Sorry guys, I posted the wrong chapter just now... Haha. This is the real chapter 32. What I posted earlier was chapter 33. Consider this chapter a bonus chapter!
"Don't worry. I'll be fine. In fact, we'll all be fine. I'll be making a little base for us to hide in, and I will strengthen that base until nobody can threaten us. We will be safe." Elliot assured his sisters.
Jessica and Jennifer nodded.
"I want to grow stronger." Jennifer said suddenly. "Can we get that beast system as well?"
"Yes. Me too." Jessica agreed. "How can I grow stronger?"
Elliot nodded in agreement.
"Yes, you two need to get stronger as well. The best strength is personal strength. Afterall, there are some situations where you can only depend on yourselves."
"In a few weeks, the aliens will send Resource Boxes down from space in various places called drop-points. Within those Resource Boxes are various things that we would need to survive. Food, medicine, weapons, tools and if we're lucky, Power Up Packs which would contain a random item which would increase our survivability." Elliot said.
"I know a few drop-points which would receive Resource Boxes with very strong Power Up Packs in their first drop. I'll make sure we get one from the nearest drop-point, and if we're lucky, we'll make it in time to get the second one before it gets snatched by others. That way, you both will become slightly stronger."
"Okay." Jessica said quietly. "I will get stronger and not be a burden to you, brother."
"Yes." Jennifer agreed. "You can't keep protecting us forever."
Elliot smiled at them gently and said, "This time I can. And I will."

"Hawk, can you confirm what egg this is?" Elliot asked while holding his eggs.
His two sisters had fallen asleep a few minutes ago, and Elliot was finally able to have some peace and quiet to do the things he needed to do.
[Affirmative. It is an Armored Kaijin egg.]
"Can I tame the Armored Kaijins when they hatch?" Elliot asked with bated breath.
[Affirmative.]
"Excellent. And what about this egg? It's darker and slightly bigger."
[Analyzing.]
… … …
… … …
"Well?"
[Analyzing.]
… … …
… … …
"What's taking you so long? Don't tell me you don't know what's in it?" Elliot asked incredulously.
[Analysis complete.]
[I do know what it is.]
"Well, if you know, tell me then!" Elliot muttered in slight irritation.
[It is a mutated Armored Kaijin egg.]
... … …
… … …
"And? Quit telling me information in tiny portions! Just spill out everything you know about this egg!" Elliot said, his irritation mounting slightly.
"You're a super duper powerful AI, surely you didn't take ten full seconds just to discover that this is a mutated Armored Kaijin egg? My thousand year old grandmother with both eyes blind and a brain disease can probably figure that out in half the time!"
[You don't have a thousand year old grandmother with both eyes blind and a brain disease.]
*Flips a table, throws a chair and stomps on the AI in his mind.*
[After cross-checking with the main database, this egg contains an Armored Kaijin with a rare mutation that reverts to its ancient bloodline. A more accurate name for it would be Archaic Kaijin, which is an extremely rare Mythical Grade beast found only in the Frosthaven Empire.]
"Mythical Grade? What is that?" Elliot asked, the beginnings a radiant smile already forming on his face.
[It is the 5th Grade in Beast Rarity, 1 Grade above Legendary. Mythical Grade beasts have 5 skills compared to 4 skills in Legendary Beasts. They are also usually much stronger physically.]
"Perfect! My collection of beasts is growing! Ha ha ha!" Elliot hooted with laughter.
[You are currently unable to tame Mythical Grade beasts. Please reach level 50 in order to gain enough strength to tame Mythical Beasts.]
"What! You.. You purposely withheld that information in order to make me happy first before throwing me down!" Elliot said accusingly to Hawk the AI.
[Negative.]
"You… Sigh. Fine. Arguing with a mindless AI probably makes me more stupid than you." Elliot grumbled. "Why do I have to be level 50 in order to tame the Mythical Beast?"
[Before level 50, your Soul Power is too weak to tame Mythical Beasts. Mythical Beasts, even newborns, have extremely high Soul Power and will refuse to submit to those with much lower Soul Power.]
"Refuse to submit huh. What if my affinity with said beast is extremely high? If it chooses to submit despite my low Soul Power, can it work?" Elliot asked as his mind raced to find a loophole in the system.
[Affirmative. Beast taming will succeed regardless of Soul Power if the beast is willing.]
"So if I consume Beast Affinity potions and let the beast eat something like the Beast Taming Candy I got at level 1, I can tame the newborn Archaic Kaijin?" Elliot asked to confirm.
[Affirmative.]
"Yes! Loophole." Elliot grinned. "When will the eggs hatch?"
[The Armored Kaijin eggs will hatch in 10 hours. The Archaic Kaijin egg will hatch in 15 hours.]
"I see. No wonder there wasn't an Archaic Kaijin in the previous iteration. It was probably eaten by the Armored Kaijins." Elliot surmised.
"But this time, there will be one, and it will be mine! MINE! Mwa ha ha ha ha ha!! Ha hahahahaha!!"
[Your mental health has fallen by 0.1]
[Mental health: 0.4]
[AI Comment: Psychopath. Obsessed with gaining strength and power. Crazier than the average human being. Totally nuts compared to a monkey. If the monkeys know about this, they will worship you as a Mad God.]
... … …
"You like making fun of me huh? Fine, laugh at me all you want. As long as I am strong enough to survive and protect my family, I don't really care what you think!" Elliot grumbled.
At that moment, the baby monkey hopped out of Jessica's embrace and went back to Elliot.
