Supreme Monarch-Chapter 226 C226. Immerse Growth
Although there were a lot of questions spiraling through his head at the moment. Tyler knew he couldn't get the correct answers from Uriel. After all, there was a limit to the type and amount of information she could get. With her divination and connection to the void Library, she could gain some hidden knowledge from the astral plane but this information was beyond her means.
'How presumptuous of me, I had assumed Rain was a nickname that was probably short for Raine or perhaps something else, but it seems I was wrong. I didn't expect it to be listed as a title though. It seems she had earned that title as a codename of sorts. If my guess is correct all the Dark Elves from the Alcar family should be in a similar state.'
Tyler had never presumed to understand the working of noble society, especially the operations of the Great Five. This was why their actions with Dark elves completely baffled him even after they'd abolished the use of Dark elves as slaves.
Their lack of names aside, something else about Rain's data bothered him a lot. That was the fact that she had an innate ability of a similar nature to the Alcar family. This was not something Tyler could consider as a coincidence. It was now blatantly obvious to him that Liz was not the only one being experimented on.
Innate abilities were still largely a mystery to many in this world. They could only be awakened by a few and only those strong enough could attempt to pass them down to their offsprings. However, even then, not many were successful.
These abilities vary in strength and were completely unique and one could only possess one. However, it would seem like the Great Five has been researching ways to alter and transfer one's innate ability to themselves.
Due to their unpredictable nature. It was indeed possible for commoners or even Demi humans to gain a powerful innate ability that could shake the balance of this world. This was a fear that had been etched into the minds of the Great Fives due to the appearance of the Seven Primordial Behemoths.
This was the reason why the Brimstone family had kidnapped Liz and attempted to transfer her innate ability to someone else, possibly the demon lord. However, from what Tyler could tell, and what Uriel had analyzed from her divination. All five families have begun to make progress in their experiments with innate abilities over the last few decades.
Naturally, in order to achieve such a near-impossible feat, sacrifices needed to be made and disposable subjects needed to be selected for their various testing and experiment to perfect such a procedure.
Looking at Rain's Innate ability that seems to mirror those of the Alcar family. An uncomfortable feeling steadily washed over him. For some reason, he did not believe she had obtained that ability naturally.
He had always found it strange the family would task a child with the responsibility of protecting another child but now he knew why. When it came to sensitive experiments such as the ones they were conducting. Finding the perfect test subjects to satisfy the process was a must. In the end, it didn't seem like Liz was the only one that was experienced.
Tyler's gaze slowly drifted towards Liz and he could immediately tell she was unaware of this. Perhaps Rain felt she would blame herself and didn't want that. It would explain why she hadn't used her innate ability even in the worst of situations.
'Sigh... What a drag... These Great Fives are seriously going to give me a migraine.'
Tyler's irritation kept escalating but before his emotions could spike further, Uriel had used Placate on him yet again and Tyler finally calmed down. He held back the urge to massage his temples as he was still maintaining a ruler's persona.
He decided to put the matter aside for now as there wasn't much he could do about it. He then went through the details of Rain's skills one by one as they were revealed to him by Uriel. She seems to now possess a skill called Wisdom, which was essentially the same as Wisdom of Uriel without the connection to the Void Library or Uriel's parallel existence helping her. 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺
Fate Manipulation was a Divine tier skill Tyler had only learned recently due to its high compatibility with him. It had sub-skills like Probability manipulation and Luck enhancement as well as the power to reject Fate. It was a skill Tyler had a feeling he would need in the future so he took the time to learn it.
She had also gotten several more skills from him like Gravity Manipulation and Hyperspeed Regeneration. Her skill Ultraspeed was a Divine Tier skill that boosted her speed past her normal physique. As a true demigod now, she could even move faster than light. Even he was unaware of how fast she was but naturally, there was a limit to how much she could use it.
Tyler then quickly went through the rest of her skills and made a mental note of them before retiring his attention back to Rain herself. His analysis of her information and various hypotheses had only taken him a moment in real-time so he hadn't kept anyone waiting.
