Chapter 123: 100 Descendants Achievement: Z-rank Random Template?!
[Edward Arke]
[Identity: Fifty-Eighth Son]
[Birthday: April 2nd, Year 1480 of the Sea Circle Calendar]
[Talent: A-rank Jaw Titan]
[Aptitude: A]
"Sifan." Ike said gently, "Arke. Let this child be called by this name. Edward Arke."
"Alright."
Sifan nodded gently. She smiled and said, "Husband, as long as it is a name you choose, I think it will be very suitable."
"Is that so?" Ike smiled lightly and shook his head, saying warmly, "Rest well. Also, if nothing unexpected happens, Arke should theoretically be able to stay behind too."
Sifan smiled and shook her head. "Husband, Arke can stay alone."
"Why?" Ike asked subconsciously. Then, looking at the little girl who walked into the room, he smiled lightly and said, "So that's how it is."
"Father."
"Mother."
A little girl with flaxen short hair walked in. It was none other than Ymir. She wore a faint smile as she gently entered the room, then walked around the baby crib.
Naturally, Arke did not have any problems.
The Founding Titan.
The king of Titans.
Ymir possessed an extremely terrifying suppression over the Titan family from birth. This suppression came from the bloodline. It could even be said to come from the very foundation of existence itself. No matter what kind of existence it was, this was something that absolutely could not be changed.
"Little Ymir," Ike smiled and said, "thank you for your hard work."
Ymir adorably shook her head. She was truly very obedient and said gently, "Father, I also do not want my younger brothers and sisters to keep encountering situations like this. When they are just born, they cannot control their own abilities. It is very simple for me to help suppress them slightly."
Ike smiled and nodded. He rubbed Ymir's golden hair, then said gently, "You are thoughtful."
Of course.
Strictly speaking, what Ymir was doing did not actually have much meaning in itself.
For Ike.
Why had he built this delivery room in the first place? Was there any need to say more?
Precisely because of that!
Since Ymir liked doing this, then of course it was a good thing. For this child, being willing to take care of her younger siblings was already a very important matter. Since it happened to be so convenient, Ike naturally felt very satisfied.
Ike walked out of the room, but he continued thinking, "However, Ymir's personality is truly too obedient. This child being this obedient may not necessarily be a good thing!"
Ike rubbed the space between his brows slightly, pondering this matter in his heart.
This was no joke.
In the future, this child would become the king who governed the Titans. Being this obedient, of course, could not be called bad.
But!
Ymir's personality leaned more toward a somewhat submissive kind of obedience. She did have her own judgment, but more often, she relied on the people around her. This kind of situation, for a child, could not be called bad, but it could not be considered good either.
Forget it.
Ike shook his head slightly and murmured softly, "I can just correct her slowly. Besides, this kind of personality is not inherently bad. As she grows older and her experience increases further…"
Ike was very clear that as every child grew, their personality, age, and many other things would all change. As for Ymir, when she grew up in the future, as her father, he only needed to spend a little time guiding her. That would be enough.
A child ultimately needed to grow properly. If he, as her father, always made poor attempts to guide her, that would not necessarily be a good thing either.
"Everything is still manageable."
Ike smiled and shook his head. This was not really anything serious. He would just let nature take its course.
After the fourth son was born.
The days continued as usual.
For the entire Edward Family, this was like the calm before the storm.
How should it be put?
Very calm.
It could be said that the sea next would accompany continuing chaos. During this period, the calm would gradually disappear. In a sense, such a situation was naturally a good thing for a family force like theirs.
Whether it was Wano Country or the Flower Country, the expansion of these matters was already right before their eyes. No matter what, they had to continue moving forward.
On May 1st.
[Edward Sora]
[Identity: Fifty-Ninth Son]
[Birthday: May 1st, Year 1480 of the Sea Circle Calendar]
[Talent: B-rank I'll Forgive You Just This Once]
[Aptitude: B]
Sora's talent and aptitude could only be considered ordinary. In Ike's view, this was roughly a mid-level ability. That was about it.
[Edward Mina]
[Identity: Fortieth Daughter]
[Birthday: June 1st, Year 1480 of the Sea Circle Calendar]
[Talent: B-rank Iron Dragon Slayer]
[Aptitude: B]
Another child with B-rank talent and aptitude.
In Ike's view, or rather in everyone's eyes, this was actually normal. From around B-rank to below A-rank, that was the standard level. There was no need to say much about this situation.
The women on Ike's side were now basically divided into two types.
First.
Ordinary human women such as Xue Lin, Cao, and the others. Every one of them was very happy.
As for the children born from them, due to the effects of bloodline, their situation was basically like this. For them, giving birth to children for Ike was already enough.
For them to give birth to children with powerful talents and aptitude was already very rare. Or rather, it was almost impossible. That was the bloodline gap.
As for those with special identities, such as Sif, Toki, Snake Princess, and other humans of unique backgrounds, as well as alien races and the like, their children usually had very high talent and aptitude.
Basically, their children were at least A-rank, or even top-tier talents.
In Ike's view, this situation had basically already been confirmed.
Based on this.
For ordinary women, just absorbing his Life Energy and improving their own level required around five years.
The family's core situation was roughly like this.