"Hey, let's tame you now, shall we?" Elliot smiled at it.
Hi guys, I hope you enjoy the story. The start of the Beast Apostle System is upon us! It's just a start, the main awesomeness of it will only bear fruit in the future :)
Hi guys, if this chapter is the same one as you've read earlier, that means you've jumped a chapter because I uploaded the wrong chapter. Go back one chapter to read the one you've missed. Sorry! Hope you enjoy the two chapters today :)
Elliot nicked his already scarred palm once more to draw out some blood and nicked a small wound on the baby monkey's arm.
Immediately a powerful mind space, much more powerful than all of the previous ones, descended upon them.

AI Comments: Son of the most powerful beast in North America. He has the potential to be even more powerful than his father due to his higher bloodline activation level at 60% and a much more powerful intellectual boost. Born with latent memories of a Divine Monkey King!
"Human Beast Master." A calm but obviously joyous voice sounded in Elliot's mind. "Thank you for saving me from the monsters."
"Hey Wu Kong. Don't worry about it. It was your father's last wish. How could I not do it?" Elliot replied.
"Still, I owe you my life. And I have nothing with which I could show my gratitude." Wu Kong said. Despite being a newborn, Wu Kong was able to speak and reason like an adult. Truly a legendary beast.
"That's fine. You're a powerful legendary beast, and I am merely a weak little human. In this apocalyptic world, you'll definitely have many chances to repay the debt in the future." Elliot told him.
"I will be your Guardian and protect you with my life." Wu Kong nodded and said seriously.
"I appreciate that." Elliot smiled. "Anyway, this is for you. Your father's final act was to take this beast core out from his body." Elliot said as he took out the Great Sage's beast core and passed it to Wu Kong.
"My father's beast core?" Wu Kong took it gingerly and looked at it in grief. He closed his eyes for a few moments as he held it close to his heart.
A single drop of tear rolled down Wu Kong's cheek.
Elliot remained silent and gave him a few moments to grieve.
After a minute or so, Wu Kong opened his eyes once more. His eyes were clear and the cloud of grief had disappeared. In its place was a razor sharp determination. And judging by the faint bloodlust that it was emitting, it was a determination for revenge.
He passed the beast core back to Elliot.
"That beast core is probably meant for you. I have a much stronger activated bloodline compared to him, consuming that beast core would not do me any good. If you find a powerful beast, one that is worthy of inheriting my father's power, you can give the beast core to it." Wu Kong said.
"Hmmm? You sure you don't want it to remember your father by?" Elliot asked.
"He still lives within me." Wu Kong replied with a smile.
"Oh. Alright then. I will keep it until I find a worthy beast." Elliot said and stored the beast core safely once more.
"Anyway, would you like to sign a contract with me to be my tamed beast?" Elliot asked Wu Kong.
As the details of the contract appeared in their minds, Wu Kong remained silent for a few moments and blinked several times.
"No." Wu Kong finally replied.
"No?" Elliot was stunned. He had thought that taming Wu Kong would be a sure thing!
"A memory appeared in my mind just now showing me a better contract for us. I would be able to serve you better as a Beast Apostle." Wu Kong said seriously.
[Beast Apostle system unlocked.]
"Beast Apostle? What is that?" Elliot asked in surprise.
Suddenly, details of the Beast Apostle contract appeared in Elliot's mind.
[The Beast Apostle Contract is available at level 25]
[It is only available for Legendary Grade Beasts and above.]
[You are able to have twelve Apostles at maximum.]
[Each Apostle will receive unique powers based on Nature's twelve Elements.]
[The five Basic Elements.] [Gold. Wood. Water. Fire. Earth.]
[The two Advanced Elements.] [Wind. Lightning.]
[The four Royal Elements.] [Space. Time. Light. Darkness.]
[The final Divine Element.] [Chaos.]
[The Beast Apostle must establish a Beast Clan in the name of the Beast Master.]
[The Beast Apostle will absorb 5% of all incoming damage to the Beast Master.]
[The Beast Apostle will receive bonus stat points every time the Beast Master levels up.]
[The Beast Master will receive bonus stat points every time the Beast Apostle levels up.]
[The Beast Master will receive XP when the Beast Apostle and any of his Clan Members kill other beasts.]
[The Beast Master will receive a monthly XP Tribute depending on the size of the Beast Apostle's Clan.]
[The Beast Master will receive the Beast Apostle's Unique Skill.]
[The Beast Master will receive one skill from the Beast Apostle.]
[The Beast Master can grant the Beast Apostle a skill from his repertoire.]
"WHAT?!?!?! JAAAAAACK!!! POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTT!!!!!" Elliot screamed hysterically in his mind!
"JACKPOT! I HIT THE JACKPOT!! BAHAHAHA! BAAAA HAHAHAH! BAHAHAHAAH!" Elliot's unhealthy mental health caused him to have a slightly exaggerated response.
But the Beast Apostle Contract was truly amazing.
And Elliot wasted no time signing it with Wu Kong.
"SIGN! SIGN IT!" Elliot shouted in his mind.
[Beast Apostle contract signed.]
[Received 8,000 XP]
[Congratulations, You have levelled up to level 30!]
[Please select an Apostle Element for San Wu Kong.]
"Lightning." Elliot immediately answered. Lightning symbolizes speed and damage, both of which were Wu Kong's strength as a powerful monkey beast.
Augmenting his strengths was the easy and natural choice for Elliot to make.
[Lightning Apostle San Wu Kong has received a unique skill.]
[Lightning Strike - Deals 5000% additional damage for 1 second.]
