Chapter 1505: Yoma-Human Tribe? The Birth of the Yoma Tribe! (Two-in-One)

Tsuru's purification efficiency for Clare was much higher than for Beelzebub's Heart. The entire process took about ten minutes to completely remove everything related to Demons from her body. This was purification at the Lineage Factor level. One could only marvel at the truly miraculous Awakening Ability of the Devil Fruit.

[Bang!]

As the colorful bubble burst, Clare, tormented by severe pain, immediately stumbled forward weakly, her entire body falling into Teresa's embrace.

Although it was less than ten minutes, to her, it felt like an entire century had passed. It was truly a terrifying experience worse than death.

There was no other way; to break free from the strength of the 'Demon Dragon' Fafuhner, she had to pay this price. Fortunately, it was all over now.

Clare's appearance had changed somewhat. Her golden-yellow short hair turned flaxen, and her silver-white eyes became light green.

This was her original appearance, looking less sharp and more like a normal girl next door.

"Clare, in the days to come, Rabona will protect you," Teresa whispered softly into the ear of the dazed Clare.

The next second.

Four pairs of pure white wings suddenly unfolded from her back. At the same time, a gentle golden light bloomed from her body. Her originally jet-black long hair and eyes quickly took on a golden-yellow luster.

As Teresa's words fell.

Clare's body was immediately enveloped by divine radiance with dense feather markings appearing on its surface. Tsuru watched quietly from the side.

Not long after, Clare within the radiance first grew a pair of pure white wings on her back. Her hair color and eyes, which had just changed back, turned golden and silver again.

She looked almost identical to Teresa, who was holding her, except for the number of wings.

"I... I'm..." Clare only felt her previous weak and fatigued body and spirit swept away by a warm feeling.

At the same time, she could clearly feel the energy flowing within her.

The way it circulated was very similar to Yoki Power, but Yoki Power was cold and kept their bodies perpetually cold.

However, this coldness didn't cause discomfort, which was also why Claymore Warriors were unafraid of cold or heat.

In contrast, this energy was warm and could also adapt to changes in temperature.

Not only that. Clare found her entire sense of sight became incredibly clear and bright, noticing many subtle corners and changes in the environment.

Teresa released her and smiled as she examined her appearance.

"I didn't expect you'd still have golden hair and silver eyes after becoming an Angel. I thought you'd have golden hair and golden eyes like me..."

This made Teresa even more certain that Rabona and Fafuhner should also be 'Twins'.

Although their energy attributes were completely opposite, their manifestations were very similar.

The so-called Angelic Transformation was probably equivalent to Awakened Transformation.

Therefore, Clare, and herself, were no longer normal humans but a completely new race called 'Angel'.

Although their appearance was very similar to humans, they were actually energy lifeforms with soul as the core and Holy Light as the elements.

Therefore, Angels inherently possessed Holy Light Elementalization Ability, and ordinary physical damage was ineffective against them.

"I'm already an Angel?!" Clare was dumbfounded.

Teresa nodded and smiled, "Yes. Try using Holy Light to condense a Claymore, like this..."

Immediately, she opened her fair right palm and easily condensed a Claymore made of Holy Light.

However, this method consumed a lot of energy. For lower-ranked Angels, it was better to find a durable weapon and wrap it with Holy Light on the surface.

Clare understood that Teresa wanted her to become familiar with controlling Holy Light. So, she didn't deliberately draw the Claymore from her back, but directly extended her right palm to try and mobilize the Holy Light inside.

"Huh?"

She unexpectedly found it very easy. The Holy Light was extremely obedient to her will, and she could even apply her previous experience using Yoki Power.

The next second.

A golden Claymore formed entirely of Holy Light instantly condensed on her palm. This made Teresa very happy: "Good. Next, try to fly."

"Fly?"

"Do I need to use these wings?" Clare subconsciously looked at the wings on her back.

But just as she was about to try and control her wings, Teresa stopped her.

"No, you don't. We don't rely on wings to fly; they are just a symbol. You need to imagine yourself becoming light itself, like this!"

Teresa dispersed the light sword in her hand and demonstrated for Clare again, instantly transforming into a streak of golden light and appearing in mid-air.

"You must remember, although we have bodies and bleed when injured, this is just the vessel we subconsciously construct using Holy Light!"

Clare looked thoughtfully at Teresa floating above.

A moment later, faint golden flowing light appeared on the surface of her body, and at the same time, her feet slowly lifted off the ground, ascending to the same height as Teresa.

Clearly, Clare was somewhat unaccustomed to her new body; she still needed some time to practice.

Tsuru below watched the entire process and thought to herself:

"So that's it. Although these Angels are very similar to Winged People, they are fundamentally different."

"Just the fact that they possess Elementalization Ability is enough to rival powerful races like the Lunarian and the Giant Tribe."

