Bab 1974: Roaring Contest

"That being said," Rui remarked stoically. "We can discard the species that failed to reach the Senior Realm."

"Why's that?" Kane furrowed his eyebrows.

Rui coldly glanced at the corpses before him. "Because if any species were not able to evolve into Senior-level producing species, then there's no chance that they produced the Master-level being guarding the dungeon core."

"I don't get it," Kane remarked. "If all the creatures underwent one-forty thousand years of evolution, then shouldn't they all have received the same evolutionary boost?"

"Time is hardly the only factor that would affect the end power granted by extensive evolution," Rui replied quietly with a detached tone. "Some species, for better or for worse, are simply superior. They possess greater evolutionary potential than other species. It is most likely that the Master-level creature guarding the dungeon core is that of an apex predator species."
