Chapter 151: Plans to Become Stronger

Lily shivered and said,

"That nun has been taking children from the orphanage to a warehouse and eating them."

Alexander Carter asked casually,

"The adoption rules at the orphanage should be strict. How is she able to take children out?"

A hint of resentment flashed in Lily's eyes.

"She has an affair with the director, so it's easy for her to take the kids out. Many of my friends were eaten by her."

Alexander raised an eyebrow. This little girl didn't seem like her peers at all.

He sighed lightly,

"You all have such pitiful lives. Of course, you're the most pitiful of all. Awakening your gift at such a young age... I can't tell if that's a blessing or a curse for you."

Not long ago, Rosie had already compiled a report about what had happened with Brian tonight and submitted it to Alexander.

While Brian was on a phone call, he mentioned that Lily could foresee the future. This piece of information had naturally been intercepted as well.

Lily remained silent.

Alexander fiddled with the small coffee spoon in his hand and said,

"You have two choices."

Lily perked up her ears.

"First, I'm a kind person. I can help you attend school until you graduate from high school. After that, you can find a job, get married, have children, and live an ordinary life."

"Second, you can follow me and live a life that is far from ordinary. Your future will be uncertain."

Alexander laid out Lily's two options.

Lily looked at Alexander seriously and asked,

"If I follow you, will you make sure I'm not bullied? Can you guarantee my safety?"

Alexander shook his head.

"Following me comes with dangers. You might lose your life one day. For example, today, if I hadn't been here, those two ladies would definitely have died."

The "two ladies" Alexander referred to were the Soulhunter Duo, the Diamond Woman and the Flower Woman.

Alexander then said earnestly,

"However, I'll do my best to protect you because your gift is extraordinary."

"Then I'm willing to follow you," Lily replied immediately.

Alexander paused what he was doing for a moment and said,

"You have the whole night to think about it."

Lily shook her head decisively.

"No need to think. I want to follow you."

Her reasoning was simple. Life in the orphanage had taught her one thing: weak children could only survive by attaching themselves to powerful adults.

Alexander was strong and willing to protect her. That was enough.

Alexander downed the coffee in his hand, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and stood up.

"From now on, your name will be Lily Carter."

To awaken a gift before the age of eighteen was highly unusual.

Whether it was her ability to foresee the future or handing her over to Richard Dawkins for research, she was immensely valuable to Alexander.

Alexander glanced at Kylie and said,

"Her safety is in your hands."

Kylie nodded indifferently.

On the Second Floor, in the Study

Alexander sat on a wicker chair, his fingers rhythmically tapping the table as he gazed ahead thoughtfully.

"The Demon Overlord is incredibly powerful, and the Seven Sins Disciples are equally formidable. These monsters are all stronger than me."

This was the first time Alexander had felt lost because of his weakness.

There were three ways to enhance combat strength:

A strong spirituality allows better use of abilities. For example, Lily's spirituality was nearly zero, so she could only foresee very short glimpses of the future. Nie San, who once possessed an S-tier gift, [Martial Soul: Blue Silver Grass], couldn't even use the major abilities of Blue Silver Grass. These were clear signs of insufficient spirituality.

Alexander's spirituality was at level seven, allowing him to summon the Azure Flame Giant for twenty minutes. However, after twenty minutes, his spirituality would be completely depleted, leaving him vulnerable.

Unfortunately, increasing spirituality requires comprehension and the accumulation of time—unless special tools are used as aids.

However, tools that enhance spirituality are something Alexander Carter had never even heard of.

Richard Dawkins' research might work—grafting a demon onto oneself to obtain the demon's spirituality.

Alexander shook his head at the thought:

"Richard Dawkins won't finish his experiments for at least six months."

Leaning back in the wicker chair, he narrowed his eyes.

"I can't wait that long, nor can I afford to."

What if the Demon Overlord returns?

Could he really spend his entire life relying on the protection of the two extraordinary plants in the courtyard?

The second method: obtain extraordinary combat equipment.

Some extraordinary tools come with special abilities or enhance the user's ability to wield powers.

For instance, the standard weapons used by the Security Bureau are better at channeling spirituality compared to ordinary weapons.

For example, if a Security Officer with fire-based powers channels spirituality into a regular weapon, the weapon is likely to burn up.

If the same power is channeled into the Security Bureau's standard weapon, not only will the weapon remain intact, but it will also carry the firepower of the officer's abilities.

However, this depends on the tier of the user's abilities.

If Alexander transmitted his Azure Lotus Core Flame into a standard weapon, it would undoubtedly melt the weapon instantly.

"A powerful extraordinary weapon is rare and hard to come by. What I need now is a way to quickly enhance my combat strength," Alexander murmured to himself.

The third method: awaken additional abilities.

Alexander would clearly not consider consuming another demon fruit, especially after encountering the Demon Overlord.

He needed higher-tier abilities. He needed another S-tier gift!

"What a shame. The Nether Lotus Demon Flame and the Red Lotus Karmic Flame are so hard to cultivate. If I had these two Heavenly Flames, why would I fear the Demon Overlord?"

While Alexander was pondering, Lily Carter entered the room carrying a stack of maps.

"Sir, here are the maps you requested."

Lily placed the maps on the table and stood obediently behind Alexander.

"Do you need me to prepare anything else for you?"

Pulling the maps closer to himself, Alexander said,

"Tell Yamato to recruit a few more Soulhunter candidates. Then prepare an awakening test platform."

Currently, two Soulhunters were protecting Richard Dawkins, two were guarding the lab, and only two were left in the courtyard—clearly insufficient.

Although he didn't have many B-tier demon fruits left, he could have the Soulhunters consume additional C-tier fruits.

With two or more C-tier gifts, a Soulhunter with sufficient spirituality could rival a B-tier awakened individual in combat.

Lily hesitated for a moment before saying,

"Yamato has been proactive. He's already identified several Soulhunter candidates. He's quite competent as a personnel manager.

However, obtaining an awakening platform is difficult and will take time."

Alexander wanted to test Lily's gift and believed the Hunter Guild should have an awakening platform.

However, awakening platforms were rare and considered strategic assets.

Only institutions like schools or the Security Bureau were equipped with them. Private ownership was virtually impossible.

Not wanting to trouble Lily further, Alexander said,

"Do your best, but no rush."

Lily bowed slightly, left the room without another word, and closed the door.

Alexander unfolded the maps and murmured,

"There are generally only three ways to enhance combat strength, but I have a fourth option."

The Soul-Soul Fruit allows one to inject souls into objects, creating anthropomorphic beings—Homunculi.

"I recall that in the pirate world, a Soul-Soul Fruit user turned a wildfire into a powerful Homunculus.

What if I went to a volcano and turned its destructive power into a Homunculus?

If I could then fuse the Heavenly Flame Of Creation with a volcanic Homunculus to create the Buddha's Wrath Lotus?

It should be possible, right?

The Flame Emperor once successfully fused Heavenly Flames with other fire sources, didn't he?"
