Octavius gets up and stares at the now empty area infront of him, Leif. Stunned at the Death of the entity. He turns to Leif. "I have some matter to attend to. I need to deal with this pathogen to make sure no other like it can arise.
He Move back Malik working on it. "I've discovered a way to stop future vitality Pestilence," he shows Octavius the formula to it "is that a vine."
Malik respond "yes that is indeed a vine. It a symbiotic type of Parasite plant that uses other plant shafts to supply nutrients. In return it protects the plants from Pests, viral instances and, in this, case vitality Moss."
He stares at Malik. "you've just Made Corn Spikey, that all." Malik smiles. "But it will stop the Vitality infection. I test it on the Withering Fields."
Octavius nods, sensing more vitality in it than before "and the result." Malik respond "well Spikey Corn, though the thorns are fairly dangerous they don't directly cause any other harm outside of physical."
Octavius sighs "Alright." The only requirement to farming food related plant now being gloves to Stop the Plants from harming the user.
"and it saves us a ton of money on pesticides containing sulfur, allowing us to put more effort towards other opportunities."
He shrug "did the hunter golems not work that well?" Malik respond "oh god no, the hunter golems did to good of a job and toppled almost an entire species."
Octavius surprised "because of their Immortality limited Self replication, self destruction, and total consumption, not even Rat corpses were left more often bones that just become Powder or got crush by plant making bone compost,
"or oil deposits since they were small enough that they got buried relatively quickly and got dragged with Heat and pressure to forming a small reserve of oil that continues to expand. If we want infinite oil, we can do it with heat and pressure.
he sigh "I am fully aware that the Golemrimy factory can create synthetic oil very cheaply and we have the method to make it lack effect on the planet."
Malik goes silent "you're such a godamn void this scientific marvels and you treat them like a Sunday dinner." Octavius respond "Malik, you're right. However, their not a necessity to Create OIl as it is used in infinitesimal amounts at the moment."
Malik scoffs "that not to say Malik, you can not experiment with this stuff. I gave you an entire island, not just to manufacture my hybrid, but to continue your studies. I never suggest you stop researching."
Malik, stay silent. "Relatively Speaking it a good thing. If you research and learn as much as possible, you can become a sage instead of being remembered as a terrible corpse because of religious fervor."
Malik, stare at him surprised. "What do you plan to leave or something?" Octavius Looks up. "When Kyson grows up, he's first in line to the throne so that not to say the other can't become the crowned prince."
Malik respond "oh do I get a bunch of nephews and nieces?" Octavius, shudder. "I doubt my darling will appreciate how long this took."
Malik laughs at him. "hahaha I will remind the force not to disrupt the palace after this." Octavius glares at him. "You bastard."
Malik laughs again. "haha I will Clean myself up if you ever come to visit with them." Going back to the Topic At hand "and with this, our plant become even more resilient to the environment we could possible grow them in the waste of the Dunes off to the furthest east of our current territory."
He responds to Malik, "that is fairly nice as an idea but truly spacing all we have to do is create forest in the nearest sustainable zone. Our desert isn't rich in any materials beyond a few." such as Phosphorus and we don't have rainforest too much a degree."
Malik responds, "hmm it might be good to start making a jungle to the furthest east. It would entirely cut off that path to attack us as too densely hostile.
He nods at Malik, who snickers at him before turning serious. "I would be cautious, though it appears possible rebellion amongst the far noble is coming into play, at-least according to my Undead watchers."
Octavius respond "I doubt anybody can act on a rebellion with the Spec ops and Imperators on top of the Blood spawn within every Royal family from my beautiful Progenitor."
Malik respond "you'll have to start encourage Larrissa to gorge herself on blood. It doesn't matter from. Who, as long as it's human blood, she'll need a lot to give birth to any spawn?"
He sigh "I'm aware even with half the blood coming from a tree god a child still needs a lot of nutrients and a stable womb, she's mentioned it to me herself."
He gets towards Leif "let's go bud I have to get home," Leif smirks "I take it you can't leave your women any longer who knows they might actual find you themself "Aki can just teleport as for Larissa her blood mark has an infinite range and as long as the tree does not start to wither I will always live.
Leif respond "you might want to try using that Great tree body of yours to make vines to spread out your actions. I don't think they will wait like the others."
He shivers heading back For the Palace "I think I can handle that many." Leif replies "I don't even think you can handle them all."
Octavius smiles. "Sure, I might take you up on that vine proposal, though considering it's 4 very aggressive girls, I doubt they'll submit as easily as Scarlet or Tohka."
he sighs to himself, "oh boy, I love myself a good time but man this will be hard by the way Leif have you gotten yourself a girlfriend yet?"
Leif respond "Multiple, actual the Acid serpent Laine, the wind Dragon Mererid, Octavius smiles "oh I didn't expect you to name them." Leif replies "Well you don't name them."
He nods. "I have my reason, but it mostly because it triple power you went from a technical Marvel to a biological monster Leif you used to be a simple Stalker.
"Just as Cove was a bio-technical vine Monster and Cego was a fast shadow Prowler It seme technology has more attunement to becoming Living in this world."
Leif Nods as they continue to Fly Octavius left to the thoughts of it '𝒊𝒕'𝒔 𝒈𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑬𝒍𝒔𝒆.'
