Chapter 236 236 – A Desperate Situation
"So, we don't know when the baby is due, Doc?" With longer blonde hair, Robyn was lying on one of the clinic's beds. Lexi was checking her already big belly.
"That's how it is." Lexi turned off the light in her hand. "We still don't know much about the fairy."
Robyn sighed. "I want this baby out soon."
Lana, lying on the next bed, also with a big belly, chuckled. "Well, neither of us knows when our baby is due. We'd better enjoy this."
"I want to quickly impress lord Vorn." Robyn continued. "I want to…."
Remembering that Lexi was one of Lord Vorn's lovers, Robyn stopped talking. The doctor didn't respond and cleaned up his equipment instead.
"I also want to give birth to this baby soon," Lana said, trying to make things less awkward. "And I wonder if my kid will look like their dad or me."
"Most likely, the baby will look like you." Lexi smiled. "I feel your element is more predominant than Ritor in the baby. Well, there will probably be a pair of little horns on its head, and the hair will be the same color as their father's fur…."
The green-haired woman's words were cut off by Ayre's arrival. It was unusual for the shapeshifter general to come to the clinic.
"Doc, I need to talk to you." Ayre stopped. "This is very important. I hope you have time."
The doctor just blinked, wondering what they were going to talk about. "Sure."
Meanwhile, Lana and Robyn exchanged glances.

Ayre stopped under a tree, looking at the shapeshifters practicing martial arts in the distance. They are candidates for police force members who will take care of this place.
"What do you want to talk about, Ayre?" the doctor asked.
Ayre was silent for a few seconds. "Did you think Lord Vorn in that other world would have the same power as here?"
Slowly, Lexi lowered her chin. "In that world, he doesn't have that power?"
"That world knows no magic and only relies on technology." The shapeshifter general explained. "Our Lord is just an ordinary human there. I purposely don't discuss it with the others, so…. Basically, I don't want them to become too shocked."
It took a while for Lexi to process Ayre's words. For the doctor, the idea that Lord Vorn was just an unspecial human blew her mind.
"Our lord's soul remains the same, right? Be it here or in that world." Lexi Gulped. "It's possible that the soul retains the memory of Lord Vorn's power. So, in the end, his power will be active again, although it might take some time."
"Hiana can attack at any time." Ayre leaned her back against the tree. "And even if Lord Vorn can recover his power, he would lose again to that demon woman."
Lexi felt a chill hit the back of her neck. During this time, she immersed herself in work. She didn't want to overthink about how desperate this situation was.
"Then do you have a solution?" The doctor's voice began to shake.
"There is one method…." Ayre closed her eyes. "Ragmonuk metal infusion into Lord Vorn's body to increase his power."
Slowly, Lexi's eyes widened. "Is that even possible?"
"Basically, ragmonuk metal isn't real metal. They are made from demon cells that we grow, then specially process. So, theoretically, it's compatible with any demon. And with the right method, those things can increase the power of the demons many times…. But that would only work on high demons like Lord Vorn." The shapeshifter general massaged the point between her eyebrows.
"Do you know what the risks are?"
"That's the problem." Ayre wore a bitter smile. "There are too many variables. I don't know what kind of risks there are. Every demon is unique. The reactions that occur may be different for each individual. And perhaps this method can cause extreme pain, or maybe death."
"You want to ask me to join this project, do you?" The doctor's lips began to tremble.
"Yes…. I need your help as an expert in demon anatomy." Ayre continued. "But you might see a lot of horrible things. We'll be using our own people for the experiment, after all. Will you be able to survive that?"
Instantly, Lexi felt like something was pushing from her throat. She wanted to vomit and had to desperately hold back.
But that doesn't mean her heart is full of doubts. "I'm willing to do that for lord Vorn."
The shapeshifter general's smile widened. "I didn't expect you to answer so quickly. Thanks."
"I will do anything for lord Vorn." The doctor looked at the prospective members of the police force. "Just like you girls always do."
Ayre chuckled again. "We both love a troublesome man."
Lexi took a few steps forward, putting her hand on her chest. "What do you think Lord Vorn over there is like? What kind of world does he live in?"
"You will see the real lord Vorn when he gets here." The shapeshifter general answered. "As for the world, I'll tell you about it later. According to my calculations, this ritual can only bring 3 individuals between dimensions. Me as the one who will perform the magic, Velvet as the wielder of the dragon's power, and Lord Vorn himself when we return here."
"Are you excited to see that other world as a scientist?"
This time it was Ayre who was silent for a few moments. "You could say that…. I've seen glimpses of that place, and it's very different from our culture. The communication device Lord Vorn and Nate invented was also inspired by similar devices in that world."
"Really, huh?" Lexi looked at Ayre again. "I imagine their government and military are very efficient due to easy communication."
"The thing is, everyone there can afford that communication tool. And from what Lord Vorn told me, the tool is so advanced that we can see what's happening on the other side of the world in seconds."
Lexi's chin dropped again. "And he said none of that was done with magic? Don't you think Lord Vorn is making this up?"
"Maybe." Ayre shrugged. "We'll find out once I'm there to visit our lord."
