"Oh my. I don''t expect this much of a change," Alros eximed. Since the Transformation Altar require physical intervention and him putting monsters together like a macabre puzzle pieces, e expected the changes to their mana system to be small.


    However, what he is seeing is definitely no small changes.


    "The mana system transform drastically. How could that be? Or maybe it is to be expected as the transformation alter a being so drastically?" he muttered to himself, trying to find a possible reason to the current situation.


    [ Master, I have a suggestion. ]


    Alros paid attention to Laili, wondering what idea the system guide has.


    "What is it?"


    [ Why don''t youbine them first, the gic materials I mean. After that, you can grow them and see the end result. ]


    Alros was about tough at her suggestion before he realize there are merits to it. While he could not see the results right away, is it not the same with the other experiments.


    "I see. Sobining them while they are still materials. Might work. Also, if it doesn''t, I can always use a human clone andbined them with the gic materials of the me Ant," he added. While thetter experiment likely work, he could not discount the idea of the first idea.


    "Let''s do this then,"


    -x-


    Putting two gic materials of different species is something that had never been done before, but he is not scared to do things he never did before, at least when it came to experimenting.


    With the two gic materials inside the Transmutation Magic Circle, Alros immediately activate it while using the Magic Circle to detect the mana system.


    Once he done so, he could see traces of mana system, a fact that did not surprise him. After all, it just pieces of gic materials so it is not surprising for there to be no mana system.


    This also mean he could just wait and see until the two gic materialsbined. However, some control is needed so the gic materials of the me Ant would not be the dominant one.


    He wanted this hybrid monster to be of human shape, while having some features of the monsters he wanted. This being is the baseline prototype that will effect other future hybrids, so he need to make that they will be perfect or as perfect as it could be.


    Once the gic materialspletely fused, Alros put it inside the Growth Tube. As he watched the gic materials wiggle, Ryker turned towards another Growth Tube.


    There, a clonee out before Alros drag it into a Transmutation Magic Circle. He then put some gic materials of the me Ant and prepared himself. Since the clone has a mana system, Alros could dictate the form it could take and where it should go.


    The only downside is the number of gic materials required. Since he wanted to make sure the exoskeleton would be the one formed on the skin and not mandible, he needed to have aplete set of me Ant''s body.


    Then, he need to put them one by one so the process would not fail when he did not oversee it. Alros prepared himself, knowing this part would take a long time.


    -x-


    "That''s thest of them," Alros muttered. But the result is worth it. Arge humanoid creature stood inside the Magic Circle. It skin is that of a me Ant exoskeleton. It''s head is human shape but covered in thick exoskeleton. It mouth part are hidden like the being wore a mask but it could easily open it, revealing the mandible hidden inside.


    The rest of its body also covered in exoskeleton with its limb looking slightly thicker, with exoskeleton being the thickest next to the head. There is also the fact the creature could spit out Fireball and ignite a part of it into me while not burning.


    Alros smiled, the hybrid working as he intended. The only downside is that the creation itself took too long and a lot of resources are wasted on it.


    "Let see how the other one is doing," to be honest, Alros did not expect much from the other attempt. While it may sound like, well, a sound idea, there is a lot of variables ying into it, one he could not effect as easily as the sessful attempt.


    -x-


    "Well, I be," apparently, it is a day for Alros to eat his words. Growing inside the Growth Tube is a simr looking monster to the one next to him. The demon release the new hybrids, examining if there is anything wrong.


    He soon find out that there are some difference between the two. One, while both are humanoid in nature, the one in the Growth Tube showed some bestial tendency, no doubt because of being grown in a Growth Tube.


    Aside from that, it hunched slightly, not enough for anyone to notice and would definitely not effect itsbat capability. However, when he looked at the two stats, he could not help but furrow his brows,


    < Hybrid Man-me Ant - A creature made from the gic materials of a human and a me Ant. Possess a humanoid body with ability of the me Ant.


    Race: Hybrid


    Strength: C+


    Speed: C


    Agility: C


    Intelligence: D


    Stamina: C


    Skill - me Body, me Spit >


    < Hybrid Man-me Ant (Superior) - A creature made from the gic materials of a human and a me Ant. Possess a humanoid body with ability of the me Ant.


    Race: Hybrid


    Strength: B-


    Speed: C+


    Agility: C+


    Intelligence: B-


    Stamina: C+


    Skill - me Body, me Spit >


    "Looks like the one I created are stronger," around the strength of lower B-rank, but since it took him not even a full day creating it, then it showed how effective they are. Not to mention, he did not put any upgrade on them just yet, which is surprising since me Ants are top D-rank monsters yet a hybrid between it and a human be both C-rank and B-rank.


    "Maybe I should look into thattter, but for now, I should decide the way to go for the new hybrid force I nned to create," while it see, obvious to create the better one, the resources required are nothing tought about. He require the body of a me Ant, even possibly more along with a special resource that can help reduce the rejection, something he found during his failed experiments.


    As for the other path, their strength are weaker but they are still stronger than most average soldiers. Plus, the path ofbining gic materials and growing them are less time consuming and easier to do.


    -x- Chapter Experience:


    In the end, Alros go for both. The more expensive method would be used to create elite Hybrids, while the cheaper one is for the creation of regr armies.
