"I can turn you into a human again," Ernest said.

  "No thanks, I'm good." Tharick instantly rejected.

  "Eh... Are you sure? I can make you super handsome with endless sexual stamina, give you some unique abilities, and even make you a combination of an archwizard and legendary warrior... Are you sure you don't want this?" Ernest asked, tempting him.

  "My current form has grown on me." Tharick shrugged.

  "Hah... there goes my attempt at making my work easier. Oh, well. I am officially branding your race as a new Divine Race." Ernest sighed.

  "A Divine Race? As in, a Dragon, Angel, Leviathan, Behemoth, Demigod, or any other race with tremendous power that would assuredly reach level 9 but has difficulty multiplying?" Tharick warily asked.

  "Yes, that kind of divine race." Ernest nodded.

  "Okay, that seems fair," Tharick muttered.

  "Hm. Since you are a sex-based one, I will give your race a few appropriate tweaks." Ernest said, putting his hand into one of the orbs.

  "First, I decided to remove your race's ability to improve through pointless Energy Ejection. That means you MUST eject your liquid inside a female WHILE still connected and have her absorb it within her body, which would then give you feedback. For women who have yet to reach the limit of benefit from your energy ejection, you can shoot inside them multiple times every day, but if she hits the limit, only the first effective one that would aid her training would be effective. If pregnant and the fetus absorbs it, it would count. Hm... I think 0.1 Mental Strength for a regur, 1 for an enhanced one and 10 for the super-enhanced one. Also, the regur shot wouldn't affect the 2nd stage, and the improved shot wouldn't affect the 3rd stage. You would also lose your ability to grow through self-grooming, so you must have females to attend to you, or you won't grow stronger," Ernest said before retracting his hand holding a golden substance.

  "That's fair... wait, super-enhanced? It would be improved even more?!" Tharick excimed.

  "I will get into that soon," Ernest said, tossing the golden substance to his side, and turning into a liquid ball.

  "What's that?" Tharick pointed at it.

  "This? Evolutionary Potential Energy. I deprived some of the potential from this ability, so it only makes sense you can gain something else." Ernest said.

  "So I can use it ter?" Tharick looked intently at the golden substance.

  "Usually, you won't have the right to do so... but I will make an exception for you, friend," Ernest smiled and reached inside another orb.

  "Allowing you to create your liquid is a given, but you need daily limits based on your evolutionary level. Hm... For your initial stage, 10 regur shots at most. For the 2nd stage, you can shoot 10 Enhanced Shots, and 100 regur shots. For the 3rd stage, you can shoot ten super-enhanced shots, 100 enhanced shots, and 1,000 regur shots. That is the limit I will allow. If you shoot inside a condom or use Sex Magic to eject outside a woman and into a collection tool and lose the potential Mental strength improvement, that is on you." Ernest said.

  Tharick did a rough calcution.

  "So, for the 1st stage, it would take about 2.8 years to evolve with 10 women and ample food. For the 2nd stage, it would take about 28 years with those conditions. In other words, a Tentacle Monster would naturally reach level 9 given these conditions?! Is that what you mean by Divine Race?!" Tharick was shocked.

  "On paper? Yes. Or ten times that amount if you are monogamous. Or forever if you are a lone loser. In other words, you should ideally have ten main women... Which I am sure your race can fully satisfy." Ernest grinned.

  "True... But what is the Super Enhanced liquid? Is it what I think it is?" Tharick asked.

  "Yes, it was already in your evolutionary trajectory! Using 1,000 Magic Power, you can form 100cc of liquid that raises 10 Magic Power, Physique, and Life Force, up to 1,000, and raise all regur affinities by 1%, up to 100%. All its other effects are also improved ten-fold while retaining its gentle nature. That is to say, you can turn any woman, even a limbless, blind, ugly, sick, and retarded beggar, into a peak level 5 perfect woman within ten days, with level 9 talent. Its value can no longer be estimated by money, nor should you even attempt selling it, or you will be in DEEP shit." Ernest warned.

  "Isn't that still pretty insane? I mean... I could create an archmage level 9 talent every ten days by buying some cheap woman before discarding her and getting a new one..." Tharick pointed out.

  "Friend, if you lowered yourself to wasting it on regur women instead of raising a loyal harem of powerful wives, you are either paranoid or a fool," Ernest said with a kindly smile.

  "Point taken." Tharick nodded.

  "Now, for reproductive probability..." Ernest then reached out to another orb.

  "Hm... I will let you retain your absolute fertilization and sterile liquid nutrient options since they fit the theme of a sex monster. However, I must remove your ability to select the race of your spawn. Instead, it would be repced by a probabilistic chart. 90% of the time, your women will give birth to females of their race. With a 9.99% chance, they will conceive a hybrid hermaphrodite. In both cases, your daughters would inherit Enhanced Sex Appeal and Nature's Beauty. In the remaining 0.01%, a Tentacle Monster would be born after a 10-month gestation and would reach sexual maturity after 18 years. That means it cannot improve until then. However, since it would likely receive your energy ejection during gestation, it would naturally be born at the 2nd stage with 1,000 overall attributes. That doubles to all of your children." Ernest expined, drawing out a huge amount of golden stuff.

