Chapter 1187: Are there any risks?
Idan thought about Geminia’s question for a while and found what he thought was a suitable answer.:
“Before the catastrophe that changed the world, humans were the only intelligent race.”
Geminia smiled back:
“Don’t take my words as the absolute truth. I’m just sharing my observations and conclusions. Maybe I was right somewhere and wrong somewhere.”
The tea Geminia had brewed before Idan arrived had already cooled down. While Idan was preoccupied with his thoughts, she decided to brew a fresh one.
“So Eleanor, after receiving your First Dominion Mark, acquired your bloodline as well? Is that why she looks so much like you?”
After taking a sip of the freshly brewed tea that Gemini handed him, Idan decided to return to discussing the changes in Eleanor.
“Yes,” Geminia confirmed. “After receiving the Dominion Mark and being connected to my Dominion Core, she was able to break through to the bronze rank and even gained an initial affinity with the Energy of Madness.”
Idan silently took another sip of tea and looked up.
“Is she a Doppelganger now?” he asked.
“Not yet,” Geminia shook her head. “She’s on the borderline between a human and a Doppelganger.”
This corresponded to what the {Eye of Identification} showed. Eleanor’s race was defined as {Human/Doppelganger}.
“Right now, she can only copy the human form, and then only women,” Geminia continued, noticing Idan’s silence.
“But with each new rank, she will integrate deeper into my bloodline. Her copying ability will become stronger and stronger, and eventually she will become a creature that will be little different from my descendants.”
Idan gripped the cup tighter, his gaze becoming intense.
“Are there any risks?” he asked.
Geminia clearly sensed his anxiety and decided to be honest.
“Yes, there is,” she replied.
Idan sighed.
“Unlike my descendants, Eleanor has an established personality and a form that she considers her true self. The risk is that frequent use of the copying ability can distort her personality and confuse, if not completely erase the boundaries between her true self and those she copies,” Geminia explained. “Add to that the energy of madness, which will complicate the whole process.”
“The energy of madness.” Idan, of course, was aware of the risks and dangers associated with this power.
Arabel has had bouts of insanity in the past, not to mention the extremes that exist in her mind.
“I kind of believe that Eleanor, with her pride, stubbornness, self-esteem, and clear self, will be able to withstand the energy of madness and other people’s personalities, but…”
“Doesn’t that eliminate all the risks?” asked Idan.
Geminia nodded.
“A strong will is important, but will alone is not enough. Under the pressure of pain, loss, and loneliness, even the strongest will can break. Even the most stubborn person may one day forget what they are fighting for.”
Idan completely agreed with her.
“This is where, Idan, you and the rest of her family can become the support she needs. You can become an anchor to help her maintain her true identity. You are the people who will see her as Eleanor Blake, even if she starts to doubt herself. You are the ones who are able to bring her back if other people’s faces, other people’s habits and other people’s memories begin to overshadow her own.”
Idan wanted to object and say that he had only recently appeared in his grandmother’s life and could not exert such a strong influence on her. But then he realized why he was so worried about this very grandmother, and he didn’t say anything. Instead, he asked:
“Is she aware of all the risks?”
“Of course,” Geminia replied, setting the cup down on the table. “Before she became my disciple, I warned her about all the dangers and even the existence of potential enemies.”
“And how did she take it?” asked Idan curiously.
“As befits my disciple,” Geminia said with a smile. “Having made her decision, she did not doubt it for a moment and faced everything that fate had in store for her with firm determination.”
Idan couldn’t help but smile and felt proud of his grandmother.
“Eleanor has become your disciple. What about Livia and Saelina? Will they become your disciples too or what?”
“No, these two and everyone who follows them won’t become my disciples,” Geminia shook her head. “Eleanor is a special case. For her sake, I decided to make an exception, and it is unlikely that I will repeat this in the future.”
“These two already have their own foundation, their own bloodline, and their own strength,” she continued.
“After receiving the Dominion Mark, they will receive a portion of my power, which will strengthen their foundation and create something between their foundation and mine.”
For some reason, an image of the Flame of Madness appeared in Idan’s mind — a mixture of fire and the energy of madness.
Both Livia and Saelina were creatures of the fire element, with a fire nature. If Eleanor’s words are correct, then they will probably gain a limited ability to change their appearance and also gain an affinity for the energy of madness.
Gradually, the conversation turned to discussing the initial stages of the path of the Beast Lord.
The Geminia Dominion Core’s cultivation along this path was now inextricably linked to Eleanor’s development.
Geminia couldn’t immediately distribute all the Dominion Marks. As with the Beast Tamer Souls, she needed to cultivate her Marks before creating new ones. And this, in turn, directly depended on the progress of her subordinates who received these Marks.
She had already formed a Second Dominion Mark and was ready to hand it over to one of the two candidates she had chosen, Livia or Saelina. Then she had to wait until Eleanor reached the second rank, and only after that she had to try to form the Third Dominion Mark.
When Geminia told him about the formation of the Dominion Trinity, Idan was stunned.
“The Dominion Marks transform into Secondary Dominion Cores when Trinity is formed, and all three can create their own Dominion Marks, as well as subjugate three subordinates?”
Geminia seemed to enjoy his amazement and replied simply, “This is the Path of the Beast Lord.”