Meanwhile, Im, who was secretly observing from the study room, was thinking about how many people Teresa could modify into Angels.

After all, if the quantity was too small, it would be hard to call them a race.

It now seemed that these Angels were completely the natural enemy of dark creatures like Demons, Yoma, and Undead.

Of course, the term natural enemy referred to having a certain advantage among those of the same rank.

From now on, let a few people from the team of maids led by Ubuyashiki Kuina go and serve Teresa. They happen to be of the Winged Human Race, Im thought to herself.

At the same time.

Teresa and Clare landed back on the ground and changed back from their Angelic Form to Human Form.

"Clare, according to the rules here, each Heavenly Empress can have ten Personal Guards forming a team. The remaining nine people are for you to choose. I will transform them into Angels one by one in the coming days!"

Teresa's expression became serious as she spoke of the important matter. She knew that these ten Personal Guards were her most important force as a Heavenly Empress.

So, even though transforming people into Angels consumed a lot of Divine Power, she decided to do it.

And since she had been 'dead' for seven years, she wasn't sure which Claymore Warriors were currently excellent and trustworthy, so letting Clare choose the candidates was the most suitable approach.

"If that's the case, then I definitely prioritize suggesting Millie, Cynthia, Deneve, Helen, Tabitha, and Yuma!"

Clare immediately said the names of her partners.

The seven of them had spent seven years together in the Snow Mountain, which was enough for them to trust each other. Moreover, these individuals were all outstanding in terms of both strength and talent.

In the former Greatsword Organization, their ranks were either first or second, definitely never outside the top three.

Teresa nodded: "What about the other two?"

"This..." Clare fell into thought.

The best candidates, of course, were the Greatsword Organization's strongest weapons, the Black Twins, and the resurrected Roxanne!

But she also hoped to give the remaining quota to Irene.

That is, the former No. 2 'Claymore Woman Yang Guo' who not only taught her High-Speed Sword but also gave her an arm and now lived in seclusion.

And Galatea and Audrey, with whom she had fought side by side.

Especially Audrey, known as the 'Soft Sword', who, like Helen and the other five, had lost their Yoki Power and was very suitable to be brought over and transformed into an Angel.

Finally, Clare didn't want to hide anything and spoke her idea.

Teresa listened and said with a smile: "Then let's note them down first and ask for their will. After all, there might be some among these people who refuse."

Although becoming a Heavenly Empress's Personal Guard and transforming into an Angel were benefits that were hard to put a price on.

But she knew deeply that every Claymore Warrior had their own persistence, concepts, and target.

So, it wasn't certain that everyone would agree to come.

"Yes!"

Clare nodded heavily, and at the same time, offered a prayer in her heart, hoping Millie and the others would definitely agree.

She sincerely hoped to fight alongside these partners again.

On the other side.

At this moment, on the Sea Star mainland. Inside Impel Down's 5.5th Floor, within the leisure area of the Biochemical Research Institute.

Millie, Roxanne, Raftela, Alicia, Beth, and fifty-four other Claymore Warriors, along with one hundred and twelve Candidate Warriors led by the 'White Twins', Lida and Leda, were gathered together, listening intently to every word Dae said on the podium.

Because they understood that this concerned their future life.

So, although it was a bit crowded and stuffy, they listened very seriously.

"As I just said, you have two choices to make. You must give them careful consideration!"

Dae, who was already an Intermediate Researcher and whose body had returned to normal, wore a white coat and patiently explained the situation to his 'creations'.

"The first choice is, do you want to undergo the elimination of the Yoma organs and Yoki Power inside your body and return to being normal humans, or do you want to accept our Optimization Surgery to make the Yoma organs integrate more perfectly with your bodies, and even gain free control over your awakened strength, eliminating the risk of turning into monsters!"

Clearly, Dae's words carried a subjective bias. He hoped these Claymore Warriors would continue to use Yoki Power.

But the World Government's requirement was for them to make their own choice.

So, he still had to say what needed to be said.

Just then, Millie suddenly raised her hand. Dae raised an eyebrow: "Speak."

Millie stood up, her gaze calmly meeting Dae's.

"You just said that after the Optimization Surgery, we can have free control over our awakening. Does that mean we can change back into humans at any time even in the awakened state?"

"Yes."

Millie asked again: "Then, at that point, will we be humans or Yoma?"

"This..." Dae hesitated slightly but still gave an explanation:

"After the Optimization Surgery, your bodies will actually be closer to Yoma."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire place erupted in clamor, with hundreds of people discussing amongst themselves.

This forced him to raise his voice and shout: "But I guarantee you won't develop a strong desire to eat humans! You can live on normal food, so you cannot be considered Yoma!"

However, there was one thing he didn't say: humans would taste more delicious to them.

