Chapter 140: Fifth Round of Descendants Born, Emphasizing a Hundred Flowers Blooming, Descendants +22
Time.
It always passed very quickly.
September 20th, Year 1482 of the Sea Circle Calendar.
This year!
More than half of the year had already passed.
Only…
Ike had been extremely busy.
The reason was very simple.
He needed to handle even more matters properly and completely manage the entire Totto Land sea area.
Of course.
It was not only that.
He also needed to deal with external matters, especially the five major mafia families of the Four Seas.
This point!
Was the most important and most fundamental core.
The combination of the two was what truly formed the most important foundation.
Precisely because of that.
Ike had truly spent a tremendous amount of effort.
During these nine months.
Ike's fifth batch.
Or rather…
It should be called the fifth round of descendants, had already been born.
Sharon, Sally, Mureen, Lorelei, Wynn, Donna, Cindy, Betty, Emma, Claire, and Carla.
These eleven women had all given birth one after another.
Worth mentioning!
Selina was also already pregnant.
This pregnancy came a little later. The expected delivery time was around December.
Ike estimated it slightly.
By the time he returned from the West Blue…
This time, it was almost the same as last time.
The eleven concubines had absorbed a great deal of Life Energy. Although they had not given birth to children with truly outstanding aptitude, every woman gave birth to twins. As Life Energy became more and more abundant, since it could not be converted into quality, it was converted into quantity. This was something every concubine would face.
Regarding this issue…
Ike's attitude was: wasn't this very normal?
No joke!
This was not really a problem.
Night fell. Ike strolled through Cake Island, looking at the Totto Land sea area wrapped in dragon-like storms under the night sky. He murmured softly, "It has to be admitted that the Totto Land sea area…"
"has already become my home."
"My true home."
"Really…"
Thinking of this, Ike suddenly shook his head and mocked himself. "Am I getting old? I've actually started reflecting on life?"
"People just shouldn't be too idle. If they're too idle, they really start thinking about strange things."
Ike smiled and casually lit a cigar.
To Ike, there were many things he needed to consider.
Although there was no such thing as age catching up to him…
After all!
With Ike's current level of strength, aging was basically nonexistent. Moreover, his body was placed right there. Would there be any problem because of this? That was simply a joke!
Only, many times, in the dead of night, he would naturally feel something different. This was a time that belonged to a person's inner self.
Ike was very calm about this.
As time passed, his age was also steadily increasing.
The current Ike was already thirty-three years old. If converted according to his previous life, he was already someone in his fifties.
At such an age, it was normal to think about many things.
Of course.
To Ike, this was nothing.
He exhaled a mouthful of smoke and said softly, "For the family, everything has only just begun. It has not been that long. Four Seas, five major mafia families. This time, if possible…"
"It is impossible for the Flower Country to truly give me three portions, but at the very least, two and a half should not be a problem."
Ike was very clear about this point.
Of course.
This was why Ike said two and a half.
Ike understood his own situation and would not do something as arrogant as thinking he could swallow everything alone.
That place was not within Ike's sphere of influence. Even if he only obtained two and a half portions of the underground world's benefits, it would still be a terrifying income.
West Blue.
One of the Four Seas.
Ike was very clear. If that income truly stabilized, it would be extremely frightening.
If he did not have that strength?
Then the Edward Family would just quietly watch from the side. If he tried to forcefully eat it, he would be burned. And those flames would be borne by the Flower Country.
"Children…"
"This really is a hundred flowers blooming."
Ike carried a touch of emotional wonder. To be honest, all the children born before this year more or less still had some pattern. His children had not reached this level.
There was usually one series.
But this time?
One could only say!
Even Ike himself felt a little stunned by these children. There were so many of them that even he was somewhat overwhelmed.
[Edward Rōzu]
[Identity: Sixty-Seventh Son]
[Birthday: July 1st, Year 1482 of the Sea Circle Calendar]
[Talent: B-rank]
[Aptitude: B]
[Edward Ichimaru]
[Identity: Sixty-Eighth Son]
[Birthday: July 1st, Year 1482 of the Sea Circle Calendar]
[Talent: B-rank]
[Aptitude: B]
These two children were Sharon's children. Whether it was Rōzu or Ichimaru, they were both proper B-rank children.
In Ike's view, this was not a bad thing. What he truly had not expected was Sally's two children, which made him completely unexpected.
[Edward Natsu]
[Identity: Forty-Fourth Daughter]
[Birthday: July 5th, Year 1482 of the Sea Circle Calendar]
[Talent: A-rank Fire Dragon Slayer]
[Aptitude: A]
[Edward Igneel]
[Identity: Sixty-Ninth Son]
[Birthday: July 5th, Year 1482 of the Sea Circle Calendar]
[Talent: A-rank Fire Dragon King]
[Aptitude: A]
These were Sally's two children.
They were the ones that shocked Ike the most. These two children actually possessed A-rank Dragon Slayer Mage talents!
Dragon Slayer Mage appearing in the descendants of the Dragonman race was not something Ike found particularly surprising. This was not a bad thing either.
The real core issue was…
Sally's foundation had somewhat exceeded his expectations.
His own Life Energy was sufficient, but was her Life Energy actually sufficient too?
No joke. This situation was truly unexpected.
Of course.
Sally was only the beginning. It would not be an exaggeration to say that this round of descendants was really strange.
[Edward Momiji]
[Identity: Forty-Fifth Daughter]
[Birthday: July 16th, Year 1482 of the Sea Circle Calendar]
[Talent: B-rank Want to Hear a Song?]

