I Own A Brothel In Another World (Ch. 1-196)

Chapter 161 - Slime Supremacy

I sit on the bed with the two jelly blobs glowing in blue and green respectively. Some traces of pink push through the two more powerful colours, coming from their cores. All in all, a random person entering the chamber could easily assume that we have a good disco club here rather than a sleeping cabin. I bet it looks even weirder from the outside as lots of light escapes through the big window in one of the wooden walls.

There's not much I can do for my lovely Slime friends right now so I choose the only option I have and just wait, watching over them. I certainly hope that there is nothing that can go wrong during the process they are currently going through. At least we are in a safe environment where nobody or nothing can interrupt them. I wonder if beasts and monsters that reach another evolution stage in the wilderness tend to get killed due to evolving at the wrong place or moment.

Nevertheless, there are no such concerns here on top of the comfy bed and inside a secure cabin. Just in case, I hop off the sheets and jog to the door to lock it. It's not like there are any bad apples on the ship but accidents can still happen. I might be acting paranoid at this point but I really want Safi and Emi to move a step higher on the ladder of their species without a single problem.

As for those species, there isn't that much known about their evolution path past Greater Slime and Queen or King Slime. The castle's archives and library noted some minor mentions of the stages after King or Queen but the information was very scarce and speculative. It's not every day that a Slime gets a chance to live long enough to become a King or Queen, not to mention anything past that. Those are things from ancient times.

I've been many things since my arrival in this world, and it looks like now it's time to become the guy who brings extinct species back to life.

And I'm not actually sure if that's a good or bad thing at this point, hah.

Well, it certainly is going to be great for us. A whole evolution will definitely push Safi and Emi way ahead in terms of ability power and strength in general. For them, it's like advancing a Tier or even a few at once. The advancement stages that they go through before evolving are much more spread out than the Tiers that humanoid entities use. So, I can expect to kick so much more ass soon. I'm almost shaking in anticipation to learn about them again, just like when we first met.

There's only one small matter that makes all of this a little bit dreary. And that is time.

I have no idea how much time they need to get to the next stage. It's my first time seeing something or someone evolve in my life. I've seen my beautiful Slime Queens advance a stage, and most of those events happened overnight, which means that a few hours was enough, but we are now talking about a full evolution. To some extent, it's like changing one's race or Class but being able to get something way superior.

We aren't exactly in a rush anywhere since we've just cleared up the underwater dome settlement from ugly fish dudes so it shouldn't be an issue to wait a day or two for them to finish. The Merfolk have to regroup and reorganise before they depart towards the new home of our Mermaid friends. I've contacted the Matron already and a small scouting squad should be on its way here to lead and partially escort them.

At the same time, I would really like to stay next to Safi and Emi the entire time until they wake up. If that takes multiple long hours then it might be a tad difficult. There might be moments when I'm needed outside or something. As for my body and its usual functions, I feel like I could even stay completely still without eating or drinking for a few days and not experience any backlash. Being a Primordial is such a cheat.

Considering my options, I place a hand on Emi's round and bouncy form. As delicately as I can, of course. I don't think they have suddenly turned as vulnerable as to be hurt just by my touch but there is no need to take any unnecessary risks.
