With the goblins running around and doing laps in the pool of water, Sol sat down next to the three Cursed Iron Crocodile eggs.
"These things would be about 10000 times as powerful as normal Iron-Tailed Crocodiles if I had Cursed them with my original, most powerful Cursed Energy. But... beggars can't be choosers, and right now, I'm a damn beggar. They should still turn out to be twice as strong after fully growing up, so a threat level of 18."
The only reason this applied was because the crocodiles were still in the embryo phase, where the pseudo-Cursed Ether of Sol could actually work on them.
If they were still adults, having their mind fully developed, his pseudo-Cursed Ether Energy would not have evolved their species, and so they wouldn't have been strengthened at all.
Possibly, they would have had a temporary strength boost depending on how much Cursed Energy they had at their disposal.
Best book you will ever read!
