Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!

chapter-645
Tatjana was exhilarated and hugged everyone crossing her path while ignoring their discomfort and confusion.
She jumped around, happy that the Eyes of Evolution finally awakened.
Alongside the awakening of the Eyes of Evolution, Tatjana could finally search for her first companion as well. As a tamer, Tatjana's greatest power ought to be taming monsters. However, she had been spending most of her time focusing on her archery skills.
Tatjana knew that she could tame a few companions without the Eyes of Evolution, but she didn't want to tame any monsters with low potential or weak Evolution Paths. She would regret wasting her few taming slots for a monster that wasn't up to her standards. Therefore, Tatjana was ready to wait years and focus on her other skills until her Eyes of Evolution awakened.
Fortunately, it didn't take that long. Michael helped her, granting her early access to the Eyes of Evolution.'Where is the Lord?' Tatjana nearly blurted aloud, her eyes moving left and right searching for Michael Fang.
However, he was nowhere near, which soured her mood a little. She had been hoping to thank her Lord properly for his investment. Bloodline Upgrade Tokens had been rare when she was still alive, and that hasn't change until now. Tatjana heard from Lilica and some other summons that the Lord must have high hopes about the Eyes of Evolution to be willing to invest a fortune into Tatjana this soon.
Tatjana was grateful for Michael's trust and she didn't want to break it. She hoped that she could be even more helpful than the Lord was anticipating.
Therefore, before searching for her first companion, Tatjana decided that it was more important to appraise all tamed monsters in the Untamed Jungle, pinpoint their unlocked Evolution Paths and the remaining requirements to initiate the evolutions as well as find some hidden evolution paths that were still sealed
It was easier to analyze the tamed monsters by getting to know them. The monsters' histories, their growth, their racial limit, and various information about their persona, strength, and other factors would be helpful to discover more evolution paths using Eyes of Evolution.
Furthermore, as Tatjana grew stronger and more proficient at using Eyes of Evolution, the difficulty of discovering more sealed Evolution Paths with higher potential wouldn't be a problem.
With that in mind, Tatjana decided to use her time efficiently, spending as much time with the tamed monsters in Michael's territory as possible.Sun Demos was the first to arrive in front of her when the Blood Oath Demon Monkey King heard that Tatjana's Eyes of Evolution awakened. However, Sun Demos was not the only one. Icarus and the other Greater Eagles, the Bilrox Queen and her kin, the Blood Oath Demons, the Golden Stinger Wasp, the Heavy Armored Elephant, and a small group representing the will of all Elementals circled Tatjana, hoping that she could help them grow stronger.
A clipboard, blank sheets, and a pencil filled with ink were all Tatjana needed as she started her evolution counseling session.
Sun Demos was the first one she appraised intently using Eyes of Evolution. Her eyes widened slightly and she couldn't help but glance back at the wooden manor, the window to Michael's room, to be precise.
"Blood Oath Demon Monkey King, a Superior Existence with enhanced physical strength, elevated intelligence, and a…High Soul? That is quite rare, and it's probably also the reason why your potential is extraordinary," Tatjana spoke to Sun Demos, certain that the monster could understand her.
She stopped for a moment and tilted her head lightly, "Three Evolution Paths have already been unlocked. One Ordinary Path, one Elite Path, and one Superior Path. You've already been exposed to Chaos Energy and you have consumed enough demonic energy as well. That means all you're missing is–..."
Sun Demos screeched, shaking his head and smashing his fists onto the ground. It was easy to tell that Sun Demos was dissatisfied.
"A Superior Path is not enough for you?" Tatjana raised her eyebrow, only to see Sun Demos calm down and nod.
Lilica was standing next to Tatjana, telling the youthful member of the Moiaralin family about Sun Demos' history and his rivalry with Zeroa, the Elemental Empress.
"So you want to tread the path of a Mythical Creature because you want to be stronger than the Elemental Empress?"
Sun Demos uttered some noises while nodding vigorously.
Tatjana frowned deeply. She barely awakened her Eyes of Evolution and used them for the first time intently, yet her first client wanted her to find a Mythical Evolution Path for him. Did Sun Demos consider that Mythical Evolution Paths were that easy to discover?
Under normal circumstances, it was close to impossible for a Superior Existence to advance to a Mythical Creature. However, Tatjana decided to use Eyes of Evolution on Sun Demos again because he had a High Soul. That was rare to find in an ordinary monster. Superior Existences that ascended to become High Beasts rarely had High Souls, but it was a miracle to find something like that in an ordinary monster.
"Do you know if our Lord's Soultrait strengthens the Souls of his tamed monsters?" Tatjana queried Lilica while remaining focused on the threads of information that were hidden deep inside Sun Demos' existence.
Eyes of Evolution allowed her to pinpoint the threads of monsters' existences and make sense of them. It was not easy but Tatjana felt that she was slowly getting the hang of it.
"I'm not sure if the Lord's Taming Soultrait does something like that. But it shouldn't be impossible. Why? Do you consider that Sun Demos' potential is higher than it should be because of that?" Lilica asked, pinpointing Tatjana's exact train of thought.
However, she was too focused on the task ahead to answer. Beads of sweat formed on her forehead and she began to breathe heavily as she was pulled deeper into the mess of existential threads.
At last, Tatjana escaped the chaos, a conflicted expression forming on her face.
She…found a thread belonging to a potential Mythical Evolution Path. No. It was a thread that belonged to a series of evolutions that would eventually lead to the creation of a Mythical Existence.
"I found something. An Evolution Series. That's rare, but it's also very precious."
Evolution Series was a series of Evolution Paths that led to the creation of a particular existence. It was important to know that an Evolution Series was far more complicated than ordinary Evolution Paths and that it was impossible to change the path once one started advancing in the Evolution Series.
"I'm not sure if he has any other Mythical Evolution Paths, but he has an Evolution Series that should transform Sun Demos into a Mythical Existence upon advancing to Tier-6."
"Tier-6?" Lilica queried while Sun Demos said similar noises, probably asking the same as the Forest Elf.
"I cannot see much about the Evolution Series yet, but the presence I feel hibernating within the thread is that of a Mythical Existence," Tatjana responded, she concentrated more on the thread until beads of blood pooled down her cheeks.
She was about to collapse when she terminated the use of Eyes of Evolution for a few seconds.
"Yep. That's a Mythical Evolution Series. A powerful one at that," Tatjana says, resulting in an uproar from Sun Demos and his kin.
However, Tatjana's voice was filled with seriousness.
"Don't be too happy about that. Meeting the requirements to start the Evolution Series and continue to tread the path of the Mythical Evolution Series won't be easy. It might actually kill you."
"No. It will probably kill you and those around you."
Lilica knit her brows deeply, her eyes lingering on Tatjana whose expression distorted once again.
"You will either kill everyone or die long before you advance to Tier-6. That's the Path of the Infernal King, Su Wukael"