"Well done. You were also able to absorb my power efficiently. This pleases me greatly."
"Oh... Thank you, Lord Ty."
After congratulating Rain and watching her observe herself in amazement, Tyler called for Zomatsu next. He would focus on the four of them first before beginning his true experiments with the others. He decided not to do the same for Erin because she had just recovered her source and was only just getting accustomed to her new self and not because he didn't want her to get even much more powerful than him. Of course not.
Repeating the same thing for the kneeling Z, a surge of fierce energy left Z's body which surprise Tyler a little because the dude had only been at the Tier 4 standards and Tyler hadn't expected much but as it turns out, the lower one's level was, the greater the effect of his ability even when the absorption rate is low.

'Huh, everyone just keeps surprising me today. From what I can tell the mana I use is important but I still can't force them to surpass two full-tier increases.'
With his new Mana control thanks to the skill Energy Manipulation, he could now accurately judge how much mana he was expending and he had used the exact amount for all three of them so far. However, only Z and Albert had jumped by more than a Tier.
They had both increased by one full tier and one level. Albert went up from Tier 5 intermediate to Tier 6 peak and Z went from Tier 4 peak to Tier 6 basic. Both of their magic potentials had gone up by two full tiers which was a boom for them.
Still, the fact that Rain had only gone up by a level bothered him a little although he could guess that the every required to become a demigod was far greater than he had expected.
Since she was the first to become a demigod from his ability. He would have to confirm his theory with Liz. Increasing the mana used by the right percentage should help him confirm what he wanted to know.
Before that though, he decided to go through Z's stats before calling on Liz. It wasn't surprising that he had the title of Genius but the fact that the nickname he gave him was considered a title was interesting. It made Tyler consider how these titles were assigned.
Mind Manipulation was also one of the skills Tyler had learned a few minutes before this gathering and so was Dark Flames Manipulation. He had chosen to learn a dark element because he was jealous— I mean interested in Erin's dark Water Control.
Dark Flames and Lightning Manipulation were Advance skills but they could be upgraded to the divine skill Dark Elemental Control if he learns the other three dark elements.
After going through his skills and making a mental note of them in a single moment, Tyler congratulated Z which was the usual line while altering his wordings a little. Z who was normally cool-headed and analytical seemed to be overjoyed as he stood up and moved to the side in awe reverence and admiration.
The last of the Vince was Liz. She quickly moved forward after Tyler had called for her and knelt before him. Having already tasked Uriel to calculate the right percentage to increase his mana output without damaging Liz's mana body. Tyler used his ability again while keeping track of his body conditions in order to gauge his limits and judge Liz's absorption rate.
Luckily, nothing had gone wrong but he had learned what he had done was risky as it had almost destroyed Liz's mana body so his mana output when using his ability from this point on should not exceed that level.

'Indeed. Both Rain and Liz would've only gone up by a level if my mana output stayed the same but Liz had gone up to two-level after increasing my mana output by a lot. The mana required to go further is insane.'
After observing her improvement and mulling over the disparity in the mana he used on her versus the others, Tyler decided to go through the details of her skills and ability. Seeing her innate ability was sealed meant only Snow had access to it for some reason but that was a problem for another day.
She was truly an Ice specialist as even her skills were geared towards that. Absolute Freezing was similar to Erin's Absolute Burning and could freeze anything in unmeltable ice that could last for eternity. It could also freeze spiritual and conceptual beings like gods.
She should also be able to learn a lot more powerful spells than Rain seeing as she was a pure mage and was one level higher now.
After going through all her skills and mulling over the various possibilities she could take, he made his usual mental note and then congratulated Liz on becoming a demigod.
With her returning to the side, Tyler then returned his attention to the task at hand. With just this, he had a grand total of 3 demigods by his side and two Demon Lord Level fighters in Albert and Z. This force alone should be able to match the strength of most Demon Lords in the demon continent so this should be more than enough to make Z's plan a reality but he still had some more experiments to run.
