I didn't understand the last bit about killing monstrosities. Who's saying it and about which monstrosities? Also the bit about people becoming as physically powerful as him doesn't make sense since that's due to him upgrading his core since child, from week core to strong. So to become stro g like him they would need breathing tech. And even if they did they would never be as strong since they would have started 10 years after him.
Thanks for explaining Solus' reasoning for why she thinks they could become true mages, it makes sense why she believes so. It still leaves me wondering though, is it really that simple? Did none of the true mages in the past think to pass it along as a secret family-technique? Is it really possible for only the very top to know it, and for them to have systematically slaughtered any new True Mages and all those they taught how to awaken to? Or why couldn't the Scorpicore, despite trying many times, teach any of the other Magic Beasts in the forest how to access and improve their core? Thanks for the chapter
Would the world really devolve if all became true mages though? If all learns how to advance their core, those born with red, orange, yellow cores etc. will have a chance to advance it, bridging the gap between those born more talented. Certainly, the change would not be without problems, but I'm not so sure that the world would become more of a "might makes right" than it is now, quite the contrary I think, since even those born commoners would be able to use true magic after learning some breathing exercises, and would be able to use very powerful magic without needing to learn it from a book (true magic); books that are expensive and often reserved for the nobles. If everything becomes more of an even playing field, it would bring equality to the country, at least, it wouldn't just necessarily devolve into chaos. As it is now, a semi-strong mage can easily slaughter people in the thousands, that would become impossible if every village suddenly had semi-strong mages. Strength would come from numbers; on Earth all humans are individually roughly equal in strength (at least compared to a world with magic), and I wouldn't say the world is all chaos. In short, a world where everyone becomes true mages could lead to a new golden era for the people, with very little poverty and where diseases could easily be cured. It could also go wrong, sure, but I think I would rather take my chance in a country full of true mages (and I would also be one) than in one where the ruling class, the nobles, are behaving as they do in Lith's country. This more seems like Lith not wanting to give away much of his advantage and trying to justify it. He'd rather be able to easily kill anyone who would go after him and his family, while leaving his family weak, than evening the playing field by strengthening everyone, that including his family. I think that a bit shortsighted though, since he also wants to travel the world, and won't always be able to look after his family (but why would people go after his family if true mages become common, since he would no longer be that special?)
Lith would still have an advantage over other true mages. He's not quite human anymore, and his transformation grants him a naturally strong body and mana-affinity. This is all assuming that Lith's transformation was special and related to his Soul, being something akin to an abomination that still has its sanity, and not something all true mages end up experiencing. Because if it's unique, then Lith will be able to advance his core much more than any other true mage, since his unique body will be able to handle the strain of a very advanced mana core. Still, others getting true magic will certainly help them bridge some of the gap. The Queen's Corpse are all awakened, but I'm certain Lith will be able to dominate them all when he's had more time to develop
