Female Novel
Chapter 436
Cynthia looked at the regenerated Gravis with a slightly opened mouth. She seemed rather shocked by what she saw. "You lookincredible," she commented.
Gravis blinked a couple of times out of confusion. Then, he pointed at himself with a questioning look. "Me? How do | lookincredible?" he asked in genuine confusion. Where did that comment suddenly come from?
Cynthia looked back at Gravis with an annoyed expression. "Don't act like you don't know," she said.
Gravis shook his head in surprise again. "But | genuinely don't know. | really don't get it. No one has ever said something like thatto me," Gravis said.
Cynthia was a bit taken aback. "No one?" she asked.
Gravis nodded. "Yes, no one. | really don't get it. You're some kind of cat, and I'm some kind of lizard thing. My body doesn'teven conform to any general look of any other beast. How could something like this be incredible or attractive?" he asked.
Cynthia lifted one of her eyebrows in confusion. "So, you really don't know?"Gravis groaned. "No, | don't," he said.
Cynthia looked at Gravis again and scanned his entire body. "The more powerful we beasts become, the more we realize thecombat potential of different bodies. At the beginning of our journey, we mainly look at beasts that look similar to us, but at somepoint, we can only see the inadequacies of other bodies. This completely changes our tastes for a mate."
Gravis was still confused. "But you have fur, while | have scales. You walk on four legs, while | walk on two. You have paws,while | have hands. We both are nearly as far away from each other in terms of looks as it gets."
"That's why you look incredible," Cynthia said. "When you didn't have any arms and legs, you looked weak and vulnerable,something we powerful beasts despise. After all, we all want to reach supreme power, and mating with someone like that wouldproduce weak offspring.”
“But as soon as your limbs have regenerated, all these weaknesses left. Yes, you look entirely different to me, but that is whyyou are so attractive, and I'm definitely not alone in that opinion," Cynthia explained.
Gravis closed his eyes a bit to get the mental image of mating with a cat out of his mind. He was a human, and he really didn'thave any romantic interest in a cat. He hadn't felt any attraction for any beast. It felt disgusting to him.
"Could you explain it in more detail, because | still don't get it," Gravis said.
Cynthia scoffed. "If | weren't so sure that you're not lying, | would suspect that you're fishing for compliments," Cynthia said butthen sighed.
"It's like, by looking at you, | can see the weaknesses in my own body," Cynthia slowly said as she scanned Gravis, which madehim really uncomfortable. "Your scales are superior to my fur, which means your defense is better than mine."
"Your tail is longer and more powerful, and | can see that even if you lost that tail, you would still have no issues with yourbalance. You can use that tail more effectively than | can use mine. Your legs have claws and have a form that gives you optimalacceleration."
“Your waist is thin and flexible, but the defensive weakness of your waist only exists in theory. Your claws, chest, and forward-leaning position keep your waist protected. Like this, your waist has no disadvantage while simultaneously granting you greatflexibility."
"Your chest is wide, which allows you to use more power with your arms. Your arms are long, powerful and allow you to grabstuff. Additionally, you can injure your enemy with them. Your mouth has strong teeth and a powerful jaw, but your head isn't bigenough to become an obvious target for the enemy.”novelbin
Cynthia sighed again. "All in all, you have the most effective body for combat | have ever seen. | see no weaknesses at all. Theonly thing | could criticize is that you only have two arms. A second pair of arms could make you even more powerful," Cynthiasaid.
Gravis scratched his chin with his right claw. "Hm, so it's all about the power of the eventual offspring, right?" Gravis asked.
Cynthia looked at Gravis like he asked a dumb question. "Of course. Power is everything. No powerful beast wants to have weakoffspring. The more powerful our offspring, the better. Don't you feel that?" she asked skeptically.
Gravis still felt uncomfortable with this whole topic. Talking about the sexual attractiveness of his weird lizard-body with a catreally wasn't something he had expected he would ever do. This whole situation felt bizarre.
Gravis shook his head wildly to get his bearings back. "How could you even consider me as a mate? We are so different. | doubtwe would even be able to produce offspring. How would such offspring even look like?" Gravis asked.
Cynthia looked again like Gravis had asked a stupid question. "Of course we can mate," she said. "As soon as we becomeLords, there is no restriction regarding species anymore. Our bodies are powerful enough to force the conception of a new life,"she said.
Gravis was taken aback. "What?" he simply asked.
Cynthia huffed. "Now you're just messing with me. Every beast knows that. After all, we all feel the change in attraction. It'sinstinct. You're a beast, so you should have felt that too," Cynthia said with an annoyed tone.
Meanwhile, Gravis remained silent. After some seconds, his right claw went back to his face to scratch his chin. ‘I've never heardabout that before. Is this some kind of rule or Law that the highest Heaven put into place? | mean, it would probably increase thequality of the beasts without needing to increase their Energy consumption. This would force humans to become more powerful.
Gravis continued thinking with narrowed eyes. '| mean, something like this would make sense. Beasts would also act as morepowerful tempering. Yet, if every beast can mate with every other beast, how come | haven't seen a single really weird-lookingbeast before? All of the beasts | have seen previously could fit into a specific category.’
"If that's true, how come I've never seen some weird looking beast? If beasts can just mate with anything, the beasts would startlooking really weird after some point," Gravis asked Cynthia.
By now, Cynthia realized that Gravis honestly didn't know about these things, which felt unreal to her. "Because the offspringlooks identical to the parent with the higher combat potential," she said like it was something obvious.
Gravis’ eyes widened. 'So that's it, hethought. ‘This would explain why |didn't find weird amalgamations OFNAS ;neat Unni around. So, incomparison to humans, the offspringof beasts don't take on a mix of bothparents’ looks but copy one of them.’The content is on NovelDrama.Org!Read the latest chapter there!
Gravis looked at the horizon. ‘And since every beast can modify their body as much as they theoretically want, their appearancesall still make sense. After all, beasts wouldn't just make their bodies half and half.’

Suddenly, Gravis shook his head wildly. Then, he turned to Cynthia. "Thank you for telling me these things. | honestly didn't knowabout them."
Cynthia was a bit surprised by Gravis shaking his head like that, but she giggled a little. "You're weird," she said. "But noproblem. You can ask me anything," she said.
Gravis nodded. "I will. Anyway, | should get going. It's time for me to gather some ore and forge some armor and weapons."
Now, Cynthia looked confused again. "How can you forge armor and weapons? Your body is full of weapons, and your scalesare powerful armor. Also, what's ore?" she asked.
Gravis sighed. "Since you've sharedsome knowledge with me, | seeissue with sharing Sure khowledgevittyolN er all, it's your King that'sforcing me to stay here, not you,"Gravis said. "I'll tell you on the way."The content is on NovelDrama.Org!Read the latest chapter there!
Cynthia nodded with interest.
Then, Gravis and Cynthia started hovering. After a second, Gravis flew in a random direction, and Cynthia followed.
It was time to search for some ore.
