The title "Divine Demon" carried a distinct meaning, but Noah had never questioned himself about that of the other twelve Demons.

Every organization had its customs, and the unorthodox sects of the Papral nation took pride in being labeled as "demons".

Noah had never given much importance to the matter since their titles didn't seem to mean anything.

Only Dreaming Demon acted somewhat in line with her name.

Yet, her question stated that there was something else.

The Demons didn't speak anymore after that question, and Noah simply followed them as he waited for an explanation.

There was some expectation inside him though.

The heroic assets of the Hive were all busy during that period, and they wouldn't waste time on something that wasn't important.

Of course, Noah had immediately thought about possible rewards.

The four of them walked through the azure corridors to reach another large underground area.

There were many shining lines on the surface of that rocky terrain, and Noah was able to notice some similarities with those seen during his first encounter with Chasing Demon.

That was the personal training area of the Patriarch of the Hive!

Noah saw the refined figure of the automaton inside that area.

Thirty-seven seemed focused entirely on analyzing the vast array while his long, ethereal hair remained fixed on his back.

He didn't notice the arrival of the four heroic cultivators, his whole being seemed immersed in the study of those shining lines.

"I've tasked him to improve all the formations of the Hive, starting from my training area. He will have access to one page of Master's technique with each possible improvement or flaws that he finds."

Chasing Demon said as he led the group toward one side of the room.

The Demons showed traces of worry in their expression, and confusion appeared on Noah's face when those words resounded in the hall.

They didn't care about the well-being of the automaton, but they didn't understand how Chasing Demon could let someone modify his cultivation technique so easily.

The Patriarch didn't fail to notice those expressions and quickly explained further.

"I'll just make him point out flaws and describe possible approaches on how to solve them. Yet, I will use my methods to improve it. Don't worry. My individuality has always been open to the teachings of divine beings."

The two Demons could only nod at his explanation, but a strange light appeared in Noah's eyes when he understood that he might have a use for the automaton too.

'I'm still not sure if I can achieve what I want with my methods, I've yet to begin the testing phase for the next step of my individuality. However, Thirty-seven could help in pointing out paths that my limited knowledge ignores.'

Noah thought as he sat on the ground, forming a circle with the elders around him.

His original plan was to create a darkness element that was only his, but that idea was still in the early stages.

He had discovered that his individuality created primary energy that he could absorb or use, meaning that he had the core material for that project.

However, he had yet to seclude himself to begin his experiments.

He didn't have any free time between the crossing through the lightning storm, the knowledge of the palace, and the social events of the Hive.

However, now he was sure that Thirty-seven might help him.

"Master gave us our titles after we became heroic cultivators. These titles reflect our battle style, techniques, or behavior, and they aren't just random names."

Dreaming Demon began to speak when the four of them were all seated in a circle.
