Chapter 32 - Evolution and the Lovers

I end up spending the rest of the day resting. I also ponder the future. I remember quite vividly how badly it went when I put off my Evolution last time, so I'm quite hesitant to wait a long time with it.

However, I have guests, and I have no idea how long it will take for me to Evolve. It's varied greatly between each of the three times I've done so, and I fear that it might take a long time this time. World Knowledge is unable to give me a good estimate, since no record of anything like me has ever been made.

But, on general terms, the more powerful the monster, the longer the process takes. As I'm currently somewhere between a strong high tier Dragon and the weakest Elder Dragon, I'm betting it's going to take a bit, indeed.

I'm also a bit iffy on my choices.

*Evolution options:
- ??? Monarch, ??? (EXUnique)
- Usurper Emperor, ??? (EXUnique)
- Benevolent Tyrant, ??? (EXUnique)
- ?????? ???????, ??? (????????) - Conditions not yet met*

I'm most interested in the unknown one. World Knowledge, is there any information on this one?

*Error*
*Oh hi, it's me, Lyf. I thought I'd just help out a bit. Don't worry, this is all Divine-Sanctioned of course. That last option could be considered the ideal option, at least in Our eyes. I'll even give you a list of the conditions you need to fulfill for it!*

Hm, this is nice and all, but isn't there a massive flaw in your plan?

*Is there?*

Well, I'll be able to defeat maybe one of those monsters, and then have to Evolve to keep from Desperately Evolving.

*Ah, no need to worry about that, as long as you stay as a form of Monarch, you should be able to Evolve into this special form once the requirements are met.*

Alas, there goes any illusion of choice. 'A form of Monarch' implies the ??? Monarch, and not any of the other choices, right?

*Correct. I apologize if this causes you any distress, your Highness, but it is the Will of the Mother.*

I'll be content, I guess. Hey, if you've got all the inside info, how long will it take to Evolve into the ??? Monarch?

*... If you start now, you'll be done by tomorrow morning. Now, I've got to go. Farewell for now, dear Monarch.*