[Identity: Forty-Sixth Daughter]
[Birthday: July 16th, Year 1482 of the Sea Circle Calendar]
[Talent: B-rank Must Win Today]
[Aptitude: B]
These were Mureen's two children. Both had fairly good talents. In normal times, among every batch of children, they would already be considered quite good.
But…
Under the current circumstances, this level was not enough.
The birth of descendants this time was truly a case of bloodlines and every other aspect exploding to an extreme degree. In every aspect, they were an extremely strange type.
[Edward Kyūkotsu]
[Identity: Forty-Seventh Daughter]
[Birthday: July 21st, Year 1482 of the Sea Circle Calendar]

[Edward Yamata no Orochi]
[Identity: Seventieth Son]
[Birthday: July 21st, Year 1482 of the Sea Circle Calendar]
[Talent: A-rank Who Am I?]
[Aptitude: A]
These were Lorelei's two children.
Another pair of genuine A-rank monster-type twins. This was simply outrageous. Ike felt that this was truly shocking.
Yōko, dragonification, hardening, rules…
The four women gave birth to a total of eight children.
And!
Among these eight children, there were actually four A-rank and four B-rank children.
What the hell was this if not a proper explosion?!
Ike now even had a feeling that something had gone wrong with him, or perhaps something was about to happen to his children.
The outrageous part was still later.
[Edward Enmusubi]

[Talent: B-rank Horus]
[Aptitude: B]
These were Wynn and Donna's children. On the surface, it seemed much more normal?
Normal my ass.
They were also very outrageous. The four children born from the two women were actually all B-rank.
This was also outrageous.
One could only say!
The birth of this batch of children…
[Edward Kotsu]

These were Cindy and Betty's children.
Both were twins.
As for this lineup…
Ike could only say it was ridiculous.
To be honest!
Many times, looking at the children born this year, Ike truly felt quite speechless. Was this really the birth rate and aptitude rate of his children?
No joke. This was simply a case where ten thousand things were wrong out of ten thousand possibilities.
It was truly quite absurd.
Of course.
This was not over yet.

Ike walked to the edge of Cake Island and looked at the churning juice below. He softly murmured, "Seriously, this year has truly been a magical year. The entire family has undergone earth-shaking changes."
"Every child…"
"has truly become completely different. This enormous change…"
Ike exhaled a mouthful of thick smoke. Standing by the coast, he did not know what to say.
Mainly because!
Everything that happened this year was far too fantastical.
As his Life Energy improved, and as the Life Energy of his concubines improved, there would definitely be further improvement in aptitude.
It could even be said!
Reaching an extremely astonishing degree was very possible and very normal.
The problem was.
The current situation was truly something he had never expected at all!
The birth of this year's descendants was honestly a little too outrageous. One after another, they were practically like monsters. What was going on? What the hell? What were you all doing?
Ike truly felt this was quite ridiculous.
"However!" Ike thought inwardly, calculating quietly, "Actually, if considered carefully, there is not too much of a problem."
"As my Life Energy increases."
"As the concubines' Life Energy increases."
Ike thought slightly, nodded a little, and murmured, "Theoretically speaking, this kind of possibility is very normal."
"Only…"
Ike did not continue speaking, but he smiled lightly and shook his head.
Forget it.
Forget it.
There was not much to say.
Although he could understand it, some things were truly not so easy to fully understand. That feeling was truly extremely strange.
