## Chapter 687: Longinus and Doflamingo!
"Worm."
Im was slightly surprised to hear this word, as he had almost forgotten about it.
After Stussy finished narrating the report from the Biochemical Research Institute, Im was even more astonished.
Didn't this mean that the World Government, by controlling the Worm, was equivalent to controlling the fate of the entire Eldian race?
For a moment.
Im fell into deep thought, while Stussy stood silently by the desk, waiting.
What use could there be in having the means to instantly eliminate all Eldians?
To threaten them into serving the World Government?
This seemed redundant, as even without the Worm, the World Government was fully capable of slaughtering the Eldians; it would just be a more troublesome process.
As for whether it could be used to threaten 'Ymir'.
To a great vengeful spirit who had 'lived' for over two thousand years and only sought death, the Genocide of the Eldians held no threat whatsoever.
In fact, it might even be something she desperately wished for.
"So, this Worm of the Eldians seems like a chicken rib to us, tasteless to eat, yet a shame to discard..." Im couldn't help but muse inwardly.
However, those primitive Worms seemed to offer room for manipulation.
For example, creating a new 'Founder Titan'.
Then, using this person's Bloodline to derive new 'Eldians', and by the same logic, naturally creating a new 'Ymir', 'Coordinate Space', and 'Bloodline Paths'.
The process was just a bit troublesome and bloody.
It required a primitive Worm to first come into contact with a Human, then wait for them to gain the 'Founder Titan' Ability, and then have others eat their spinal fluid.
Subsequently, those who ate the spinal fluid would need to continuously Procreate descendants, gradually forming new 'Eldians'.
And the 'Founder' who was eaten would be reborn in the Dimension between the Netherworld (Soul Realm) and the Human World (Material Realm), creating a new 'Coordinate Space'.
But thinking about it carefully.
If following the normal biological Procreation speed, it would take at least nine generations for this new 'Eldian' race to Procreate and grow strong.
That's over a hundred years, which is also a bit too much of a chicken rib for the current World Government.
"Can Cloning Technology be used..."
A somewhat Evil thought surfaced in Im's Mind.
Looking again at the Report Document from the Biochemical Research Institute that Stussy handed over, sure enough, these Scientists had also thought of this point and had written it down as an Experiment plan without any reservation.
Now the question was whether he should agree?
"Ymir is determined to die, so she clearly cannot be relied upon."
"For the World Government to fully grasp that Future Sight Ability comparable to 'Simulator Level', it truly needs a 'Ymir' who is Loyal to me and can endure long-term loneliness and solitude."
Im thought to himself.
He was accustomed to thinking from the perspective of Interests.
On the premise of guaranteeing Interests, it would be even better if things could be made more interesting.
Therefore, he was actually somewhat in Support of manufacturing new 'Eldians' in his Heart.
The key lay in whether the Medium for the 'Power of the Titans' should be placed on a Clone or on a Natural Person.
The former's formation Speed would definitely be very fast, and Loyalty should also be guaranteed; they could even be made to have no Feelings, appearing perfectly flawless.
But as a Transmigrator, Im deeply understood that there was no such thing as 'perfect' in the World.
Beneath a seemingly 'perfect' surface, there must be Hidden Dangers that are difficult to discover. This was the 'Experience' brought to him by numerous 'Fantasy Works'.
Conversely, some existences that appear less than 'perfect', with exposed flaws, are easier to Control.
Also...
Im didn't like boring things. Clones had no Thought, no Feelings, which was too uninteresting.
Compared to that.
He preferred to create an interesting new Race, letting them bear the new 'Power of the Nine Titans', even if doing so might require more Time.
This required him to carefully ponder.
At the same time.
Under the respectful guidance of Administrative Officer Senior, Longinus walked all the way from the Deck of the Noah's Ark, passing through four layers of Ship Towers, finally stepping through the Main Gate of the fifth layer.
Saul, clad in Golden Blood-Patterned Armor, greeted the arrival of this Celestial Dragon in a half-kneeling Posture.
Although he was the Commander of the 'Giant God Soldiers', he still needed to kneel before Celestial Dragons, because Im needed to ensure the authority of the Celestial Dragon Class.
It wasn't that being by his side meant they could interact with other Celestial Dragons as equals.
However.
Im's Heavenly Empress and the Shichibukai did not need to kneel to Celestial Dragons. The former goes without saying, while the latter were equivalent to Im's God's Envoys, whom even the Five Elders could not casually neglect.
"So Strong, stronger than the Giant Tribe members on the lower floors!"
Longinus glanced as he passed by. Because his Mask was pulled down, he couldn't see the Appearance clearly, only Saul's orange-red Hair.
His initially awakened Observation Haki allowed him to perceive a bottomless Aura from the latter.
Speaking of which.
The Aura of the 'Giant God Soldiers' on the lower floors was actually enough to surprise Longinus.
After all, no matter how high his Talent, he was currently just a 'fledgling' who had just graduated from the Academy and hadn't experienced much fighting.
As for his Age of eighteen.
One could only say that not everyone was Luffy or Zoro, nor did everyone have their Experience. Not everyone could rival Admiral/Emperor level at twenty-something.
Since Longinus boarded this Noah's Ark.
Starting from the Deck.
The Mind shock he felt along the way was no less than that of Esdeath before.
The huge Golden Belfry, the Thousand Year Dragons flying everywhere, the Super Large Feathered Serpent that could freely transform into blue-skinned Humans.
There were also the Sword-Wielding Baboons and Green-Armored Sea Cows that seemed to be playing around, yet their displayed Speed and Strength were comparable to many Instructors within the Academy.
Although he was an incomparably Noble Celestial Dragon.
Ultimately, he was just a Young Person who had lived in the 'Land of the Gods' in Mary Geoise for fifteen years and studied at the 'Celestial Dragon Holy Palace Academy' for three years.
Especially the fourth layer, which was like both a Forest and a Garden, filled with various Magical Plants and Giant Insects.
It gave him a feeling of a new scene with every step, leaving him dazzled.
Every single Detail continuously elevated Im's image in Longinus's Heart.
He also deeply realized the vast disparity in Status between Im and ordinary Celestial Dragons like themselves.
[Roar! Bang—Roar Roar Roar————]
Suddenly, Longinus first heard a series of violent Roars. When he looked up towards the source of the Sound, he saw a place in the distance that looked like a Plaza.
There was a 'Giant God Soldier' wearing Golden Blood-Patterned Armor.
Holding a Golden Blood-Patterned Round Shield in his left hand and a Golden Blood-Patterned Long Sword in his right, he continuously unleashed seemingly endless Electric Flashes, fiercely battling a 'small' pink figure that was moving up and down with High-Speed Movement.
Every time the two sides collided, a surging Air Current would erupt, spreading in all directions.
By the time it reached Longinus, it had formed a strong wind blowing in his face.
"Who is that person?"
He subconsciously stopped and asked.
"Reporting to Saint Longinus, that is Saint Doflamingo of the Donquixote Family. He is currently engaged in daily sparring with Giant God Soldier Lord Dorry, the Thunder Giant."
Administrative Officer Senior answered respectfully.
"Doflamingo..."
Longinus noticed that the other person looked very young, probably not much older than himself, and immediately felt Doubt in his Heart.
Wasn't he the only Elite Graduate of the first class of the Celestial Dragon Holy Palace?
