Timothy was excited that he got a significantly higher IQ now! He was up at a scale where he would be considered a supreme genius amongst the fish world, he was one of a kind, and he'd be amongst the small percentage of absolute geniuses no matter what species he shapeshifted into! Be it a spider, a lizard, a goblin, or a human, he'd always be at the top in terms of intelligence! It was accelerating!
However, intelligence didn't mean anything, if he didn't know how to put it into use. In this case, he wanted to use it so he, and his friends could survive whatever challenge was to be thrown against them after a couple of weeks. He wanted to survive The Old Sea with his friends, and surely, survival came hand-to-hand with great rewards!
“I need an army,” He plotted, “Since we can't fight all these bastards in the sea without emptying our mana pools, I might as well make an army fight for us! System, can I give powers to my skeleton slaves?”