  "Wow..." Tharick was amazed.

  "You're a level 9 divine creature. Having level 6 children is almost expected. I mean, look at dragons, they have tons of wyvern offspring." Ernest shrugged.

  "But isn't 0.01% a bit low? I mean, it is barely one in ten thousand..." Tharick inquired.

  "Low? I think it is banced. You are an immortal race that would have many women in its life over millennia. Aside from your main women, keeping a harem of hundreds of women is almost standard to some level 9 men. And due to the make-up of your race, you can even safely have incest with your daughters without suffering genetic fws due to your Goblin heritage..." Ernest warned.

  "That's... oddly hot?" Tharick felt somewhat disturbed.

  "Your Deviant Mind is affecting your judgment. You would find incest acceptable. But I think even you would not tolerate getting cucked by your future sons." Ernest said.

  "Bloody hell... Are you going to tweak the Digestion ability, too?" Tharick asked, changing the subject.

  "Nah. I will let you keep it since I fixed the main issue." Ernest said, motioning toward Tharick.

  The orbs re-entered him, and that was it. Only the golden potential remained.

  "So... Shall we go to the trait selection now?" Ernest asked.

  "Er... Wait! Can you also remove other things?" Tharick asked.

  "Hm? AH! Right. You probably want to get rid of Brain Eater and Deviant Mind?" Ernest asked.

  "Yes!" Tharick nodded.

  "Brain Eater isn't a problem, especially since you haven't used it yet... but Deviant Mind is already a part of you. Removing it is the same as removing a part of your brain, and you would lose your libido, becoming impotent, which is the same as crippling you. Are you sure you want me to remove it?" Ernest asked.

  "... You just don't want to remove it, do you?" Tharick narrowed his eyes at the mighty overgod.

  "Hah! As expected, you figured it out, friend!" Ernest ughed before his voice became solemn, "But seriously, messing with your brain could lead to unexpected complications, and I don't want pointless hassle. Give up and accept having incest."

  "Fuck... Worth the try." Tharick sighed.

  "That's the spirit, you degenerate pervert!" Ernest jovially said, motioning to Tharick and extracting an orb.

  Ernest didn't tweak it, instead directly crushing it into a golden substance and adding it to the golden ball.

  "There... now, let's select your new traits!" Ernest said and snapped his finger.

  Snap*

  suddenly, many orbs appeared, each carrying a different affinity or evolutionary trait.

  "Woah..." Tharick widened his eyes at the many things. And the many possibilities.

  "These are all the possibilities you can choose. I carefully removed anything that could cause another debacle. Not only will I allow you to pick whatever you want, but I will also add some bonus." Ernest snapped his fingers again, conjuring two more balls of golden liquid. One was the same size as the first, while the other was about half the volume of the other two.

  "One is the leftover potential, and another is a gift, consider it a race progenitor perk that future generations wouldn't have. You can use them to pick racial abilities and Wild Magic Affinities to your heart's content... I will allow 3rd stage racial abilities from the Legendary Humans, Goblin Lords, Succubus Lords, Nymph Matriarchs, Unicorn Lords, Changeling Lords, and Aberanthin Deep Horrors. Of course, only anything that I didn't already remove. Also, your decision has a long-sting effect on future generations and true appearance. For example, losing Brain Eater made you lose your tentacle mouths." Ernest smiled, uniting the three balls into an even rger golden ball.

  "Aw... I liked those." Tharick's shoulders slumped.

  "You chose to do it," Ernest replied.

  "True... Can you give me a numerical value and list of abilities?" Tharick requested.

  "Very well." Ernest smiled and snapped his finger.

  Several paper sheets appeared with a pen, listing skill names with numerical prices. Above them was a value of 12,500,000.

  "The total potential of a level 9 creature is 10,000,000, but I added 5,000,000 extra. Of the 2,500,000 used, 1,000,000 are used in energy ejection and growth. Another 800,000 is pced in your digestive ability, 200,000 in your regenerative ability, 100,000 for reproduction, and 100,000 for an improved version of Nature's Beauty and Enhanced Sex Appeal. The st 300,000 are for your Common Grade 100% Wild Magic Affinities, Sex Magic, Concealment Magic, and Transformation Magic. Deviant Mind is both a boon and a fw, so it bances out. Before I intervened, over half of your potential was occupied by your energy ejection and growth... to emphasize how unbanced it was before." Ernest expined.

  "Isn't 100,000 for a perfect Wild Magic Affinity super cheap?!" Tharick retorted.

  "It is not that cheap. It was 100 times cheaper when you were a 2nd stage creature, and 10,000 times as a 1st level creature. You have to pay more for such things as a higher-level creature. Why else would higher-level creatures abandon some of the abilities they had as lesser creatures? It is the same as butterflies abandoning their ability to produce silk so they could fly." Ernest said.

  "Makes sense..." Tharick nodded.

  "Now, then. Take your time... I will know when you are done." Ernest faintly smiled and vanished without a sound.

  Tharick then looked down at the list, breathed in, and scanned his options.