"In the future…" Ike murmured, "ordinary women are essentially meaningless. Either they must be people with special bloodlines, or they must be alien races. Other than that…"
Ike silently shook his head. For ordinary people, no matter how beautiful they were, to him, they were basically meaningless.
Ike did not remain overly tangled in these matters. He simply made a record of them.
However, Ike thought of another matter.
As time continued to pass, with the birth of his children, after Yuhua's birth, the number had already reached ninety-nine. If nothing unexpected happened, next month would be Luna's delivery.
Ike remembered it very clearly.
Luna's child.
Then…
What result would that bring?
Needless to say, the number of his children would completely reach one hundred. And as long as it reached the number of one hundred…
Ike was not certain.
But!
From the current perspective, the possibility that he would reach the next stage was absolutely very high.
Ike murmured, "I am truly very curious. If reaching one hundred activates the achievement system, then what will the reward be?"
"If one hundred descendants still does not activate the achievement system, then what exactly are the conditions for activating this achievement system?"
If it could not be activated…
Then.
Ike more or less found that difficult to understand.
Was this a joke?
Even according to game logic, this number should be more or less enough!
If it still had to keep increasing after this, then what was that supposed to mean?
Good grief.
If it required five hundred or one thousand descendants before an achievement could be activated, then that would truly be far too outrageous.
However!
Although Ike felt quite expectant toward the achievement system…
In truth!
More than anything, he was simply treating it like watching the excitement.
His mentality was roughly like this. It was like drawing a lottery. If he succeeded, then he had drawn something good. If he did not succeed, then there was nothing else to say. There was no need to get too tangled up over it.
"Forget it."
Ike shook his head inwardly and muttered, "There is no need to be too concerned. After all, with this useless System of mine, worrying about it is completely meaningless. There is still a lot of work to handle. Next year, we are targeting Wano Country. All the work that needs to be handled must be handled properly."
Ike was also too lazy to think about it too much. His bare-bones useless System…
Continue working.
Continue working.
Many things still needed to be planned properly. Ike was not someone who liked gambling. He was someone who liked to plan before acting, arranging everything properly so that he could succeed after making a move.
He was not the kind of person who simply charged in and left success or failure entirely to fate.
That was not Ike's personality. For Ike, he truly would not act that way.
July 7th, Year 1480 of the Sea Circle Calendar.
Today!
Everyone on Cake Island seemed extremely busy.
All the wives.
All the little ones.
Everyone had come to the delivery room.
Even!
Gawain, Agravain, Lancelot!
The children who were training and studying on the other islands of the Totto Land sea area had all rushed back. At this moment, this huge group of people was gathered inside the hospital. Including their little maids, no matter when it was, they seemed extremely crowded. For a time, the place had become packed.
"Do you think it will be a younger brother or a younger sister?"
"I think it'll definitely be a younger brother!"
"No! It should be a younger sister!"
A group of little ones were all discussing whether the child about to be born would be a younger brother or a younger sister.
How should it be put…
This child was not special in terms of talent, but the significance brought by the child was truly enormous.
This represented.
After eleven years of development for the Edward Family…
From the Edward brothers, who originally had nothing.
To today.
The family now possessed a total of one hundred descendants: forty daughters and fifty-nine sons. Every child was so outstanding.
And today, the family's one hundredth child would be born.
This represented the growth of the family. It represented that the family's future would become even more astonishing.
Ike appeared very calm, but as the little ones all looked toward the delivery room, he inwardly said in an extremely serious tone, "The one hundredth child. Although not all of them are my own children…"
Ike could feel his heart pounding.
For him, the family had already arrived here.
Or rather!
For him, the birth of the one hundredth descendant…
At this very moment, it was just like when Artoria had first been born. His heart was beating fast. Back then, after coming to this world, he had been deeply aware of his own insignificance. Then he met his big brother, married his wife Selina, and welcomed the birth of his first daughter.
At that moment.
He was no longer an outsider. He had truly become a part of this world.
And now!
Before he knew it, the Edward Family had already grown so powerful, already expanded to such a scale. To Ike, this was the most important matter.
Wasn't it?
Everything else was no longer important. For Ike, the children of this family would always be the most important thing.
Soon!
Ike walked step by step into the delivery room. As he arrived, the child had already been born. It was a boy. Mother and son were safe. Luna had already gone to arrange everything. Today would absolutely be an extremely special day. Everyone in the entire Totto Land sea area would enjoy it together.
Every little one was noisy and cheerful, all laughing happily.
Ike walked into the delivery room. He did not even look at Luna first. Instead, he walked step by step toward the baby crib.
Looking at the child lying inside the crib, Ike fell into silence.
Luna lay on the sickbed with a smile on her face. She understood very clearly what this child meant to Ike, and even more clearly what this child meant to the entire family.
Ike's one hundredth child.
To the entire Edward Family, this was practically a milestone, a voyage marker.
Ike himself quietly looked at this child. He was a child who looked very ordinary.
But damn it!
The smile at the corner of his mouth appeared unconsciously, just like when Artoria had first been born!
[Master]
The System notification rang out.
Only.
Ike seemed not to care about the notification from his bare-bones System at all. Instead, he quietly looked at this child. After checking the child's panel, he softly whispered, "Sōjirō. Edward Sōjirō."
