Dante can only receive enough energy for 10,000 Fairy States in a day now. But this is constantly improving as the population increases and the families purchase more slaves from the continent.
However Dante also expended a lot of energy each day. Some were used to continue to expand his second plane. Some were used to speed up time within the continent.
That alone cost half of Dantes production just to double the speed.
As Dante was thinking it through, the competition was about to start.
''Leia, you don't stand a chance, just give up. You already know you aren't my opponent.'' James shouted towards Leia.
But as a response Leia just got into a fighting position.
Seeing this James didn't continue talking and the fight soon began.
After a few tentative encounters between James and Leia they finally got started. Leia had a long blue broadsword appearing in her hand and she swung out with full power.
However James had two weapons appear in his hand! A long orange spear and a large black shield with a Greek design. Typically someone would only have one soul weapon but this is the advantage of the Double Physique, he can even use another person's soul weapon.
The battle continued with increasing tension. But gradually Leia fell into a disadvantage. Every so often James would use his stolen Dark Physique. Blasting at Leia from the shadows or causing temporarily blinding her.
Luckily his Double Physique doesn't have much of an advantage over Leia's Ethereal Physique.
But this is also where Leia's life experience came into play. She was basically a flower in a greenhouse.
She didn't have much experience in reading people or combat experience. So overtime, James managed to predict her moves and the battle was even more one sided.
Dante shook his head seeing this scene. He had already thought through this. But considering that Leia will lose the interest of the family now he started considering making her into his puppet.
After all, she is a high level physique and would make a perfect couple with James. The children they have would naturally be incredibly talented.
As for the fact that she is Dantes sister? Well that would only mean he might give her a bit better treatment. Maybe her own fortress and some extra subordinates.
If it was before Dante would've been worried that the family would pay attention to Leia. However she has mostly lost her value at this point so their family would inevitably stop investing in her.
This is both an advantage and a disadvantage for Dante. It is simpler to make her into a puppet, and Dante can take various actions through her now that no ones paying attention to her.
But the disadvantage is the lack of resources Leia would receive after this. It means that Dante would have to find ways to restore her value in the family.
And just as Dante expected, Leia was smashed down against the floor of the platform. She didn't stand a chance against James.
Of course, this doesn't mean that Leia was weak. Far from it. But the limitations of her physique was her downfall. If nothing happens she is destined to be mediocre among the family.
Even if she manages to cultivate the Antique state, she will forever be the lowest ranking among them.
Of course this is still Dantes selfishness, he learnt from the records of the world tree that if you have a subordinate who reaches the Antique State, you can attach their plane to the World Tree!
This means you get the feedback from them and Dante would have complete control over another Plane!
So Dante wants to collect as many potential Antiques as possible. Not only for the extra combat power but the feedback would be incredible.
According to the life records of the Antique who originally had the World Tree, the highest he ever had was a Saint Subordinate, which took him millions of years of accumulation to cultivate.
The antique who held the World Tree wasn't from a powerful family. He came from a mediocre Ancient Family but was successfully born with a lot of talent.
So he cultivated the Antique State all by himself and on a lucky encounter found the World Seed.
Unfortunately due to his poor background, he never realised the importance of cultivating subordinates and their loyalty. So when he finally started filling his Planes he realised he lacked the background to compete with the other Antiques for abandoned planes.
So no matter how many planes he produced using the World Tree, the Antique still failed to protect them.
All he could do was escape and finally died leaving his inheritance.
Now that Dante has it and no one knows he naturally wants to find as many talented cultivators as possible to fill up the planes.
And that is where the BloodLine Families come into play. Already with the 2x increase in time, the faster reproductive races like the Rabbits have already had many generations.
The next step is to fill up the high level geniuses. After all, Dante only has young geniuses with weak power right now.
After returning to the Family Compound, Dante headed straight to the recovery room that his sister was in.
Looking down at her sleeping face, Dante still felt no guilt. After all, he only saw her a couple of times and had never been close with her.
Stretching out his hand he placed it on her head and operated the Puppet Technique. Due to its passivity the puppet technique didn't activate any of the defensive items on her body.
And finally her eyes snapped open,
''Hello Young Master'' Surprisingly in those previously indifferent eyes, there was a trace of admiration and undying loyalty when facing Dante.
''Good! My first High level genius.'' Leia alone would provide Dante with enough energy to produce a Fairy State every week.
This might not seem like much, but Dantes full population of billions now cultivating only provides enough for 10,000 fairy States every day.
But while 10,000 fairy states might sound like a lot, according to the Antiques records even some of the weaker antiques have millions while the stronger ones have billions.