Fortunately, these Claymore Warriors, including the Candidate Warriors, were educated from a young age within the Organization that killing humans was forbidden, and Yoma eating humans was an extremely evil act that must be eliminated.

So, if there were no accident, no one should try it. Without the experience, they naturally wouldn't discover this matter.

"Then what are we?!" Galatea, whose eyes had regained light, stood up and asked in a deep voice.

"Hmm..." Dae thought for a moment, and under the gaze of the many girls, he said softly: "Humans possessing the strength of Yoma, perhaps they can be called the Yoma-Human Tribe, or alternatively, the Yoma Tribe."

"Yoma Tribe?!" Millie and Galatea exchanged glances, and the others also looked at each other.

It did sound quite appropriate.

Riful and Dauf had already proven that two Awakened Beings could have fertility, and the child born would inherently possess strength comparable to an 'Abyssal One'.

So, this could already be considered a new race.

"Are you certain that after the Optimization Surgery, we, who become Yoma-Humans or the Yoma Tribe, won't develop a desire to eat humans?"

Millie again asked Dae for confirmation.

"Of course, I am very certain. As you know, I never hide the pros and cons of the technology!" Dae said with a smile.

Millie nodded: "Alright." On this point, Dae was worthy of trust.

Of course, even more trustworthy was the Biochemical Research Institute, and the World Government.

Millie lowered her head and glanced at the Third-Class Individual Valor Cross Bronze Medal on her chest.

"Now, let's talk about the second choice you are facing."

After Millie and Galatea sat down, Dae continued to explain: "It's about the arrangement for you next!"

"This time there are more choices, four of them. First, after the surgery, you can go back home the original way, return to our world, and live freely with the identity of people from the Claymore World. However, it will be difficult to come to Sea Star again. You must give it careful consideration!"

"Second is to stay in Sea Star, obtain Sea Star Registry, and from then on, you will become Sea Star people. The Claymore World will then be simply your hometown of origin. The benefits are that you can easily travel back and forth through the Star Gate after it opens!"

After speaking, Dae paused, giving the Claymore Warriors time to process.

Regarding this choice, he believed they wouldn't be conflicted.

After all, their education didn't include the concepts of so-called patriotism or love for their ancestral world.

Not to mention that the Carolingian Kingdom was the culprit that brought them suffering.

As expected. The hundreds of people present didn't even discuss it. Everyone's gaze was without ripple.

If becoming Sea Star people meant they couldn't return to the Claymore World, they would hesitate somewhat.

Because some of them still had family alive on Claymore Island.

But since they could go back and visit often, there was nothing more to say.

"Let's continue. If you choose to accept Sea Star Registry, then besides receiving a 'Perfect Type-I Enhanced Serum' as a gift, the World Government will also recommend six places for you to go."

Dae turned around and wrote six terms on the blackboard he had specifically brought.

Army Headquarters! Ministry of Police Affairs! Cipher Pol! Impel Down! Master Yudao! Adventurer's Guild!

Next, Dae began to introduce these departments one by one.

These were information he had memorized on the spot.

Primarily, the relevant departments felt that having him explain would make the Claymore Warriors feel more at ease.

After all, he was a familiar face!

However, no matter which of these departments they chose, they would have to start from the bottom.

If they entered the Army Headquarters, their starting point would be Private. If they entered the Ministry of Police Affairs, their starting point would be a Third-Class Police Officer in the Public Security Department.

However, this group of Claymore Warriors didn't care about this at all.

For them, as long as there were missions to do and income, that was enough.

Speaking of which, these Claymore Warriors were somewhat similar to the Ackerman Clan from the Giant World.

They were more in the habit of acting according to orders and didn't have much independent thought.

And those who did have independent thought had basically chosen to defect from the Organization.

Among them, Millie was considered the Claymore Warrior with the most independent thought, the most capable of thought, and the most resolute will.

This also made her very skilled at leading a team and command in combat.

But she was an exception after all.

Coupled with the Greatsword Organization's long-standing mission format.

It made it so that after most of the people present listened to Dae's explanation, their most favored destination was, unsurprisingly, the Adventurer's Guild!

Next was Master Yudao, and then the Ministry of Police Affairs.

The Army Headquarters and Cipher Pol were hardly discussed by anyone.

The reason was also simple.

Among the principles that Claymore Warriors upheld, one was that killing humans was absolutely forbidden, otherwise, they would be facing execution!

Although the Greatsword Organization had now been destroyed, they still didn't want to kill humans.

Claymore Warriors preferred to fight monsters and offer protection to weak humans!

As for being a Jailer in Impel Down... well... one could only say that the environment there was too oppressive, and there wasn't much difference between jailers and prisoners.

They had finally obtained freedom and regained control over their lives.

Who wouldn't want to see more of the outside world?
