt help but think he would become a dignified master sooner or later.

Iris, with her wings spread over her naked humanoid body, was about to take flight but hesitated.

It was because she was reminded of the look in his eyes when he became embarrassed to have seen his alter ego naked.

First impressions are important.

She began examining the clothes strewn about the clearing where No. 143 had stood.
